in leicester between muslim and hindu communities. a usjudge has quashed a murder conviction in a case that spawned adnan syed was 19 when he was sentenced to life in prison. 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. 0ur 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 forfamilies has already been promised, and tomorrow we should hear what might be done for businesses too. the 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 energy prices... the energy 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 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 government to rule out looking at asking for a contribution from those excess profits, we think is just wrong. the death of the queen 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 there from london, too. liz truss will meet him but said a trade deal with the us, something she once hoped to see, will not happen anytime soon. liz 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 right now. the un is where liz truss will make her debut on the world stage. it's back home where urgent issues await. energy prices, inflation, families and businesses all under strain — problems piling up for her return from the us. damian grammaticas, bbc news, westminster. and damian is in westminster. so many people will be waiting

desperately for the detail of the help and the plans the government has but for some people, there is one cafe owner this morning who said it was too late, he had to hand back the keys because he did not know if he would be able to afford the bills. there is talk of support for businesses but we don't have the detail on that.— businesses but we don't have the detail on that. ., ., �* �* detail on that. no, we don't. a huge source of concern _ detail on that. no, we don't. a huge source of concern and _ detail on that. no, we don't. a huge source of concern and already - detail on that. no, we don't. a huge source of concern and already many| source of concern and already many businesses really struggling and receiving those bills and notifications of exactly how high this is going to go. and many wondering what they will be able to do. tomorrow we should get some details of that announced from the government, but as you say, for some companies already it is too late. the government says, what liz truss has shed, she is concerned that for some it might be too late but that this will be in place for six months and that will only get companies through the winter and in the meantime the government is going to

look at discussing with businesses and the treasury what can happen after that, they are talking about targeted support after the winter and after six months, but that is still quite a lot of uncertainty for businesses where households and families and individuals have been told that their price cap is going told that their price cap is going to be in place for this winter and through the next winter as well, so longer term certainty for that side. all of that comes at huge cost when you add it together, so how does the government proposed to pay for it? will we learn that on friday? this is one area _ will we learn that on friday? this is one area as _ will we learn that on friday? this is one area as you _ will we learn that on friday? ti 3 is one area as you heard in the report where there is a considerable argument about this, because the costis argument about this, because the cost is going to be huge and open—ended because what the government has said for individuals and families is that there will be a cap on the unit price of energy, every unit of energy used will be capped but what they don't know is what the wholesale price, the price

on the market, that companies have got to buy out, how much higher that will be and how long that is going to stay at those levels, so what the difference is the government is going to be making up effectively. the projection is tens of billions over the course of the period that the support will be offered and what the support will be offered and what the government has been indicating is that they believe the way to fund this is to economic growth, liz truss says through going the size of the pie and therefore having more government and a bigger economy and more government income and being able to pay this off but essentially this will be paid off by borrowing and the opposition say, shouldn't the energy companies who are making billions in unexpected windfall profits be taxed at a higher rate? those enormously high energy prices mean that some who are producing energy are making enormously high profits, so could that not be taken and find out least some billions towards the cost of this? the

government says it doesn't like the idea of putting those taxes on and it believes it discourages investment and should not happen but that argument will play out in the next few weeks.— that argument will play out in the next few weeks. thanks for “oining us. world leaders are arriving in new york for a meeting of the united nations. the tone will be set by the director—general of the un, antonio guterres. they will be looking at a range of issues including climate change and the war in ukraine. 0ur correspondent laura trevelyan joins us live from the united nations. she will be meeting president macron

and president biden, today and tomorrow respectively, liz truss, although she's no stranger to the un as she has been here as trade secretary and foreign secretary, but speaking to those on the plane from london to new york she says there are no negotiations under way with the us over a trade deal between the countries, that was promised by conservative ministers in the wake of brexit, as a way to increase britain a's economic capability and to make the country richer and she also said she did not have any expectation there would be negotiations in the short and medium term. that might be because the us is very disapproving of the idea that the uk is going to renegotiate the northern ireland protocol, the way that trading with northern ireland after brexit is organised, because the biden administration and the president is a proud irish american, he believes any renegotiation could destabilise the good friday agreement which bought

peace to northern ireland 25 years ago. so that is a sticking point for liz truss and she has acknowledged there won't be a trade deal in the short term. she will meet president biden tomorrow and they will be on the same page regarding ukraine and they will want to increase support for ukraine so it can build on its current successes against russia in the counteroffensive that we have seen there in ukraine. fin the counteroffensive that we have seen there in ukraine.— the counteroffensive that we have seen there in ukraine. on one of our outside sources _ seen there in ukraine. on one of our outside sources antonio _ seen there in ukraine. on one of our outside sources antonio guterres - seen there in ukraine. on one of our outside sources antonio guterres is l outside sources antonio guterres is speaking, and in any year there are multiple priorities but this year more than any other it feels like it is an impossible task to choose what he would want the un general assembly to focus on, such as the magnitude of everything at the moment. . , , moment. that is right. it is overwhelming. _ moment. that is right. it is overwhelming. the - moment. that is right. it is overwhelming. the un - overwhelming. the un secretary—general has begun his speech by focusing on a bit of hope and he has talked about the ships which have left the blockaded

ukrainian ports carrying grain to the rest of the world, that was a un brokered deal with turkey and russia, so that russia would stop shelling so ukrainian ships could leave those ports in the south of the country carrying grain, so he is focusing on that to begin with. but he is due to saying his remarks that the world is in peril and it is paralysed its response. he will say that the geostrategic divides in the world are at their worst since the cold war so it is a very difficult situation. the war in ukraine has that revealed how polarised the world is, so you have china backing up world is, so you have china backing up russia to some degree and then the west on the other side. the sanctions on russia have further polarised the world and the global southis polarised the world and the global south is saying that they wore in ukraine is having a terrible impact because of rising food and energy prices —— is saying that the war in ukraine for top we have had the

likes of the flooding in pakistan, so a very grim backdrop here as the leaders gather. in so a very grim backdrop here as the leaders gather-— leaders gather. in the opening statement _ leaders gather. in the opening statement from _ leaders gather. in the opening statement from antonio - leaders gather. in the opening - statement from antonio guterres, he has warned of an upcoming winter of discontent as he puts it, so pulling together those elements that you have outlined, and saying that we have outlined, and saying that we have a winter of discontent ahead and of course speaking for the global picture as well. for those who are not familiar with the way the un general assembly works, what happens? at the end of it, do they agree on actual concrete steps? do they agree on principles to follow? what difference does all of this actually make?— what difference does all of this actuall make? ,, . ., , ., actually make? such a good question. the criticism — actually make? such a good question. the criticism is _ actually make? such a good question. the criticism is that _ actually make? such a good question. the criticism is that it _ actually make? such a good question. the criticism is that it is _ actually make? such a good question. the criticism is that it is just _ actually make? such a good question. the criticism is that it is just a - the criticism is that it is just a gab fest, but this is the general debate section of the united nations general assembly and it is just that. world leaders come and they

deliver their speech, so from listening to the different speeches of the different world leaders you can figure out where everybody is coming from on these big issues of the day but they don't formally come together in the setting of the general assembly to agree on anything. the action is on the sidelines. that is where foreign ministers will huddle, that is where prime ministers will meet. liz truss will meet the french president emmanuel macron and she will be asked afterwards, did he say if he was a friend or foe? the asked afterwards, did he say if he was a friend orfoe? the real deal—making is done on the sidelines. they call that here the diplomatic speed dating, if you were to look at the agenda for liz truss she is probably having tens of 20s of different meetings with the key people she needs to talk to about ukraine, relations with the eu and so forth, so you have the grand stage of the general assembly where world leaders speak and then you have the quiet diplomacy that is

done on the sidelines. qm. have the quiet diplomacy that is done on the sidelines. ok, laura, thanks for— done on the sidelines. ok, laura, thanks forjoining _ done on the sidelines. ok, laura, thanks forjoining us. _ 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. ia 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. a family wanting answers — why did molly die, and what part did social media play? ahead of them, two weeks in court, hundreds of pages of evidence, containing many thousands of images, some too distressing to broadcast. a bright, apparently happy teenager, molly was just ia when she took her own life. going through her social—media accounts, her father ian discovered

she was being bombarded with content about suicide, depression and self—harm — on instagram, pinterest and other apps. the corporate culture at these platforms needs to change... since then, he's become a high—profile campaigner for internet safety, and for many has made a huge impact on the debate. i remember my disbelief when i saw my lifeless youngest daughter. that moment, my old life stopped. ian has been absolutely magnificent, because, you know, from the very beginning, he's actually sort of put his loss, his pain and his agony into trying to make sure that this doesn't happen to other families. and 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. let's talk to our correspondent, ellie price, who is at the cornoner�*s court in north london. what's happened this morning?. there has been legal argument this morning about those files and files of evidence that angus was talking about in that report, the reams of social media posts that molly had been looking at in the six months before she died. quite shocking numbers here, she had looked at instagram i20 numbers here, she had looked at instagram 120 times per day and had liked more than 11,000 posts on instagram and 15,000 pages on pinterest and those were the legal arguments we were looking at, as to whether the media can report any of

those pages that she had been looking at. at the heart of the inquest is too far, the inquest into the death of a 14—year—old girl and the death of a 14—year—old girl and the circumstances around which she died after she took her own life —— the heart of the inquest is twofold for top people say it is significant because this is the first time these tech companies will be held to account, how and if they are protecting younger users and representatives from tech companies will be called to the inquest in person during the process and questioned by the coroner about the processes they use to protect younger users. it is the first time anyone from these companies will be questioned under oath in a uk court so campaigners think this is an incredibly significant moment, because there is legislation going through parliament at westminster at the same time looking at online safety. worth mentioning that the coroner also indicated he will look at algorithms and that is the way in

which our social media use is fired at us, similar pages to the ones you are looked at are sent to you in a way to get you hooked on a certain subject. the coroner will be looking at that to see if some of those dreadful images and those dreadful subjects on depression and self—harm and suicide and whether any of that played a part in molly's death. this is not a process _ played a part in molly's death. this is not a process originating blame or anything like this, it is about establishing the fact and what led to her death? that establishing the fact and what led to her death?— establishing the fact and what led to her death? that is right. no one is on trial- — to her death? that is right. no one is on trial. the _ to her death? that is right. no one is on trial. the process _ to her death? that is right. no one is on trial. the process of- to her death? that is right. no one is on trial. the process of an - is on trial. the process of an inquest is to find out who, what, where and when, but it is significant that a coroner does have powers at the end of the process, if he sees fit, that he can write to a company or a government department to find a way and to see what action they can take to prevent further

