hello, i'm nuala mcgovern, this is outside source. president putin says russia says the sanctions imposed on russia following his invasion of ukraine are the biggest current threat to the world economy. lam i am talking about west sanction fever, it's brazen and aggressive attempts to force others to behave, deprive them of their sovereignty and fooled them into submission. we'll look at what other claims vladimir putin made in that speech and at russia's disinformation campaign around this war. here in the uk liz truss takes part in herfirst prime minister's questions, and says she plans to help people with rising energy costs. i, as prime minister,

will take immediate action to help people with the cost of their energy bills and i will be making an announcement on that tomorrow. and we'll report from pakistan and the deadly flooding there. officials the threat of the country's largest lake bursting its banks is receding. we start with the war in ukraine. the russian president vladimir putin says the sanctions imposed on russia following the invasion of ukraine represent the biggest current threat to the world economy. have a listen. translation: after the pandemic, different challenges _ arrived that have also been global in nature and pose a danger to the whole world. i'm talking about the west's sanctions fever. its brazen and aggressive attempts to force others how to behave,

deprive them of their sovereignty and force them into submission. there is nothing unusual about that. this policy has been used by the west for decades. the kremlin has repeatedly tried to downplay the effect of sanctions on its economy. with statements like this, from last week: "sanctions are not working and are more harmful to their authors." but evidence suggests otherwise. for instance, russia's economy is due to shrink by io%. and more than 1,000 international companies across a range of sectors have left russia this year. we also know that in december, the eu will ban 90% of all russian oil imports. we aim at lowering the costs of gas. therefore we will propel a price cut on russian gas. of course, the objective is very clear here. we

know that our sanctions are deeply grinding into the russian economy with a heavy negative impact, but pollutant is partially buffering through fossil fuel revenues come in so here, the objective is we must cut russia's revenues which put uses to finance his atrocious war in ukraine. before the invasion, russia accounted for 40% of the eu's imported gas. and today that proportion is down to only 9%. that's according to the european commission. let's get more on what the eu is proposing to do here's our brussels correspondentjessica parker. so they have outlined five proposals, the commission president, one of which you were just talking about there, probably the headline proposal. just to take you through them, she said the commission which is the executive arm of the european union is proposing a mandatory target for reducing electricity at peak hours when it is most

expensive. a cap on revenues of companies to reduce electricity —— produce electricity at a lower cost, renewables, and using the money taken from those profits and redistributing it to vulnerable households and businesses that are struggling as well. solidarity contribution she called it for fossil fuel companies, some contribution she called it for fossilfuel companies, some money fossil fuel companies, some money from fossilfuel companies, some money from fossilfuel fossilfuel companies, some money from fossil fuel companies to go to the scene ends and facilitating some supports for energy companies who are struggling with the kind of volatile energy market at the moment and this cap on russian gas. here's one perspective this is bill browder, co founder of hermitage capital management and a long time campaigner against russian corruption. he's obviously hurting right now. he is hurting _ he's obviously hurting right now. he is hurting in— he's obviously hurting right now. he is hurting in a lot of different ways, — is hurting in a lot of different ways, and _ is hurting in a lot of different ways, and there is really no way to put a _ ways, and there is really no way to put a brave — ways, and there is really no way to put a brave face on the fact that we have imposed the sanctions that we've _ have imposed the sanctions that we've gone after the central bank reserves — we've gone after the central bank reserves of russia, $350 billion of

frozen _ reserves of russia, $350 billion of frozen a — reserves of russia, $350 billion of frozen. a gun after the oligarch's assets _ frozen. a gun after the oligarch's assets abroad. many oligarchs are now sanctioned. and we are now starting — now sanctioned. and we are now starting to— now sanctioned. and we are now starting to go after the oil exports of russia, — starting to go after the oil exports of russia, so put in is really in a tight— of russia, so put in is really in a tight place _ of russia, so put in is really in a tight place. he often says all these things— tight place. he often says all these things about how it's not hurting them, _ things about how it's not hurting them, but — things about how it's not hurting them, but if it wasn't hurting them so badly, _ them, but if it wasn't hurting them so badly, then why would he have cut off gas _ so badly, then why would he have cut off gas supplies to europe in response to the sanctions? this is a clear— response to the sanctions? this is a clear message that he is hurting very badly. let's speak to vitaliy shevchenko from bbc monitoring. good to happy with us here an outside source. a very different narrative there, right, as we go through a little bit of what has been said. who do you think mr putin was trying convince?— was trying convince? well, let's not foruet was trying convince? well, let's not for: et that was trying convince? well, let's not forget that president _ was trying convince? well, let's not forget that president putin - was trying convince? well, let's not forget that president putin is - was trying convince? well, let's not forget that president putin is a - forget that president putin is a politician and a former kgb officer. there is nothing in thatjob descriptions for those two professions about telling the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the

