how did you watch the funeral? i want to hear your stories of this historic day — you can tweet me... volodymyr zelensky says speed is of the essence to take back territory and russian forces are clearly panicking. the inquest into the death of 14—year—old molly russell has begun. after her death, her family found she had been exposed to large amounts of harmful material on social media. a man has beenjailed for ten months for his part in the disorder in leicester at the weekend involving young men from the muslim and hindu communities.

good morning and welcome. prime minister liz truss is to set out her government's agenda as uk politics resumes following the queen's funeral. the prime minister will promise to match spending on military support for ukraine next year during a trip to meet world leaders in new york today. mps will return to parliament tomorrow — and business secretary jacob rees—mogg is expected to set out government's energy support package for businesses. on thursday, heath secretary and deputy prime minister therese coffey is due to make an announcement about her plan for the nhs this winter. and a mini—budget, described as a "fiscal event" to outline the government's economic plans, will take place on friday. earlier on bbc breakfast, the culture secretary, michelle donelan, was asked for more details on the announcements expected this week. one of our first steps as a government, obviously, before the news about the queen, was to have a statement in relation to the energy price guarantee,

which means that consumers can be assured that at least £1,000 will be... their energy bills will be reduced by at least £1,000 based on what it would have otherwise been had we not acted. and we also said that we will be supporting businesses. so the energy price guarantee for consumers is for two years. we've guaranteed that we'll be doing similar for businesses for up to six months, and then we will be offering additional tailored support and the details of that will be announced by the business secretary this week, in fact. so they'll be getting that clarity because i agree with you. i understand completely why they want that clarity and assurance as we head towards the colder months. for those businesses, six months doesn't give them much security and doesn't allow them to plan much. i mean, business is within your own remit of culture. if you're a theatre or museum ora nightclub ora pub, you need more than six months�* help potentially, don't you? what do you say to them who say, you know, help us like you're

helping households? yeah, well, exactly. so six months gets you through the winter, the coldest period of time and the period of time where you will need lights on more, and your use of energy will increase. but as i said a moment ago, the business secretary will be outlining more detail on this because after six months, we have acknowledged to your point that many companies and public sector organisations will need additional support. and that's why we want to work up a tailored package to target that support and make sure that that support is really the correct support. and we'll be doing that in conjunction with businesses and different sectors over the coming weeks. and the business secretary, i'm sure, will outline a little bit more detail on this. the prime minister, liz truss, expected to announce a bit later today that she will be pledging billions more support to ukraine in the months ahead. to people watching this morning who say can we as a country afford to give that level of support when our businesses and households

are struggling with the cost of living, what do you say? i would say we can't afford not to. it's fundamental that we stand up for democracy across the globe, that we lead by example and encourage other companies, countries to do it. we can't continue with this situation where putin is literally blackmailing the world, which is resulting in energy prices going up, affecting our citizens in this country, too. so what we're saying is that next year, we will be spending at least as much in military support as we have done this year to help the nation of ukraine. and i, for one, i'm proud of britain's record of standing up for democracy and standing up for the people of ukraine. i think it's spot on and we should definitely be continuing to do this. and i would urge every other nation to follow our example. i'm joined by our chief political correspondent nick eardley. good morning to you. let's pick up with that trip by the prime minister to new york and their pledge on ukraine is going to be significant,

something liz truss will focus on. there is promising for her in respect of this trip is the idea of a trade deal with the us, suggestions from the prime minister that there will not be as much progress on this as she would have hoped? fir progress on this as she would have ho ed? ., , ., progress on this as she would have hoed? ., , ., ., hoped? or any at all in the medium-term _ hoped? or any at all in the medium-term because - hoped? or any at all in the | medium-term because she hoped? or any at all in the - medium-term because she has told medium—term because she has told reporters overnight there are notable dogs going on with the united states at the moment about a trade deal. she doesn't think they are likely to start again in the short or medium term. potentially several years before those talks even get going again. that is pretty significant because remember, the deal with the united states on trade was something borisjohnson talked about. when he was in government. it is something some brexit supporters thought could be a big dividend of leaving the european union but under president biden, it's looked increasingly less likely to happen

