he insists he's done nothing wrong: what they're doing is election interference, they are trying to interfere with an election. there's never been anything like it in our country before. this is their way of campaigning. energy bills in england, scotland and wales are to fall from october under a new price cap. and the head of the spanish football association is expected to step down after his behaviour at the women's world cup final. after his behaviour at the women's world cup final. hello, i'm gareth barlow. you're watching bbc news. we start in the us — where donald trump has become the first former president to have his mugshot taken. the photograph was released after mr trump was formally charged with election interference — in the state of georgia.

he's one of 19 people accused of racketeering and attempting to overturn the state's election result in 2020. he denies 13 charges. mr trump was quick to post the image on social media as part of his campaign for the republican presidential nomination. he remains the frontrunner. this report from our north america correspondent — sean dilley. a snapshot in history. this is the first mug shot ever taken of anyone accused of committing crimes as us president. it's not the first time donald trump has been booked, but in his three other criminal cases he's been excused photographing. he is, after all, one of the most recognisable people on the planet. fulton county sheriff said that donald trump would be treated like any other prisoner. but if you look over my shoulder here, you can see certainly the security operation is huge. police vehicles, helicopters, drones for blocks around the jail. now, part of that is

because he is a former president. part of that is down to the protesters and counter protesters. these donald trump supporters, among those who believe in the face of all of the evidence to the contrary, thatjoe biden lost the last election. for these trump supporters, it's all part of a sinister plot to rob him of the white house. the rights of americans are being stripped away. today is one of the most obvious, obvious versions of it that are going on when we're putting a former president in jail. he firmly believed, like we did too, the election was not fair, was not transparent. it's lack of integrity. if donald trump was laying on the beach right now, i on his beach playing golf, this wouldn't be - happening behind us. how do you know that? i know it for a fact. how? because i'm an intelligent person. others celebrated. how will history remember donald trump? as a criminal and hopefully a convicted criminal.

if, for some reason he gets to be president, because the dumb people in this country who are not using their brain cells elect him, i am going to fight against it for the next four years. i'm hoping that this gets recorded in history. i'm hoping that this is one of the last times that we have to hear from this individual and the people that he represents. but i'm not sure that it will be. donald trump entered the jailhouse just after 7:30pm local time. he was technically in custody for less than half an hour, released on a $200,000 bond. what has taken place here is a travesty ofjustice. we did nothing wrong, i did nothing wrong. this will be a day america remembers. the first of a kind photograph destined for museum walls and the history books. sean dilley, bbc news, in fulton county georgia.

let's ask christopher carman, a professor at the school of social and political sciences at the university of glasgow. it isa it is a remarkable image, that mugshot. i'm interested to see what you think it will do for donald trump, both domestically and internationally?— trump, both domestically and internationally? trump, both domestically and internationall ? , , ., internationally? domestically we are auoin to internationally? domestically we are going to see — internationally? domestically we are going to see a _ internationally? domestically we are going to see a big — internationally? domestically we are going to see a big split _ internationally? domestically we are going to see a big split in _ internationally? domestically we are going to see a big split in the - going to see a big split in the polls. we haven't had any policy yet, since he turned himself into the courthouse, but you can imagine that, just as you are showing in the clip, republicans are going to have a very different view of that mugshot, and the indictment against trump. democrats will take a rather opposite view. we know for instance that 63%, roughly speaking, of republicans now say that they would like donald trump to continue running. that is up from the low to mid 50s back in april. his support

is actually only improving and solidifying amongst certainly the hard core republican potential voters in the primary elections who will vote him potentially to be the republican nominee. for democrats it is pretty clear that democrats, as we just saw, are is pretty clear that democrats, as wejust saw, are rather opposed is pretty clear that democrats, as we just saw, are rather opposed to trump continuing to run for president. trump continuing to run for president-— trump continuing to run for president. , . trump continuing to run for president. ,. ., president. preparing, fighting for one course _ president. preparing, fighting for one course to _ president. preparing, fighting for one course to their— president. preparing, fighting for one course to their cases - president. preparing, fighting for one course to their cases plenty l president. preparing, fighting for. one course to their cases plenty of work. he has got four of them. at the same time he is trying to become the same time he is trying to become the republican presidential candidates for the presidential election is coming up next year. how does he manage those two conflicting pulls on his time, or these indictments to the heavy lifting for him with regard to the nominations? it is going to be quite difficult. they do provide him some support for the nomination, that republicans see this as an attack, notjust on trump, but on them personally. it is

going to be extremely difficult for the campaign and his legal defence team, and the courts, to figure out how to sequence all of these. we can expect that to be some informal discussion between the judges overseeing the different trials, about how to sequence them. the other thing we can expect is the trump legal team will do their best to push as many of these cases back past the election in november 2024 as they can. that seems to be one of the key strategic elements of the trump campaign and legal defence are undertaking, with the hope, as has been widely reported, that he can impart himself from the federal cases, but not the georgia case. that he couldn't do anything. should he be elected in november 2024 he couldn't do anything about that continuing.

