billion, which will be the cost to basically freeze energy bills. that has gone up to 150 billion because they're including business in that now. if this is the plan from this government, the sums are colossal. huge. it is a crisis bailout. it's like the covid bailout. this is an unprecedented crisis. so, i think thatis unprecedented crisis. so, i think that is the idea. i think we are expecting to see details on thursday. the business side of it is still being finalised. it looks like it would be six months of support for businesses initially, whereas households, it's looking more like 18 months of support. there are still things to be thrashed out in this plan, but i think the bare bones of it's there, it's just the

finer details. clearly, ithink bones of it's there, it's just the finer details. clearly, i think they intend to treat this like a wartime style. intend to treat this like a wartime s le. ., intend to treat this like a wartime s le. . ., , .,, style. the figure that was most important _ style. the figure that was most important to — style. the figure that was most important to most _ style. the figure that was most important to most people - style. the figure that was most important to most people was l style. the figure that was most. important to most people was this two and a half thousand pound figure. the best guess at the moment is that would be somewhere around where the cap would be, and of course, separate support for businesses, too. i course, separate support for businesses, too.— course, separate support for businesses, too. , ., ., businesses, too. i was 'ust going to sa the businesses, too. i was 'ust going to say the figure h businesses, too. i was 'ust going to say the figure is. h businesses, too. i wasjust going to say the figure is, because _ businesses, too. i wasjust going to say the figure is, because it's - say the figure is, because it's already £a00, if you take that into account as well, you get back down to where the cap is already. 1900. so, i think that's how they calculated it. you've got £400 anyway. then, with this extra

support, are you get back down to that existing gap truss era begins with tax morning, on the front page of the i. lats truss era begins with tax morning, on the front page of the i.- on the front page of the i. lots of economists _ on the front page of the i. lots of economists saying _ on the front page of the i. lots of economists saying that's - on the front page of the i. lots of economists saying that's a - on the front page of the i. lots of economists saying that's a very i economists saying that's a very tricky thing to deliver. absolutely, it's also the _ tricky thing to deliver. absolutely, it's also the wrong _ tricky thing to deliver. absolutely, it's also the wrong thing _ tricky thing to deliver. absolutely, it's also the wrong thing to - it's also the wrong thing to deliver~ _ it's also the wrong thing to deliver. tax cuts will benefit the wealthiest, and that's not how you -et wealthiest, and that's not how you get out _ wealthiest, and that's not how you get out of— wealthiest, and that's not how you get out of this cost of living crisis — get out of this cost of living crisis that's going to plunge us into a — crisis that's going to plunge us into a very— crisis that's going to plunge us into a very serious recession. it's worth— into a very serious recession. it's worth pointing out that that is also the question around who's going to pay for— the question around who's going to pay for the — the question around who's going to pay for the energy alleviation measures, which by the way are welcome, — measures, which by the way are welcome, especially including businesses. but i think it's obvious that it _ businesses. but i think it's obvious that it looks — businesses. but i think it's obvious that it looks like either we will pay for— that it looks like either we will pay for it— that it looks like either we will pay for it in the form of tax or we

that's why the bills are soaring the way they are. i'm sorry to interrupt. we are out of time. i know you will both be back shortly. thank you very much. that's it for the papers this hour. i lewis on jones. i lewis onjones. bye—bye. good evening. hello there. i'm gavin ramjaun, with your update from the bbc sport centre. it's been a mixed night for british clubs in the champions league this evening. manchester city were on red hot form in spain, chelsea manchester city were on red—hot form in spain, chelsea were surprisingly beaten in croatia, while celtic returned to the group stage after five years away with a 3—0 defeat to the holders real madrid. andy swiss reports. first celtic, a return to the champions league against the champions. rail madrid, 0 a cackling atmosphere. oh

