good morning. welcome to breakfast, with ben thompson and victoria fritz. our headlines today: labour sets out plans to make uk's electricity network carbon—free by 2030, as the party's annual conference gets underway in liverpool. a british man captured by russian forces in ukraine and kept in solitary confinement for five months speaks for the first time about his ordeal. houses have been washed into the sea and hundreds of thousands of people in my cell, it was a two man cell, but it was for four people, because we had to sleep on the same bed, on

amount that infested with lice. —— on a mat. houses have been washed into the sea and hundreds of thousands of people left without power as a storm lashes eastern canada. good morning. in sport, history for st helens, as they went on record fourth super lee grant final. —— super league grand final. they beat leeds rhinos by 24—12 at old trafford. a chilly start to sunday morning, but the england and wales they should be lots of sunshine today is largely derived. a bit more of a breeze, which will strengthen as we go through the afternoon, with some outbreaks of rain further north. all the details coming up shortly. it's sunday, the 25th of september. our main story: labour has set out plans to make the uk the first major economy in the world to generate all of its electricity without using fossil fuels. it's the first full day of the party's conference, and leader sir keir starmer will argue that their plan would cut energy bills for good, help tackle the climate crisis

and create hundreds of thousands of jobs. our political correspondent ione wells reports from liverpool. a fairer, greener afairer, greenerfuture. a fairer, greenerfuture. that is the message labour wants to sell here in liverpool. but what does that look like in practice? the party says if it was in power, it would make the uk's collector city system carbon free by 2030. —— electricity system. five years earlier than what the government has pledged. applause. the labour leader will announce they would achieve this by quadrupling our supply of offshore wind, tripling solar power and doubling onshore wind. also expanding nuclear, hydrogen and tidal power. the government has also announced its intention to ramp up nuclear and renewable energy, but sources close to the labour leader think they can put clear blue water

between them and the tories by putting green energyjobs front between them and the tories by putting green energy jobs front and centre of their plans to grow the economy. the conservatives have said they will do this by cutting taxes, but they will also wrapup uk oil and gas production by ending the ban on fracking. is the big picture from the labour leadership, but others here are pushing for other policies too. striking workers here at liverpool docks are among those up and down the country calling for their pay to go up in line with inflation. that is not currently labour policy, nor a shadow minister supposed to appear on picket lines like this. today, delegates will vote on whether to put this policy to a vote among members here. it is something the left of the party, like allies of the former leader jeremy corbyn, support. keir starmer will be keen to argue his party is emerging from its own internal divisions, and is instead drawing a clear dividing line between labour and the tories. i only wells, bbc

way of the developing as we go through the afternoon and the winds will strengthen into the west of scotland. here we will see some scattered showers before a waterfront gradually moves its way into the north—west of the great glen, it will take its time in doing so, a bit slower in comparison to what we thought yesterday. a bit cooler here, top temperatures in the south around 18 or 19. a blustery wind will strengthen once that when starts to push in. it is that wind that will turn around to the north and drag in this cooler air we were talking about. but when the flood sinks south. it will bring welcome rain as it moves down towards southern england first thing on monday morning. so with the cloud and the wind around, not as chilly a start first thing on monday, that front eases away, but the how many isobars on the chart. that means the winds will be quite a feature, and yes, they are coming all the way down from the arctic, so it is cool that it will spell its way across the country, the coolest temperatures, the lowest temperatures, the lowest temperatures, perhaps across eastern england. as we go through the day on

monday, blustery day, sunny spells, scattered showers, some of those showers quite frequent on exposed north and west facing coast, and the gusts of winds, a0 perhaps 50 miles an hour into the far north and west at times. that will make temperatures feel a bit chillier, maybe in parts of eastern scotland where we will struggle to see those temperatures climbing into double figures. as we move into tuesday we keep be showers going, the winds will ease a touch, that means that if you do catch a shower it might well linger just that little if you do catch a shower it might well lingerjust that little bit longer. it will be a cooler day still, 11-1a longer. it will be a cooler day still, 11—1a quite widely. we might see 16 down across the south—west of south wales. this weather front slips steadily south, the isobars open, the winds feel lighter towards the end of the week, but the temperatures are going to take their time to recover, as you can see, cool and showery week ahead. back to

scotland a penalty, and that was a chance that ryan christie was not going to turn down. they held on for the victory that sends them top of the victory that sends them top of the group for now, needing just a the victory that sends them top of the g against now, needing just a the victory that sends them top of the g against ukraine eding just a the victory that sends them top of the g against ukraine on ng just a the victory that sends them top of the g against ukraine on tuesday to promotion. but while scotland see promotion. but while scotland are battling for promotion, over in see promotion. but while scotland are batt northern >motion, over in see promotion. but while scotland are batt northern ireland , over in see promotion. but while scotland are batt northern ireland werer in 222222222 22r222r22r22222—22l2r2—2 ~ 22 2— 222 — doubt fighting relegation. the doubt richie opened the scoring for kosovo. going into this matter, t2r22" had kosovo. going into this matter, t12r2212" had one in kosovo. going into this matter, 2221 nation's had one in kosovo. going into this matter, e22; nation's league. had one in kosovo. going into this matter, 222g nation's league. hi nations this is about to change with league. this is about to change with shane love resetting up gary wight level scoring before judge to level the scoring beforejudge mcguinness hero, i�*fié in injury time. 522155121 the “212i"; in; “922? 2.22 , , 27 . f ~~ isn't confirmed etehehiha the e'ih ih ihjerg tme , , l . f ~~ isn't confirmed yet etehehiha the e'ih ih ihje'e' tme , , l . f 2»? isn't confirmed yet though. safety isn't confirmed yet though. it will all down to a trip to it will all come down to a trip to greece. lydia campbell, bbc news. yesterday.

as she was backing up — this is the so—called mankad — giving them the win by 16 runs. it's within the laws of the game, but will no doubt leave a sour taste. there were four games in rugby union's premiership. leicester tigers enjoyed a 41—21 win at northampton. the champions came back, with george martin running in a bonus point winning try for tigers. elsewhere there were wins for bristol and saracens, plus a much needed victory for troubled worcester over newcastle. golf, now. the international team produced a fightback in the presidents cup in north carolina but they're still ii—7 behind going into the final day. it's a ryder cup—style format, with 15.5 points needed to secure overall victory. yesterday's foursomes were drawn 2—2 before the international team fought back to win the fourballs 3—1. cam davis holed this putt to win the final match. there are 12 singles matches later today there. it was a little less emotional

at the 02 in london — the day after roger federer played his last ever competitive match — but still plenty of other action in the laver cup. there was disappointment for team europe's cameron norrie yesterday though. the british number one lost in a match tie—break to taylor fritz of the world team. finally, mixed doubles usually involves a racquet, or maybe a bat — how about a cue? there's a new mixed doubles snooker tournament that is taking place in milton keynes this weekend featuring the world's top four women and men. last night, reanne evans and ronnie o'sullivan and took on neil robertson and nutcharut wongharuthai. reanne and ronnie won that one by three frames to one. that is good to see, good to see that format. that is good to see, good to see that format-— that is good to see, good to see that format. ., ., ~ ., that format. can we talk about the cricket again? _

as i check out the big air kitesurfing competition. oh my god, that was so good! i loved it. we are getting artsy in southern turkey for the mardin biennial. and tick, tick, boom — we go behind the scenes at boomtown during the countdown to the opening of this year's festival in the heart of the english countryside. it's all hands on deck! hello, and welcome to the travel show, coming to you this week from beautiful

tarifa, in southern spain. perched on the southernmost tip of continental europe, just 1a kilometres from north africa, tarifa is the gateway between these two continents. its position leaves the small spanish town open to a blasting from the winds that shape its rugged coastline. in this part of the world, there are two prevailing winds. one is the mellow, consistent poniente wind and the other one is this bad boy, the levante, which storms in from the east and batters this coastline, and when it does, all the best kitesurfers from around the world want to be right here. and yet while a windy beach break might not seem like your idea of a dream trip, it is for a mass influx

of kitesurfers that sees the population of this once sleepy town over triple in size during the windy summer months. and this year will be bigger than ever as the world's leading kitesurfers compete to fly the highest in the world's ever big air competition, hosted right here in tarifa. the winds here can reach up to 60 knots, with the athletes expertly manipulating it to fly over 30 metres high. i have headed over to the leaderboard to see how the competition is shaping up. so the best of the best kitesurfers in the world are competing here today? 60 competitors but they are divided in five divisions. we have 2a men and 12 women. it is an elimination system, so they are riding in groups of two or three riders at the same time and then the winner advances to the next round.