deaths, so there is significance at the end of the process. molly's parents are in court today, and it is expected that janet will be talking about the moment she found the body of her lifeless daughter, we are likely to hear from the police, as well, and we will hear more of that evidence, those social media posts that molly had been looking at and then of course we will hear from those representatives of instagram and pinterest and the process is likely to take two weeks. we will continue to follow this with great interest. thanks macro. —— thanks macro. 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 10 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, - 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. navteonhal, bbc news, leicester. the parents of madeleine mccann have lost the latest stage of a legal battle in their libel action about claims made by a portuguese police detective. kate and gerry mccann appealed to the european court of human rights about the portuguese court'sjudgement — 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. the idea is put forward as part of the welsh government's cooperation agreement with plaid cymru and could give individual councils the power to charge a levy on all overnight stays. many within the tourism industry say to the wrong time to be thinking about extra taxes during the cost of living crisis. brendan williams reports. the tourism industry is worth £6 billion per year and many think this

is a worrying idea. we billion per year and many think this is a worrying idea.— billion per year and many think this is a worrying idea. we have been one ofthe is a worrying idea. we have been one of the biggest — is a worrying idea. we have been one of the biggest tourist _ is a worrying idea. we have been one of the biggest tourist attractions - of the biggest tourist attractions in north wales and the last thing we need after covid is a tax on tourism because this is one of the biggest sectors in north wales and to put a tax on top seems ludicrous, especially at this time. the rose government _ especially at this time. the rose government says _ especially at this time. the rose government says a _ especially at this time. the rose government says a visitor - especially at this time. the rose government says a visitor levy i especially at this time. the rose - government says a visitor levy would enable sustainable tourism and bring wales in line with more than a0 other countries —— the welsh government. councils could choose to enforce the tax and use the money for local services but something that in itself could cause problems. it could be one council could charge £5 per night, and another could say, we don't want to charge, we are ok on ourfinances, so we we don't want to charge, we are ok on our finances, so we will charge nothing, so therefore if the council in the south doesn't have to charge but we have got to charge you, automatically it is driving around a petrol station, you are going to go

gallagher is in windsor. less than 2a hours ago, all eyes were on windsor — history was made and witnessed by billions. and today, flowers, tributes, even photos are still being left here, beside the ancient castle walls. we did get on a plane and come over, ijust wanted to be here, i wanted to be near. very sad. yeah, very emotional. i feel like i have lost my grandmother, if i'm allowed to say that. lost for words. the last ten days, it feels like it is someone that is very close to me. yesterday on the news _ we were watching the actual funeral itself, it was pure brilliance, | you know, spielberg couldn't do better than that. but life is slowly getting back

to normal for most of us. across the country, union flags are being raised again, as here in leeds, and the world's media are packing up in windsor. for the royal family, who have been in the global spotlight, they can now grieve privately together. their mourning period continues until next monday, before looking to the future and the reign of king charles iii. he is going to find it very difficult, he needs to be good at delegation, but to replace a lady like that, it is going to be tremendously difficult. we are now learning how many people went to see queen elizabeth lying in state. the government says around 250,000 queued for hours for that moment with their queen. king charles knows how

much his mother was loved, and her legacy here in the uk and around the world. now he begins to build his own. charlotte gallagher reporting. now we can have a look at the weather forecast. most places will be dry and showers in northern england are moving away and we have temperatures round 17—19 by late afternoon. though the evening and overnight a lot of the cloud will break up so we will have some clearer skies and mist and fog patches in the eastern parts of the uk and steal the rain maybe brushing the far north and west of scotland, so turn which is similar to last night, maybe falling away to 8—9 where we have the clearer skies, away to 8—9 where we have the clearerskies, but away to 8—9 where we have the clearer skies, but maybe the prospect of a bit more sunshine to start the day tomorrow, sunshine more widely as the cloud builds up, that will limit the sunshine in the

afternoon, we still have the chance of some rain towards the north west of some rain towards the north west of scotland, and otherwise it maybe a dry day. south to south—westerly breezes, picking up a little bit, and that will lift the temperatures, possibly as high as 20 or even 21. hello, this is bbc news. these are

contextual factors. what liz truss is trying to do is to one extent prime members of the public to think, this is notjust a british problem, this is a wider problem. secondly, what we know about liz truss from the leadership contest and more broadly her political life and more broadly her political life and her career as an mp is that she has got quite an aggressive foreign policy stance. she is what we call a foreign policy hawk. actually what she is saying is signalling that she believes in something is worth sacrificing for this strong foreign policy position. what she is saying is that higher energy bills are somewhat outside of her control and outside of the government's control, and also that to an extent this is part of who she is as a politician. whether the british public by that and, as you suggest, it has raised some headlines, is open to question.

the un secretary general has been speaking within the last half an hour. in his opening comments, he has urged this idea of taxes on fossil fuels to fund climate change policies and food price relief. it will be interesting to see how that sits with members of the general assembly who rely on the sale of fossil fuels for their country's primary source of income. this is -recisel primary source of income. this is precisely the _ primary source of income. this is precisely the challenge _ primary source of income. this is precisely the challenge of - primary source of income. this is precisely the challenge of the - primary source of income. this isj precisely the challenge of the un general assembly more broadly, you're speaking to a lot of different stakeholders here, you're speaking to countries who, as you suggest, rely on fossil fuels and rely on these kinds of exports for their primary means of gdp. then you are speaking to countries who have put climate change issues at the top of their agendas, so it is a really tight, really hard tightrope you have got to walk when you speak to

the un as a diplomat and as a diplomatic mission. but what we are seeing is increasingly country moving towards this idea of really addressing the climate crisis. for some people, not quite as quickly as they would like, such that these awkward conversations will continue to happen and actually increase in the coming years, i suspect. find the coming years, i suspect. and liven the coming years, i suspect. and given one — the coming years, i suspect. and given one of _ the coming years, i suspect. and given one of the _ the coming years, i suspect. and given one of the most difficult issues at the moment globally that issues at the moment globally that is affecting people right around the world is the russian invasion of ukraine, what part does russia play in this gathering, if any? do we know? , , . , in this gathering, if any? do we know? , , ., , ., , in this gathering, if any? do we know? ,, ., , ., , ., know? russia is not entirely out in the cold in — know? russia is not entirely out in the cold in this, _ know? russia is not entirely out in the cold in this, but _ know? russia is not entirely out in the cold in this, but they - know? russia is not entirely out in the cold in this, but they are - the cold in this, but they are certainly... they have fewer friends among gatherings like this than, if you will, the glitzy pro ukraine block, if we are talking about it in

terms of this particular conflict. actually what russia seeks to do is slightly more aggressive manoeuvres. rather than speaking at these kind of events, like as they have suggested shutting off certain gas pipelines, which will have the effect of exacerbating energy crises across europe. so we would not expect to hear very much from russia in terms of this specific event and the un general assembly. the main mood music coming out of the assembly will be quite hard line, quite hard line pro ukraine, if you well. this is also because the kinds of people that will be speaking at it and the kinds of people we will hear from, it and the kinds of people we will hearfrom, that it and the kinds of people we will hear from, that is where there are real areas of agreement are. you have liz truss, very pro ukraine, continuing like borisjohnson in that regard, and it is where she has lots of agreement with, for example, joe biden in the us. we lots of agreement with, for example, joe biden in the us.—

joe biden in the us. we will obviously — joe biden in the us. we will obviously hear _ joe biden in the us. we will obviously hear the - joe biden in the us. we will obviously hear the big - joe biden in the us. we will obviously hear the big set i joe biden in the us. we will. obviously hear the big set piece speeches, those organised big sessions in the hall, and the things where the spotlight is very much on them, but how much is that where the real difference is made compared with the conversations one to the sidelines, you know, out of the glare of the cameras at the spotlight? how much of that oil is the wheel of diplomacy? it is recisel the wheel of diplomacy? it is precisely that _ the wheel of diplomacy? ht 3 precisely that balance, really. what we see is the big set piece speeches where actually it is quite hard to note exactly, not necessarily what people are saying, but where the real diplomacy is happening because people speak very carefully in these big set piece speeches, or more often than not speak very carefully in these big set piece speeches. actually where the real action happens is behind the scenes, where we do not see it. quite often in politics, a lot happens behind the scenes, a lot happens in the silence

where we do not actually know the real conversations that are happening, but we can kind of glean what the kinds of conversations that are occurring. so, liz truss this morning get ahead of the fact that there is not probably going to be a trading deal with the us in a medium or long term, frankly, suggest that thatis or long term, frankly, suggest that that is not going to be on the table, that is not a conversation that will be on the table. perhaps something about the northern ireland protocol much more likely. more often than not when we are looking at the big political set piece events, or indeed looking at things that happen in parliament, if we want to think about this domestically, we should often think that this is 50%, really, of what is happening. a lot happens behind—the—scenes. it is a little bit like a duck, you see a duck looking very serene going across a body of water, but those legs are really kicking away where we cannot see it. that is what politics is, just on a very grand scale. doctor sam parra _ just on a very grand scale. doctor sam parra met _ just on a very grand scale. doctor sam parra met is _ just on a very grand scale. doctor sam parra met is the _ just on a very grand scale. doctor sam parra met is the first - just on a very grand scale. doctor sam parra met is the first time i just on a very grand scale. doctor. sam parra met is the first time i've heard anyone like on a un general

assembly to a duck, thank you very much. thank you for your analysis and your take much. thank you for your analysis and yourtake on much. thank you for your analysis and your take on that. dr sam power from the university of sussex. let's turn to the war in ukraine now — and the luhansk region, which is mostly occupied by russian forces, is to hold a referendum onjoining russia. the kremlin has signalled that it would back the change, arguing that it would make it easier to protect any breakaway territories. you may recall how a similar vote was held in crimea after russia invaded it in 201a. the international community does not recognise crimea as a russian republic. this map shows luhansk, and also donetsk, areas to the east of ukraine, with the pink colouring showing where russian forces are in control. they make up the donbas region — and it now seems several areas under russian occupation may be holding referendums onjoining russia in the coming days. meanwhile, ukrainian forces appear to be continuing to re—take territory in the east of the country.