so close from callum mcgregor. real�*s class finally told. that put them ahead, and further goals rounded off a 3—0 win. the light for them, but defeat for celtic. manchester city were a way to sevilla. city ultimately cruised to a 4—0 victory. it was a bad night for chelsea, though, wearing white, they were outpaced and outplayed. early days, but for chelsea, early worries. andy swiss, bbc news. wales have secured their spot in the play—offs as they look to reach next year's women's world cup in australia and new zealand. they only needed a draw

with slovenia to secure second place in their qualifying group, which keeps them in the hunt for a place at their first women's majorfinals. there was a crowd ofjust over 12,000 in to see it in cardiff — a record for a wales women's fixture. it's a real feeling to be out of here playing in front of all these fans. everyone came out tonight and they got us through. can't be more proud of the group. we've worked so hard to get to where we are today, and to do it in front of this crowd was an unbelievable achievement, and onto the next one. england's european champions celebrated their homecoming with a 10—0 win over luxembourg in their final world cup qualifier. this was the lionesses' first match on home soil since their euros win this summer, and they turned on the style in stoke, with georgia stanway scoring twice. they ended up with eight different goalscorers, and it rounds off a campaign where they've played ten, won ten, scored 80 goals and not conceded once. they have still yet to lose under coach sarina wiegman. scotland have already

qualified for the play—offs, but they ended their group with a comfortable 6—0 win against the faroe islands, erin cuthbert with the pick of the goals. northern ireland rounded off their world cup qualifying campaign in latvia — where three own goals campaign in latvia, where three own goals helped them to a 3—1win. northern ireland haven't qualified, but they did finish on 19 points — a record for their senior women's side. rafael nadal says he doesn't know when he'll return to the court after his shock fourth round loss at the us open. it's the first time he's been beaten at a grand slam this year, losing to the american frances tiafoe, who knocked him out in four four sets, ending any hopes of a record extending 23rd grand slam. it means there'll be a first time major winner from the men's draw. after the match, the spaniard said he wasn't sure of his immediate future, with his thoughts elsewhere. i wish him all the very best. i need

to go— i wish him all the very best. i need to go back. — i wish him all the very best. i need to go back. i— i wish him all the very best. i need to go back, i need to fix things. i don't _ to go back, i need to fix things. i don't know _ to go back, i need to fix things. i don't know. when i'm going come back _ don't know. when i'm going come hack in — don't know. when i'm going come back. i'm going to try to be ready mentally. — back. i'm going to try to be ready mentally, but i feel like i will be ready— mentally, but i feel like i will be ready to complete again, i will be there _ well, nadal�*s loss opens up the possibility of casper ruud becoming the first ever norwegian men's number one. ruud beat matteo berretini in straight sets to make the semi—finals. he'll face the winner of nick krygios or karen khachenov. there's 36 hours before the pga championship at wentworth, but all the build—up unsurprisingly is focussed on the war of words between those on the breakaway saudi—funded liv tour, and those who aren't, with players from both tours set to go head—to—head on thursday. the defending champion at wentworth is the american billy horschel. he says the 17 liv players due to play the event this year are hypocrites and opportunistic in taking up spots in the competition. liv players can earn world ranking points at wentworth, unlike the events on their breakaway schedule.

england women have announced a squad of 14 players for the vitality international t20 series against india, which gets under way in durham on saturday. pace bowler lauren bell has received herfirst international twenty20 call—up, while katherine brunt has been rested for england's three—match series against india this month. bell made her test and one—day international debuts earlier this year. nat sciver will continue to lead england in the absence of injured captain heather knight. and it was a dramatic day for defending champion primoz roglic on stage 16 of the vuelta a espana. it looked like a great move, as he attacked in the closing stages, going clear of race leader remco evenepoel in the last three kilometres — but evenepoel then had to stop with a mechanical issue. luckily for him, if you have a problem that close to the finish, you get the same time as the group you were with at that point. roglic then raced flat out — only to crash in the closing stages. he was given the same time as stage winner mads pedersen, but after all his efforts, he only gained eight seconds

on evenepoel and injured himself. he's still1 minute 26 behind, with 5 stages to go. with five stages to go. gunning for him. that is all the sport for us for now. we'll see you later on.
