For the Uk Energy supplies. I mean, we have been looking at the markets for 20 or 30 years and certainly this is the biggest crisis since we had a liberalised Market Way back in the last millennium. And after 18 months of Pandemic Cancellations the new York Philharmonic is back on stage on broadway. Hello and welcome if youre watching in the uk or around the world. After the french president ordered the recall of ambassadors To Australia and the us, washington says it plans to hold talks with senior french officials in the coming days to calm the diplomatic storm. The french ambassador To Australia has now left the country, describing as a huge mistake its decision to unilaterally cancel a Submarine Contract worth tens of billions of dollars. From paris, heres hugh schofield. For the americans, the australians and the british, its a new alliance to ensure stability in the pacific and thwart the strategic ambitions of china. But Australias Decision to buy nuclear submarines from the us has left the french feeling stunned and humiliated. Their contract with australia has been simply binned. Ordered back home by President Macron, the french ambassador to canberra was as polite as he could be about the reasons for frances anger. I think this has been a huge mistake. A very, very bad handling of the partnership because it was not a contract. It was a partnership. Partnerships are supposed to be based on trust. I am with the president of france and that makes me feel better. They laugh just a few months ago, it was all smiles at the G7 Summit in cornwall between president s biden and macron, and all talk of cooperation and shared challenges. But behind the scenes the french are convinced that the three english speaking nations were hatching the plan to cut them out. The fallout is potentially very great. This puts a big rift down the middle of the nato alliance, pushes france to doing more with other european countries, puts britain very much in the camp of the americans in dealing with the indo pacific, but britain needs a functioning nato alliance. My worry is that this does deep damage to nato going well beyond the diplomatic row over an arms deal. Noticeably, here at the french foreign ministry, The One ambassador who has not been recalled is The One to london. One reason being put about is that the french regard of the british role in the new pact as being that of a junior partner, but it does also suggest a willingness to keep lines of communication open. The souring of relations is in stark contrast to when President Macron visited an australian submarine in 2018. With an election coming early next year, he has, perhaps, to act tough, but his angry reaction has broad support. For most people, its not the government thats been humiliated, but france, and its a row that could have major implications for future international security. Hugh schofield, bbc news, paris. The french Foreign Minister has been speaking about the strained relations with australia, the us and the uk on french national television. There has been lying, duplicity and major there has been lying, Duplicity And Maor breach of there has been lying, duplicity and major Breach Of Trust and contempt. This will not do. Things are not going well between us. It means there is a crisis and, at that point, we make a symbolic gesture. That of recalling our ambassadors. The very same to me to show our former partner countries that we are very dissatisfied and that there is a serious crisis between us. It also brings us to the point where we need to re evaluate our to defend our interest both in australia and the united states. The us department of Homeland Security has moved around 2,000 people from a camp in a Border Town in texas to other immigration Detention And Processing centres. In the past two days up to 12,000 mainly haitian migrants have arrived at the Border Town, many after travelling from South America in an effort to request asylum in the us. Heres what the mayor of the texan Border Town of Del Rio said. This is unprecedented, this is beyond surreal, this is affecting everybody in this community. The bbc� s Will Grant is in mexico city. So the us government is moving these migrants again . I think it is a pretty basic plan. It will be first and foremost remove them from under a bridge where they have set up a makeshift centre, makeshift camp. Send them to processing centres, Detention Centres along the border. At least 2000 have already been moved in that way but ultimately the aim will be to get them on planes and back to haiti. I mean, ithink we to get them on planes and back to haiti. I mean, i think we know that the Driving Force when it comes to the Driving Force when it comes to the biden administration with its relationship with mexico, for example, is immigration. These images, these numbers do not look good for the biden administration. They are tired of the situation and they will continue to sort of act whenever the sorts of moments of influx or many crises happen so i dont think it comes in any great surprise that the department of homeland pretty swiftly when there is this moment, this gathering under this bridge. Is this moment, this gathering under this bride. ~. , is this moment, this gathering under this bride. ~. , is this moment, this gathering under this bride. ,. ,. , this bridge.