these pictures were filmed in bilohorivka, a town previously held by russian forces in the luhansk region. 0ur kyiv correspondent hugo bachega has the latest. the timing of this announcement is interesting because this is happening as the ukrainians go ahead with this counteroffensive. so, yesterday, the ukrainian side, they managed to reclaim a village in the luhansk region in the east of the country. this is significant, this is a small village, but if confirmed it means that the ukrainians are now back in luhansk. this is a region that the russians back injuly said they had managed to establish their full control. so it looks like the ukrainians are going ahead and now they have reclaimed a village in luhansk. so that was yesterday, the announcement that was made by the local government. today we are seeing now this announcement by the local authorities that they are going to be holding this referendum

from the 23rd of this month, a referendum to decide whether or not the region will be annexed into russia. now, the context is that we are hearing now from some senior russian officials saying that it is important for this region to be annexed from the russian perspective because this is going to give moscow the ability to go ahead and defend militarily these places and these regions. so that is what we are hearing from moscow, that is what we are hearing from the local officials, russian appointed officials in luhansk. obviously this is something that the ukrainians have dismissed. we are hearing from a top ukrainian official reacting to this news, saying that this is blackmail. and we also heard from one senior adviser to president zelensky, again dismissing this,

saying that this is russia's reaction to the defeat on the battlefield. let's talk to 0leksiy melnyk, a kyiv—based security analyst, co—director of foreign relations and international security programmes at razumkov centre. it is good to have you with us. in terms of the retaking of this village, is it more about the strategic importance for the symbolic importance? this particular villaue has symbolic importance? this particular village has some _ symbolic importance? this particular village has some i _ symbolic importance? this particular village has some i would _ symbolic importance? this particular village has some i would say - village has some i would say tactical or operational importance because, if ukrainians proceed with the same speed of advance, they will be able to catch some other bigger towns and cities. but the most important is politically that ukrainians are already retaking this

newly occupied territories of luhansk. and basically, i mean, the decision to conduct a referendum, or evenif decision to conduct a referendum, or even if duma takes the rest to accept this new entity into the russian federation, does not change anything on the ground. ukrainians will not pay any attention to this possible decisions. find will not pay any attention to this possible decisions.— will not pay any attention to this possible decisions. and turning to the luhansk _ possible decisions. and turning to the luhansk region, _ possible decisions. and turning to the luhansk region, there - possible decisions. and turning to the luhansk region, there is - possible decisions. and turning to the luhansk region, there is talk. possible decisions. and turning to l the luhansk region, there is talk of a referendum, we saw this with crimea, didn't we? the international community refused to recognise crimea as being part of russia. presumably the same would happen if there was a referendum in luhansk on in the donbas, the outcome was to become part of russia, the international community would reject that, wouldn't they? yes. that, wouldn't they? yes, definitely. _ that, wouldn't they? yes, definitely. nobody - that, wouldn't they? yes, definitely. nobody except j that, wouldn't they? 1a: definitely. nobody except probably if you countries will accept this

referendum. there are a lot of similarities but differences at the same time. back in 201a, ukraine was not able to do any military actions to prevent what happened. but here in this case, i think that this, as i said already, this referendum will not make any difference. but also it is a very risky decision for the kremlin because i can understand the local authorities that this is kind of panic, this is the last resort. they see that russians are not able to protect them militarily now, and they expect if they become part of russia, then russia will find a different approach. but russia does not have power. of course, russia will try to escalate the situation and it may have some effect on an international arena, but some

european leaders will hesitate, but definitely it will not make any strategic difference for the ukrainians. i strategic difference for the ukrainians.— strategic difference for the ukrainians. , ., ., , ukrainians. i 'ust want to bring you a line that ukrainians. i just want to bring you a line that the _ ukrainians. i just want to bring you a line that the afp _ ukrainians. i just want to bring you a line that the afp news _ ukrainians. i just want to bring you a line that the afp news agency i ukrainians. i just want to bring you a line that the afp news agency is| a line that the afp news agency is reporting. a pro—moscow official is now saying that ukraine's zaporizhzhia region will also hold a vote, a referendum on whether it wants to become annexed to russia and become part of russia. that region, of course, had a lot of focus because of the nuclear power plant there. how strategically important would that be if there were a referendum held there and the outcome were to join russia? it is outcome were to 'oin russia? it is 'ust outcome were to 'oin russia? it is just ridiculous. _ outcome were tojoin russia? ht 3 just ridiculous. the luhansk region, it is definitely almost the whole region occupied by the russians, but if we look at zaporizhzhia or cash

on the neighbouring southern region of ukraine, there are small parts of this, a big part of the czech one region, and a small part of the zaporizhzhia region, and there are even some statements at kharkiv, very few villages still occupied by the russians, they pretend that some local communities can initiate a referendum for the whole region. in the same way, they can claim that they will conduct ukrainian referendum, so it soundsjust ridiculous. referendum, so it sounds 'ust ridiculouafi referendum, so it sounds 'ust ridiculous. ~ ., ., ., ., ridiculous. what do we read into this announcement _ ridiculous. what do we read into this announcement of— ridiculous. what do we read into this announcement of these - this announcement of these referendums? is it that ukraine is perhaps gaining an upper hand, dare we say it, militarily, and so russia is encouraging these referendums to try to almost use a political bit of leverage to retake the initiative?

actually, i think this is a sign of panic, notjust on a local level but also in moscow. in this way, they will pretend that from that moment, if the state duma approves these referendums, from that moment moscow will consider these regions as part of the russian federation, and any attack from ukraine will be used as attack from ukraine will be used as a condition for declaring a state of war on ukraine. against ukraine. but, again, it will not change the situation because russia, the russian military is already exhausted, there are many signs that they have a problem of manpower, a problem with weapons. there is of course a big concern about what kind of escalation russia can create,

either using nuclear weapons, creating a nuclear incident in the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, but this is not going to make russia stronger in the sense of defending their territories.— their territories. oleksiy melnyk, security analyst _ their territories. oleksiy melnyk, security analyst speaking - their territories. oleksiy melnyk, security analyst speaking to - their territories. oleksiy melnyk, security analyst speaking to a - their territories. oleksiy melnyk, | security analyst speaking to a live from kyiv, thank you very much for your time. from kyiv, thank you very much for your time-— from kyiv, thank you very much for our time. ., ,, i. ., ., your time. thank you for having me. the 'udue your time. thank you for having me. the judge in — your time. thank you for having me. the judge in the _ your time. thank you for having me. the judge in the us _ your time. thank you for having me. the judge in the us has _ your time. thank you for having me. the judge in the us has quashed - your time. thank you for having me. the judge in the us has quashed a i thejudge in the us has quashed a this man was jailed for life for killing his ex—girlfriend who was found dead in the woods in 1989. david willis reports. he allowed himself just he allowed himselfjust the he allowed himself just the faintest of smiles as he left court after 23 years injail. his supporters have long maintained his innocence, yet

of england, but we still have the thicker clout in the north and west of scotland may be bringing some rain. but on the whole, dry night, temperatures slipping away to 8—9, similar to last night. this time tomorrow could start with a bit more sunshine. i think we all tend to find a cloud building up and spreading out a bit, limiting the sunshine in the afternoon. a bit of rain across the north—west of scotland, otherwise probably going to be dry. southerly or south—westerly breeze is picking up a notch or two tomorrow. that lifts the temperatures, perhaps making 20-21 in the temperatures, perhaps making 20—21 in the eastern parts of scotland, 21 in the south—east of england. reasonably warm for this time of the year. we have got a big change coming in towards the end of the week. this is where we are getting the rain from. this weather front that is moving down from the north—west. that will bring some wetter weather across scotland and northern ireland on wednesday night and during thursday that will push its way down over the irish sea into some northern parts of england and into wales. ahead of that, some early sunshine, then the clouds midi out once again like on wednesday.

still quite warm here, temperatures reaching 20—21. as we get some rights much of scotland and northern ireland, things turning a little bit cooler. more of a north—westerly breeze, that will bring in cooler air as we head down towards the end of the week. that cooler weather pushes and behind that weather front, bringing the rain, and head of that southerly breeze will push that away. we will still see this cloud, patchy rain moving down across england and wales, coming to rest probably a east anglia and the south—east. elsewhere, that north—westerly breeze banks cooler air, cleanerair, some sunshine north—westerly breeze banks cooler air, cleaner air, some sunshine and may be a scattering of servers, mainly for northern and western parts of scotland and northern ireland, temperatures slowly ebbing away by the end of the week.

this is bbc news. the headlines: liz truss is in new york on her first trip abroad as prime minister. she says higher energy bills "are a price worth paying" for the uk's long—term security. the two week inquest into the death of 1a year old molly russell has begun. she took her own life after being exposed to harmful material on social media sites. at least 250,000 people are estimated to have queued to see the queen's coffin in london, as the royal family begins another seven days of mourning. a man is jailed for ten months after disorder in leicester between muslim and hindu communities. a welsh government proposal to tax tourists staying overnight in wales is being put

to a public consultation. good afternoon and welcome. 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. 0ur 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 forfamilies has already been promised, and tomorrow we should hear what might be done for businesses too. the 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 energy prices... the energy 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 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 government to rule out looking at asking for a contribution from those excess profits, we think it is just wrong. the death of the queen 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 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. the un is where liz truss 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 for her return from the us. damian grammaticas, bbc news, westminster. earlier i spoke to damian. he told me that business in particular will be looking for help from the government to deal

with the cost of living. a huge source of concern and already many businesses really struggling and receiving those bills and notifications of exactly how high this is going to go. and many wondering what they will be able to do. tomorrow we should get some details of that announced from the government, but as you say, for some companies already it is too late. the government says, what liz truss has said, she is concerned that for some it might be too late but that this will be in place for six months and that will only get companies through the winter and in the meantime the government is going to look at discussing with businesses and the treasury what can happen after that. they are talking about targeted support after the winter and after six months, but that is still quite a lot of uncertainty for businesses where households and families and individuals have been told that their price cap is going to be in place for this winter and through the next winter as well, so longer term certainty for that side.

