(must read)hello and welcome if you're watching in the uk

hello and welcome if you're watching in the uk or around the world. president putin has announced a partial military mobilisation to help fight the war ukraine. in a television address, president putin said the west wanted the end of russia just as it had brought the soviet union to an end. it comes a day after russian occupied territories in ukraine announced votes on joining russia. that mobilisation — the first since world war ii — is aimed at those with previous military experience — and begins today. 300,000 reservists will also be called up to reinforce the russian military in ukraine. mr putin also said that he would support independence in areas of eastern ukraine currently controlled by russia backed separatists. here's some of what president putin

said in his address on russian television. translation: | repeat, | we are talking of a partial mobilisation only. 0nly people in the military reserve will be drafted. the priority will be on people who served in the armed forces, who have military specialisation and experience. those drafted before being sent to the places of service will have mandatory additional training, relying on experience gained during the special military operation. the decree on partial mobilisation has been signed. the russian president also issued this blunt warning. translation: i want to remind those who allow themselves _ translation: i want to remind those who allow themselves such _ translation: i want to remind those | who allow themselves such statements about russia that our country also has a variety of weapons of destruction. and if the territorial integrity of our country is threatened, we will, without question, use all the means at our disposal to protect russia and our

people. this is not a bluff. our russia editor steve rosenberg is in moscow, he explained what this means. what we heard first from the russian president was an admission, an admission that things had not been going that well in ukraine. until today, the official message from the kremlin to the people here has been that everything is going according to plan with the "special military operation". well, it clearly isn't if the russian president is now declaring a partial mobilisation and calling up potentially 300,000 military reservists. things haven't been going according to plan. but did he say to the russian people sorry, this was our mistake, we got it wrong? of course, he didn't. vladimir putin did what he does so often, he turned attention to the west and blamed the west. and accused the west of wanting russia's destruction, wanting the disintegration of russia, blamed everything on the collective west, as he put it.

so that was the admission. and then, of course, we got the threat and he made it very clear. he said russia would use all its means at its disposal to defend russia if its territorial integrity was threatened. now, what is that all about? well, in a few days' time, we've got the so—called referendum is coming up in russian occupied areas. of ukraine. and everybody expects that once the votes are counted, with the kremlin counting the votes, these territories will have voted to join russia. i think that he is sending a message to ukraine and to the west that once these territories have been annexed by russia, if you try to attack them or try to take these areas back, then russia will respond with force. and he said, this is no bluff and he had at the end this other threat,

those who try to blackmail us with nuclear weapons should know that prevailing winds can turn in their direction. that is a message to the west that russia has nuclear weapons and he claims, ithink, would be prepared to use them. we've had a statement from the uk defence minister ben wallace.

a security monitor in ukraine joins me now. one of the common perceptions of the russian army is that it relies on sheer numbers to gain an advantage in many situations. is that why we are seeing this mobilisation drive, and will russia be able to muster troops in these numbers?— will russia be able to muster troops in these numbers? hello, thanks for havin: in these numbers? hello, thanks for having me- — in these numbers? hello, thanks for having me. absolutely. _ in these numbers? hello, thanks for having me. absolutely. russia's - having me. absolutely. russia's armies have tended, historically, to rely on mass, rather than finesse. but in this particular instance, the mobilisation, the partial mobilisation, the partial mobilisation as putin has described it, is an admission that they simply don't have the manpower to defend the territorial gains they have already made, let alone finish the conquest of donetsk, which is still the region only half conquered. it's an extraordinary move, this will evoke memories of world war ii, is your previous report mentioned. but, the time, it is also going to potentially cascade in quite mixed ways back into russian society as

are seeing growing discontent in russia with the strategy that president putin was pursuing? 50. president putin was pursuing? so, there is a sort _ president putin was pursuing? srr, there is a sort of president putin was pursuing? sh, there is a sort of amateur president putin was pursuing? s513, there is a sort of amateur study president putin was pursuing? sr3, there is a sort of amateur study of russia's tv pundits. and there was a little bit more of a fractious discussion too throw on some of these tv in which some russian pundits are saying it is not going as well as we would have hoped it was going, or indeed that we are being told it is going. on the other hand, when you have seen polls of the russian public opinion, some, admittedly, by state—sponsored polling companies, support for the special military operation has actually been quite steady and increased in some cases. never underestimate the ability of the russian people, and their leader at the time, to call upon this kind of siege mentality that the whole world is out to get us and we have to pull together or perish. believe it or not, it still has quite a lot of emotional traction in large parts of russia. in emotionaltraction in large parts of russia. , ., emotionaltraction in large parts of russia. i. ,, , emotionaltraction in large parts of russia. ,, russia. in your book, russia's road to war,

women in iran set their headscarves on fire in fury. they are tired of the morality police beating them up and the islamic republic leaders who police their every move. their protest is sparked by the death of this woman. her name is mahsa amini. she wasjust 22. she was arrested by the morality police in tehran earlier this month. they said she wasn't wearing the mandatory hijab or headscarf properly. the security forces have released the cctv footage of mahsa in detention. it's heavily edited. suddenly, mahsa collapses. the authorities say she had a heart condition. but eyewitnesses say she was beaten up in the police van. she's taken to hospital and ends up in a coma. a few days later, she's dead.

women cry, "death to the dictator" and wave their headscarves at her funeral. the inscription on her gravestone reads that she is not dead, her name will become a symbol and live forever. mahsa was kurdish but protests are spreading across iran. a woman stands calmly in front of a water cannon until it has to reverse. and here, a police motorbike is set on fire. the woman filming shouts, "look, we've got nothing but we made them run away!" as mahsa's family predicted, her name has already become a symbol. a symbol of resistance. rana rahimpour, bbc news. the headlines on bbc news... vladimir putin calls up hundreds of thousands of reservists for the war in ukraine. the russian president warns he "will

contracts taken out since april. hospitals, schools, charities and places like community halls and churches will also benefit. the scheme will last for six months, but with an option to extend it for �*vulnerable businesses' — although it's not clear which sectors would be included. the government says bills could be cut in half, as the supported energy price will be "less than half the wholesale prices anticipated this winter" speaking in new york yesterday, the prime minister said it's important to give firms some security through the winter months. well, we know that businesses are very concerned about the level of their energy bills. that is why we are putting in place a scheme for business that will be equivalent to this scheme for households, to make sure that businesses are able to get through the winter. we are going to review it after six months. we will make sure that the most vulnerable businesses, like pubs, like shops, continue to be supported after that. we will be announcing the scheme on wednesday. what i can say is that the scheme

will apply from the 1st of october, to make sure businesses have that security through the winter. let's talk to our business correspondent, caroline davies. i'm just going to pick up on one of the points and no introduction to the points and no introduction to the story. the government says that bills could be cut in half as the supported energy price will be less than half the wholesale price is anticipated this winter. is the government going to make sure that energy firms are applying this cap to businesses?— to businesses? yes, this is the intention from _ to businesses? yes, this is the intention from the _ to businesses? yes, this is the | intention from the government, to businesses? yes, this is the - intention from the government, to make sure this is passed onto businesses. because that is what is crucial at this point. businesses feel the effect of this. in terms of some of the reaction we have already heard, that is something a lot of business groups are concerned to make sure that happens, it happens

relatively quickly. they say some businesses are right on the edge already. in terms of sadly how this is going to affect businesses, what the government has spelt out is essentially a cap which is going to be half the anticipated wholesale prices this winter. that is likely to be higher than the bills that people are already paying, because it is over the course of the winter on the anticipated price. that's quite a difficult one for the government to be able to assess. gas and electricity prices have been fairly volatile, and the government have had a large amount of advice being fed into that, to understand where they are expecting energy prices to go in the course of the next few months. one of the points that we have been raising and we still have more questions about is how this translates through to businesses, because of things like standing charges not being capped under this particular scheme. this is about the actual cost of the electricity and gas. businesses will be working out how this is going to affect them, and the prices that they are going to be paying. fine

affect them, and the prices that they are going to be paying. one of our viewers — they are going to be paying. one of our viewers is _ they are going to be paying. one of our viewers is getting _ they are going to be paying. one of our viewers is getting in _ they are going to be paying. one of our viewers is getting in touch - our viewers is getting in touch about his bills going up from £10 a month, up to £100 per month, you are saying there is no cap applying to standard charges? aha, saying there is no cap applying to standard charges?— standard charges? a lot of businesses _ standard charges? a lot of businesses have _ standard charges? a lot of businesses have been - standard charges? a lot of i businesses have been talking standard charges? a lot of - businesses have been talking about standing charges and how this will affect them. there is still some questions from businesses. one of the main thing is that businesses and business groups have responded to with this, they have been saying that they are welcoming this announcement. they say it is very timely, it is needed for businesses. there is a view repeated questions, queries, that we are also hearing back from businesses, firstly saying that they want to have this applied sooner, ratherthan that they want to have this applied sooner, rather than later, because sooner, ratherthan later, because businesses are right on the edge, and then quite a lot of other business groups are saying that this is not long enough. it's for a six—month period on many of them are trying to plant six 18 months in advance, this very difficult for

them. . , advance, this very difficult for them. ., , ., , advance, this very difficult for them. ., , ., ., them. certainty as one of the keywords _ them. certainty as one of the keywords we _ them. certainty as one of the keywords we hear _ them. certainty as one of the keywords we hear from - them. certainty as one of the - keywords we hear from businesses. that was my next question. do they think... obviously a lot of the people getting in touch are welcoming this as a start, but they want more security beyond the six—month period. the government says it is going to review this three months in. beyond that, there is a lack of clarity? and three months in. beyond that, there is a lack of clarity?— is a lack of clarity? and the government's _ is a lack of clarity? and the government's words, - is a lack of clarity? and the government's words, they | is a lack of clarity? and the - government's words, they said when they made the announcementjust under two weeks ago, they are going to publish a review into the operation of the scheme in three months' time, which will inform decisions on the future support after march 2023, which is when the scheme comes to an end. they said it will focus in particular on identifying the most vulnerable nondomestic customers. i think that is the phrase many businesses are worried about. are they going to fall into this vulnerable category, or are they not? are they going to get more of that support? it makes it difficult for businesses trying to make the long term plans about their future,

to make the long term plans about theirfuture, to to make the long term plans about their future, to work out how they are going to react to it. they are not certain about the level of support they might or might not get. evenif support they might or might not get. even if bills are cut in half, if it is half of an already very large bill, some businesses may not be able to survive that. fine bill, some businesses may not be able to survive that.— able to survive that. one of the oint is able to survive that. one of the point is also — able to survive that. one of the point is also being _ able to survive that. one of the point is also being made - able to survive that. one of the point is also being made by- able to survive that. one of the l point is also being made by some able to survive that. one of the - point is also being made by some of the business groups is that of different companies are going to benefit in different ways. it's not necessarily the case that every company is going to suddenly see their bills cut in half. it depends a bit about their energy usage, it depends on the contracts that they are sometimes using, how that is passed through. one of the other points that has been made by these business groups is that for some businesses this is coming a bit too late. they've already made those decisions. for others, some of the energy bills are going to be unachievable for them. there is concern those businesses need to be focused on, in particularfrom the pcc, speaking about this earlier, they have said that they want the chancellor, in what is being called the mini budget which is due on friday, to be focusing on how some of these businesses that are not

going to be able to meet these bills, how they are going to be helped. bills, how they are going to be heled. . , . bills, how they are going to be heled. ., , ., ., , ., , helped. that is a really, really aood helped. that is a really, really good question. _ helped. that is a really, really good question. just _ helped. that is a really, really good question. just to - helped. that is a really, really good question. just to clarify l helped. that is a really, really i good question. just to clarify that point on standing charges, the person getting in touch that it would be going up from 10.75 per day to £139 per day, but there is no cap on standing charges? hat to £139 per day, but there is no cap on standing charges?— to £139 per day, but there is no cap on standing charges? not from what we have seen. _ on standing charges? not from what we have seen, it _ on standing charges? not from what we have seen, it is _ on standing charges? not from what we have seen, it is focused - on standing charges? not from what we have seen, it is focused on - we have seen, it is focused on wholesale prices anticipated this winter. the government backed loans to make sure that these measures, the estimate is that this would cost tens of thousands of pounds to fund, and this is helping businesses, so there will be a discussion about the sort of bills that businesses will be seeing. sort of bills that businesses will be seeina. . ~ sort of bills that businesses will be seeina. ., ,, i. sort of bills that businesses will be seeing-— sort of bills that businesses will be seeina. . ~' , . , be seeing. thank you very much. plus continue with — be seeing. thank you very much. plus continue with the _ be seeing. thank you very much. plus continue with the story. _ nigel pocklington is the ceo of the renewable energy firm good energy.

