say as well no guilt had been implied by the portuguese national courts in the previousjudgment. of course the couple were cleared having been for a short time made suspects and a german national who is currently serving time in prison in germany for separate offences has been named as an official suspect. we understand that the couple have three months now to appeal the case following the judgment that has been handed down this morning. has there been any immediate _ handed down this morning. has there been any immediate reaction - handed down this morning. has there been any immediate reaction from . been any immediate reaction from kate and gerry mccann? t been any immediate reaction from kate and gerry mccann?_ kate and gerry mccann? i haven't seen any reaction _ kate and gerry mccann? i haven't seen any reaction from _ kate and gerry mccann? i haven't seen any reaction from the - kate and gerry mccann? i haven'tl seen any reaction from the couple. obviously this has been a long—running legal saga and we know in may, the couple said it was essential they find out the truth about what had happened as they marked the 15th anniversary of the disappearance of their daughter and of course we will bring you any reaction as soon as we get that. jessica parker, in brussels, thank you.
10:04 am
the ukrainian president, volodymyr zelensky, has said the pace of aid from the country's partners should match the pace of the military advance in reclaiming territory. in his nightly address, he said russian forces were panicking, as ukraine claimed to have taken back a village in the east. ukraine has also accused russian forces of an attack near the country's second largest nuclear power plant. our correspondent hugo bachega is in the capital kyiv. the ukrainians are saying that a russian rocket struck an area near the reactors of this nuclear facility in the mykolaiv region in the south of the country. they have released a picture showing a huge craterjust 300 metres from one of the reactors. now, the nuclear operator here is saying that the reactors were not damaged. there was some damage to the buildings at this complex but the reactors were not hit. and no—one was injured. but again, the defence ministry here accusing russia of nuclear terrorism.
10:05 am
they say russia was behind it, behind this attack. they have released cctv footage showing the moment of this attack yesterday. we heard from the head of the international atomic energy agency rafael grossi who said that any military action that puts these facilities, nuclear facilities, at risk is unacceptable and must stop immediately. and obviously for weeks we have been talking about concerns about the zaporizhzhia nuclear complex, a nuclear facility that has been under russian occupation since the very beginning of the war. the ukrainians have accused the russians of turning it into a military base and this level of military activity obviously raises fears of a possible nuclear accident. and i think this latest incident will again renew concerns over the safety of ukraine's nuclear facilities.
10:06 am
the discovery of hundreds of graves in a region has caused alarm. we are witnessing numerous atrocities. we said it before when kyiv was liberated that there would be more atrocities happening in areas like ok. procedures are ongoing. the whole world has seen these wooden crosses, the unidentified bodies, families still waiting for the information to be made public. 21w, a special team
10:07 am
including international specialists is working on the ground and that's why we need more dna tests, more specific items and equipment for identifying bodies. i must stay in bucha, we still have issues with unidentified bodies. we have seen one body with a blue and yellow wooden bracelet, this was a man who bravely served, defending their territories and now his family is left along with a couple of kids and we are trying to fund raise for them and we are witnessing around 80—90% of different infrastructure was completely destroyed, in many villages and towns. but on the other hand, we understand and president zelensky says, we will reconstruct everything. the humanitarian
10:08 am
operations are ongoing. there have beenjoint efforts on operations are ongoing. there have been joint efforts on regional administrations and volunteers are trying to deploy everything which is needed, medicine, food, clothes, sleeping bags, because in some areas they are still restoring electricity and gas supplies. tt is they are still restoring electricity and gas supplies.— they are still restoring electricity and gas supplies. it is a huge task with clearly _ and gas supplies. it is a huge task with clearly many _ and gas supplies. it is a huge task with clearly many facets _ and gas supplies. it is a huge task with clearly many facets to - and gas supplies. it is a huge task with clearly many facets to it. - and gas supplies. it is a huge task with clearly many facets to it. we | with clearly many facets to it. we have been reporting today that the uk prime minister liz truss is saying next year, the uk will match the agent has already given to ukraine. —— match the aid. given that president zelensky says the pace of eight needs to match the pace of eight needs to match the pace of eight needs to match the pace of progress in regaining territory, is that enough? we always can make a — territory, is that enough? we always can make a revision _ territory, is that enough? we always can make a revision of— territory, is that enough? we always can make a revision of the _ territory, is that enough? we always can make a revision of the amount i territory, is that enough? we always| can make a revision of the amount of
10:09 am
funds dedicated and that is just a very clear understanding. we can operate in a very efficient way with all the military aid that was deployed for us, with all the humanitarian or it that was dedicated to ukraine. the uk stays on our site, on the good course of history and we are so thankful to the government and the statement of liz truss actually confirming that the uk willjoin those countries, supporting the international tribunal because the humanitarian aggression which was committed by vladimir putin and his closest counterpart should not have immunity and that is why we will follow the procedures, and as you have said, the pace of liberalisation has to have the same speed in the aid but i think the uk has done well here, to be sure. figs think the uk has done well here, to be sure. �* , , , be sure. as there is significant evidence when _ be sure. as there is significant