all of that comes at huge cost when you add it together, so how does the government proposed to pay for it? will we learn that on friday? this is one area as you heard in the report where there is a considerable argument about this, because the cost is going to be huge and open—ended because what the government has said for individuals and families is that there will be a cap on the unit price of energy, every unit of energy used will be capped but what they don't know is what the wholesale price, the price on the market, that companies have got to buy at, how much higher that will be and how long that is going to stay at those levels, so what the difference is the government is going to be making up, effectively. the projection is tens of billions over the course of the period that the support will be offered, and what the government has been indicating is that they believe

the way to fund this is through economic growth, liz truss says through growing the size of the pie and therefore having a bigger economy and more government income and being able to pay this off but essentially this will be paid off by borrowing and the opposition say, "shouldn't the energy companies who are making billions in unexpected windfall profits be taxed at a higher rate?" those enormously high energy prices mean that some who are producing energy are making enormously high profits, so could that not be taken and fund at least some billions towards the cost of this? the government says it doesn't like the idea of putting those taxes on and it believes it discourages investment and should not happen but that argument will play out in the next few weeks. thanks forjoining us. we can now speak to carl emmerson, the deputy director of the institute for fiscal studies and the editor of the annual green budget produced by ifs.1. what you make of this line that higher energy bills are a price

worth paying for long—term security? it is the case that a large part of the high inflation we are facing is because of russia's invasion of ukraine so it's a consequence of that, and there is less gas available in europe this winter and the market price starts to shoot up on what the government has to decide is to what extent should households and businesses bear the cost of that this coming winter and beyond and to what extent they should step in and provide additional support. iairui’heh what extent they should step in and provide additional support. when we look at the measures _ provide additional support. when we look at the measures the _ provide additional support. when we | look at the measures the government has already announced, there is the £a00 energy bill discount which people will get in instalment in the next months, and there is also the new energy price guarantee that for the next two years households will not face energy bills of more than £2500 on average per year. but even that cap is significantly higher

than the level that households have experienced in the previous winter. almost double, isn't it? absolutely. for every unit _ almost double, isn't it? absolutely. for every unit of _ almost double, isn't it? absolutely. for every unit of energy _ almost double, isn't it? absolutely. for every unit of energy households j for every unit of energy households face will —— household use will be about twice what they used last winter so it will be a difficult winter so it will be a difficult winterfor many winter so it will be a difficult winter for many but prices would have been a lot higher, maybe four times higher, if the government had not stepped in, so for every pound a household uses to spend on extra energy this winter, the government is going to be throwing in something like 75p without amount depending on exactly what the price of gas is, it so difficult winter for many and energy prices are not higher than they were last winter but energy prices are lower than what they would have been if the government had not stepped in. liz would have been if the government had not stepped in.— had not stepped in. liz truss has also said that _ had not stepped in. liz truss has also said that not _ had not stepped in. liz truss has also said that not every - had not stepped in. liz truss has also said that not every policy i also said that not every policy decision and move she makes will be a popular one and we have already had a hint of that with her government talking about lifting the cap on bankers bonuses to try and

make london more attractive as a place to do business. does the economic argument in your view stack up economic argument in your view stack up that lift the cap on bonuses and you bring in more investment and greater spending in the economy? there is a case for the government focusing on growth and trying to think about what policies will and therefore for everyone going and for everyone going and what everyone going and what is tryone going �* the measures so will that next many of the prime minister measures the prime minister is committed to like reversing the recent rise in national insurance contributions are not going ahead with the big tax contributions are not going ahead with the bi while tax contributions are not going ahead with the bi while there tax contributions are not going ahead with the bi to tile there tax contributions are not going ahead with the bi to those are tax contributions are not going ahead with the bi to those policies, tax mean tax will be will mean tax revenues will be lower means is set to run which means borrowing is set to run much, much higher. for

gridlocked in colossal global dysfunction. i'm nowjoined byjulian borja from the guardian newspaper. that must set the alarm bells ringing?- set the alarm bells ringing? that's the strongest _ set the alarm bells ringing? that's the strongest speech _ set the alarm bells ringing? that's the strongest speech we _ set the alarm bells ringing? that's the strongest speech we have - set the alarm bells ringing? trust�*s the strongest speech we have heard from antonio guterres and he has been sounding these warnings now over several years in his time in office but from his perspective the dysfunction in the un isjust getting greater with the russian invasion and the fact that the permanent five members really can't do any work together because of the shadow of the russian invasion. so that has made the security council much less effective. so really he comes across as the secretary—general who feels he has got less and less to lose by calling out the members of the security

council and pointing the finger at them. ~ ., ., ~ ., ,, them. when we look at liz truss, this is her — them. when we look at liz truss, this is her first _ them. when we look at liz truss, this is her first outing _ them. when we look at liz truss, this is her first outing on - them. when we look at liz truss, this is her first outing on the - this is herfirst outing on the global stage, and as foreign secretary she will be no stranger to these events from when she was in that post, but what will you be looking for in terms of who she speaks to and what conversations she has? ., , , ., ., ., has? the most important thing for liz truss has? the most important thing for liz truss is — has? the most important thing for liz truss is the _ has? the most important thing for liz truss is the relationship - has? the most important thing for liz truss is the relationship with i liz truss is the relationship with joe biden. they cancelled the meeting that was going to happen in downing street and at the time us and british officials said there was nothing to be worried about and that the meeting in the un will be longer and fuller, and that does seem to be the case in that so far it is the only bilateral meeting thatjoe biden has booked already for

wednesday, for tomorrow. so she will get face time with biden, this early meeting in her premiership, to establish the most important foreign relationship that she will have. it is extremely important, especially because biden administration fairly sceptical about her when it comes to northern ireland. and so there are issues that they have to sort out between them for that relationship to be maintained.— between them for that relationship to be maintained. maybe i'm getting into pedantry — to be maintained. maybe i'm getting into pedantry and — to be maintained. maybe i'm getting into pedantry and semantics, - to be maintained. maybe i'm getting into pedantry and semantics, but. to be maintained. maybe i'm getting into pedantry and semantics, but it i into pedantry and semantics, but it struck me that speech from antonio guterres, if politically the world is seen as so focused on the global north, to talk of a winter of discontent when the other half of the world is going into summer may

seem like it is, not disregarding, but that actually this isn't an all encompassing global gathering and it is being driven by the countries in the global north? that is being driven by the countries in the global north?— the global north? that is very tellin: the global north? that is very telling and — the global north? that is very telling and it _ the global north? that is very telling and it is _ the global north? that is very telling and it is one _ the global north? that is very telling and it is one of - the global north? that is very telling and it is one of the - telling and it is one of the complaints that are so much of the un has been stymied by the war in ukraine. they see this as a european war that has crowded out concerns they have, existential concerns, about famine and the emergence of the climate emergency, and this has been a complaint over the last few months, that the west has been coming to global south countries, insisting they speak out about russia and they are beginning to signal they have had enough and they want more focus on the issues of

food security and famine, disease, climate change, and to a large extent that is what they are going to get this week. the us has heard them and realise they can'tjust keep on taking the global south for granted when they are trying to line up granted when they are trying to line up coalitions on their policies, so there will be a focus this week on food security. there will be a meeting on the global fund to combat tuberculosis and malaria, for example, so a lot of the work behind the scenes this week in the general assembly will try to address those concerns, that it is becoming too much dominated by the global north in its focus and its preoccupations. julian, thanks forjoining us. that is the world affairs editor at the

guardian newspaper. 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. 1a 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. a family wanting answers — why did molly die, and what part did social media play? ahead of them, two weeks in court, hundreds of pages of evidence, containing many thousands of images, some too distressing to broadcast. a bright, apparently happy teenager, molly was just 1a when she took her own life. going through her social—media accounts, her father ian discovered she was being bombarded with content about suicide, depression and self—harm — on instagram, pinterest and other apps. the corporate culture at these platforms needs to change... since then, he's become a high—profile campaigner for internet safety, and for many has made a huge impact on the debate.

i remember my disbelief when i saw my lifeless youngest daughter. that moment, my old life stopped. ian has been absolutely magnificent, because, you know, from the very beginning, he's actually sort of put his loss, his pain and his agony into trying to make sure that this doesn't happen to other families. and 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. 0ur correspondent ellie price has been at the coroner's court in north london today there has been legal argument this morning about those files and files of evidence that angus was talking about in that report, the reams of social media posts that molly had been looking at in the six months before she died. quite shocking numbers here, she had looked at instagram 120 times per day and had liked more than 11,000 posts on instagram and 15,000 pages on pinterest in the same period. those were the legal arguments we were looking at, as to whether the media can report any of those pages that she had been looking at.

at the heart of the inquest is two fold, the inquest into the death of a 1a—year—old girl and the circumstances around which she died after she took her own life. people also say it is significant because this is the first time these tech companies will be held to account, how and if they are protecting younger users and representatives from the tech companies will be called to the inquest in person during the process and questioned by the coroner about the processes they use to protect younger users. it is the first time anyone from these companies will be questioned under oath in a uk court so campaigners think this is an incredibly significant moment, especially because there is legislation going through parliament at westminster at the same time looking at online safety. worth mentioning that the coroner also indicated he will look at algorithms and that is the way in which our social media use is fired at us, similar pages to the ones you are looking at are sent to you in a way to get

you hooked on a certain subject. the coroner will be looking at that to see if some of those dreadful images and those dreadful subjects on depression and self—harm and suicide and whether any of that played a part in molly's death. to be clear, this is not a process originating blame or anything like this, it is about establishing the fact and what led to her death? that is right. no one is on trial. the process of an inquest is to find out who, what, where and when, but it is significant that a coroner does have powers at the end of the process, if he sees fit, that he can write to a company or a government department to find a way and to see what action they can take to prevent further deaths, so there is significance at the end of the process. molly's parents are in court today, and it is expected that janet

will be talking about the moment she found the body of her lifeless daughter, and we are likely to hear from the police, as well, and we will hear more of that evidence, those social media posts that molly had been looking at and then of course we will hear from those representatives of instagram and pinterest and the process is likely to take two weeks. let's speak now to andy burrows, head of child safety 0nline policy at the nspcc. we had some shocking statistics aboutjust how much molly was using and interacting with social media. 0n the face of it she was happy and well adjusted but what are the warning signs that parents might look out for and pick up on to avoid their child being in a similar situation?— situation? molly's story is relatable _ situation? molly's story is relatable to _ situation? molly's story is relatable to so _ situation? molly's story is relatable to so many - situation? molly's story is i relatable to so many parents situation? molly's story is - relatable to so many parents across the country for precisely this reason. it is a tragedy that has affected the russell family that could strike any family across the country. every child is different so there is no obvious and tell—tale

list of things to look out for but our advice is to have regular conversations with your child about what they are doing online and that way they know they can come to you if something bad is happening and if you notice a difference in your child, have that conversation and ask if they are ok and take an interest in their online lives. when arents interest in their online lives. when parents want _ interest in their online lives. when parents want to _ interest in their online lives. when parents want to protect _ interest in their online lives. when parents want to protect their - parents want to protect their children from being exposed to the kinds of material that molly was exposed to, what is the way to go about doing that? you can't stop children using social media apps. they will be cut out socially and they may feel frustrated but equally, it would leave them to have free reign and the problem could be very apparent. it is free reign and the problem could be very apparent-— very apparent. it is a difficult balancing _ very apparent. it is a difficult balancing act _ very apparent. it is a difficult balancing act that _ very apparent. it is a difficult balancing act that parents i very apparent. it is a difficult. balancing act that parents have, very apparent. it is a difficult - balancing act that parents have, and the problem is the design of these platforms so very often what we see at the nspcc is children and young