nigel, thank you very much for joining us. i am going to prevail on you to try to answer a few viewer questions today. first of all, i would like to get your broad reaction to what the government has announced today.— announced today. thank you, good morninu. announced today. thank you, good morning. broadly _ announced today. thank you, good morning. broadly speaking, - announced today. thank you, good morning. broadly speaking, i- announced today. thank you, good - morning. broadly speaking, iwelcome morning. broadly speaking, i welcome the scale of the government's intervention. we obviously heard what they were going to do for domestic customers about ten days ago. there has been a gap in terms of what we do for business, and you can see here that this is something that should make a meaningful difference for a number of business customers. ., ., difference for a number of business customers— difference for a number of business customers. ., ., , ., , customers. ok, one of the questions i have is customers. ok, one of the questions i have is from — customers. ok, one of the questions i have is from a _ customers. ok, one of the questions i have is from a restaurant _ i have is from a restaurant business, abdullah's restaurant, they are asking how the energy cap applies to businesses that are already on a contract with their suppliers and have had quite a few businesses getting in touch with me, asking about contracts and how the cap applies. asking about contracts and how the ca- a- lies. , asking about contracts and how the cap applies-— cap applies. yes, it is worth exoiaining _ cap applies. yes, it is worth exoiaining to _ cap applies. yes, it is worth explaining to people - cap applies. yes, it is worth explaining to people that i cap applies. yes, it is worth l explaining to people that may cap applies. yes, it is worth - explaining to people that may don't run a business, business energy is a

different product to domestic tariffs, and it is usually sold in contracts that run for two or three years. one of the problems we have had over the last three months as a lot of people entered into contracts in the midst of the covid lockdown, when energy was very cheap, and it is only now that the massive increase in the wholesale cost of energy over the course of the last year has become apparent. the way i gather it is going to work, and we should stress that i am about 36 or 48 hours ahead of you on this, but not much more than that, if your contract was agreed after the 1st of april this year, that is a key date, then effectively we are going to be applying a discount, equivalent to the value of the rates you have been talking about two existing contracts as well. the 1st of april is the key data look at. if you signed up to a contract on or off that date, your supply will be adjusting your contract to reflect the new rates. white this question is from angela

burns, asking, does this energy price cap apply to businesses not on a fixed price plan? our price plan ended a few weeks ago and we decided not to fix until we heard what the government was proposing. yes, the short answer. it is less of a cap and more of a unit rate discount that the supplier will apply to tariffs. there is a maximum amount that this discount will run to. occasionally, businesses that are what is called out of contract will be paying very high energy rates because the supplier hasn't already bought energy for them in the forward market and is having to buy it in the near—term market. there be a case where there is a limit to how much they will make it, but the discount will be applied to anybody on a variable contract or a new contract. again, it is something your supplier will be working on right now, and they should have more information on the next few days. aha, information on the next few days. a question from steve, from an elite boxing academy in stalybridge, it

has thousands of kids coming in per year. how do we stand in terms of price rises? we are struggling at present, we are a community gem and we have a mortgage, and i am limiting lights on at present. so, as a community gym, they would be included? we are hearing at schools, hospitals and community centres would be included?— would be included? that's right. obviously it's — would be included? that's right. obviously it's always _ would be included? that's right. obviously it's always a - would be included? that's right. obviously it's always a bit i obviously it's always a bit difficult to comment on individual circumstances, but it is quite a broad cap, it is aimed at nondomestic energy users, and any charity, hospital, school, would be included in that. it's all around how you contract with your energy supplier and is how it is applying the discount to what is not the standard variable tariff that we are used to talking about on the domestic side.— used to talking about on the domestic side. this one is from richard, domestic side. this one is from richard. who — domestic side. this one is from richard, who is _ domestic side. this one is from richard, who is the _ domestic side. this one is from richard, who is the owner i

domestic side. this one is from richard, who is the owner of i domestic side. this one is from richard, who is the owner of a l richard, who is the owner of a business for 31 years. he says the current energy crisis is shattering. what i have heard is not giving me any facts at all, what is the unit price going to be? we are open 24 hours, three than 65 days per year. some of that will depend on the contract that he has got. again, we are starting by sympathise and, frankly, with the impact of the energy crisis on businesses and households around the country. there has been some detail released today on where they are trying to get the capped rate to in terms of energy prices. it will be that rate or a new contract, a discount applied to the existing contract if it was entered into after the 1st of april. it is something for an individual to inquire and clarify with their customers. that is part of the complexity here, unlike the domestic market, where, effectively, there is one product that most households in the uk are on, every arrangement

with larger customers, charities and hospitals, are offering a unique relationship. lots of customers will want to know more about their supplier, and the suppliers themselves are often only hearing much of the detail overnight themselves. the next week will be crucial in terms of clarifying the position for a lot of customers. lots of detail in many questions to be answered. thank you for answering those questions. nigel pocklington, ceo of the good energy company. i'm going to read out one more tweet. this is from salon owners united. they say that the government is out of touch with small businesses, the energy crisis is not only killing businesses, employers are drowning in covid debt. we need a miracle, not a cliff edge, salons are closing daily, they say. keep your thoughts coming into me. you can do that on

twitter. or on any of the other stories covering today. the queen's name has been inscribed on a new ledger stone in the windsor chapel where she was buried on monday. the late monarch was laid to rest with her husband, the duke of edinburgh, in the george vi memorial chapel — alongside her parents and sister. the stone replaces a black slab naming george vi and elizabeth, the queen mother. in 2019, the argentinian footballer emiliano sala was killed in a plane crash as he was travelling from nantes to cardiff to begin his career in the premier league. his body was found in the plane's wreckage at the bottom of the english channel. the pilot, david ibbotson, was also killed and in audio given to the bbc, we can hear first—hand the concerns he had about the safety of the aircraft they flew in. kayley thomas has this exclusive report. this is the last time emiliano sala and david ibbotson were seen alive.

for the first time, we can show you cctv footage from january 21st 2019, as the footballer and pilot go through airport security. these were final checks before the striker flew from nantes to wales to become a premier league player at cardiff city. earlier, david ibbotson is seen on the runway, preparing the plane ahead of the flight. everything was going to plan, and he sent this video to a pilot friend. but in a phone call to the same friend — the recording of which has been obtained by the bbc — david ibbotson raised concerns about the plane.

that's quite a bombshell of a tape to actually hear it in david ibbotson's own words, and to hear that he was concerned about the flight 24 hours earlier. i'd consider that absolutely explosive, frankly. i mean, a pilot has ultimate responsibility for the safety of the individual flight. and i think david ibbotson, knowing what he knew, could easily have decided that the flight wasn't safe. david ibbotson should never have taken the job to fly emiliano sala, as he wasn't a commercial pilot and couldn't legally fly at night. his concerns about the plane were echoed by his passenger. emiliano often came to this small house on the outskirts of nantes to see his friend and mentor marie—jeanne. he described the plane as a cuckoo to her — french slang for a rickety

old plane. translated: emiliano sent this last voice message to his friends from inside the plane. translated:

western australia's government is preparing to finally end a state of emergency used to close borders during the covid—19 pandemic. new laws are expected today that would replace the emergency powers first introduced in early 2020. it comes as other australian states end mask mandates on public transport. australia had some of the world's toughest covid controls, but few restrictions now remain as infections continue to fall. experts in australia are investigating how a pod of more than 230 whales became stranded on a remote beach in western tasmania. about half of the animals are believed to have died. they are thought to be pilot whales, the same species that was stranded in the same location two years ago. a man sentenced for carrying a knife at a protest in leicester at the weekend said he was influenced by social media.

adam yusuf, 21, received a suspended jail sentence in court yesterday after admitting possessing a knife at a march on sunday. the protest followed unrest on saturday in which 25 officers and a police dog were injured. it came amid tensions involving mainly young men from sections of the muslim and hindu communities. joining me now is the bbc trending's reporter reha kansara. reha, just begin by telling us how this unrest originated, what started it? . ., ., , this unrest originated, what started it? ~ ., ., , . , it? what we are seeing in leicester is very complex. — it? what we are seeing in leicester is very complex. a _ it? what we are seeing in leicester is very complex, a lot _ it? what we are seeing in leicester is very complex, a lot of— it? what we are seeing in leicester is very complex, a lot of people i is very complex, a lot of people talk about the tensions we are seeing there that are unfolding. it has been brewing for some months now, and it is not clear how it started, we are trying to understand what has led to the events. there is a lot to verify from social media, but i have been speaking to south asians from leicester who say that it was a cricket match in august that sparked the tensions, but

others say the narrative is too simplistic and that one of the causes of the rising tensions was an alleged attack on a muslim man by a large group of south asian men that happened in may. however, there has not been much media reporting on this, and a video circulated online depicting this is unclear. so we're not sure when or how this started, but one thing is certain — detentions have been brewing for some now. ., . detentions have been brewing for some now-— some now. police in the area are sa in: some now. police in the area are saying social _ some now. police in the area are saying social media _ some now. police in the area are saying social media has - some now. police in the area are saying social media has played . some now. police in the area are saying social media has played a| saying social media has played a huge role in making this was. what huge role in making this was. what have ou huge role in making this was. what have you found _ huge role in making this was. what have you found out? _ huge role in making this was. wish have you found out? social huge role in making this was. wisgit have you found out? social media huge role in making this was. wish have you found out? social media is definitely exacerbating the situation. we are notjust seeing instances of false misinformation and disinformation, we are seeing incidences, events that have happened in leicester that are then being posted on social media to add fuel to the fire. some of the widely

circulated and false statements that we have seen include claims of a young muslim girl being kidnapped, which turned out not to be true, a man and his family were doxed, which means public information was sought about them with the intention of mall intent, and this is disinformation. there is also another narrative that people are pushing, quite an important one, that there is another particularly small south asian community that has allegedly been inspired by extreme right—wing hindu nationalists in india, and that is something that both muslims and hindus and the wider local community seem to be repeating, from what i have found and from people we have spoken to. it is really hard to unpick and

confirm. but essentially there's blame from all sides, and ultimately we are trying to find out whether what people are spreading is making things worse. bud what people are spreading is making things worse-— things worse. and efforts to try and calm these — things worse. and efforts to try and calm these tensions, _ things worse. and efforts to try and calm these tensions, how _ things worse. and efforts to try and calm these tensions, how are i things worse. and efforts to try and calm these tensions, how are they l calm these tensions, how are they going? we calm these tensions, how are they auoin ? ~ ~ ., calm these tensions, how are they anoin? ~ ., ., calm these tensions, how are they aoian? ~ ., ., calm these tensions, how are they aoain? ~ ., ., ., , going? we know that there have been meetinas going? we know that there have been meetings with — going? we know that there have been meetings with community _ going? we know that there have been meetings with community leaders, i meetings with community leaders, with police. there is a lot of discussion about a sort of trying to ease tensions, but experts tell me that there are three overarching narratives that are being pushed, which can play into what we are seeing, and one is that there is a grand right—wing hindu conspiracy, the other is that leicester is an example of failed multiculturalism, and the third is that all muslims are complicit. of course, things seem today to be calming ever so slightly, however online what we are seeing is a sort of co—opting of these tensions from the right—wing