10:11 am
really managed to proceed with that. i've also been speaking to dr olena parrenew is a senior researcher from institute for safety problems of nuclear power plants of national academy of sciences of ukraine. i asked her how close these recent events around nuclear power plants have brought us to a nuclear disaster. of course we are worried. the show will protect — of course we are worried. the show will protect the reactor. we do not want _ will protect the reactor. we do not want a _ will protect the reactor. we do not want a scenario like we had in fukushima, in the south ukrainian nuclear_ fukushima, in the south ukrainian nuclear plant. as our energy system relies _ nuclear plant. as our energy system relies heavily on it. we are worried
10:12 am
about— relies heavily on it. we are worried about the — relies heavily on it. we are worried about the power lines and about the energy— about the power lines and about the energy supply units. so even the energy— energy supply units. so even the energy supply units. so even the energy supply units. so even the energy supply units and power lines will be _ energy supply units and power lines will be ruined. it will mean that the emergency shutdown of the reactor— the emergency shutdown of the reactor might occur and the melting of the _ reactor might occur and the melting of the core — reactor might occur and the melting of the core of the reactor also might— of the core of the reactor also might occurand we of the core of the reactor also might occur and we might experience the nuclear— might occur and we might experience the nuclear disaster as we have been talking _ the nuclear disaster as we have been talking about. and that is why ukraine — talking about. and that is why ukraine is— talking about. and that is why ukraine is asking our western partners — ukraine is asking our western partners to provide us more air defence — partners to provide us more air defence units to be able to protect the nuclear power plants as obviously, except the nuclear power plants _ obviously, except the nuclear power plants are _ obviously, except the nuclear power plants are not on the front line and the error— plants are not on the front line and the error strike is the highest danger— the error strike is the highest danger that at my face. the uk prime minister, liz truss, is in new york for her first overseas trip as prime minister. she will use a speech to the united nations general assembly to rally support for ukraine —
10:13 am
pledging billions of pounds of additional military aid next year. back in the uk, 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, the culture secretary, michelle donelan was asked if the uk could afford to send billions more support to ukraine in the coming months, given the current cost of living challenges — she said the uk couldn't afford not to. it's fundamental that we stand up for democracy across the globe, that we lead by example and encourage other countries to do it. we can't continue with a situation where putin is literally blackmailing the world, which is resulting in energy prices going up, affecting our citizens
10:14 am
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 am proud of britain's record of standing up for democracy and standing up for the people of ukraine and 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. our chief political correspondent, nick eardley gave us an update on the prime minister's visit to new york liz truss has told reporters overnight there are no talks 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
10:15 am
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 aid 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,
10:16 am
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, 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. obviously 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 the household support that was announced a couple of weeks ago.
10:17 am
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, dealing with 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.
10:18 am
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? many of the world world leaders who attended the queen's funeral are in new york today for the united nations general assembly. the major topic of discussion is likely to be ukraine — nada tawfik looks ahead to what we can expect in the coming days. on manhattan's east side, the start of the general assembly is synonymous with inescapable gridlock and heightened security. escorted by their lengthy motorcades, heads of state and government gather annually to make inroads on the toughest of issues.
10:19 am
this year, however, there is one impenetrable divide — the war in ukraine. it's the first time since the un's founding in the ashes of world war ii that europe is witnessing a major conflict. the un secretary general says this is a time of great peril as the west on one hand, and russia and china on the other, battle for dominance. geostrategic divides are the widest they have been since at least the cold war, and they are paralysing the global response to the dramatic challenges we face. our world is blighted by war, battered by climate chaos, scattered... scared by hate, and shamed by poverty, hunger and inequality. last year, ukraine's president, volodymyr zelensky, was still a relatively fresh face on the international stage. over seven months of war he's emerged as a respected statesman to many for standing up to president vladimir putin. those against...
10:20 am
after an overwhelming un vote, he will address delegates virtually in a pre—recorded video. it's an exception to the rule that leaders must speak in person. western officials plan to meet with ukraine's foreign minister who will be in town but have ruled out any diplomacy in new york with the russians. it is our firm belief that it cannot be business as usual with the russian federation. countries here, especially those from the global south, do not want the war in ukraine to completely overshadow other key issues. action on climate change has stalled, and the global food crisis has been made worse by the war. there'll be high level meetings on that and global health to tackle covid and monkeypox. meanwhile, the presidents of china and russia will not be attending. the un is billing this week as a chance to find transformative solutions, an ambitious goal given the current geopolitical divides. nada tawfik, bbc news, at the united nations in new york.
10:21 am
in the uk, the royal family will observe another week of mourning for queen elizabeth and are not expected to carry out any official engagements, at the request of king charles. the late monarch was laid to rest alongside her husband the duke of edinburgh during a private burial 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? how does this emotional response inform our understanding of who we are? 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
10:22 am
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. bagpipes skirl. this was the grandest occasion britain could stage. from westminster hall, pulled by royal navy sailors,
10:23 am
just the short distance across parliament square. and a reminder, here is a family's grief in full public glare. choral singing. 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.
10:24 am
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.
10:25 am
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.
10:26 am
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. our correspondent at windsor, charlotte gallagher, told me the royal family would now
10:27 am
be entering a period of private rest and reflection. you can imagine the royal family 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 cameras 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.
10:28 am
there is going to be so much reflection, i think it's fair to say. on the past ten days and especially on the funeral yesterday which so many people watched or got involved in queueing to view the coffin at westminster hall. we heard something like 250,000 people queued to see the coffin at westminster hall. i was in the queue for a couple of days and it was remarkable. people have been queueing for as much as 16 hours in some cases. we saw elderly veterans with walking sticks, medals on their chest and they had been queueing all the time but they said they felt it was their duty to say a final goodbye to the bosst, their commander—in—chief. families, people who did not know each other when they started, but by the end they were taking photos and they wanted to remember that time and i know
10:29 am
i will remember speaking to people and hearing their stories of why they were there. yesterday, i met a woman whose mother was in the same army unit as the queen during the second world war and she had bought a flag that had been on the coffin of her mother yesterday and she felt she wanted to say goodbye to the queen from herself and also her mother. rescue workers injapan have warned of mudslides and flooding, in the wake of a super—typhoon which struck the north eastern coast of the country. typhoon nanmadol has killed at least four people but has now been downgraded to a cyclone. our correspondent rupert wingfield—hayes in tokyo has been giving us the latest. as you say, the typhoon has now been downgraded and has broken up over northern japan. but for the last three days, it really has been a monster, monster storm, the likes of which japan has rarely seen, only a handful of other times a storm of this size in the last half century.
10:30 am
and it's hit the southern island of kyushu on sunday. and then it has just churned right across the whole of japan over the last two and a half days and really bringing very destructive winds, 150 mile an hourwinds, over 200 kilometre an hour winds, which have caused quite a lot of damage to electricity supplies and structural damage. but really, the big thing has been the amount of rain, really astonishing amounts of rain have fallen over western and centraljapan. in kyushu, they measured more than 70 centimetres of rain falling on sunday and into monday. and even in honshu, a0 centimetres of rain fell yesterday over western parts of honshu. so that's been the major problem causing a lot of local flooding. there is a concern still about the possibility of landslides and mudslides. as you said, the toll from this has been fortunately very small in terms of loss of human life. but it really has caused massive disruption right across japan for the last three days.
10:31 am
what are scientists saying about linking this with climate change? well, they're absolutely linking it to climate change and also to the la nina phenomenon in the pacific ocean. this year, we're in a la nina year which will have exacerbated the size of this typhoon. but really, this is part of a trend which we're very clearly seeing. the data is very apparent. in the late 19705, the pacific ocean used to produce about one super typhoon a year. now we are seeing between four and five super typhoons developing in the western pacific every year. and that trend is expected to increase. not only are these storms getting bigger and more frequent, but they are moving further north away from the equator towards japan, china and the korean peninsula. and so this part of the world isjust getting battered more often by bigger storms. ajudge in the united states has quashed the conviction
10:32 am
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.
10:33 am
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,
10:34 am
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 attorneys 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.

obviously the company is very disappointed about that. and what have rockstar _ disappointed about that. and what have rockstar games _ disappointed about that. and what have rockstar games and - disappointed about that. and what have rockstar games and indeed l disappointed about that. and what i have rockstar games and indeed the hacker or hackers behind this, going by the name teapot, what claims have they made about how it has happened? well, there is speculation that it happened because they got into a third party service, something like slack. obviously, lots companies use that for group charts and groups where you put all the assets, you say, shall we update this, make changes, you can all leave comments, and if someone manages to get into that, they can get their hands on all the assets, and it is quite normal for companies all the assets, and it is quite normalfor companies to all the assets, and it is quite normal for companies to have things like that, but if one person has had their account compromised or they have done some social engineering, one of those phishing e—mails, it could be as simple as that, we are not always talking about people doing coding and trying to break into a server. it could be as simple as getting someone's username and password, may be tricking them into handing over the information, then seeing what they have access to, and that seems to be how this has

