we are competing with the rest of the world, the rest of europe for gas supplies. unfortunately, it is the reality. price comparison sites, which historically talk about how much we can save you by switching. the reality is that is not there at the moment, and very few people for the whole of this year, really, have been in a position where they would be able to save, compared to last year. steel producers confirmed they halted production at times of high demand, showing that industry, as well as consumers, is feeling the impact of rising costs. some of the heat was drawn from the crisis yesterday when russia said it would increase gas supplies to europe, helping to limit the latest surge in wholesale gas prices. but it hasn't ended calls for the uk government to step in. the business secretary will be expected to address concerns of the energy sector today. but then also the worries of businesses and consumers in the weeks to come. 0ur our business correspondence victoria fritz said the situation is our business correspondence victoria fritz said the situation is

about europe's first mission to mercury. hello and welcome to bbc news. the metropolitan police has explained how it intends to better protect women and girls following the murder of sarah everard. yesterday, wayne couzens a serving officer with the met was given a whole life prison term for kidnapping, raping and killing the marketing executive in march. the head of the force, dame cressida dick, has faced repeated calls to resign — but she says lessons will be learnt. let's look at how the met is trying to reassure the public. anyone stopped by a lone plain clothes police officer can challenge their legitimacy. the met says those detained by one can ask "where are your colleagues" and "where have you come from?" and can request to speak to an operator on a police radio to check if the officer is genuine. an extra 650 new officers will patrol busy public areas in london where women have concerns about their safety. and plain—clothes officers will not be deployed on their own, and will be in pairs. but serious questions

and they reveal how a prominent donor to the conservative party was involved in one of europe's biggest corruption scandals. andy verity reports. the offshore dealings of presidents, prime ministers and royalty are revealed in almost 12 million files obtained by the international consortium of investigativejournalists. they reveal the secrets of world leaders, from the king ofjordan to vladimir putin, to tony blair. before he came to power, the then labour leader attacked the offshore system that allowed wealthy people to to gain tax advantages unavailable to most of us. millionaires with the right accountant pay nothing, whilst pensioners pay vat on fuel. 0ffshore trusts get tax relief while homeowners pay vat on insurance premiums. we will create a tax system that is fair, which is related to ability to pay. years later, in 2017, tony and cherie blair bought this townhouse in central london for £6.45 million. but rather than buy the house as you or i would, they bought the offshore company that owned it, saving more than £300,000 in stamp duty. that doesn't look great, and it partly

there have been many stops across europe. it takes you back when you see the physical reaction that we're getting, but also she's amazingly evocative. so, she's doing herjob. she has provoked strong feelings. in rome, the pope came out to meet her, but not everywhere has been quite so welcoming. especially at one stop in greece. people were stoning a puppet arriving? people were stoning a puppet arriving, which is nothing we expected, and feeling very strongly about it as well, shouting at her with everything they had. and here on the kent coast, which sees regular migrant arrivals along the shore, there is considerable local debate. this man is a ukip councillor, and he wasn't going to be meeting little amal. the event that's taking place in folkestone today is all about raising awareness, about being welcoming to refugees. you would rather folkestone was less welcoming? personally, yes. but i would welcome them if they came over here with a passport or equivalent documentation. but by folkestone harbour, the crowds were out

and we have just seen petrol rise by 15p a litre in most of europe. so this is well within the bounds of possibility. but politicians have to be bold enough to grab that and to make that happen. so what this summit needs to do is good into actions, notjust evasive promises, countries need to work together to make definite plans, with dates and amounts of carbon dioxide decreased and captured. and those plans, i think, should be published every year. a five year gap between the ratchet is too slow and we need to get faster, faster and accelerate.— faster and accelerate. yes, it gives a very important — faster and accelerate. yes, it gives a very important point _ faster and accelerate. yes, it gives a very important point and - faster and accelerate. yes, it gives a very important point and mark. a very important point and mark carney, the former governor of the bank of england, now a un envoy corralling world finances, talked about this and when we talked about how he is going to get money behind it. can i talk to about the technicalities and do e

i think if you look at the rest of europe, nowhere else in europe generally is having to ask people to take a test once you actually arrive in the country. so i think it deftly puts it in line with other european nations. and it is a really positive move. people have been really confused over the last few months as to which tests they had to win they had to take them. the removal of the predeparture had to take them. the removal of the predepa rtu re test had to take them. the removal of the predeparture test which we had to had to take to get back in the uk was another really positive step forward because for a lot of people, they wouldn't worry about going on holiday, what happens if i catch covid while i am abroad or do i have to quarantine abroad? it was yet another worry that was taken away and hopefully will encourage more people to book. the and hopefully will encourage more people to book-— and hopefully will encourage more people to book. the pcr tests have been coming _ people to book. the pcr tests have been coming down _ people to book. the pcr tests have been coming down

injuly, england became the first nation in europe to fully unlock. other countries have followed, but they have taken a more cautious approach. as this graph shows, the uk has one of the highest covid rates in europe, well above that of france and germany, but if you look at the daily covid deaths, while the uk is still higher, a real concern for health leaders, the gap between the countries shrinks. this is an example of the power of the vaccination programme, providing vital protection to those most at risk. how will we cope this winter? the government hopes vaccines will protect us this winter, with more than two million booster jabs administered in england alone. to protect schoolchildren, where infections are highest, covid jabs are being rolled out to over 12s, while the flu vaccine is available to under 16s. logistical problems, staff shortages and issues with obtaining consent have caused delays, potentially until the end of november, and prompting calls for other measures like face coverings to be brought in. vaccination will help eventually