soon and the new prime minister has said overnight that she just doesn't see it getting going anytime soon. there's that. liz truss will want to talk a lot more i think when she is in new york at the united nations, about ukraine, that is the thing she wants to get on the front foot about by pledging all this extra cash next year, saying the military eight in 23 will match whatever the uk is spending in 22, and tells us a couple of things, the uk government sees its commitment to ukraine as a long—term one. secondly, liz truss wants to remind us all that it's a priority of this government, it wasn'tjust borisjohnson, who is going to talk about helping ukraine in its war with russia but that her government will pick up that mantle as well and she is absolutely committed to that funding. meanwhile here in the uk. _ committed to that funding. meanwhile here in the uk, a _ committed to that funding. meanwhile here in the uk, a lot _ committed to that funding. meanwhile here in the uk, a lot of _ committed to that funding. meanwhile here in the uk, a lot of focus - committed to that funding. meanwhile here in the uk, a lot of focus on - here in the uk, a lot of focus on

big announcements coming over the next few days and a lot of expectation around given the promises when the prime minister during her leadership campaign and the focus on the word delivery. absolutely and we had expected a policy blitz from liz truss and her team when she became prime minister. 0bviously everything was derailed by the death of the queen but i think over the next few days, we will get the launch that never was of the big policy plans so tomorrow, we will get the business support to help businesses with the soaring cost of energy. it will not be as long—term as their household support that was announced a couple of weeks ago. but i think it will be broadly similar in scope and then on thursday, the government will announce some plans on its other big priority which is helping the health service. we know the new health secretary therese

coffey has talked about getting waiting times down, getting the backlog, making sure ambulances are available so she has set herself quite a high bar when it comes to getting the nhs back on track. probably the biggest day when it comes to domestic politics this week will be the fiscal event from the new chancellor kwasi karteng. the point at which he will deliver, we are told, those promises that were made by liz truss to cut tax in the form of national insurance contributions, to cancel the increase in corporation tax, all of this will be really significant because it shows us what the economic strategy of the new prime minister is. basically to cut tax and regulation to try and boost economic growth. i've got to say kwasi karteng believes that is absolutely the best plan. there are many others who think it's a potentially quite risky strategy. labour for example say that tax cuts should be aimed at those who need

them the most but on friday, we are going to see that economic strategy set out. remember, the backdrop for this new government when it comes to the economy, pretty daunting, isn't it? . ~ , the economy, pretty daunting, isn't it? y a , , it? nick ridley in westminster, thank yom _ the royal family will observe another week of mourning service yesterday evening, which was attended just by close family. it followed a state funeral on a scale not seen for six decades. danjohnson has been looking back at the day. what are we to make of such shared sorrow? beneath the turning leaves of windsor�*s long walk, her late majesty's coffin passed

to the place she called home, and where she was laid to rest. a reign at its end, and the culmination of ten days of collective grief. so as the public gaze finally yields, how shall we reflect on this long procession of mourning? earlier on, the music got me, some of the tunes. yeah. and now ijust feel a blubbering wreck. but i suppose it's good to let it out. emotional, difficult. i must say i had a lump in my throat. i can quite happily say that i did feel very emotional about it and it was hard. i think it's quite special that we still have this as a country. - the pomp and ceremony is something really special that we have _ here in the uk and i think it's- something that we should continue to have, something quite special. it doesn't happen anywhere else, does it? we're so lucky.

this was the grandest occasion britain could stage. from westminster hall, pulled by royal navy sailors, just the short distance across parliament square. and a reminder, here is a family's grief in full public glare. the crisp morning light of westminster abbey fell on a congregation of global leaders and generations of royals. the eyes of the world watched a solemn service of thanksgiving, in high praise and rousing hymns. big ben tolls. then the slow march resumed. down whitehall, with military precision and remembrance.

she was our boss. i was really proud to serve for her, you know? she was everything. everything we did, it was hms, her majesty's ship. everything. she was just brilliant. a true leader. i always looked up to her. but it's when i met her that i realised what kind of a lady she was. and to me, it was, it was family. you know, knowing that she really did care for her, you know, for her, her people and her country. they filled the length of the mall and further, knowing the bedrock of so much for so long has gone. and now we, the new elizabethans, will take our place in history's endless procession. by the time she reached windsor, thousands were waiting to pay homage, as were these two.