10:41 am
member of the eu and its third—largest economy, be about to swing to the far right? that's what the polls suggest ahead of sunday's election, with giorgia meloni likely to become italy's first woman prime minister and first far—right leader since mussolini. as our italy correspondent mark lowen reports, it's dividing views across the country. catching the votes is no mean feat in palermo's ballaro market, where passions are culinary, not political. "i'm sick of those scoundrels," he said. "i'm not voting," she says — "they only think of themselves." in vibrant sicily, there is appetite for change, and the far—right brothers of italy of giorgia meloni looks set on it. sonia has never voted until now. translation: i like the right wing's anti-migrant policy. _ i am not racist, but it's a mess when the people of colour here fight.
10:42 am
meloni attracts me because she's a woman, a mum, and has grit. we women are the strongest, we'll change the mood here. that's occurred in the zen neighbourhood, one of europe's most deprived — youth unemployment at 80%. a citizen income's, a handout for the poor, helped the populist five star movement win the last election. but many say it hasn't solved the root problem and are changing their vote. translation: we hoped five star would change things. _ but they were all talk and no action, and there are still no jobs. translation: | think |'u go | for meloni, because we want this area cleaned up so it's safer at night. you can't even get rid of the rubbish because it's swarming with rats. across the country, in the northern city of modena, politics of a different flavour at the festival of the centre—left. tastes and debates are different here, focused on how to stop the far right. away from meloni land,
10:43 am
here they worry that her conservative nationalism could endanger liberal democracy. italy is as divided as it is diverse, a country always swung between governments and ideologies of every colour — in a constant search for its political identity. meloni's identity, she says, is not fascist but socially conservative, roaring yes to the natural family, no to the lgbt lobby at a rally of her spanish far—right allies. that strikes fear into italy's same—sex families. we are more than scared. we are terrified. giorgia meloni's strategy is to define enemies. she seems all the time angry. angry with people that don't represent her idea of society. but i think that, in this society, there should be a place for everyone. that's a democracy.
10:44 am
and so a choice about the country they will grow up in — which way it looks, and how free they will feel. mark lowen, bbc news, in a divided italy. england's cricketers will today play their first game in pakistan for 17 years. security concerns have prevented any tours since 2005, and this series of t20 matches has taken on particular significance. joining me now is comedian and cricket commentator aatif nawaz, who is currently commentating on the series in pakistan. why are the conditions are right for this now? and talk more broadly about the significance of this happening. it is hugely significant, 17 years since the england team last visited, and in context that is when youtube
10:45 am
had just been invented, so a very long time ago! and of course england were due to visit last year, they had to pull out because of security concerns, and that has threatened to damage the long term friendship that the english cricket board and the pakistan cricket board have had, but it looks like it is on the right track now. it looks like it is on the right track now-— it looks like it is on the right track now. ~ . ., ., track now. what will it mean for eo - le in track now. what will it mean for people in pakistan _ track now. what will it mean for people in pakistan to _ track now. what will it mean for people in pakistan to watch - track now. what will it mean for people in pakistan to watch this j people in pakistan to watch this game? tt people in pakistan to watch this came? , ., people in pakistan to watch this i ame? , ., ., people in pakistan to watch this came? , ., ., , , game? it is going to be hugely excitina. game? it is going to be hugely exciting. english _ game? it is going to be hugely exciting. english players - game? it is going to be hugely exciting. english players are i game? it is going to be hugely. exciting. english players are not unknown to pakistani fans, a lot of them come over to play in the t20 competition here, so a lot of the players are very popular. english players are very popular. english players are very popular. english players are generally considered superstars, some of the most popular and famous in the game, so it will be very exciting for the fans, especially considering what has been happening in the country of light. and of course in the mind of everyone there will be the horrendous floods in pakistan, a third of the country under water, we have been reporting on that today and for the last few weeks, so lots
10:46 am
of the cricketers, i believe, involved in trying to help with the effort to get aid to people. indeed, the proceeds _ effort to get aid to people. indeed, the proceeds from _ effort to get aid to people. indeed, the proceeds from the _ effort to get aid to people. indeed, the proceeds from the first - effort to get aid to people. indeed, the proceeds from the first match i the proceeds from the first match will all go towards the prime minister's fund for flood relief, but the pakistani cricket board have commissioned a special shout that the team are going to wear for the first match as well, and proceeds from that will go towards flood relief as well. they will do a minute's silence for her majesty the queen's passing and also in honour of the flood victims, it has been devastating, as i'm sure you have been reporting. so it has been very difficult for pakistan, and again cricket is such a huge part of pakistani culture and identity, they look to cricket in the darkest times to offer some light at the end of the tunnel. and it appears that this series, at the very least, has encouraged a lot of excitement and goodwill amongst the people there. so sport, charity, remembrance,
10:47 am
inspiration. these are all things that sport at its best can do. yeah, it absolutely _ that sport at its best can do. yeah, it absolutely can. _ that sport at its best can do. yeah, it absolutely can. pakistan - that sport at its best can do. yeah, it absolutely can. pakistan has - that sport at its best can do. yeah, it absolutely can. pakistan has had | it absolutely can. pakistan has had a series of disasters before, and cricket has always tried to be at the forefront of responding to that, and many ex—cricketers in pakistan have their own charitable foundations, and they lead initiatives and use social media to draw attention towards what they think are positive initiatives and things like that. and of course cricketers are held in such high esteem in pakistan, you know, they really feel that responsibility as well. so it is very good to see, actually, the kind of people that our stakeholders, trying to raise awareness, raise funds, and try and offer some relief. find awareness, raise funds, and try and offer some relief.— offer some relief. and your tip for these t20 matches, _ offer some relief. and your tip for these t20 matches, how - offer some relief. and your tip for these t20 matches, how do - offer some relief. and your tip for these t20 matches, how do you l offer some relief. and your tip for - these t20 matches, how do you think they are going to play out? tt is they are going to play out? it is auoin to they are going to play out? it is going to be _ they are going to play out? it is going to be quite _ they are going to play out? te 3 going to be quite balanced, really, because both teams are trying out different players. the t20 world cup is coming up next month, so both players will be keen to try out some
10:48 am
of their bench strength. england have a brand—new captain, and even before that the stand—in captain, moeen ali, who will be in charge for at least the first few games of this pakistan series. the pakistani side have just come off a loss in the asia cup final, so they will be keen to rectify things, and questions were raised about their tactics. it is hard to say, because we don't have a real precedent, england have not played here for 17 years, but if i had to put myself out there, and, i had to put myself out there, and, i would say 4—3 to pakistan. goad i had to put myself out there, and, i would say 4-3 to pakistan. good to talk to you. — i would say 4-3 to pakistan. good to talk to you, thank _ i would say 4-3 to pakistan. good to talk to you, thank you _ i would say 4-3 to pakistan. good to talk to you, thank you very - i would say 4-3 to pakistan. good to talk to you, thank you very much. i while mourners in the uk gathered inside westminster abbey for the state funeral of queen elizabeth ii, thousands lined the streets of central london, and millions more watched her majesty's final journey from their homes. it was a day when people around the uk stood still, fell silent and reflected, as the nation bid a final farewell to britain's longest—reigning monarch. jayne mccubbin has this report.
10:49 am
choral singing. we watched in our homes... ..in ourchurches... ..in ourcinemas, ourclubs, our parks. she united us in one final act of togetherness. i live on my own, and i didn't really want to be on my own today, cos it's such an emotional day, and i'm never going to experience this again. bells toll in alrewas, the church bells rang to call their community together. brothers—in—arms brian and paul had served together in the gulf war.
10:50 am
first thing this morning is i wanted to just reflect on myself and just watch it in peace. but, actually, to come here with brian, it's been great to get that army brotherhood together. so, yeah, i'm glad i came down, actually. i got very upset... ..cos, obviously, as we always say, it's our boss, and we'll never have another boss like her, i don't think. this emotion is not easy for everyone to understand — nor is it easy to explain. how would you explain the emotion that you felt today? it's here, always here. and, you know, i can honestly say that. i mean, for everybody, it's all here. i don't know what it is, but we're the best in the world at it, aren't we? so we've got to be like that, you know? daft as it may seem!
10:51 am
pubs like the red beret in wythenshawe opened to offer companionship, community. a lot of my customers haven't got company, so it's nice for them to come out and have a bit of company and watch something that they'll probably never, ever see again. remember always somebody cares. that's what i made our motto, that. remember always somebody cares. a moment in which many people thought not just about the monarch, but of their own loved ones lost. there's only me and my son — lost my daughter. she would have been here with us, but, unfortunately, she died. but it was a... you know, we stick together, and it was good. we have to carry on like she did. she was a... she was a stalwart to us all. she was, bless her.
10:52 am
god bless her. wonderful woman. they watched in the teuchters landing in leith. i think it's a time to reflect. i think we've all lost someone, and so it's an opportunity in time to think about that. those people that have gone and the people you've still got left. and they watched in the alma pub in harwich. the youngest was one, and the oldest was 91. a perfect british ceremony in the perfect british institution. it was a privilege to be able to share this moment with the community around me and my neighbours. very many watched with neighbours — just as doreen dyer did in milton keynes. she'sjust...stability, actually. i can't imagine a life without her.
10:53 am
her finaljourney to windsor now. some, like colin edwards, chose to watch alone. he'd met the queen 150 times before finally saying his goodbye from his sofa in north wales. i've watched the whole thing. incredibly moving. spectacular. britain is the envy of the world. no other country in the world could stage a show like this. the queen would be overwhelmed by the response of people. the eyes of perhaps billions of people around the world saw this response, and what they saw looked like unity. she means a lot to ireland. i suppose this country has its friction over the years, but she's been kind of a force for reconciliation, hasn't she? she'll never be forgotten, will she? ever, ever. i'm getting emotional, i'm sorry.
10:54 am