that would suffer from racism, but it was found that it suffers just as much, if not more, than many other sectors. as you say, the report by the royal society of chemistry found that a senior people, researchers in chemistry, were few and far between, particularly black people. they are paid less and get fewer promotions. and they are leaving chemistry research at every single stage of their career. now, this report shocked many of the chemistry firms and the royal society of chemistry into doing something about this frankly appalling situation. so firms including unilever, gsk and astrazeneca will be offering university students from ethnic minority backgrounds hands—on experience in industry, and the opportunity to apply for paid internships, the sort of thing that lots of students at university get through their own connections, but people from minority ethnic

backgrounds, particularly black students, don't seem to have the connections, the networks, but their colleagues on the same cause had, so this is designed to change all of that. ., , ., this is designed to change all of that. ., i. , .,, this is designed to change all of that. ., , , ., that. for young people coming up and aoain that. for young people coming up and going through — that. for young people coming up and going through school, _ that. for young people coming up and going through school, if _ that. for young people coming up and going through school, if they - that. for young people coming up and going through school, if they don't i going through school, if they don't see people that they identify with, they are less likely to think that this is an option open to them. itrefoil this is an option open to them. well the problem — this is an option open to them. well the problem isn't _ this is an option open to them. in the problem isn'tjust in chemistry, it is across all the sciences, and as you said in your introduction, it isjust amazing to as you said in your introduction, it is just amazing to think that in this country, there isjust is just amazing to think that in this country, there is just one black chemistry professor in the whole of the uk. not only that, there is very well respected chemistry professor, leader in his field, has not received a single grant from the main funding body, uk arrive. so that has got to be an absolute disgrace, but young black people say that, they kind of feel there is something not quite right about the profession. now, in its

defence, a lot of people involved, notjust in industry but academia, are trying to change the situation, they realise it is a shocking situation, and this is one of many initiatives that are being undertaken to try to find outjust what is going wrong in our universities and try to correct that situation. ., ., , ., ,, , ., situation. ok, pallab, thank you very much _ situation. ok, pallab, thank you very much for— situation. ok, pallab, thank you very much for that. _ joining me now to discuss this is professor ijeoma uchegbu, professor of pharmaceutical nanoscience at university college london and co—founder of the pharmaceutical company nanomerics. thank you very much forjoining us, professor. we are talking about all sorts of ceilings there, very few people from black and ethnic minority backgrounds have managed to break through in the scientific field, particularly chemistry. tell us how you did it. so field, particularly chemistry. tell us how you did it. 50 i field, particularly chemistry. tell us how you did it.— field, particularly chemistry. tell us how you did it. so i have always wanted to be _ us how you did it. so i have always

doctors and other medical professionals was based on research that was done on white people, and there was not so much evidence and research around on how certain protocols, certain medications would affect people who were not white, so i can see exactly your point. just to your background a little bit more first of all, what barriers did you face as you try to progress through your career? 50 face as you try to progress through your career?— your career? so i started out my phd, actually — your career? so i started out my phd, actually now— your career? so i started out my phd, actually now very - your career? so i started out my phd, actually now very unusual. phd, actually now very unusual position, because i was a mother of three young children, and a single mother as well, so i had all the problems associated with being a parent and trying to a research degree, very little money but a lot of support from my supervisor, and then i went on to look for my first position, got a few rejections, but i eventually got a job in scotland at the university of strathclyde as at the university of strathclyde as a lecture, then i started my group. once i started bringing in money

from the research councils, then i got a lot of support and became a professor fairly quickly, got a lot of support and became a professorfairly quickly, in got a lot of support and became a professor fairly quickly, in about six years, and then moved to ucl, where i have been running my group since. after a while, we wanted to spin out a company, and that is the company that will be hosting some of the graduates in the broadening horizons programme, they are going to come into our company, work for a while with a paid internship, and i hope that the experience will be so good that they go on and decide they want a career in chemical sciences. it is all about making sure that we have a large variety of people making decisions about research, just as you said, so that everybody benefits from this research, and not just a certain strata of people. that is lovely to hear that the company you started, you are going to be helping some of the students who hopefully benefit from the broadening horizons initiative. really coming full circle. the royal

society of chemistry is also putting its own money to try to do something about it. do we need to see more of that from companies? i am presuming you would say absolutely yes. totally, totally agree with you. how many reports have we seen in the uk on racial inequality? many, many reports, high—level reports, reports from all sorts of people, but the royal society of chemistry decided it is not enough to just raise awareness of the problem, we are going to try, a small charity with not much money, we are going to try to address the problem, and i started the broadening horizons programme, invited a lot of huge companies, as well as tiny companies, as well as tiny companies, to get involved, and they want to make a difference. it is not just about wringing your hands and lamenting, but doing something to make a difference, and they are putting money into the programme. we would like to see more people do that. enough reports, more action. professor ijeoma uchegbu, lovely to

talk to you, one of the people behind the broadening horizons initiative. . ~' , ., last week, a former bbc radio presenter was found guilty of stalking four people, including the broadcaster jeremy vine, and was jailed for five and a half years. alex belfield made youtube videos about his victims, posted messages on social media, sent emails, and also encouraged his followers to target them. following the sentencing of his stalker, jeremy vine has criticised social media companies for a lack of action against online hate. he's been speaking to newsnight�*s victoria derbyshire. it's not "sticks and stones will break my bones but words will never hurt me." it's almost the opposite. i had a physical stalker once — i had somebody turn up outside radio 2 and try and follow me home and stuff. that was a picnic compared to this. cos what happened in this case is that you're fired on from all directions. every time you open your phone, he's there. every time you turn on

your computer, he's there. and you know that what he's doing is he's adjusting or despoiling your digital self. now, you may say, "well, that doesn't matter, you just come offline." but the fact is that, you know, we live 70, 80, 90 years, but our digital presence goes on forever, and you can see yourself being dismantled. and you can't see it ending. the judge actually said, when he sentenced belfield, "you didn't meet or physically approach or watch any of your victims as a traditional stalker might have done." "your methods were, however, just as effective as a way of intimidating your victims and were, in many ways, much harder to deal with." the danger came from the online traffic, not from the individual. i would have done anything to meet this guy and have a conversation with him face—to—face. he wouldn't have been threatening — he was probably a coward. but what he wanted to do was create so much hatred against me that someone acted by proxy. i'm absolutely certain that he knows, with 400,000 people watching those videos,

that at some point someone is going to take a knife or acid to my home. or the other thing is he gets one of his victims to take their own life. we heard about someone trying exactly that in the court case — one of the victims. two of them described themselves as becoming suicidal. that is not to be taken lightly. i think if the courts hadn't stopped alex belfield, somebody would have died. where you are afraid of him? i was afraid of what he could do to my family. i was afraid because... you have to think around corners with this stuff. and, you know, we've seen knife attacks on mp5, mp5 being killed, people who are prominent being attacked, so i'm not trying to give myself undue status here, but i have to think this through. so i can see this youtube channel is an absolute fountain of hate. he wants that hatred to be so great that someone pays me a visit. and i know he wanted that because he put my home address out. so i had to take it seriously.

i've got two teenage daughters... you know, i can't be casual about it. so at that point i was scared for them. how would you describe this experience? what words would you use? i felt broken over it. i tried to stay away from it, but people would say, "oh, i saw this thing." and then, of course, his followers would come at me so i'd be blocking like crazy. and again, you know, looking for followers to block and. . .that�*s just not healthy. i think itjust took me into a really unhealthy space. in a way, it took me into his...weird brain. you know, he pulls people into this dark orbit that he's in. how have youtube and twitter behaved during all of this? i'm amazed at how hard it is to get them to realise. so we went to youtube and said, "come on!" you know, "what's going on with this guy? you can't allow him tojust defame..." then we say, "ok, there's a libel action now, based on that video, that video, that video.

they still won't take them down! eventually, we have to go through a lawyer. they take down individual videos. and then when he's convicted, they demonetise him. but half the videos about me are still up there. his technique was to say "copy and share". so you'll have someone who takes his video in moscow and hosts it, and it'll always be out there. i've got to live with that. but the fact that youtube hosts this stuff, they have no responsibility. they don't care. they don't give a toss, they don't give a toss. sorry for my language, but i am disgusted by their lack of values. and twitter, as well. you know, the guy still... he's in prison, and he's still got a twitter account. what the hell is that about?! mm. i don't understand it. with somebody like belfield, the flagging of those broadcasts was continuous, constant — notjust by the victims, by other people who are friends of the victims. one person went into the youtube hq and asked reception if they could do anything about it! so it's not a mystery to them which are the problem accounts, and theyjust need to take them down.

you know, belfield has already put out a video from prison saying he's going to be right back up and running. he's got restraining orders now in eight people's cases, but he'll start on other people. and i do think, you know, the one thing you can do is deprive people of their platform. thank you very much for talking to us. a spokesperson for youtube said that belfield's channel remains suspended and several videos have been removed for violating its creator responsibility policy and community guidelines. twitter declined to comment. you can watch the full interview withjeremy vine on newsnight, tonight on bbc two at 10:30pm, and also on iplayer. the global consequences of climate change is visible in landscape around the world. in the arctic north, glaciers are melting at an alarming speed. in parts of the southern hemisphere, there's drought with red hot temperatures and a lack of rain. in the middle east, one of the world's great rivers is all but disappearing. tim allman reports.

if biblical legend is correct, adam and eve may have drunk from these waters. they helped give birth to civilisation itself. but now the river tigris is dying. farmers farmed on its banks, relying on the water it brings. but the water is slowly, surely, disappearing. translation: our life depends on the tigris. if the water level drops, our agriculture and region will be damaged. if iraq doesn't find a solution, there will be no water left and no agriculture. along this stretch of river, there were once orchards, fields of wheat, livestock. most of it is gone now. man is to blame one way or another. translation: the water level has

dropped due to two reasons. i firstly, the dams installed by neighbouring countries. secondly, the effects of climate change, including high temperatures which exceed 50 celsius and low rainfall. for generations, this man's family has tended to the palm trees. they provided dates, molasses and henna, but life is a lot different these days. translation: the tigris and euphrates are gone, | their water doesn't reach here. my mind can't fathom how it went from good to poverty. water is the basis of everything, and now the tigris and euphrates have no water. some have described this as the twilight of the tigris. if the river disappears, how can the communities it once supported hope to survive? tim allman, bbc news.

one of the biggest events in hollywood is making a return next year — the golden globes. for decades, it was a precursor to the oscars and kicked off the annual film award season. but last year it was dropped by its broadcaster nbc, the chief reason being a lack of diversity among its judges. our north america correspondent peter bowes has been following the story in los angeles. this has been a huge controversy in hollywood after the last couple of years after an expose by the los angeles times when it was revealed that, of the 87 members of the hollywood foreign press association, none were black. an almost complete lack of racial diversity. and other issues as well with the way the organisation was run. the voters for the golden globes, a long—term practice of accepting gifts from the studios by the voters for the golden globes, and that is one of the big changes, and that will be banned in the future, and they have also

brought in new voters. a more racially diverse group of 100 people from outside the organisation and 20 new members, six of whom are black. the question remaining, is this enough for hollywood? the many people in this town who boycotted the golden globes and indeed the entire organisation, the events they put on throughout the year, publicists did not want have anything to do with them. many celebrities turned their backs on the hollywood foreign press association. clearly, this is enough for nbc to put the show back on television at the beginning of next year, but i think the jury is still out as far as hollywood is concerned. many people here still want the golden globes to go ahead, because it is the beginning of the award system and a traditional precursor the oscars when the actors get out there and talk about projects, the new movies, in the hope that perhaps it will garner attention and possibly votes for the oscars. everyone wants it to go ahead,

providing it is not tainted by controversy. peter bowes with that report. you are watching bbc news. hello again. the weather today's very similar to yesterday. yesterday's top temperatures were 20 or 21 degrees in edinburgh and also ross on wye. today, very similar. there's a fair bit of cloud around, so we're looking at bright spells. there will be some sunny intervals, but rain across the north and west of scotland, and the wind strengthening here later on. you could catch the odd shower, for example, across southern scotland, northern england and parts of wales, but most of us will miss them. now through this evening and overnight, if anything, this rain turns a bit heavier, gusty winds around it. ahead of it, we're looking at some clear skies and light winds. so some of us will see some mist and fog patches form. but for most of us, it is going to be another mild night. so that's how we start the day

tomorrow, on a mild note, with a weather front continuing to push eventually out of scotland and northern ireland and head further south. blustery winds around it, dropping behind it, where we will see a return to sunshine and showers, and the cloud continuing to build as this weather front slips southwards. but it should stay mostly dry across the far south and southeast of england. one or two showers appearing in scotland and northern ireland, but brightening up and temperatures coming down. fresher conditions following on behind that weather front in the north, still comparatively mild in the south. as we move from thursday into friday, our weather front continues to sink south, it develops what we call a wave in it, which means this may not be the final resting place for this rain. it might be a little bit further north or further south, but it is coming south through the course of the day and will also get into the channel islands. behind it, a lot of dry weather, one or two showers, a change in the wind direction to more of a northwesterly. and you can see how the cooler conditions

filter that bit further south. we'll still have the dregs of that front in southern areas during the course of saturday morning, still potentially affecting southern england as well as the channel islands, but high pressure building behind it. but you can see how the milder air on friday represented by the ambers is eventually pushed away on saturday as the cooler yellows move in. so cooler conditions on saturday, more of a northerly component to our wind. the rain eventually moving away from southern england but lingering across the channel islands for much of the day, and our temperatures ranging from 13 in the north to about 18 in the south.

