there you go, darling. this lunch club in peterborough provides much needed help for people struggling with cost. it's not uncommon that i get to the last two weeks when i waiting for the 15th when i'm going to get paid and i've got barely anything. the basic necessities. i don't get paid until next week and i've literally got £4 of electric left, so i've got to scrabble around because i'm on a prepaid metre. i live on my own, my kids have grown up i'iow. you know, it's hard. the concerns here are repeated across the country and by businesses as well, like this charity which runs children's hospital is in wales. unlike other businesses we don't have a price tag and we can't the price up. our services are free at the point of service to children and families and that's how we want to keep it. the new prime minister says she knows families and businesses are worried and is promising calls a bold plan of action. after weeks of being told what her plan is, this morning she will spell it out to parliament. it is expected she will stop typical household energy bills from going up to £3549 from next

month by lowering the price cap to around £2500. with the £400 rebate announced earlier this year and a possible cut to vat on domestic energy bills, that would mean many households could actually see their bills stay at its current level ofjust under £2000 until at least january. £2000 bills will go a huge way to help a large number of people but for those on very low incomes or who have high energy needs and it might be additional support is needed to get through this winter. the government is also expected to lower and fix energy costs for businesses. it's expected the plan will be funded by borrowing, which could run to more than £100 billion. labour has been calling for household bills to be frozen at their current level since last month but wants to see paid for by a windfall tax on the unexpected profits of oil and gas companies. ceos and cfos of those businesses have said that they have more money that they know what to do with and they are treating this crisis as a cash machine. liz truss has ruled that out.

we are asking those companies to invest those profits in creating new supply. that is absolutely key to the government's plan. a windfall tax would stop that investment and also, as a government, and it might be an ideological difference with the labour party, we do not believe that putting up taxes is a good way of encouraging growth. the government has said it will also set out plans today for long—term solutions to boost how much energy the uk produces. liz truss has previously talked about extracting more oil and gas from the north sea and lifting the fracking ban where a community agrees. others say there should be a focus on energy efficiency. you don't know what household prices are going to do. there's no sign of it coming down to anywhere near normal prices at any time in the coming years, so alongside the price freeze, there has to be a commitment to energy efficiency, domestic energy efficiency, especially in the homes of people least able to afford it themselves. liz truss has been the prime minister for less than 48 hours,

but what she sets out today could have a big impact on the rest of her time in downing street. helen catt, bbc news, westminster. let's speak to our political correspondent, iain watson. there can sometimes be a thing about numbers. you say 100 billion often enough and you get used to the number. these are extraordinary sums of money we are talking about. it is of money we are talking about. it is difficult to get _ of money we are talking about. it is difficult to get your head around the scale — difficult to get your head around the scale of it and what is interesting is notjust a huge cost likely— interesting is notjust a huge cost likely to — interesting is notjust a huge cost likely to be attached to government intervention in the market, but also these _ intervention in the market, but also these ideological and political dividing lines between the parties because _ dividing lines between the parties because clearly if you are going to limit people's typical household bills to — limit people's typical household bills to two and a half thousand pounds — bills to two and a half thousand pounds per year it has to be paid for one _ pounds per year it has to be paid for one way— pounds per year it has to be paid for one way or another, so labour believers— for one way or another, so labour believers and polling suggests they are right, _ believers and polling suggests they are right, that if you see part of

he died in hospital shortly after being arrested and there are conflicting reports on what happened. 0ur province is breathing a collective sigh of relief, as myles sanderson is no longer at large. i can confirm he is no longer a threat and there is no risk to the public related to this investigation. it is just something i cannot speak to that specific manner of death. that will be part of the autopsy that will be conducted. myles sanderson�*s brother, damien sanderson, also a suspect, was found dead early in the week. how that happened is unknown. people across the province have been on edge for days. their grief has been made worse by fear and frustration, because myles sanderson, a man with a long criminal history, had not been found. people were being urged to stay indoors and keep safe as a priority. families of those killed in the stabbings have been talking about their profound loss. bonnie burns was from the james smith cree nation where most of the victims were found. right outside of her

home, she was killed... ..by senseless acts. her son, she was protecting her son. she was protecting these three little boys. this is why she is a hero. she is a true matriarch. herson, gregory, described as a great kid, was also killed. indigenous groups say the healing process can now begin. however, with both sanderson brothers dead it is unlikely their motives will ever be known. nomia joins us now from melfort in saskatchewan. nomia, this has been a huge story in canada and around the world — what's the reaction been there to these latest developments?

good morning. there is a real sense of relief here in the community following the conclusion of this manhunt. people have been in a real sense of turmoil in the past few days because these things never really happen in these remote communities but it also doesn't happen in the whole of canada. for the last few days we have been getting these piercing mobile phone alerts that basically tell us of the sightings of sanderson. 0ne alerts that basically tell us of the sightings of sanderson. one minute he is in this part of the province, the next minute he's here, so people have been staying indoors and have been warned to stay indoors even by the canadian prime minister, justin trudeau, to keep safe and now that this has been concluded people can feel that they can mourn properly, that they can fully grieve without any fear. of course, there are questions being asked about what happened to myles sanderson and how he met his death. the police are asked that question and they do not answer it because they are in the middle of investigating and there will be a postmortem to determine

exactly how he died, but as i say, there is a great sense of relief that finally there is some conclusion to this manhunt that has happened and to these stabbings that occurred a few days ago which has left the community in a real state of trauma. left the community in a real state of trauma-— left the community in a real state of trauma. , . ., , , ., ~ left the community in a real state oftrauma. , . , ., ~ of trauma. understandably. thank you ve much. the police watchdog says no gun was found in the car of a man who was fatally shot by armed officers after a chase in south london. the family of chris kaba, who was 2a and a rapper, have called for a full murder investigation into his death earlier this week in streatham hill. the independent office for police conduct is examining what happened. around 115,000 workers at royal mail are walking out again for 48 hours in a continuing dispute over pay and conditions. the communication workers union is unhappy about a 2 percent wage increase it claims was "imposed" on its members. royal mail says the union

rejected an offer worth up to 5.5%. more strike action is also expected in three weeks time. the queen has postponed an online meeting of senior ministers after being advised to rest by doctors. buckingham palace said that after "a full day" on tuesday, in which she appointed liz truss as the new prime minister, the monarch had accepted the medics' advice. the 96—year—old has recently suffered with mobility issues. it's the first full day at their new school today for prince george, princess charlotte and prince louis — after the family's move to windsor from kensington palace. yesterday the children and their parents — the duke and duchess of cambridge — spent an afternoon meeting staff and new pupils. 0ur royal correspondent, daniela relph, has the story. that first day at a new school, a nervous time for prince george, prince louis and princess charlotte, and probably for mum and dad, too.

this was settling—in afternoon at lambrook in berkshire, designed for all children and parents new to the school. a chance to meet teachers, classmates and other new families. but first came head teacher, jonathan perry. welcome, george. welcome to lambrook play, louis. welcome. and welcome, charlotte. lovely to have you with us. we're very excited. dressed in the school's summer uniform, it was then into class for the cambridges. the duke said the children had lots of questions. after today, school life here will be away from the public gaze. allowing cameras in briefly as a way of managing the public and media interest in the family, it's now hoped the children will be left alone to settle in to their new school. lambrook sits in 52 acres of berkshire countryside. it has a nine—hole golf course, a swimming pool, and bees, chickens and pigs for people to look after. it will be a privileged education.

school fees for all three children will be around £55,000 a year. marking the first day of school has become a royal rite of passage. it was diana, princess of wales, who took william to his first day at prep school in 1987. and this wouldn't happen now in a more ca refully—managed media landscape. dozens of cameras and journalists were there for william's first day at eton with his parents. the media were even allowed to record his first walk to lessons. these milestones are still noted, but royal children are no longer as exposed on these significant days. these pictures were filmed byjust one television camera and one photographer and then shared with other media organisations. it is a way of protecting the children as they start

at a school that says it aims to create happy and thoughtful young adults who are global citizens. daniela ralph, bbc news, lambrook school in berkshire. it is exactly 615. do you remember? what? don't — it is exactly 615. do you remember? what? don't look _ it is exactly 615. do you remember? what? don't look at _ it is exactly 615. do you remember? what? don't look at me _ it is exactly 615. do you remember? what? don't look at me like - it is exactly 615. do you remember? what? don't look at me like that. i what? don't look at me like that. you have to _ what? don't look at me like that. you have to say _ what? don't look at me like that. you have to say something - what? don't look at me like that. you have to say something else. | what? don't look at me like that. i you have to say something else. do ou you have to say something else. drr you rememberyour you have to say something else. drr you remember your first day at school? ., �* ., , school? no, if i'm honest. i can remember— school? no, if i'm honest. i can remember being _ school? no, if i'm honest. i can remember being at _ school? no, if i'm honest. i can remember being at school, - school? no, if i'm honest. i can remember being at school, but| school? no, if i'm honest. i can| remember being at school, but i don't remember day one. i remember being at school, but i don't remember day one. i don't think i remember— don't remember day one. i don't think i remember day _ don't remember day one. i don't think i remember day one. - don't remember day one. i don't think i remember day one. i - don't remember day one. i don't - think i remember day one. i remember early days but not day one. it was a long time ago. matt, good morning. do you? iremember it i remember it vividly and i remember playing _ i remember it vividly and i remember playing with — i remember it vividly and i remember playing with the plastic blocks you put together. playing with the plastic blocks you put together-— playing with the plastic blocks you put together.- no. - playing with the plastic blocks you put together. lego? no. little individual blocks. _ put together. lego? no. little individual blocks. stickle - put together. lego? no. little l individual blocks. stickle bricks? put together. lego? no. little . individual blocks. stickle bricks? i was thinking _ individual blocks. stickle bricks? i was thinking stickle _ individual blocks. stickle bricks? i

0ne dry day out of two. not bad. there's a call this morning for more police action to deal with reports of violence against women and girls, following a series of high—profile murders. police and crime commissioners in england and wales have acknowledged that extra support is necessary, after a report highlighted how different forces have dealt with the issue over the last year. the review looked at cases such as the killing of sarah everard by a serving police officer who was jailed in september last year. our home affairs correspondent, june kelly, reports. police officers lauren bach and faye holgate on their way to check on women in bradford who've been the victims of domestic abuse. straight at the lights or is it right? these are regular calls. the men responsible are banned from making contact with their victims. they are subject to domestic violence protection orders or dvpos. the subject of this dvpo has got two weapons markers, one for a large knife and one for a knuckleduster. the abuse has happened while she's

been holding the baby. there wasn't a prosecution. so they've put the dvpo in place. the officers go into the house to make sure the abuser is not inside in breach of his order. everything been 0k? these visits are part of west yorkshire police's strategy to tackle violence against women and girls. come on, then, we're going to come in and look around your house. all good. she says she hasn't had any contact from him, so it seems like dvpo is working well at the minute. yeah. sarah, and this is a pseudonym, told us how she had to be persuaded to report her violent abuser to the police. he was prosecuted and jailed. she describes how officers are helping her with her security because he's now served his sentence and is out of prison. i've got alarms on all my doors. i've got letterbox locks and i've got the smartwater.

smartwater is a forensic liquid which shows up under ultraviolet light. sarah knows that if she sprays it on her abuser, it will stay on his skin and clothing for weeks. ijust know that i can spray that at him before he has a chance to even think about running off. with that being high risk i'm going to look to you, joe... this meeting is about managing domestic abuse offenders and supporting their victims. i'll come to you, tony, because you've had some update with this. again, i've not spoken - to the victim, which is his mum. consolidating all these crime types together under, if you like, the heading of violence against women and girls, it is bringing an emphasis now that i've not seen, to be honest, within 26 years of policing. we need people to tell us about stuff. forces across england and wales were told to produce action plans after the police watchdog accused them of failing women and girls. i don't think there's any lighting on this side that i can see that's obvious.

