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 14—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. a warning of a second disaster in pakistan, as health officials see a sharp increase in waterborne diseases following the country's devastating floods. a usjudge quashes the murder conviction of adnan syed, jailed more than 20 years ago for killing his ex—girlfriend in a case highlighted by a hugely popular podcast. and coming up on the bbc news channel, captain sarah hunter leads an england squad of 32 players selected for the women's rugby world cup. it includes two young forwards, and there's a couple of high—profile omissions.

good afternoon and welcome to the bbc news at one. the prime minister, who's flown to the us to meet world leaders at the united nations, has said higher energy bills are a price worth paying in order to safeguard the country's long—term security. liz truss said that not every measure she announces will be popular, but she acknowledged that high gas and electricity costs couldn't be passed on fully to households and businesses. the chancellor is due to unveil the government's economic plans in a mini budget on friday. here's our political correspondent damian grammaticas has this report. the crowds have gone, the lines of mourners too. the moment slipping into history. and as it does, the preoccupations of now are springing back. chief among those, the surging

cost of living. help for families has already been promised, and tomorrow we should hear what might be done for businesses too. the ener: be done for businesses too. the energy price _ be done for businesses too. tue: energy price guarantee be done for businesses too. tt;e: energy price guarantee for be done for businesses too. tt9 energy price guarantee for consumers is for two years, we will do similar for businesses for up to six months, then we will be offering additional tailored support, and details will be announced by the business secretary this week perhaps, so they will be getting that clarity. i agree, i understand completely why they want that clarity and assurance as we head towards the colder months. i promised i would deal with the soaring — i promised i would deal with the soaring energy prices... the energy ca . soaring energy prices... the energy ca- was soaring energy prices... the energy cap was the — soaring energy prices... the energy cap was the first — soaring energy prices... the energy cap was the first announcement - soaring energy prices... the energy cap was the first announcement liz | cap was the first announcement liz truss made after becoming prime minister a fortnight ago. it will cost billions. so coming back too are the arguments about how it should be paid for. the are the arguments about how it should be paid for.— should be paid for. the real dividin: should be paid for. the real dividing line, _ should be paid for. the real dividing line, the _ should be paid for. the real dividing line, the real- should be paid for. the real- dividing line, the real difference here is who is going to pay for it, and if you look at the oil and gas giants' excess profits, we know from

treasury documents there are £170 billion worth of excess profits in the next couple of years, and for the next couple of years, and for the government to rule out looking at asking for a contribution from those excess profits, we think it is just wrong. the those excess profits, we think it is just wrong-— those excess profits, we think it is 'ust wronu. :, :, ,, just wrong. the death of the queen thrust the new _ just wrong. the death of the queen thrust the new prime _ just wrong. the death of the queen thrust the new prime minister, - just wrong. the death of the queen thrust the new prime minister, just| thrust the new prime minister, just two days into office, into an unexpected role. now, the funeral past, liz truss is headed to new york, along with other world leaders. president biden headed from london too. liz truss will meet him but i said a trade deal with the us, something she once hoped to see, will not happen anytime soon. liz truss will not happen anytime soon. l2 truss said will not happen anytime soon. lz truss said that three years ago it was her main priority to get a deal with the us, and in that time she's managed to secure other trade deals, admittedly not very good and they have created a lot of red tape for businesses and quite frankly they have sold our farmers down the river, but she has focused on other deals and has not even managed to get this one off the starting blocks. i don't think it is

realpolitik, it a reflection of the fact that liz truss as trade secretary and foreign secretary has taken the wrong approach, it has alienated our allies, including the us, so they don't want to do a deal with us. , , , with us. the un is where liz truss will make a _ with us. the un is where liz truss will make a debut _ with us. the un is where liz truss will make a debut on _ with us. the un is where liz truss will make a debut on the - with us. the un is where liz truss will make a debut on the world . will make a debut on the world stage. it is back home where urgent issues are white. energy prices, inflation, families and businesses all under strain — problems piling up all under strain — problems piling up for her return from the us. damian grammaticas, bbc news, westminster. let's talk to our chief political correspondent nick eardley and, yes, after a hiatus, that is a reminder of how many issues are facing this relatively new government. absolutely, liz truss is a new york today, trying to say to other world leaders, let's stick by ukraine, those higher bills, that households and businesses are facing, are worth it to stick by an ally. but there was pressure is back at home that