we will see in the end of the day who is going to ride for the final and take the crown. there is a reason why the wind is so consistently good here in tarifa. judging commentator lewis explains why. here is so special because it's so close to the north of africa, what happens with the geology of the land is these mountains push up, and you've got this strong wind that it comes in, you've got to think of an hourglass where the sand rushes through the middle, that's what happens here in both directions, eitherfrom the atlantic or the mediterranean, that is why so uniquely always windy and so strong. i think we are going to see something very special, later. now that the winds are getting stronger and the competition is really heating up, i want to know how the athletes are doing. lorenzo, congratulations! thanks a lot. looked incredible out there, what is it like out there? the wind is pumping, it's like 30 knots and we are flying really high. it's just an unreal feeling. when i'm doing my best tricks, ijust feel like superman on the water. it's like i've got

a superpower. it's great energy on the beach, the wind is super strong - and that is exactly- what we are looking for, so hopefully i continue to make it and ride in the final soon. i congratulations and good luck for the next stage. and yet the mediaeval town of tarifa and its surrounding beaches were not always home to this global influx of tourism. tarifa is a really bustling town, and that certainly wasn't always the case. in fact very few tourists came here because why would you want to sit on the beach with such a wind blowing all the time? but then in the 1980s, the world came to love tarifa's wind and everything changed. tell me about the first time you came to tarifa. i came through this entrance with my car full of boards and then we got stuck in one of these small street. in yourcar? stuck in a tiny street? it is absolutely tiny!

i have come to the old town to meet michel who, in 1982, left his hometown and chased the wind to wind up in tarifa, opening the town's first ever kitesurfing school. why were you coming to tarifa? i came just searching the wind. it was a paradise for windsurfing. wind every day, long beach, sandy beach, nobody. it is perfect for us. in fact, before kitesurfing came to tarifa, there was an exodus of locals leaving the town to find work. now, tarifenos can stay in their hometown thanks to the employment opportunities which this sport has brought with it. so at the end we are the ones that push this town up. you did a good job. yeah, we did a good job. sometimes you think it's better not to do it because then we'd have a perfect spot for us. now it's full of people. you gave the game away, now everyone knows! always when you think that one it's too late.

now i've seen the pros in action, i kind of think i should give it a go. can't be too hard, can it? it's going to be disastrous. i've met with tanja, owner of one of the 40, yes, that is 40, kitesurfing schools that line this coast. it is time to experience what this legendary wind feels like for myself. it's great! oh, oh! once we are in the water you will see that it will feel quite natural. i wouldn't bet on it, tanja. screams. how was it for you?

oh my god, that was so good! i loved it. you did really well. i loved it, it reallyjust felt like being a kid again. i couldn't come to tarifa without trying its most famous sport. but i think for now i will leave it to the professionals. now, if that has inspired you to go to a destination with plenty of sun, sea and kitesurfing, then these are the spots you should be thinking of visiting on your next trip. if you are new to the sport, one of the best locations to learn kitesurfing is dakhla in morocco. this flatwater lagoon surrounded by moroccan desert makes an ideal training ground. with consistent winds virtually all year round, and plenty of reasonably priced accommodation for the budding kitesurfer, then this is the perfect place to earn your stripes.

feeling like you've got to grips with kitesurfing and looking to build your confidence? then cumbuco in brazil could be for you. if you are looking for a fun and social experience, with smaller waves, then this is the setting to really hone those skills. and cabarete was once a fishing and farming hamlet on the north coast of the dominican republic but today it is considered by many to have one of the best kitesurfing scenes around. with so many of the sport's top contenders flocking to the beach, a phrase has been coined by the locals, "confetti skies", to describe the spectacle of so many people enjoying the best wind and waves the island has to offer. still to come on the travel show... it's boom time for boomtown. we go behind the scenes at the festival. we did really well out of scrap yards and car boot sales, as you can imagine!

and we hit the streets of mardin for the city's fifth biennial. it's in the middle of nowhere, but look! it's packed. so don't go away. welcome back to the programme. i am still in the tarifa area, and at baelo claudia, the roman ruins, and i am going to meet someone who is going to give me a really tasty insight into the ancient life of this area. manuel, hello. hello. so tell me, what do we have here? garum paste was the main export of baelo claudia, one of spain's best preserved archaeological sites, revered over 2,000 years for this fermented fish conserve, which both preserved and flavoured the food

of the time. so if you were an ancient roman person you would have been very happy to find this on your table? and now the best chefs of the area are bringing back this ancient treat for modern day audiences. it's just a very savoury — a deep, savoury flavour. i can see why the romans would have enjoyed to have this on their food, especially if it were boiled. just how important is this resurrection? how does it feel to you to be rediscovering these ancient tastes ?

strategically placed in south—eastern turkey, high above the routes connecting turkey to syria and iraq, is the ancient city of mardin.

due to its position, this place has lived under many different rules, from the babylonians to the persians, but we are here to check out how the mardin biennial looks to encapsulate these influences into new exciting works of art. here is a little bit of interesting info. the festival isn't centred in one place, rather it's spread about various culturally important sites around the town, so visitors are expected and encouraged to go and visit all of mardin. tonight, where we are going for the grand opening, is the german headquarters, which was used by the germans during world war i as part of their alliance with the ottoman empire. and so off to the opening night we go! part of the appeal of mardin is its hilltop location, meaning its buildings are built in a tiered system more commonly seen in the theatre or sports stadium. it may look pretty but you better pack your walking shoes. after upping my step count, i arrived at the intended destination.

and it's packed! i didn't think it would be, because it took ages to get here, it is in the middle of nowhere, but look! i'm not the world's number one expert on the arts, but i am willing to have my mind opened. there are so many little nooks and crannies full of art, you really have to go searching. anything in here? no! chuckles. a no for once. that's karl marx. what does this mean? look — come and look. that is karl marx, isn't it? ah, see, i did get it right — it is karl marx. but when i got talking to some of the artists, i started to understand what they were exhibiting and what it meant for the region but also, beyond that. right. what is this? what can you tell me about this exhibit?

so basically, this piece is called 0smoscape: echoes of the osmotic landscape. so, over the past years, i've been collecting data related to water and i've built a composition, a graphic notation score — a musical score. so i'm playing the sound and the sound correlates to the data that's being collated. and i'm manipulating it as well. a lot of the power companies are facing water crisis and they're not able to cool their systems down, so it's causing, you know, electrical disruptions. i've been specifically looking at creation mythologies i so ceramic is, you know, clay — like wet clay that is cooked i and is transformed into - a completely different matter. so there's a change —| like a kind of alchemy where the matter is transformed into something else. _ so that is kind of my metaphor for myself as well. _ let's change - into something else. now is the time. how important is it you have a festival of art and culture in mardin?

i think it's very organicl that it's happening here because here, likely, i you sit down and you go into a store, you sit down- and you have tea with somebody. all of a sudden, you're learning all of these, i like, other stories and, i you know, gossips and other information that you wouldn't i have any access to whatsoever, but it's an oral tradition. the works on display here are varied but they all tie in to the festival's main theme. a big part of the thematic is to do with globalisation as a gesture for border crossing and a gesture that was quite universal and was an appeal to reach out to the other across barriers of all kinds — cultural, political, linguistic. the south—eastern region in turkey is like a mix between the kurdish people and other groups as well. i mean, the geography is sort of like already a cultural melting pot.

itjust makes sense. it's like asking for it in some ways, and ready to be the receptacle for that kind of occurrence. because itjust perfectly reflects the globalisation that you're looking for to, you know, thematically put out there? precisely. yeah. the biennial is a great experience but this city's rich culture is here to see all year round. from its people to its unique architecture scattered across the slopes of this ancient city, mardin itself is truly a work of art. this summertime saw many of europe's top festivals make their comebacks after two years of covid restrictions. we headed to the english countryside to find out how to turn a farmer's field into a temporary town full of music and theatre.

you've got the kind of core team. you've then got the district kind of co—ordinated team, which is outdoor set theming. then that goes down into the street venues and smaller crews, so each one of these street venues will have its own individual crew. so they add their own bit of love and kind of detail and energy to their own little space. we've been, like, working since last week, so we've kind have been working and now it's suddenly "do this! "do that! "do this! "do that!" it's all hands on deck! this platform that has been based out. that's is the platform that we're working with, is it? so, these guys have done — they have probably been here for about two weeks, i'd say, and they've just — i mean, they'd have planned it for probably a couple of weeks in scrapyards and yeah, we do really well our of scrapyards and car boot sales, as you can imagine! the space we finished today

probably is going to have to be a voluntary day tomorrow because i don't think it's all going to be finished by tonight. there's probably about 8,000 people on—site, i think. we start with the creative brainstorming of how the festival is going to look like in september and then, we do creative brainstorming right the way through up to december and thenjanuary, we go into kind of delivery and preplanning, preproduction and then, it takes us an eight months of the preproduction to get us to opening. now, it's all about delivery. now we're on the ground, just making sure that all that planning that we've done lands as it was — how it was planned to do so, and making sure we deliver the best show of the year. there's always last—minute hiccups. we've obviously got artists dropping out of the last minute, staff dropping out at the last minute, various things, travel problems, visa problems, all those sorts of things, so while it is locked, there's — it's continually

changing and evolving. a lot of people want to play here because of — well, we're a bit different with all the theatrics going on, so we have a good reputation for what we deliver and how spectacular it can be. a lot of production levels are hugely impressive, so people want to play here. as we come into the final show week of the build, we have a 24—hour shift, so we have a daytime crew and a night—time crew, so we just keep it flowing through. festivals generally gets a lot of bad press about line—ups not being gender balanced or diverse enough, so it makes you more and more aware of it. it's the fashion to be as bold as to try for to aim 50—50, but we've been trying to gender balance the line—up for — well, since i've been here. it has always been something that we've been striving for, but it's not about gender, either — it's about diversifying the line up to all people. you know, we want everyone to not only feel welcome, we want to go out of our way to try and bring them in.