this is bbc news. the headlines at 11:00am: the government has announced plans to introduce a cap on wholesale energy bills for businesses from the first of october. a firms say the move is welcome — but they need more details. 900% increases in bills over the last new months.— 90096 increases in bills over the last new months. . , ., last new months. raining summer that in is of course — last new months. raining summer that in is of course brilliant, _ last new months. raining summer that in is of course brilliant, how— last new months. raining summer that in is of course brilliant, how much i in is of course brilliant, how much that going to get reined in inaudible when it's going to hit? vladimir putin calls up hundreds of thousands of reservists for the war in ukraine. his defence minister says the move will only cover those with battlefield experience. of course i want to answer any questions that may have arisen around this, we are not under any

unlike domestic customers, businesses don't currently have an energy price cap. the energy bill relief scheme will see wholesale electricity prices limited to 21.1p per kilo watt hour, compared to a current rate of around 28 pence. gas will be capped at 7.5 pence per kilo watt hour, compared to average prices now of 11 pence per unit. the changes will apply from the 1st of october and also cover fixed contracts taken out since april hospitals, schools and places like community halls and churches will also benefit. this the scheme will last for six months, but with an option to extend it for �*vulnerable businesses' — although it's not clear which sectors would be included. the government says bills could be cut in half, as the supported energy price will be "less than half the wholesale prices anticipated this winter" speaking in new york yesterday,

the prime minister said it's important to give firms some security through the winter months. well, we know that businesses are very concerned about the level of their energy bills. that is why we are putting in place a scheme for business that will be equivalent to this scheme for households, to make sure that businesses are able to get through the winter. we are going to review it after six months. we will make sure that the most vulnerable businesses, like pubs, like shops, continue to be supported after that. we will be announcing the scheme on wednesday. what i can say is that the scheme will apply from the 1st of october, to make sure businesses have that security through the winter. our economics correspondent explained the government's move and some of the reaction to it. yes, this is the intention from the government, to make sure this is passed onto businesses. because that is what is

crucial at this point. businesses feel the effect of this. in terms of some of the reaction we have already heard, that is something a lot of business groups are concerned to make sure that happens, it happens relatively quickly. they say some businesses are right on the edge already. in terms of how this is going to affect businesses, what the government has spelt out is essentially a cap which is going to be half the anticipated wholesale prices this winter. that is likely to be higher than the bills that people are already paying, because it is over the course of the winter on the anticipated price. that's quite a difficult one for the government to be able to assess. gas and electricity prices have been fairly volatile, and the government have had a large amount of advice being fed into that, to understand where they are expecting energy prices to go in the course of the next few months. one of the points that we have been raising and we still have more questions about is how this translates through to businesses,

because things like standing charges not being capped under this particular scheme. this is about the actual cost of the electricity and gas. businesses will be working out how this is going to affect them, and the prices that they are going to be paying. michelle ovens is the founder of small business britain, a group which advocates for small companies. she says the help is very welcome, as they're seeing more businesses fail now than at the height of the coronavirus pandemic. overall, it's very positive. the devil's going to be in the detail, of course. so how much of a reduction are we talking about and how is that going to apply to each business? because, of course, it is going to vary partly because small businesses haven't had a price cap before. so they're on wildly different tariffs. so to understand how exactly is that going to impact, you're looking at businesses that have maybe had some cases eight, 900% increases in their bills over the last few months. so reining some of that in is, of course, brilliant. how much is that going to get reined in? when is it going to hit?

we're talking about a sector that is facing problems right now. you know, most small businesses, they don't have more than sort of 4 to six weeks of cash in hand. so we need help as fast as possible. and i think we need to understand what exactly the impact is going to be business by business. let's talk to our political correspondent, jonathan blake. as we were hearing, there are a lot of variables here and businesses are not completely clear about what is going to mean for them. in terms of the government deciding to act six months initially, what are the considerations? because what happens to businesses has a big impact on the wider economy? it to businesses has a big impact on the wider economy?— to businesses has a big impact on the wider economy? it does. i think whilst this is _ the wider economy? it does. i think whilst this is welcome _ the wider economy? it does. i think whilst this is welcome detail - the wider economy? it does. i think whilst this is welcome detail for i whilst this is welcome detail for businesses today, wanting to know how the government is going to help them with the soaring cost of energy prices, there are some big unknown questions. particularly around the length of time that the scheme is

going to be in place as it is and how it might change in the future. also, beyond that, how it's going to be paid for. and how much it will cost in total. we can see some of those concerns and questions reflected in the immediate political reaction to the government's announcement this morning. so, labour saying it is farcical when businesses are only finding out now what help they are going to get. the government has been dithering and delaying. the party says a full stomach putting too many businesses who have already had no option but to close. the liberal democrats saying this is a temporary sticking plaster coming too late, again method companies that have already had a close and that the government is no plan beyond the next six months leaving many businesses are paralysed. so there will be a review the government has said in three months' time into how the scheme is working, which it says could see it being further targeted or maybe replaced or even extended. there are

question marks about how long this support is going to continue and in what form. we see that reflected by a response from business groups as well as the political reaction here at westminster. then of course there is the wider economic consideration about what will be a hugely expensive government intervention coming off the back of the planned schemes for domestic energy companies... customers, from homes to help the people pay their bills there. the government cannot put a figure on how much it's all going to cost and they haven't said in detail how they are going to pay for it. given anything we have heard from liz truss before has been about cutting taxes it's clear it is going to have to come from extra borrowing on the part of the government. that comes with its own concerns and risks as far as many of the government's political opponents are concerned. little opportunity to find out more about that today, but we have a of course big financial statement by the chancel on friday

in the house of commons. not a full budget but what they call a mini budget, so perhaps more detail there. joining us now from bath annette dolan, the owner of bath aqua glass — a specialist glass production company. thank you forjoining us. before you tell us how you think the government's announcement might impact your company, can you tell us first of all your energy bills that you are potentially facing? the one we are facing _ you are potentially facing? the one we are facing now _ you are potentially facing? the one we are facing now is _ you are potentially facing? the one we are facing now is 7.5 _ you are potentially facing? the one we are facing now is 7.5 works i you are potentially facing? the one we are facing now is 7.5 works out | we are facing now is 7.5 works out to about 53,000 a year and that is “p to about 53,000 a year and that is up from 14,000 a year. that to about 53,000 a year and that is up from 14,000 a year.— to about 53,000 a year and that is up from 14,000 a year. that is “ust like ou up from 14,000 a year. that is “ust like you have fl up from 14,000 a year. that is “ust like you have calculated i up from 14,000 a year. that is “ust like you have calculated the i up from 14,000 a year. that isjust like you have calculated the gas i like you have calculated the gas bill that you will potentially face on the basis of the new capped amount at 7.5 p per kilowatt our. that has come down from, i think you i had read that you had previously

the defence secretary, ben wallace, has said president putin's decision to escalate the war in ukraine is an admission that his invasion is failing. in a television address, president putin said the west wanted the end of russia just as it had brought the soviet union to an end. it comes a day after russian— occupied territories in ukraine announced votes on joining russia. that mobilization — the first since world war two — is aimed at those with previous military experience — and begins today. 300,000 reservists will also be called up to reinforce the russian military in ukraine. mr putin also said that he would support independence in areas of eastern ukraine currently controlled by russia backed separatists. here's some of what president putin said in his address on russian television. translation: | repeat, | we are talking of a partial mobilisation only. 0nly people in the military reserve will be drafted.

the priority will be on people who served in the armed forces, who have military specialisation and experience. those drafted before being sent to the places of service will have mandatory additional training, relying on experience gained during the special military operation. the decree on partial mobilisation has been signed. the russian president also issued this blunt warning: |translation: i want to remind those | who allow themselves such statements about russia that our country also has a variety of weapons of destruction. and if the territorial integrity of our country is threatened, we will without question use all of the means at our disposal to protect russia and our people. this is not a bluff. speaking on state tv, russia's minister of defence, seregei shoigu, had more information on who exactly would be called up.

translation: it is not people l who have no military experience, it is those who have a, served in the armed forces and b, those who have a particular specialisation that is needed within our armed forces, who have experience on the battlefield. of course, i want to answer any questions that may have arisen around this. we are not, under any circumstances, talking about mobilisation of conscripts or students. those people can get on with their studies. no one is going to call them up or mobilise them. the same goes for conscripts. they will not be included in any kind of mobilisation in those areas where the special military operation is being carried out. 0ur conscripts will continue to serve, as they have been doing, in the territory of the russian federation. 0ur russia editor steve rosenberg is in moscow , he explains what this means. what we heard first of all from the russian president was an admission, an admission that things have not been going that well in ukraine.

until today, the official message from the kremlin to the people here has been that everything is going according to plan with the "special military operation". well, it clearly isn't if the russian president is now declaring a partial mobilisation and calling up potentially 300,000 military reservists. things haven't been going according to plan. but did he say to the russian people sorry, this was our mistake, we got it wrong? of course, he didn't. vladimir putin did what he does so often, he turned attention to the west and blamed the west. and accused the west of wanting russia's destruction, wanting the disintegration of russia, blamed everything on the collective west, as he put it. so that was the admission. and then, of course, we got the threat and he made it very clear. he said russia would use all its means at its disposal to defend russia if its territorial integrity was threatened. now, what is that all about? well, in a few days' time,

we've got the so—called referendum is coming up in russian occupied areas. of ukraine. and everybody expects that once the votes are counted, with the kremlin counting the votes, these territories will have voted to join russia. i think that he is sending a message to ukraine and to the west that once these territories have been annexed by russia, if you try to attack them or try to take these areas back, then russia will respond with force. and i think what putin is saying today, he is sending a very clear and he said, this is no bluff and he had at the end this other threat, those who try to blackmail us with nuclear weapons should know that prevailing winds can turn in their direction. that is a message to the west that russia has nuclear weapons and he claims, ithink, would be prepared to use them.