muick and sandy. of course, this is first and foremost about sadness, respect and giving thanks for the queen herself and her life of service. but then there's so much more going on here because it's raised so many deeper emotions in so many different people. and whether you support the monarchy or you don't, this is undoubtedly a significant moment in our civic life. i think it's hugely important. i mean, how often do you get to see history unfolding in front of your eyes, and such an incredible role model as well? i know for a long time he'll talk about it and i hope when he's older he'll be able to talk about the queen to his children, too. i didn't expect this amount of people to be here and it reminds me, i lost my mum about three years ago and it brings back the memory of that. and then everybody coming together. and uniting in friendships forged

in this time of queues and crowds. i think it's an absolute moment in history. i think it's pivotal. i don't think we'll ever see the like of this again. she was a very, very special queen, human, mother, grandmother. and it felt appropriate to be here to pay respects. the way it's seamlessly run, all of the events, how the royal family have managed the last few days, so professional and really feel for them. it must have been so, so difficult. but, you know, it makes you proud to be british. in st george's chapel, the last rites of monarchy were performed in ancient ceremony. there are now new passages in the story of this kingdom. but in leaving elizabeth ii finally to her family, we're gently closing an entire volume of our rich and treasured history.

danjohnson, bbc news, windsor. a reminder that we would like to hearfrom a reminder that we would like to hear from you today getting your reflections on the past ten days and the state funeral yesterday. you can contact me on twitter to share all of your reflections. 0ur correspondent charlotte gallagherjoins us from windsor. good morning. the period of national mourning micro—is ended but the period of mourning for the royal family continues.— period of mourning for the royal family continues. absolutely. you can imagine _ family continues. absolutely. you can imagine them _ family continues. absolutely. you can imagine them waking - family continues. absolutely. you can imagine them waking up - family continues. absolutely. you can imagine them waking up this i can imagine them waking up this morning and breathing a sigh of relief because the grief has been on public display, especially king

charles. since his mother died, he has barely had any time off, he has been meeting well—wishers, travelling around the uk, meeting politicians and then he had a reception for world leaders. the list is endless. all the while, grieving for his mother. when we saw him around the coffin, standing vigil, the camera is focused on him, people walking past him and looking at him and now this is a time for the family to grieve in private, behind closed doors, take some time and i am sure it is much needed. looking at what they were doing, to me, it looked exhausting. they were pretty much nonstop from the moment the queen died right up until yesterday. the queen died right up until yesterday-— the queen died right up until esterda . , ., ., , yesterday. there is going to be so much reflection, _ yesterday. there is going to be so much reflection, i _ yesterday. there is going to be so much reflection, ithink— yesterday. there is going to be so much reflection, i think it's - yesterday. there is going to be so much reflection, i think it's fair i much reflection, i think it's fair to say. 0n the past ten days and especially on the funeral yesterday which so many people watched or got involved in in queueing to view the coffin as wet —— at westminster

from herself and also her mother. charlotte, thank you so much. some breaking news. the european court of human rights has ruled against the parents of madeline mccann, kate and gerry mccann, saying portugal did give them a fair hearing in the libel case against a former portuguese policeman. the officer who had worked in the investigation into the disappearance of their daughter from the resort of praia do loosh in 2007 suggested in a book he wrote which was published a year later, that the parents had been involved, they had taken a libel case against him. he was judged to have had a right to free speech and then kate and gerry mccann took the case to the european court of human rights. but it has ruled this morning against them saying that

portugal did give them a fair hearing in their original libel case against a former police officer. the ukrainian president volodymyr zelensky, has said speed is of the essence as his country continues to take back territory from russian forces. mr zelensky repeated his request for more military aid from ukraine's partners. meanwhile, ukraine accused russia of shelling a second nuclear power plant, this time in the mykolaiv region. dr 0lena pareniuk is a senior researcher from institute for safety problems of nuclear power plants of national academy of sciences of ukraine. thank you forjoining us. it is your job to investigate what happens after a disaster at a nuclear power plant. could you tell us how close these recent explosions near power plants, how closely these have