harriet from southampton, everybody! _ cheering most of them have been waiting three years to come. they've had their tickets for three years. the gates will open, they'll run in, they'll be setting up their campsites, be meeting their neighbours. it is really exciting. but before that, we have to get the site completely signed off. thank you! welcome! 0urjob is to make sure they're well behaved, of course, make sure everyone's happy, well hydrated — especially in this sort of weather. yeah, make sure everything's 0k, man. it's great seeing all the public come in — that moment when they come in. cheering and whistling and when they come into the city and get lost and get so interactive with the world, like that's — you can't replace that. come back! yoga instructor! i have learned a lot in the last 15 years being here. i think that's the beauty,

because we've grown. we grew at such an amazing speed. there was so much learning every year. what's important to me is to go out and feel that vibe out there. old town derry. i want to see how it feels for the audience and how they're reacting. right now, it's all ramping up and everyone's getting settled in and everyone just starts exploring and chatting to characters, going through doors. all of those really unique, one—off experiences you get at boomtown that people remember, they start happening i'iow. but that's all we have time for on this week's show. i'm off to watch a bit more kite surfing. but before i go, here's what's coming up next week. we have something

very special for you. we'll bejoining a group of adventurers heading off on a journey of a lifetime to one of the most fascinating but inaccessible places in the world — the wreck of the titanic. we are literally 300 metres from the titanic and, you know, i was thinking, "we're not going to make it". so dojoin us then, if you can. and if you can't wait, in the meantime, check us out on social media, where you'll find a whole range of amazing travel content from the bbc. until next time, from me, christa larwood and the rest of the travel show team here in tarifa, it's goodbye.

good morning, welcome to breakfast with ben thompson and victoria fritz. 0ur headlines today: labour sets out plans to make the uk's electricity network carbon—free by 2030, as the party's annual conference gets underway in liverpool. a british man captured by russian forces in ukraine and kept in solitary confinement for five months speaks for the first time about his ordeal.

in my cell, it was a two—man cell, but it was for four people, because we had to sleep on the same bed, on a mat that was infested with lice. houses have been washed into the sea and hundreds of thousands of people left without power as a storm lashes eastern canada. history for st helens, as they win a record fourth consecutive superleague grand final. they beat leeds rhinos by 24—12 at old trafford. a chilly start to our sunday morning. but for england and wales, there should be lots of sunshine today and largely derived. a bit more of a breeze, which will strengthen as we go through the afternoon with outbreaks of rain further north. all the details coming up shortly. it's sunday, the 25th of september. our main story. labour has set out plans to make

the uk the first major economy in the world to generate all of its electricity without using fossil fuels. it's the first full day of the party's conference, and leader sir keir starmer will argue that their plan would cut energy bills for good, help tackle the climate crisis and create hundreds of thousands of jobs. 0ur political correspondent ione wells reports from liverpool. afairer, greenerfuture. that is the message labour wants to sell here in liverpool. but what does that look like in practice? the party says if it was in power, it would make the uk's electricity system carbon—free by 2030, five years earlier than what the government has pledged. applause. the labour leader will announce they'd achieve this by quadrupling our supply of offshore wind, tripling solar power and doubling onshore wind. and also expanding nuclear, hydrogen and tidal power. the government has also

announced its intention to ramp up nuclear and renewable energy, but sources close to the labour leader think they can put clear blue water between them and the tories by putting green energyjobs front and centre of their plans to grow the economy. the conservatives have said they will do this by cutting taxes, but they'll also wrap up uk oil and gas production by ending the ban on fracking. —— ramp up. # my city, my people, my heart! that's the big pitch from the labour leadership, but others here are pushing for other policies too. striking workers here at liverpool docks are among those up and down the country calling for their pay to go up in line with inflation. that's not currently labour policy, nor are labour shadow ministers meant to appear on picket lines like this. today, delegates will vote on whether to put this policy to a vote among members here. it's something the left of the party, like allies of the former leader jeremy corbyn, support. keir starmer, though, will be keen to argue his party

is emerging from its own internal divisions, and instead is drawing a clear dividing line between labour and the tories on the economy. ione wells, bbc news, liverpool. 0ur chief political correspondent nick eardley is in liverpool. nick, labour wants to talk about renewable energy — is that a subject that's going to chime with the immediate concerns of the electorate? it feels like a lot of people will be focusing on what we had on friday from the conservatives. that be focusing on what we had on friday from the conservatives.— from the conservatives. that is the battle now. — from the conservatives. that is the battle now, ben. _ from the conservatives. that is the battle now, ben. everybody- from the conservatives. that is the l battle now, ben. everybody degrees you need to grow the economy to deal with some of the economic issues the country is facing at the moment. the big question is how you do it. labour and its leader sir keir starmer are going to spend the next few days here in liverpool talking as much as they can about their own plan for economic growth, and that is basically going to be the thing that divides british politics over

the next few months and probably the next few years as well. so labour are saying you can do this in a fairer way by growing the green economy, by investing in loads of things like onshore and offshore power, solar power and things like that, and they argue that will create lots of jobs that, and they argue that will create lots ofjobs that will help lots of people. but as we know, the government's argument, the conservative government's argument, is that if you cut tax and you cut regulation you get more investment into the country and that will grow the economy and that will make things easier over time. so you are going to hear lots of that and i think it is going to be a dividing line thatjust keeps going and british politics and probably defies the next general election. what british politics and probably defies the next general election. what else are we expecting _ the next general election. what else are we expecting to _ the next general election. what else are we expecting to hear _ the next general election. what else are we expecting to hear from i are we expecting to hear from labour? quite clearly these policies are front and centre right now, lots of reaction to what we had on friday, but labour say they are a government in waiting. do we expect to hear any more detail about what they would do if they were in power?

that is a very good question. i think that is something we will have to try to tease out of the labour party in the next few days as well. they have set out a few more policies, so, for example, on tax, we know that the government wants to cut income tax, the basic rate of income tax and scrap the rate of income tax and scrap the rate of income tax and scrap the rate of income tax paid by people earning over £150,000 per year, but labour says it would cut the basic rate of income tax but would not cut the additional rate of income tax paid by those earning the most. so we are getting a few more ideas, but i think you are right, there is still that sense with the labour party and the labour leader that there is not a full prospectus of what they would do with power, and remember, although it is probably a couple of years until the next general election, there is no reason it couldn't come sooner. there are some toys you think it could potentially come next year instead of 202a. there is going to be a lot of

pressure on the labour party to set out a lot more of what it wants to do for power. we will hear more about that in the next few days but will be trying to find out a lot more as well. i will be trying to find out a lot more as well.— will be trying to find out a lot more as well. ., , , ., more as well. i am sure you will. next, more as well. i am sure you will. next. thank _ more as well. i am sure you will. next, thank you. _ let's turn our attention to what is happening abroad now. a british man freed from prison after being held by russian—backed forces in ukraine says he was treated worse than a dog — and feared he would be killed. speaking to the sun on sunday, aiden aslin — who was released with four other britons earlier this week — told how he was beaten, kept in solitary confinement forfive months, and stabbed by a russian officer. simonjones reports. we are now out of the danger zone... the fight that aiden aslin to his freedom, after months in captivity, where he said he was treated worse than a dog. in my cell, it was a two—man cell, but there it was for four people, because we had to sleep

on the same bed, on a mat that was infested with lice. we had to sing the russian national anthem every morning, if you didn't sing it, you'd get punished, you'd be beaten or they would ponish you some way or another. aiden aslin moved to ukraine four years ago and had joined the ukrainian armed forces. if you're watching this it means we have surrendered. but his unit was forced to surrender in april. he was held with other prisoners by russian—backed separatists. in donetsk, he said an interrogation by a russian officer almost cost him his life. he got down on his knees, he was smoking a cigarette, and he was like, "do you know who i am?" i was like, "no." he said, "i'm your death," basically, in russian. i saw myself, i'd been stabbed, so i knew there was a very high possibility i was about to be killed.