truth. so when addressing that for him, he was there to do a job, and thatjob was, as the minister said, to put a brave face on things, to put the best foot forward. so he spoke about how russia was essentially winning in a standoff with the west. to take the example of gas, for example, he said, look, we can't supply gas to europe because he'd sanctioned us. you can prepare the turbines necessary to pump the gas to europe. so, it's your fault. pump the gas to europe. so, it's yourfault. you pump the gas to europe. so, it's your fault. you are shooting yourself in the foot. however, what audiences in russia may not know is the fact that the company that services those turbines, it said that the fault affecting the supplies is actually not enough to completely hold the flow of gas. that should give us an idea of how

it works. president putin is definitely trying to make things look very good and he's targeting, first of all, audiences within russia. is first of all, audiences within russia. , ., ., first of all, audiences within russia. , . . , , ., russia. is the average russian said to san feeling _ russia. is the average russian said to san feeling the _ russia. is the average russian said to san feeling the effect _ russia. is the average russian said to san feeling the effect of- to san feeling the effect of sanctions?— to san feeling the effect of sanctions? , . , �* , ., sanctions? they are, but it's not what imposing — sanctions? they are, but it's not what imposing sanctions - sanctions? they are, but it's not what imposing sanctions could l sanctions? they are, but it's not. what imposing sanctions could have hoped for because i was talking to my friends in russia, for example, and they say, ok, we may not necessarily have access to the things that we used to buy before russia invaded ukraine, but are the shelves empty in our shops? no, they are not. so they are trying to readjust, but it's not a complete economic meltdown that we are seeing in russia. this is the point that president putin makes again and again. you are trying to target our economy, imposing my sanctions, but

look at us. we are robust. we can't sell gas to you, for example, but we will sell it to somebody else. the plaintiff that he's been making ever since russia invaded ukraine in february is that we are renting and you are losing. taste february is that we are renting and you are losing-— you are losing. we will stay with us, you are losing. we will stay with us. because _ you are losing. we will stay with us, because we _ you are losing. we will stay with us, because we have _ you are losing. we will stay with us, because we have some - you are losing. we will stay with | us, because we have some other issues to get there as well. in the same speech, president putin also blasted the grain export deal negotiated by the un. it unblocked the movement of grain, other foods, and fertiliser from the black sea — which had been halted since russia's invasion in late february. before the war 12% of global wheat exports came from ukraine. some countries in africa and the middle east have been hit the hardest. so the deal was intended to help them. but president putin claims this isn't the case. translation: we have done everything to ensure that - ukrainian grain is exported. and, of course, we proceeded with this. i met with the leaders of the african union, with the leaders of african states, and promised them that we would do

everything to ensure their interests and facilitate the export of ukrainian grain. we did it together with turkey. as a result, i report, colleagues, if we exclude turkey as an intermediary country, then almost all the grain exported from ukraine was sent not to the developing and poorest countries, but to the eu countries. just today, trucks arrived, the 23,000 tonnes of food doctor last week and motherships like this are headed to egypt, yemen and sudan. i want to go back. let's go back to vitaly shevchenko from bbc monitoring. does account to get there to russia about the claims that are being made there about brain?— there about brain? essentially, we are seeinu there about brain? essentially, we are seeing completely _ there about brain? essentially, we are seeing completely different. are seeing completely different versions of reality, two different realities. what the president putin

and state controlled media in russia have been saying is that a russia, it's not actually invaded ukraine, in doing so, destabilised a lot of things, such as the grain markets, the fuel prices, russia is trying to save the world, to feed the world, to stop world war iii from breaking out, so that helps sell what the kremlin because this special military operation within russia. but if you look at freer sources, more open sources, social media, you start to notice that message is struggling to get much attention as we are into the seven month of the war. �* ., , war. i'm wondering then, is it ossible war. i'm wondering then, is it possible to — war. i'm wondering then, is it possible to know _ war. i'm wondering then, is it possible to know whether - war. i'm wondering then, is it i possible to know whether there war. i'm wondering then, is it - possible to know whether there is fear among the people who are there for their future? timer;r fear among the people who are there for their future ?_ for their future? they are definitely _ for their future? they are definitely concerned, - for their future? they are definitely concerned, but | for their future? they are - definitely concerned, but also after

being subjected to years, decades of relentless state—controlled narratives, i'm reluctant to call it propaganda, but the narrative has been relentless in russia telling russian audiences that what they are doing isjust, what they russian audiences that what they are doing is just, what they are doing is right. so while being concerned about their livelihoods and well—being, there is also a sense of well—being, there is also a sense of we have not to do this we are fighting neo—nazis and nationalists in ukraine who are being nurtured by the west. of course, there's no evidence to support these claims, but this is what makes russian audiences more receptive to the message they keep getting the other tv screens, and the message is that we had no other choice, we had to do it because our mission is just. thank you so much for giving us your analysis on that story right now on outside source.