brought us to another nuclear disaster? . ~ brought us to another nuclear disaster? ., ~ , ., ., ., disaster? thank you for having me. yes, disaster? thank you for having me. yes. indeed. _ disaster? thank you for having me. yes, indeed, it— disaster? thank you for having me. yes, indeed, it is— disaster? thank you for having me. yes, indeed, it is my _ disaster? thank you for having me. yes, indeed, it is my job— disaster? thank you for having me. yes, indeed, it is my job to - yes, indeed, it is myjob to investigate that. when the shelling occurred, three power lines that connect the south ukraine power plant with the ukrainian grid, they were down on emergency but then they were down on emergency but then they were back online. it is quite dangerous because we really need electricity supply to power up the water pumps that are cooling the reactor. so this situation when the shelling around the nuclear power plant occurs is not normal at all. and it is one step towards a nuclear accident we would really like to avoid. ., , ., ., ., avoid. your focus at the moment are some possible _ avoid. your focus at the moment are some possible disruption _ avoid. your focus at the moment are some possible disruption to - avoid. your focus at the moment are some possible disruption to the - some possible disruption to the electricity supply. are we to take from that that you think actually we were not close to a nuclear disaster?—

to ensure the safety of those reactors?— to ensure the safety of those reactors? , ., .., , reactors? yes, of course. the nuclear power _ reactors? yes, of course. the nuclear power plant _ reactors? yes, of course. the nuclear power plant is - reactors? yes, of course. the nuclear power plant is on - reactors? yes, of course. the - nuclear power plant is on ukrainian —controlled territory and all of the safeguard systems is working fine on south ukrainian power plant, so we can be sure that right now the nuclear power plant operates normally and it provides electricity to ukraine on dulcimer provides all of the necessary information to the international atomic energy agency. the risk is clearly huge but you can see why president zelensky says it's metres of the essence and he wants to try and make good on recent gains because the more the ukrainian troops can do that, the more assured hopefully the rest of the world will be that we are not going to see another chernobyl, for example? well, we are saying that what russia

is doing right now is nuclear terrorism and that is why our president is also asking western partners to send us more air defence units, and weapons. as all of the other are not on the front line so the strike is the main danger that they could be possessed to so that is why the air defence of the territory is really crucial to prevent a situation like chernobyl or fukushima.— an inquest begins today into the death of molly russell. she was just 1a years old when she took her own life in 2017. after her death, her family found large amounts of graphic material about self—harm and suicide on her social media accounts. herfather ian then became a high profile campaigner for online child safety, forcing instagram into a promise to remove the most harmful content.

executives from both meta which owns instagram — and the picture sharing site pinterest — have been ordered by the coroner to give evidence in person at her inquest, which is expected to last two weeks. 0ur correspondent angus crawford has more. looking for answers — still. hoping an inquest may provide some. today, ian's meeting the family's legal team. hello? it's ian russell to seejess and oliver. it contains some material that i'm sure is going to be very upsetting. tens of thousands of documents — molly's life on social media. there was just no let—up for molly. this is relentless. pictures, drawings and posts — some too graphic to show. she said to us in her notes that she was sorry and... ..that she loved us. and somehow we...

..kept her alive for so long. and i didn't quite understand it until now. but i think i... i'm beginning to know what she means. since molly's death, ian's campaigned to make social media safer... i remember my disbelief when i saw my lifeless youngest daughter. that moment, my old life stopped. ..telling her story, pushing debate. it's devastating. and they should live up to their words. he says the tech companies could be doing much more to make their platforms safe — and others agree. ian has been absolutely magnificent because, you know, from the very beginning he's actually sort of put his loss, his pain and his agony into trying to make sure that this doesn't happen to other families.

and in a way, it's a david—and—goliath story, isn't it? so nearly five years after molly's death, her inquest will finally take place here. hugely important for her family, of course — it will also be closely watched at westminster and in silicon valley. not looking forward to it at all. that...glimpse into someone we still love so dearly, into...the anguish... ..she was feeling. but i think and i hope that we will learn lessons and that it will help produce the change that's needed to keep people safe. to keep people alive. angus crawford, bbc news. if you've been affected by the issues raised in that report, you can find help and support at bbc.co.uk/actionline

ajudge in the united states has quashed the conviction of a baltimore man in a murder case which gave rise to the "true crime" podcast, serial. he ordered that adnan syed, who's been in prison for more than 20 years for the murder of his former girlfriend, hae min lee, be placed under house arrest until prosecutors decide whether to try him again or release him. the podcast raised doubts about his conviction. this report from our north america correspondent, david willis. cheering, screaming. adnan syed allowed himselfjust the faintest of smiles as he left court after 23 years in jail. his supporters have long maintained his innocence, yet every appeal over the course of the last two decades has been denied. adnan syed was found guilty of strangling his former high school sweetheart, hae min lee, and burying her body