now freed in a deal brokered by saudi arabia between russia and ukraine, aiden aslin says he's amazed to be back home and among people who don't want to hurt him. simon jones, bbc news. 0ur correspondent hugo bachega is in the ukrainian capital, kyiv. good to see you. now, president zelensky is always using a nightly address to talk to the people, to talk to the people of ukraine, but this time he had a message for the russians instead. what did he say? good morning. in russian, the president said president putin was sending russian conscripts to their deaths here in ukraine, obviously this is a reaction to the partial military mobilisation in russia of 300,000 reservists, and that has sparked protests in russia. we have seen videos of people refusing to join the army, long queues of cars of people trying to flee russia to georgia, and also some anti—war protests. we understand that

hundreds of people were arrested, because of those protests that have been happening in russia, so president zelensky also saying this was a criminal mobilisation by russia. he also said last night that ukraine will take back all territory but is now under russian ukraine will take back all territory but is n to under russian ukraine will take back all territory but is n to under russ day of ukraine will take back all territory but is n to under ri byiay of being info, bl said detained bl said

lea na hosea reports. we are now out of the danger zone... tropical storm fiona has battered eastern canada, leaving devastation in its wake. houses were washed into the sea, and hundreds of thousands of people were left without power as winds up to 100 miles per hour brought down power lines. emergency teams are already working to clear the roads of the huge amount of debris and fallen trees left in its wake. two women were reportedly swept into the ocean in newfoundland. port aux basques on the south—west tip of newfoundland bore the brunt of the storm. the mayor declared a state of emergency and evacuated parts of the town that were flooded. the prime minister of canada, justin trudeau, has pledged federal

help to the affected communities. as we see the images of houses falling into the sea, of waves destroying property and buildings, our thoughts need to be with people, to make sure that people are staying safe. buildings and even communities can be rebuilt, but we have to make sure that we're keeping everyone safe. storm fiona has already slipped through parts of the caribbean, knocking out the power across virtually all of puerto rico. but this storm surge was not expected in canada. according to the conversations we have had with the folks who have been in this community for a long time, all of their lives, between 70 and 80 years, a lot of them, they've never seen anything like this before. wind is not a big issue here, it's always during the winter months particularly, we have 80—120 winds, but we don't have those storm surges. it's now losing steam and has been downgraded to a post—tropical cyclone. but as prime minister trudeau

admits, infrastructure will need to be rebuilt to withstand ever more frequent extreme weather, as we see these maybe once—in—a—century storms start to hit once every few years. leana hosea, bbc news. let's turn our attention to europe and what is going on in italy. italians will decide today whether to choose their most right—wing government since world war ii, in an election being followed closely across europe. we can cross now tojess parker who's in verona. this has huge ramifications, doesn't it, if she gets into power? yes. this has huge ramifications, doesn't it, if she gets into power?— it, if she gets into power? yes, i mean, it, if she gets into power? yes, i mean. you've — it, if she gets into power? yes, i mean. you've got _ it, if she gets into power? yes, i mean, you've got a _ it, if she gets into power? yes, i mean, you've got a potential- it, if she gets into power? yes, i | mean, you've got a potential raft it, if she gets into power? yes, i i mean, you've got a potential raft of firsts here in italy, the first female prime minister, the first far

government since the end of world ii. the people we have been speaking to here in italy, the issues that matter to them, they may sound familiar to audiences in the uk as well. things like energy prices. italy was very relied on russian gas and has really felt the squeeze since russia's invasion of ukraine. we have seen that squeeze as well on energy supplies coming from russia, so that has been a huge concern. 0ne one woman! one woman i spoke to yesterday said that she thought that italy was to free and they needed to be tougher rules in italy. a range of concerns of people. but as you say, there is a huge eye across europe on this election as well. this will be the third largest economy and so what happens here is usually important here and across europe as well. we have seen the shift towards the more right wing across europe, haven't we? .

another reason that nerves will be jangling across europe. giorgia meloni has insisted that she is pro— nato and pro— supporting ukraine, but mario draghi, he was seen as a safe pair of economic hands and say for that matter. giorgia meloni under quantity in that regard. the last government position in silvio berlusconi's government a long time ago. berlusconi's government a long time aao. . ~' berlusconi's government a long time aao. . ~ , ., berlusconi's government a long time aao. . ~ ., , berlusconi's government a long time aao. . ~' ., , , berlusconi's government a long time aao. . ., , , , berlusconi's government a long time ago. thank you for bringing us up to seed, ago. thank you for bringing us up to speed. just — ago. thank you for bringing us up to speed, just parker— ago. thank you for bringing us up to speed, just parker in _ ago. thank you for bringing us up to speed, just parker in varona. i it is 7.17. there is some ferocious weather at tropical storm fiona that has had parts of canada and also a hurricane building in parts of the gulf of mexico. luis is looking at that and all the weather closer to home. . ., ., that and all the weather closer to home. , ., ., ., that and all the weather closer to home. ,., ., ., ., that and all the weather closer to home. , ., ., , ,, home. good morning. i am impressed, ben. good morning _ home. good morning. i am impressed, ben. good morning everybody. - home. good morning. i am impressed, ben. good morning everybody. he i home. good morning. i am impressed, ben. good morning everybody. he has| ben. good morning everybody. he has been doing _ ben. good morning everybody. he has been doing his homework. good morning — been doing his homework. good morning. yes, this is hurricane fiona — morning. yes, this is hurricane fiona you _ morning. yes, this is hurricane fiona. you can see it dissipating now. _ fiona. you can see it dissipating

year. a very successful day for them. departing coach kristian woolf says his st helens' side are the best team of the superleague era. they beat leeds rhinos by 24—12 to make it a record four grand final titles in a row. watching at old trafford for us was adam wild. the walk to old trafford one of rugby league's most prized journeys. leads fans perhaps hadn't expected to get here this year. saint helen �*s fans, well, they expect nothing less. three titles in three years lifting trophies. they had plenty of practice. and on the greatest stage, the biggest atmosphere experience counts plenty. saints threw in an instant. matty leaves with the game's opening score. leads clinging on by theirfingertips, pressing further in front. on by their fingertips, pressing further in front.—

it was a step up in class forjoyce, but in a fight that ebbed and flowed he eventually produced a stunning left hook in the 11th round to seal the biggest win of his career. the 37—year—old only turned pro when he was 31, and now has his eyes set on challenging heavyweight champion oleksandr usyk next year. now i get the credit i deserve from this fight. the elite level, there is no argument. sol this fight. the elite level, there is no argument. so i am happy, yeah. i enjoyed the fight and got the win. got the highlight knockout. at this stage of my career, joe was a tough _ at this stage of my career, joe was a tough challenge. as you guys saw tonight, _ a tough challenge. as you guys saw tonight, every time i hit him he keep— tonight, every time i hit him he keep coming back. and we knew exactly— keep coming back. and we knew exactly what he was going to do. everything didn't really click as i thought— everything didn't really click as i thought it would, but, hey, it's boxing —

scotland came from a goal down to beat ireland and remain on course for promotion in the nations league. while northern ireland also came from behind in their win over kosovo and it could prove crucial as they try to avoid relegation. lydia campbell watched both games. nations league promotion was on the cards for scotland, but ireland had beaten back injune and they took the lead at hamilton park. john egan with this pen, and finished when the host couldn't clear a corner. scotland got back into the contest early in the second half, jack hendry the man with the equaliser. and as the game became end to end, ireland came close to taking the lead again before this. a handball from alan brown gifting scotland a penalty, and that is a chance that ryan christie wasn't going to turn down. they held on for the victory, the saints named top of the group an hour and needing just a point against ukraine on tuesday to see

promotion. but while scotland are battling for promotion, over in belfast, northern ireland were fighting relegation, with does medici opening the scoring of kosovo. going into this match, northern ireland still had not won in the nations league, but this was about to change. shane labrie setting up government white to level the scoring beforejosh mcguinness became the hero, clinching the win in injury time. safety isn't confirmed yet, though. it will all come down to a trip to greece on tuesday. lydia campbell, bbc news. and wales play poland a bit later today as well. the records continue to fall in women's football on the back of england winning the euros this summer, as 47,367 people were at the emirates to watch the north london derby between arsenal and tottenham hotspur — a wsl record attendance. and the home fans were treated to a masterclass from their side. beth mead opening the scoring in a big 4—0 win, and the players

believe that the fans played their part. you can hear now, it does make a bit of a difference. to have that atmosphere. obviously in summer at the euros, we didn't really feel that. i'm glad everyone has come out today to show that support. i'm just glad we got three points. there was a controversial end to england and india's one day series with the non—striker run out by the bowler after england had threatened a surprising win. the hosts staged a remarkable recovery from 118/9 and were within17 runs of victory when this happened. deepti sharma ran out charlie dean at the non—striker�*s end as she was backing up and the so—called �*mankad' gave them the win by 16 runs. it's within the laws of the game, but will no doubt leave a sour taste with england.