couldn't do anything about that continuing-— couldn't do anything about that continuinu. . ~' ., ., continuing. thank you for “oining us. energy prices in england, wales and scotland are set to fall. the price cap — that's the cost per unit of energy — for millions of households, is set by the regulator, 0fgem. from october, a typical household's annual bill will be reduced — it will still be higher than in the winter of 2021. but — there will no longer be any government support for the bills. so let's take a closer look at some of those figures. a typical household currently pays £2,074 a year on its gas and electricity bill. according to the regulator 0fgem, that will fall to £1,923 between october and december. in the united states, according to official statistics, the average household pays around $2,300 dollars a year. that's more than $50 less than in england, scotland and wales, although the price fluctuates on a state—by—state basis.

the chief executive of the energy regulater 0fgem, jonathan brearley, explained why the price cap is coming down. what we do as a regulator is we look at the costs that the energy companies need to spend to get the energy their customers need. and we make sure through our formulae that that is reasonably reflected in the prices that they pay. and so, in essence, the price cap is a maximum the companies can charge to make sure that they're not charging unfair prices over and above that. now, what we're announcing today is a £150 drop in that cap. now, right now, that applies to most households and of course, for everyone that will be a step in the right direction. but we all need to recognise that although that cap has come down, this is still much higher than prices pre—2021 when the gas crisis hit. and that is simply because we have a much tighter international market. the price of gas and the price of electricity are still much higher than they used to be. and unfortunately that is reflected in our bills. people will obviously be grateful

for that reduction in the cap, but i'm sure viewers will be thinking, "could it not have gone further?" "could it not have been reduced even more?" sure, and of course, we do everything we can to keep bills low, but we have to allow companies to be able to recover their costs, because if we don't do that, we know what happens. we saw it in 2021. those failures that result, those financial failures when those companies go bust, leave customers paying billions of pounds. so what we're trying to do here is make sure we do charge the absolute lowest cost today, but also that we keep bills low for the future. and that's the balance we're trying to strike when we make this kind of change. today to october, can you give any indication to people what the ongoing trend is looking like? well, i mean, the gas market is more stable than it was last year, you'll remember. i think i was on this programme, certainly talking to the bbc last year about the prospect of £3,500 and £4,000 prices per year for customers because the gas market had gone through the roof.

so things are more stable now. prices are coming down, but i'm afraid things are still volatile, so it's very hard to predict the future. let me just give you one example. there was even just a threat of a strike in australia for one gas plant and that threat of a strike drove up prices by 30%. now, we've heard that strike may well be off and prices have come down again, but itjust shows you how sensitive this market is. so i'd love to be on this programme telling you that prices are going to come down again. but that's not something i can say given the uncertainty we see in front of us. let's bring in our political correspondent, iain watson. what political reaction have we seen so far, iain? perhaps unsurprisingly, the prime minister has welcomed this. he thinks that the prices are now going on the right direction. he had a pledge to halve inflation so he thinks this is contributing to it. he is fairly upbeat when he talked about the new price cap ending this

morning. about the new price cap ending this morninu. ., ., , about the new price cap ending this morninu. ., , , ., morning. today is good news for families on _ morning. today is good news for families up and _ morning. today is good news for families up and down _ morning. today is good news for families up and down the - morning. today is good news for| families up and down the country with a reduction in the price cap today is really good news for families up and down the country and down the country with a reduction in the energy price cap that's going to reduce, on average, a typical family's energy bill by about £150, easing the burden on the cost of living. and we took decisive action after putin's illegal war to help families by imposing a windfall tax on energy companies, using that money to provide about £1,500 of support to a typical household. but i know things are still tough, and that's why we are working night and day to bring down inflation so that the money in people's pockets can go further. he acknowledge things will be tough and he may not get quite the political benefit from this, largely from what he did in the past. the government made a large intervention as prices soared last year. that meant that they cap the price of energy at two and half thousand pounds. there was another £400 given

to people in a series of instalments. this brought bills down to £2100. if you get a typical bill now, from october, around 1900, that isn't a massive reduction. what he didn't say was that, while the unit price of energy was being capped, another part of people's bills, the standing charges that are always paid for instant infrastructure and so on, these are actually going up. the gap between what people paid last winter and what they will pay this winter might be quite narrow. people will obviously be influenced by how they feel about their energy bills, rather than weathered and things are simply moving in the right direction. there has been political reaction from opposition parties. both labour and the liberal democrats are saying that they ought to be a proper windfall tax. the current when full tax has got too many loopholes and if more money came from energy companies, then these bills could be reduced further. there is a wider debate to about what happens longer term, about what happens longer term, about the cost of energy, because at

the moment, the price cap is way above, even the reduced price cap, is way above where it was just before ukraine war, around £1300. if energy prices are likely to remain high, there has to be a different solution. certain the opposition parties are saying that more homes need to be inflated more quickly and they should also be a move towards greener energy produced here in the uk. let's bring in anne pardoe, from citizens advice. thank you for your time. i want to pick up comments that citizens advice was making yesterday, warning that thousands more people will start the winter behind on their energy bills, or having to have borrowing to help pay for them. with that in mind, what is your take on the lowering of today's cap? it the lowering of today's cap? it really welcome news that the price cap has come down again today. but the reality is that households will