in london, inspector becky perkins is out on one of the metropolitan police's regular walk and talks with local resident kathleen erlich, who's raised concerns about street safety. it's about sending a message out to perpetrators that, you know, they're the people that we're going to get. that's our concern. it's not asking women, no, you can't go out, you can't do this. having regular patrols and actually seeing officers here in the neighbourhood is something everyone would really like. while police chiefs believe they are making progress, they acknowledge there is still a lot of work to do and they are stressing that the police alone cannot deal with the issue of violence against women and girls. june kelly, bbc news. let's have a look at today's papers. most of the front pages focus on the new prime minister's plans to deal with the rising cost of energy. the times says liz truss will announce a £150 billion package to freeze

energy bills for up to two yea rs. "about time" says the mirror. the paper reports that the new prime minister has "given in to demands" for an energy bills freeze. previewing her speech, the daily telegraph reports that ms truss will say britons must "never again be forced to pay exorbitant energy bills". and the sun dedicates its lead story to the royals, under the headline "the three aaahs". it pictures the duke and duchess of cambridge smiling, hand—in—hand with their children on the way to school. i will give you a little history lesson, 0k? i will give you a little history lesson, ok? i i will give you a little history lesson, 0k? iwill take i will give you a little history lesson, ok? i will take you i will give you a little history lesson, 0k? iwill take you back. here is a question. how big do you think an altar is? by, here is a question. how big do you think an altar is?— think an altar is? a standard size answer? they — think an altar is? a standard size answer? they are _ think an altar is? a standard size answer? they are surprisingly i think an altar is? a standard size | answer? they are surprisingly big but i would say, body or tail? body,

they were once brothers in arms, comrades serving in the same army unit. now, as well as still being friends, they're also client and tattoo artist. come and take a seat. do you feel like a sense of panic with the big wide world setting in? yeah, oh, massively, a sense of panic. scott was discharged from the army with a medical condition after serving 23 years. he says adapting to civilian life was tough. i massively struggled when i first left the army and joined civvy street. so i was diagnosed with adjustment disorder. you get tired being angry all the time. not angry as in physical, but angry at the world for who knows what. the veterans charity help the heroes today publishes research that says one in three former members of the armed forces have had suicidal thoughts.

aaron says the number could have been higher. we're very good at hiding what we're thinking when we want to. having gone through that process as well of therapy, every session you fill out a form. you don't need to tell the truth on that form unless you want to. so from my experience, i wanted my career to continue, so i'm not going to tick the suicide box. we need to understand that it's - a preventable and avoidable death. help the heroes wants to raise awareness of suicide prevention. there's a free course on its website aimed at tattooists, who the charity feels may be able to reach out to their clients while they're being worked on. the trust issue is massively important when getting tattooed. obviously, it's something that's going to be on your body for the rest of your life, so you need to trust the tattoo artist who's actually working on you.

aaron was diagnosed with ptsd but traces his mental health issues back to life before hejoined up. his client base now includes many people with military backgrounds attracted by his designs. as a veteran with 22 years' service, he has that understanding of how former military people think, talk and relate to their new lives outside the forces. i'm not the most outgoing of people, but when we're here, it's so easy to talk and you canjust vent. it's a safe space, it really is. and, you know, we all understand the dark humour, sarcasm. and when you can speak to someone on the same level as you, you tend to want to gravitate towards that. this is such a personal and sometimes intimate process, which can lead to conversations about life and may ultimately save a life. john maguire, bbc

news, chesterfield. we will be talking about that later this morning after half past seven so we will find out more about what sounds a good scheme. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. hello, good morning, this is bbc london, i'm frankie mccamley. the police watchdog has said they didn't find what they call a non—police issue gun in the area or in the car where a 24—year—old man was fatally shot by police in streatham on monday. chris kaba died after a police car chase. the 24—year—old's family has claimed the shooting was "totally racist and criminal". the independent office for police conduct says mr kaba's car was stopped after an automatic number plate recognition camera indicated the vehicle was linked to a firearms incident a few days earlier. a terminally ill mother from east

london says she must chose between paying for a funeral and heating her home. kelly casey, from hackney, was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumour in 2015. she says she's seen her energy bills rise 80% to more than £3,500. it is hard. it's hard to think that i even have to sit down and think about that rubbish, with what else rubbish is going through my head right now. but in terms of priorities, it's not mine. i need to guess, i need heating. i need gas, i need heating. if i'm alive after november, we'll talk about the bill. energy costs are a real concern for many people. on our progamme tonight at 6.30 we'll be speaking to an expert in how to potentially reduce your costs. do get in touch with any questions. chelsea football club are set to hold talks with brighton boss graham potter about replacing the sacked blues manager thomas tuchel. the ex—swansea coach has been given permission by the seagulls to talk with chelsea.

tuchel was dismissed after losing the confidence of players and the new ownership. now let's take a look at what going on on tfl services this morning. there's just minor delays on the circle line. now the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. it was another mild and quite thundery night for some last night, plenty of thunderstorms. this is one captured out in watford from weather watcher watford weather. for this morning, we have got further showers. it's a bit misty in one or two spots as those showers last night cleared. however more showers feeding up from the south. again, could be quite breezy for a time, but through the afternoon a bit lighter so those showers are little more slow—moving. temperatures, 20 or 21 celsius. some sunny spells between those showers but again we could get some rumbles of thunder. 0vernight tonight, those showers will gradually clear. again the risk of some mist and fog forming. as we head through tomorrow, you can see the low pressure just starts to move eastwards. the windfalls a bit lighter, mist and fog clearing in the morning.

we will see further showers through the course of friday. perhaps a little bit drier by the end of the day. but if you get the showers on friday, they are going to be slower to get out of the way, that wind a little lighter. temperatures tomorrow at 20 celsius. as we head into the weekend, that low pressure drifts east. we are dragging in warmer air from the south so temperatures getting a little warmer and it should be a little drier. still the risk of a shower on saturday. that's it from me, i'm back in half an hour. enjoy your morning. hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. coming up on breakfast this morning. 300 years after they were hunted to near extinction, golden eagles are once again soaring the skies over southern scotland. find out about the conservation project that made it possible just before seven. you find yourself struggling

we are expecting the announcement at 11am, there are lots of figures being bandied about about how much this will cost and who is going to pay it back, that is not out yet. it's not out yet, this is all what we have been led to believe, what we think might happen. it is all expected. imagine taking 400 litres of alcohol and boiling it in that still there, and that uses a lot of energy to make routine that they make it in newcastle. as to the fridge is in this bar, the lights which are switched on all night. and at the moment businesses like this are not covered by an energy price cap and some have seen their costs double or treble when they have had to renegotiate new contracts. we don't know exactly what help to expect for businesses but there is thought there could be a reduction in the amount they pay per unit of energy. there has been a lot more focus on household energy bills

where it is expected that the government will cap the unit rate so that the typical household energy bill will be limited to £2500. if they go ahead with that, £500 higher than now, but it had been expected to go as high as £3500 from next month. how could they do that? it is thought there could be a pot of money that the energy suppliers, the people who deliver the bill to your door back, they would be able to take money from the government so that they can still afford to pay the high gas wholesale costs to the companies like bp and shell who are producing and selling it on. we don't know how long the support could go on for, it could cost the government as much as 100 billion or even more, that is a very uncertain figure. it's expected that it might be paid for by borrowing. i have

been hearing from people in and around newcastle in the last few days about what they think of the plants we have been hearing so far. as a new wave of policies to tackle the energy crisis sweeps into view, people in whitley bay are on the lookout for a permanent solution to the surge in their bills. the concern is for me sons, because they work hard and now when their bills are going up and up, it frightens you. we've just come off a fixed price tariff and i'm waiting for my first monthly bill to see what the difference is. obviously, we're trying to be very cautious with what we use in the house, trying to do things a little bit differently. do you welcome the idea of energy bills being frozen or limited to some extent this winter? well, frozen, but we are going to be paying for them in the long term. what do you think the government should announce? what would you like to see? i would like to see them put a tax on the energy companies instead | of putting the burden back on the taxpayer. - at this fish and chip shop, its business that's

being battered by rising costs. with no cap on their energy bill, it's set to double in a couple of months' time. we've been told the prices i'm paying at the minute are roughly around about £18,000 per year. they're going up to around about £36—38,000. it's the cheapest quotes that i can find. the prices being quoted arejust ridiculous at the minute. what does that mean for you as a business if they go up like that? if they go up like that it's going to be a case of people having unfortunately be made redundant. what would you like to hear from the government? we need support and notjust till january or february, but for the coming year and a half, two years. at this food bank in newcastle, the demand for help has been rising for months. stephen had no choice but to walk for nearly an hour to get here today. he tells advisors he had to retire due to ill health after 49 years of work. i went three, four days with nothing to eat.

it was two crisp sandwiches a day. he said, "you can't live on that." you were living on two crisp sandwiches a day? and staff here say they're seeing more working families in need of support. even if the government decided to freeze the prices where they are right now, even if we didn't have the october rise, do you think a lot of the people you see, would they still be struggling? yeah, because the prices are already unaffordable for all of our clients at the minute. come the winter, even if the cap doesn't rise, the amount that they are spending on fuel is still going to rise because not everyone's paying on a pro rata direct debit. people have got key and card makers and they're paying for what they use. and that's only going to go through the roof as it gets colder. i think probably there's going to be a lot more deaths this winterjust based on the fact that people aren't going to be able to nourish themselves properly, they're not going to have a substantial diet, and they're not going to be able to heat their homes to a degree that keeps them warm. as people here wait for what they expect is going to be a difficult winter ahead,

they're looking to the government to stem their anxiety and the tide of rising bills. iamjoint by i am joint by ollie, the director here. good morning, what would you like to hear from here. good morning, what would you like to hearfrom liz here. good morning, what would you like to hear from liz truss today? the most important thing is that our customers, fraught retail and hospitality, have money in their pocket. we have got to look after houses first and foremost, keep the economy running that way, and then we can get some help with costs. that would help with costs of goods coming in. so some support for housesis coming in. so some support for houses is very important and if we can get some as well, that would be welcomed. ., ., ., , ., welcomed. you have a number of properties _ welcomed. you have a number of properties across _ welcomed. you have a number of properties across newcastle, - welcomed. you have a number of| properties across newcastle, what are people who run the businesses there telling you? taste are people who run the businesses there telling you?— there telling you? we have electricity _ there telling you? we have electricity bills _ there telling you? we have electricity bills which - there telling you? we have

last season liverpool won all their group games in the champions league. this couldn't have felt more different, thrashed 4—1 by napoli in their opening match. it was a bad night too for rangers, also conceding four on their return to this stage amongst europe's elite, but there was some british success thanks to tottenham. 0ur sports correspondent andy swiss rounds up the action. liverpool's champions league campaign began in naples and in utter calamity. handball byjames milner, penalty to napoli, which piotr zielinski coolly converted. and with barely 15 minutes gone, another penalty after a foul by virgil van dijk. and while this time goalkeeper allison came to liverpool's rescue, it proved only the briefest of reprieves. andre—frank zambo anguissa making it 2—0 before on the brink of half—time, guess what? liverpool can't defend it, 3—0. napoli were in dreamland. liverpool were in tatters. surely it couldn't get any worse? oh, yes, it could. zielinski with number four,

much to the home fans' glee. and while luis diaz pulled one back, it was scant consolation. a 4—1 defeat for liverpool. juergen klopp's poor start to the season just got a whole lot worse. tottenham, meanwhile, were up against marseille and after the french side had a man sent off, spurs grabbed their chance. two late headers from richarlison giving spurs a 2—0 victory. at rangers, well, after 12 years away, their return to the champions league group stage proved a painful one. that is absolutely sensational. mohammed kudus's goal the highlight of the 4—0 win for ajax. after such a long wait for rangers, a long night. andy swiss, bbc news. so a night of mixed emotions for the british teams in the champions league and a night to forget for rangers and liverpool. forjurgen klopp's side, the defeat continues their worrying start to the season. they've only won twice in their first seven games so far. it's not like we have to reinvent a new kind of football. we always try to improve but in this

moment obviously everybody would be happy if we just could play similar stuff to what we used to play, let me say it like this. and tonight that was the, the least compact performance i saw for a long, long time. chelsea will continue their search for a new manager today with graham potter leading the race to replace thomas tuchel. the up and coming english manager is currently at brighton who sit fourth in the table, afterjust one defeat in their opening six matches. brighton have given potter permission to talk to chelsea about the vacancy. nowjust over a month after winning the women's euros, one of the key members of that squad has become the world's most expensive female footballer. midfielder keira walsh has joined barcelona in a record deal from manchester city in a fee of around £400,000. that breaks the previous record for a female player set by chelsea, who paid more than £250,000 for pernille harder in 2020.