0ur correspondent, hugo bachega, reports from kyiv. we had reaction from one of the president's top advisers saying that it is not really surprising that president putin made this announcement. yesterday was pretty much the same reaction we had when those leaders from those occupied areas of the country announced plans for those referendums on the weekend on joining russia. so the ukrainians are saying that this is russia's reaction to what is happening on the ground, and that is the ukrainians are going ahead with this counter offensive, they are reclaiming territory from the russians. so yesterday we heard from the foreign minister here saying that the announcement of those referendums were russia's reaction to defeat on the battlefield. i think today we will hear pretty much the same reaction.

later today, president zelensky will be addressing the general assembly at the un. so it will be interesting to see what he has to say, whether he will react to this latest announcement. but i think we can expect to hear from the president more calls for western countries to step up their a level of military support, the support that they have been giving to the ukrainians in this war. sir andrew wood is the former british ambassador to russia, where he represented our country between 1995 and 2000 — he joins us from jersey. welcome, thank you forjoining us. what is your reaction to this address from vladimir putin? it’s what is your reaction to this address from vladimir putin? it's a hiuh address from vladimir putin? it's a high exercising _ address from vladimir putin? it's a high exercising fantasy, _ address from vladimir putin? ut�*s — high exercising fantasy, the idea that people in areas which have been

tortured by russian oppression, where people have been attacked and killed for no reason i going to vote to be part of russia, it is essentially lunatic. a lot of people have left who would have normally been able to vote, so perhaps they can get their prisoners out and move them. it is a farce, like that. i think it is also representing a fear on put in's part that his grip on russia is becoming less concrete. i'm not suggesting it's going to be overturned soon but it suggests he doesn't have a whole will of his people that he is supposed to. it's a difficulty for him.— a difficulty for him. speaking like this, ou a difficulty for him. speaking like this. you read — a difficulty for him. speaking like this, you read into _ a difficulty for him. speaking like this, you read into it _ a difficulty for him. speaking like this, you read into it as - a difficulty for him. speaking like this, you read into it as a - a difficulty for him. speaking like this, you read into it as a fear- a difficulty for him. speaking like this, you read into it as a fear of| this, you read into it as a fear of him losing his grip, how will it be read in russia where the messaging has been, it's all under control,

this is a special operation, it's not a war, now the russian people hear this message, what do you think they might read into that? timer;r hear this message, what do you think they might read into that?— they might read into that? they have seen on their— they might read into that? they have seen on their own _ they might read into that? they have seen on their own state _ they might read into that? they have seen on their own state television . they might read into that? they have seen on their own state television a i seen on their own state television a number of arguments about what is happening which would have gotten the message through to a certain extent anyway. we mustn't forget that russian conscripts who have been fighting for russia in the ukraine have parents and they have been aware of the loss of considerable lives. the russian army is not performing well, it has been outmanoeuvred, and commanded and has retreated quite heavily in places. it doesn't mean to say he has been

defeated, but it is going to be in trouble. i don't myself see a partial mobilisation will do a great deal to change that. it will not have more and better weapons because of it. if they managed to achieve the capability in donbas, for example, proclaiming it to be part of russia, that is their proclamation, it is not true. a threat to use all weapons is, again, it is a propaganda thrust. i am not a military man, but i don't see what you use nuclear weapons would actually have in ukraine. if they propose to use them outside ukraine, they might find a most unwelcome retaliation in return. again, that

is intent to change the atmosphere. so you are saying propaganda, basically sabre rattling. but do you take the threat seriously from vladimir putin?— take the threat seriously from vladimir putin? ,., g, , vladimir putin? personally i find it unbelievable. _ vladimir putin? personally i find it unbelievable. but _ vladimir putin? personally i find it unbelievable. but nothing - vladimir putin? personally i find it unbelievable. but nothing is - vladimir putin? personally i find it unbelievable. but nothing is to - vladimir putin? personally i find it unbelievable. but nothing is to be| unbelievable. but nothing is to be dismissed. there will certainly be people in europe and elsewhere who will feel he might do something in that nature, at least as a demonstration. so yes, if you look at it from a european point of view, people finding in the east of europe are more aware of what russia is than people less close than it. but we can also see other countries around russia which they regard as part of its natural borders are

becoming less immediate to beat in's views. there is a sense of weakening and a sense of desperation, is a strong word, but fear that somehow or another this is notjust going right now but will not go right for the future either. so we could be on the future either. so we could be on the cusp of, eventually, radical change in russia itself. let the cusp of, eventually, radical change in russia itself.- the cusp of, eventually, radical change in russia itself. let me 'ust brina ou change in russia itself. let me 'ust bring you some fl change in russia itself. let me 'ust bring you some breaking �* change in russia itself. let mejust bring you some breaking news, - change in russia itself. let mejust bring you some breaking news, we| change in russia itself. let me just . bring you some breaking news, we are hearing of a fine for an online gambling business from the gambling commission which is finding the best way limited over £1i00,000 for marketing on the children's pages of west ham united football club's

again. today puzzling weather is similar to yesterday's at a lot of dry conditions, favorable amounts of clouds or some bright spells or some sunshine with a chance of a shower across southern scotland, northern england and parts of wales. but most of us will miss them. however, we do have some rain across the northwest of scotland and the wind will be strengthening here through the course of the afternoon, with temperatures widely 1a to 21 degrees through this evening and overnight. if anything, the rain turns a bit heavier as it moves across scotland. in northern ireland, again, quite windy conditions around it. to the south, under clear skies and light winds will see some eastern fog patches forming. but once again, it's going to be a mild night, more or less across the board. so tomorrow, a band of rain slowly edges southwards, and in doing so, the cloud will build ahead of it. behind it, you'll find we'll see. return to sunshine and a few showers. the winds easing and a top temperature getting up to 20 degrees.

hello this is bbc news with martine croxall. the headlines... the government has announced plans to introduce a cap on wholesale energy bills for businesses from the first of october. firms say the move is welcome but they need more details. in some cases, they have been 900% increases in their bills over the last few months. raining some of that in is of course brilliant. how much will that be reined in? when will it hit? vladimir putin calls up hundreds of thousands of reservists for the war in ukraine. the russian president warns he "will use all the means russia has", and that his words are not a bluff. the bbc obtains new material relating to the death of footballer emiliano sala. the pilot of the plane, which crashed, said the aircraft was "dodgy" before it took off. bbc presenterjeremy vine criticises social media companies for a lack of action against online hate,

we are seeing in leicester something very complex, people talk about the tensions that we are seeing the which are unfolding. it has been brewing for some months now and is not clear how it started. we are trying to understand what happened to it lead to these events, are not on social media. there is a lot to verify, but i have been speaking to many people, south asians who say that it many people, south asians who say thatitis many people, south asians who say that it is a cricket match in august which sparked these tensions. some say this narrative is way too simplistic and that one of the causes of these rising tensions was an alleged attack on a muslim man by an alleged attack on a muslim man by a large group of south asian men which happened in may. there has not been much media reporting on this, and video which has circulated online depicting this is unclear. so we are not sure when or how this started, but one thing is certain — that tensions have been brewing for some months now. joining me now is the police and crime commissioner for for leicester, leicestershire and rutland rupert matthews.

and we are writing get well cards for those officers who have been injured. that is communal activity, it is absolutely unacceptable —— of criminal activity. it is absolutely unacceptable —— of criminalactivity. it it is absolutely unacceptable —— of criminal activity. it is myjob to make sure that the chief constable has got the resources and the office of power that he needs to deal with it. they have been people who have been sitting terrified in their own homes worried about if they will have somewhere to go to work the following morning. more violence on the street is absolutely unacceptable, people have to take responsibility for what they do. if you go on the streets looking for trouble, you are putting yourself on the wrong side of a line, and the police will be reacting accordingly. and obviously they were very strong messages that you are putting out fair about what the police will do. what part... how important is the part, in your view, what part... how important is the part, in yourview, of what part... how important is the part, in your view, of community leaders? and the role they play? tt is very important, community leaders play a huge role in relationships

between the communities but also the atmosphere within their own community. you mentioned about social media, we know absolutely for a fact that some of the claims that are being made on social media are completely and utterly false. some of the more emotive allegations are simply not true. community leaders can play a huge role in defusing tension within their communities but also defusing tension between communities. that will all help to keep people at home, to stop violence breaking out. and really we need people to stay at her and not go out causing trouble. they might think they are going out to help, they might think they are doing something constructive, they are just making the situation worse. and the community leaders can do a huge amount to help get that message across. :, ::, : amount to help get that message across. :, _, : :, , :, amount to help get that message across. :, : :, i. :, across. how concerned are you about the im act across. how concerned are you about the impact of — across. how concerned are you about the impact of this? _ across. how concerned are you about the impact of this? well, _ across. how concerned are you about the impact of this? well, we - across. how concerned are you about the impact of this? well, we still- the impact of this? well, we still have to find _ the impact of this? well, we still have to find out _ the impact of this? well, we still have to find out exactly - the impact of this? well, we still have to find out exactly what - the impact of this? well, we still have to find out exactly what the l have to find out exactly what the impact is going to be in the short

not a serious underlying issue that could continue to fester? we know there is underlying _ there is underlying tension between there is underlying tension between the communities which has been going on for some weeks, months even. whether it is serious, no, i don't think so. this is something which has been stoked up, allegations have been made which are not true, inflammatory statements have been made. this is something which has blown up and can be calmed down. leicester is a great place, these committees have lived here for decades, and it has all been absolutely fine. so by and large the vast majority of people in leicester got on with each other, appreciate each other�*s cultures, enjoy each other�*s's cultures. there are lots of festivals which take place in leicester. 0ur of festivals which take place in leicester. our hope is that this is some kind of temporary blip and we are getting on top of it. we must pay tribute to the courage and determination and the skills of the police officers deployed into the city, notjust from a leicestershire police but from neighbouring forces as well. they have done a

costs, that should worry us all. the premise of the new cabinet is that it is about low taxation, that stokes economic growth which we are yet to see is a reality since this is very much a theory at this point i'm not sure about you, but i am not particularly comfortable with an economic experiment happening in the face of rising costs. 50 economic experiment happening in the face of rising costs.— face of rising costs. so when you then break _ face of rising costs. so when you then break down _ face of rising costs. so when you then break down into _ face of rising costs. so when you then break down into the - face of rising costs. so when you then break down into the three l face of rising costs. so when you - then break down into the three camps of what is happening in a stagnating economy, isuppose of what is happening in a stagnating economy, i supposejoe biden tweeted and said he doesn't agree with the trickle down economics. that is where you sit?— trickle down economics. that is where you sit? trickle down economics. that is where ou sit? :, :, :, , where you sit? trickle down again is a theo . where you sit? trickle down again is a theory. economic _ where you sit? trickle down again is a theory. economic theory _ where you sit? trickle down again is a theory. economic theory is - where you sit? trickle down again is a theory. economic theory is only i a theory. economic theory is only popular when everybody can work out why growth is happening. 0ur popular when everybody can work out why growth is happening. our work on growth is all about analysing and awarding scores for companies that

are generally growing. we have found good companies all over the place, but it is not always the ones that show up. the reason this is a worry is that by borrowing at expensive rates, the government imperil other smes or businesses on their growth trajectories, and that is the opposite of what they are seeking to achieve. so it is very difficult to try to connect the kind of policy measures that we are hearing trailed with smes generally being able not just to grow but to survive the winter,. as we have said, there are 26,000 companies who are likely to become insolvent this year, and prior to the package for energy, a further 26,000 which might find themselves on the trajectory. and if we find ourselves analysing the really deep into the balance sheet of companies. after the pandemic, companies that it's like a lot of companies that it's like a lot of companies hollowed out and don't have the kind of assets to whether these kinds of storms. 0n government borrowing in the bond markets serves to make borrowing more expensive for

i had somebody turn up outside radio 2 and try and follow me home and stuff. that was a picnic compared to this. cos what happened in this case is that you're fired on from all directions. every time you open your phone, he's there. every time you turn on your computer, he's there. and you know that what he's doing is he's adjusting or despoiling your digital self. now, you may say, "well, that doesn't matter, you just come offline." but the fact is that, you know, we live 70, 80, 90 years, but our digital presence goes on forever, and you can see yourself being dismantled. and you can't see it ending. the judge actually said, when he sentenced belfield, "you didn't meet or physically approach or watch any of your victims as a traditional stalker might have done. your methods were, however, just as effective as a way of intimidating your victims and were, in many ways, much harder to deal with." the danger came from the online traffic, not from the individual. i would have done anything to meet this guy and have a conversation with him face—to—face. he wouldn't have been threatening —

he was probably a coward. but what he wanted to do was create so much hatred against me that someone acted by proxy. i'm absolutely certain that he knows, with 400,000 people watching those videos, that at some point someone is going to take a knife or acid to my home. or the other thing is he gets one of his victims to take their own life. we heard about someone trying exactly that in the court case — one of the victims. two of them described themselves as becoming suicidal. that is not to be taken lightly. i think if the courts hadn't stopped alex belfield, somebody would have died. were you are afraid of him? i was afraid of what he could do to my family. i was afraid because... you have to think around corners with this stuff. and, you know, we've seen knife attacks on mps, mps being killed, people who are prominent being attacked, so i'm not trying to give myself undue status here, but i have to think this through.