bristol went top of rugby union's premiership with a bonus—point win over london irish. while the champions leicester tigers fought back to beat northampton in an east midlands derby. george martin running in a bonus point winning try for tigers. elsewhere there were wins for saracens, plus a much needed victory for troubled worcester over newcastle. there's been a fightback from the international team in golf�*s president's cup, but they're still 11—7 behind the us going into the final day. it's a ryder cup style format, with 15.5 points needed to secure overall victory. yesterday's foursomes were drawn 2—2 before the international team won the fourballs 3—1. cam davis holed this putt to win the final match. there are 12 singles matches later today. and to a similar format in tennis, the laver cup, where novak djokovic thrashed frances tiafoe in his first appearance since winning wimbledon. the former world number one eased

to a straight sets victory to put europe 8—4 ahead against the world team, and look who was cheering him on — the great roger federer who of course played his final competitive match late on friday night. there are four matches later today with each worth 3 points for a win. the first team to 13 points wins the tournament. mixed doubles usually involves a racquet or maybe a bat, how about a cue? a new mixed doubles snooker tournament is taking place in milton keynes this weekend featuring the world's top four women and men. last night reanne evans and ronnie o'sullivan and took on neil robertson and nutcharut wongharuthai. reanne and ronnie won that one by 3 frames to 1.

it's big, brash, bright, bold — really big! — and it's back. did i mention it's big? set in the heart of berlin, ifa is europe's largest tech expo and for the first time in such a long time, i got to come back to the coolest city in the world to see what's cooking. ifa is back to its heady mix of showiness and practicality. a place where your fridge can be part of a massive light show, with colour—changing panels and a party mode. your garden is also now portable and lives indoors. those could do with a water, though. and, yes, they do go big on their washing machines — either that, or i've shrunk in the wash. disinfection robot. all right, i'm disinfected, thank you. here's a tip — if you're ever asked to do an action photo, do launch yourself into the air.

it always makes you look good. i've really missed this place. we used to come here every year to take the temperature of the tech world midsummer. and i'd say that after a couple of years on ice, it's definitely warming up again, with a few old favourites being reheated. although some do have a new twist. here's samsung's odyssey ark — a curved oled screen that can be used in landscape or portrait mode for a different, all—encompassing view. and for those who don't know whether they actually want a curved screen or not, the lg oled flex will be out later this year, promising to bend to your will. around ten halls worth of ifa were dedicated to the smart home, which traditionally has meant plugging in bits of your life that previously didn't even need to be plugged in, and that's why many of the big names here were keen to attach a particular

word to their product. sustainability. the argument is that the bits that are now connected to the grid can help you monitor and control your energy consumption in a way that ultimately leads to smarter power management. we see at ifa manufacturers of devices who help you control the climate. when the window is open, it automatically sends a message to the smart phone and turns down the heating. great idea, perhaps, but let's not forget they're not new ideas — but they do seem more relevant right now. one of the big, overarching themes of the show has been the environment and sustainability. but we shouldn't lose sight of the fact that we've all come here on an aeroplane, you know, we're all sitting in air—conditioned buildings. i do feel, for the first time, it is a story that is starting to get more prominence and therefore, every company has to have a story. but the problem is you have

to cut through this kind of desire to do greenrinsing or greenwashing on what's actually real. there are definite attempts to be green here — well, there's some greenery about, anyway — i'm just not sure it's enough to solve the energy crisis. but in amongst the weeds, there was some definite energy positives. this is the ecoflow delta, which consists of this solar panel here and one of these three boxes. and what's interesting is on a bright and sunny day, the solar panels can charge this box here in about four hours and give you 3600 watt hours, which means you could keep yourfridge running for about 1.5 days, maybe even two days. it uses a fast—charging lfp four—battery system, like those used by tesla. and, like many ideas that originated before the current energy crisis, its time mayjust have come. so, people are looking

for these renewable, safe, sustainable solutions to generate their own power, to store it and to use it. we have the global situation, right, of higher energy costs everywhere, of energy insecurity, so in a lot of regions in the world, there is power not a very secure feature, you have outages a lot, you have crisis everywhere in the world, so it more and more becomes, let's say that consumers and people start to think about, "ok, which other way do i have to have my own secure power generation, independently from any grid," right, from any provider?". so, you could give essentials going for a few hours during a blackout. but with a maximum output of 1800 watts, you could blow it all, literally, on some high—powered necessities. just don't get these two the wrong way round. i bet that's the closest you've even been to either of those tools! spencer chuckles.

you know me too well! right, we'll be back at ifa later in the programme. the only thing i really missed this year was you, but you've been to the great british seaside instead, haven't you? yes, i have been to dorset, which is beautiful and has hopefully been made safer, thanks to 5g. every year, around 22 million people flock to the spectacular jurassic coast in the south of england, so public safety is a serious concern. whether it's hiking along the coast or swimming in the sea, huge crowds and a wild location mean serious incidents are inevitable. it wasn't so long ago that if you got yourself into trouble, you needed to make your up here to use this. but now, 5g has connected the coast. and the initiative to save lives starts out at sea with the world's first 5g—connected buoys. the data they collect includes

current, wave height and tidal conditions, and that's all beamed back to shore with speeds claimed to be 8,000 times faster than current technology used out at sea. low latency is so vital because it enables real—time decision—making. so, any changes or sudden changes in the weather can be notified and people are kept up to date to help keep safety and make sure that people are utilising the coastal environment sensibly. these buoys offer more than just sensor data. aquaculture — farming at sea — is a growing part of dorset�*s economy and 5g—connected cameras underneath the buoys offer continuous monitoring of seaweed growth — and also make sure that no—one steals it! believe it or not, people do steal that kind of crop along the jurassic coast and we're feeding those images via high—definition cameras into an ai algorithm which is analysing the growth rates and saying, "is this "seaweed developing at the rate

that we would expect it to?" and the sea data connected by the buoys is also transmitted via 5g to connected signs dotted along the coastline, providing potentially life—saving, real—time information for visitors. buoy is sending information about things like sea temperature, the sea state, wave height to goes to connected signs. and the whole point, really, is to give people a nowcast rather than a forecast of what the conditions are like in the water. the connected signs also have foot—fall counters to relay real—time data back to emergency services to prevent overcrowding. and with millions of annual visitors coming to a spot with limited connectivity, the 5g network could make a vital difference. if you come down to the beach here, there is no cellular connectivity, which is quite annoying if you've just come

here for the day to play with your kids or whatever. but actually, from a public safety point of view, it presents real challenges and can really be the difference between saving lives or not. and while erosion has helped shape this stunning coastline, it can also be dangerous, so sensors have been installed along the coast that use the 5g network to track ground movement. we're also using 56 technologies to connect sensors along the jurassic coast. it's a very unstable — it erodes quite quickly. that's what makes it so stunningly beautiful. if we can use that connectivity to monitor the movement of the land and make sure that we can make changes to the way we manage the coast as a result of that information and that data, that's good for local people and it's good for the visitors who come here. so, with a 5g network that connects sensors out at sea, in the cliffs and on shore, this coastline has been

revamped for the 21st century, letting visitors enjoy and explore this beautiful landscape safely. let's go back to ifa in berlin, where spencer's found a friend? yeah, do you think she likes me? how could she not? well, as long as she doesn't leak oil on the sofa. and, at ifa, there was even something for you if you're one of those old—fashioned types who likes your furry friends to be, er, real! it's a pet dryer. a dryerfor your pets. yeah, i'm not convinced either. but seeing these crazy ideas on the show floor did give me a warm, fuzzy feeling. i've nipped off to the nearest vr multisensory dome. there's a giant mining truck going by. and yeah, i can feel — i can feel it rumbling, thanks for the vest. yes, it's a haptic vest

which vibrates whenever the experience demands a little extra sensation. also... now, i'm sitting with a lady on a chair. she's asking me to sniff a piece of chocolate cake. ok, i will! i can certainly smell something. is that chocolate? i think that's probably chocolate. all right, well, i'm having all my senses stimulated here! my nose is being tickled by scents emitted by this smell ball, which only slightly reminds me of the interrogation droid from star wars. here's the soflow mover — possibly the coolest way to carry goods around the warehouse. pulsing blue lights are not included. oh, it really has been a wild ride this year! rock music plays. sighs. and i'm afraid that is it from ifa 2022. it is so good to be back.

i keep saying it, it keeps on being true. this is the short version of this week's show. the full length version is waiting for you, as ever, right now on iplayer. thanks for watching and we'll see you soon!

good morning. welcome to breakfast with ben thompson and victoria fritz. our headlines today... labour sets out plans to make the uk's electricity network carbon—free by 2030 as the party's annual conference gets under way in liverpool. a british man captured by russian forces in ukraine and kept in solitary confinement for five months speaks for the first time about his ordeal. in micelle it was a two—man cell but there were four people because we had to sleep on the same bed on some mat that was in infested with lice. houses have been washed into the sea and hundreds of thousands of people left without power as a storm lashes eastern canada. history for st helens as they win a record fourth consecutive superleague grand final. they beat leeds rhinos by 24 points to 12 at old trafford.