some of the issues raised by the war in ukraine will affect the new uk prime minister, today the new prime minister liz truss was in parliament for her first prime minister's questions. here's she is with her newly appointed front bench facing the opposition labour leader sir keir starmer. and the economy and the cost of living was top of the agenda. liz truss says she'll announce plans tomorrow to deal with the energy crisis. here's the first exchange between keir starmer and liz truss. the prime minister knows she has no choice but to back in energy price freeze. it will not be cheap and the real choice, the political choice is who is going to pay. is she really telling us that she is going to leave these vast excess profits on the table and to make working people

foot the bill for decades to come? i foot the bill for decades to come? i understand that people across our country _ understand that people across our country are — understand that people across our country are struggling with the cost of living _ country are struggling with the cost of living and struggling with their energy— of living and struggling with their energy bills. and that is why i as prime _ energy bills. and that is why i as prime minister will take immediate action— prime minister will take immediate action to _ prime minister will take immediate action to help people but the cost of their— action to help people but the cost of their energy bills and i will be making an — of their energy bills and i will be making an announcement to this house on that— making an announcement to this house on that tomorrow. liz truss plans to fund that cap by borrowing more money. labour has also suggested doing that but paying for it instead through a windfall tax off the profits of energy companies. this was another exchange. more borrowing than is needed, that is the true cost of her choice to protect oil and gas profits, isn't it? ' protect oil and gas profits, isn't it? ~ ,, , ., ~ protect oil and gas profits, isn't it? ~ ., , protect oil and gas profits, isn't it? ~ ., i, ., it? mr speaker, the reality is that this country _ it? mr speaker, the reality is that this country will _ it? mr speaker, the reality is that this country will not _ it? mr speaker, the reality is that this country will not be _ it? mr speaker, the reality is that this country will not be able - it? mr speaker, the reality is that this country will not be able to . it? mr speaker, the reality is that | this country will not be able to tax its way _ this country will not be able to tax its way to — this country will not be able to tax its way to growth. the way we will

grow _ its way to growth. the way we will grow our— its way to growth. the way we will grow our economy is by attracting investments, keeping taxes low, delivering — investments, keeping taxes low, delivering the reforms to build projects— delivering the reforms to build projects quicker. that is the way that we — projects quicker. that is the way that we will create jobs and opportunities across our country. the other issue that came up in prime minister's questions was corporation tax. in last year's budget former chancellor rishi sunak announced that corporation tax would increase by six percentage points to 25 % in 2023. during her campaign liz truss said she "would not do the corporation tax hikes because i think it's vitally important that we're attracting investment into our country." keir starmer spoke about this too. she's choosing to hand the banks a tax cut. add it all together and companies that are already doing well are getting a £17 billion tax cut while working people pay for the cost of living crisis, stroke

victims wait an hour for an ambulance and criminals walk the streets with impunity. families and public services need every penny they can get. how on earth does she think that now is the right time to protect profits and gives amazon a tax break? i protect profits and gives amazon a tax break? ., ., , ., tax break? i am on the side of --eole tax break? i am on the side of people who — tax break? i am on the side of people who work _ tax break? i am on the side of people who work hard - tax break? i am on the side of people who work hard and - tax break? i am on the side of people who work hard and do | tax break? i am on the side of i people who work hard and do the right— people who work hard and do the right thing. that is why we will reverse — right thing. that is why we will reverse the national insurance increase — reverse the national insurance increase and that is why we will keep— increase and that is why we will keep corporation tax low, because ultimately, we want investment right across— ultimately, we want investment right across our— ultimately, we want investment right across our country. we want newjobs and new _ across our country. we want newjobs and new opportunities, and that is what _ and new opportunities, and that is what i _ and new opportunities, and that is what i will— and new opportunities, and that is what i will deliver as prime minister _ this is a different prime minister is question —— this was a different prime minister's questions

to liz truss' predecessor boris johnson. here's our chief political correspondent nick eardley. i think they will be quite happy with how that first outing in the commons on. there's not much time in the newjob to think things through. she was straight here this morning for that really important performance. and as you saw in damien's piece there, the main debate wasn't actually about whether a lot needs to be done to tackle energy prices. that was having to pay for it to pay for it, and you can see already that differentiation between liz truss who is likely to borrow money to do it in the labour party and other app opposition parties who say you should be taxing the big oil and gas companies who are making record profits to do it. liz truss has set herself three things for all of us to judge her by over the next few months. one is whether she can get the economy growing again, the other is whether she can repair the nhs. the third one is that energy prices, whether she can do enough to help households through the winter and enough to