so i can see this youtube channel is an absolute fountain of hate. he wants that hatred to be so great that someone pays me a visit. and i know he wanted that because he put my home address out. so i had to take it seriously. i've got two teenage daughters... you know, i can't be casual about it. so at that point i was scared for them. how would you describe this experience? what words would you use? i felt broken over it. i tried to stay away from it, but people would say, "oh, i saw this thing." and then, of course, his followers would come at me so i'd be blocking like crazy. and again, you know, looking for followers to block and. . .that�*s just not healthy. i think itjust took me into a really unhealthy space. in a way, it took me into his...weird brain. you know, he pulls people into this dark orbit that he's in. how have youtube and twitter behaved during all of this? i'm amazed at how hard it is to get them to realise.

so we went to youtube and said, "come on!" you know, "what's going on with this guy? you can't allow him tojust defame..." then we say, "ok, there's a libel action now, based on that video, that video, that video. they still won't take them down! eventually, we have to go through a lawyer. they take down individual videos. and then when he's convicted, they demonetise him. but half the videos about me are still up there. his technique was to say "copy and share". so you'll have someone who takes his video in moscow and hosts it, and it'll always be out there. i've got to live with that. but the fact that youtube hosts this stuff, they have no responsibility. they don't care. they don't give a toss, they don't give a toss. sorry for my language, but i am disgusted by their lack of values. and twitter, as well. you know, the guy still... he's in prison, and he's still got a twitter account. what the hell is that about?! mm. i don't understand it. with somebody like belfield, the flagging of those broadcasts was continuous, constant — notjust by the victims, by other people who are friends of the victims. one person went into the youtube

hq and asked reception if they could do anything about it! so it's not a mystery to them which are the problem accounts, and theyjust need to take them down. you know, belfield has already put out a video from prison saying he's going to be right back up and running. he's got restraining orders now in eight people's cases, but he'll start on other people. and i do think, you know, the one thing you can do is deprive people of their platform. thank you very much for talking to us. jeremy vine talking to victoria derbyshire. a spokesperson for youtube said that belfield's channel remains suspended and several videos have been removed for violating its creator responsibility policy and community guidelines. twitter declined to comment. you can watch the full interview withjeremy vine on newsnight, tonight on bbc two at 10.30pm, and also on iplayer.

hello again. today's weather is very similar to yesterday's in that we're looking at a lot of dry condit yesterday's ions, favorable amounts of clouds or some bright spells or some sunshine with a chance of a shower across southern scotland, northern england and parts of wales. we could catch the shower across northern england and parts of wales, but most of us will miss them. through this evening and overnight if anything this rain turns a bit heavier, gusty winds around it ahead of it, we are looking at clear skies and light winds, so some of us will see mist and fog patches form. most of us it will be another mild night. that is how we start the day tomorrow, and a mild note. with a weather front continuing to push eventually out of scotland and northern ireland and head further south. mastery winds around it drop in behind it and we will see a return to sunshine and showers. and cloud continues to build as this

weather front slips southwards. it should stay mostly dry across the far south and south—east of england. 0ne far south and south—east of england. one or two showers feeding into scotland and northern ireland but brightening up and temperatures coming down with fresher conditions following behind that weather front in the north. still comparatively mild in the south. from thursday to friday, a weather front continue to sink south and develops what we call a wave which means this may not be the final resting place for this rain. it might be a bit further north orfurther south. rain. it might be a bit further north or further south. but it is coming south through the course of the day and will get into the channel islands. behind it, a of dry weather, one or two showers, a change in the wind direction to a north—westerly and you can see how the cooler conditions filter that bit further south. we will still have the dregs of that front in the southern areas during the course of saturday morning, still potentially affecting southern england as well as the channel islands but high—pressure building behind it. you can see how the milder air on

friday, represented by the ambers, is eventually pushed away on saturday as the cooler yellow is moving. cooler conditions on saturday and are more of a northerly component to our wind. the rain eventually moving away from southern england that are lingering across the channel islands for much of the day. temperatures ranging from 13 in the north to about 18 in the south.

unlike domestic customers, businesses don't currently have an energy price cap. the energy bill relief scheme will see wholesale electricity prices limited to 21.1 pence per kilo watt hour, compared to a current rate of around 28 pence. gas will be capped at 7.5 pence per kilo watt hour, compared to average prices now of 11 pence per unit. the changes will apply from the 1st of october and also cover fixed contracts taken out since april hospitals, schools and places like community halls and churches will also benefit. the scheme will last for six months, but with an option to extend it for 'vulnerable businesses' — although it's not clear which sectors would be included. the government says bills could be cut in half, as the supported energy price will be "less than half the wholesale prices anticipated this winter" speaking in new york yesterday,

the prime minister said it's important to give firms some security through the winter months. well, we know that businesses are very concerned about the level of their energy bills. that is why we are putting in place a scheme for business that will be equivalent to this scheme for households, to make sure that businesses are able to get through the winter. we are going to review it after six months. we will make sure that the most vulnerable businesses, like pubs, like shops, continue to be supported after that. we will be announcing the scheme on wednesday. what i can say is that the scheme will apply from the 1st of october, to make sure businesses have that security through the winter. our economics correspondent explained the government's move — and some of the reaction to it yes, this is the intention from the government, to make sure this is passed onto businesses. because that is what is crucial at this point. businesses feel the effect of this. in terms of some of the reaction

we have already heard, that is something a lot of business groups are concerned to make sure that happens, it happens relatively quickly. they say some businesses are right on the edge already. in terms of how this is going to affect businesses, what the government has spelt out is essentially a cap which is going to be half the anticipated wholesale prices this winter. that is likely to be higher than the bills that people are already paying, because it is over the course of the winter on the anticipated price. that's quite a difficult one for the government to be able to assess. gas and electricity prices have been fairly volatile, and the government have had a large amount of advice being fed into that, to understand where they are expecting energy prices to go in the course of the next few months. one of the points that we have been raising and we still have more questions about is how this translates through to businesses, because things like standing charges not being capped under this particular scheme. this is about the actual cost of the electricity and gas.

businesses will be working out how this is going to affect them, and the prices that they are going to be paying. jacob rees—mogg has been outlining more details of the new scheme. lute more details of the new scheme. we have more details of the new scheme. l have announced the nondomestic support package, which means the wholesale price for electricity will be £211 per megawatt and four gas will be £75 per megawatt. from that customers will then get their prices. it is providing for the nondomestic market which includes schools and hospitals, charities and businesses, something that is equivalent to the support for the domestic sector. it is more corrugated, because there is no price cap for the nondomestic sector, but it will have an equivalent effect. it is a huge support for business to ensure they can cope with the rise in the price of energy that has come, essentially

three months' time, which will allow us to see we are giving support in the right places and we can ensure that continued support, if that is necessary, is directed at where it needs to go. so it's essentially recognising there is urgent problem now, that needs a big package, a broad scheme, but because people have hedges and long—term contracts, it will be possible to do a fuller analysis of the market, to understand where support is most needed it during the six—month period. needed it during the six-month eriod. �* , needed it during the six-month eriod. , , :, needed it during the six-month eriod. , , period. because companies need a bit of stability in — period. because companies need a bit of stability in order _ period. because companies need a bit of stability in order to _ period. because companies need a bit of stability in order to plan _ period. because companies need a bit of stability in order to plan and i period. because companies need a bit of stability in order to plan and to i of stability in order to plan and to invest which is what you want them to do, they are wondering what will happen after six months. can you give any indication of how you will determine who should get help after that six—month? take is one example, if gas prices are as high as they are today, could a school expect support in a year's time. ? most

schools are _ support in a year's time. ? most schools are funded _ support in a year's time. ? most schools are funded by _ support in a year's time. ? most schools are funded by the i support in a year's time. ? tj'lfrst schools are funded by the taxpayer anyway. money from central government, the state system. we are obviously... we are going to have to support, what we are announcing today, the state sector as well as the private sector. this is a fundamentally costs across the economy. schools and hospitals and care homes are obviously going to be able to need to afford their energy in a year's time as well as today. i cannot announce future schemes, it would be wrong to do so, we need to make sure that we use this time to find out where the support is needed. but can businesses and public sector bodies afford the level of increase that there has been? by and large no. that is where the scheme has been announced now. t the scheme has been announced now. i have been speaking to the shadow

be things returning to fracking and in the wrong direction. i welcome that we have finally got the news we have been hoping for, but there are real questions that need answering and i am frustrated government is not opened up its up to scrutiny. i will be trying to get those answers when i can when the parliament is able to get them. what i do make an interesting point when you talk about your concerns that energy traders might make the most of this as the government picking up the tab and energy process going up as a result because it will make a difference to the market. the market won'tjust difference to the market. the market won't just like the difference to the market. the market won'tjust like the users and i can change the habit full demo because i prices how would you envisage that bein: prices how would you envisage that being controlled? you _ prices how would you envisage that being controlled? you are - prices how would you envisage that being controlled? you are right. i prices how would you envisage that | being controlled? you are right. my concern is that _ being controlled? you are right. my concern is that the _ being controlled? you are right. my concern is that the government i being controlled? you are right. my concern is that the government has l concern is that the government has been very visceral in its opposition to a windfall tax and yet the profits from energy producers come from the results of russian aggression in ukraine. it is legitimate to take that unexpected win full value to do so. having

ruled out that out, what conference do a confidence can we have in them taking the right approach in protecting the taxpayer in a mark—up they are now changing the terms of, i am understanding they will fix the unit price people will pay but they will still have to buy energy and subsidise that cost and jacob rees—mogg couldn't tell us what the cost would be because of the variability. how are they going to ensure good value for the taxpayer? people to be ensure good value for the taxpayer? people to he cannot pay the costs we are seeing. the question is whether the buddha, side is the government —— who studies the government on? this is after a week of announcement, expenditure from the government, we don't know what the cost of this support to businesses is. it could run into the tens of billions, support for domestic energy support, hundred

billions, support for domestic energy support, hundred and billions, support for domestic energy support, hundred and 50 billion, then tax cuts on top of that, the government says this is all part of a strategy for growth, what is your response to that? t what is your response to that? i agree with one bit of their what is your response to that? t agree with one bit of their analysis which is that they country hasn't grown as a judge for the past 12 years and they do need to do better. that is essential to everyone's living standards. what concerns and greatly as anything they have announced, we can pretty certainly say will not produce the outcomes that they are intending for. not going out with rise to corporation tax, increasing business and red vestments, george osborne tried it initially, we are hearing that you can cut taxes, increase spending, so now that will pay for itself because you are going to take away people's employment rights or environmental protections that will some assimilate the economy. this simply isn't right. joe biden is right, liz truss is wrong when it comes to the analysis of the economy. i am greatly concerned, notjust by the fairness, the equity what they have announced so far, but what it will mean for the long—term

sustainability of public finances. most of all for the fact it will not make the he go. whether people think... lifting the cap on bankers, is immaterial to businesses. you need to address business rates. thank you — need to address business rates. thank you very much we have to say goodbye to you. thank you to jonathan reynolds there as well. let's go to joining me now is go to tom filer the association of indoor play. he also owns and operates indoor play centres in somerset. what is the situation with your business and in terms of energy costs before the government announcement?— announcement? before the announcement _ announcement? before the announcement we - announcement? before the announcement we were i announcement? before the announcement we were in l announcement? before the | announcement we were in a announcement? before the _ announcement we were in a fortunate position where we were hedged until