there might be a bit of tension at wentworth today as golf�*s pga championship gets underway. the tournament will see a range of players competing, including those who've joined the controversial saudi—funded liv series. rory mcilroy has been very critical of the rebel tour and admits his relationship with a number of his ryder cup teammates has been affected following their decision tojoin liv. it is what it is, they're here, they're playing the golf tournament. my opinion is they shouldn't be here but again, that's just my opinion. but, you know, we are all going to tee it up on the first tee tomorrow, we're going to go play 72 holes. which is a novelty for them at this point. and then on we go from there. that is a glimpse at the divide of this has caused in golf. you can imagine the atmosphere at the club has for the ryder cup, european tour

irish sea and into wales. thoroughly wet across eastern scotland overnight, thundery to the south—east of england around the channel coasts. tonight it will not be particularly chilly, temperatures generally 11 to 14 degrees. the low pressure that has been with us for some time is still with us on friday but nudging easter come on the northern edge there is a weather front sitting in place across eastern scotland through the day. a murky and wet day, cool in a strong breeze. scotland, northern ireland and northern england, a few mist and fog patches. it will brighten up during the day, but keep an eye out for stubborn storms. and feeling cooler in a north—westerly breeze. the breeze eases into the weekend and things will turn quieter, some outbreaks of rain on the east coast to begin with, lighter showers around, a misty and foggy start on saturday, more of you will dry and it will feel present to the

sunshine. 17 to 22 degrees. into sunday, we will see a ridge of high pressure. saturday night into sunday, extensive mist and fog. we are watching these weather fronts, strengthening breeze across western areas across sunday, outbreaks of rain developing. elsewhere, many places dry with sunshine and with the south and south—easterly wind it will feel warmer again, 2425 in the south. it will be a bit quieter weather—wise this weekend. thank you. there's yet more strike action getting under way this morning. 115,000 royal mail workers are walking out today and tomorrow in a row over pay and conditions. this latest disruption follows a two—day strike by the communication workers union at the end of last month. and it has now been announced that there will be further stoppage on the 30th of september and the 1st of october. so what's behind it? the cwu says its members are angry at what they say is an "imposed" 2% pay rise.

royal mail claim the union rejected an offer worth up to 5.5%. royal mail warns that letters won't be delivered and some parcels will be delayed over the next two days but post offices will remain open as they are separate entities. we're joined now by royal mail's operations director, ricky mcaulay. good morning to you, thank you for your time this morning. could you give us a sense of how the mail service will be affected by this strike and the upcoming strikes? good morning, charlie. we have got a contingency operation in place so during the days of industrial action, the lead up to industrial action, the lead up to industrial action, we are encouraging customers to post early, many have been doing that. on the day of the industrial action we are getting priority passes through, things like covid test kits, most essential items, on our network. and we are recovering

quickly. if you look at the first two days of industrial action, our network recovered very quickly down to the contingency plans, and the additional resources we put in place so we can recover as quickly as we can for customers. this is not helping resolve the dispute. strike action makes resolving the dispute more difficult. royal mail's customers have got choices. that is why we tabled the 5.5% pay offer at a very early stage, something that employees could be benefiting from now if the cmb —— if the cw you had engaged seriously in the need for royal mail to change. 50. engaged seriously in the need for royal mail to change.— engaged seriously in the need for royal mail to change. so, 5.5 was an offer that was _ royal mail to change. so, 5.5 was an offer that was made, _ offer that was made, straightforward, is that correct? the offer was dependent on royal mail modernising, so there was some changing aspects to that, that was about royal mail being relevant to customers in the parcel market in

particular. so what customers expect from royal mail today is what the market of his which is a seven—day parcel network, late in the evening, and larger parcels for next day delivery. there were conditions on the 5.5% linked to change and given the 5.5% linked to change and given the trading position of royal mail in the first quarter was losing 1 million a day, we believed it was trying to help colleagues with the cost of living crisis but also making sure that royal mail could offer a long—term job security for all employees are. you offer a long-term job security for all employees are.— all employees are. you say that ro al all employees are. you say that royal mail _ all employees are. you say that royal mail is — all employees are. you say that royal mail is losing _ all employees are. you say that royal mail is losing £1 - all employees are. you say that royal mail is losing £1 million i all employees are. you say that royal mail is losing £1 million a| royal mail is losing £1 million a day as i understand it. our royal mail bosses getting profit bonuses at the moment? i mail bosses getting profit bonuses at the moment?— mail bosses getting profit bonuses at the moment? i think some of the cwu rhetoric _ at the moment? i think some of the cwu rhetoric around _ at the moment? i think some of the cwu rhetoric around this _ at the moment? i think some of the cwu rhetoric around this is - at the moment? i think some of the cwu rhetoric around this is about i cwu rhetoric around this is about the dividends that were paid in january. those dividends were paid because during the pandemic period, there were no dividends paid and we

this is bbc london, i'm frankie mccamley. the police watchdog has said they didn't find what they call a non—police issue gun in the area or in the car where a 24—year—old man was fatally shot by police in streatham on monday. chris kaba died after a police car chase. the 24—year—old's family has claimed the shooting was "totally racist and criminal". the independent office for police conduct says mr kaba's car was stopped after an automatic number plate recognition camera indicated the vehicle was linked to a firearms incident a few days earlier. a terminally ill mother from east london says she must chose between paying for a funeral and heating her home. kelly casey, from hackney, was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumour in 2015. she says she's seen her energy bills rise 80% to more than £3,500. it is hard. it's hard to think that

i even have to sit down and think about that rubbish, with what else rubbish is going through my head right now. but in terms of priorities, it's not mine. i need gas, i need heating. if i'm alive after november, we'll talk about the bill. energy costs are a real concern for many people. on our progamme tonight at 6.30 we'll be speaking to an expert in how to potentially reduce your costs. do get in touch with any questions. chelsea football club are set to hold talks with brighton boss graham potter about replacing the sacked blues manager thomas tuchel. the ex—swansea coach has been given permission by the seagulls to talk with chelsea. tuchel was dismissed after losing the confidence of players and the new ownership. now let's take a look at what going on on tfl services this morning. it looks like there is a good service all round.

now the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. it was another mild and quite thundery night for some last night, plenty of thunderstorms. this is one captured out in watford from weather watcher watford weather. for this morning, we have got further showers. it's a bit misty in one or two spots as those showers last night cleared. however more showers feeding up from the south. again, could be quite breezy for a time, but through the afternoon a bit lighter so those showers are little more slow—moving. temperatures, 20 or 21 celsius. some sunny spells between those showers but again we could get some rumbles of thunder. 0vernight tonight, those showers will gradually clear. again the risk of some mist and fog forming. as we head through tomorrow, you can see the low pressure just starts to move eastwards. the windfalls a bit lighter, mist and fog clearing in the morning. we will see further showers through the course of friday. perhaps a little bit drier by the end of the day. but if you get the showers on friday, they are going to be slower to get out of the way, that wind a little lighter. temperatures tomorrow at 20 celsius. as we head into the weekend, that low pressure drifts east.

we are dragging in warmer air from the south so temperatures getting a little warmer and it should be a little drier. still the risk of a shower on saturday. that's it from me, i'm back in half an hour. enjoy your morning. good morning, and welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. 0ur headlines today: the new prime minister's plan to tackle soaring energy costs. liz truss will set out measures to limit price rises for millions of households and businesses what could it all mean for businesses like this? good morning from newcastle where i've been hearing — from newcastle where i've been hearing what people want the new prime _ hearing what people want the new prime minister to prioritise. a man suspected of killing 10 people in a mass stabbing in canada has died in police custody after he was arrested. another day of looking out for the

big looming clouds. thunderstorms in the forecast today and i will take you through the details. doing the royal �*school run�*. the duke and duchess of cambridge help their children settle in on the first day of term. it�*s thursday the 8th of september. our main story. new prime minister liz truss will this morning unveil her plans to tackle soaring energy costs. under the proposals, typical household energy bills could be capped at around £2,500 pounds a year, with businesses also in line for help. it�*s expected to be funded by £100—billion of government borrowing — as our political correspondent, helen catt, reports. there you go, darling. this lunch club in peterborough provides much needed help for people struggling with costs. it�*s not uncommon that i get to the last two weeks when i�*m waiting for the 15th when i�*m going to get paid and i�*ve got barely anything

for basic necessities. i don't get paid until next week and i've literally got £4 of electric left, so i've got to scrabble around because i'm on a prepaid metre. i live on my own, my kids have grown up now. you know, it's hard. the concerns here are repeated across the country and by businesses as well, like this charity which runs children�*s hospital is in wales. unlike other businesses we don�*t have a price tag and we can�*t the price up. our services are free at the point of service to children and families and that�*s how we want to keep it. the new prime minister says she knows families and businesses are worried and is promising what number 10 calls a bold plan of action. after weeks of being asked what her plan is, this morning she will spell it out to parliament. it is expected she will stop typical household energy bills from going up to £3,549 from next month by lowering the price cap to around £2,500. with the £400 rebate announced earlier this year and a possible cut to vat on domestic energy bills, that would mean many households could actually see their bills stay at its current level ofjust under

£2000 until at least january. £2000 bills will go a huge way to help a large number of people but for those on very low incomes or who have high energy needs it might be additional support is needed to get through this winter. the government is also expected to lower and fix energy costs for businesses. it�*s expected the plan will be funded by borrowing, which could run to more than £100 billion. labour has been calling for household bills to be frozen at their current level since last month but wants to see paid for by a windfall tax on the unexpected profits of oil and gas companies. ce05 and cf05 of those businesses have said that they have more money that they know what to do with and they are treating this crisis as a cash machine. liz truss has ruled that out. we are asking those companies to invest those profits in creating new supply. that is absolutely key to the government's plan. a windfall tax would stop that investment and also,

as a government, and it may be an ideological difference with the labour party, we do not believe that putting up taxes is a good way of encouraging growth. the government has said it will also set out plans today for long—term solutions to boost how much energy the uk produces. liz truss has previously talked about extracting more oil and gas from the north sea and lifting the fracking ban where a community agrees. others say there should be a focus on energy efficiency. you don�*t know what household prices are going to do. there�*s no sign of it coming down to anywhere near normal prices at any time in the coming years, so alongside the price freeze, there has to be a commitment to energy efficiency, domestic energy efficiency, especially in the homes of people least able to afford it themselves. liz truss has been the prime minister for less than 48 hours, but what she sets out today could have a big impact on the rest of her time in downing street. helen catt, bbc news, westminster. let�*s get labour�*s view now — we�*re joined from westminster by ed miliband, the shadow climate

and net zero secretary. good morning and thank you for your time. , :, , , :, �* :, time. obviously we don't have the exact details _ time. obviously we don't have the exact details of _ time. obviously we don't have the exact details of the _ time. obviously we don't have the | exact details of the announcement and we have some understanding of the announcement and what may be put forward today and we will understand that at 11 o�*clock. what do you think, what is your opinion of what you have heard so far? the think, what is your opinion of what you have heard so far?— think, what is your opinion of what you have heard so far? the first and most important _ you have heard so far? the first and most important thing _ you have heard so far? the first and most important thing is _ you have heard so far? the first and most important thing is we - you have heard so far? the first and most important thing is we need - you have heard so far? the first and most important thing is we need a i most important thing is we need a freeze. this is what the labour party called for in august. the reason is that families and businesses are facing a terrible crisis. we heard that on your report that goes along way of the income scale. i know from businesses on my own constituency how difficult they are finding things as well so liz truss was very dismissive of a freeze when we announced it and if thatis freeze when we announced it and if that is what she is going to announce and it really is a freeze, i welcome that, but there is a

crucial question about who pays, because we know from the treasury that there are £170 billion of excess profits being made by the energy companies. we believe that a windfall tax must be part of the solution to that. that is the fair thing to do and the right thing to do and i�*m afraid that liz truss is making a terrible mistake by setting her face against that, because in the end, higher borrowing will have to be paid for somehow and it will end up falling back on the british people and she is leaving money on the table that these companies are making. the table that these companies are makin. ~ :, the table that these companies are makin. 9 :, :, i. the table that these companies are makini. 9 :, :, i. :, the table that these companies are makini.~ :, :, :, _ the table that these companies are makini_ :, :, .y : ,, making. what do you mean by excess irofits? making. what do you mean by excess profits? what — making. what do you mean by excess profits? what is _ making. what do you mean by excess profits? what is acceptable _ making. what do you mean by excess profits? what is acceptable profit - profits? what is acceptable profit to you? profits? what is acceptable profit to ou? :, ,:, , : , , to you? the reason i use excess irofits to you? the reason i use excess profits and — to you? the reason i use excess profits and the _ to you? the reason i use excess profits and the treasury - to you? the reason i use excess profits and the treasury have i to you? the reason i use excess i profits and the treasury have done calculations on this is because the companies were not expecting the kinds of prices we are seeing, which are multiple, six or seven or eight times more than they were expecting.

