this is bbc news. the headlines: conservative mp conor burns has been asked to leave government with �*immediate effect�* following a complaint of �*serious misconduct�*. the prime minister intervenes — and stops a launch of a public information campaign on reducing energy use this winter. a man armed with a knife has died after being shot by police in the grounds of a police station in derby. scotland�*s first minister nicola sturgeon has criticised liz truss for not speaking to her properly since she became prime minister, saying it was �*absurd�*. there�*s not been a phone call. i don�*t know whether that is arrogance, lack of respect or insecurity, whatever it is, it�*s not the right way to do government.
5:01 pm
we�*ll find out later which city will host the eurovision song contest next year in place of ukraine. and our european champions, the lionnesses, take on the united states in a friendly this evening. good afternoon, in the last hour... the conservative mp conor burns has been sacked from the government following a complaint of "serious misconduct". the former trade minister has also had the tory whip suspended pending an investigation into allegations of inappropriate behaviour.
5:02 pm
the prime minister�*s office said liz had taken direct action after being informed. joining me now is our political correspondent, leila nathoo. what more can you tell us about this and about downing street reaction? we had a first statement from the conservative party via the conservative party via the conservative party via the conservative party from the width�*s office saying, burns had had the whip suspended, the conservative whip suspended, the conservative whip suspended, the conservative whip suspended pending an investigation into allegations of what they described as inappropriate behaviour earlier this week. i understand this relates to behaviour at the conservative party conference which was taking place began sunday and on began weinday and on began we don�*tand on began we don�*t know on began we don�*t know when )n began we don�*t know when in the allegations relate that period the allegations relate to. but it does party in it says the prime minister been clear that higher standards has been clear that higher standards in public life might be upheld.
5:03 pm
immediately after there was a statement from number ten. so are statement £4,311} mjh be—teh—sa } e 5.1.7” to statement f=ah1 hj,r-=be—t3n—sa 33 5:33”- to say statemmtfmm hj,r-=be—t3n—sa 33 5:33”- to say that, very quick response to say that, burns has lost his as the minister. has been to leave immediate eave 33 33.333: statement has a warding. describing a different wording, describing a complaint of serious misconduct. i understand the complaint was made to the parliamentary whip�*s office. we don�*t have any further details on the investigation and conor burns himself is yet to respond to a request for comment. but liz truss wants to be seen to be acting very quickly to address these allegations of inappropriate behaviour, certainly compared to her predecessor who was criticised for the time taken to respond to allegations of inappropriate behaviour by another mp. i5 allegations of inappropriate behaviour by another mp. is this downin: behaviour by another mp. is this downing street _ behaviour by another mp. is this downing street trying _ behaviour by another mp. is this downing street trying to - behaviour by another mp. is this downing street trying to look . behaviour by another mp. is this i downing street trying to look quite different from boris johnson downing street trying to look quite different from borisjohnson in
5:04 pm
terms of the action it takes and how serious it takes these allegations? it shows a decisive response. it was within minutes of the news coming out that he had had the whip suspended, liz truss�* team put out the statement saying he had been asked to leave government immediately. so even though there is an investigation under way and though it has been suspended pending that allegation, liz truss has decided to ask conor burns to leave the government immediately. he has been a minister in the northern ireland office, now he is a minister in the department for international trade, but the statement goes on to say the prime minister took direct action on being informed of this and it is clear ministers maintain high standards of behaviour is the public expect. even though they are just allegations at this stage, liz truss felt it necessary to act quickly. but no response from conor burns, but as it stands, he has lost his

5:06 pm
of health. a source at the department of health has suggested that actually they don�*t believe they had any specific role in that decision, but they have suggested there is broad concern that any campaign might confuse or frighten the elderly into reducing their energy to the point that there could be health issues. for some reaction to this, let�*s talk to the head of policy at energy saving trust, stew horne. what you make of this, it is a little bit confusing, it seems like there was a campaign ready to go but downing street didn�*t wanted to go ahead. downing street didn't wanted to go ahead. . , , downing street didn't wanted to go ahead. . ,, ., ., ahead. perhaps at the risk of confusing — ahead. perhaps at the risk of confusing some _ ahead. perhaps at the risk of confusing some members . ahead. perhaps at the risk of confusing some members of| ahead. perhaps at the risk of. confusing some members of the population on whether or not they should cut down their energy use? we do should cut down their energy use? - do think the government should be thinking about how to help people reduce the amount of energy they use. perhaps notjust people in
