as the east african nation is in the grip of its worst drought for a0 years. prince william awards the earthshot prize — recognising those working to address climate change. at the expense of uruguay. hello and welcome if you're watching in the uk or around the world. western allies have agreed to put a cap on the price of russian oil. the g7 group of nations, as well as australia and the european union, have decided that no country should pay more than $60 a barrel — slightly below the current price of $64.
11:02 am
the us says it will "immediately cut into vladimir putin's most "important source of revenue". louisa pilbeam reports. the latest russian missile strike in kharkiv. more destruction and suffering in a war that is showing no sign of ending. but a move by the g7 — the world's seven largest advanced economies — australia and the european union, to cap the price of russian oil is hoped to bring an end this war closer. they've agreed to restrict the price of russian oil at $60 a barrel — hoping to wound russia with another financial sanction. this price cap has three objectives. first, it strengthens the effect of our sanction. second, it will further diminish russia's revenues. and thirdly, at the same time, it will stabilise global energy markets.
11:03 am
the limit will come in on monday, after the eu persuaded poland to back the plan after warsaw initially considered it too high. and some market experts believe it's more of a symbol of rebellion against the kremlin, than a realistic financial weapon. they want one measure in place to suddenly contribute to that discount being bigger, but not as large as some wanted, and the fact it has taken the eu so long to agree on a cap is because some countries which tend to be hawkish on russian wanted that cap to be much lower. other experts say sanctions like this are hurting russia, but president vladimir putin is still making huge amounts of money through oil. the kremlin denounced the scheme, saying it would not supply those countries which enforced a price cap. before the war, more than half of russia's oil exports went to europe, but russia has found new markets in india and china — and new money to fund its war.
11:04 am
louisa pilbeam, bbc news. joining me now is mikhail krutikhin, a russian oil and gas analyst. thanks very much forjoining us. what's of impact practising this price cut will have?— price cut will have? basically, i think the biggest _ price cut will have? basically, i think the biggest impact - price cut will have? basically, i think the biggest impact of - price cut will have? basically, i think the biggest impact of the i think the biggest impact of the russian revenues from oil will be felt on monday when the g7 and the eu and australia stop altogether 100% important russian crude oil and that will mean that russia will lose maybe over 2 million barrels per day of its oil exports, almost half of the oil exports it had last year. the remaining volume, this missing
11:05 am
volume will be very hard to replace the russia because, well, china is not going to absorb a lot of oil over the government volumes. it has some bottlenecks, transportation infrastructure. it doesn't allow for infrastructure. it doesn't allow for in case of oil exports to china. what about india? will russia look, if not to china to india to sell more oil? is that a solution? yes, it is one of — more oil? is that a solution? yes, it is one of two — more oil? is that a solution? yes, it is one of two countries, - more oil? is that a solution? yes, it is one of two countries, india i it is one of two countries, india and turkey where russia hopes to sell more oil but they cannot sell 2 million barrels a day of additional oil and there is very strong competition, for example of aki was the largest oil supplier to india already suggests that its oil could be traded at discounts of the russian price so the competition is very big and in terms of
11:06 am
infrastructure and transportation end routes a volume of oil up the volume will be increased to india but not to the extent which can shake the current very dangerous balance for russia.— shake the current very dangerous balance for russia. ukraine would like the cap _ balance for russia. ukraine would like the cap to _ balance for russia. ukraine would like the cap to be _ balance for russia. ukraine would like the cap to be lower— balance for russia. ukraine would like the cap to be lower still? - balance for russia. ukraine would like the cap to be lower still? to i like the cap to be lower still? to think that might happen if the cap was lowered what impact mind i have? the cat might be lower for natural reasons. now, the buyers of russian oil including india insist on very huge discounts and last week some of the... russian oil on the baltic with oil that was valued not at 60 but it 52 dollars per barrel and there are other sensitive issues for russia, for example the freight costs of... almost doubled since the beginning of the war and i don't
11:07 am
think that commercially russia is going to capitalise on the relatively large cap for the press. just very briefly, russia is saying this will endanger the energy security of the eu and the g7. have they got enough energy supply to replace what they are not going to take from russia?— replace what they are not going to take from russia? right now, there is no shortage _ take from russia? right now, there is no shortage of— take from russia? right now, there is no shortage of oil— take from russia? right now, there is no shortage of oil supply - take from russia? right now, there is no shortage of oil supply in - take from russia? right now, there is no shortage of oil supply in the i is no shortage of oil supply in the world. even the profits are about 1.5 million barrels per day and such members of 0pec plus and 0pec in saudi media have potential enough to replace the lines russian oil —— 0pec in saudi arabia. health officials are urging parents to look out for the symptoms of scarlet fever, after six children in england and wales died
11:08 am
from the bacteria that causes it. infections are normally mild and treated with antibiotics and while still uncommon, there has been an increase in group a strep cases this year, particularly in children under 10. professor beate kampmann is professor of paediatric infection and immunity from the london school of hygiene and tropical medicine. she said it's important to state that it's very unusual for strep a to cause serious illness many of us carry group a strep in our noses and often it's completely asymptomatic and some people get tonsillitis and then some, especially children, progress to scarlet fever, which is a more systemic infection that includes producing a toxin that, sort of, gives this rash and the fever. now, it's absolutely rare that this bacteria becomes what we call invasive. so, when we are talking about invasive group a strep, and this is unfortunately what's happened in the children who have died, and it is obviously tragic, but it is an extremely rare occurrence. now, some of the symptoms, like fever, are common to lots of childhood ailments, aren't they? so what should parents and carers
11:09 am
look out for that is unique to strep a or any infections that it can cause? yeah, so this is obviously critical because many children get a sore throat, especially at the moment when we have so many viruses circulating, as well, and the vast majority is due to viral illnesses. so the rash is very pathognomonic, orvery typical. it feels a bit like sandpaper and it's a sort of red, very finely raised rash which is sometimes hard to spot, depending on skin tone, as well. i hardly ever encourage people to look at pictures of rashes on the internet, but the rash for scarlet fever is fairly typical, so i would take the opportunity to familiarise myself with the picture, because it's hard to describe. and if in doubt, check it out. yeah. are any other groups susceptible to this, apart from young children? yeah, so especially people over 75
11:10 am
appear to be having a higher rate of scarlet infections at the moment, and when we look at the reporting data from the uk hsa, we can see that especially in the group of people over 75 and in children between one and four and five and nine, the numbers of infections have gone up, so the bacterium has been isolated from throat swabs. that doesn't mean people are at high risk of getting invasive infection, but if we have much more infection going out there, of course we need to keep an eye on people not deteriorating with scarlet fever. at what point should additional medical help or should additional medical advice be sought? so if someone has a child or is an adult who's concerned about a very sore throat that is not settling down with a high fever, the child being lethargic, and especially if not getting better after penicillin, antibiotics have been started, then they should seek medical attention. parents usually have a good gut feeling for their worry about their children, and we encourage them then to seek help.