yes, companies making a profit is a good thing, and yes, investment is a good thing, and yes, investment is a good thing, and yes, investment is a good thing but these are unexpected, unearned profits and i want to make this point about what would happen if this windfall, a windfall tax at the levels we are talking about happen. the chief executive of bp, one of the company�*s making those billions, said it would have no effect on their investments. this investment argument is, i�*m afraid, a bogus argument. it is ideology thatis a bogus argument. it is ideology that is prevailing and it is the wrong ideology. 50 that is prevailing and it is the wrong ideology.— that is prevailing and it is the mom ideoloi . :, :, wrong ideology. so when you want to iursue a wrong ideology. so when you want to pursue a windfall _ wrong ideology. so when you want to pursue a windfall tax, _ wrong ideology. so when you want to pursue a windfall tax, and _ wrong ideology. so when you want to pursue a windfall tax, and it - pursue a windfall tax, and it obviously has already been agreed for earlier this year, but liz truss as you alluded to said she is not keen for the policy to continue, how much would you generate or would be generated from a windfall tax, in relation to what this may cost and what this freeze or this cap which will result in a lower typical

the tax is set, but the most important thing here is the principal stop the principle is this, do you leave this money on the table? the money we are paying that is going to these companies that they were not expecting, or do you say they should make a fair contribution? taste say they should make a fair contribution?— say they should make a fair contribution? 9 :, :, :, contribution? we have gone through the windfall tax. _ contribution? we have gone through the windfall tax. how _ contribution? we have gone through the windfall tax. how much - contribution? we have gone through the windfall tax. how much is - the windfall tax. how much is acceptable for us to pay back then? 0ver acceptable for us to pay back then? over time. you are saying that this will make a dent, the windfall tax will make a dent, the windfall tax will make a dent. but how much is acceptable for us to pay back over ten or 20 years? the acceptable for us to pay back over ten or 20 years?— ten or 20 years? the point about this is we want to _ ten or 20 years? the point about this is we want to raise as much | ten or 20 years? the point about i this is we want to raise as much as possible from the windfall tax and we accept that giving the emergency that we face it is fair and 0k to do this. it�*s not the first port of call to do the rest of it through government borrowing. i�*m not saying thatis

government borrowing. i�*m not saying that is the wrong thing to do but what i am saying is to fund it entirely through government borrowing and not tax these excess profits is not right and will land us with a much bigger bill than we would otherwise have. ibire us with a much bigger bill than we would otherwise have.— would otherwise have. are you satisfied that _ would otherwise have. are you satisfied that this _ would otherwise have. are you satisfied that this is _ would otherwise have. are you satisfied that this is a - would otherwise have. are you satisfied that this is a level - satisfied that this is a level playing field, that the new plan is a level playing field? there was much talk when it was £400 per household, when rishi sunak announced that, that it was unfair because those who can afford were getting this extra bit of money. is this a fairer way? the reason i ask is we are talking to the levelling up is we are talking to the levelling up secretary shortly and i want to know if you think this is one way where there is some equality? the devil is in the _ where there is some equality? ti9 devil is in the detail of this, which is why i said if it is a freeze, we will welcome it. because there is talk of £2500 and taking £400 that rishi sunak announced that it still leaves a gap. the report said the gap might be filled by a

cut in vat. people should not be paying a penny more because we have reached the level, this is the conclusion we reached in august, we reached the level that it is beyond which this will be affordable for people and businesses and that is why we said the price should be frozen at £1971, the energy cap. the most important thing is this should be a freeze on some people will say why should it go to everyone and there is extra money for the poorest, but the point i made when we made this original proposal was that the pain here and the struggle goes a long way up the income scale. if what you are asking is if it is right to have a universal freeze, if what you are asking is if it is right to have a universalfreeze, i think the answer is yes, but it has to be a real freeze and think the answer is yes, but it has to be a realfreeze and it think the answer is yes, but it has to be a real freeze and it has to be funded fairly. to be a real freeze and it has to be funded fairly-— funded fairly. what are your thou i hts funded fairly. what are your thoughts on _ funded fairly. what are your thoughts on the _ funded fairly. what are your thoughts on the new- funded fairly. what are your thoughts on the new prime | funded fairly. what are your - thoughts on the new prime minister, liz truss? she is in office now at last and we know who the prime minister is. for example, when it comes to one of the policies of the

conservative party being to level up and bring more equality and particularly to the north of england and cities with public transport links, what do you think should be top of her injury after the cost of living crisis? —— her in tray. i worry that liz truss will make decisions, because this is the key question about a crisis, which, if you like, don�*t spread the burden fairly. it�*s notjust about the windfall tax. she has got this proposal to cancel the rise in corporation tax which rishi sunak proposed. that is going to cost around £17 billion. we know that our public services are struggling in a most terrible way and in real crisis. i don�*t think the right priority is to be doing massive tax cuts for big businesses, something rishi sunak thought was a bad idea. and that is what liz truss�*s priorities are and i think what you are starting to see in the early days of her administration and obviously it is early, is the sense

of priorities i don�*t think accords with where the british people are. it doesn�*t accord with them on the windfall tax or on where things are in relation to public services. ed miliband, thank you very much. and we will be speaking to the new levelling up secretary simon clarke, at about half past seven this morning. that is all the head and the announcement on the energy cap later this morning. announcement on the energy cap later this morning-— this morning. let's bring you pp-to-date _ this morning. let's bring you up-to-date with _ this morning. let's bring you up-to-date with the - this morning. let's bring you up-to-date with the rest - this morning. let's bring you up-to-date with the rest of i this morning. let's bring you i up-to-date with the rest of the up—to—date with the rest of the day�*s news. the suspect in a deadly mass stabbing in western canada has died in police custody. 32—year—old myles sanderson was arrested overnight after spending several days on the run. he died shortly afterwards. 0ur north america correspondent nomia iqbal has more. for days, a manhunt has gripped three provinces of western canada, an area half the size of europe. it ended with the arrest of one

of the countries most wanted men. myles sanderson was pursued by police down a road not far from where the killings occurred. he died in hospital shortly after being arrested and there are conflicting reports on what happened. 0ur province is breathing a collective sigh of relief, as myles sanderson is no longer at large. i can confirm he is no longer a threat and there is no risk to the public related to this investigation. it is just something i cannot speak to that specific manner of death. that will be part of the autopsy that will be conducted. myles sanderson�*s brother, damien sanderson, also a suspect, was found dead early in the week. how that happened is unknown. people across the province have been on edge for days. their grief has been made worse by fear and frustration, because myles sanderson, a man with a long criminal history, had not been found. people were being urged to stay indoors and keep safe as a priority. families of those killed

in the stabbings have been talking about their profound loss. bonnie burns was from the james smith cree nation where most of the victims were found. right outside of her home, she was killed... ..by senseless acts. her son, she was protecting her son. she was protecting these three little boys. this is why she�*s a hero. she is a true matriarch. herson, gregory, described as a great kid, was also killed. indigenous groups say the healing process can now begin. however, with both sanderson brothers dead, it is unlikely their motives will ever be known. nomia iqbal, bbc news.

the police watchdog says no gun was found in the car of a man who was fatally shot by armed officers after a chase in south london. the family of chris kaba, who was 24 and a rapper, have called for a full murder investigation into his death earlier this week in streatham hill. the independent office for police conduct is examining what happened. the queen has postponed an online meeting of senior ministers after being advised to rest by doctors. buckingham palace said that after "a full day" on tuesday, in which she appointed liz truss as the new prime minister, the monarch had accepted the medics�* advice. the 96—year—old has recently suffered with mobility issues. it�*s the first full day at their new school today for prince george, princess charlotte and prince louis — after the family�*s move to windsor from kensington palace. yesterday, the children and their parents — the duke and duchess of cambridge — spent an afternoon meeting staff and new pupils.

0ur royal correspondent, daniela relph, has the story. that first day at a new school, a nervous time for prince george, prince louis and princess charlotte, and probably for mum and dad, too. this was settling—in afternoon at lambrook in berkshire, designed for all children and parents new to the school. a chance to meet teachers, classmates and other new families. but first came head teacher, jonathan perry. welcome, george. welcome to lambrook play, louis. welcome. and welcome, charlotte. lovely to have you with us. we�*re very excited. dressed in the school�*s summer uniform, it was then into class for the cambridges. the duke said the children had lots of questions. after today, school life here will be away from the public gaze. allowing cameras in briefly as a way of managing the public and media interest in the family, it�*s now hoped the children will be left alone to settle in to their new school. lambrook sits in 52 acres

of berkshire countryside. it has a nine—hole golf course, a swimming pool, and bees, chickens and pigs for people to look after. it will be a privileged education. school fees for all three children will be around £55,000 a year. marking the first day of school has become a royal rite of passage. it was diana, princess of wales, who took william to his first day at prep school in 1987. and this wouldn�*t happen now in a more ca refully—managed media landscape. dozens of cameras and journalists were there for william�*s first day at eton with his parents. the media were even allowed to record his first walk to lessons. these milestones are still noted, but royal children are no longer as exposed on these significant days. these pictures were filmed byjust

one television camera and one photographer and then shared with other media organisations. it is a way of protecting the children as they start at a school that says it aims to create happy and thoughtful young adults who are global citizens. daniela ralph, bbc news, lambrook school in berkshire. here�*s matt with a look at this morning�*s weather. how is the weather going to be for those going back to school? the rain tied in with the school run and another day of shower dodging, and another day of shower dodging, and good morning. some big looming clouds already around on this one is a thundercloud captured a short while ago in kent and we already have thunderstorms rumbling close to the coast. let me show you where those are in a second because those thunderstorms will become more widely through the day and a little bit of sunshine on one or two will stay dry but frequent heavy showers,

wales, southern england and the southern area of london and more persistent rain will work its way into north—east england later and a few bands of heavy rain across parts of scotland as well but southwest and western scotland not faring too bad, if you wish i was around are many places will stay dry and we could see a dry slot between the persistent rain around the borders of scotland and england under heavy showers to wales, the east midlands and east anglia later. temperatures down on what we saw, especially in the blustery conditions but it will feel called to end the day across parts of north—east england, south—east scotland and it�*s here this evening if you are on the move that heavy and persistent rain will work its way towards the isle of man and cumbria and then tonight it will shift south into parts of wales. persistent rain setting up for the next 24 hours across eastern scotland, heavy, thundery showers close the south—east corner along the southern coast for a while but elsewhere clearer skies and could be mist and fog into tomorrow. a wet

day tomorrow across eastern parts of scotland and the rain will clear southwards and then it�*s back to another story of sunshine and showers and any plans this weekend, it looks dry until late on sunday in the west but with winds lighter and cooler nights on the way there will be some mist and fog around in the mornings. he seemed happy about that, mist and fog. it he seemed happy about that, mist and foi _ :, , �* fog. it doesn't fill me with happiness- _ fog. it doesn't fill me with happiness. i'm _ fog. it doesn't fill me with happiness. i'm not - fog. it doesn't fill me with happiness. i'm not ready i fog. it doesn't fill me with l happiness. i'm not ready for fog. it doesn't fill me with _ happiness. i'm not ready for autumn happiness. i�*m not ready for autumn until mid—0ctober. the happiness. i'm not ready for autumn until mid-october.— until mid-october. the trees are already there. _ until mid-october. the trees are already there. they _ until mid-october. the trees are already there. they have - until mid-october. the trees are already there. they have already turned. autumn is with us. that's because of— turned. autumn is with us. that's because of the _ turned. autumn is with us. that's because of the heatwave - turned. autumn is with us. that's| because of the heatwave weather. good to have you, matt. speak later. it�*s been described as the "biggest strike in the uk in more than a decade" — and this morning around 115,000 workers at royal mail are walking out in a continuing dispute over pay and conditions.