5:07 pm
their homes, but businesses and the public sector, too. just like the french have recently announced. we are seeing countries across europe, given this very difficult winter it had set out plans for reducing demand. the european commission has but at the target of 5% reduction across all member states. public awareness campaigns, a key part of many of these plans. we know energy saving advice is important. a recent poll early in september showed that 65% of the population are in favour of advice to the use less energy at certain times will stop that can be quite simple and effective. in california, text messaging helps avoid a major power cut. it is concerned the government support this public information. we know first hand through the services we provide across the uk, that advice has a real impact. we think there is an urgent need to see the creation
5:08 pm
of an energy advice service. that could save people millions of pounds and could significantly reduce demand and lower the risk of the blackout that everybody is talking about. d0 blackout that everybody is talking about. 3, ,, blackout that everybody is talking about. ,, ., ~' blackout that everybody is talking about. ., ~ ., about. do you not think that given our energy — about. do you not think that given our energy bills — about. do you not think that given our energy bills are _ about. do you not think that given our energy bills are soaring, - about. do you not think that given | our energy bills are soaring, people are already going to be cutting their use of energy this winter? yes, people will be responding to the high prices they are seeing. it is also important to get the right advice and the way to do it and in a way it is safe and works for their circumstances. that is something the public can do to be aware that the positive things they can do and some of the things that are not so positive that they should be avoiding doing. and impartial advice can do that in the way people trust and respond to. that is really important. the cheapest energy that we have is the energy we don�*t use at all. if we can help people to lower their demand there is a big
5:09 pm
win. the best way we can do this is improve energy efficiency in homes. we have some of the draft list and poorest performing homes in europe. if we got those up to standard, that would determinedly reduce the heating demand that is needed for each home by about 20%. it is a big saving that is possible for us to achieve. ., ~ , ., , . we will talk about how the italian government is dealing with this issue. it has signed a decree introducing new limits and new times for gas heating over the coming winter to help cope with the energy crisis. heating will be limited in both settings and times in many public and private buildings. the italian public have been asked to turn down central heating byi degrees and turn it off or an extra hour every day under new energy saving plans. that is according to
5:10 pm
reports. let�*s get the latest from our rome correspondent, mark lowen. it is a different strategy we are seeing are not seen here in the uk? yes, first of all there is a rule that has been brought in yes, first of all there is a rule that has been broug hospitals, yes, first of all there is a rule that hacschs which yhospitals, ~ , , , ~ , ~ yes, first of all there is a rule that hacschs which flees in als, ~ , , , ~ , ~ yes, first of all there is a rule that hacschs which flees in als by , , , ~ , ~ 339133 us3dduring. this winterby 1.5 block, often to all the comeoallthe ” ' " ' come 0 all week 77 ' ' " ' " ' come 0 all week for 77 ' ' " ' " ' period will off earlier. will off earlier. is will off earlier. is i asked off earlier. is! asked to ff earlier. is! asked to go e by er. is! asked to go e by turning is! asked to go e by turning down sked to go e by turning down thei to go e by turning down the heating, further by turning down the heating, the i and by one hour a day. cutting heating by one hour a day. if you the first rule, if if you break the first rule, if
5:11 pm
buildings turn on the heating to early there could be fines of up to 3000 euros, about £2600. it is a carrot and stick approach, which other european countries are doing, germany, france and the like. the european commission has said it wants to reduce energy consumption by gas by 15% by march next year. so eu member states are rushing to try to get there. find eu member states are rushing to try to get there-— to get there. and here, as with the same, to get there. and here, as with the same. downing _ to get there. and here, as with the same, downing street _ to get there. and here, as with the same, downing street don't - to get there. and here, as with the same, downing street don't even l to get there. and here, as with the - same, downing street don't even want same, downing street don�*t even want a public information campaign on this. what has been the reactions from the italians about these measures? i from the italians about these measures?— from the italians about these measures? ., , ., ., ., measures? i was out in rome today and chatting — measures? i was out in rome today and chatting to _ measures? i was out in rome today and chatting to people _ measures? i was out in rome today and chatting to people and - measures? i was out in rome today and chatting to people and getting i measures? i was out in rome today| and chatting to people and getting a sense of how they were reacting and a lot of italians are saying, this is necessary and we can cope with it. if we have to put on an extra sweater at home, get a blanket out of the cupboard then we have got to do that. it is not only they are very aware that gas from russia has absolutely plummeted here. russian gas used to make up 40% of italy�*s