good morning. it is a chilly start to sunday morning, but for england and wales there should be lots of sunshine today, and largely dry. a bit more of a breeze, which will strengthen as we go through the afternoon with some outbreaks of rain further north. all the details coming up shortly. good morning. it's sunday the 25th of september. our main story. labour has set out plans to make the uk the first major economy in the world to generate all of its electricity without using fossil fuels. it's the first full day of the party's conference, and leader sir keir starmer will argue that their plan would cut energy bills for good, help tackle the climate crisis and create hundreds of thousands of jobs. our political correspondent lone wells reports from liverpool. afairer, greenerfuture. that's the message labour want to sell here in liverpool. but what does that look like in practice? the party says if it was in power,

it would make the uk's electricity system carbon—free by 2030, five years earlier than what the government has pledged. applause. the labour leader will announce they'd achieve this by quadrupling our supply of offshore wind, tripling solar power and doubling onshore wind. and also expanding nuclear, hydrogen and tidal power. the government has also announced its intention to ramp up nuclear and renewable energy, but sources close to the labour leader think they can put clear blue water between them and the tories by putting green energyjobs front and centre of their plans to grow the economy. the conservatives have said they'll do this by cutting taxes, but they'll also ramp up uk oil and gas production by ending the ban on fracking. # my city, my people, my heart! that's the big pitch

from the labour leadership, but others here are pushing for other policies too. striking workers here at liverpool docks are among those up and down the country calling for their pay to go up in line with inflation. that's not currently labour policy, nor are labour shadow ministers meant to appear on picket lines like this. today, delegates here will vote on whether to put this policy to a vote among members here. it's something the left of the party, like allies of the former leader jeremy corbyn, support. keir starmer! keir starmer, though, will be keen to argue his party is emerging from its own internal divisions, and instead is drawing a clear dividing line between labour and the tories on the economy. lone wells, bbc news, liverpool. and that labour party conference getting under way today. we will speak tojonathan getting under way today. we will speak to jonathan reynolds, getting under way today. we will speak tojonathan reynolds, shadow business secretary, a little later on in the programme. before that, let's bring you today's at the programme. before that, let's bring you today's other main stories. a british man freed from prison after being held by russian—backed forces in ukraine says he was treated worse than a dog

and feared he would be killed. you might remember him, aiden aslin. he was speaking to the sun on sunday. he was released with four other britons earlier this week, told how he was beaten, kept in solitary confinement for five months and stabbed by a russian officer. simonjones reports. we are now out of the danger zone... the fight that took aiden aslin to his freedom after months in captivity, where he said he was treated worse than a dog. in my cell, it was a two—man cell, but there it was for four people, because we had to sleep on the same bed, on a mat that was infested with lice. we had to sing the russian national anthem every morning, and if you didn't sing it, you'd get punished, you'd be beaten or they would punish you some way or another. aiden aslin moved to ukraine four years ago and had joined the ukrainian armed forces. if you're watching this it means we have surrendered. but his unit was forced to surrender in april. he was held with other prisoners

by russian—backed separatists. in donetsk, he said an interrogation by a russian officer almost cost him his life. he got down on his knees, he was smoking a cigarette, and he was like, "do you know who i am?" i was like, "no." he said, "i'm your death," basically, in russian. i saw myself, i'd been stabbed, so i knew there was a very high possibility i was about to be killed. now freed in a deal brokered by saudi arabia between russia and ukraine, aiden aslin says he's amazed to be back home and among people who don't want to hurt him. simon jones, bbc news. staying with news from russia and ukraine. hundreds of people have been arrested by authorities as protests against russia's new "partial mobilisation" continue across the country, an independent rights group has claimed. ovd—info said 724 people were detained across 32 different cities yesterday,

during demonstrations against president putin's plan to draft 300,000 men to fight in ukraine. unsanctioned rallies are banned under russian law.

it may well be that president putin

is actually quite glad these long lines coming into countries like georgia, in the east, in finland in the west, because the people that are driving who will be called up for the army. they don't want to be called up, so the chances i think are quite strong that they would take part in as you say, i suppose it is self selecting. we heard yesterday that president putin has signed amendments that make penalties really tough for service men who refused to fight. but what does that

mean for those who do not want to fight, of which there are plenty? and to that point, president zelensky, in his nightly address, saying he knows that vladimir putin is sending citizens to their death and he is making an appeal directly to russia? ~ , . ., ., to russia? well, its creating of course, to russia? well, its creating of course. a _ to russia? well, its creating of course, a kind _ to russia? well, its creating of course, a kind of— to russia? well, its creating of course, a kind of underclass i to russia? well, its creating of course, a kind of underclass in| course, a kind of underclass in russia of people who do not want to obey the law that perhaps go underground, go missing, go hide in, all of these are things that are very dangerous for a government which of course is used to controlling the lives ofjust about everybody. and requires the services of so many people to fight its war in ukraine. so of course it's very troubling for vladimir putin at the

moment. i notice either the president and the prime minister i think of live the said well don't try and come to our stay in country, russia. and work for regime change. and of course, that is what russia's neighbours are hoping will happen. meanwhile in ukraine, these self—styled referendums are continuing in different regions. russian occupied areas. there have been reports and we have seen the videos, of soldiers going door—to—door. do you believe people are being forced to vote? absolutely. i don't think there's any doubt. i saw the same thing happen in crimea in 2014, when there was a referendum there. on whether crimea should join russia. there wasn't as much pressure on

people there but the pressure was clear and it's far, far more clear now. with soldiers standing over people as they fill in the referendum forms. there is little, if any secrecy about the vote. and everybody knows that if they don't vote for union with russia, they will be singled out, their names will be singled out, their names will be singled out, their names will be taken, the way they bought it will be observed and they will suffer for it in some way so i don't think there's any doubt that it will produce some sort of fairly large majority in favour of voting for russia, it doesn't mean to say people want it but they willjust be scared not to do it. vladimir putin will announce the result, we think, towards the middle or end of next week and probably it will be up in

the 90% like so many of these different referendums over the years. that western countries in particular, regarded as fake. putting aside the ethics of this, the morality of this, in some ways, it's almost a masterstroke from vladimir putin because if he suddenly controls 15% of ukraine in terms of considering russian land, then all of a sudden, russian [and is then in direct conflict with nato and that completely changes the complexion of this work? yes, and that's his purpose, so to do that, to make it so that these areas of ukraine are absorbed into russia and that therefore if ukraine carries on fighting in those areas, the russians can say, you're now

attacking russian national territory, and we protect russian natural territory with if necessary nuclear weapons, so it is a dangerous step here, but think about one of the areas where the referendum is happening, kherson in the south. that is an area where the ukrainian army is making big advances, and where it looks possible at any rate, as though quite a large number of russian troops, tens of thousands of them might be trapped, and what has been happening is a lot of voices within the military side of things in moscow have been saying, look, don't let that be trapped. they will have to surrender, this will be an absolute disaster. let them get out, leave kherson, let it become

captured by ukraine. the dangers of a russian defeat there are far too strong, and putin has been standing out against that, saying, no, it doesn't matter what happens. and of course if kherson is given one of these phony figures of 95, 90 6% that it wants to go to russia, then the dangers of a nuclear confrontation there are high. ladle confrontation there are high. we really appreciate your time, john. john simpson, our world affairs editor. and we do of course have loads and ukraine on the website, and a great podcast as well. unite let's return to our other top story

today. labour have set out plans to make the uk the first major economy in the world to develop all of the country's electricity without fossil fuels. we can speak now to jonathan reynolds, the shadow business secretary. let's start first of all with your headline plan of this conference. how would it work? because we have had similar things from the government, you are saying they would do it a bit earlier than proposed?— would do it a bit earlier than iro iosed? , ., ._ would do it a bit earlier than iroiosed? , ., ._ ., proposed? yes, we lead the way over the summer. — proposed? yes, we lead the way over the summer, but _ proposed? yes, we lead the way over the summer, but this _ proposed? yes, we lead the way over the summer, but this is _ proposed? yes, we lead the way over the summer, but this is part - proposed? yes, we lead the way over the summer, but this is part of- proposed? yes, we lead the way over the summer, but this is part of the i the summer, but this is part of the longer term plan, the summer, but this is part of the longerterm plan, it the summer, but this is part of the longer term plan, it is about short—term intervention in the volatility at the minute. it is about how do we make sure british people and businesses are not as exposed to these pressures as they have been in future, so for us that is the plan to take fossil fuels out of the system, more solar and wind, more nuclear and carbon capture where you are capturing the emissions, and of course storage, so it is a very stark alternative to