royal mail earlier told us the communication workers union rejected an offer worth up to 5.5% but insist they�*re still open to talks. let�*s get the view of the union now — we�*re joined by general secretary of the cwu, dave ward. thanks for your time this morning. can you tell me what stage you�*re at in terms of discussions? taste can you tell me what stage you're at in terms of discussions?— can you tell me what stage you're at in terms of discussions? we met the com ian in terms of discussions? we met the company on — in terms of discussions? we met the company on monday, _ in terms of discussions? we met the company on monday, we _ in terms of discussions? we met the company on monday, we met - in terms of discussions? we met the company on monday, we met the . in terms of discussions? we met the i company on monday, we met the ceo for the _ company on monday, we met the ceo for the first _ company on monday, we met the ceo for the first time four weeks and we have been— for the first time four weeks and we have been seeking meetings at the highest _ have been seeking meetings at the highest level and the company has been refusing to talk. the meeting was really— been refusing to talk. the meeting was really interesting. they did indicate — was really interesting. they did indicate that there is more money available — indicate that there is more money available and they want more change and what _ available and they want more change and what we are saying is we are willing _ and what we are saying is we are willing to — and what we are saying is we are willing to progress change as well as dealing with pay simultaneously but that— as dealing with pay simultaneously but that has to be change in the interest— but that has to be change in the interest of— but that has to be change in the interest of the members, customers and the _ interest of the members, customers and the company. we are willing and ready— and the company. we are willing and ready to _ and the company. we are willing and ready to talk about that but there is an— ready to talk about that but there is an elephant in the room that mr

hello, good morning, this is bbc london, i�*m frankie mccamley. the police watchdog has said they didn�*t find what they call a non—police issue gun in the area or in the car where a 24—year—old man was fatally shot by police in streatham on monday. chris kaba died after a police car chase. the 24—year—old�*s family has claimed the shooting was "totally racist and criminal". the independent office for police conduct says mr kaba�*s car was stopped after an automatic number plate recognition camera indicated the vehicle was linked to a firearms incident a few days earlier. a terminally ill mother from east london says she must chose between paying for a funeral and heating her home. kelly casey, from hackney, was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumour in 2015. she says she�*s seen her energy bills rise 80% to more than £3,500. it is hard. it�*s hard to think that

i even have to sit down and think about that rubbish, with what else rubbish is going through my head right now. but in terms of priorities, it�*s not mine. i need gas, i need heating. if i�*m alive after november, we�*ll talk about the bill. energy costs are a real concern for many people. on our progamme tonight at 6.30 we�*ll be speaking to an expert in how to potentially reduce your costs. do get in touch with any questions. email us hellobbclondon@bbc.co.uk. chelsea football club are set to hold talks with brighton boss graham potter about replacing the sacked blues manager thomas tuchel. the ex—swansea coach has been given permission by the seagulls to talk with chelsea. tuchel was dismissed after losing the confidence of players and the new ownership. now let�*s take a look at what going on on tfl services this morning. now the weather with kate kinsella.

good morning. it was another mild and quite thundery night for some last night, plenty of thunderstorms. this is one captured out in watford from weather watcher watford weather. for this morning, we have got further showers. it�*s a bit misty in one or two spots as those showers last night cleared. however more showers feeding up from the south. again, could be quite breezy for a time, but through the afternoon a bit lighter so those showers are little more slow—moving. temperatures, 20 or 21 celsius. some sunny spells between those showers but again we could get some rumbles of thunder. overnight tonight, those showers will gradually clear. again the risk of some mist and fog forming. as we head through tomorrow, you can see the low pressure just starts to move eastwards. the windfalls a bit lighter, mist and fog clearing in the morning. we will see further showers through the course of friday. perhaps a little bit drier by the end of the day. but if you get the showers on friday, they are going to be slower to get out of the way, that wind a little lighter. temperatures tomorrow at 20 celsius. as we head into the weekend, that low pressure drifts east.

we are dragging in warmer air from the south so temperatures getting a little warmer and it should be a little drier. still the risk of a shower on saturday. that�*s it from me, i�*m back in an hour. hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. it�*s only her third day in the job but prime minister liz truss is preparing to make an announcement this morning that is likely to shape the first few months of her premiership. she�*s unveilling a scheme which is expected to cost more than £100 billion in an effort to protect people and businesses from soaring energy prices. let�*s speak now to one of her new cabinet members. we�*re joined by simon clarke, the secretary of state for levelling up, housing and communities. good morning, thank you for your time this morning, i know it is a

busy time for government. this announcement is at 11am. i don�*t want to waste time talking about what you can�*t tell us. can you give us a broadbrush picture of what we can expect? there has been much speculation. can expect? there has been much speculation-— speculation. that's very fair, and ou're speculation. that's very fair, and you're right. _ speculation. that's very fair, and you're right. l — speculation. that's very fair, and you're right, i can't _ speculation. that's very fair, and you're right, i can't set _ speculation. that's very fair, and you're right, i can't set out - speculation. that's very fair, and you're right, i can't set out the i you�*re right, i can�*t set out the details of the announcement this morning. i can say this is a major intervention by government to make sure that families and businesses across the country who are quite reasonably very worried about the large increase in bills that is not only sets to come into effect if we don�*t act in october but critically will get much worse in the early months of 2023 does not happen, so that we can provide both comfort and clarity for the months ahead and provide a lasting framework to address the situation in which we find ourselves. we have to understand what�*s happening here. putin is trying to weapon eyes energy to break the resolve of the west in ukraine. we cannot allow him

to succeed. if we don�*t act to deal with the massive increases in the cost of wholesale gas in particular we have been seeing, there�*s going to be massive economic damage. today the prime minister is going to set out a lasting solution which will provide real comfort to millions of viewers. �* 9, 9, provide real comfort to millions of viewers. �* :, :, :, , viewers. i'm aware almost everything i ask ou viewers. i'm aware almost everything i ask you is — viewers. i'm aware almost everything i ask you is proceed _ viewers. i'm aware almost everything i ask you is proceed by _ viewers. i'm aware almost everything i ask you is proceed by the _ viewers. i'm aware almost everything i ask you is proceed by the fact - i ask you is proceed by the fact that you will not give us the numbers, perfectly fair. 1.i that you will not give us the numbers, perfectly fair. 1.1 would raise to you, if someone is watching this programme now and they literally are sinking as we speak under the pressure of the 1971 level of the cap right now, if they are going under that rate, and want the government announces today is anything above that, you talk about comfort, there will be no comfort for those people. because the crisis is upon them already. it�*s for those people. because the crisis is upon them already.— is upon them already. it's very important _ is upon them already. it's very important to — is upon them already. it's very important to say, _ is upon them already. it's very important to say, as _

is upon them already. it's very important to say, as you - is upon them already. it's very important to say, as you did, i can�*t comment on the specific numbers. but it�*s also important for viewers to understand that there is a lot more help programmed to come through over the course of the autumn. there is the £400 reduction in everyone�*s bills, which is going to come in in october. if you are on any forms of means tested benefit at all, there is a 605 —— £650 additional benefit which will come in in instalments on a monthly basis, as additional pendants if you are a pensioner or if you have some sort of disability. there is more help coming which is not yet landed in people�*s bank accounts, it�*s vitally important that we factor that into people�*s understanding as well that the decision that they are in today is not where they will be in today is not where they will be in a few weeks�* time. we have to get the details of the announcement across the line first and then we can comment further. you across the line first and then we can comment further.— can comment further. you are levellini can comment further. you are levelling pp — can comment further. you are levelling up minister, - can comment further. you are i levelling up minister, secretary can comment further. you are - levelling up minister, secretary of state for levelling up, if you look

at broadbrush treatments, which is as i understand it what this will be, a cap on the per—unit cost, the one thing that it is not is targeted. it will go the same to someone who is earning hundreds of thousands of pounds as it will to someone who is a pensioner on a fixed income. now, that is not levelling up. fixed income. now, that is not levelling pp— fixed income. now, that is not levelling up. fixed income. now, that is not levelliniiu. 9, :, :, :, , levelling up. what we have to do is irovide levelling up. what we have to do is provide clarity _ levelling up. what we have to do is provide clarity and _ levelling up. what we have to do is provide clarity and certainty - levelling up. what we have to do is provide clarity and certainty for - provide clarity and certainty for people about their bills. when you are faced with the need to make inventions of this nature, this is clearly not an ideal set of circumstances, we are dealing with effectively an energy war which has been forced upon us, we need to protect households and businesses. and the solution that the prime minister sets out is the best way, i think this is widely acknowledged, in an imperfect world, of providing clarity and certainty about the cost of energy which will allow us to avoid what has otherwise been a very iterative process of returning to

this question every few months as the price worsens. what we are going to announce today, as i say i cannot get drawn into the details, which is almost the frustration of these morning rounds before an announcement, but we are going to be providing absolute clarity as to the cost of energy which will give the households ability to budget sensibly and on the basis of known facts which is what people are crying out for. facts which is what people are crying out for-— facts which is what people are crying out for. let's talk about something _ crying out for. let's talk about something we _ crying out for. let's talk about something we can _ crying out for. let's talk about something we can hopefully i crying out for. let's talk about i something we can hopefully talk about more clearly, levelling up. if you look at a couple of the markers for levelling up, which a lot of people don�*t really understand the principle of it, say you look at child poverty or in work poverty, which of those markers have the tories in 12 years been successful in helping? 0k, sorry, maybe you didn�*t hear that question. i will repeat it again. i am asking about

levelling up. if you look at some markers, for example child poverty or in work poverty, which of those markers have the tories successfully affected across 12 years? we markers have the tories successfully affected across 12 years?— affected across 12 years? we have had to deal— affected across 12 years? we have had to deal with _ affected across 12 years? we have had to deal with an _ affected across 12 years? we have had to deal with an extraordinaryl had to deal with an extraordinary series of challenges over the course of the 12 years that the conservative party has been in office. often, clearly, faced with a very difficult parliamentary arithmetic as well. but we are absolutely clear that levelling up sits at the heart of our work in office. i represent a constituency on teesside which has pockets of very deep deprivation. and a community like mine have put their faith in this government precisely because they recognise that opportunity and enterprise needs to sit... ii i opportunity and enterprise needs to sit... 9, opportunity and enterprise needs to sit... :_ :, opportunity and enterprise needs to sit... :, :, :, sit... ifi may, i am going to interrupt— sit... ifi may, i am going to interrupt you, _ sit... ifi may, i am going to interrupt you, because - sit... ifi may, i am going to interrupt you, because i - sit... if i may, i am going to i interrupt you, because i asked sit... if i may, i am going to - interrupt you, because i asked that question very deliberately, mr clarke. the markers are what counts. you may have ambitions that the

markers count. i think the north—east particularly is a place where across all those markers, correct me if i am wrong, it has all got worse in the time that toys have beenin got worse in the time that toys have been in power, is that true? ii got worse in the time that toys have been in power, is that true?- been in power, is that true? if you ask my constituencies _ been in power, is that true? if you ask my constituencies -- - been in power, is that true? if you ask my constituencies -- that - been in power, is that true? if you ask my constituencies -- that the | ask my constituencies —— that the tories have been in power. if you ask my constituents, the policy is that the tories have been put in place are leading to great results under the mayor that has been put in. we cannot continue under the failed legacy that the labour party left that is with high taxes... this is more than _ left that is with high taxes... this is more than 12 _ left that is with high taxes... this is more than 12 years _ left that is with high taxes... this is more than 12 years ago which i think frankly doesn�*t make any sense for most people. my question is pretty clear about where we are now. again, i�*m looking for your expertise in this. as i understand it, across almost all of those markers, it actually got worse. the government _ markers, it actually got worse. the government is _ markers, it actually got worse. ti9 government is very clear about our