2024 that is not the position that most of our members found themselves in. we represent an industry that has over 1100 businesses. a thought an increasing the amount they would be proposed new contracts, which for most of our members meant closing doors, theyjust don't have the profit margins to be able to do that. today's announcement is incredibly welcome, we just feel we need more guidance now on the period post the six month end date. it coincides in about six months' time with the end to the support for business rates are currently they are 50% relief on business rates, and also coincides with the business rates revaluation when they are elected to go up at that period in time. there is a double whammy heading our way at the end of this six month period without any further clarity. there's been an announcement around vulnerable

sectors but what those venerable sectors but what those venerable sectors are, we urgently need to know which sectors are going to be receiving further support at the end of that period and which of the sectors are not.— of that period and which of the sectors are not. you said some of the businesses _ sectors are not. you said some of the businesses that _ sectors are not. you said some of the businesses that you _ sectors are not. you said some of| the businesses that you represent were facing the prospect of closing their doors because of the cost of energy, have any actually done that or has that been in the pipeline and now may change?— or has that been in the pipeline and now may change? unfortunately some have. we now may change? unfortunately some have- we are — now may change? unfortunately some have- we are in _ now may change? unfortunately some have. we are in a _ now may change? unfortunately some have. we are in a position _ now may change? unfortunately some have. we are in a position where i have. we are in a position where over covid businesses needed to take on debts, reserves had been depleted and so businesses are in a perilous situation. over the summer holidays about 20% down year on year. the situation the leisure industry finds itself in is really and in dumb perilous one. this support today isn't readily welcome in helping businesses to just stave off closing the doors for the six months. you mentioned _ the doors for the six months. you

mentioned that _ the doors for the six months. you mentioned that some of the businesses were facing a ten times increase in their energy costs. the cap we had today will obviously mitigate increases like that, but have you been able to work out what it might mean for businesses at the west end of the scale on this? absolutely. they are going to see a much more significant amount of support because the price is capped. for those businesses this is an incredible piece of news for them. i think what we're also seeing from energy companies is that there was slight withdrawal from leisure industry and additional deposits or some supplies werejust industry and additional deposits or some supplies were just not quoting. what we have seen is not only was it ten times more expensive butjust finding a supplier to quote was becoming an issue for businesses. thank you forjoining us. catch up

with the sport. the former world number one, roger federer overachieved during his career, that is according to the 2010 slam champion himself. the swiss who also spent a record 237 weeks as world number one decided to retire after he stopped believing he could continue following knee problems. roger federer will play one last match at the labour cup later this week before officially hanging up his rackets. he has effected on his achievements in an exclusive interview with bbc breakfast. he said his proudest moments included being part of the history making golden era with rafael nadal. novak djokovic, and andy murray. tt was djokovic, and andy murray. it was definitely special, _ djokovic, and andy murray. it was definitely special, in _ djokovic, and andy murray. it was definitely special, in many - djokovic, and andy murray. it was definitely special, in many ways i definitely special, in many ways because when i came up, we didn't expect it either. we were more on a bit of a downslope of people

retiring, what will come next, and here i came, and then he came rafa nadal and then andy murray, all of a sudden there was this beautiful mix of we were winning for ten plus years, all of the same tournaments, almost nobody else could win anything else, it was like a lock on the big tournaments.— the big tournaments. england defender. _ the big tournaments. england defender, who _ the big tournaments. england defender, who had _ the big tournaments. england defender, who had just i the big tournaments. england defender, who had just been| the big tournaments. england - defender, who had just been recalled to the international squad for their upcoming nation's league matches, the last before the world cup begins, says fine abuse has becomes so bad that he doesn't want his family attending the matches. he has called the issue a real problem, saying his mum hasn't attended a way fixtures for several years. the tottenham defender received a four match ban after confronting a fan in the stands a couple of seasons ago and revealed abuse was aimed at his brother when a spurs face chelsea away last month. chelsea have sacked commercial director damien willoughby after he said

inappropriate messages to a verbal finance agent who was involved in a bid to buy the club earlier in the year. willoughby who had previously worked at the club are between 2007 and 2010, before going on to spend time with manchester city and ea sports, sends the messages to catalina kim before he was re—employed by chelsea earlier this month. the spokesperson for the stamford bridge club confirmed his contract had been terminated with immediate effect. it's been confirmed that england's women wolf play a home ashes test against australia over five days for the first time in 2023. previous tests have been held overfour days but trent bridge will host next years match from the 22nd to the 20 3rd of june. it will be the first in history, the previous occasion being 30 years ago when australia hosted england in 1992. england captain heather knight says next year's test will be a fair special moment for the team. that is all of the sport

are now. i will be back at 1:30pm. the defence secretary, ben wallace, has said president putin's decision to escalate the war in ukraine is an admission that his invasion is failing. in a television address, president putin said the west wanted the end of russia just as it had brought the soviet union to an end. it comes a day after russian— occupied territories in ukraine announced votes on joining russia. that mobilization — the first since world war ii — is aimed at those with previous military experience — and begins today. 300,000 reservists will also be called up to reinforce the russian military in ukraine. mr putin also said that he would support independence in areas of eastern ukraine currently controlled by russia backed separatists. here's some of what president putin said in his address on russian television. translation: | repeat, | we are talking of a partial mobilisation only. only people in the military

reserve will be drafted. the priority will be on people who served in the armed forces, who have military specialisation and experience. those drafted before being sent to the places of service will have mandatory additional training, relying on experience gained during the special military operation. the decree on partial mobilisation has been signed. the russian president also issued this blunt warning: |translation: i want to remind those | who allow themselves such statements about russia that our country also has a variety of weapons of destruction. and if the territorial integrity of our country is threatened, we will without question use all of the means at our disposal to protect russia and our people. this is not a bluff.

let's go to the city of bologna. welcome. thank you forjoining us. what is your reaction to the statements from vladimir putin? tt’s statements from vladimir putin? it's a statements from vladimir putin? tt�*s a terrible statement and terrible news for many russians for whom this war was something fairly distant until now when they have to actually go and serve and die in the name of his imperialist ideas. that is of course will cause considerable consternation and has already caused panic in some sections of russians. we know tickets, for example, sold out for flights leaving russia because presumably people of military age will not necessarily want to join military age will not necessarily want tojoin and military age will not necessarily want to join and there are no new laws that have been passed that make dodging this draft punishable by ten years in prison. pare dodging this draft punishable by ten years in prison-—

not to stir too much trouble inside russia itself. what you speak about concerns of not stirring discontent in moscow, dude detect there is any real sense of a threat to vladimir putin's position? i think there is a threat to the regime. the regime is afraid of domestic dissent and that is why they have passed laws that make it punishable with prison sentences to speak up against the war, to speak up against the regime. of war, to speak up against the regime. of course, russia is not a democracy, russia is an autocracy, it is a tyranny, and tyrants are afraid of dissatisfaction. some of dan i have _ afraid of dissatisfaction. some of dan i have talked _ afraid of dissatisfaction. some of dan i have talked about - afraid of dissatisfaction. some of dan i have talked about the i dan i have talked about the possibility of an uprising from within those closest to vladimir putin, is that something that you think is a credible possibility? t think is a credible possibility? t

think we have two he think is a credible possibility? t think we have two be careful with assessments on the score, we cannot build our policy on the promise that russia will have a clue, or a palace coup, any time soon. it has to be said, here i am speaking as an historian of russia, that in the last several decades, starting from stalin's death, there have been attempts at a coup but only one real succeeded in 1964. there are a truly difficult to organise, it is important at the military and the security services involved in the coup to disrupt the ruler. i cannot say whether this is where things are going at this stage. what how seriously do you take the threat of using nuclear weapons? putin said in his address that this is not a bluff which is a sign it is a form of bluff. but we have to be very cautious, we have to be very careful and take this problem very seriously. russia is a major military power. what is disturbing

in this particular address is that he said that violations of russian territory and integrity, which after this referendum which will presumably include pieces of eastern ukraine, could result in russia using nuclear weapons. that is a very deft downright dangerous idea. we also know the ukrainian forces have already targeted installations inside russia itself and that has not caused a nuclear war. i think we can understand that he is walking a very thin line and hoping not to follow. : ~ very thin line and hoping not to follow. :, ~' , :, , very thin line and hoping not to follow. :, ~ , :, , : very thin line and hoping not to follow. : ~ , :, , : :, follow. thank you very much for 'oinin: follow. thank you very much for joining us- _ time for a look at the weather. today because i weather is very similar to yesterday's, looking at dry conditions, some sunshine, and a chance of a shower across southern scotland, northern england and parts of wales. most of us will mist them. however we do have some rain as the

north and west of scotland and the wind will be strengthening here throughout the course of the afternoon with temperatures widely 14 to 21 1 afternoon with temperatures widely 14 to 211 degrees. through this evening and overnight, things turn heavier as it moves across scotland and northern ireland. windy conditions around it. to the south under clear skies and light winds, we will see some mist and fog patches forming again it will be a mild night, more or less, across the board. tomorrow a band of rain slowly edges southwards and in doing so the cloud will build ahead of its, behind it you will find return to sunshine and a few showers. winds easing and our top temperature getting up to 22 degrees —— 20 degrees. hello this is bbc news. the headlines... the government has announced plans to introduce a cap on wholesale energy bills for businesses from the first of october. it is providing for the non—domestic market, which includes schools and hospitals,

charities and businesses. something that is equivalent to the support for the domestic sector. vladimir putin calls up hundreds of thousands of reservists for the war in ukraine. the russian president warns he 'will use all the means russia has', and that his words are not a bluff. in new york, world leaders are gathering for the meeting of the united nations general assembly. we'll have live coverage. a man sentenced for carrying a knife at a protest in leicester at the weekend has said he was influenced by social media. the bbc obtains new material relating to the death of footballer emiliano sala. the pilot of the plane which crashed said the aircraft was "dodgy" before it took off. to iran now, where three people have died in protests which have followed the death in custody of a woman who was arrested by

the morality police. the authorities say the woman, mahsa amini, died of natural causes, but her family says she was attacked by the police. bbc persian's rana rahimpour has this report. a warning, you may find some of the images distressing cheering women in iran set their headscarves on fire in fury. they are tired of the morality police beating them up and the islamic republic leaders who police their every move. their protest is sparked by the death of this woman. her name is mahsa amini and she was just 22. she was arrested by the morality police in iran earlier this month. they said she wasn't wearing the mandatory hijab or headscarf properly. the security forces have released their cctv footage of mahsa in detention. it is heavily edited. suddenly, mahsa collapses.

the authorities say she had a heart condition, but eyewitnesses say she was beaten up in the police van. she is taken to hospital and ends up in a coma. a few days later, she is dead. women cry "death to the dictator" and wave their headscarves at her funeral. the inscription on her gravestone reads that she is not dead, her name will become a symbol and live forever. mahsa was kurdish, but protests are spreading across iran. a woman stands calmly in front of a water cannon until it has to reverse. and here, a police motorbike is set on fire. the woman filming shouts, "look, we have got nothing but we made them run away." as mashsa's family predicted, her name has already become a symbol. a symbol of resistance.

