in premier league history. good morning. there is a lot of dry weather to come today although some light and patti went across the north west first thing in the morning. forthose north west first thing in the morning. for those that are desperate to see some heavy rain, i think i can see someone at the distant horizon. i will tell you more about that a little bit later on. good morning. it s sunday, 28th august. our main story: the prime minister has said whoever succeeds him will announce another huge package of financial support to help people cope with soaring energy bills this winter. writing in the mail on sunday, boris johnson acknowledged that the next few months would be difficult, as households face sky high costs, but he added that the uk will emerge stronger on the other side . the price cap set by the regulator 0fgem will rise by 80% in october. that means the typical annual energy bill, paid by direct debt, will increase from 1,971 pounds to more than 3,500 poun
low cloud falling but the rain is at least needed and that could be with us for quite some time as we head into the first week of september. quite a long way off but rain on the distant horizon. that is what will be welcome news to a lot of people, especially gardeners. thank you. neighbours, of course, came to an end not long ago. home and away is still going strong, and superfan, julia hales, has watched all 5800 episodes. that doesn t seem that many. fewer than 6000. but has always wondered why there s no one like her in the cast. now she s created a play about her quest to become the first person with down syndrome to appear in the show, and it s being performed at the edinburgh international festival. pauline mclean reports.