mission which is to provide new opportunities, newjobs and a new—found sense of pride and purpose in communities which you have not had that for too long. the work of my department, which sits at the heart of the government was make efforts in this space, is to provide the shot in the arm that the country outside london and the greater southeast which has had a long period where it has lagged all indices of trend growth in a way which has led to lower life chances in the community. we have to do more to make sure that the great northern and midlands towns and cities get a fair crack of the whip, that�*s why we are investing billions in our levelling of programmes. the town is funded in particular is transforming town centres, the levelling up fund providing funding for new projects. a focus on an education system which provides the skills that young people need and the apprenticeships which will get people on a pathway

into great newjobs. none of this happens overnight. you don�*t turn around the multi—decayed decline of the uk outside the —— the multi—decade decline of the uk outside the south—east. our mission is to turbo—charge growth outside those parts of the parts of the country where it has been much more successful and we have to get on with that mission. there is nothing easy about trying to correct these trends, but it is the case that we have a bold plan to do so. i will be setting out a lot more detail on that in the course of september. very specifically, i know you are in the cabinet now, very specifically on that and on the levelling up issue, the sutton trust has done some calculations saying that 68% of the cabinet members now went to fee—paying schools, where in the general population that would be 7%. there�*s nothing wrong with independent schools, it�*s for parents... independent schools, it's for parents- - -—

independent schools, it's for iarents... , :, , ., parents... the statistics is what i was putting _ parents... the statistics is what i was putting to — parents... the statistics is what i was putting to you, _ parents... the statistics is what i was putting to you, 68% - parents... the statistics is what i was putting to you, 68% of - parents... the statistics is what i was putting to you, 68% of the i was putting to you, 68% of the current cabinet went to fee—paying schools and 7% is the wider population. levelling up, how do you equate those two things? ii you population. levelling up, how do you equate those two things? if you were to look at many _ equate those two things? if you were to look at many governments - equate those two things? if you were to look at many governments over i to look at many governments over time, the figures would not be dissimilar to this. this goes to the point that we do —— need to do more to encourage equality of opportunity. we have estate educated prime minister in liz truss and she is absolutely clear that widening opportunities is her work, and kit malthouse has the mission to make sure that schools across the country are fantastic for children and help them to be all they can be. the work of this government, and this goes back to the reforms instigated by michael gove under david cameron, has been to transform the culture of mediocrity which prevailed in so many schools and focus unashamedly on academic rigour and excellence. our academies programme has proved

absolutely brilliant in that regard, schools standards are rising. i look at the schools that i visit including in my constituency, and the sense of pride and purpose is enormous. i think that the turnaround in our education system is one of the things i am most proud of as a conservative.— of as a conservative. simon clarke, can we get — of as a conservative. simon clarke, can we get you _ of as a conservative. simon clarke, can we get you back— of as a conservative. simon clarke, can we get you back in _ of as a conservative. simon clarke, can we get you back in 12 _ of as a conservative. simon clarke, can we get you back in 12 months' i can we get you back in 12 months�* time, levelling up minister, and you can point to something specific which has changed in time of your ten year? i know you are brand—new in thejob, you can pick the territory. in the job, you can pick the territory-— in the job, you can pick the territo . ~ , , 9, , territory. absolutely, that is the date. territory. absolutely, that is the date- and _ territory. absolutely, that is the date- and we — territory. absolutely, that is the date. and we will _ territory. absolutely, that is the date. and we will do _ territory. absolutely, that is the date. and we will do that, - territory. absolutely, that is the date. and we will do that, we i territory. absolutely, that is the i date. and we will do that, we have got some bold plans...— date. and we will do that, we have got some bold plans... which was the cate i o got some bold plans... which was the category you — got some bold plans... which was the category you would — got some bold plans... which was the category you would like _ got some bold plans... which was the category you would like to _ got some bold plans... which was the category you would like to be - got some bold plans... which was the category you would like to be judged i category you would like to be judged upon? i give you that choice. fin upon? i give you that choice. on economic— upon? i give you that choice. oi economic opportunity and on growth, i would love to come and talk to you

literally later this month. levelling up is my question, for example child poverty, how about that, can we talk about that in a year? i that, can we talk about that in a ear? 9, that, can we talk about that in a ear? :, :, , .y that, can we talk about that in a ear? :, :, , ,, :, that, can we talk about that in a ear? :, :, , _ :, :, :, ,, that, can we talk about that in a ear? :, :, , .y :, :, :, ~' :, year? i am happy to come and talk to ou next year? i am happy to come and talk to you next month- _ year? i am happy to come and talk to you next month. if _ year? i am happy to come and talk to you next month. if you _ year? i am happy to come and talk to you next month. if you want - year? i am happy to come and talk to you next month. if you want to - year? i am happy to come and talk to you next month. if you want to talk i you next month. if you want to talk about these things in a year�*s time, of course we can. there is no sense in which some of these problems have easy solutions and it would be doing our viewers a disservice to suggest that to turnaround decade—long in a of sense of months. does the government have the moral seriousness to tackle the big challenges of the day, we do, and across government we will be doing our damnedest to make sure that people growing up in communities like mine in middlesbrough have the same opportunities of someone growing up in maidenhead. that is a set of levelling up. it�*s something i am deeply passionate about and it is going to be a whole society, whole government effort and i will come and talk at any time about why it is that i care so much about this and why frenkie we all should. appreciate your time this morning,

simon clarke, secretary of state for levelling up. we await that announcement from the new prime minister later this morning. expected at around 11am. here�*s matt with a look at this morning�*s weather. i have really enjoyed all the cloud this morning. was it cumulus congestion at 6am?— congestion at 6am? cumulus congestion — congestion at 6am? cumulus congestion just, _ congestion at 6am? cumulus congestion just, very - congestion at 6am? cumulusj congestion just, very similar! congestion at 6am? cumulus - congestion just, very similar! these congestionjust, very similar! these big cauliflower top ones that look like cauliflowers. they are a sure sign that big showers are coming your way. sign that big showers are coming yourway. if sign that big showers are coming your way. if you see them on a dark cloud, take cover. there are a few brewing on the south coast in hastings, but there will be more punctuated by some rainbows because they will be sunshine. watch out for the darkening clouds, like we have seen this week there could be pretty nasty thunderstorms in places. heavy thunderstorms now pushing through london with a rumble

of thunder, more persistent rain across parts of lincolnshire and yorkshire, moving to north—east england and south—east scotland. a few lines of very tense but localised showers in central scotland. they will ease a little bit, but in scotland and northern ireland not faring too badly. as we move towards the borders of scotland and england there will be frequent showers, a strong breeze on the south coast but lighter winds in wales and the midlands so it will be shown —— slow—moving. this evening watch out for persistent and heavy rain, north east england and south—east scotland sliding towards cumbria and parts of dumfries and galloway. that could cause a bit of minor flooding for a time and then more persistent rain later in the night across east scotland. that the zone of rain will push into wales through to night and tonight it is the south—east corner where you might get disturbed by some thunder and lightning. temperatures in double figures for most, low teens.

into tomorrow, more thunderstorms around but this weekend is looking quieter. fewershowers around but this weekend is looking quieter. fewer showers to begin with but some more mist and fog. thank ou. it�*s a tradition that goes back centuries and now the art of military and naval tattoos is being used by one charity to help veterans who are struggling. help for heroes is inviting tattoo artists to complete online suicide prevention training, designed to help them spot the signs in a customer. it comes as new figures from the charity suggest one in three veterans have felt suicidal. breakfast�*s john maguire reports. they were once brothers in arms, comrades serving in the same army unit. now, as well as still being friends, they�*re also client and tattoo artist. come and take a seat. do you feel like a sense of panic with the big wide world setting in? yeah, oh, massively, a sense of panic. scott was discharged from the army with a medical condition after serving 23 years.

he says adapting to civilian life was tough. i massively struggled when i first left the army and joined civvy street. so i was diagnosed with adjustment disorder. you get tired being angry all the time. not angry as in physical, but angry at the world for who knows what. the veterans charity help the heroes today publishes research that says one in three former members of the armed forces have had suicidal thoughts. aaron says the number could have been higher. we�*re very good at hiding what we�*re thinking when we want to. having gone through that process as well of therapy, every session you fill out a form. you don�*t need to tell the truth on that form unless you want to. so from my experience, i wanted my career to continue, so i�*m not going to tick the suicide box. we need to understand that it's -

a preventable and avoidable death. help the heroes wants to raise awareness of suicide prevention. there�*s a free course on its website aimed at tattooists, who the charity feels may be able to reach out to their clients while they�*re being worked on. the trust issue is massively important when getting tattooed. obviously, it�*s something that�*s going to be on your body for the rest of your life, so you need to trust the tattoo artist who�*s actually working on you. aaron was diagnosed with ptsd but traces his mental health issues back to life before hejoined up. his client base now includes many people with military backgrounds attracted by his designs. as a veteran with 22 years�* service, he has that understanding of how former military people think, talk and relate to their new lives outside the forces. i'm not the most outgoing of people, but when we're here, it's so easy to talk and you canjust vent.

it's a safe space, it really is. and, you know, we all understand the dark humour, sarcasm. and when you can speak to someone on the same level as you, you tend to want to gravitate towards that. this is such a personal and sometimes intimate process, which can lead to conversations about life and may ultimately save a life. john maguire, bbc news, chesterfield. we are joined now by former army officer rob shenton, actor and patron for help for heroes antony cotton, plus the services director for help for heroes lis skeet. good for help for heroes lis skeet. morning to you all. start good morning to you all. rob, let me start with you. we saw there scott

saying, just tired, it gets tiring being angry. all the time. and not being angry. all the time. and not being able to talk about it. and you see from aaron and you see the relationships that are formed between a tattoo artist and someone who is sitting in the chair, you are someone who has a lot of experience and you yourself have experienced ptsd, i'm and you yourself have experienced ptsd, i�*m sure you don�*t mind me saying this because it is in our notes, you have tried to take your life several times.— notes, you have tried to take your life several times._ can i life severaltimes. yes, you. can ou see life severaltimes. yes, you. can you see this— life severaltimes. yes, you. can you see this relationship - life severaltimes. yes, you. can you see this relationship and - life severaltimes. yes, you. can| you see this relationship and how that can be helpful and it is a different avenue getting people to talk with mike an environment where? . —— it is a different environment where it is safe to talk about that. it is before you get to that stage, you are thinking about ending your life and you don�*t want to talk to anyone about it because you are worried there could be a reaction, or a stigma, things along those lines. having an environment where

you can talk about it very freely and say, i am having a rough time and say, i am having a rough time and! and say, i am having a rough time and i have been considering ending it all, that makes it much better for the individual. it�*s it all, that makes it much better for the individual.— it all, that makes it much better for the individual. it's a moment in time where — for the individual. it's a moment in time where it _ for the individual. it's a moment in time where it is _ for the individual. it's a moment in time where it is a _ for the individual. it's a moment in time where it is a prolonged - for the individual. it's a moment in i time where it is a prolonged moment in time, you could the awkward silence but it is not like the barbers or the headdresses which is half, this is a longer period of time and the relationship has to be developed. time and the relationship has to be develo ied. , time and the relationship has to be develo-ed. , 9, ~ time and the relationship has to be develo-ed. , :, ,, , developed. yes, and i think being in the hairdresser— developed. yes, and i think being in the hairdresser or _ developed. yes, and i think being in the hairdresser or the _ developed. yes, and i think being in the hairdresser or the barber - developed. yes, and i think being in the hairdresser or the barber all - the hairdresser or the barber all the hairdresser or the barber all the tattoo parlour, you have got an element of trust particularly in the tattoo parlour. i�*m presuming that you take a lot of consideration of who is going to do it because it is there forever. so you have built thatjust before there forever. so you have built that just before you there forever. so you have built thatjust before you have met that person. being in the moment with that element of trust, it�*s not like asking someone to change your hairstyle, it is quite critical to create that suicide is environment. for you, when and create that suicide is environment. foryou, when and —— create that suicide is environment. for you, when and —— that safe environment to talk about it. can you go back to the time and tell me

stay with us, headlines coming up.