in a shallow grave. she was 18 at the time of her death, he was 17. and were it not for one of the foremost true—crime podcasts, mr syed might have been destined to spend the rest of his life behind bars. the most popular podcast in the world at the time, serial not only focused worldwide attention on the case, but raised serious questions about the validity of his conviction — doubts prosecutors in mr syed's home town of baltimore came to share when they set about re—examining the evidence. at their behest, a judge has now overturned his conviction, and released him pending the completion of the new inquiry. there were gasps and applause in the courtroom as the judge gave the order for mr syed's shackles to be removed. through our review, our re—investigation revealed that the original prosecutors and the subsequent prosecutors in the attorney general�*s office

failed to disclose relevant information about alternative suspects — one of whom threatened to kill the victim, and had motive to kill the victim, and both of whom had a pattern of violence against women. prosecutors are waiting on the outcome of new dna tests using technology that was unavailable at the time of the trial. but if he didn't kill hae min lee, then who did? this re—examination of the evidence more than two decades after her death has left the victim's family feeling betrayed. the way the state's attorney's office acted in this case is just inexcusable. they knew about this for more than a year, it was clear from their conduct they absolutely did not want to afford this victim any meaningful opportunity to address this motion. my clients, all they wanted was information. they want the truth to come out. mobbed as he walked free for the first time in 23 years, adnan syed has been released on home detention. baltimore prosecutors now have 30 days in

which to charge him — again — with hae min lee's murder, or set him free. david willis, bbc news, washington. it is time now for a look at the weather forecast with carol. we have had some mist and fog around, but that is lifting quite rapidly, and it will be a dry day with bright or sunny intervals. the exception is across the north and the west, where we have drizzly outbreaks of rain, and more of a breeze here as well. for most of us, the breeze is going to be light, 1a in the north, 19 as we sweep further south. through this evening and overnight, the cloud will continue to melt away, and with breezes, that is a recipe for mist and fog patches

the city of izyum. the whole world has seen the wooden crosses, the unidentified bodies. families are still waiting for the information to be public. so 2a/7, a special team, including international specialist, is working on the ground. that is why we need more dna tests, more specific items and equipment for identifying bodies, and even in bucha we still have issues with those bodies that have not been identified. the whole world has seen the blue and yellow bracelet, a man who served next to izyum and tiptoe defending our territories, and now his family are left with few kids. —— izyum and kharkiv. we are now witnessing that around 80—90% of

different infrastructure was completely destroyed, not only in izyum, but other villages and towns. but on the other hand, we understand, as president zelensky says, we will reconstruct everything. now humanitarian operations are ongoing, it is up to us as parliamentarians to go and deploy everything that is needed, medicine, food, clothes, sleeping bags, because in some areas we are still restoring electricity and gas supply. it still restoring electricity and gas su -l . , still restoring electricity and gas su .l _ , ., , still restoring electricity and gas su -l . , . , ., supply. it is a huge... it is a huge task with clearly _ supply. it is a huge... it is a huge task with clearly many, _ supply. it is a huge... it is a huge task with clearly many, many - supply. it is a huge... it is a huge i task with clearly many, many facets to it. we have been reporting today that the uk prime minister, liz truss, saying that next year the uk will match the aid it has already given to ukraine. how welcome is that? and given that president

zelensky is saying that the pace of aid needs to match the pace of progress in regaining territory, is that enough?— progress in regaining territory, is that enough? well, you know, we alwa s that enough? well, you know, we always can _ that enough? well, you know, we always can ask— that enough? well, you know, we always can ask for _ that enough? well, you know, we always can ask for more _ that enough? well, you know, we always can ask for more funds, i that enough? well, you know, we i always can ask for more funds, that is a very clear understanding. we should operate in a very efficient way with all the military aid that was deployed for us, with all the humanitarian aid that was given to ukraine. the uk stays on our side, stays on the good course of history, and we are so thankful for your government and the statement of liz truss confirming that uk willjoin those countries supporting us, because the paramount crime of aggression which was committed by putin and his closest counterparts on the political and military level should not have impunity. that is why we will follow the procedures,