bagpipes skirl. and so ten days of national mourning came to an end — with images which are likely to be the biggest live television event in history. images which will never be forgotten. disruption to train services which caused thousands of mourners to miss the queen's funeral will continue for at least the next few hours. network rail says work to fix damaged overhead electric wires affecting services at london's paddington station is ongoing. services run by great western railway, heathrow express and the elizabeth line are affected. around six million disabled people in the uk will receive a one—off payment of £150 from today to help with the rising cost of living. the government says it'll be made
10:55 am
automatically to anyone receiving one of a number of disability benefits. those eligible are expected to receive the payment by the start of october. a palestinian farmer has been describing how he discovered an ornate byzantine floor mosaic while trying to plant an olive tree on his land in the gaza strip. salman al—nabahin said his shovel hit something hard and he unearthed a nasa spacecraft on mars has captured the vibrations and sounds of rocks striking the planet's surface. scientists say the insight robotic lander detected seismic and acoustic waves from a series of impacts — the first such observations for a planet other than earth. because of its thin atmosphere and its proximity to our solar system's asteroid belt, mars is far more vulnerable than earth to being struck by space rocks. a palestinian farmer has been describing how he discovered an ornate byzantine floor mosaic while trying to plant an olive tree on his land in the gaza strip.
10:56 am
it's believed to be about 1,500 years old. hello again. as we go through this week, it will turn that a bit warmer, and towards the end of the week, some of us will see some heavier rain. we've got some light rain currently across the northa and the west of scotland, breezy conditions here. for the rest of the uk, we're looking at a lot of dry weather, some bright or sunny intervals developing, and temperatures 13—19 degrees in just light breezes. now for this evening's rush hour, if anything, the rain could well turn a little bit heavier across the north and the west, the wind picking up a little bit here as well. but for the rest of scotland, largely dry, again with variable amounts of cloud and some sunny breaks. some cloud and some sunshine across northern ireland to end the afternoon, and it's the same across
10:57 am
northern ireland, the brighter skies in the north—west, across the midlands, down towards the south—east and parts of the south—west. wales also seeing some sunny intervals. but through this evening and overnight, we continue to see the cloud break up, and in light breezes once again we'll see some mist and some fog patches forming, the rain turning that little bit heavier across the north—west and the winds continuing to strengthen here. but not a particularly cold night for the time of year. tomorrow, then, the rain will be heavier across the north and the west, but you can see most of us will be dry. any mist and fog overnight will lift quite quickly, there'll be sunny intervals developing, an outside chance of an isolated shower across southern scotland or northern england, but most will miss them. and we're looking at temperatures a little bit higher at 21 degrees. now, as we head from wednesday into thursday, we've got this new, more active weather front coming our way. it's moving in across scotland and northern ireland and heading down into england and wales slowly. around it, it'll be quite windy. behind it, wind will tend to drop. so ahead of it, we start off with
10:58 am
a lot of dry weather, some sunshine. the rain crossing scotland in northern ireland will be heavy, don't forget, blustery around it, and then behind it hit brightens up. but ahead of it, the cloud continues to build as that weather front continues its descent southeastwards. temperatures 1a to about 20 degrees. this weather front will continue down into the south as we head through friday. so for england and for wales, there will be some rain around. but into the weekend, it's looking dry for many of us.
11:00 am
this is bbc news. iamjoanna i am joanna gosling. the headlines at 11am... 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 of military aid spent on ukraine in the next year. the discovery of hundreds of graves in izyum, a town recently liberated by ukrainian troops. maria mezentseva is the ukrainian mp representing kharkiv; witnessed liberated territories. we are witnessing numerous atrocities. we said it before when the kyiv region was liberated back in april that there will be more atrocities happening in other areas.
11:01 am
the two—week inquest into the death of 14—year—old molly russell has began. she took her own life in 2017. after her death, her family found she had been exposed to large amounts of harmful material on instagram and pinterest. 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. the 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 the government's energy support package for businesses.
11:02 am
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 the culture secretary, michelle donelan, was asked for more details on the announcements expected this week. the energy price guarantee for consumers is for two years. we have guaranteed we will be doing similar for businesses for up to six months, then offering additional tailored support. the details of that will be announced by the business secretary this week in fact so they will be getting that clarity. six months gets you through the winter, the period of time when 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 your point that
11:03 am
many companies and public sector organisations will need additional support and that's why we want to work up the tailored package to target that support and make sure that support is really the correct support, and we will be doing that in conjunction with businesses and different sectors over the coming weeks. the business secretary i'm sure will outline more detail on this, this week. james murray, labour's shadow financial secretary, says an energy price cap freeze should be paid for by a windfall tax, rather than borrowing. what's really concerning is who pays for this and what we get for it. because what the government have been saying, all of the cost of their plan will fall on borrowing which is future taxpayers footing the bill which is in contrast for what we have been calling for, which is a windfall tax on excess profits from oil and gas giants to pay for some of that help. the real dividing line here, the real difference is
11:04 am
who will pay for it. if you look at the oil and gas giant�* excess profits, we know from the treasury documents some £170 billion worth of excess profits over the next couple of years, and for the government to rule out looking at asking for a contribution from those excess profits is just wrong. contribution from those excess profits isjust wrong. every contribution from those excess profits is just wrong. every penny thatis profits is just wrong. every penny that is not raised from a windfall tax is money that falls on taxpayers, so we think their approach to do that is wrong. let�*s talk to our political correspondent iain watson. politics basically picking up right where it left off.— where it left off. yes, it is certainly _ where it left off. yes, it is certainly back _ where it left off. yes, it is certainly back with i where it left off. yes, it is certainly back with a i where it left off. yes, it is i certainly back with a vengeance. where it left off. yes, it is - certainly back with a vengeance. if you cast your mind back to that mourning period, then the dividing line between the major parties on how to freeze energy bills or restrict energy bills, liz truss is sticking to the campaign promises she made when she was vying to
11:05 am
become conservative leader and prime minister saying that actually there will be no further taxes on those companies because it might discourage investment. there will be familiar battle lines being drawn up, but as prime minister she will want to effectively have a sense of momentum after politics has been in the bay and is at least publicly for the bay and is at least publicly for the last ten days. you mentioned her speech to the un general assembly, she will make the argument about continued support for ukraine. she�*s also playing down any prospects in the short and medium term of any trade deal with the united states. that was perhaps expected to be the case but she has now been quite explicit about that as prime minister and former international trade secretary. on the domestic front, it will be as busy week. we will find out what plans there are to clear the nhs backlog, we will get the fiscal event so called, the mini budget with big ticket items in
11:06 am
it including reversing the national insurance rise at the end of the week. what will be intriguing is what kind of help there will be for businesses this winter, because government insiders are saying it is quite a challenge to construct a scheme. we will hear more about it i think tomorrow but already the opposition is saying will there be proper of these plans? will it be a government announcement or an announcement to parliament? because on the agenda tomorrow is more swearing in of mps, now we have a new king so the question is what form the announcement will take place and how much parliamentary scrutiny there will be, notjust help for businesses for the next six months but they again helped beyond that for those who are perhaps energy intensive, they use a lot of power to manufacture their own good. to do that kind of calculation i think has been pretty tricky for government, so i think there�*s a lot
11:07 am
of apprehension. even the conservative benches, on whether that scheme will be adequate enough. and the cost of the support over energy prices and also tax cuts expected to tot up to many billions of pounds. there is a lot of talk about whether that will be in breach of fiscal rules. what will happen? the difficulty i think the government has that effectively it signed a blank cheque because it has no idea what will happen to wholesale energy prices, wholesale gas prices in particular. we don�*t knowjust how much it will cost to give that guarantee, that cap if you like on average bills. so in that sense, what is perhaps more likely is the government on friday at this mini budget will come up with some kind of short—term estimate of how much this will cost, but the scheme,
11:08 am
again, you have to cast your mind back a couple of weeks because we haven�*t been talking about it every day, but the scheme is supposed to last two years for households so it will be difficult to put a number on that. as far as the government is concerned, we have heard from kwasi kwarteng even before he became chancellor when he was still business secretary that he called for more fiscal loosening as he called it, but that means more borrowing in the system. i don�*t think either he or liz truss are bothered about breaking existing rules, what they call treasury orthodoxy in the short term if they believe, and they seem to very much believe, and they seem to very much believe this, that it will help economic growth as well as also helping households.— economic growth as well as also helping households. thank you very much, helping households. thank you very much. lain- — an inquest begins today into the death of molly russell. she was just 1a years old when she took her life in 2017. after her death, her family found large amounts of graphic material about self—harm and suicide on her social media accounts. her father ian then became a high profile
11:09 am
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. our 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...
11:10 am
..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. ..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
11:11 am
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.
11:12 am
let�*s talk to our correspondent, ellie price, who is at the coroner�*s court in north london. what�*s happened this morning? this morning we have had legal discussions about some of that graphic material that angus was talking about in his piece, some of the material molly had been looking at shortly before her death. there are plenty of very, very sensitive pieces of evidence that she was looking at on social media that related to self—harm, depression and suicide. i think it gives some sense of the complexity of this case and this inquest. at the heart of it, the circumstances surrounding the death of a 14—year—old girl, but there is the broader issue too, the first time as campaigners see it, the first time some of the tech
11:13 am