good morning, welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. our headlines today: the new prime minister's plan to tackle soaring energy costs. liz truss will set out measures to limit price rises for millions of households and businesses. what will it all mean for businesses like this? _ what will it all mean for businesses like this? i've been hearing from people _ like this? i've been hearing from people and businesses across newcastle about what they think the new prime minister should prioritise. a man suspected of killing 10 people in a mass stabbing in canada has died in police custody after he was arrested. a humilating night for liverpool in the champions league. their struggles this season continued with a 4—1 defeat away at napoli. rangers also got thumped on their travels, but tottenham got off to a winning start. no sign of first day nerves, as prince george, princess charlotte and prince louis arrive at their new school.

plus, another day of watching out for those — plus, another day of watching out for those big looming clouds approaching. a day of thunderstorms and sunshine for many. i will have the full— and sunshine for many. i will have the full forecast coming up on breakfast. it's thursday the 8th of september. our main story. new prime minister liz truss will this morning unveil her plans to tackle soaring energy costs. under the proposals, typical household energy bills could be capped at around £2,500 a year, with businesses also in line for help. it's expected to be funded by £100—billion of government borrowing — as our political correspondent, helen catt, reports. there you go, darling. this lunch club in peterborough provides much needed help for people struggling with costs. it's not uncommon that i get to the last two weeks when i'm waiting for the 15th when i'm going to get paid and i've got barely anything for basic necessities. i don't get paid until next week and i've literally got £4 of electric left,

so i've got to scramble around because i'm on a prepaid meter. i live on my own, my kids have grown up now. you know, it's hard. the concerns here are repeated across the country and by businesses as well, like this charity which runs children's hospices in wales. unlike other businesses we don't have a price tag and we can't the price up. our services are free at the point of service to children and families and that's how we want to keep it. the new prime minister says she knows families and businesses are worried and is promising what number 10 calls a bold plan of action. after weeks of being asked what her plan is, this morning she will spell it out to parliament. it is expected she will stop typical household energy bills from going up to £3,519 from next month by lowering the price cap to around £2,500. with the £400 rebate announced earlier this year and a possible cut to vat on domestic energy bills, that would mean many households could actually see their bills stay at its current level ofjust under £2,000 until at least january.

£2,000 bills will go a huge way to help a large number of people but for those on very low incomes or who have high energy needs it might be additional support is needed to get through this winter. the government is also expected to lower and fix energy costs for businesses. it's expected the plan will be funded by borrowing, which could run to more than £100 billion. labour has been calling for household bills to be frozen at their current level since last month but wants to see it paid for by a windfall tax on the unexpected profits of oil and gas companies. ceos and cfos of those businesses have said that they have more money that they know what to do with and they are treating this crisis as a cash machine. liz truss has ruled that out. we are asking those companies to invest those profits in creating new supply. that is absolutely key to the government's plan. a windfall tax would stop that investment and also, as a government, and it may be an ideological difference

with the labour party, we do not believe that putting up taxes is a good way of encouraging growth. the government has said it will also set out plans today for long—term solutions to boost how much energy the uk produces. liz truss has previously talked about extracting more oil and gas from the north sea and lifting the fracking ban where a community agrees. others say there should be a focus on energy efficiency. you don't know what household prices are going to do. there's no sign of it coming down to anywhere near normal prices at any time in the coming years, so alongside the price freeze, there has to be a commitment to energy efficiency, domestic energy efficiency, especially in the homes of people least able to afford it themselves. liz truss has been the prime minister for less than 48 hours, but what she sets out today could have a big impact on the rest of her time in downing street. helen catt, bbc news, westminster. let's speak to our political

correspondent, iain watson. it is one of those days where we know some things but not others and we know government intervention will be huge and there is a real crisis but we don't know how it will be paid for and we don't yet know the detail. irate paid for and we don't yet know the detail. ~ ., ., detail. we will get the detail in a few hours' _ detail. we will get the detail in a few hours' time _ detail. we will get the detail in a few hours' time between - detail. we will get the detail in a few hours' time between 11 i detail. we will get the detail in a few hours' time between 11 or. detail. we will get the detail in a few hours' time between 11 or 12 | few hours' time between 11 or 12 o'clock today when liz truss stands up o'clock today when liz truss stands up in the house of commons and opens the energy debate but it does look like there will be a limit, as we were talking about, on energy bills at around £2500 and some extra help already announced for the least well—off households but there is a political consensus, agreement, that it is the right thing for the government to do to intervene to stop bills going through the roof in october when the price cap is due to be increased by 80%. there is less agreement on how it should be paid for. the government are saying, and i think they will confirm this today, that it will be paid for through borrowing and that is fine during difficult economic circumstances but labour are saying

that some of the costs should be met by a windfall tax on the energy companies and the government are saying, if you do that, you will push them away from the uk and they will be worried about investing here in the shadow climate change secretary, ed miliband, the former labour leader, said that this argument was something he believed simply did not hold water. i just simply did not hold water. i 'ust want to make i simply did not hold water. i 'ust want to make this i simply did not hold water. i 'ust want to make this point i simply did not hold water. ijust want to make this point about what would _ want to make this point about what would happen if this windfall tax at the levels — would happen if this windfall tax at the levels we are talking about happened. the chief executive of bp, one of— happened. the chief executive of bp, one of the _ happened. the chief executive of bp, one of the companies making those billions. _ one of the companies making those billions, said it would have no effect — billions, said it would have no effect on _ billions, said it would have no effect on their investments. this investment argument is, i'm afraid, a bogus— investment argument is, i'm afraid, a bogus argument. it is ideology that is_ a bogus argument. it is ideology that is prevailing here and it is the wrong _ that is prevailing here and it is the wrong ideology. ed miliband sa in: the the wrong ideology. ed miliband saying the government - the wrong ideology. ed miliband saying the government is - the wrong ideology. ed miliband - saying the government is motivated by ideology. the government would throw that back at him and say it is labour who have been ideological because they always like taxing business rather than promoting economic growth. simon clark, the

new levelling up secretary and a close ally of liz truss and you are speaking to him, but of course he was not going to give us any huge detail about this because there are a whole range of issues about whether the support would be properly targeted at those who needed it most and his view was there is actually no perfect system for doing this but the government would at least be able to offer what he thought was comfort and clarity to people in the months ahead. this is clearly not — to people in the months ahead. this is clearly not an _ to people in the months ahead. this is clearly not an ideal set of circumstances. we are dealing with effectively — circumstances. we are dealing with effectively and energy wall being forced _ effectively and energy wall being forced upon us. we need to protect households— forced upon us. we need to protect households and businesses and the solution _ households and businesses and the solution of— households and businesses and the solution of the prime minister that is being _ solution of the prime minister that is being set out is the best way and this is— is being set out is the best way and this is why— is being set out is the best way and this is why it— is being set out is the best way and this is why it is acknowledged in an imperfect— this is why it is acknowledged in an imperfect world in providing clarity and certainty about the cost of energy— and certainty about the cost of energy which will allow us to avoid what has _ energy which will allow us to avoid what has otherwise been a very iterative — what has otherwise been a very iterative process —— process of returning _ iterative process —— process of returning to the question every few months _ returning to the question every few months. ~ . . . . returning to the question every few months. . . . , , . ,

have called for a full murder investigation into his death earlier this week in streatham hill. the independent office for police conduct is examining what happened. the queen has postponed an online meeting of senior ministers after being advised to rest by doctors. buckingham palace said that after "a full day" on tuesday, in which she appointed liz truss as the new prime minister, the monarch had accepted the medical advice. the 96—year—old has recently suffered with mobility issues. the time now is ten minutes past eight. let's take a look on thursday morning how the weather is looking for everyone. what is that? misty and foggy for one or two but this was— misty and foggy for one or two but this was the scene in northumberland and expect— this was the scene in northumberland and expect more of that this weekend. a bit more of an autumn field in _ weekend. a bit more of an autumn field in the — weekend. a bit more of an autumn field in the mornings at least. it may— field in the mornings at least. it may be — field in the mornings at least. it may be a — field in the mornings at least. it may be a bit misty for one or two but for— may be a bit misty for one or two but for most are bright enough start, — but for most are bright enough start, lrut— but for most are bright enough start, but again like we seen through— start, but again like we seen through the past few days, those big

june kelly, reports. police officers lauren bach and faye holgate on their way to check on women in bradford who've been the victims of domestic abuse. straight at the lights or is it right? these are regular calls. the men responsible are banned from making contact with their victims. they are subject to domestic violence protection orders or dvpos. the subject of this dvpo has got two weapons markers, one for a large knife and one for a knuckleduster. the abuse has happened while she's been holding the baby. there wasn't a prosecution. so they've put the dvpo in place. the officers go into the house to make sure the abuser is not inside in breach of his order. everything been ok? these visits are part of west yorkshire police's strategy to tackle violence against women and girls. come on, then, we're going to come in and look around your house. all good. she says she hasn't had

any contact from him, so it seems like dvpo is working well at the minute. yeah. sarah, and this is a pseudonym, told us how she had to be persuaded to report her violent abuser to the police. he was prosecuted and jailed. she describes how officers are helping her with her security because he's now served his sentence and is out of prison. i've got alarms on all my doors. i've got letterbox locks and i've got the smartwater. smartwater is a forensic liquid which shows up under ultraviolet light. sarah knows that if she sprays it on her abuser, it will stay on his skin and clothing for weeks. ijust know that i can spray that at him before he has a chance to even think about running off. with that being high risk i'm going to look to you, joe... this meeting is about managing domestic abuse offenders and supporting their victims. i'll come to you, tony, because you've had some update with this.

again, i've not spoken - to the victim, which is his mum. consolidating all these crime types together under, if you like, the heading of violence against women and girls, it is bringing an emphasis now that i've not seen, to be honest, within 26 years of policing. we need people to tell us about stuff. forces across england and wales were told to produce action plans after the police watchdog accused them of failing women and girls. i don't think there's any lighting on this side that i can see that's obvious. in london, inspector becky perkins is out on one of the metropolitan police's regular walk and talks with local resident kathleen erlich, who's raised concerns about street safety. it's about sending a message out to perpetrators that, you know, they're the people that we're going to get. that's our concern. it's not asking women, no, you can't go out, you can't do this. having regular patrols and actually seeing officers here in the neighbourhood is something everyone would really like.

while police chiefs believe they are making progress, they acknowledge there is still a lot of work to do and they are stressing that the police alone cannot deal with the issue of violence against women and girls. june kelly, bbc news. joining us now is deputy chief constable maggie blyth who is in charge of coordinating the national policing response to violence against women and girls. good morning to you. the report, yourfirst good morning to you. the report, your first progress report, good morning to you. the report, yourfirst progress report, has good morning to you. the report, your first progress report, has come out, and it outlines improvements that are needed, focus on pursuing perpetrators, safer spaces for women. these are some of the issues, and trust and confidence in the police. who did you talk to to find out where confidence and trust was lacking? irate out where confidence and trust was lackin: ? ~ . . ~ out where confidence and trust was lackina? ~ . . ~ ., . . lacking? we have talked to a range of women and _ lacking? we have talked to a range of women and girls _ lacking? we have talked to a range of women and girls from _ lacking? we have talked to a range of women and girls from all- lacking? we have talked to a range of women and girls from all sorts l lacking? we have talked to a range | of women and girls from all sorts of communities across the country and to those _ communities across the country and to those organisations that

here with strictly fitness, dr oscar is talking about bell's palsy and so much more. see you at 9:15! time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. hello, good morning, this is bbc london, i'm frankie mccamley. the police watchdog has said they didn't find what they call a non—police issue gun in the area or in the car where a 24—year—old man was fatally shot by police in streatham on monday. chris kaba died after a police car chase. the 24—year—old's family has claimed the shooting was "totally racist and criminal". it is totally racist and criminal.

and we want all the community, especially the community to seek this is a racist case. the independent office for police conduct says mr kaba's car was stopped after an automatic number plate recognition camera indicated the vehicle was linked to a firearms incident a few days earlier. a terminally ill mother from east london says she must chose between paying for a funeral and heating her home. kelly casey, from hackney, was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumour in 2015. she says she's seen her energy bills rise 80% to more than £3,500. it is hard. it's hard to think that i even have to sit down this and think about that rubbish, with what else rubbish is going through my head right now. but in terms of priorities, it's not mine. i need gas, i need heating. if i'm alive after november, we'll talk about the bill.