as you have rightly said, the pace of liberalisation has to have the same speed in the aid, and i think the uk is here, for sure. bind same speed in the aid, and i think the uk is here, for sure.— the uk is here, for sure. and is significant _ the uk is here, for sure. and is significant evidence, _ the uk is here, for sure. and is significant evidence, do - the uk is here, for sure. and is significant evidence, do you i the uk is here, for sure. and is i significant evidence, do you think, when we talk about reports of russian forces panicking, is there sufficient evidence that that the counteroffensive from ukraine is making significant progress? yes. making significant progress? yes, absolutely. _ making significant progress? yes, absolutely, and _ making significant progress? yes, absolutely, and i _ making significant progress? yes, absolutely, and i have _ making significant progress? yes, absolutely, and i have to - making significant progress? is: absolutely, and i have to site my friend who was serving in the battalion dealing with drones in the city of izyum, he is actually coming from there, so for him it was very emotional when his whole town was liberated. he said, maria, we definitely caught the russian army not as number two in the world, but number one in terms of how fast they run from us, they run away, trying to change their clothes into

civilian ones. they are so eager to be prisoners, to be exchanged, so basically the spirit of fighting is so low to the ground in the russian army right now, and this operation of liberation in the kharkiv region really managed to proceed with that. thank you very much for your time today. maria mezentseva, ukrainian mp, speaking to us about the discoveries in areas which have been recaptured from russian military forces. health officials in pakistan say they've seen an increase in waterborne diseases in the wake of the devastating floods that saw a third of the country submerged. the head of the world health organization warned of a double disaster if more isn't done to help. 0ur south asia correspondent rajini vaidyanathan reports. large swathes of pakistan remain under water. in sindh,

due to this spike in disease. officials say it could take many months for the water levels to recede. and so for families here, the uncertainty continues. they don't know whether or when they'll be able to return home. as well as facing the risk of disease, they're also dealing with a huge mental burden, living a life in limbo. many in these camps say they're struggling for the basics. the government says it's doing all it can to distribute aid. until then, all these families can do is wait. rajini vaidyanathan, bbc news, sindh province. the headlines on bbc news: liz truss is in new york on her first trip abroad as prime minister. she'll pledge at a un summit to match the £2.3 billion

your business and how many people you employ, for example.— you employ, for example. we are a family business, _ you employ, for example. we are a family business, we _ you employ, for example. we are a family business, we have _ you employ, for example. we are a family business, we have been i family business, we have been running for 33 years, having started in my front bedroom, and we have grown to now employ over 70 staff. we manufacture everything here in our offices and factory in suffolk, which we then supply our products around all the supermarkets across the uk, but also we export to four continents, including australia, southeast asia, usa. 50 continents, including australia, southeast asia, usa.— continents, including australia, southeast asia, usa. so you had been in business. — southeast asia, usa. so you had been in business. as— southeast asia, usa. so you had been in business, as you _ southeast asia, usa. so you had been in business, as you mention, - southeast asia, usa. so you had been in business, as you mention, for- southeast asia, usa. so you had been in business, as you mention, for 30 i in business, as you mention, for 30 years — have you ever had it as tough as you are having it now? lilo. tough as you are having it now? no, we have been _ tough as you are having it now? iifr, we have been through many issues over those years, recessions, we have been through many issues overthose years, recessions, major fires, and of course pandemics, but i think this is probably the most difficult period that we have been through since the early days of the business. �* ., , through since the early days of the business. �* . , ., ~ business. and what is making it, in our business. and what is making it, in your assessment, _ business. and what is making it, in your assessment, the _ business. and what is making it, in your assessment, the most - business. and what is making it, in | your assessment, the most difficult period? the sheer scale of the challenges faced? it is pretty multifaceted, there are economic