11:42 am
meloni�*s identity, she says, is not fascist but socially conservative, roaring yes to the natural family, no to the lgbt lobby at a rally of her spanish far—right allies. that strikes fear into italy�*s same—sex families. we are more than scared. we are terrified. giorgia meloni's strategy is to define enemies. she seems all the time angry. angry with people that don't represent her idea of society. but i think that, in this society, there should be a place for everyone. that's a democracy. and so a choice about the country they will grow up in — which way it looks, and how free they will feel. mark lowen, bbc news, in a divided italy.

commuters in northern madrid make the most of a new government scheme, offering free train travel on shorterjourneys. this measure, which will remain in place across spain over the next four months, aims to help counter the spiralling cost of living. the petrol cost is really high right now and this initiative or this opportunity is saving a lot of money for people because for instance, in my case i am going by car every day, twice a week, 60 kilometres per day to go by train forforfree. what i see, especially in people my age, is that we make we don't make a lot of money because salaries are not very high. in recent months, spanish inflation has been hovering around 10%, with rising fuel and energy costs a particular concern. the free rail travel initiative is just one of several measures the spanish government has taken recently in an effort to try and counter the rising cost of living. since april, a discount of e20 cents per litre has been offered at petrol pumps funded by the government and energy companies. and more recently, vat on gas was slashed to 5%. electricity and gas now cost 50%

more than a year ago. this has helped push up the price of products such as food, which has increased by 14% when prices have gone up. which has increased by 14%. prices have gone up. everything is costing more, whether it�*s olive oil or electricity or water. so we�*ve put prices up. it�*s been a perfect storm. salaries don�*t go up, but the prices go up. we�*re all up to our necks. leftist coalition government of pedro sanchez says it�*s doing everything possible to protect consumers, but it�*s facing mounting pressure to do more. in this recent parliamentary debate, the opposition said the government�*s measures to combat inflation were barely having any effect. earlier this year, haulage workers staged a strike over fuel prices. more protests are being prepared as workers demand wage rises to match inflation.
11:45 am
translation: nobody thought that inflation was going to shoot up like this. we�*re going to combine negotiation with protests on the street with the ultimate aim of ensuring that the salaries of the workers of this country maintain their purchasing power. while the government braces itself for a wave of social discontent this autumn, spanish families are preparing for more hardship. guy hedgecoe, bbc news, madrid.

which we can started to rebuild at those relationships with the eu. start by improving the current trade deal, we want to look at whether we can rejoin certain schemes. potentially science collaborations. in the long term we think it would be advantageous for the uk to rejoin the single market. that�*s a long way off. what we want to see right now is the uk government that actually takes its role seriously in terms of rebuilding relationships with our colleagues in europe and america. and not alienating our allies. thank ou ve and not alienating our allies. thank you very much- _ and not alienating our allies. thank you very much. for _ and not alienating our allies. thank you very much. for a _ and not alienating our allies. thank you very much. for a quarter- and not alienating our allies. thank you very much. for a quarter of- and not alienating our allies. thank you very much. for a quarter of a i you very much. for a quarter of a century the pop star 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. appropriately named 25, it features some of its best loved hits across the decades as you never heard them before. been seeking to our

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. # now and hold on fast. # could this be the magic at last?

so, um, yeah, it�*s a big deal. cheering. robbie williams. disruption to train services which cause thousands of mourners is continuing. network rail says work is undergoing to fix problems at london paddington. services by great western railway, heathrow crest and the elizabeth liner affected. time for a weather update. hello again. as we go through this week, it will turn that bit warmer, and towards the end of the week, some of us will see some heavier rain. we�*ve got some light rain currently across the north and the west of scotland, breezy conditions here. for the rest of the uk, we�*re looking at a lot of dry weather,
11:56 am
some bright or sunny intervals developing, and temperatures 13—19 degrees in just light breezes. now for this evening�*s rush hour, if anything, the rain could well turn a little bit heavier across the north and the west, the wind picking up a little bit here as well. but for the rest of scotland, largely dry, again with variable amounts of cloud and some sunny breaks. some cloud and some sunshine across northern ireland to end the afternoon, and it�*s the same across northern ireland, the brighter skies in the north—west, across the midlands, down towards the south—east and parts of the south—west. wales also seeing some sunny intervals. but through this evening and overnight, we continue to see the cloud break up, and in light breezes once again we�*ll see some mist and some fog patches forming, the rain turning that little bit heavier across the north—west and the winds continuing to strengthen here. but not a particularly cold night for the time of year. tomorrow, then, the rain will be heavier across the north and the west, but you can see most of us will be dry. any mist and fog overnight will lift quite quickly, there�*ll be sunny intervals developing, an outside chance of an isolated shower across southern scotland or northern england, but most will miss them.
11:57 am
and we�*re looking at temperatures a little bit higher at 21 degrees. now, as we head from wednesday into thursday, we�*ve got this new, more active weather front coming our way. it�*s moving in across scotland and northern ireland and heading down into england and wales slowly. around it, it�*ll be quite windy. behind it, wind will tend to drop. so ahead of it, we start off with a lot of dry weather, some sunshine. the rain crossing scotland in northern ireland will be heavy, don�*t forget, blustery around it, and then behind it hit brightens up. but ahead of it, the cloud continues to build as that weather front continues its descent southeastwards. temperatures 14 to about 20 degrees. this weather front will continue down into the south as we head through friday. so for england and for wales, there will be some rain around. but into the weekend, it�*s looking dry for many of us.
12:00 pm
this is bbc news. the headlines... 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 of military aid spent on ukraine in the next year. the new business secretary, jacob rees—mogg, is expected to set out the government�*s energy support package to help businesses. ukraine says hundreds of graves have been found outside izyum, days after it was re—taken from russia. the culture secretary estimates at least 250,000 people queued to see the queen�*s coffin in london, the royal family are now observing another seven days of mourning. a man is jailed for ten months for his part in the disorder in leicester at the weekend involving young men from the muslim and hindu communities.
12:01 pm
good afternoon. the 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 the 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, the culture secretary, michelle donelan, was
12:02 pm
asked for more details on the announcements expected this week. the energy price guarantee for consumers is for two years. we have guaranteed we will be doing similar for businesses for up to six months, and then offering additional tailored support. the details of that will be announced by the business secretary this week, in fact, so they will be getting that clarity. six months gets you through the winter, the coldest period of time when 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 your point, that many companies and public sector organisations will need additional support and that�*s why we want to work up the tailored package to target that support and make sure that support is really the correct support. and we will be doing that in conjunction with businesses and different sectors over the coming weeks. the business secretary, i�*m sure, will outline more detail on this, this week. james murray, labour�*s shadow financial secretary,
12:03 pm
says the party welcomes an energy price cap freeze, but argues it should be paid for by a windfall tax, rather than borrowing. what�*s really concerning is who pays for this and what we get for it. because what the government have been saying is that all of the cost of their plan will fall on borrowing, which is future taxpayers footing the bill which is in contrast for what we have been calling for, which is a windfall tax on excess profits from oil and gas giants to pay for some of that help. the real dividing line here, the real difference is who will pay for it. if you look at the oil and gas giants�* excess profits, we know from the treasury documents there�*s some £170 billion worth of excess profits over the next couple of years, and for the government to rule out looking at asking for a contribution from those excess profits we think is just wrong.
12:04 pm
every penny that is not raised from a windfall tax is money that falls on taxpayers, so we think their approach to do that is wrong. with me now is our business correspondent. it�*s a busy week, politics basically picking up where it took off. tomorrow there will be the announcement from the government about what it is doing for energy bills for business. what are you expecting? tt bills for business. what are you meeting?— bills for business. what are you exectinu? ,. .. , ., expecting? it is crucially important for businesses _ expecting? it is crucially important for businesses at _ expecting? it is crucially important for businesses at the _ expecting? it is crucially important for businesses at the moment, i expecting? it is crucially important i for businesses at the moment, many of them have seen their prices rise dramatically. a lot are expecting their fixed dramatically. a lot are expecting theirfixed price dramatically. a lot are expecting their fixed price caps to come to an end soon and they are not covered by the energy price cap which is what households are covered by. we did hear almost two weeks ago from prime minister liz truss about the fact businesses were going to be given the level of support. they said it would be similar to the support being offered to households and that was going to be over a period of six
12:05 pm
months. the big questions businesses now have is how is that support going to work, and how big is it going to work, and how big is it going to work, and how big is it going to be? we know it will be across businesses but also groups like charities and public sector organisations as well, so schools and various other bodies that require energy too. this is only going to be for six months. the big question is what happens after that as well. we know the government have also said there will be a review into which businesses continue to have more of that support, that that will be ongoing. the big questions we are hoping to get answered is exactly how much is this support? and exactly how it will be put into place. it will there be more support for businesses that use even more energy? mud will it be equal across the board for everybody? and when will it come into play? i understand this will be backdated from the beginning of october, many businesses know their contracts are
12:06 pm
about to end and want to know when the support will be coming in. some ofthe the support will be coming in. some of the businesses _ the support will be coming in. some of the businesses are _ the support will be coming in. some of the businesses are talking i of the businesses are talking about the multiples on their energy bills and they are enormous, aren't they? yes, they have talked about triple, quadruple, five times the amount, and that is not practical for the majority of these businesses. if you think about businesses we have covered, its been places like glass—blowing factories or manufacturing in general and it is difficult to reduce that energy and continue to produce those products. i have spoken to people like hairdressers who are obviously in need of energy gusts as well and need of energy gusts as well and need to have their lights and heating on in the winter. they need to make sure they have enough electricity to run their hair dryers and everything else they need. it is hard to find a business that doesn't use that much energy. you mentioned it's a busy week, it _ use that much energy. you mentioned it's a busy week, it culminates - use that much energy. you mentioned it's a busy week, it culminates with i it's a busy week, it culminates with the mini budget, the fiscal event on
12:07 pm
friday. what is expected with that? this will be more details about how liz truss's promises will be enacted. in particular she has promised to reverse the tax increases that were going to be on both national insurance but also on business tax as well and we are expecting to hear more details about how that will come into play and exactly when that will be enforced. this is crucially important as well, even though it's not a major budget it is something businesses and people across the economy will be looking closely at to see how it will be enforced.— looking closely at to see how it will be enforced. thank you. the ukrainian president _ will be enforced. thank you. the ukrainian president volodymyr l ukrainian president volodymyr zelensky has said in his nightly address that russian forces were panicking as ukraine claimed to have taken back a village in the east. ukraine has also accused russian
12:08 pm
forces of an attack near the country's second lager —— second largest power plant. hugo bachega is in kyiv. the ukrainian military are saying that ukrainian forces managed to retake a village in the luhansk region in the east of the country. this is a very small village but it is significant because it means the ukrainians are now back in luhansk if this gain is confirmed. the russians injuly had claimed they had full control of the luhansk region. it's also significant because now we are hearing local officials in luhansk talking about plans of possible referendums to join russia for these regions to be annexed by russia. so if the ukrainians go ahead in seizing territory in luhansk, this is probably going to be an obstacle in those plans. we heard yesterday from the ukrainian governor in luhansk saying that this village is now under full ukrainian control,
12:09 pm
but he also said that he doesn't expect the next advances to be easy. he said fighting is likely to be difficult as this counter offence continues because the russians have fortified their positions in the east of the country. we know that president putin has been saying that the goal of this special military operation is deliberate, in his words, —— special military operation is to liberate, in his words, the regions of donetsk and luhansk. the ukrainians say they are going ahead with the counteroffensive and that they continue to make gains. what has president zelensky said about the aid needed? yes, i think this will be the key issue in his speech to the united nations general assembly. i think the ukrainians will be using this counteroffensive and the gains of this counteroffensive to tell western partners that they have the ability and capacity to go ahead and reclaim
12:10 pm
territory, but that they need more help and they need this kind of help in terms of weapons now to keep going and to keep with this counteroffensive and to reclaim territory. i think we have been hearing a lot from ukrainian officials and the president himself in recent days. the message has been consistent, and i think he will repeat the message as he addresses the united nations that ukraine needs more help from western partners and this help needs to come now.
12:11 pm
many of the world world leaders who attended the queen's funeral are in new york today for the united nations general assembly. the major topic of discussion is likely to be ukraine — nada tawfik looks ahead to what we can expect in the coming days. on manhattan's east side, the start of the general assembly is synonymous with inescapable gridlock and heightened security. escorted by their lengthy motorcades, heads of state and government gather annually to make inroads on the toughest of issues. this year, however, there is one impenetrable divide — the war in ukraine. it's the first time since the un's founding in the ashes of world war ii that europe is witnessing a major conflict. the un secretary general says this is a time of great peril as the west on one hand, and russia and china on the other, battle for dominance. geostrategic divides are the widest they have been since at least the cold war, and they are paralysing the global response to the dramatic challenges we face. our world is blighted by war, battered by climate chaos, scattered... scared by hate, and shamed by poverty, hunger and inequality. last year, ukraine's president, volodymyr zelensky, was still a relatively fresh face
12:12 pm
on the international stage. over seven months of war he's emerged as a respected statesman to many for standing up to president vladimir putin. after an overwhelming un vote, he will address delegates virtually in a pre—recorded video. it's an exception to the rule that leaders must speak in person. western officials plan to meet with ukraine's foreign minister who will be in town but have ruled out any diplomacy in new york with the russians. it is our firm belief that it cannot be business as usual with the russian federation. countries here, especially those from the global south, do not want the war in ukraine to completely overshadow other key issues. action on climate change has stalled, and the global food crisis has been made worse by the war. there'll be high level meetings on that and global health to tackle covid and monkeypox. meanwhile, the presidents of china and russia will not be attending. the un is billing this week as a chance to find transformative solutions, an ambitious goal given the current geopolitical divides. nada tawfik, bbc news, at the united nations in new york.