joe biden, on this trip to europe, wants to show that america is leading the world on tackling climate change. but his 85—vehicle convoy — most of which were flown in from the us — may not be leading by example or, in this holy city, practising what you preach. jon sopel, bbc news, rome. after meeting the pope, president biden went on for talks with his french counterpart emmanuel macron. relations between the us and france had been strained since washington announced a security deal with australia and the uk. the aukus deal to sell submarines to australia sidelined france and was said to have cost the country billions. president macron said they were rebuilding confidence while president biden admitted things could have been done better. what happened was, to use an english phrase, what we did was clumsy. it was not done with a lot of grace. it was was under the impression certain things had happened that had not happened and, but i want to make it clear france is an extremely, extremely valuable partner. let's discuss this with a visiting fellow at the centre on the united stat

across europe have gathered a lot of respect. in europe there is probably a greater appreciation of what we have done in the way we have played that there has been here. that is reassuring because you want the respect of your peers and i think they have recognised where we have been over the last 30 years or so and there are signs that we are starting to show and the ability of the players to play in a certain style. chelsea midfielder mason mount could feature later, fresh from his place on the shortlist of nominees for football's prestigious ballon d'0r. he joins the likes of lionel messi and cristiano ronaldo, alongside harry kane, raheem sterling and phil foden, who are also nominated. not that he expects to win it. it was special. i probably found out exactly the same time as everyone else. to see that and to see the names, to be alongside those names, it is obviously a dream and i think for all the years that you work hard, dedicate, then you see something like that, you can see that it pays off. and it's just a start, it d

this is our first investment in electrified components in europe. and 500 people we have in halewood today, and this will really secure the future of those jobs for the foreseeable future. so, great news for the people in halewood. it is a small part of ford's plan to go electric, a £230 million investment, some of which is government money. it's also spending billions on two plants in the usa, in kentucky and tennessee. but it comes on the back of nissan investing £1 billion in its factory in sunderland. building up more than 600 jobs. the plan see the construction of a gigerfactory, the giant battery facility which makes up such an important part of the manufacture of electric cars. the more investments we have like that, the more it will draw in other components into the electric vehicle supply chain. we are in the transition phase from internal combustion to electric. once you start the momentum, like with this investment, it will attract more companies in. the owner of vauxhall is also investing 100 million at its plant in ellesmere port. but

it's part of plans to make its entire passenger vehicle line—up in europe electric by 2030. we can speak to our business correspondent katie prescott. how much does this investment by ford help them to achieve that aim? it is really significant for halewood but also the transformation of the car industry as a whole. it's not long now until 2030, which is when petrol and diesel cars with traditional internal combustion engines will not be sold in the uk. there was a question over what would happen to this plant which made gearboxes for petrol cars. the fact it is going to be part of the electric vehicle market going forward has been seen as a vote of confidence for the uk car industry as a whole, as we move through this strange transitional period. i think we can hearfrom strange transitional period. i think we can hear from stuart rowley, the president of ford europe about this investment. this is our first investment in electrified components in europe and these power units, these are the components that take the energy from the battery and turn that into traction to drive

the move is part of a bid to expand its international operation into mainland europe. germany willjoin the uk, which has successfully hosted games in london since 2007. the league is due to play its 30th game in the capital on sunday when the jacksonville jaguars face the miami dolphins at tottenham hotspur stadium. the powers that be in golf are proposing to limit the distance of drives, by shortening the length of clubs used. any club, other than a putter, can be a maximum 48 inches in length, but this would be reduced to 46 inches under planned new rules. at the recent ryder cup, the american bryson dechambeau smashed a drive 417 yards to leave a 72 yard second shot at the par five fifth hole at whistling straits. more on that and all of the world cup qualifying action you can head to the bbc sport website. and that's all the sport for now. hello. there were some bright spots on tuesday. some of us got to see a bit of sunshine. but for many places, extensive cloud was the main weather feature, spilling down from the northwest, thick enough at times to produce some s

it has since levelled up to be one of the most productive regions in europe. stoke poges new store of course have its problems, but they are overwhelmingly caused by the sheer lust of other people to live in or near stoke poges. too little time with the kids, the constant anxiety that you're a memorial view of chalk downland is good to be desecrated by ugly new homes, and that is why levelling up works for the whole country, that is the right and responsible policy because it helps to take pressure off parts of the overheating south—east while simultaneously offering hope and opportunity to those areas that have felt left behind. and let's be clear that there is a huge philosophical difference between us and labour, because in their souls, they don't like levelling up. they like levelling down. they do. they like decapitating the tall poppies and taxing the rich until the pips squeak, they dislike academic competition, and i have seenin academic competition, and i have seen in my own eyes in islington, the like kids to run races when nobody actually wins. an

the import from europe and what we have in the united kingdom will sustain us more than happily. but toys, electrical goods, white goods, it will be difficult to get them in. more than a third of the uk's freight container traffic is handled at felixstowe. shipping giant maersk is now re—routing some of its biggest ships away from the port to elsewhere to europe, using smaller vessels to unload goods in an attempt to ease supply chain pressure. adam's haulage business moves 100 containers a day, but a lack of space at felixstowe means his drivers are taking containers back to liverpool now instead. there is a massive backlog of deliveries created by the driver shortage, brexit and a number of other things. that has just all created a perfect storm. but this is a global issue, with similar situations in ports across the us, china and east asia too. problems here first began to emerge injuly. port officials say the situation at felixstowe has improved in the last few days. i am pretty confident in the ability of our colleagues to deliver on time and for the supply chains and reta