have largely faded into the background for the past ten days are going to come roaring back to the foreground over the next few, and it's going to be a big test for this government, exactly how it plans to deal with them. so we'll get more details, as damian was saying, tomorrow on the support package for business, and then later this week there will be a really fundamental moment for this government when it tries to set out its plan to grow the economy, with the chancellor, kwasi kwarteng, standing up for that brief mini budget. now, we have a rough idea what it's going to look like, because he set out his two things that he really wants to achieve in the job. things that he really wants to achieve in thejob. 0ne things that he really wants to achieve in thejob. one is cutting tax. he thinks that will stimulate growth. and two, cutting regulation, red tape. this government believes thatis red tape. this government believes that is something else that can help it achieve its goal of growing the economy. labourare it achieve its goal of growing the economy. labour are going to argue that it economy. labour are going to argue thatitis economy. labour are going to argue that it is going the wrong way about it, that it should actually be

taxing the big energy companies more, because they are making record profits, and are saying that the growth that the government was planning is not aimed at the right people, pointing for example to plans to remove the cap on bankers' bonuses, saying it is the wrong priority. but fundamentally for this government, it's a big challenge now is going to be showing that it can deliver, and as we heard endymion�*s piece there, that is often easier said than done. it was liz truss who said than done. it was liz truss who said a big priority was a trade deal with the us, it is liz truss saying today that she thinks that is now several years off. when it comes to the economy and energy bills, she will not have that sort of wiggle room. : ~' will not have that sort of wiggle room. w' :, ~' will not have that sort of wiggle room. a :, ~ ,:, will not have that sort of wiggle room. :, ~ y:, :, will not have that sort of wiggle room. :, ~ :, :, room. nick, thank you for now, nick eardle . and we will find out more about support with energy bills for businesses tomorrow. our business correspondent caroline davies is here. they have been crying out for help, just as households have. thea;r they have been crying out for help, just as households have. they have, and the crucial _ just as households have. they have, and the crucial thing _ just as households have. they have, and the crucial thing is _ just as households have. they have, and the crucial thing is whether - just as households have. they have, and the crucial thing is whether the l and the crucial thing is whether the government will deliver tomorrow. it

is notjust about controlling energy costs for households, but about businesses too. now, businesses are not covered by the energy price cap, which we know households will be covered by, but the government has said they will get a similar level of support for six months. the reason this is really important is because businesses have seen energy costs rise dramatically, some say by “p costs rise dramatically, some say by up to five times the amount they were previously paying, so they either pass that on and there will be inflation or they reduce the amount they are producing, reduce the number of people they are employing, even closed their doors altogether, which of course has a major impact on the economy and the country. now, the government has said it will offer similar support for six months, tomorrow we find out how that is going to work and how much support that will be, where it is going to be in place. there is going to be a review after the six—month period, but that is a big concern for businesses too, because many of them are worried they might not be included, and they would be hard pushed to find a business that

does not do you'd energy. now, the other big question is, of course, prime minister liz truss was saying today that this is a price worth paying to be able to cover these energy costs, but the big question is, how big is this price going to be? there have been estimates of an eye watering amounts of £150 billion. we are expected to know a bit more about the government's estimate for that later this week, but the reality is, because this is all based on gas prices, it is difficult to know how high it is going to go, and the crucial thing is it will have to be paid back at some point. is it will have to be paid back at some point-— is it will have to be paid back at some point. is it will have to be paid back at some oint. , :, :, :, ~' ,:, some point. yes. caroline, thank you very much. — some point. yes. caroline, thank you very much, caroline _ some point. yes. caroline, thank you very much, caroline davies. - the inquest has opened into the death of a teenage girl who took her own life five years ago after being exposed to harmful content online. 14—year—old molly russell viewed large numbers of social media posts about depression, suicide and self—harm. angus crawford is at the hearing in north london. angus.

they say is both an intensely private moment for the family, hoping to find some answers, and a very public inquiry into the effects of social media on young minds. as the online safety bill makes its way through westminster, this inquest will be closely watched — at westminster and in silicon valley. a family wanting answers —

i remember my disbelief when i saw my lifeless youngest daughter. he's actually sort of put his loss, his pain and his agony into trying to make sure that this doesn't happen to other families. and anyway, it's a david and goliath story, isn't it? it contains material that i'm sure is going to be very upsetting. - it's taken years for the family's legal team to get the tech companies to tell them what was on molly's accounts — files and files of evidence. there was just no let—up for molly, this is relentless. now, finally, the court gets to see it too.

this is an inquest, no—one is on trial here, but later in the process, the executives from meta and pinterest will have to give evidence under oath about what they have been doing and are currently doing to keep people safe online. angus, thank you. angus crawford. the royal family are observing another week of mourning for queen elizabeth, who was buried yesterday in a private service at windsor castle. for seven days, members of the royal family won't be carrying out official engagements. the government revealed this morning that about 250,000 people saw the queen lying in state at westminster hall. 0ur correspondent charlotte gallagher is in windsor. charlotte. and you can really imagine king charles and the rest of the royal family breathing a sigh of relief,

portugal handled their libel challenge, following goncalo amaral�*s claims in a book that they were involved in their daughter's disappearance. the couple have three months to appeal. madeleine mccann disappeared from a holiday resort in the algarve in may 2007. a 20—year—old man has become the first to be jailed following violent scenes in leicester at the weekend. amos noronha was sentenced to ten months in prison after admitting possessing an offensive weapon. nearly 50 people have been arrested after disorder involving men from the hindu and muslim communities, sparked by india winning a cricket match against pakistan last month. navtej johal reports. the sight of a city being damaged — notjust its streets and property but also its reputation. leicester has prided itself on being a place where people from different backgrounds live peacefully side by side.