repair the energy sector in the uk. also in parliament, there was this exchange with liz truss and the former prime minister teresa mae. and ask my right honourable friend, why does she think it is that all three female prime ministers have conservative?— i think my right honourable friend for her— i think my right honourable friend for her fantastic question. i look forward — for her fantastic question. i look forward to— for her fantastic question. i look forward to calling on her advice from _ forward to calling on her advice from her— forward to calling on her advice from her time forward to calling on her advice from hertime in forward to calling on her advice from her time in office as i start my work. — from her time in office as i start my work. as _ from her time in office as i start my work, as i start my work as prime minister _ my work, as i start my work as prime minister it— my work, as i start my work as prime minister it is— my work, as i start my work as prime minister. it is quite extraordinary, isn't _ minister. it is quite extraordinary, isn't it. _ minister. it is quite extraordinary, isn't it. that — minister. it is quite extraordinary, isn't it, that there doesn't seem to be isn't it, that there doesn't seem to he the _ isn't it, that there doesn't seem to be the ability in the labour party to find _ be the ability in the labour party to find a — be the ability in the labour party to find a female leader, or indeed a leader— to find a female leader, or indeed a leader who — to find a female leader, or indeed a leader who doesn't come from north london _ leader who doesn't come from north london the — leader who doesn't come from north london. the hear, hear! i don't know

what _ london. the hear, hear! i don't know what the _ london. the hear, hear! i don't know what the issue is. this brings us to another feature of this government. liz truss' new cabinet is the most diverse in history for the first time none of the most senior roles are held by a white man. therese coffey a long time friend of liz truss is health secretary and the first female deputy prime minister. this morning she laid out the government's main priorities. the prime minister set out yesterday and the doorsteps of downing street three main priorities by growing the economy, tackling the energy situation and indeed the nhs. in terms of energy, this is a combination of supports to households and businesses, but also of supporting, making our energy industry to make sure that we have sufficient energy coming through in the future. both short—term and medium to long—term proposals there. suella braverman a barrister who's been a controversial and outspoken attorney general is the new home secretary. james cleverly an army

reserve officer and former education secretary is foreign secretary. kwasi kwarteng who worked in finance before his time in politics is chancellor. he had this to say after meeting with bank of england governor andrew bailey. i just want to reaffirm our committment to your independence. as i said independence does not mean immunity from discussion about what you say. but i think independence is really a cornerstone of how we see managing the economy. our political editor chris mason has more rob watson has had a busy few days and we are glad you could join us. let's start with what did you think of liz truss's first performance at prime minister is questions? welcomed the first thing i should say, for anybody who hasn't ever beenin say, for anybody who hasn't ever been in the chamber of the house of commons, it is a lot smaller and more intense than it looks on

television. everybody is really close. i've got to tell you whether being the leader of the opposition or the prime minister at question time would put the fear of god into anyone. so having sort of set the scene in that way, i think there were low expectations for low stress, not regarded as one of the greatest public performers, but actually after looking a tiny bit nervous at the start, i think the general verdict across the political spectrum, actually is that she was pretty businesslike, pretty confident, kept it simple, didn't try anything fancy. did confident, kept it simple, didn't try anything fancy-— confident, kept it simple, didn't try anything fancy. did you get any indications of _ try anything fancy. did you get any indications of what _ try anything fancy. did you get any indications of what sort _ try anything fancy. did you get any indications of what sort of - indications of what sort of government this could be? well, you know, government this could be? well, you know. that's — government this could be? well, you know, that's the _ government this could be? well, you know, that's the most _ government this could be? well, you know, that's the most fascinating - know, that's the most fascinating question in british politics. as government going to be as liz truss campaigned for it to be, which is something pretty radical and right wing, the idea of tax cuts, a smaller state, deregulation. certainly, if you look at that appointed around her and of course

people have picked at the issue of diversity and gender, but actually the closest people to her share that the closest people to her share that the right of centre very much right of centre, or in the end, the orthodoxies and how governments deal with tax and spending and venetian's finances. will they kick in? i think we genuinely don't know and we probably won't know until the government has a sort of financial budget, statement, whatever you'd like to call and setting up the economic plan in about two weeks' time. , , , , economic plan in about two weeks' time. ,, , economic plan in about two weeks' time. , , , ., ~ economic plan in about two weeks' time. , , , ., time. just briefly, as we talk about the diversity _ time. just briefly, as we talk about the diversity within _ time. just briefly, as we talk about the diversity within that _ the diversity within that government, let's see what they are going to have as their policy is, that will become apparent, what about that zinger from teresa mae towards the labour party and also i suppose liz truss coming back with something. why haven't labour managed to diversify their banks, particularly when it comes to their leaders? ~ . ., particularly when it comes to their leaders? ~ .. , .,

leaders? well, i can tell you, if there was _ leaders? well, i can tell you, if there was a _ leaders? well, i can tell you, if there was a labour— leaders? well, i can tell you, if there was a labour politician i there was a labour politician sitting here instead of me, they would probably be saying, right, it's interesting, isn't it? the right—wing, they never like to make much of diversity or gender, but suddenly when they've got some diversity and gender to brag about, boy do they do it. i guess labour would also say they did, but the argument that we may not have had a woman leader or someone from an ethnic minority as a leader, but actually come if you look further down the ranks of our party, you will find plenty of people, plenty of women and plenty of people from ethnic minorities, but i guess if you are stepping back from all of this, you would say, come on, both parties, try not to fall out over this. �* , this. laughter let us - this. laughter let us see - this. laughterl let us see where this. laughter i let us see where it this. laughter - let us see where it goes. this. laughter _ let us see where it goes. thank this. laughter — let us see where it goes. thank you so much forjoining us on outside source. some news and from buckingham palace that the queen has postponed her privy council meeting. palace spokesperson said after a full day yesterday when she met with

