But have all the dancers had their Covid Jabs . Hello and welcome, if you re watching in the uk or Around The World. The Itish-government'>BrItish Government is to hold urgent talks wIth the Energy Industry amid growing concern about a spike in wholesale Gas Prices in the uk. A combination of high global demand and lower solar and Wind Output have been blamed for the price hike. The government says there is no threat to Uk Gas supplies. The Business Secretary Kwasi kwarteng will be talking to gas producers, the national grid, suppliers and the regulator ofgem. Its predicted the typical Ity'>Gas And ElectricIty customer is likely to see their Bill Go Up by £139 from october. The high Gas Prices have already led two large Uk Fertiliser plants to close thats relevant because they produce Carbon Dioxide, a key element of the Meat Production Process leading to concerns about food supplies. Our polItical Correspondent Peter Saull is here. Unusual for the Business Secretary to be having a meeting on a saturday. That is right. 20 meetings. This shows how serious the government is taking the sItuation. It is a global sItuation wIth global Gas Prices soaring, largely because of increase in demand, also problems wIth maintenance of some Ities'>Gas FacilIties Around The World. Also, lower output in recent months in terms of wind and solar. That is having an impact already on the Gas Suppliers which is why the Business Secretary wants speak to them today. Particularly concerns about smaller Gas Suppliers, whether they can deal wIth that surge in wholesale Gas Prices. Then there is a knock on impact down the Supply Chain full stop on wednesday to make fertiliser plants, in cheshire and teesside, closing, and a By Product from Fertiliser Production is Carbon Dioxide, widely used across the economy, particularly in Food And Drink production, in terms of packaging, food preservation, that kind of thing. It is also used to stun animals before they are slaughtered. A warning from the brItish meat Processors Association this morning is that wIthin months, or wIthin days, actually, things like Pork And Chicken could become a very scarce on supermarket shelves. More about that in a moment. What does all this mean for families who are watching today . The first thing is the impact on your energy bills. If you are only variable tariff you may have already seen price increase. The warning is that increase could continue. Similarly, if you are supplied by one of the smaller energy suppliers, not one supplied by one of the smaller energy suppliers, not one of the supplied by one of the smaller energy suppliers, not one of the big six, you may see that. Them potentially struggling to make ends meet in the coming days. On the Food Side of things you might 0n the Food Side of things you might start to seek shortages, that is that warning we are getting from the industry also. Start to see shortages. Lots of governments Around The World worried about this, ultimately It could have an impact on individuals wIthin the coming days. I can now speak to Nick Allen whos the Chief Executive of the brItish meat Processors Association. How might this affect the supply of meat to our supermarkets . As the introduction suggested, this is crItical throughout the Supply Chain, on the meat side, particularly in the Poultry Sector is used to slaughter animals. It is also, there is a potential, as well as shortages, the potential to create an animal Welfare Problem back on the farms. In what way . We will not be able to process the animals as quickly. Those animals will stay back on the farm. There is already a problem in the Pig Sector where some pigs are backing up on a farm because of labour shortages. This could cause enormous problems forfarmers. It is a horrendous Problem And Challenge for them. A horrendous Problem And Challenge forthem. 0n a horrendous Problem And Challenge for them. On top of that, we use Carbon Dioxide to extend Shelf Life through packaging, notjust on meat, but all foods. At a time when we are struggling because of haulage shortage, to actually lose Shelf Life on products going onto shelves is going to cause even more disruption. This is a serious problem for us. If the Business Secretary happens to be watching now what would you need from him . We. The two plants shutting down overnight. There was a crisis in 2018 around c02. He needs to speak to that sort of company and see whether that decision could be reversed, or those closures can be delayed. More to the point, we got through the last C02 Crisis because we knew there was an end to It. It was about plants shutting down for maintenance. They have just said, they are closed indefinItely. Nobody knows where they are. If they cannot arrive at a deal wIth that sort of company they need to help the Industry Source C02 from Somewhere Else. Because this will impact right the way through from the farm, to wear c02 is used to serve beer, therefore It will effect your paint. Is It straightforward to Source C02 from Somewhere Else .

Since this news broke i have been inundated wIth calls from people in the industry, from our members, and from retailers. Everyone is regarding this as a serious problem. I know retailers have been in contact wIth the government about this. This is days, weeks problem, where this will come to a head, not something that will rumble on for months.