on saturday night, after weeks of incidents and arrests involving mainly young men from parts of the south asian hindu and muslim communities, large—scale disorder broke out in the city. for the first time, it has left people living here feeling worried. have you ever seen anything like what happened here on saturday night before? to be honest, no, no. this is a very, very a surprise, to be honest. because just recently, two weeks ago or three weeks ago it started, but we've been here for quite some time. we all live in harmony and peace, and there is no problem at all. people around here are feeling scared? yeah, people are scared. i'm living here 20 years. i've never seen here like this. sikhs have got the gurdwara, hindus have got temples, . muslims have got mosques. you know, everybody, l they are doing their own things, you know, not. fighting with each other. the reasons why things came to a head here on saturday night are complicated.

we've spoken to lots of people in this city in recent days, and they've cited everything from disinformation on social media to tensions in indian politics playing out on the streets of leicester. community leaders in the city also say that people outside of leicester have come to fan the flames of conflict here. and they say a widely reported violent incident after a recent cricket match between india and pakistan was not the start of this. it's been brewing slowly, slowly, slowly, and what happened at cricket acted as a trigger. my personal feeling is that if it was just people from leicester, this would have calmed down. i feel there's outside influences here, and they are not welcome. there's been posters we've seen of people saying, "let's all congregate and go to leicester," from both sections. this isn't helping anybody, and what it is doing is escalating the tension. and every time we feel something is calming down, there's an eruption again. dozens have now been arrested over the past few weeks.

some of them from outside the city. and a 20—year—old man has been sent to prison for ten months in connection with the disorder on saturday. but the fear and concern following recent events here will take time to address. navtejjohal, bbc news, leicester. the time is 1:19. our top story this lunchtime: the prime minister says higher energy bills are a price worth paying, to safeguard the country's security. still to come: # she won't forsake me... what are we doing?! # i'm loving angels instead...# we talk to robbie williams, still performing 25 years after his first solo album. coming up on the bbc news channel: jordan henderson is added to the english squad for the nations league matches against italy and germany. the liverpool captain has recovered from injury and replaces a player who hasn't, manchester city's kalvin phillips.

health officials in pakistan have told the bbc they've seen a sharp increase in waterborne diseases, in the wake of devastating floods which saw a third of the country submerged. the head of the world health organization has warned of a second disaster, as cases of illnesses like malaria, dengue and diahorrea rise rapidly, including in children. some of those affected say aid still hasn't reached them. one of the most badly affected regions is sindh province, from where our south asia correspondent, rajini vaidya nathan, reports. large swathes of pakistan remain under water. in sindh, the worst affected province, hundreds of thousands have set up shelter on this river bank.

families who came here seeking sanctuary now fending off the threat of disease. living near stagnant water has led to a sharp rise in illnesses like malaria, dengue and diarrhoea. in the distance, where rashida's home once stood. she's eight months pregnant and now lives here with her seven children. rashida tells me they're falling sick. translation: they've got fever. they're coughing. they're throwing up. loads of mosquitoes have bitten them. i don't have money to take them to a doctor. i'm pregnant and i don't even know if i am healthy. an endless struggle to find food and clean water. the world health organization has warned of a second disaster due to this spike in disease. officials say it could take many months for the water levels to recede.

and so for families here, the uncertainty continues. they don't know whether or when they'll be able to return home. as well as facing the risk of disease, they're also dealing with a huge mental burden, living a life in limbo. many in these camps say they're struggling for the basics. the government says it's doing all it can to distribute aid. until then, all these families can do is wait. rajini vaidyanathan, bbc news, sindh province. plans to ban single—use carrier bags and plastic drinking straws ajudge in the us has quashed a man's murder conviction — after his case was highlighted by one of the world's most popular podcasts. adnan syed was 19 when he was jailed for life for killing his ex—girlfriend, who was found dead in woods in baltimore in 1999. the podcast serial, which has been downloaded hundreds david willis sent this report. cheering, screaming.