12:14 pm
medium or short term. the united states government led byjoe biden is very concerned about the uk government's plans to overhaul the post—brexit trading arrangements in northern ireland, the northern ireland protocol, fearing this could undermine the good friday agreement, which many in american diplomacy see as a us diplomatic achievement. because those talks were overseen by george mitchell, a former us senator, and bill clinton also played a key part in it. this is the backdrop to the meeting, no trade deal but there will definitely be common ground over ukraine between prime minister liz truss and presidentjoe biden because they are both committed to supplying ukraine with what it needs to withstand the russian invasion.— russian invasion. yes, and ukraine will be one — russian invasion. yes, and ukraine will be one of— russian invasion. yes, and ukraine will be one of the _ russian invasion. yes, and ukraine will be one of the key _ russian invasion. yes, and ukraine will be one of the key topics - russian invasion. yes, and ukraine will be one of the key topics talked j will be one of the key topics talked about there?— will be one of the key topics talked about there? absolutely. ukraine is overshadowing _ about there? absolutely. ukraine is overshadowing this _ about there? absolutely. ukraine is overshadowing this meeting - about there? absolutely. ukraine is overshadowing this meeting of- about there? absolutely. ukraine is| overshadowing this meeting of world leaders in new york. the super bowl

12:18 pm
people. i think the fact we are here now and hopefully in the future we will come many times more is a great thing and for me to be part of that is amazing. the t20 world cup will be the first to use a new set of rules agreed today by the international cricket council including a ban on players using saliva to shine the ball. it was brought in during the pandemic to prevent the spread of covid—i9 and has now been made permanent, but the use of sweat will still be allowed. jordan henderson has been called up to the england squad after recovering from a hamstring injury. the liverpool captain will replace calvin phillips who is having shoulder surgery. calvin phillips who is having shouldersurgery. england calvin phillips who is having shoulder surgery. england take on italy on friday in milan, then germany on monday at wembley in the next round of the nations league matches. that is all your support for now, joanna. much more coming up in the next hour. thank you.
12:19 pm
the royal family will observe another week of mourning for queen elizabeth and are not expected to carry out any official engagements, at the request of king charles. the late monarch was laid to rest alongside her husband, the duke of edinburgh, during a private burial service yesterday evening, which was attended 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? how does this emotional response inform our understanding of who we are? 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
12:20 pm
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. bagpipes skirl 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. choral singing the crisp morning light of westminster abbey fell
12:21 pm
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.
12:22 pm
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.
12:23 pm
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. an inquest begins today into the death of molly russell.
12:25 pm
she was just iii 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. her father 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. we can go to our correspondent. molly it is said used instagram 120 times a day, and looked at 11,000 pieces of wooden instagram in the six months before her death, and
12:26 pm
15,000 engagements with pinterest in the same period. the coroner has already warned some of the content she used was pretty dreadful and will be very difficult to see throughout this inquest. at the heart of all of this is the inquest into the death of a iii—year—old girl, but there a broader significance to it too and as some campaigners see it, it will be the first time a big tech company will be questioned under oath in a uk court about its provision for protecting children and younger users on social media. as you mentioned, there will be representatives from meta who owns instagram and from pinterest who will talk about some of their provisions for protecting younger people. we are told the coroner is also interested in looking into algorithms, that is where in effect algorithms, that is where in effect a user is sent similar material to what they have been looking at, and in this case whether that played any part into molly's death and what she

now it's time for a look at the weather with carol. hello again. over the next few days, it will turn warmer than it has been, but there is some rain in the forecast. we have some rain across the north and west of scotland, not particularly heavy, and breezy conditions here. but for the rest of scotland, northern ireland, england and wales, variable amounts of cloud, light breezes and sunny intervals developing with highs of 13 in the north and 19 in the south. overnight much of the cloud will thin and break with clear skies and light winds, which is a recipe for mist and fog patches to form. the rain in the north and west turning heavier and the winds strengthening, but for the time of year not a particularly cold night for most of us. tonight we will still have the heavy rain across the north and west, but away from there for the rest of the uk, dry with sunny intervals, light winds and highs of up to 21.