energy costs are a real concern for many people. on our progamme tonight at 6.30 we'll be speaking to an expert in how to potentially reduce your costs. do get in touch with any questions. now let's take a look at what going on on tfl services this morning. now the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. it was another mild and quite thundery night for some last night, plenty of thunderstorms. this is one captured out in watford from weather watcher watford weather. for this morning, we have got further showers. it's a bit misty in one or two spots as those showers last night cleared. however more showers feeding up from the south. again, could be quite breezy for a time, but through the afternoon a bit lighter so those showers are little more slow—moving. temperatures, 20 or 21 celsius. some sunny spells between those showers but again we could get some rumbles of thunder. overnight tonight, those showers will gradually clear. again the risk of some

mist and fog forming. as we head through tomorrow, you can see the low pressure just starts to move eastwards. the windfalls a bit lighter, mist and fog clearing in the morning. we will see further showers through the course of friday. perhaps a little bit drier by the end of the day. but if you get the showers on friday, they are going to be slower to get out of the way, that wind a little lighter. temperatures tomorrow at 20 celsius. as we head into the weekend, that low pressure drifts east. we are dragging in warmer air from the south so temperatures getting a little warmer and it should be a little drier. still the risk of a shower on saturday. that's it from me, i'm back in an hour. hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. as we've been discussing this morning, the new prime minister, liz truss, will set out her plan to tackle the energy crisis later today. she says her proposals will help

people and businesses with soaring bills. hannah is in newcastle to find out what residents there are hoping to hear. . good morning. from this cafe in the centre of newcastle where people have been coming in all morning to get their morning coffee, tom and natalie over here working really hard, good morning to both of you. businesses like this are not covered by the energy price cap as it stands at the moment, and it's not entirely clear what support they will be getting from the government when we hear about it later this morning. it's thought there could be some kind of reduction in the unit rate that they pay for their electricity to bring down their bills. there has been a lot more focus on what the government is going to do about household bills, and there it is thought that liz truss may decide to

cap the unit rate that electricity companies are allowed to challenge so the typical bill will be £2500, £500 more than the limit at the moment. it would not be anywhere nearas moment. it would not be anywhere near as high as the £3500 which had been predicted from next month. how does the government planned to do that? it is thought there could be a pot of money that the energy suppliers, things like npower and scottishpower, could use to pay for the high wholesale cost of energy to the high wholesale cost of energy to the producers like bp and shell but they do not have to pass that to us in our bills. it's not entirely clear how long the support could last for but it's thought it could cost the government more than £100 billion. that is a very rough figure and its expected it will be paid for

by borrowing. what do people here in and around newcastle think about all of that? i have been speaking to some of them. as a new wave of policies to tackle the energy crisis sweeps into view, people in whitley bay are on the lookout for a permanent solution to the surge in their bills. the concern is for me sons, because they work hard and now when their bills are going up and up, it frightens you. we've just come off a fixed price tariff and i'm waiting for my first monthly bill to see what the difference is. obviously, we're trying to be very cautious with what we use in the house, trying to do things a little bit differently. do you welcome the idea of energy bills being frozen or limited to some extent this winter? well, frozen, but we are going to be paying for them in the long term. what do you think the government should announce? what would you like to see? i would like to see them put a tax on the energy companies instead | of putting the burden back on the taxpayer. - at this fish and chip shop, it's business that's

being battered by rising costs. with no cap on their energy bill, it's set to double in a couple of months' time. we've been told the prices i'm paying at the minute are roughly around about £18,000 per year. they're going up to around about £36—38,000. it's the cheapest quotes that i can find. the prices being quoted arejust ridiculous at the minute. what does that mean for you as a business if they go up like that? if they go up like that it's going to be a case of people having unfortunately be made redundant. what would you like to hear from the government? we need support and notjust till january or february, but for the coming year and a half, two years. at this food bank in newcastle, the demand for help has been rising for months. stephen had no choice but to walk for nearly an hour to get here today. he tells advisors he had to retire due to ill health after 49 years of work. i went three, four days with nothing to eat. it was two crisp sandwiches a day.

he said, "you can't live on that." you were living on two crisp sandwiches a day? and staff here say they're seeing more working families in need of support. even if the government decided to freeze the prices where they are right now, even if we didn't have the october rise, do you think a lot of the people you see, would they still be struggling? yeah, because the prices are already unaffordable for all of our clients at the minute. come the winter, even if the cap doesn't rise, the amount that they are spending on fuel is still going to rise because not everyone's paying on a pro rata direct debit. people have got key and card makers and they're paying for what they use. and that's only going to go through the roof as it gets colder. i think probably there's going to be a lot more deaths this winterjust based on the fact that people aren't going to be able to nourish themselves properly, they're not going to have a substantial diet, and they're not going to be able to heat their homes to a degree

that keeps them warm. as people here wait for what they expect is going to be a difficult winter ahead, they're looking to the government to stem their anxiety and the tide of rising bills. you own a cheese manga in newcastle, how have your costs changed? lantigen you own a cheese manga in newcastle, how have your costs changed?- how have your costs changed? when i o-ened how have your costs changed? when i o ened two how have your costs changed? when i opened two years _ how have your costs changed? when i opened two years ago, _ how have your costs changed? when i opened two years ago, my _ how have your costs changed? when i opened two years ago, my any - how have your costs changed? when i opened two years ago, my any costs | opened two years ago, my any costs per month or £250 which was known it —— manageable, next week is 2500. so -- manageable, next week is 2500. so it —— manageable, next week is 2500. so it has gone up ten times in two years? it has gone up ten times in two ears? . it has gone up ten times in two ears? , . , , ., , years? yes, in the last six months, es. is years? yes, in the last six months, yes- is there _ years? yes, in the last six months, yes. is there anything _ years? yes, in the last six months, yes. is there anything at _ years? yes, in the last six months, yes. is there anything at all - years? yes, in the last six months, yes. is there anything at all you i yes. is there anything at all you can do with _ yes. is there anything at all you can do with that _ yes. is there anything at all you can do with that in _ yes. is there anything at all you can do with that in mind, - yes. is there anything at all you can do with that in mind, to - yes. is there anything at all you i can do with that in mind, to reduce the amount of energy that you use? but really, is a cheese manga i have six fridges and —— as a cheesemongor, the latest the thing i can do is just

thrashed 4—1 by napoli in their opening match. it was a bad night too for rangers, also conceding four on their return to the stage amongst europe's elite, but there was some british success thanks to tottenham. our sports correspondent andy swiss rounds up the action. liverpool's champions league campaign began in naples and in utter calamity. handball byjames milner, penalty to napoli, which piotr zielinski coolly converted. and with barely 15 minutes gone, another penalty after a foul by virgil van dijk. and while this time goalkeeper allison came to liverpool's rescue, it proved only the briefest of reprieves. andre—frank zambo anguissa making it 2—0 before on the brink of half—time, guess what? liverpool can't defend it, 3—0. napoli were in dreamland. liverpool were in tatters. surely it couldn't get any worse? oh, yes, it could. zielinski with number four, much to the home fans' glee. and while luis diaz pulled one back, it was scant consolation. a 4—1 defeat for liverpool.

jurgen klopp's poor start to the season just got a whole lot worse. tottenham, meanwhile, were up against marseille and after the french side had a man sent off, spurs grabbed their chance. two late headers from richarlison giving spurs a 2—0 victory. at rangers, well, after 12 years away, their return to the champions league group stage proved a painful one. that is absolutely sensational. mohammed kudus's goal the highlight of the 4—0 win for ajax. after such a long wait for rangers, a long night. andy swiss, bbc news. what's going at liverpool then? the defeat continues the worrying start to the season forjurgen klopp's side. they've only won twice in their first seven games so far. it's not like we have to reinvent a new kind of football. we always try to improve but in this moment obviously everybody would be happy if we just could play similar stuff to what we used to play, let me say it like this. and tonight that was the,

the least compact performance i saw for a long, long time. chelsea will continue their search for a new manager today with graham potter leading the race to replace thomas tuchel. the up and coming english manager is currently at brighton who sit fourth in the table, afterjust one defeat in their opening six matches. brighton have given potter permission to talk to chelsea about the vacancy. it might be a chilly start for some golfers on the green at the pga championship this morning and relationships might be a bit frosty off it too, as the tournament sees players competing from the controversial saudi—funded liv series. rory mcilroy, who's just teed off in his opening round at wentworth, is one of those who's been critical of the golfers who've joined the rebel tour and says they shouldn't be allowed to play in this tournament. there's been a classic match and a late finish at the us open, where spanish teenage sensation carlos alcaraz has

reached the semifinals, but he was made to work for it under the lights in new york. alcaraz trailed italy's jannik sinner by two sets to one but 19—year—old fought back to win the match, which lasted five hours and 18 minutes. as the spaniard reached the semifinals for the very first time — with the timejust before 3am in new york! if you're a top level athlete you have to read situations quickly and make split—second decisions. thankfully, that was something australian pole vaulter nina kennedy was able to do when she got her pole vaultjump all wrong. instead she showed off her gymnastic ability too, flipping elegantly onto the soft landing. much better doing that than getting it wrong in mid air! she looked like she was going to get marked for that! you sign it out,

a nontraditional, nonfiction, immersive experience. not a biography because they have been so many books and documentaries including the brilliant five years series on bbc about david. i wanted to offer the experience of bowie. david is hard to pin down and hard to define, and in fact i think it is best tojust let him to define, and in fact i think it is best to just let him tell his story and experience it.— best to just let him tell his story and experience it. when you say he is very hard — and experience it. when you say he is very hard to _ and experience it. when you say he is very hard to pin _ and experience it. when you say he is very hard to pin down _ and experience it. when you say he is very hard to pin down and - is very hard to pin down and defined. _ is very hard to pin down and defined, you do tell the story of people — defined, you do tell the story of people just trying to figure out who zi- -y people just trying to figure out who ziggy stardust was, who david bowie was, what _ ziggy stardust was, who david bowie was, what his intention was, you cannot— was, what his intention was, you cannot pin — was, what his intention was, you cannot pin it— was, what his intention was, you cannot pin it down. so it's almost like the _ cannot pin it down. so it's almost like the way— cannot pin it down. so it's almost like the way of telling this story, there _ like the way of telling this story, there is— like the way of telling this story, there is the evidence, make of it what _ there is the evidence, make of it what you — there is the evidence, make of it what you will. in itself, i think, is guitem _ what you will. in itself, i think, is quite... how did you not become personally— is quite... how did you not become personally involved in that? you would _ personally involved in that? you would have gone through hours, hundreds—

this place that had been eluding him. and i think from that vantage point, he was able to produce some of his greatest work after he met iman, are the and all the way through to black star. if iman, are the and all the way through to black star.- iman, are the and all the way through to black star. if you ever met him, through to black star. if you ever met him. and _ through to black star. if you ever met him, and i— through to black star. if you ever met him, and i didn't, _ through to black star. if you ever met him, and i didn't, i- through to black star. if you ever i met him, and i didn't, i interviewed a lot of people but never him, he is one of those people that you would say, i once met david bowie and everyone will say what was he like? he is one of those people, an absolute fascination. maybe if you didn't particularly like the music. because he had so much about him, he had a real pool. because he had so much about him, he had a real pool-— had a real pool. david had an endless curiosity. _ had a real pool. david had an endless curiosity. and - had a real pool. david had an endless curiosity. and he - had a real pool. david had an| endless curiosity. and he was had a real pool. david had an - endless curiosity. and he was always present. people ask me, what was the greatest discovery that i found in the vault? and people see in the movie, there is thejean genie with jeff beck, and else got is mind

put on a song which was recorded in 1969. and in it, at the crescendo of the sun, he sings, i want to live, i want to live, i want this is bbc news with the latest headlines. liz truss will unveil plans to limit energy bill rises later this morning, liz truss will unveil plans to limit energy bill rises later this morning, spending billions to protect people from soaring prices. we aim to be providing absolute clarity as to the cost of energy, in a way which will give households the ability to budget sensibly and on the basis of known facts, which is what people are crying out for. i am live in derby. one of the birthplaces of the industrial revolution, but now this city in _ industrial revolution, but now this city in the — industrial revolution, but now this city in the east midlands is struggling to pay its energy bills.