people who have felt vulnerable and they have access to this type of material that glorifies suicide and self—harm may be a couple of times but that is when the algorithm kicks in and that can very quickly take a child into a rabbit warren where every time they open up their feed on their timeline they see more and more of this disturbing content. it is very hard to say, don't go on social media, and of course social media can have positives, so you have got to work with your child and negotiate what the boundaries look like and have those conversations so if something goes wrong and if a child is becoming upset and uncomfortable about their online experience, they can come to you. what i don't understand, it feels like the technology is already there and during the pandemic in the far distance of a photograph i saw a post of the word vaccination on it and automatically the link to guidance and scientific advice about

vaccination was automatically added to the post and if they can do that for vaccinations, why can't they pick up on trigger words that could be warning signs and direct children and young people to resources to counter that negative influence quite what you have hit the nail on the head. , . ., ., , ., the head. there is the technology to do this but there _ the head. there is the technology to do this but there simply _ the head. there is the technology to do this but there simply isn't - the head. there is the technology to do this but there simply isn't the - do this but there simply isn't the will. what we have seen in the last decade is a business decision from these companies do not invest in an —— and deal with child safety, so we have got these disturbing things regarding suicide that molly was looking for and they are prohibited by the terms and conditions but the technology has not been able to be put in place to deal with that content. ~ . , put in place to deal with that content. ~ ., , ., , content. what is the answer? legislation- _ content. what is the answer? legislation. the _ content. what is the answer? legislation. the online - content. what is the answer? | legislation. the online safety content. what is the answer? - legislation. the online safety bill was put on hold while we saw the leadership election take place and

now that we have got a new prime minister and the culture secretary, it is clear that is the only way to stop this cycle of preventable harm that will otherwise go on and effect to many more children and to many more families across the country. andy burrows, from the nspcc, thanks forjoining us. the royal family is 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 a quarter of a million people saw the queen lying in state at westminster hall. 0ur correspondent charlotte gallagher is in windsor. less than 2a hours ago, all eyes were on windsor — history was made and witnessed by billions. and today, flowers, tributes, even photos are still being left here, beside the ancient castle walls. we did get on a plane and come over,

ijust wanted to be here, i wanted to be near. very sad. yeah, very emotional. i feel like i have lost my grandmother, if i'm allowed to say that. lost for words. the last ten days, it feels like it is someone that is very close to me. yesterday on the news _ we were watching the actual funeral itself, it was pure brilliance, | you know, spielberg couldn't do better than that. but life is slowly getting back to normal for most of us. across the country, union flags are being raised again, as here in leeds, and the world's media are packing up in windsor. for the royal family, who have been in the global spotlight, they can now grieve privately together.

their mourning period continues until next monday, before looking to the future and the reign of king charles iii. he is going to find it very difficult, he needs to be good at delegation, but to replace a lady like that, it is going to be tremendously difficult. we are now learning how many people went to see queen elizabeth lying in state. the government says around 250,000 queued for hours for that moment with their queen. king charles knows how much his mother was loved, and her legacy here in the uk and around the world. now he begins to build his own.

plans to ban single—use carrier bags and plastic drinking straws in wales will be discussed in the senedd today. plastic plates, cutlery, stirrers and cotton buds would also be banned under the proposed new law. the rest of the united kingdom already bans plastic straws, cotton buds and stirrers — though nowhere in the uk has stopped the sale of single—use carrier bags. members of the rmt and aslef unions will walk out on the 1st of october. aslef members will also strike on the 5th of october. action was planned for last thursday but was postponed following the death of queen elizabeth. now it's time for a look at the weather with darren bett. the weather is looking a bit warmer over the next few days and we still have a bit of cloud around today with sunshine at a premium. most places will be dry and the showers are moving away and we have temperatures around 17—19 by late afternoon. through the evening and overnight, a lot of cloud will break

up, so we have some clearer skies, and mist and fog patches towards south—eastern parts of the uk and the rain still maybe brushing the fast that it may grow far north and west of scotland but temperatures will be similar to last night. maybe the prospect of a bit more sunshine to start the day tomorrow, sunshine more widely, and it will spread out as the cloud builds up, limiting the sunshine in the afternoon and still the chance of some rain towards the north west of scotland, otherwise it maybe a dry day. south to south—westerly breezes, tending to pick up, and that will lift the term which is possibly as high as 20 or even 21. —— that will lift the temperatures. hello, this is bbc news. i'm ben boulos. the headlines: liz truss is in new york on her first trip abroad as prime minister. she says she is prepared to take difficult decisions, such as bankers getting bigger bonuses, in order to

also protecting our economic security. we are making sure we back the ukrainians, and i am determined to make sure we back them for the long haul, because we cannot see russia succeed. we also need to make sure we are more energy independent and at less dependent on those authoritarian regimes. it is about economic growth, but it is also about economic security. what i'm going to be doing over the coming daysis going to be doing over the coming days is talking to our allies about how we can deepen those ties with each other so we can work together to make sure we have that security. last question, in what way will you be different from borisjohnson? i will be my own prime minister. i would not compare myself to any predecessors. the times we are different from the times predecessors have been in. we are entering a new era, it is a more insecure era, we face an increasingly aggressive russia, and

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, i muslims have got mosques. you know, everybody, i 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. navteonhal, bbc news, leicester. there have been further protests in iran over the death on friday of mahsa amini, a woman who'd been detained by the morality police for allegedly violating the islamic republic's official dress code. i'm joined by my colleague rana rahimpour of bbc persian. just explain what led to these protests and why she was detained by the amorality police. she protests and why she was detained by the amorality police.— the amorality police. she was arrested because, _ the amorality police. she was arrested because, according. the amorality police. she was. arrested because, according to the amorality police. she was i arrested because, according to the authorities, her headscarf was not tight enough. it was not strict

he was shot. he was in the passenger seat of an audi aa which was on the m 62 in west yorkshire, along with a second car, they were travelling in convoy. what they did not know was they were being followed by four undercover police cars, in each car there were armed police officers. the coroner told the jury they were not there accidentally. he later told the jury that there was evidence the police had been investigating him for around two months before he was killed in what they called operation phil view. he told the jury that one of the police cars overtook the audi on the motorway junction when the cars overtook the audi on the motorwayjunction when the cars were coming off and forced the vehicle to stop. a police officer then wound down his window and shot through the open passenger window of the car, into the windscreen of the audi, hitting him twice in the chest from a distance of one and a half metres. he suffered immediate and catastrophic bleeding and died at the scene. the coroner said the jury

will hear a loaded pistol and operational order capable of firing bullets was in the passenger foot well of the audi, along with ammunition and a silencer that were found in the glove tree. this afternoon, in front of the jury, zoe summers, his partnerand afternoon, in front of the jury, zoe summers, his partner and mother to his two children, gave a statement to the jury. his two children, gave a statement to thejury. in it his two children, gave a statement to the jury. in it she described his two children, gave a statement to thejury. in it she described him as fun, cheeky and outgoing. he always put a smile on your face, she said. i cannot explain the pain i live with, should not have to bring up live with, should not have to bring up two children on my own. it is like a horrible nightmare. he may be gone but he is loved and missed very much. tomorrow the inquest will begin to start hearing evidence from one of the police officers who was at the scene at the time of the shooting. at the scene at the time of the shootinu. . ~ at the scene at the time of the shootinu. w ., ~ at the scene at the time of the shootinu. v ., ,, i. at the scene at the time of the shooting-— at the scene at the time of the shootinu. v ., ,, i. , . it's exactly 25 years since robbie williams released his debut solo album — and to mark that, he's recorded new versions of his best—known songs with an orchestra. the album, 25, has gone straight to the top of the charts.

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 fragile i am as a human being and,

you know, to be a has been already 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. i'd like to do that. 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 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, as if you needed me to tell you. now it's time for a look at the weather with darren bett. hello there. this weekend things will start to turn a little bit colder again, but for a while over the next few days things are looking a bit warmer, mainly because there will be more of a southerly breeze developing. later in the week, though, we are going to find some rain coming in from the atlantic. at the moment, that is a long way off, sitting further away. and most of any rain at the moment is really affecting the far north—west of scotland. any showers in northern england are moving away. and these are the temperatures by the end of the afternoon, so 17—19. this evening and overnight, the cloud that we have, and there is a lot of cloud at the moment, will largely tend to break up. that could lead to some patches of fog and mist across south—eastern parts of england, but we still have that thicker cloud in the north and west of scotland, may be bringing some rain,

but on the whole a dry night, temperatures slipping away to around 8—9, similar to what we had last night. but this time tomorrow could start with a bit more sunshine around more widely. i think we will tend to find the cloud building up, spreading out a bit, limiting the sunshine in the afternoon. again, a bit of rain across the north—west of scotland, otherwise probably going to be dry. southerly or south—westerly breeze is picking up a notch or two tomorrow, and that lifts the temperatures, perhaps making 20 or 21 in eastern parts of scotland, 21 in the south—east of england, as well. so reasonably warm for this time of the year. we have got a big change, though, coming in towards the end of the week. this is where we are getting the rain from, this other weather front that is moving down from the north—west. that will bring some wetter weather across scotland and northern ireland on wednesday night and during thursday. that will push its way down over the irish sea into some northern parts of england and wales. ahead of that, some early sunshine, then we will see the cloud spreading out once again, like on wednesday, but still quite warm air here, so temperatures will reach 20—21. whilst we get some late sunshine across much of scotland and northern ireland, things are turning a little bit cooler here. we have got more of a north—westerly breeze, that is

going to be bringing in cooler air as we head down towards the end of the week. that cooler weather pushes in behind that weather front bringing the rain, and ahead of it that and ahead of it that southerly breeze will push that away. we will still see this cloud with patchy rain moving down across england and wales, coming to rest probably across east anglia and the south—east. elsewhere, that north—westerly breeze brings cooler air, it will bring cleaner air, some sunshine, and may be a scattering of showers, mainly for northern and western parts of scotland and northern ireland, but temperatures slowly ebbing away by the end of the week.