5:12 pm
gas used to make up 40% of italy�*s gas supply before the war. it is now at 10% as italy has weaned itself off dependent on moscow and turning to other suppliers like algeria and liquefied natural gas. they are conscious in the drop of russian gas and environmental health, that would be benefit for emissions to reduce consumption mode. there are those who say that the war in ukraine who say we are feeling it in our pocket, and also in our homes, having to use the heating less. there has been an election here, and the new prime minister, one of her partners from the far right has suggested italy should drop support for continuing sanctions on moscow because it is hitting italians hard. will the public appetite now for continuing to sanction moscow begin to drop, as

5:14 pm
set to be fast—tracked. supporters of the new drilling say this is about improving the uk�*s energy security, reducing our dependence on imported oil and gas. but burning fossil fuels emits the carbon dioxide that already warms our planet. so why are we looking for more? our development of supply is not going to affect our usage. our usage is determined by the framework of the climate change act and the independent climate change committee which informs government policy, so you really can be assured that it�*s actually — i know it sounds contradictory — but it�*s actually good for the environment that we�*re going to produce more of our gas and oil at home, and that you can be confident because of the climate change act and our commitment in law to net zero that we will not be using more oil and gas than is required in that transition. that won�*t reassure climate scientists, who say greenhouse gases are already leading to more extreme
5:15 pm
weather events, like heatwaves and drought. the advice of the united nations and the international energy agency is clear — that if we want to keep temperature rises under 1.5 degrees then there can be no more fossil fuel projects. if you increase supply, so if you drill more oil and gas, then even if we�*re replacing imports we�*re increasing the supply of oil and gas globally and that�*s likely to increase demand globally and therefore emissions. the first of these new north sea licences are expected to be issued early next year. jonah fisher, bbc news. the headlines on bbc news... conservative mp conor burns has been asked to leave government with �*immediate effect�* following a complaint of �*serious misconduct�*

downing street intervenes — and stops a launch of a public information campaign on reducing energy use this winter. a warning from social care providers in england that millions of people could left without support unless there�*s a complete overhaul of the system. a 14—year—old boy has been charged with murder over the fatal stabbing of 14—year—old in gateshead. tomasz oleszak died in the early hours of tuesday after being injured on monday night. scotland�*s first minister nicola sturgeon has accused liz truss of showing arrogance, lack of respect or insecurity for not speaking to her properly since she became prime minister. ahead of the snp party conference, she�*s been speaking to our political editor chris mason, and he started by asking if they�*d even spoken since liz truss came to power. no, not yet.
5:17 pm
it�*s quite absurd in many ways. when i became first minister, david cameron was prime minister and i think we spoke on the phone the night i became first minister and i spoke on the phone with theresa may within a day of her becoming prime minister and ian with theresa may within a day of her becoming prime minister and with theresa may within a day of her becoming prime minister and same with borisjohnson, i�*ve got deep political differences with all of the politicians but we have a duty to work together constructively. it�*s not just me. mark drakeford is in the same position. not even a phone call? no, and i don�*t know whether that is arrogance, lack of respect or insecurity, whatever it is, it�*s not the right way to do government in a grown—up way, so i hope we will see a change. i will do my best to work with liz truss as constructively as possible or whoever comes after her because you can�*t take anything for granted in uk politics these days, but other than an exchange or two during the events for the queen after her death,
5:18 pm
there has been no engagement and i think that is really quite strange. let�*s talk about priorities. and the appetite for independence or an independence referendum soon. polls suggesting just 35% of people in scotland want a referendum in scotland in the next year and you�*ve acknowledged we�*re in the middle of the cost of living crisis, so is at the right priority for you to be talking about a constitutional question right now? sure. in a sense let me divide the sentence into two. i suppose the democratic mandate, polls show support for independence rising so the polls that you cite show that, but i was elected as first minister on a very clear manifesto commitment to have a referendum on the timescale i�*m talking about now and i was elected on a historically high share of the vote on a historically high turnout, so we don�*t need opinion polls to determine the mandate for that and we have an actual election result that does that. secondly, on the question
5:19 pm