liz truss from her majesty has accepted doctor's advice to rest. they to pakistan now and the latest on the flooding there. at one point, a third of the country is under water. more than 1300 people have died. and now officials are now trying to stop its biggest lake from overflowing. this is lake manchar. the satellite pictures show what it looked like injune before the flooding began that's on the left and what it looks like now on the right. our pakistan correspondent pumza filani reports from islamabad. sindh province is still drowning. it has not rained for days, but most of the land remains waterlogged. on the shoreline, the boats are still coming. the dangers of manchar lake have been contained for now, authorities say. its banks were deliberately breached to protect urban areas and what remains of the damaged infrastructure there.

but the threat is not over, and rescue teams are now working on evacuating thousands stranded in their villages. 125,000 people have been affected by the overflow of water. the people whose homes were sacrificed have been left with nothing. translation: my brother just died in my village - because of the water that came. we thought we were going to be able to save him, but we couldn't. around 20 people are still stranded there. some are unconscious, some are just sitting, waiting for help. water levels in pakistan's biggest lake are starting to recede officials have told the the bbc. but as an additional measure, they are enforcing flood dykes in the area. as rescue efforts continue, authorities are also under pressure to rebuild what has been lost. climate change minister sherry rehman told the bbc that pakistan will need international expertise.

we are going to have to do some very important thinking, notjust on our own, but with the climate specialists, really, for infrastructure. key communication lines naturally have to be restored. the railways have to be restored, all of that. so they've already started their reconstruction, and i was thinking because it has to happen, people have to crossover, most of it will not be resilient. we neither have the money nor the technical capacity at this point. building with the future in mind may be a luxury for those whose entire livelihoods have been lost to the floods. for now, those who make it out of these treacherous waters are troubled by uncertainty, where they will sleep and what they will eat. pumza filhani, bbc news, islamabad.

thank you so much for that report. to stay with us here on outside sites. lots more stories to come. see you then. —— outside source. hello there. it's been another day of sunshine and thundery showers, some torrential downpours in places. and the next couple of days look similar. we've got this same area of low pressure sticking close by. so it's going to be sunny spells, thundery showers once again. and nowhere particularly cold, but temperatures will be coming down a little bit, certainly as we move into friday. and that's because our area of low pressure is pushing across the country as it pushes towards the near continent, it'll allow something a bit cooler to move in behind it. but you'll notice, by saturday, we're in between weather systems, a ridge of high pressure, so it should be a little bit drier, but there will be quite a bit of mist and fog around. now, through tonight, we hold on to the showers, again, some of them heavy, thundery across southern areas and across parts of scotland.

some clearer spells through central parts. temperatures 11 to 15 degrees. so, again, nowhere particularly cold because of the breeze and all the cloud and showers around. thursday, similar story, we've got low pressure again towards the south west of the country. that's going to bring fresh breezes, and through the afternoon, the showers will become more widespread, could even see an area of more persistent rain affecting northeast england and eastern scotland. temperatures down a notch, i think 19 to 22 celsius. thursday night, again, it stays unsettled. showery in the south, more persistent rain affecting parts of scotland, northern ireland, perhaps northwest england and north wales. and those temperatures, again, the low to mid teens for many of us. now friday, our area of low pressure will be pushing out into the north sea. so we'll start to see more west—north westerly winds across the country, and gradually things will turn a little bit drier, i think, across the extreme west of the country later on friday.

but it's going to be one of sunny spells and scattered showers once again, even longer spells of rain across more northern areas, again, some of the showers could be heavy and thundery. but you will notice it'll feel fresher. highs of 15 to 20 celsius from north to south across the uk. then into the weekend, like i mentioned, we're in between weather systems, so it will be drier for most, not completely dry, but certainly drier, and we will have some dense mist and fog patches through the morning periods, which could be slow to clear. so saturday, probably the driest of the day, sunday across the east will be dry, but then we'll see this next weather system bringing outbreaks of rain and stronger winds to western areas. temperatures could be a little bit higher on sunday across eastern areas with some sunny spells, but it will start to turn wetter and breezier across the far

west later on sunday.