The us State Department says It intends to hold talks in the coming days to calm french anger over a new Defence Pact between the unIted states, great brItain and australia. France is upset because the deal involves the cancellation of a contract to supply french designed submarines to the australian navy. In a measure of Its frustration paris has recalled ambassadors to washington and canberra. Courtney bembridge reports. Back injune the two president s sat Side By side in The Sun in the uk. But that warmth has disappeared and, in an unprecedented move, france has recalled Its ambassadors to the us and australia. This is why. It is about connecting americas allies in new ways. A deal struck for a fleet of nuclear powered submarines. It replaces a multi billion Dollar Deal Australia had signed wIth france in 2016, and france was only told about It hours before the Public Announcement which has infuriated president macron. First came this warning from the foreign minister. Translation i am angry wIth a lot of bItterness about this cancellation. It is not over. Then the next move.

Holiday companies say they expect a surge in bookings after the Itish-government'>BrItish Government announced rules around international travel in england were being eased. But there are concerns that scrapping Pcr Tests for people who are Double Jabbed, will affect the Ity'>Countrys AbilIty to monItor covid variants. Simonjones reports. Half term holidays abroad look set to become simpler and cheaper for many families, to the relief of the travel industry. Its very important for The End of the season. Theres lots of people havent had a holiday for two years. Its a big boost for the industry, and what weve said all along is the best support we can get from the government is being able to fly again. From 4 october, fully vaccinated travellers returning to england from countries that arent on the Red List will no longer need to take a test before they travel, and from The End of october they wont need an expensive Pcr Test on their return. Itll be replaced by a lateral flow test. Children will be treated the same as vaccinated adults. But if youre not Double Jabbed, It is very different. Youll need to test before you travel back and self isolate at home for ten days, as well as pay for Pcr Tests. Be aware that if youre not vaccinated then im afraid there are by necessIty more costs and bureaucracy involved under this system. Travel agents are gearing up for a busy weekend of bookings. This is what weve been waIting for a long time. It takes away all the confusion, and thats been one of our biggest barriers, and one of the biggest reasons why people havent been wanting to book theyre confused. But some scientists have warned that fewer people taking Pcr Tests, which are sent to labs for analysis, could make It harder to identify new variants of the virus being imported into england. At stansted airport, some travellers were concerned. I think Its good to keep the testing, in a way. I think Its safer for everyone. Yes, we have to live wIth covid. However, i think Its still important to get tested. Anyone thats Double Jabbed should be able to be tested wIthout any travel wIthout extra tests and things. The new Travel Rules remain in place until the new year at least. The welsh government says It is considering whether to follow them. Northern ireland has yet to announce any decision. But the scottish Government Wont at this stage change the tests travellers need to take due to what It calls significant concerns about the impact on public health.

And contestants have had to wIthdraw because of covid. You were lucky, you did It before the pandemic, there are so many guidelines the cast have to follow. Suggestions that two of the professional dancers are declining to take a Covid Jab. What is your view on that, as an Nhs Consultant . Vaccination is not mandatory. It is an offer. We should all be playing our part, doing whatever we can to dry to keep everybody safe, notjust ourselves, but those around us. There may be legItimate reasons for those people do not be able to have the jab. We have got to understand that. But we have all got a part to play to be as safe as possible.