this is bbc news. the headlines: liz truss is in new york on her first trip abroad as prime minister. she says she is prepared to take difficult decisions, such as bankers getting bigger bonuses, to get the economy growing. yes, we do have to take difficult decisions to get the economy growing, we have to look at the tax rates so corporation tax needs to be competitive with other countries. railway workers will start strikes again in long—running disputes over jobs, pay and conditions and the walk—out will take effect from early october and could affect the london

marathon. the two week inquest into the death of 1a year old molly russell has begun. she took her own life after being exposed to harmful material on social media sites. a man is jailed for ten months after disorder in leicester between muslim and hindu communities. at least 250,000 people are estimated to have queued to see the queen's coffin in london, as the royal family begins another seven days of mourning. a welsh government proposal to tax tourists staying overnight in wales is being put to a public consultation. 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.

she has also said she is prepared to lift the cap on bankers bonuses to get growth moving. her government is considering removing the cap on bankers bonuses as part of a post—brexit shake—up of rules in the city of london. 0n post—brexit shake—up of rules in the city of london. on friday the chancellor is due to unveil the government's economic plans in a mini budget. let's talk to ben wright. what about the comments about bankers bonuses? these confirm reports from last week thatis these confirm reports from last week that is part of the new chancellor's fiscal statement which will happen on friday, he is expected to announce that he will lift the cap on bankers bonuses that has been in place since 201a. the uk was subject to these rules when it was part of

the eu and it is being reported that in an effort to deregulate the economy in the early weeks of being chance that he would like to lift a limit on bonuses which currently means a banker can't have more than twice their salary paid in bonuses. that is one of the things my colleague chris mason asked liz truss about in new york a short time ago. truss about in new york a short time auo. ~ . truss about in new york a short time ato, . ., ., truss about in new york a short time auo. ~ ., ., ., , , truss about in new york a short time auo.~ ., ., .,, ,., truss about in new york a short time ago. what i want to see is a growing economy so — ago. what i want to see is a growing economy so everybody _ ago. what i want to see is a growing economy so everybody in _ ago. what i want to see is a growing economy so everybody in our- ago. what i want to see is a growing| economy so everybody in our country has the _ economy so everybody in our country has the high — economy so everybody in our country has the highjobs economy so everybody in our country has the high jobs that they deserve, the investment into their town and city and _ the investment into their town and city and area, the new businesses being _ city and area, the new businesses being set— city and area, the new businesses being set up, that is the kind of country— being set up, that is the kind of country that i want to see. if that means the _ country that i want to see. if that means the rich _ country that i want to see. if that means the rich get _ country that i want to see. if that means the rich get richer, - country that i want to see. if that means the rich get richer, that i country that i want to see. if that means the rich get richer, that is| means the rich get richer, that is fine? ii means the rich get richer, that is fine? ., ., , ., ~ means the rich get richer, that is fine? ., ., , ., ,, , . fine? if that means taking difficult decisions which _ fine? if that means taking difficult decisions which will _ fine? if that means taking difficult decisions which will help - fine? if that means taking difficult decisions which will help the i fine? if that means taking difficult decisions which will help the uk i decisions which will help the uk become — decisions which will help the uk become more competitive and help the uk become _ become more competitive and help the uk become more attractive and help what investment flow into the

growth rate up to 2.5% quickly and they think this sort of economic recipe is the way to do it. labour and other opposition parties profoundly disagree. that and other opposition parties profoundly disagree.- and other opposition parties profoundly disagree. that is one of the big announcements _ profoundly disagree. that is one of the big announcements but - profoundly disagree. that is one of the big announcements but what i profoundly disagree. that is one of. the big announcements but what else has the prime minister said? she re eated has the prime minister said? she repeated the _ has the prime minister said? sue repeated the statements has the prime minister said? 5“i;e repeated the statements she made on the plane over that she would like to see a tough and united response continue in terms of ukraine and she thinks clearly we are at a critical juncture with ukrainian forces pushing back against russia and energy prices being felt tightly and painfully across europe. she thinks it would be a colossal mistake to loosen and lift the pressure on russia at this moment. what that translates to in terms of armaments and policy towards the conflict is yet to be seen but we are about to see three intensive days of diplomacy at the un, so we may see a shift in the community's response to what is happening as a result of the conversations in ukraine. we have

also learned since distrust of the country that the uk government has given up on the idea of a trade deal with the us —— since liz truss left the country for top this was trumpeted as one of the biggest victories in terms of leaving the eu, but negotiations with the biden administration have proven to complex and politically unpalatable in the uk so that, for now, is an aspiration that has been shelved. ben wright, thanks forjoining us. i'm joined by adam scorer, chief executive of the fuel poverty charity, national energy action. thanks forjoining us. the prime minister says high energy bills are a price worth paying for our country's security. your reaction? the thing we would like to hear from the government is a recognition that the government is a recognition that the price of high energy is a price that lots of households simply can't afford, it is not a price they can

pay, so it would be good to see some nuance in their response to recognising that this is not a burden that is shouldered equally and it isn't a burden that is shouldered manageably by means of households. we remember that debt charities say that 50% of their clients are in negative budgets and theyjust clients are in negative budgets and they just don't clients are in negative budgets and theyjust don't have the income to be able to afford the essentials, so it is a sound bite and i get the sentiment, of solidarity and support for the struggle in ukraine, but to apply that to the cost of energy and the struggling households and the inevitability of millions of unheated homes and millions of households in real problem debt, we could do with a bit more appreciation and awareness of the way in which the price of energy is simply unaffordable for millions, notwithstanding the enormous intervention that government has made with the energy price guarantee. i made with the energy price guarantee-— made with the energy price auarantee. ., , ., ., ., guarantee. i was going to refer to that because _ guarantee. i was going to refer to

that because the _ guarantee. i was going to refer to that because the levels _ guarantee. i was going to refer to that because the levels that i guarantee. i was going to refer to that because the levels that we i guarantee. i was going to refer to i that because the levels that we are talking about here, cumulatively add up talking about here, cumulatively add up to a huge amount of government support, and they bring the energy, the maximum that the average household will pay for gas and electricity to £2500 per year for the next two years when it would otherwise have been closer to £a000 according to estimates so that is a big intervention by government on a scale we have not seen before? it’s scale we have not seen before? it's a scale we have not seen before? it�*s a staggering intervention across the economy, the scale no one would have thought would be needed and no one would have thought would be needed to be paid but let's look at that. the typical average bill of 2500 is a red herring because we are not all average and some households on low incomes will be paying much more than that or having to pay much more for an adequate level of heat and power, even with the price guarantee, the cost of energy would have gone up 150% over 12 months, simply impossible for households, so

i'm not decrying the scope of the intervention across the economy, it was a broad universal measure, instead of what is still going to be needed, actually, a deeper and more targeted intervention for households for whom the idea of a 2500 bill is just simply for the birds, nothing they can even think about being able to afford. that is why we need more awareness that this is not a problem shouldered equally and it is one that causes extreme hardship and danger for many households across the uk. 50 danger for many households across the uk. ., ., _, danger for many households across the uk. ., ., ~ ., the uk. so what would you like to hear in the _ the uk. so what would you like to hear in the mini _ the uk. so what would you like to hear in the mini budget _ the uk. so what would you like to hear in the mini budget on - the uk. so what would you like to | hear in the mini budget on friday? what specifically would help those families and those households that are coming to you saying, we have run out of ways to cut our energy use and we have run out of sources of money up what would you like to hear from the government? the price auarantee hear from the government? the price guarantee is — hear from the government? the price guarantee is a — hear from the government? the price guarantee is a godsend, _ hear from the government? the price guarantee is a godsend, a _ hear from the government? the price guarantee is a godsend, a piece i hear from the government? the price guarantee is a godsend, a piece of i guarantee is a godsend, a piece of mind for millions, but for those

millions who have already had their budget to strike it needs to be deep and targeted support for those in the greatestjeopardy —— their budget destroyed. whether that is true welfare benefits or targeted support for people who are already struggling the most, that is an issue for government, but the energy price guarantee is a short—term necessary intervention but it is not enough. it is not enough for the crisis that many people with experience and i want to see that acknowledged and i want to see commitment in the medium term to put in place support that enables everybody with the winter coming fast to be able to afford a decent level of warmth and safety in their homes. it is a public health emergency that we have in millions of homes that will go unheated and

the united nations and the ideals it represents are in jeopardy and we have a duty to act and yet we are gridlocked in colossal global dysfunction. let's speak to our correspondent, laura trevelyan who's in new york. he is trying to sound the alarm bells in a way that we have not really heard him do before? ida. bells in a way that we have not really heard him do before? no, a very blunt — really heard him do before? no, a very blunt speech _ really heard him do before? no, a very blunt speech from _ really heard him do before? no, a very blunt speech from the - really heard him do before? no, a very blunt speech from the un i very blunt speech from the un secretary—general, saying that the world is in peril and that political leaders are paralysed in their response to this peril. whether it is the war in ukraine or climate change or the spiralling cost of living in part driven by the war in ukraine, and that has been echoed by other world leaders. we heard from the president of brazil and the king ofjordan and the president of senegal, calling for a negotiated

peace. 0cean senegal, calling for a negotiated peace. ocean to that war in ukraine because the ripple effects are being felt around the world —— peaceful solution to that war in ukraine for top the president of senegal said his country and african countries in general were so hard—hit by the pandemic and now they have this blow of rising fuel and energy costs, that they are not in a position to be able to deal with it. we are due to hearfrom the president of turkey, president erdogan, and he suggested that president putin was ready to bring an end to the war as soon as possible, and i shouted a question to him as he was walking into the un and he did not reply but all eyes will be on him to see if there is any prospect of a negotiated end to this war in ukraine. ih negotiated end to this war in ukraine. ., , ukraine. in the uk there would be interest to — ukraine. in the uk there would be interest to see _ ukraine. in the uk there would be interest to see how _ ukraine. in the uk there would be interest to see how liz _ ukraine. in the uk there would be interest to see how liz truss i interest to see how liz truss performs at this gathering of world leaders, so herfirst outing of the

world stage since becoming prime minister, so what are you looking out for and what can we expect? it was very interesting that on the plane on the way from london to new york she told reporters that she did not have any expectation there would be a trade deal with the us in the short or medium term and she says there were no negotiations under way with the us and she will meet president biden tomorrow so that is significant because conservative ministers said a centrepiece of brexit would be a trade deal with the us and this would give britain growth and more economic possibilities having left the eu but she ruled that out and one reason behind that is that president biden, a proud irish american president, takes a dim view of the uk's view to renegotiate the northern ireland protocol that governs trading relationships involving northern ireland, so that is one thing off the table, but liz truss is a strong supporter of ukraine and that will go down well when she meets with president biden and world leaders