hello, i'm nuala mcgovern, this is outside source. president putin says russia says the sanctions imposed on russia — following his invasion of ukraine — are the biggest current threat to the world economy. translation: i'm talking about west section fever. forcing others on how to behave, deprive them of their solvent to reinforce them into submission. solvent to reinforce them into submission. here in the uk — liz truss takes part in herfirst prime minister's questions, and says she plans to help people with rising energy costs. ris prime minister will take immediate action to help people with the cost of their energy bills. and

i will be making an announcement to this house on that tomorrow. and we'll talk about extreme weather fuelled by the changing climate, from worsening wildfires in north america and siberia, to severe drought in somalia. let's return to the cost of living crisis — and prime minister liz truss' announcement she'll help people with energy bills tomorrow. it is understood that a typical energy bill could be capped at around £2,500 a year. without that intervention, the average household's energy bill is due to rise to £3,519 in october. but one campaign group, estimates that even with a £2,500 cap, a quarter of uk homes will still be in fuel poverty. that's 6.9 million uk households in fuel poverty this winter. up from 4.6 million households last winter.

let's go to consumer affairs correspondent colletta smith. first, correspondent colletta smith. could you define fue for first, could you define fuel poverty for our viewers? it’s first, could you define fuel poverty for our viewers?— for our viewers? it's a difficult line. for our viewers? it's a difficult line- lots _ for our viewers? it's a difficult line. lots use _ for our viewers? it's a difficult line. lots use different - for our viewers? it's a difficult - line. lots use different definitions of it. the word used here by the anvil poverty campaign is the word that the english government uses so it scotland and wales, have slightly different variations which aft didn't result in a higherfigure or number of people being classed as in fuel poverty. this is on the lower end of this calculation. they use the idea of energy—efficient ge ratings of homes if your home has a d or below and wants households have paid for their energy bills, if they are then classed as in poverty then they are classified as being a home that suffers from fuel poverty. as you say, even if the government sticks to that level that is expected to be announced tomorrow of

two and a half thousand for a typical household bill, then we would see around just under a quarter of uk households falling into that category of fuel poverty. what would that mean for people if they are in a? is what would that mean for people if they are in a?— they are in a? is going to be different _ they are in a? is going to be different for— they are in a? is going to be different for every _ they are in a? is going to be i different for every household. they are in a? is going to be - different for every household. what we're also seeing his particular areas having much higher numbers of homes falling into that category. people are already making choices, cutbacks through the summer months about how much energy they use. but going into autumn and winter when people are turning on the heating more frequently or wanting hot meals more frequently or wanting hot meals more frequently or wanting hot meals more frequently and needing a bath and shower more frequently and keep warm around the household that is going to add a lot more pressure if those households are falling into view pollard for that means they're not going to be able to afford other basic bills. —— fuel poverty. either

they're not keeping up with credit card payments, not able to shop in the way that they would normally. households are already making those choices. there is real pressure on the government to do more than potentiallyjust make the announcements that we're expecting tomorrow from the new prime minister, which is about limiting that price and potentially bringing in more direct are to households who will be struggling the most. if it’s will be struggling the most. if it's possible to _ will be struggling the most. if it's possible to know, _ will be struggling the most. if it's possible to know, what _ will be struggling the most. if it's possible to know, what are - will be struggling the most. if it's possible to know, what are people capping? iiii possible to know, what are people ca- -|n~ ? , possible to know, what are people ca . .|nt ? , . ., �* possible to know, what are people canina? �* possible to know, what are people canina? ,�* ., capping? if they can't pay their are some basic — capping? if they can't pay their are some basic things _ capping? if they can't pay their are some basic things that _ capping? if they can't pay their are some basic things that people - capping? if they can't pay their are i some basic things that people should do straightaway. the first thing is you contact their utility supplier. that provide you with a layer of legal protection that you wouldn't haveif legal protection that you wouldn't have if you just stopped paying. so your supplier can't just have if you just stopped paying. so your supplier can'tjust cut have if you just stopped paying. so your supplier can't just cut you off, if you told them you can afford to pay that they are legally obliged to pay that they are legally obliged

to enter into a payment agreement with you at a level that you can afford. that doesn't mean you get let off any debts or extra payments that you need to make further down the line but they will set a level with you that is manageable within your budget. the first thing to do is even though it's difficult to contact your utility provider and say, i am going to need help here, that's the first thing to do. there are lots of other organisations that do help. there are payments that people can claim potentially from their local authority, even their utility provider. those extra lines of credit and help that individual households can get a hold of him at the moment. admitting and working out your own finances and actually working out if you fall into this category is one of the first things people should try to do just shoot through your finances and see if you will be able to avoid this rise and if not how do you go about getting some help. if not how do you go about getting some hel. ., ~ if not how do you go about getting some hel. . ,, i. if not how do you go about getting some help-— if not how do you go about getting some help. thank you so much for havin: some help. thank you so much for having an outside _ some help. thank you so much for having an outside source. - thank you so much for