of priorities, the constitution and our ability to build the kind of economy and society we want in scotland are not separate. but they are right now because you would be spending time talking about the cost of living and a multitude of other things rather than a referendum. but i don�*t want to talk about the cost of living. i�*m the first minister of scotland and i want to have ability to deal with the causes of the crisis we are facing and to help people more. my power to do so is limited by the constitutional limitation. we have a scottish parliament doing all sorts of things and that would not be there if we had not had a constitutional debate about that. the constitution and economic and social issues are inextricably linked. isn�*t it a central plank of the case for scottish independence is that scotland has repeatedly got conservative governments that they have not voted for and the polls suggests that might not be the case next time. it�*s the underlying problem, it�*s not dependent on scotland what the outcome
5:20 pm
of an election is, so tony blair would still be prime minister even if nobody in scotland had voted labour. liz truss would still be prime minister even if everybody in scotland had voted labour at the last election. so it�*s the fact we don�*t control and don�*t influence. you have to go back when i was three and a half years old for the last time that scottish votes influenced the outcome of the uk election. it�*s that democratic deficit is the fundamental thing sold by independence. i listen to keir starmer and i have a lot of things politically in common, but i hear somebody who strikes me as a lot of the time as desperately trying to appeal to voters in england by being a pale imitation of the tories as opposed to being a really positive radical alternative.

5:22 pm
we are told nobody else was injured or harmed. this afternoon, accordant remains in place on this busy road just to the south of derby city centre while forensic officers carry out their inquiries. derbyshire police says it has referred the incident to the independent office for police conduct, as is standard procedure. irate for police conduct, as is standard procedure-— for police conduct, as is standard rocedure. ~ . , . ., , procedure. we are expecting a news conference with _ procedure. we are expecting a news conference with the _ procedure. we are expecting a news conference with the police _ procedure. we are expecting a news conference with the police in - procedure. we are expecting a news conference with the police in derby | conference with the police in derby in the next few minutes. we will bring that to you live. the irish foreign minister, simon coveney, has said a "new air of positivity has created a flicker of optimism" in talks over the northern ireland protocol. mr coveney held formal bilateral talks with northern ireland secretary chris heaton—harris, who has repeatedly said he would call for an election if power—sharing wasn�*t restored at stormont by october 28. he was asked how that measure would resolve the ongoing deadlock. yes, i have thought it through and i�*ve thought long and hard about it. i mean, i�*m in that wonderful situation that this is the law, as you mentioned in the second part of your question. it�*s primary legislation,
5:23 pm
there�*s a lot going on in british government legislation terms at this point in time. i really don�*t believe as a former chief would be the slot for it, but i�*m under a duty to call an election on the 28th. i think it�*s vitally important that the executive reforms in northern ireland, for all the reasons i�*ve given previously about the quality of public services, the interventions on energy that we need to give and are finding quite difficult to do so in a northern ireland context. we will get there, but it would be much better and much more efficiently delivered by having an executive in place. so i�*m under no illusions as to the issues around it. but yes, i will be calling an election on the 28th of october if we do not have an executive reformed. and i recognize the reality of that and that's that's the law that we're operating within. what i said, i think, reflects what everybody i've spoken to in northern ireland has said
5:24 pm
to me — nobody wants an election. we had an election at the start of the summer. we had a result from that election and people want devolved institutions in northern ireland that can make decisions for families there, for businesses there. they're facing the same pressures that that are being faced across the uk and across the island of ireland in terms of cost of living pressures and so on. so we want to avoid an election if we can. and in the context of not having solved some of the outstanding questions around the protocol, of course, an election means that issues like that will become totem issues again that are likely to divide rather than bring people together. so i think there is a big onus on the secretary of state and myself and others, party leaders and so on, to try and find a way of avoiding that scenario and establishing a functioning executive and assembly. and we know what the different
5:25 pm
parties have said. there are legitimate concerns in every political party in northern ireland that need to be addressed and i hope we can work with them to avoid what i would regard as an unnecessary election by working together to solve some of the outstanding issues that have been around for far too long. glasgow and liverpool will find out later today which of the two cities has been chosen to host the eurovision song contest next may. the spectacular music show will be staged in the uk after this year�*s winner, ukraine, was unable to take up hosting duties because of the war. daniel rosneyjoins me now.