pay around the same, or even slightly more than they did last winter, as government support has fallen away. at citizens advice were no bills of this level are simply unaffordable for many low—income households. record numbers of people have come in for help because they are behind with their energy bills. we expect that number to continue to rise unless the government acts and provides additional support for those in the lowest incomes. what those in the lowest incomes. what can people — those in the lowest incomes. what can people do _ those in the lowest incomes. what can people do if — those in the lowest incomes. what can people do if they _ those in the lowest incomes. what can people do if they are _ can people do if they are struggling? what help and support is available to them? if struggling? what help and support is available to them?— available to them? if you are worried about _ available to them? if you are worried about your _ available to them? if you are worried about your energy i available to them? if you are l worried about your energy bill, available to them? if you are - worried about your energy bill, the first thing to do is to contact your energy supplier. they have a lot of schemes in place that can provide support to people and can also agree an affordable repayment band. if you're still worried you can contact citizens advice online, over the phone, or in person, where our advisers are ready to talk you through your situation and find out what support is available for you. with regards to the upcoming winter, what is the outlook for households

people £150. we would like to see the amount of this increase for this year, and also, at the moment, not everyone who needs support is eligible, so we would like to see the number of people receiving warm home discount increase this year. however the government takes action, they can't just stand however the government takes action, they can'tjust stand by, they need to get that additional support in place. also we can't continue to make these calls every winter. we have been calling for the government to bring in longer term support for those on the lowest incomes, so we can get ourselves out of this annual cycle of people needing emergency support right ahead of the winter. from citizens advice, thank you so much. fortips from citizens advice, thank you so much. for tips on how to save money and other help with the cost of living, go to the tackling together section on bbc news. just want to bring you some breaking

following sunday's world cup when, for example, the fact that he had grabbed his crotch when he celebrated spain's win. he said he shouldn't have done that and apologise for it. he also addressed theissue apologise for it. he also addressed the issue of the case that he gave the issue of the case that he gave the player who has been at the centre of this over the last few days. he insisted that this kiss was consensual. he said it was not nonconsensual, there was nothing wrong with it, and so in that sense, he has been rather defiant, so far, during his address. we don't know what is coming next. obviously he's going to continue talking. the expectation was that he would possibly resign during this meeting. he hasn't done so yet and has taken this rather defiant stance. we don't know what will happen next but we are expecting him to formalise his resignation at some point today. it resignation at some point today. it seems remarkable that he is striking defiant tone, given the litany of

incidents that happened around the world cup, like you said, grabbing his groin, the kissing, comments made in the team dressing room after the game as well. what does spain say all about thismight what do spanish society say? pail say all about thismight what do spanish society say?— spanish society say? all of this comes against _ spanish society say? all of this comes against the _ spanish society say? all of this comes against the backdrop, i comes against the backdrop, political backdrop, where issues like sexual consent and gender equality have been at the centre of debate. these issues have been talked about a lot, in particular by the socialist led government of pedro sanchez. notjust talked about. the government has introduced about. the government has introduced a raft of reforms in those areas. these are things which are at the centre of public debate at the moment. in that sense i think this was a terrible moment for luis rubiales to behave like that. the backlash was inevitable. the

hello again. as we go through the next few days, the forecast is sunshine and also some scattered showers, some of which will be heavy and thundery. and that certainly is the case today. the other thing about today's forecast is we are losing the humidity levels that we have had in the far south—east of england. so variable amounts of cloud, some sunny spells and some showers. more showers developing as we go through the course of the afternoon. the driest conditions will be in the south—eastern quarter of the country. we can't totally rule out a shower here, but the heaviest ones with potentially a rumble of thunder will be across the north of scotland. temperatures, 14 to 21 degrees, feeling fresher in the south—east than it has done in the last few days. if you are off to the reading or leeds festival, there is the chance of a shower today. if you catch one, it could be thundery more particularly in reading, but we can't rule out showers even through the next few days for both festivals. so into this evening and overnight, we hang on to the showers

in the north and the west where they could be heavy and thundery, we'll see some sharp showers moving along the south coast of england. in between, some clear skies and a cool night, in fact, in sheltered glens, temperatures fall away to about 7 degrees. so, into tomorrow, we lose the showers quite quickly from the south—east. we'll hang on to the showers across scotland and northern ireland. more showers will develop more widely across england and wales and some of those will prove to be heavy and thundery. in between, again, we are looking bright spells and sunny skies. highs, 15 to 21, north to south. that leads us into sunday. we start with some showers across central and eastern areas, and lot of dry weather, some sunshine, a weak weather front will bring more cloud with some spots of rain into northern ireland through the day. potentially getting as far east as western scotland. these are the temperatures, 14 to 20 degrees. and for monday, if you have the day off, our weak weather front continues to drift steadily eastwards, not much more on it than a band of cloud and the odd spot of rain.

on either side of it, we are looking at some brighter skies and highs between 14 and 21 degrees. and, of course, the notting hill carnival is on this weekend as well. the forecast for that, well, during the course of sunday, we are not immune to a shower, but it is looking much drier as we head on into monday, with highs of 21 degrees.