the spinning hills area in east leicester, there have been a call for karma between the communities as they have come together and released a joint statement urging the piece and urging the younger members of their communities to find peace which has disturbed the area for weeks now, notjust over the past few days and one of the key messages was that the foreign ideology which seems to be an underlying tension has to be eliminated and they need to work together to try to restore peace and harmony.— to work together to try to restore peace and harmony. what have you been hearing _ peace and harmony. what have you been hearing from _ peace and harmony. what have you been hearing from people? - peace and harmony. what have you been hearing from people? i - peace and harmony. what have you | been hearing from people? i arrived in the evening _ been hearing from people? i arrived in the evening last _ been hearing from people? i arrived in the evening last night _ been hearing from people? i arrived in the evening last night and - in the evening last night and started to speak to people who have been impacted, people in eastern part of leicester, who have spoken about their fear of coming out of the street because they are worried about them or theirfamily the street because they are worried about them or their family members might be targeted with unprovoked attacks on a number of occasions.
12:33 pm
they say it's unprecedented and they have never felt unsafe in multicultural and diverse leicester were people from different backgrounds have lived harmoniously for years. we have been smoking to them. —— speaking to them. we have asked them what needs to happen. it has spilled over from social media and the communities today have spoken to me saying they want to restore peace and that they want to work together to restore that harmony but they are still a long way to go. harmony but they are still a long way to go— harmony but they are still a long way to go. let's return to pakistan now where england's cricketers will play their first game in the country for 17 years. security concerns have prevented any tours since 2005, and this series of t20 matches has taken on particular significance. the cricket commentator aatif nawaz told us more about the event. it's hugely significant. as you say, 17 years
12:34 pm
since the england team last visited. that's a very long time. for context, 17 years ago is when youtube had just been invented. and i believe destiny's child was still in the charts. it was a very long time ago. and of course england were due to visit it last year, they had to pull out because of security concerns and that threatened to damage this long—term friendship that the english cricket board and the pakistan cricket board had. but that looks like it is going to be on the right track now. a lot of those players are very popular, of course english players generally are considered superstars, some of the most popular and famous in the game. so it will be very exciting for the fans, of course considering what has been happening in the country of late, they are very much looking forward to a positive distraction. ajudge in the united states has quashed the murder conviction of a man from baltimore who's been in jail for more than 20 years. the case of adnan syed was highlighted in the true crime podcast, serial, which has been downloaded more than 300 million times. mr syed was convicted of killing his former girlfriend, hae min lee, but the podcast investigation raised doubts about the evidence.
12:35 pm
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
12:36 pm
— 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
12:37 pm
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. over the weekend, videos and images of the upcoming instalment in the grand theft auto series, gta 6, were leaked online in one of the biggest data breaches in gaming history. it led to shares in the company behind the game dropping, at one point, by 6%.
12:38 pm
ellie gibson is a gamesjournalist, and told us how significant grand theft auto is. well, it's absolutely massive. it's one of the biggest game franchises in the world, hugely popular. the last game was actually released nine years ago, so the anticipation for this sixth instalment in the series has been building for quite a while now. and so this leak then how big of a deal is it? again, a massive dealfor the gaming community and also for the company rockstar, who make the game. obviously it's nearly an hour of footage that's been released and that's quite a lot. and it's early footage. so it's stuff from the game that's in development we think from a few years ago. so it's not really showing off the game at its best. it's quite unpolished and it's taken a lot of flack amongst the community from people saying, look, this isn't really good enough for grand theft auto game.
12:39 pm
and of course, that's not really necessarily a fair criticism because it's not a finished game. yeah. so i mean, obviously people will, you would assume, accept and understand that because there's some way to go before the release. so in terms of the damage done by this leak, what would it be? well, there's two issues here. there's the issue with the damage done by the leak in terms of pr, because this is a company like most video game companies, that likes to very tightly control how it unveils its game and kind of drip feed the content to consumers. but there's also the issue of the source code that's been made. so the source code is kind of literally the thing that that runs the game, the nuts and bolts of the game, if you like. and if that has been leaked, then it means that rockstar�*s rivals could potentially look under the bonnet of the game and kind of see how it works, potentially steal some of the trademark ideas that make it so successful. and we saw that the shares had dropped at one point by 6%. that doesn't sound like a huge loss of faith. no, not hugely. again, i think this is one of the biggest game franchises in the world. excitement for it is so big,
12:40 pm
i'm not sure this is going to knock it in the long term in terms of sales. but i think definitely shareholders will be asking questions about how this breach happened, how the hack occurred, and what's going to be done in the future to prevent more hacks occurring. you mentioned the anticipation for the next in the series. it's nine years since the last one. why does it take so long for there to be updates? well, these games are absolutely huge. i mean, kind of physically almost in terms of these game worlds that exist within grand theft auto, they're massive. and also the way you play the games, these aren't linear games, they're open world games. so you're creating entire virtual environments where people have to be free to roam around. and the quality of polish is very, very high in terms of the voice acting and the animations and the missions that you have to do in the gameplay mechanics. all of those elements are done to a very, very high standard in the grand theft auto games, and that takes a huge amount of time to get right. so the company has obviously done what it can to take the leaked material offline.
12:41 pm
and what's the sort of understanding as to how it may have leaked ? well, they think there's this hacker who's previously he's hacked into uber, also via slack, which is the messaging app that these companies use to manage their work. so that's they think how the hacker, he or she has got in. and so yeah, it's really about what happens now. if this can happen to rockstar, then potentially could it happen to any other video games company or indeed any company? and are they confident that they've dealt with the security issues? what have they said? well, rockstar are notoriously private when it comes to not just the pr of their games, but also what's going on internally in terms of corporate management. but we do know they've come down very hard on this hacker in terms of they've gone around all the websites, all the forums, trying to get them to take down this material, which they're legally entitled to do because they do own the footage that's been leaked. they do have the copyright. so, yes, they've gone in very strong
12:42 pm
in terms of getting getting it all taken down. but of course, that's difficult because once something's on the internet, it's out there and it gets shared and it's very difficult to get it back in. rescue workers injapan have warned of mudslides and flooding, in the wake of super—typhoon nanmadol, which struck the north eastern coast of the country. it killed at least four people but has now been downgraded to a cyclone. our correspondent rupert wingfield—hayes in tokyo sent us the latest. as you say, the typhoon has now been downgraded and has broken up over northern japan. but for the last three days, it really has been a monster, monster storm, the likes of which japan has rarely seen, only a handful of other times a storm of this size in the last half century. and it's hit the southern island of kyushu on sunday. and then it has just churned right across the whole of japan over the last two and a half days and really bringing very destructive winds,150 mile an hourwinds, over 200 kilometre an hour winds, which have caused quite a lot
12:43 pm
of damage to electricity supplies and structural damage. but really, the big thing has been the amount of rain, really astonishing amounts of rain have fallen over western and centraljapan. in kyushu, they measured more than 70 centimetres of rain falling on sunday and into monday. and even in honshu, a0 centimetres of rain fell yesterday over western parts of honshu. so that's been the major problem causing a lot of local flooding. there is a concern still about the possibility of landslides and mudslides. as you said, the toll from this has been fortunately very small in terms of loss of human life. but it really has caused massive disruption right across japan for the last three days. what are scientists saying about linking this with climate change? well, they're absolutely linking it to climate change and also to the la nina phenomenon in the pacific ocean. this year, we're in a la nina year which will have exacerbated
12:44 pm
the size of this typhoon. but really, this is part of a trend which we're very clearly seeing. the data is very apparent. in the late 19705, the pacific ocean used to produce about one super typhoon a year. now we are seeing between four and five super typhoons developing in the western pacific every year. and that trend is expected to increase. not only are these storms getting bigger and more frequent, but they are moving further north away from the equator towards japan, china and the korean peninsula. and so this part of the world isjust getting battered more often by bigger storms. the headlines on bbc news: liz truss is in new york on her first trip abroad as prime minister. she will pledge at a un summit to manage military aid to ukraine in the next year. the new business secretary, jacob rees—mogg, is expected to set at the government's
12:45 pm
support package tomorrow to help businesses. the culture secretary estimates at least a 250,000 people queued to see the queen's coffin in london. the royalfamily is now observing another seven days of mourning. could italy — a founding member of the eu and its third—largest economy — be about to swing to the far right? that's what the polls suggest ahead of sunday's election, with giorgia meloni likely to become italy's first woman prime minister and first far—right leader since mussolini. as our italy correspondent mark lowen reports, it's dividing views across the country. catching the votes is no mean feat in palermo's ballaro market, where passions are culinary, not political. "i'm sick of those scoundrels," he said. "i'm not voting," she says — "they only think of themselves." in vibrant sicily, there is appetite for change,
12:46 pm
and the far—right brothers of italy of giorgia meloni looks set on it. sonia has never voted until now. translation: i like the right wing's anti-migrant policy. _ i am not racist, but it's a mess when the people of colour here fight. meloni attracts me because she's a woman, a mum, and has grit. we women are the strongest, we'll change the mood here. that's echoed in the zen neighbourhood, one of europe's most deprived — youth unemployment at 80%. a citizen income's, a handout for the poor, helped the populist five star movement win the last election. but many say it hasn't solved the root problem and are changing their vote. translation: we hoped five star would change things. _ but they were all talk and no action, and there are still no jobs. translation: | think |'u go | for meloni, because we want this area cleaned up so it's safer at night.
12:47 pm
you can't even get rid of the rubbish because it's swarming with rats. across the country, in the northern city of modena, politics of a different flavour at the festival of the centre—left. tastes and debates are different here, focused on how to stop the far right. away from meloni land, here they worry that her conservative nationalism could endanger liberal democracy. italy is as divided as it is diverse, a country always swung between governments and ideologies of every colour — in a constant search for its political identity. meloni's identity, she says, is not fascist but socially conservative, roaring yes to the natural family, no to the lgbt lobby at a rally of her spanish far—right allies. that strikes fear into italy's same—sex families. we are more than scared.
12:48 pm
we are terrified. giorgia meloni's strategy is to define enemies. she seems all the time angry. angry with people that don't represent her idea of society. but i think that, in this society, there should be a place for everyone. that's a democracy. and so a choice about the country they will grow up in — which way it looks, and how free they will feel. mark lowen, bbc news, in a divided italy. like many countries across europe, spain is struggling with the rising cost of living. the government of socialist, pedro sanchez, has taken a range of initiatives in an effort to mitigate the impact of soaring prices, but it's under pressure to go further. guy hedgecoe reports from madrid. commuters in northern madrid make the most of a new government scheme,
12:49 pm
offering free train travel on shorterjourneys. this measure, which will remain in place across spain over the next four months, aims to help counter the spiralling cost of living. the petrol cost is really high right now and this initiative or this opportunity is saving a lot of money for people because for instance, in my case i am going by car every day, twice a week, 60 kilometres per day to go by train forforfree. what i see, especially in people my age, is that we make... we don't make a lot of money because salaries are not very high. in recent months, spanish inflation has been hovering around 10%, with rising fuel and energy costs a particular concern. the free rail travel initiative is just one of several measures the spanish government has taken recently in an effort to try and counter the rising cost of living.
12:50 pm
since april, a discount of 20 euros cents per litre has been offered at petrol pumps funded by the government and energy companies. and more recently, vat on gas was slashed to 5%. electricity and gas now cost 50% more than a year ago. this has helped push up the price of products such as food, which has increased by 14% when prices have gone up. tranlation: everything is costing more, whether it's olive oil - or electricity or water. so we've put prices up. it's been a perfect storm. salaries don't go up, but the prices go up. we're all up to our necks. leftist coalition government of pedro sanchez says it's doing everything possible to protect consumers, but it's facing mounting pressure to do more. in this recent parliamentary debate. the opposition said the government's measures to combat inflation were barely having any effect.
12:51 pm
earlier this year, haulage workers staged a strike over fuel prices. more protests are being prepared as workers demand wage rises to match inflation. translation: nobody thought that inflation was going - to shoot up like this. we're going to combine negotiation with protests on the street with the ultimate aim of ensuring that the salaries of the workers of this country maintain their purchasing power while the government braces itself for a wave of social discontent this autumn. spanish families are preparing for more hardship. more on the disorder in leicester, a man has beenjailed, 25 police officers were injured after tensions involving mainly young men from sections of the muslim and hindu