what we have heard from the government and i don't think there is public consent to things like fracking, but any prices from fracking, but any prices from fracking would be sold at the european commodity rate, but that in our view is not really any type of compensation. it will not work for us, it is only through policies like this, clean energy, secure energy, investing in skills and training, thatis investing in skills and training, that is how you make the british economy grow. so there is a lot between these two visions of what the country can be. ladle between these two visions of what the country can be.— between these two visions of what the country can be. we will come to some of those _ the country can be. we will come to some of those proposals _ the country can be. we will come to some of those proposals that - the country can be. we will come to some of those proposals that we i some of those proposals that we heard on friday and just a second, but on your energy plan you say it will save £93 billion over the next decade. how do you come to that number? ladle decade. how do you come to that number? ~ , .,,, , ., number? we use fossil fuels for heatini number? we use fossil fuels for heating but _ number? we use fossil fuels for heating but also _ number? we use fossil fuels for heating but also for— number? we use fossil fuels for heating but also for electricity i heating but also for electricity generation too, and the problem we have seen in our exposure to the price of natural gas in the last few

months have been that we set the electricity rate by the last unit of production, so that is the gas price, even though we have a substantial renewable base, we are exposed to high gas prices, so by decoupling electricity prices from that, we can see a massive reduction in what people are paying for energy bills, and at the same time it is more secure, we can export to other countries. so the case is incredibly compelling for having ambition to do this, and by not doing things like fracking you are not making these investments riskier than the otherwise would be. the state and private sector working together, and there is a lotto gain private sector working together, and there is a lot to gain from that. quite clearly this is an important plan. we need to reduce our energy dependence on overseas energy. that is a given, especially what we're seeing right now in terms of energy prices. but is it the immediate focus? how does any of this get us through the short term. how does it get us through what could be a long, cold winter with record energy prices? cold winter with record energy irices? , ., _

for people to see what detail you are proposing. one would imagine that that is what this conference is about, laying out your stall and saying, this is what we would do. so what will you do?— what will you do? absolutely, so there is no _ what will you do? absolutely, so there is no doubt _ what will you do? absolutely, so there is no doubt following i what will you do? absolutely, so there is no doubt following the l what will you do? absolutely, so i there is no doubt following the mini budget on friday that you have both parties agree that the last 12 years have been very poor for the british economy, and that has been a source of most of the uk's problem, so you have the conservative vision making already wealthy people better off with tax cuts in subsidies... i understand you don't like that. i'm interested in what you would do. for us it is interested in what you would do. fr?" us it is things like informing business rates, having a long—term industrial strategy, changing the brexit detail to make it work better, big investment in skills. these are the enhancements we will make this week. it is notjust about those policies. it is a different vision of how this country should work and how the economy can grow. i agree with kwasi kwarteng when he

says the conservatives had 12 years of a vicious cycle of stagnation, he called it, but! of a vicious cycle of stagnation, he called it, but i think our way to break out of that is a much better way, and it is notjust a different set of policies, it is a different philosophical vision for what we should be doing. i philosophical vision for what we should be doing.— philosophical vision for what we should be doing. i put this question to the snp leader _ should be doing. i put this question to the snp leader a _ should be doing. i put this question to the snp leader a little _ should be doing. i put this question to the snp leader a little earlier- to the snp leader a little earlier on this programme, and i will put it to you as well. it is very easy for us to criticise a financial services, the bankers, the elimination of that cap on bonuses, all of those sorts of things, they are an easy target. but the truth is they are a huge component of what we do as a country. financial service is one of our biggest exports. 8% of gdp, 10% of all government receipts in terms of tax, £75 billion in tax. so what the government is saying is, we welcome that sort of business, we want to encourage it to come here, because they will pay a larger proportion of tax revenue. don't you agree with that? it proportion of tax revenue. don't you agree with that?— agree with that? it has been four ears agree with that? it has been four years since _ agree with that? it has been four years since the _ agree with that? it has been four

years since the labour— agree with that? it has been four years since the labour party's i agree with that? it has been four| years since the labour party's city of london spokesperson, so i know a bit about this. when they talk about the cap on bankers bonuses, don't forget the city of london financial services is more than us investment banks, it is insurance, pensions. there is a lotto this, and specifically on the point of removing the cap on bankers bonuses, rememberfirst of all removing the cap on bankers bonuses, remember first of all this is a financial stability policy, to stop people being incentivised to take risks which ultimately into thousand eight because this country a whole range of problems. i understand the case that some us investment bank struggle to transfer people from new york to london because of the way they are remunerated, but do not think that has a policy that will break this country out of 12 years of stagnation. for 99.9% of people and businesses it is immaterial. it is a floor of the conservatives that they only care about the people of they only care about the people of the very top and think giving those people incentives is the way to make the economy grow for everyone. it hasn't worked, it doesn't work in other countries. i accept there is a specific case about issues here, but if this is put forward as their

major plan to turn around 12 years of failure, it is not good enough, because it won't work. it is of failure, it is not good enough, because it won't work.— of failure, it is not good enough, because it won't work. it is good to have ou because it won't work. it is good to have you with _ because it won't work. it is good to have you with us _ because it won't work. it is good to have you with us this _ because it won't work. it is good to have you with us this morning, i have you with us this morning, jonathan reynolds, shadow business secretary. thank you.— secretary. thank you. thank you very much. the military is being deployed to canada's nova scotia province after tropical storm fiona battered the coastline. hundreds of thousands of people across five provinces have been left without power — and officials have warned of severe damage to critical infrastructure, with trees and powerlines felled and houses washed into the sea. lea na hosea reports. tropical storm fiona has battered eastern canada, leaving devastation in its wake. houses were washed into the sea, and hundreds of thousands of people are left without power as winds up to 100 mph bring down power lines. emergency teams are already working to clear the roads of the huge amount of debris and fallen

managing the nerves, that is a difficult one. you just have to accept it, don't try and not be nervous. i tried that for so many years, used to annoy me that i would get so nervous, and people forget about that that the dies; as about that that the pros do get as nervous as the celebs. just embrace it and try and accept it and enjoy the nerves, and don't try and not be nervous, it is almost impossible. it is almost like having a panic attack about the idea that you might have a panic attack. so how did you manage stage fright? i panic attack. so how did you manage stage fright?— stage fright? i think for me it was 'ust the stage fright? i think for me it was just the fact _ stage fright? i think for me it was just the fact that _ stage fright? i think for me it was just the fact that l _ stage fright? i think for me it was just the fact that i did _ stage fright? i think for me it was just the fact that i did it, - just the fact that i did it, eventually just just the fact that i did it, eventuallyjust kind of get used to it, you know what is coming and you know what to expect. the feeling of your legs going like jelly, know what to expect. the feeling of your legs going likejelly, that know what to expect. the feeling of your legs going like jelly, that you move them. _ih —m = -e = “e 7 7qu 7 theeifu, 7qu 7 again strange feeling. but in the end. i of enjoyed it, i knew that that kind of enjoyed it, i knew that that buzz was coming, so it is a one explain until you have actually

and they showed the vast majority of people will be worse off when you take of the conservative tax proposals together and look at the independent experts, they show you have to be earning £155,000 or more to get any benefit in tax cuts. if you are below £135,000, you will see rises so if you work in a shop or factory or an office, the health service, if you are a teacher, your tax is going up. it is only if you are a stockbroker or chief executive order you will see the government is totally out of touch. the order you will see the government is totally out of touch.— totally out of touch. the treasury heanni totally out of touch. the treasury hearing says _ totally out of touch. the treasury hearing says urinalysis _ totally out of touch. the treasury hearing says urinalysis ignores i totally out of touch. the treasury | hearing says urinalysis ignores the historic increase to the cereal rate national insurance threshold meaning a tax cut for workers? i national insurance threshold meaning a tax cut for workers?— a tax cut for workers? i would refer the treasury _ a tax cut for workers? i would refer the treasury to _ a tax cut for workers? i would refer the treasury to the _ a tax cut for workers? i would refer the treasury to the independent i the treasury to the independent experts, the well renowned accepted

institute for fiscal studies. the truth is the conservatives have frozen the income tax allowance, the point at which people pay income tax and so they are dragging 2 million low—paid workers back into income tax so some of the lowest paid are paying income tax on people on low and middle incomes see their taxes rise for less than 1% wealthiest see their taxes cut. that is wrong and by the way it is bad for growth. horde by the way it is bad for growth. how come because _ by the way it is bad for growth. how come because this _ by the way it is bad for growth. how come because this is all predicated, all of this is predicated on the idea liz truss is backing growth, it's in the piece she wrote over the weekend, the same for kwasi karteng. they say they are unapologetically going for growth and they realise what it is they are doing so why do you think this is bad for growth? the i% you think this is bad for growth? the 1% of taxpayers will get the benefit and many of them will either say that money or spend it abroad. if as liberal democrats want, if we were to help millions of families