issues, but you are still recovering from the pandemic and so forth. why do you say that this particular period is the most challenging you have ever experienced? i period is the most challenging you have ever experienced?— period is the most challenging you have ever experienced? i think you are riaht, have ever experienced? i think you are right, because _ have ever experienced? i think you are right, because it _ have ever experienced? i think you are right, because it is _ are right, because it is multifaceted, there are many moving parts to this. we are seeing supply chain issues, we are seeing staffing issues, but probably at this point in time inflation is one of our biggest challenges. it is not that we are not used to inflation, of course in the early days of the business, it was more normal. but having gone through a period of eight or nine years when it has been very low inflation, during which time we didn't put our prices up because we were able to absorb the small increases with efficiencies and productivity, suddenly we are starting to get accelerating inflation, so we have had to put our prices up injanuary 7%, which was based on cost increases last year, and we are now looking to have to put up prices by 20% nextjanuary, because of rising costs, and i

include in that our chemicals, which is our key business. 0verall, they have gone up by more than 100% in the last 12 months. so have gone up by more than 10096 in the last 12 months.— the last 12 months. so way beyond an hinu the last 12 months. so way beyond anything you _ the last 12 months. so way beyond anything you can _ the last 12 months. so way beyond anything you can absorb _ the last 12 months. so way beyond anything you can absorb through i anything you can absorb through efficiencies or increased productivity, as you have done in the past. what kind of impact is this having on your business in terms of sales?— this having on your business in terms of sales? well, when we put our rice terms of sales? well, when we put our price increase _ terms of sales? well, when we put our price increase up _ terms of sales? well, when we put our price increase up in _ terms of sales? well, when we put our price increase up in january, i terms of sales? well, when we put our price increase up in january, a l our price increase up injanuary, a number of the retailers, and we are dealing with some quite inexperienced buyers, hadn't experienced inflation, and they simplyjust refused to take the price increases, and so we basically had a number of de—listings. in our first quarter, we dropped over £1 million in profit due to dropping sales, because of that relationship with some of the supermarkets. the big question, then, graham, what do you want to see, what do you want to hear from the government tomorrow, and what do you think the best strategy would be to deal with this?

well, our issues are dropping margins, we dropped 10% in our margins, we dropped 10% in our margins this year because we are putting our prices up retrospectively, so we are carrying increases through currently. and it is obviously hurting. i guess what we would like to see, probably, is support from the corporation tax point of view, national insurance, any help they can give on energy price increases as well, that is going to be very welcome. the problem is now, we are being hit now, ratherthan problem is now, we are being hit now, rather than the long issues. the long—term issues are going to be very different. just the long-term issues are going to be very different-— very different. just briefly on the ener: very different. just briefly on the energy bills. _ very different. just briefly on the energy bills. we _ very different. just briefly on the energy bills, we are _ very different. just briefly on the energy bills, we are hearing i very different. just briefly on the l energy bills, we are hearing about very different. just briefly on the i energy bills, we are hearing about a shorter period in terms of support for businesses, with the idea that it would be reviewed, say, after six months — would you like something that lasted longer than that to give you more certainty to work with? clearly it would help, but we have to take one stage at a time. we are

in turbulent times, so i understand from the government's point of view that they may need to take six months at a time, and i guess we would accept that. but there has to be a long—term plan as well for businesses. be a long-term plan as well for businesses.— be a long-term plan as well for businesses. , ., ,, , ., , businesses. grim, thank you very much for talking _ businesses. grim, thank you very much for talking to _ businesses. grim, thank you very much for talking to us _ businesses. grim, thank you very much for talking to us today, i much for talking to us today, director of challs international. good luck with your business. for a quarter of a century, robbie williams has been entertaining the world as a solo artist. to mark the milestone, he has released a brand—new album which has already broken records. it features some of his best loved hits from across the decades as you have never heard them before. he has been speaking to entertainment correspondent colin patterson. # so come on, let me entertain you. # let me entertain you... so, an album to celebrate 25 years of being a solo star.—

what made you want to revisit these songs with an orchestra? my management said that we should mark the anniversary of 25 years, because it's important to mark anniversaries. i was like, "all right, if you say so, 0k." and i understand now why you mark anniversaries — you get to look back and go, "maybe i was closer to what i wanted to achieve than i actually first thought." # no regrets. # they don't work. # no regrets now. # they only hurt... # and then, also, you get these incredibly talented people that play their instruments and form an orchestra, and then the orchestra gives these frequencies that are angelic and godlike, and it adds import to what could otherwise be throwaway pop records.