12:53 pm
because the police were not doing anything and these hindu gangs were going around tormenting muslims. as a result of that, there has been a series of escalations over the past few weeks where hindus have said that muslims have attacked us and certainly they have been videos going around of hindu religious symbols being ripped off peoples homes, or people being attacked and muslims, similarly, have been saying that we and our businesses are being attacked, homes being attacked, they have passed around videos showing that. as a result of that there has been a steady escalation on social media to the point where it's got to this weekend when you saw hundreds of hindus coming into the city from mostly outside leicester and then as a result of that, muslims in leicester also mobilising themselves saying we need to stand up and it turned into a stand off across the

12:56 pm
claim. leicester police said this is not true. but because that misinformation is being spread around on a social media, in the uk, and it's being aggravated and amplified by actors in india, it is making the whole situation far more volatile and is making people think that the local police is not willing to help them, that they need their own community to help them and protect them and that made the situation worse.— situation worse. thank you for 'oinin: situation worse. thank you for joining us- _ situation worse. thank you for joining us. right _ situation worse. thank you for joining us. right now- situation worse. thank you for joining us. right now it's - situation worse. thank you for joining us. right now it's time| situation worse. thank you for i joining us. right now it's time for the weather. hello again. as we go through this week, it will turn that bit warmer, and towards the end of the week, some of us will see some heavier rain. we've got some light rain currently across the north and the west of scotland, breezy conditions here. for the rest of the uk, we're looking at a lot of dry weather, some bright or sunny intervals developing, and temperatures 13—19 degrees in just light breezes.
12:57 pm
now for this evening's rush hour, if anything, the rain could well turn a little bit heavier across the north and the west, the wind picking up a little bit here as well. but for the rest of scotland, largely dry, again with variable amounts of cloud and some sunny breaks. some cloud and some sunshine across northern ireland to end the afternoon, and it's the same across northern ireland, the brighter skies in the north—west, across the midlands, down towards the south—east and parts of the south—west. wales also seeing some sunny intervals. but through this evening and overnight, we continue to see the cloud break up, and in light breezes once again we'll see some mist and some fog patches forming, the rain turning that little bit heavier across the north—west and the winds continuing to strengthen here. but not a particularly cold night for the time of year. tomorrow, then, the rain will be heavier across the north and the west, but you can see most of us will be dry. any mist and fog overnight will lift quite quickly, there'll be sunny intervals developing, an outside chance
12:58 pm
of an isolated shower across southern scotland or northern england, but most will miss them. and we're looking at temperatures a little bit higher at 21 degrees. now, as we head from wednesday into thursday, we've got this new, more active weather front coming our way. it's moving in across scotland and northern ireland and heading down into england and wales slowly. around it, it'll be quite windy. behind it, wind will tend to drop. so ahead of it, we start off with a lot of dry weather, some sunshine. the rain crossing scotland in northern ireland will be heavy, don't forget, blustery around it, and then behind it hit brightens up. but ahead of it, the cloud continues to build as that weather front continues its descent southeastwards. temperatures 1a to about 20 degrees. this weather front will continue down into the south as we head through friday. so for england and for wales, there will be some rain around. but into the weekend, it's looking dry for many of us.
1:00 pm
higher energy bills are a price worth paying, says the prime minister, to safeguard the country's security. but liz truss acknowledges higher costs can't be fully passed on to individuals, as the government starts to lay out its priorities. our overarching priority is to grow the economy, to help people with the cost of living, and of course to tackle the problems within the nhs. we'll look ahead to a busy week in politics. also this lunchtime: the inquest opens into the death of molly russell, the iii—year—old who took her own life after being exposed to harmful content online. after the queen's funeral yesterday, members of the royal family step back from public engagements to continue a week of private mourning.