will be watching to see how she describes the british position on the world stage. when she was running fully that she talked about britain of being independent and a globalforce —— running for leader. so the way that she flashes that i would be interesting and she is also meeting president macron after she refused to say when he was a friend orfoe, so refused to say when he was a friend or foe, so i'm refused to say when he was a friend orfoe, so i'm sure that refused to say when he was a friend or foe, so i'm sure that will be the first question reporters will ask her after that meeting, if she has made up her mind.— her after that meeting, if she has made up her mind. laura, thanks for 'oinin: us. for the first time, railway workers from the rmt and aslef unions will strike together on october 1st. it means about 10% of saturday services will be able to run. train drivers who are part of the aslef union will also strike on october 5th. our transport correspondent

katy austin can tell us more. how does this differ from what we have seen before?— how does this differ from what we have seen before? train strikes are a familiar prospect _ have seen before? train strikes are a familiar prospect and _ have seen before? train strikes are a familiar prospect and we - have seen before? train strikes are a familiar prospect and we have - have seen before? train strikes are| a familiar prospect and we have had a familiar prospect and we have had a few of them and they were meant to be more in september but they were suspended after the death of the queen. the rmt union has only staged six days of strike action involving 40,000 members of staff at network rail which maintains and operates the infrastructure and i4 train companies as well so they are going to be having another day of strike action on the 1st of october but the aslef union which represents train drivers, they have also confirmed that there will be two days of strike action by drivers on the first and 5th of october, so the 5th of october, the impact will be on those 12 train companies affected by the train drivers walking out but on the train drivers walking out but on the 1st of october, the fact you

have these rare workers and the train drivers on the same day —— these rail workers. that means a really big impact and the network rail signallers, they work across the country, so a big impact there, and having the train drivers on strike on the same day adds to it, so previously we have seen about 20% of overall services able to run when we have had previous rmt strikes, and some places of course i've no services at all, but i think on that saturday this time we are likely to see it may be about 10% of services running over all but we don't know for certain because the timetable will not be out yet for some time. we are hoping to learn more at the end of the week.— we are hoping to learn more at the end of the week. what has prompted the industrial _ end of the week. what has prompted the industrial action? _ end of the week. what has prompted the industrial action? the _ end of the week. what has prompted the industrial action? the rmt- end of the week. what has prompted the industrial action? the rmt has i end of the week. what has prompted the industrial action? the rmt has a| the industrial action? the rmt has a very long-running — the industrial action? the rmt has a very long-running dispute _ the industrial action? the rmt has a very long-running dispute with - the industrial action? the rmt has a very long-running dispute with the l very long—running dispute with the rail industry and they say it is about pay and job security and working conditions. today the rmt

said there has been no new offer by the employers to solve this dispute through a negotiated settlement and the rmt�*s mick lynch, the general secretary, he said this could go on into the winter unless there is a breakthrough in talks which has not happened so far. the rail industry says it would like to give a pay rise but it says such as the financial hole that has been left by covid and the continuing impact of the pandemic on people's travel patterns, there is a financial shortfall and it says savings need to be made to afford a pay rise. that is the sticking point and aslef, the train drivers union, also says we need a pay rise that can keep up in some way with inflation and it says at the moment drivers of many companies are being offered a real terms pay cut because wages are not going up to keep pace with those price rises, so really it's about the unions saying pay needs to go up, working conditions need to be

protected, and the other side of the rail industry says they need to agree reforms and changes before they can put pay up. imilli agree reforms and changes before they can put pay urn-— they can put pay up. will this be it for the strikes _ they can put pay up. will this be it for the strikes or _ they can put pay up. will this be it for the strikes or could _ they can put pay up. will this be it for the strikes or could there - they can put pay up. will this be it for the strikes or could there be i for the strikes or could there be even more afterwards? aha, for the strikes or could there be even more afterwards?- for the strikes or could there be even more afterwards? a strike never ha--ens even more afterwards? a strike never happens until— even more afterwards? a strike never happens until it _ even more afterwards? a strike never happens until it happens _ even more afterwards? a strike never happens until it happens and - even more afterwards? a strike never happens until it happens and there i happens until it happens and there is always the possibility talks could happen between now and then which means it doesn't go ahead although that feels unlikely at the moment because the negotiations feel stuck frankly and things have not moved significantly over some weeks, maybe a couple of months, i get the sense. unions have made it clear they would be prepared to continue strike action for as long as they have been doing the mandate for, as long as the results of the strike ballot still stand.— ballot still stand. thanks for 'oinin: ballot still stand. thanks for joining us- _ 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. a family wanting answers — why did molly die, and what part did social media play? ahead of them, two weeks in court, hundreds of pages of evidence, containing many thousands of images, some too distressing to broadcast. a bright, apparently happy teenager, molly was just 14 when she took her own life. going through her social—media accounts, her father ian discovered she was being bombarded with content about suicide, depression and self—harm — on instagram, pinterest and other apps. the corporate culture at these platforms needs to change... since then, he's become a high—profile campaigner for internet safety, and for many has made a huge impact on the debate. i remember my disbelief when i saw my lifeless youngest daughter. that moment, my old life stopped. ian has been absolutely

magnificent, because, you know, from the very beginning, he's actually sort of put his loss, his pain and his agony into trying to make sure that this doesn't happen to other families. and 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. our correspondent ellie price has been at the coroner's court in north london today

there has been legal argument this morning about those files and files of evidence that angus was talking about in that report, the reams of social media posts that molly had been looking at in the six months before she died. quite shocking numbers here, she had looked at instagram 120 times per day and had liked more than 11,000 posts on instagram and 15,000 pages on pinterest in the same period. those were the legal arguments we were looking at, as to whether the media can report any of those pages that she had been looking at. at the heart of the inquest is two fold, really, the inquest into the death of a 14—year—old girl and the circumstances around which she died after she took her own life. but there is also a broader point,

campaigners say it is significant because this is the first time these tech companies will be held to account, how and if they are protecting younger users and representatives from the tech companies will be called to the inquest in person during the process and questioned by the coroner about the processes they use to protect younger users. it's the first time anyone from these companies will be during the process and questioned by the coroner about the processes they use to protect younger users. it's the first time anyone from these companies will be questioned under oath in a uk court so campaigners think this is an incredibly significant moment, especially because there is legislation going through parliament at westminster at the same time looking at online safety. worth mentioning that the coroner also indicated he will look at algorithms and that is the way in which our social media use is fired at us, similar pages to the ones you are looking at are sent to you in a way to get you hooked on a certain subject.

the coroner will be looking at that to see if some of those dreadful images and those dreadful subjects on depression and self—harm and suicide, and whether any of that played a part in molly's death. to be clear, this is not a process originating blame or anything like this, it is about establishing the fact and what led to her death? that is right. no one is on trial. the process of an inquest is to find out who, what, where and when, but it's significant that a coroner does have powers at the end of the process, if he sees fit, that he can write to a company or a government department to find a way and to see what action they can take to prevent further deaths, so there is significance at the end of the process. molly's parents ian and janet are in court today, and it is expected that janet will be talking about the moment she found the body of her lifeless daughter, and we are likely to hear from the police, as well, and we will hear more of that evidence, those social media posts that molly had been looking at.

and then of course we will hear from those representatives of instagram and pinterest and the process is likely to take two weeks. if you have been affected by the issues raised in the story you can find help and support here... let's speak to caroline allams who is an online safety educator. the thing that is striking about this is that outwardly there was no suggestion and no clue about what molly was seeing and what she was being exposed to and molly was seeing and what she was being exposed to— molly was seeing and what she was being exposed to and engaging with, so how can parents _ being exposed to and engaging with, so how can parents spot _ being exposed to and engaging with, so how can parents spot if— being exposed to and engaging with, so how can parents spot if their - so how can parents spot if their child is at risk of being exposed to such harmful material? i child is at risk of being exposed to such harmful material?— child is at risk of being exposed to such harmful material? i think it is a difficult space _ such harmful material? i think it is a difficult space because _ such harmful material? i think it is a difficult space because the - a difficult space because the internet is a very abstract space and for children who are venturing on the internet unaided, it is a really difficult space for them to

perceived potential risk, and it is right that pressure is put on the tech companies to take action on removing harmful material and it is important to remember that the internet was never designed with children in mind. even though it sounds like a simplistic solution, having regular relevant dialogue around digital experiences with children can go a long way to mitigating online vulnerability. we work closely with primary schools as an early intervention before children move towards digital autonomy but we need to create a culture of dialogue around online experiences at home and at school and we expect children to be able to instinctively know about technology because they are so often described as digital natives but this is actually unhelpful because it assumes that because they can manage the functionality of devices with impressive confidence, it means that we can assume they can also cope with the interactivity and we know

from the results that we hear every day that this is not the case. online vulnerability means that children need significant regular impactful digital education if they are to thrive in the online space. the thing that comes across clearly is your view that you can arm children to protect themselves by teaching them and educating them about how to see through the kind of harmful material or to avoid it and report it, but what role do you think the social media companies themselves have to play in this? unquestioningly, they need to recognise that children increasingly are using their platforms and games, and notice is being taken the age

restrictions. —— and little notice. the privacy of a user means it is easy for those who have ill intent to operate under the radar, but there is a high inevitability that children will encounter inappropriate and potentially harmful content. but we still need to get more comfortable with getting uncomfortable topics out in the open in an age appropriate way. we must remove the shame in talking about what children are being exposed to. it is not the fault of children that they see this content and yet we responsible eyes children with their online safety and there is an unhelpful undercurrent that they might have been able to avoid it. children are often away from the gaze of parents and carers when they are on screens and the pandemic has really meant this has happened more

and more. buti really meant this has happened more and more. but i would suggest that we take every bit of help available, that we can for our own children, for teachers and parents, and privacy settings are readily available, following age restrictions and saying no, getting devices out of bedrooms, especially overnight. making rules around the family, children ask to use screens, and have a chat about what they are going to be doing and what they have been doing on their screens, so you create this environment of healthy fear so that children from the beginning of their digital lives can move towards digital autonomy and thrive. ., , move towards digital autonomy and thrive. .,, ., , move towards digital autonomy and thrive. ., , ., , ., thrive. those are useful and practical _ thrive. those are useful and practical pointers _ thrive. those are useful and practical pointers for - thrive. those are useful and practical pointers for people watching. caroline, online safety educator, thanks forjoining us. now we can have a look at the weather.