adnan syed allowed himselfjust the faintest of smiles as he left court after 23 years in jail. his supporters have long maintained his innocence, yet every appeal over the course of the last two decades has been denied. adnan syed was found guilty of strangling his former high—school sweetheart, hae min lee, and burying her body in a shallow grave. she was 18 at the time of her death, he was 17. and were it not for one of the foremost true—crime podcasts, mr syed might have been destined to spend the rest of his life behind bars. the most popular podcast in the world at the time, serial not only focused worldwide attention on the case but raised serious questions about the validity of his conviction — doubts prosecutors in mr syed's home town of baltimore came to share when they set about re—examining the evidence. at their behest, a judge has now

overturned his conviction, and released him pending the completion of the new inquiry. there were gasps and applause in the courtroom as the judge gave the order for mr syed's shackles to be removed. through our review, our re—investigation revealed that the original prosecutors and the subsequent prosecutors in the attorney general�*s office failed to disclose relevant information about alternative suspects — one of whom threatened to kill the victim and had motive to kill the victim, and both of whom had a pattern of violence against women. prosecutors are waiting on the outcome of new dna tests using technology that was unavailable at the time of the trial. but if he didn't kill hae min lee, then who did? this re—examination of the evidence more than two decades after her death has left the victim's family feeling betrayed. my clients, all they wanted was information. they want the truth to come out. if the truth is that someone else killed their sister, daughter,

they want to know that more than anybody. they were shut out of the legal process by the court and the state's attorney's office, and it was inexcusable. 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. england's cricketers are this afternoon playing their first game in pakistan for 17 years. security concerns have prevented any tours after an attack on the sri lanka team by gunmen in 2009. so after such a long time away, this series of t20 matches has new significance, asjoe wilson reports from karachi. with good reason, karachi gives itself this title. home to around 16 million residents, on a sunday

afternoon, so many of them are playing cricket. but some of the people here weren't even born the last time england toured pakistan. after 17 years, this is their chance. yes, i am going to the stadium to watch all matches. we all so appreciate the england team coming to pakistan. it's a safe country. i like that. well, this is what it takes to make the series happen. it's how the teams are escorted just to training sessions. security fears had kept touring sides away. england are here for seven t20 matches in all, and will be captained initially by moeen ali, who grew up in birmingham with strong pakistani heritage. of course, it feels safe. with england not coming here for so long, it's just been really sad, and it's been i guess quite depressing for a lot of people, and i think the fact that we are here now and hopefully in the future we will come many

times more, is a great time going forward. ——times more, is a great sign going forward. for me to be part of that is amazing. the teams have actually been sharing evening training sessions, with the ground split in two — pakistan on one side and england on the other. same time, almost same place. there is no competition without cooperation. in a country where normal life has been challenged so severely recently, cricket is the distraction, the entertainment. whatever is needed, it matters that england are finally back here. joe wilson, bbc news, karachi. it's exactly 25 years since robbie williams released his debut solo album — and to celebrate he's recorded new versions of his best—known songs with an orchestra. the album is called "25" and has gone straight to the top of the charts, giving him a record breaking 14th 0ur entertainment correspondent colin paterson has been talking to him. # let me entertain you...#.

so, an album to celebrate 25 years of being a solo star. what made you want to revisit the songs with an orchestra? my management said that we should mark the anniversary of 25 years because it's important to mark anniversaries. i was like, if you say so, 0k. and i understand now why you mark anniversaries. you get to look back and go, maybe i was closer to what i wanted to achieve than i actually first thought. # no regrets now # they only hurt...#. my big feeling is, my best years professionally could have been from when i was 16 to 21, when i was in take that. and then it could have all been downhill. i know how brittle my ego is, and i know how

to be a has—been or a was—what or whatever it was that would have happened to me after take that, i'm incredibly grateful that the ship still goes forward. # she won't forsake me... what are we doing? # i'm loving angels instead...#. the other huge thing was you playing glastonbury in 1998. next year, the 25th anniversary of that, what about you for the legend slot? yeah, that would be cool, actually. i'd like to do that. i'd like another go round on that stage and feel that audience and get the chance to do it, yeah. there's only one problem... what? the spice girls say they want it. oh, really? yeah. next year? they sent an envoy this year — mel c was there. really? mm. their wirral ambassador. no, then. that's like, the spice girls trumps robbie williams, so maybe i'll have to wait. you were the opening act at the queen's diamond jubilee concert. what are your memories of that,

and of meeting the queen? to shut down that part of london in front of the palace, it was such a momentous occasion. and meeting the queen is, you know, it's a mixture of honour and terror. don't want to get this wrong. what did she mean to you? more now than ever, weirdly, she's always been a motherly figure that is the head of our nation, and it's provided some sort of safety over the years that you don't realise is happening until she passes away. and then i think she becomes even more important. i don't think there could have been anybody on the planet that would have done as good a job as she did for the job she was asked to do, which is, yeah, incredible.

robbie williams was talking to colin patterson. time for a look at the weather.