lastly, bbc sport found the west website included a direct link to vet on a colouring page which featured a picture of a teddy bear. we go to the strategy director of a charity set up called gambling with lives for charity is by suicide. the gambling commission said the regulator had no reason to believe that the betway was deliberately targeting the children's section of the website, nonetheless it was a very serious breach and therefore that has been fined £400,000. using that has been fined £400,000. using that as a sufficient response? t

don't think that is a sufficient response. it seems like groundhog day. we know another gambling company which has broken it social responsibility and has been fined by the gambling commission. in this instance, betway were fined a couple of years ago and clearly didn't clean up their act. it is important to remember the story that there were eight other gambling operators known to our clubs up to the same tricks, aiming to get young people. the issue we have is that when you consider that the gambling industry's business model is based upon its profits being based on 5% of its customers, and again we have to play is constantly increase their customer base because they bankrupt their customers. this is an example of betway... t their customers. this is an example of betway- - -— of betway. .. i 'ust want to come in there because— of betway. .. i just want to come in there because what _ of betway. .. i just want to come in there because what you _ of betway. .. i just want to come in there because what you are i of betway. .. i just want to come in \ there because what you are talking about is you are alleging deliberate targeting of young people in a

broader sense. the gambling commission said very clearly that it did not believe that children were deliberately targeted. and ijust want to bring in also a statement from betway saying, "as a responsible licensed operator, betway has a zero tolerance with marketing to under—18s. as one of the first betting operators to remove our branding from under—18s' kit and supportive merchandise, we sup feel very strongly about our responsibility in this area. on this occasion, the betway logo, owing to a technical error, appeared on a restricted section of the west ham united website. as soon as we were made aware of this error, we took immediate action to get it removed. nonetheless, we accept the fine and will continue to work closely with the club to ensure this does not happen again. that is not a company thatis happen again. that is not a company that is saying it thinks what it did was ok for what happened was ok. i think it is worth remembering that

we have already 13 million are displaced or refugees, more than half of whom are inside ukraine. this is what i foresee, an escalation of conflict equals more internal displacement. at a time when we are about to face winter. the ukrainian winter is one of the harshest in the world. and we are struggling already to prepare the existing affected population for the winter period. 50 the task will multiply and become extremely challenging. just multiply and become extremely challenging-— multiply and become extremely challenauin. , , ., challenging. just tell us about the winter in ukraine _ challenging. just tell us about the winter in ukraine and _ challenging. just tell us about the winter in ukraine and how- challenging. just tell us about the winter in ukraine and how harsh l challenging. just tell us about the j winter in ukraine and how harsh it is and what that will actually mean for the living conditions for people, many of whom are in bombed out buildings. people, many of whom are in bombed out buildings-— out buildings. exactly, many of whom have no building _ out buildings. exactly, many of whom have no building at _ out buildings. exactly, many of whom have no building at all— out buildings. exactly, many of whom have no building at all any _ out buildings. exactly, many of whom have no building at all any more. - out buildings. exactly, many of whom have no building at all any more. wel have no building at all any more. we are working well with the government of ukraine to try to fix empty buildings, to try to help families

the elderly people, the old people. often left behind because they can't travel, often in areas like i have seenin travel, often in areas like i have seen in bucha which were destroyed, it was heartbreaking. and they also need protection and support. you are here at the un _ need protection and support. you are here at the un general— need protection and support. you are here at the un general assembly - need protection and support. you are| here at the un general assembly this week, you must be wanting governments to give you more money to the unhcr so you can deal with refugees, notjust in ukraine and around the world. unfortunately, the ukraine crisis _ around the world. unfortunately, the ukraine crisis has _ around the world. unfortunately, the ukraine crisis has absorbed - around the world. unfortunately, the ukraine crisis has absorbed so - around the world. unfortunately, the ukraine crisis has absorbed so much| ukraine crisis has absorbed so much resources and energy, because it is notjust money, the refugee crisis needs the political attention and engagement to solve the underlying causes, usually conflict and war so that people can go back to their homes orfind that people can go back to their homes or find otherwise solutions. all of this has been distracted by the crisis in ukraine. my message here is everyone here talks about

hunger, about war, about climate, about the crisis in education, the threat across all of these challenges is forced displacement. un high commissionerfor refugees, thank you forjoining us. there you have it, if there is an escalation of the conflict in ukraine, it will worsen an already dreadful situation for ukraine's refugees and potentially take away resources from other displaced people from syria to the horn of africa. here at the united nations, we will hear more on russia today. president biden speaks this morning, president zelensky speak this afternoon and britain's prime minister liz truss will make her debut of the leader of britain in the world stage at the un tonight. now back to you. thank you, laura. the headlines on bbc news... the government has announced plans to introduce a cap on wholesale energy bills for businesses from the first of october. vladimir putin calls up hundreds of thousands of reservists for the war in ukraine. the russian president warns he 'will

use all the means russia has', and that his words are not a bluff. the bbc obtains new material relating to the death of footballer emiliano sala. the pilot of the plane which crashed said the aircraft was "dodgy" before it took off. a man sentenced for carrying a knife at a protest in leicester at the weekend said he was influenced by social media. adam yusuf, 21, received a suspended jail sentence in court yesterday after admitting possessing a knife at a march on sunday. the protest followed unrest on saturday in which 25 officers and a police dog were injured. it came amid tensions involving mainly young men from sections of the muslim and hindu communities. the bbc�*s trending reporter reha kansara explains what she has found out about the complex situation related to the disorder in leicester.

what we are seeing in leicester is something very complex, people talk about the tensions that we are seeing there which are unfolding. it has been brewing for some months now and is not clear how it started. we are trying to understand what led to these events, a lot on social media. there is a lot to verify, but i have been speaking to many people, south asians who say that it is a cricket match in august which sparked these tensions. some say this narrative is way too simplistic and that one of the causes of these rising tensions was an alleged attack on a muslim man by a large group of south asian men which happened in may. there has not been much media reporting on this, and video which has circulated online depicting this is unclear. so we are not sure when or how this started, but one thing is certain — that tensions have been brewing for some months now. i spoke to the police and crime commissionerfor i spoke to the police and crime commissioner for leicester, leicestershire and rutland, rupert matthews, who is appealing for calm and praises the effort and bravery

of local officers. he emphasised that this is not what leicester is about. the message i would like to get out there is there is absolutely no excuse for the sort of disgraceful scenes that took place in leicester over the weekend. as you have mentioned, there were large numbers of young men out on the streets engaging in violence, smashing property, attacking police officers, and we are writing get well cards for those officers who have been injured. that is criminal activity, it is absolutely unacceptable, and it is myjob to make sure that the chief constable has got the resources and the office of power that he needs to deal with it. there have been people who have been sitting terrified in their own homes worried about their businesses, if they will have somewhere to go to work the following morning. mob violence on the street is absolutely

unacceptable, people have to take responsibility for what they do. if you go on the streets looking for trouble, you are putting yourself on the wrong side of a line, and the police will be reacting accordingly. and obviously a very strong message that you are putting out there about what the police will do. how important is the part, in your view, of community leaders? and the role they play? it is very important. community leaders play a huge role in relationships between the communities but also the atmosphere within their own community. you mentioned about social media, we know absolutely for a fact that some of the claims that are being made on social media are completely and utterly false. some of the more emotive allegations are simply not true. community leaders can play a huge role in defusing tension within their communities but also defusing tension between communities. that will all help to keep people at home, to stop violence breaking out.

and really we need people to stay at home and not go out causing trouble. they might think they are going out to help, they might think they are doing something constructive — they are just making the situation worse. and the community leaders can do a huge amount to help get that message across. in 2019, the argentinian footballer emiliano sala was killed in a plane crash as he was travelling from nantes to cardiff to begin his career in the premier league. his body was found in the plane's wreckage at the bottom of the english channel. the pilot, david ibbotson, was also killed. and in audio given to the bbc, we can hear first—hand the concerns he had about the safety of the aircraft they flew in. kayley thomas has this exclusive report. this is the last time emiliano sala and david ibbotson were seen alive. for the first time, we can show you cctv footage from january 21st 2019, as the footballer and pilot go through airport security.

these were final checks before the striker flew from nantes to wales to become a premier league player at cardiff city. earlier, david ibbotson is seen on the runway, preparing the plane ahead of the flight. everything was going to plan, and he sent this video to a pilot friend. but in a phone call to the same friend — the recording of which has been obtained by the bbc — david ibbotson raised concerns about the plane. that's quite a bombshell of a tape to actually hear it

in david ibbotson's own words, and to hear that he was concerned about the flight 24 hours earlier. i'd consider that absolutely explosive, frankly. i mean, a pilot has ultimate responsibility for the safety of the individual flight. and i think david ibbotson, knowing what he knew, could easily have decided that the flight wasn't safe. david ibbotson should never have taken the job to fly emiliano sala, as he wasn't a commercial pilot and couldn't legally fly at night. his concerns about the plane were echoed by his passenger. emiliano often came to this small house on the outskirts of nantes to see his friend and mentor marie—jeanne. he described the plane as a cuckoo to her — french slang for a rickety old plane.

emiliano sent this last voice message to his friends from inside the plane. the aircraft starts taxiing towards runway three. it's scheduled to land in cardiff just two hours later. it never arrived.

the depths of the english channel, the plane's final resting place. for the first time, we can show you moving pictures of the wreckage in a tragedy that touched a number of lives. as investigations and court proceedings continue, and as two families mourn the loss of loved ones, we now have more insight into what happened in the hours before that fateful flight. kayley thomas, bbc news, in cardiff. one of the biggest events in hollywood is making

a return next year — the golden globes. for decades it was a precursor to the oscars and kicked off the annual film award season. but last year it was dropped by its broadcaster nbc, the chief reason being a lack of diversity among its judges. dozens of new people have since been admitted to the hollywood foreign press association, which chooses the winners. our north america correspondent, peter bowes, has been following the story in los angeles. this has been a huge controversy in hollywood for the last couple of years after an expose by the los angeles times when it was revealed that of the then 87 members of the hollywood foreign press association, none were black. an almost complete lack of racial diversity. and other issues as well with the way the organisation was run. the voters for the golden globes — a long—term practice of accepting gifts from the studios by the voters for the golden globes.

and that is one of the big changes — that will be banned in the future, and they have also brought in new voters. a more racially diverse group of people of 100 outside the organisation and 20 new members, six of whom are black. the question remaining — is this enough for hollywood? for many people in this town who boycotted the golden globes and indeed the entire organisation, the events they put on throughout the year, publicists did not want have anything to do with them. many celebrities also turned their backs on the hollywood foreign press association. clearly this is enough for nbc to put the show back on television at the beginning of next year, but i think the jury is still out as far as hollywood is concerned. many people here want the golden globes to go ahead, because it is the beginning of the award system, a traditional show and a precursor to the oscars when the actors get out there and talk

about projects and new movies, in the hope that perhaps it will garner attention and possibly votes for the oscars. everyone wants it to go ahead, providing it is not tainted by controversy. peter is reporting. now it's time for a look at the weather. for most of you, the looking fine it through the rest of the day—to—day with a variable cloud and some spells of however, we do have thickening cloud to our north—west in this cloud is associated with a latin weather fronts with freshening winds and eventually seeing reina spread into the north—west of scotland. today, it is a blight on a day for most of you with some sunny spells coming through the cloud. i think the best of the sunshine will be across parts of the sunshine will be across parts of southern wales, probably as well for parts of eastern scotland. for the western side of scotland, it is here but we are going to see the cloud continue to thicken with outbreaks of rain getting into the hebrides and also highlands as well.

you could actually reinvigorate and turn heavier for you could actually reinvigorate and turn heavierfor a you could actually reinvigorate and turn heavier for a time across parts of south—east england. a bright midday on friday was some sunny spells. again a fresh feel to the weather across north—western areas with temperatures still into the high teens to low 20s. through the weekend, we have that relatively mild air, next week a different story as we get these north—westerly winds bringing some cooler airfrom northern climes. through the weekend, variable cloud, some dry weather, some sunny spells, relatively mild but it turns a lot all of the uk as we head into the first part of next week.

energy bills for businesses will be cut by about half their predicted level, in a package of measures to try to help with soaring bills. the wholesale cost of energy will be capped for six months — business owners say the government had to act. every time we have these announcements there's a sense of huge relief that something is going to happen. but the fact is, something had to happen. if it didn't happen, businesses across the entire country would have failed. we'll be finding out how much the scheme will cost and what might happen after the winter. also this lunchtime: president putin says hundreds of thousands of military reservists will be sent to ukraine — in a partial mobilisation of russian forces. more than half of england's

maternity units don't consistently meet safety standards — and some pose a risk