the next few days should be a bit warmer thanks to a southerly breeze and i can show you the satellite picture over the last few hours. the best of the sunshine has been in coastal areas, this cloud in the north west thick enough to bring a bit of rain as we head into the night. a lot of the cloud elsewhere because it is driven by convection and heat building during the day, as we lose the heat, the cloud will break up, and we have clearer skies, and that could lead to mist and fog patches across the south—east of the uk and it could be habitually first thing tomorrow, temperatures 8—9 in towns and cities and a bit low in the countryside, but it will warm up in the sunshine and there maybe more sunshine from the word go. it may not last all day because the cloud will be building up, spreading out, and if there's any rain it is more likely to be in the north of scotland. a lot of dry weather tomorrow, sunshine to begin with, and because there is a southerly breeze it will be warm up with temperatures of 20 or 21.

but what i think we have seen happening isjust a huge outpouring of love and warmth towards her majesty. we have seen that notjust in the united kingdom but right around the world. i think the work that has been done by the civil service, by the royal household on the funeral has really paid a fitting tribute to somebody who contributed so much to the modern world, notjust in britain but right around the world. a core part of your set of political priorities as economic growth, getting the economy growing. are rising interest rates a price worth paying for that? interest rates are a matter for the bank of england. there's a reason why politicians do not set interest rates. we are responsible for economic policy. what is absolutely crucial to our economic policy is getting economic growth going. that is what we need to get more investment into the united kingdom,

to get more higher paid jobs, to get those opportunities for people right across the country. we will be working to strain every sinew to make things happen, to get britain moving and get that economic growth going that we need to make sure we have a secure future. but if you jump on the economic accelerator, the bank of england will be obliged to jump on the brakes, and that will mean, will it not, that people are paying more for their mortgages? i do not accept that analysis. in fact, the energy package that we announced — and the business secretary will be saying more about that this week — is projected to lead to lower inflation by up to five percentage points. a lot of the cost of inflation is being driven by higher energy prices, primarily caused by putin's war in ukraine. so the intervention the uk government is undertaking will help reduce inflation and also boost economic growth.

so i do not accept that analysis, i think it is vital that we stepped in, there was a very real fear that businesses would go under this winter, and many households would simply not have been able to afford those bills, so i think it is the right thing to do to step in, to help in the short term, whilst we are making sure we are never in that position again and that people and britain has that long term energy security. lots of families at the moment are really struggling. they will see that one of the things you're happy to see happen is for bankers to get bigger bonuses. whose side are you on? what i want to see is a growing economy, so everybody in our country has the high paid jobs that they deserve, the investment into their town or city or area, new business being set up, that is the kind of britain that i want to see. if that means the rich get richer, that is fine? if that means taking

difficult decisions, which are going to help britain become more competitive, help britain become more attractive, help more investment to flow into our country, yes, i am absolutely prepared to take those decisions because what i care about is i care about our country being successful and everyone in our country, wherever they live, wherever they are from, having those opportunities. you are willing to do unpopular things if you think it can contribute to a bigger economy? that is right. i will always work to make sure that we are helping those who are struggling. that is why we took the action that we took on energy bills, because we did not want to see households facing unaffordable bills. that is why we are going to take the action on national insurance, reversing that increase, as well. yes, we do have to take difficult decisions to get our economy growing, we have to look at our tax rates, so corporation tax needs to be competitive with other countries so that we can

attract that investment. ultimately, the reason i am doing that, the reason the chancellor is doing that is because we want people across this country to have those opportunities. that is why we are doing it. how worried are you about the falling value of the pound? my belief is that britain's economic fundamentals are strong. we have relatively low debt compared to the rest of the g7, we have strong employment, although we do need to help more people who are currently economically inactive get into work, we have a great enterprise culture, we have a fantastic... are you worried about the falling value of the pound? what i am about is getting those economic fundamentals right. and what the chancellor will be outlining on friday is his approach, showing that we are fiscally responsible, we are going to carry out our policies in a fiscally responsible way, and we are going to help make the united kingdom more competitive

and more successful. the pound has been tumbling, interest rates are rising, some prices are soaring, do you accept that, despite your interventions, times are going to be tough for people this winter? we are facing incredibly tough economic times. i am here in new york at the united nations, we have had the invasion of ukraine, which has pushed up energy prices, we are still seeing the after effects of covid. what is very important, as well as growing our economy, we are also protecting our economic security. we are making sure we back the ukrainians, and i am determined to make sure we back them for the long haul, because we cannot see russia succeed. we also need to make sure we are more energy independent and less dependent on those authoritarian regimes. it is about economic growth, but it is also about economic security. what i'm going to be doing over the coming days is talking to our allies about how we can deepen those ties with each other

so we can work together to make sure we have that security. last question, in what way will you be a different prime minister from boris johnson? i will be my own prime minister. i would not compare myself to any predecessors. the times we are different from the times predecessors have been in. we are entering a new era, it is a more insecure era, we face an increasingly aggressive russia, an assertive china, we need to work more closely with our allies, and we also need to get the british economy growing so that we have that security for all of our citizens. what i am about, and what my government is about, is about delivering for people. making sure that people have the jobs, the opportunities and the future that they can rely on.

liz truss speaking to the bbc�*s political editor chris mason. the 20—year—old man has beenjailed following violent scenes in leicester at the weekend. he 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. 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. 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, - 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. navteonhal, bbc news, leicester.

there have been further protests in iran over the death on friday of mahsa amini, a woman who'd been detained by the morality police for allegedly violating the islamic republic's official dress code. earlier, i spoke to rana rahimpour of bbc persian who explained what led to the protests. mahsa was arrested because, according to the authorities, her headscarf was not tight enough. it was not strict enough. obviously she was wearing a head covering and a robe, as is required by the law, but according to people who arrested her, it was not strict enough. so this has led to protests. how intense have they been, how widespread are they at the moment? these are the biggest protests in iran since 2019. and probably the most serious in recent years, especially because we have now seen many of the major cities, including the capital tehran, and there is a sound of unity. when cities are joining these

protests, they are chanting in support of the other provinces and the other cities. on top of that, we can see a line of women joining these protests. as you can see in these videos, what signifies these protests are the women who are taking off their headscarves, which is a compulsory hijab, and they are waving them in the air. we have footage of women setting their headscarves on fire and defying the riot police. we have footage of a women standing in front of a water cannon without a headscarf and standing there until the water cannon retreats. for many women, this is a sign that enough is enough. many women say that if we do not do something about this now, we might be killed, like mahsa, tomorrow. how does this differ, you mention previous protests, how does this differ from protests that have been held before? the level of anger and the lack of hope in change. in 2009, we had protests that

were bigger than this, it was internationally known as the green movement, it was about the meddling of the state, the alleged meddling of the state in the presidential elections. we had protests in 2009 which were about the economy. but this time, it is anger towards all of them. people say enough is enough, they are chanting death to dictator, death to harmony, we want a different regime. in that sense, it has brought people together, and they are all calling for an entire overhaul of the system. a proposal to tax people staying overnight in wales is being put to a public consultation. it could give individual councils the power to charge a levy on all overnight stays. many within the tourism

industry say it is the wrong time to be thinking about extra taxes during a cost of living crisis. brendan williams reports. the last thing we need is a tax. especially at this time. the welsh government _ especially at this time. the welsh government says _ especially at this time. the welsh government says a _ especially at this time. the welsh government says a visitor - especially at this time. the welsh government says a visitor levy - especially at this time. the welsh i government says a visitor levy would enable sustainable tourism and bring wales in line with more than 40 countries who run a similar charge. it is likely to be years before any potential levy is introduced.

councils could choose to enforce the tax and use the money for local services, but some think that in itself could cause problems. it could be huge. one council could charge £5 per night, another council could see, we do not want to charge, we are ok in ourfinances, so we will charge zero. therefore, if the campsites down south are not charging at all, but we are charging here, automatically it's like driving around the petrol station, you want the cheapest fuel, you will go south instead of coming to north wales. that affects the whole area and lots ofjobs. h0 wales. that affects the whole area and lots ofjobs.— wales. that affects the whole area and lots of jobs. and lots of 'obs. no amount is being ro osed, and lots ofjobs. no amount is being proposed. but _ and lots ofjobs. no amount is being proposed, but charges _ and lots ofjobs. no amount is being proposed, but charges could - and lots ofjobs. no amount is being proposed, but charges could apply l and lots ofjobs. no amount is being| proposed, but charges could apply to anyone staying overnight, including people living in wales, although some groups would be exempt. not everyone in the sector as opposed to a tourism tax in principle, but they question the timing of the consultation with costs rising everywhere. consultation with costs rising everywhere-— consultation with costs rising everywhere. consultation with costs rising eve here. y ,, u everywhere. many businesses are still -a in: everywhere. many businesses are still paying back _ everywhere. many businesses are still paying back covid _ everywhere. many businesses are still paying back covid borrowing l still paying back covid borrowing that they were forced to take out two years ago for the payments

have seen some sunshine coming through now and again. the thickest of the clout as to the far north—west will stop this is where we will continue to see a bit of rain pushing and overnight tonight. for many other areas, the cloud will tend to thin a break—up, find some clear spells, may be some mist and fog patches towards the south—east. a little bit chilly tonight, these are the temperatures in towns and cities, could get a few degrees lower than that in some rural areas. maybe with a chilly start, we will have a bit more centring around to start the day tomorrow. but it will tend to fill in with cloud a bit more into the afternoon, limiting the sunshine. again, mainly towards coastal areas, sunshine. again, mainly towards coastalareas, more sunshine. again, mainly towards coastal areas, more cloud inland, still got the potential for some rain in the north—west. we have also got the south to south—westerly breeze picking up a little bit. that is bringing a rise in temperatures, could be 21 and eight moray firth and across the south—east of england. quite warm for this time of the year. changes towards the end of the year. changes towards the end of the week because we have a band of rain in the north—west pushing its way south eastwards very slowly. could be some heavy rain overnight in western parts of scotland. that

band of rain should move through scotland and northern ireland on thursday. over the irish sea, coming into northern england and wales. ahead of it, after a bright start, we will see more cloud, still the same mr so it is quite warm, temperatures of 20—21. following the rain, change in the wind direction, cool things down, even though we should get some late sunshine in scotland and northern ireland. but we change the wind back to more of a north—westerly breeze by the end of the week. around a big area of high pressure out of the west. that is the breeze coming in, cooler air once that rain weaves its way south eastwards and pushes away the warmth from the south—east of england. it will not be quite as warm here on friday because we have cloud and rain coming to rest during the afternoon. elsewhere, with that north—westerly breeze, there will be more centring around, if you show us your and there, mainly in scotland and northern ireland, but temperatures by the end of the week will be a little lower, more typically around 16—17.