having an outside source. it's notjust households — there are warnings tens of thousands of businesses are at risk of going under without government support. here's economics editor faisal islam. everyone's been understandably focused on the energy price as it applies to households. at the bills coming through in terms of energy contract renewalfor coming through in terms of energy contract renewal for small businesses are absolutely staggering. small businesses and large businesses, frankly. and consultancy red flag consultancies suggesting over 25,000 businesses can go bus. when you compare the levels of revenue and cash profits with the sorts of bills that we now expect is a dire situation and the bad news there is that actuallyjobs has been a civil lighting and the economy so far. if they squeezed this much by energy bill so high that we have a problem. we do expect some small businesses to get support in the package tomorrow. where the cat office, we don't know. it's one of the key details were waiting for alongside all the other details when

announced tomorrow. let's stay in the us. and talk about a new report on extremist groups. analysis by the anti—defamation league center on extremism has found. let's remind ourselves what the oath keepers are — as we heard they're a far—right militia group, loosely—knit across the us. largely, they believe the us government has been corrupted by elites. their founder stewart rhodes was charged with seditious conspiracy injanuary for his role in this — the attack on the us capitol by donald trump's supporters, onjanuary 6th. the oathbreakers as a group are accused of playing a key role in this attack.

let's talk to alex friedfeld who worked on the report — he's an investigative researcher with the anti—defamation league's center on extremism. i'm reading there are a lot of people involved in law enforcement, etc. is it possible to know whether they have any meaningful interaction with the oath keepers? unfortunately, not at this point. all we know is that one point these individuals gave money to sign up for the oath keepers. we don't know if they remain oath keepers of the level of their engagement with the group. that said, the oathkeeper have been extreme makes sense 2009. this is a group that is predicated on the idea that the government is actively trying to strip americans of freedom so they can save people. they believe that is of the oathkeeper�*s to stop that from happening. the fact that some point of this message resonated with these individuals over the last three years to the point where they felt

purport to be political groups. for example, the oathkeeper couch everything they say in terms of constitutionality. but that is a trap. they talk about unconstitutional orders from being enacted but really what they are doing, that legal analysis is warped by conspiracy and not mounting any legal basis. usuallyjust represents things they disagree with. yet they use this rhetoric to try and lure people intojoin use this rhetoric to try and lure people into join their cause. use this rhetoric to try and lure people intojoin their cause. and they take advantage of using patriotic or political symbols. co—opting those to spread their message. part of what we're trying to do is not only show again, the full extent that this ideology has been able to permeate society and individuals in key positions that we found inside this database but also lay out just found inside this database but also lay outjust how dangerous the oathkeeper ideology is what this

but when archaeologists went in search of other signs of prehistoric life, they found something unexpected, a human skeleton carefully buried inside a cave with its left foot missing. forensic inspection revealed what researchers say is the first evidence of surgical amputation of a limb, carried out 31,000 years ago, when this person was a child. this is a very clear surgical technique that's been done. it's concrete evidence, in the most extreme and clear way. very advanced surgery would have been required for this child to have survived. and if that's the case, people are sharing knowledge, people are learning and questioning their environment, like scientists do today. a detailed examination concluded that the person — depicted here in an artist's impression — lived for up to nine years after their surgery, dying in their late teens or early 20s. i think our ancestors

were as caring as we are today, and hopefully we will be in the future. i don't think we can underestimate our ancestors. we have this idea that we know it all today. but i think they can teach us a lot about who we are today, and what we might be in the future. the team plan to search this treasure trove of human archaeology to find out what methods and perhaps what stone surgical tools might have made this prehistoric medicalfeat possible. victoria gill, bbc news. this is outside source live from the bbc newsroom. our lead story is... president vladimir putin says russia says the sanctions imposed on russia — following his invasion of ukraine — are the biggest current threat to the world economy. let's stay in the us... where a wildfire continues to burn in southern california. this is the fairview fire,

which started on monday and now covers more than eight—hundred hectares. two people have died and an evacuation order is in place. firefighters say it's burning out of control. we're going to experience in the next 2a hours is in the morning hours some light breezes in the area. but in the afternoon the winds area. but in the afternoon the winds are going to shift and blow the opposite direction. so that could be a big concern forfire opposite direction. so that could be a big concern for fire theatres supposed i wouldn't say we're out of the woods at this time. we have a lot of work to do. we have a lot of work to do. we know wildfires are increasing in frequency — notjust in california — but across the world. scientists are clear — that's driven by climate change. a report by the un environment programme published earlier this year forecast a global increase in "extreme fires" of up to 14% by 2030, and 50% by the end of the century. and now the un has has warned that more frequent and intense wildfires and heatwaves will worsen our air quality. that's from the annual report by the