Welcome i think we can split them into two separate groups in i once . Welcome i think we can split them into two separate groups in a | them into two separate groups in a sense. Haitians who we believe have been outside of haiti really since around 2010 earthquake, the devastating earthquake that caused so much destruction in the country then but also there are more recent arrivals and the route often is to go to South American countries, people can get from haiti to brazil relatively easily which is an extraordinary thought to think that they come all the way up from South America through Central America would have made it, you know, to this Border Town that we do believe that in a number of cases that is what has happened. Cuban Migrants Committee were there as well. Of course the current economic crisis in cuba is pushing a lot of people out of the island. For the haitians being deported, being flown back, theyre going into some pretty difficult conditions. Yes. There is a political vacuum in haiti at the moment after the assassination of the president. There is a crisis more generally in the country. There have been protests over corruption, gang violence, fuelling the political crisis and of course there was another earthquake earlier this year so it has been an extremely difficultjourney year so it has been an extremely difficult journey for them to year so it has been an extremely difficultjourney for them to get to that point and it must be devastating to face the idea that they are going to be on planes very, very shortly. What we will therefore see is that a lot of the people still in the group crossed back into mexico and either seek asylum there or try to cross the border elsewhere, perhaps at another porous point. United nations agencies have urged the taliban to re open girls� schools in afghanistan. More than a month after the taliban seized power, secondary schools for boys have reopened and all male teachers have been ordered back to work. But the taliban have said nothing about reopening secondary schools for girls, despite the fact that female enrolment has been steadily going up over the past two decades. Weve been talking to 21 year old afghan Student Shuhra Koofi whose mother, an mp, survived two assassination attempts. Both women have been evacuated by the us and are currently in doha, from where shuhra described the current lack of female education as Heart Breaking and frustrating. Afghanistan is not the country was 20 years back but unfortunately it is now going to the 90s. So when my mother was at school, she faced a lot of opposition from her family because they did not allow it to go to school and even some families at that time didnt allow their boys to go to school but compared to when i was going to school my mum tried to find the best schools to send me and my sisters so you see a big Generation Change here. In kabul, back home, there was a High School For Girls in front of our house and every day i saw girls going to school and at 5p and they were coming out but when the taliban came that door was closed and that school was empty. It was really heartbreaking and frustrating. Like, before this, when they were fighting against the government they have a reason to legitimise the fact that they dont allow the girls to go to school but now they are ruling the government so they are accountable to be born this is not what people want. People want, families want their daughters to get educated. They want the girls to go to school and have the rights the boys have. Sam mort, kabul based spokesperson for the United Nations childrens fund, says the gains of the last two decades need to be preserved. Pleased that boys can go to school but we are deeply concerned that girls were not mentioned in the Message And Unicef very clear that Girls Cannot and must not be left behind. They must be in secondary school, contributing fully to the country, getting the education that is their right. 20 years ago there were 1 Million children in school than 10 were girls and today we have got nearly 10 Million children in school than 40 of them are girls and it is absolutely vital that we preserve those gains, especially now when we have lost so many talented young people in the last few weeks to evacuation. It is critical, there is going to be a peaceful productive and prosperous afghanistan that all its young people are skilled and productive. Amid rising global Gas Prices and warnings of higher Gas Bills for consumers, Uk Ministers have been holding urgent talks with Energy Industry leaders. Its understood that 4 small Energy Companies are likely to go under next week. The Uk Business secretary, Kwasi Kwarteng, says protecting customers is an � absolute priority� for the government. Here� s our business correspondent, katy austin. Gas is a key source of the energy that heats our homes and powers our industries. Since the start of the year, wholesale prices have soared, almost doubling in the uk, prompting the government to hold urgent talks with the Energy Industry today. Reasons for the increase include lower wind and solar output, high demand, and reduced supply from russia. The conversations from the government this week are how we get to a short term crisis, and then how we can transform our industry so that it doesn� t