struggling with their energy bills, food bills and mortgage rates, if we were to have the vast majority of people they will spend it in the local economy so if we want to grow the economy, you need to help the millions of people struggling rather than help the very wealthiest in our country. i think it's the wrong thing to do, it is unfair but i think it's bad for growth. i think the conservatives have lost the plot under out of touch. if you want to grow the economy and a fairer way, just grow it, you've got to help people who are struggling. you think that was announced _ people who are struggling. you think that was announced in _ people who are struggling. you think that was announced in terms - people who are struggling. you think that was announced in terms of i people who are struggling. you think that was announced in terms of the i that was announced in terms of the health of your energy bills doesn't do that? it’s health of your energy bills doesn't do that? �* , ., ., ., do that? it's nowhere near enough. remember. — do that? it's nowhere near enough. remember, next _ do that? it's nowhere near enough. remember, next week, _ do that? it's nowhere near enough. remember, next week, people's i do that? it's nowhere near enough. i remember, next week, people's energy bills will grow up by another £500. —— will go up. next to the conservatives they will go up by another £500 so the help they provided to millions of people is known point near enough on the energy bills and what the lib dems

have said, there should be a one—off windfall tax on the huge profits at the oil and gas companies. if you did that, we reckon you could race in total about £60 billion, that would enable you to give real help to people who are struggling and to businesses and you wouldn't have this reckless borrowing which is going to put up people's mortgage rates. i am really worried the government have got an unfair policy and a bad policy for growth. it's the worst about possible worlds and millions of people are going to be really struggle investment, i'm really struggle investment, i'm really a lance, they are already finding it tough. the government has done nowhere near enough to help and i think people feel the conservatives are taking them for granted. and they either don't get it or they just granted. and they either don't get it or theyjust don't care. this granted. and they either don't get it or theyjust don't care.— it or theyjust don't care. this is interesting- _ it or theyjust don't care. this is interesting. within _ it or theyjust don't care. this is interesting. within this - it or theyjust don't care. this is interesting. within this budget, j it or theyjust don't care. this is i interesting. within this budget, we have a separate conservative budget in terms of economic philosophy but

actually, a pretty left—wing style of delivery in terms of borrowing in order to pay for all of this. why did the lib dems sit on this, what would you do differently because no one is disputing how difficult the situation is with regard to slowing growth, probably already in recession, and inflation largely the result of factors that are outside the control of this country because they come from places like ukraine and the war with russia, and energy bills and gas prices there? what is any government of any flavour supposed to do, given the hand that they are currently dealt? the liberal democrats _ they are currently dealt? i�*ie: liberal democrats would they are currently dealt? tia: liberal democrats would not do what the conservatives are doing. they are borrowing recklessly to fund tax cuts for banks, tax cuts for the richest 1%. they are getting rid of the cap on bankers bonuses, these are policies the liberal democrats would vote against. it’s are policies the liberal democrats would vote against.— would vote against. it's very easy to criticise _ would vote against. it's very easy to criticise what _ would vote against. it's very easy to criticise what you _ would vote against. it's very easy to criticise what you wouldn't i would vote against. it's very easy to criticise what you wouldn't go l to criticise what you wouldn't go but what is it that you would do a

leeds fans perhaps hadn't expected to get here this year. st helens fans — well, they expect nothing less. three titles in three years — lifting trophies, they've had plenty of practice. and on the greatest stage, the biggest atmosphere experience counts plenty. saints through in an instant. matty lees with the game's opening score. leeds clinging on by theirfingertips. with theirs, saints were pressing further in front. john bennison touching down — control. leeds now desperate for a way back, but with all routes appearing blocked, the story of the first half ending with a twist. the fightback? well, there is a reason why saints have dominated for so long. here was their show of strength. konrad hurell once a leeds player, offering a painful reminder of what they'd missed. no side has ever before won four back—to—back grand finals. when mark perceval touched down, yet another trophy lift was just

a matter of time. and so here's history. saint helens champions for a fourth consecutive year, the best team once again and perhaps now the best team this competition has ever seen. adam wild, bbc news, at old trafford. there was a big night of boxing in manchester where britain's joe joyce claimed the vacant wbo interim heavyweight title with a thrilling knockout victory over new zealand's joseph parker. it was a step up in class forjoyce, but in a fight that ebbed and flowed he eventually produced a stunning left hook in the 11th round to seal the biggest win of his career. joyce will now be targeting a shot at a world title — and would appear in prime position to challenge unified champion oleksandr usyk. now i get the credit - i deserve from this fight. the elite level, - there is no argument. so i am happy, yeah.

i enjoyed the fight and got the win. got the highlight knockout. at this stage of my career, joe was a tough challenge. as you guys saw tonight, every time i hit him he keep coming back. and we knew exactly what he was going to do. everything didn't really click as i thought it would, but, hey, it's boxing. scotland are a step closer to being promoted to the top tier of the nations league after they came from behind to beat ireland at hampden park. ryan christie's penalty eight minutes from time ensured a comeback, 2—1win. as long as scotland don't lose to ukraine on tuesday night they'll win their group. and elsewhere, it might have taken 15 games, but northern ireland finally have their first nations league victory. josh maguinness scored the winner in injury time, giving them a 2—1win over kosovo.

and wales face poland later on today. the records continue to fall in women's football on the back of england winning the euros this summer as 47,367 people were at the emirates to watch the north london derby between arsenal and tottenham hotspur — a wsl record attendance. and the home fans were treated to a masterclass from their side. beth mead opening the scoring in a big 4—0 win. there was a controversial end to england and india's one day series with the non—striker run out by the bowler after england had threatened a surprising win. the hosts staged a remarkable recovery from 118 for 9 and were within 17 runs of victory when this happened. deepti sharma ran out charlie dean at the non strikers end as she was backing up and the so called 'mankad' gave them the win by 16 runs. it's within the laws of the game, but will no doubt leave a sour taste with england.

and as you can see there, england players, with the looks on those faces, debating whether it was sent the spirit of the game. you can see them, trying to get the line right, accepting, kate cross, i heard, said they should have won it earlier, but also being very frustrated that was the way it ended and the series ended. 50 the way it ended and the series ended. , , ~ , the way it ended and the series ended, , , �* , ,., ended. so interested in this. as you said, it's ended. so interested in this. as you said. it's in — ended. so interested in this. as you said, it's in the _ ended. so interested in this. as you said, it's in the rules. _ ended. so interested in this. as you said, it's in the rules. perfectly - said, it's in the rules. perfectly legal. but not in the spirit of the game and that's a really difficult one to argue. i game and that's a really difficult one to argue-— game and that's a really difficult one to argue. i think it's only been done for times _ one to argue. i think it's only been done for times in _ one to argue. i think it's only been done for times in odi _ one to argue. i think it's only been done for times in odi cricket, - one to argue. i think it's only been done for times in odi cricket, the l done for times in odi cricket, the first time in women's cricket, not only done. first time in women's cricket, not only done-— first time in women's cricket, not - only done-_ but only done. takes a brave person. but only done. takes a brave person. but on a slightly — only done. takes a brave person. but on a slightly more _ only done. takes a brave person. but on a slightly more serious _ only done. takes a brave person. but on a slightly more serious note, - only done. takes a brave person. but on a slightly more serious note, it. on a slightly more serious note, it doesn't _ on a slightly more serious note, it doesn't happen very often but now this kind _ doesn't happen very often but now this kind of— doesn't happen very often but now this kind of things are not happening in a bubble, they are getting — happening in a bubble, they are getting a — happening in a bubble, they are getting a lot of backlash on social

the corner and you can see the high cloud developing over the last few hours but it's largely dry, sunshine around on for england and wales, we keep that as we go through the day. we start to see wetter weather developing into the far north—west of scotland and that will bring heavy rain to the north—west and gale force winds later in the day so it's 14 gale force winds later in the day so it's1li degrees here but in the sunshine at 17 or 18 so i will take that and you should take that when you know what's coming over the next few days. the wind is light at the moment, starting to strengthen behind that weather front and also starting to change direction from westerly to more of a northerly so that will dry showers across scotland and northern ireland, we see rain moving its way south across the southern counties first thing tomorrow but with the cloud, the wind and rain, it won't be as cold to start. there is that front easing away but look how many isobars are on the chart so the winds are strengthening and a blustery day on

monday and because they come from the north, never a warm sauce at any time of the year but now it's autumn, it will make it feel chilly and that will blow plenty of showers across the country so sunny spells and scattered showers on monday but it's really the wind that will be the keen story. a0 or 50 miles an hour on exposed coasts so that will make it feel chilly. in terms of the temperatures, we are looking at around 8—10 in scotland, it may be 1a-16 around 8—10 in scotland, it may be 1a—16 generally across the country. three cheers to, the wind turns lighter so that's good news but coming from the north and that will be pushing on plenty of showers so it means some of those could linger a little bit longer and the temperature again still struggling a little, 10-1a , temperature again still struggling a little, 10—1a , perhaps temperature again still struggling a little, 10—1a, perhaps milder in the far south—west and not much change as we go through the working week. sunny spells, scattered showers and temperature is cooler