world meteorological organisation. they looked at the impact of wildfires across siberia and western north america last year and found they produced widespread increases in dangerous particles. now — inhaling that very small particulate matter is a health hazard. the who recommends a maximum exposure of 5 micrograms per meter cube per year. but last summer in north america, that number ranged from from 10 to 20 micrograms. that's two to four times the exposure limit in the span ofjust a few months. let's speak now to doctor lorenzo labrador, he's the coordinator of that report from the world meterological association. great to have you with us. could you explain a little bit why it's getting worse? it’s explain a little bit why it's getting worse?— explain a little bit why it's caettin worse? �*, ., , ., ., explain a little bit why it's ettin worse? �*, ., , ., ., ., getting worse? it's a combination of factors. getting worse? it's a combination of factors the — getting worse? it's a combination of factors. the first _ getting worse? it's a combination of factors. the first thing _ getting worse? it's a combination of factors. the first thing is _ getting worse? it's a combination of factors. the first thing is that - factors. the first thing is that climate change and air quality go hand—in—hand. so when climate change increases there is a deterioration

but that number is only what has been verified and recorded. ...has reached we have 1.5 million children, this is very hard on children underfive and are likely to have acute malnutrition and at the date 355,000 will need treatment for severe acute malnutrition. the camps are congested. numbers have more than doubled in recent weeks for the many arrive here with nothing, having walked for days in search of water and food. the drought has displaced at least1 million people and it's only getting worse. this famine is on our doorstep and were going to be witnessing the death of children on an unimaginable scale of 2022 if we don't act fast. millions of people here rely on their livestock for a living but the animals have been hit hard, numbers have dwindled sharply.

aid agencies say the race is on to save lives and livelihoods. we're doing this through at scale cash distributions putting money into the hands of the most vulnerable so they can buy what they need. and importantly, we're doing it through support to animals. we have to keep the livestock alive. animal treatment, animal fodder, waterfor animals to be able to survive. this is the core part of our famine prevention and response. that's the goal, to prevent famine. but with every passing day without enough resources somalia is inching closer to it. turning to brazil now, where presidentjair bolsonaro brought politics to a military parade marking the country's independence.

he told supporters that opinion polls about his elections area are a lie. opinion polls currently show mr bolsonaro trailing his rival luiz inacio lula da silva by at least ten percentage points. let's go live to our reporter camilla costa. what does today really mean in brazil particularly to the election? bolsonaro today is considered to be for campaign an opportunity to show and gather support. as you say, he still appears luiz inacio lula da silva to be behind former president according to the most recent polls. but today was also to be a civic celebration. bolsonaro the view currently is that has definitely use the celebrations for his political gains, really for his political

campaign. tiptoeing the line between what is legal and what is considered to be in electoral crime in brazil. some actually argue that what he did so far could already be considered a crime since he clearly used the states resources for his political campaign. but that really has to be debated. the day is not over. he only went for the act in brasilia. he still expected to be in rio de janeiro for more celebration. interesting because it comes in the context of... there was a report about gun sales being restricted, also potentially the results maybe not being accepted by mr bolsonaro. is there a fear of violence, what does it feel like in the run—up to the selection? does it feel like in the run-up to the selection?— does it feel like in the run-up to the selection? there is definitely in an inflamed _ the selection? there is definitely in an inflamed rhetoric, - the selection? there is definitely in an inflamed rhetoric, so - the selection? there is definitely in an inflamed rhetoric, so speak not only by bolsonaro but many of his supporters again some members of the supreme court in the electoral

court in brazil. there is a fear of election violence for sure. as you mentioned, recently one of the ministers of the supreme court in brazil has suspended part of a presidential decree that facilitated acquiring guns and ammunition. he said pretty much that the sale of guns increased the risk of electoral violence. this happened on the bolsonaro same day that one of“s son, who is a congressman called on twitter for those who own guns legally to become volunteers for bolsonaro, but what exactly, it is not clear. there is definitely a fear that something could happen. has lula da silva there been any response from?— response from? obviously the opposition _ response from? obviously the opposition to _ response from? obviously the opposition to bolsonaro - response from? obviously the opposition to bolsonaro has . response from? obviously the i opposition to bolsonaro has been saying this kind of rhetoric it means the president is not really fit to keep governing brazil, to keep at the helm of brazil. the

opportunity is trying to frame this as one of the reasons why he should not stay in government. this is in a way feeding the opposition as well. this is the scenery that we have three weeks from the election. but is also part of the larger debate that has been happening all through the campaign and really frankly, in the campaign and really frankly, in the past four years.— the past four years. thank you so much for the _ the past four years. thank you so much for the following _ the past four years. thank you so much for the following result - the past four years. thank you so much for the following result for| much for the following result for us. before we go let's turn to washington, dc for a moment because former president barack obama and michelle obama have returned to the white house for the unveiling of their official portraits. we heard from mr obama... i“m their official portraits. we heard from mr obama. .. i'm especially glad to see so many _ from mr obama. .. i'm especially glad to see so many of _ from mr obama. .. i'm especially glad to see so many of the _ from mr obama. .. i'm especially glad to see so many of the serving - to see so many of the serving president biden as well as you served me. although, now some of you, let's face it, you are a kids back then, you are now in charge and running the show, which is a little shocking. and may also explain some