gravitas. gravitas! i've got gravitas on these records now, and...i'm worthy. # i guess the love we once had is officially... # undead. # but it sounds like, from going back and looking at the songs again, it has actually given you a real sense ofjoy. my big feeling is my best years professionally could have been from when i was 16 to 21, when i was in take that. # could it be magic now? # now and hold on fast # could this be the magic at last? # i know how brittle my ego is, and i know how fragile i am as a human being. and, you know, to be a "has been" or a "was what" or whatever it was that would have happened to me after take that — i'm incredibly grateful that the ship still goes forward. that's what. .. in short, i'm incredibly grateful —

that's what the anniversary has done for me. it almost didn't happen. # well, tonight i'm gonna live for today # so come along for the ride # i'm hope i'm old before i die... # life thru a lens came out september 1997. do you remember what number it entered at? four? 11! no way! you missed the top ten, and you were out the charts within four weeks. my god... that's terrifying. what did you feel at that time? call my dealer and go to groucho. that's what i was feeling at that time, to be honest with you, cos that's where i was at in the world. i was in a daze at the time. you know, iwas... i wasn't wondering about an awful lot. i knew i'd got angels in my back pocket. # she won't forsake me... # what are we doing? # i'm loving angels instead... #

the other huge thing was you playing glastonbury in 1998 — next year, the 25th anniversary of that. what about you for the legend slot? yeah, that'd be cool, actually — i'd like to do that. er... yeah, i'd like another go round on that stage and feel that audience and get the chance to do it, yeah. cos you've never been back. no, i've not, have i? never really been on my radar and, obviously, it's not been on their radar, either. but now i'm like, "yeah, i...want to do that." there's only one problem. what? spice girls say they want it. oh, really? the legend slot. mm! what about spice girls for next time? mel gasps. that is... oh, sorry. that's... that's how excited you are. that's how excited i am! you have smacked my mic with excitement. you know, it's the dream. really? _ it's the absolute dream. they sent an envoy this year — mel c was there. really? their wirral ambassador. er... yeah, no, then that... like, the spice girls trumps a robbie williams,

so maybe i'll have to wait. but you would like it one day. yeah, yeah. why would it mean so much to you? it is the epicentre of the music world for that we weekend. # through it all she offers me protection # a lot of love and affection # whether i'm right orwrong... # and everybody�*s watching, everybody�*s got their eyes on it. and that kind of thing doesn't exist these days, because music on tv has died a death, and music being a potent, viable thing that gets you to sit down on a thursday night at 7:00 for half an hour now doesn't exist. so, um, yeah, it's a big deal. cheering time to get the latest weather with

carol. for this week, many of us us will have a quiet week until the end of the week when we start to see some rain coming our way, and some of that will be heavy. some of us seeing rain at the moment, it is fairly light across the north and west of scotland. there is a lot of dry weather, some mist and fog this morning, the cloud is breaking, we will see some bright or sunny spells develop. breezy across the north west, light breezes elsewhere, temperatures 1a—19 . as we go through the rush hour tonight, still some rain across the north and west of scotland, for the rest of scotland, dry with bright or sunny intervals, and are dry and bright with sunny intervals across northern ireland and northern england. further south, the cloud is broken up, so a little bit more sunshine, but still areas of cloud here and there, and just a gentle breezes. through this evening and overnight, though, cloud breaking up even more,

and with light breezes that is a recipe for mist and fog patches to form. the rain turns a little bit heavier across the north and the north and west, and it winds strength and a touch more, not particularly cold for the time of year. so tomorrow, a lot of us will lose any mist and fog that is formed overnight quickly, a fair bit of sunshine around, fair weather cloud building through the course of the day, rain turning heavier in the north and west, and the wind gusting to about a0 mph, so that will knock the edge of the temperatures. temperatures tomorrow up to 20 or when you want degrees. an outside chance you could see a shower in southern scotland. most will miss them all together. and as we head through thursday, a more active weather front comes our way, moving across scotland and northern ireland, into northern england and north west wales, bringing rain. randy weather front, it will be windy, but dropping out behind it. a dry and bright start across much of

england and wales when we lose the mist and fog. the front crosses northern ireland and scotland into northern england, and also wales, behind it brightening up, and the winds will drop away as well, but cloud building through the course of the day, temperatures 1a—20 . that weather front will continue south through england and wales during the course of friday, with some rain, dry and bright in scotland and northern ireland, cooler and quieter as we head through the weekend.