An Aid Worker and nine members of his family including seven children died in the blast. The us had inItially claimed they targeted a suspected suicide bomber. Nomia iqbal reports. These are the victims of one of the us milItary� s final actions in afghanistan. Acts in afghanistan. Ten innocent people including an Aid Worker and seven children were killed in an american Drone Strike, days before the us left for good. The youngest, sumaya, was just two years old. America thought It was targeting isis k, the Terrorist Group that had carried out a deadly attack days earlier at kabul airport, killing 13 us troops and hundreds of afghans. But the milItary now admIts It got It wrong. I offer my profound condolences to the family and friends of those who were killed. This strike was taken in the earnest belief that It would prevent an imminent threat to our forces and the evacuees at the airport. But It was a mistake, and i offer my sincere apology. As the combatant commander, i am fully responsible for the strike and Its tragic outcome. This Drone Strike was part of president biden� s controversial over the horizon strategy, which involves fighting terrorists from the sky, not on foot. The general said the intelligence suggested that a whIte car similar to the one they struck was about to be used in an attack on the airport, but they also misinterpreted the loading of Water Bottles into Its boot as explosives. Emal ahmadi, the father of the young girl killed, spoke to the bbc at the time. My brother came from his work, wanted to park the car in here, and there are children that were in the car at the time that happened. And how many people from yourfamily died . Ten persons has died in here ten persons including my daughter, who was two years old. General mckenzie said the us would consider paying reparations to the family. However, he said america stands by Its intelligence. This awful mistake further dents the us milItary� s reputation, which has already been damaged by Its chaotic wIthdrawal in afghanistan. Staying wIth afghanistan and the imf has said that Its deeply concerned that a humanItiarian crisis is emerging across the country, after the taliban takeover last month. The economy is in freefall and the majorIty of international aid has stopped in response to the new regime, but Its the people who are being impacted. Lets go live to kabul now, where ashley carl, Deputy Chief of the international organization for migrationjoins us. Tell us what the sItuation is light on the ground. It is quIte calm at the moment. However the humanItarian sItuation becomes increasingly dire. While 90 of the country is reporting reduction in conflict, there is over 90 of households reporting a loss of income, loss ofjobs, and the major humanItarian needs right now, cash, food, clean drinking water, and health care. We know the imf has frozen funds that were set to go to afghanistan, since the taliban took over. In terms of humanItarian aid from the international communIty, has that also stopped . HumanItarian aid has not stopped. I went amongst other humanItarian actors, we continue to deliver humanItarian assistance around the country. We can only encourage international donors to continue to support these life saving efforts, particularly as winter is around the corner. 0nce particularly as winter is around the corner.

Christmas shopping may have to start earlier than usual this year, following concerns some popular toys could be in short supply. The toy Retailers Association says ongoing problems wIth Shipping Containers, and a lack of lorry drivers, means It s taking longer for products to arrive from overseas. Our business correspondent, katy austin, reports. Weve got our london underground toys, our harry potter toys, some of our train sets. These are all designed in london. Most are sold in the uk by online and High Street retailers, but they are made in the far east. Shipping them over is currently taking twice the time It should. The first reason is the lack of Shipping Containers coming out of china. The second is the lack of Ity'>Space And AvailabilIty on the vessels coming over. And lastly, the most major issue is having trucks from the port deliver straight to us. So at every stage, really, youre finding delays. Every stage, yes. We are now coming up to the crucial Christmas Trading period. The concern for Toy Makers and retailers isnt demand. They think that will be strong. It is whether they have enough of exactly the products people want at exactly the right time. We cant say or rule out that we will have shortages. At the moment were well stocked, but were in september. 0ur Peak Period starts at The End of october. Gerald says toys will also be more expensive as some of the rising cost of shipping is passed on to customers. The biggest Cost Increase is the containers coming over from the far east. The price before all these issues came about 900 for a 20 foot container. Were now paying upwards of 8,800. Other products are being affected too. The Devon Warehouse of this online Home And Gardenware retailer is starting to fill up wIth artificial christmas trees, decorations and lights. They normally begin to arrive as early asjune, but delays mean a lot of uncertainty. For a lot of retailers Its going to be quIte gappy this year, and some things probably arent going to get here in time to be useful for people this festive season. People who leave It to the last minute might find they havent got quIte so much selection. Most Colour Printed Books are shipped in from overseas. That is also taking longer, so waterstones bought in Its festive stock extra early. Weve been ordering in much larger quantIties and increasing our stockholding in our shops and our warehouse to ensure that we can kind of meet high demand. Some businesses, including john lewis, are chartering extra ships to bring in their festive supplies. That is not an option forfirms like geralds. All he wants for christmas is for his toys to arrive in time for people to buy them. Now Its time for a look at the weather wIth 0wain. I hope you are doing all right. For many of us we will see dry weather and some sunshine today. However, we have this weak Weather Front draped across the uk. That is bringing thicker cloud and some patchy rain as well. You can see It here in the Close Up view across northern parts of england, the south of scotland, then wrapping around western parts of wales towards the South West of england. EIther side of this some sunshine. Cooler to the north. Top temperature is 22 or 23 celsius. As we head through this evening the Weather Front gets reinvigorated, if you like, and we will see heavy spells of rain developing. As we head through the Day Tomorrow we will continue wIth that. The Weather Front creeping towards the east. We could see some localised flooding as this will produce quIte a lot of rainfall wIthin a short space of time for some of us tomorrow. West is best as far as those sunny spells are concerned wIth top temperatures reaching 20 or 21 celsius. Brightening up as we head to the start of this coming week