11:15 am
daniela relph. a green carpet for the earthshot arrivals. it was sustainable glamour where everywhere you looked, and that included from the royals. the princess of wales was wearing a dress she hired for the night, and the jewellery once belonged to princess diana. the event was a final engagement on their visit to boston, and the centrepiece of this trip. launched by the prince of wales, it is now one of the most significant projects he supports. it encourages me to see that the prince and princess are taking action on this. there's so many things that they could support but they know, they have children, their children's future, it's right across the board, you could be a royal, you could be a prince, a princess, but if we don't have an earth in the future, there's none of that, even. i've had a few conversations with prince william regarding the environment, regarding climate change. we talked about earthshot at the bond premiere, actually. just kept the conversation going. so, so much.
11:16 am
famous faces and friends of the couple. many came to take part in the ceremony that honoured the most innovative and ambitious ideas to self the biggest environmental problems. it's my hope the earthshot legacy will continue to grow, helping our communities and our planet to thrive. after a tricky week, the prince and princess of wales will be relieved to have ended their trip to america on a positive note here at the awards ceremony. but it has all been a reminder that this is going to be a difficult and exposing time for the royalfamily. events this week have at times overtaken the planned schedule, the trailer for harry and meghan's new series on netflix released right in the middle of this trip. but the approach of the prince and princess of wales has been to try to avoid distraction and focus on thejob in hand.

11:24 am
japanese fans, so many of the teams who have had wonderful upset wins in recent matches and now australia will be taking on leonel messi and co and we have live sites all of industry and some of those sites including in sydney people are staying all night and we have live sites of industry and some of those sites of industry and some of those sites including in sydney people are staying overnight expect them to be staying overnight expect them to be staying for the game at six. studio: lets talk about some of the surprises that tournament has thrown up surprises that tournament has thrown up because there has been a number of games now where the underdogs on paper have actually won. obviously australia against argentina. you know, australia aren't the underdogs in this game but will they be taking heart from all of the surprise wins? no question they will end australia has beaten argentina in the past. of course, they didn't have lionel messi but even back in 1983 they had the great diego maradona of the times even those smaller nations who are not fancied in the world cups
11:25 am
have taken big steps in this tournament, no question about it. other they have kind of taken steps backwards in terms of the former football. japan used want to take on spain and take on germany and taken the biggest nations in the world and now they are very much plain counterattack football, as has australia in the sediment and career. it is the first time that three asian nations have made a round of 16 so it is a significant step forward for the globalisation of football but they are very much older than is on the counterattack, conceding the bill to teams that i guess in the last ten years, let's say, have copied gladiolus football —— pep guardiola style football and focused on defending as you have heard from the german players and able to profit on the counterattack. usually on the second half and late in the game with a lot of highly skilled and very quick players so australia will be hoping to profit i think from the same strategy against argentina and some man standing coaching decisions and good

11:27 am
today for eastern scotland and eastern areas of england. one or two will cross the midlands into east wales but west wales and north—west england having the best of this afternoon's sunshine. wherever you are, it is going to feel quite chilly. temperatures 7—8 degrees, with those easterly winds making it feel a little bit chillier than that. the cloud will thicken up enough at times to bring some patchy rain to the north—west of scotland. but overnight, that will tend to pull back out of the way. showers continue to feed in and with it being quite a chilly night, cold enough for some patches of frost in the countryside, there is a threat of seeing one or two icy surfaces on untreated roads and pavements first thing sunday morning. sunday will see more of those showers. again, brisk easterly winds making it feel quite cold. but this time for northern ireland and western scotland, i think you have a better chance of seeing a brighter day overall with a bit more in the way of sunshine. cold, though, 6—7 degrees pretty widely across the country. into monday's forecast, the wind still coming in from an easterly direction but we do have a little ridge of high pressure which will tend to kill some of the showers. the showers not as widespread. the best of the day's sunny spells across western areas of the country. temperatures, well, we are looking at 8—9 degrees across parts
11:28 am
of eastern england, but signs of things starting to turn a bit colder across the far north, and that is just a sign of things to come. deeper into next week, high pressure builds over greenland which sends cold northerly winds plummeting across the whole of the uk. with that will come the first snowfall of winter for a number of you, particularly across northern scotland. i think we could see some accumulating snow potentially causing one or two issues, and certainly ice will be a hazard. further southwards, temperatures struggle. there will be a widespread frost with temperatures not getting much above freezing, and don't rule out the threat of a few wintry showers as well.