happen again. The unprecedented costs are taking their toll four small Energy Suppliers have gone bust in the past few days with more set to follow as soon as week. Steelmakers which need a lot of energy are worried. If they� re at this price now, what is it going to be like in the winter . If it carries on like this, i� m fearful, notjust for the Steel Sector but all energy intensive sectors, and then downstream operations because that is what we do. We are at the start of the Supply Chain we sell to manufacturers. High energy prices have already forced two large Uk Fertiliser plants in the north of england to close one consequence is a shortage of their crucial by Product Carbon Dioxide and that could hit Food And Drink businesses. Because it� s used to stun some animals before slaughtering and for meat packing. Meat processors fear the process could hit production. It� s used to extend Meat Shelf Life through packaging, notjust on meat but on all foods. At a time when we� re struggling because of the Haulage Shortages in this country to keep the Supply Chain running, to actually have a shorter Shelf Life on the products going under shelves is going to cause even more disruption, so this is a really serious problem for us. The online Food Delivery Company 0cado says it now has limited stock of some frozen foods because the squeeze on Carbon Dioxide means it can� t get enough dry ice. The Trade Body representing major supermarkets says the disruption could not have come at a worse time with the Lorry Driver Shortage already causing issues. The rising price of gas is mainly being felt by businesses at the moment but it is likely to feed through in terms of higher bills for consumers at a time when the Cost Of Living is already rising. The Business Secretary Kwasi Kwarteng says britain can meet demand for gas and that the government does not expect Supply Emergencies this winter but when it comes to prices there are global factors at play. Katy austin, bbc news. Robert buckley an Energy Analyst at Cornwall Insight told us what� s driving the increase in global prices. People keep talking about a perfect storm of increasing demand, constraints on supply of gas from russia, from norway, very competitive international market for. Lower production from wind and solar than we were expecting. So and solar than we were expecting. So a real combination of factors. In asian and European Problem with an overlay of issues specific to great britain. A very difficult market for small suppliers particularly in the Domestic Market where they face a cap that limits the amount they can pay and that cap sent some pretty perverse incentives to people about not trading with these Energy Suppliers because people on the other side of the market think they will go bust so we are in a self fulfilling prophecy where the Tariff Cap is causing as many problems as it solves. The headlines on bbc news. France is recalling its ambassadors To Australia and the united states, in protest over a security deal, which includes the uk. Us officials are moving thousands of migrants away from a texas Border Town, after a rapid influx, mostly from haiti. There� s been a heavy Police Presence on Capitol Hill In Washington For A Rally by hard right supporters of rioters who attacked the us Senate And House of representatives onjanuary 6th. But the organisers have acknowledged that the numbers are not as high as at previous protests. 0ur Correspondent Nomia iqbaljoins us now from washington. I think you have just come back from the event. What did the turnout look like . Yes the first large Scale Security Test since january six and they don� t want to repeat four of what happened that day. There was a Militarised Perimeter and defence that went around dc. National guard troops on standby as well and capitol police out fully armed, lots of roads blocked so trying to get around dc took a little bit longer than usual. But in terms of the turnout, this particular group that held this valley had a permit of around 700 people. The capitol police say in terms of how many actually turned out that was about 450. And that definitely is how it felt. There were certainly more police there than there were actual protesters and of course a lot of media there as well by the police were worried because it is notjust about january six. There were worried because it is notjust aboutjanuary six. There have been a few instances that have alarmed police in last month a man from North Carolina turned out with a truck full of explosives threatening to blow up to blocks in the neighbourhood. And there was an attack that killed one capitol police officer. They were not sure of other groups could turn out today. Far right extremist groups who have not given assurances on security on the Counter Protest groups which were kept far away but still, the police did not want to Leave Anything to chance. Did this demonstration, Leave Anything to chance. Did this demonstration, however Leave Anything to chance. Did this demonstration, however small, i Leave Anything to chance. Did this i demonstration, however small, have demonstration, howeversmall, have backing of Donald Trump or any elected republican politicians . It is interesting. So you get republicans who say, well, they agree with the Sentiment Ofjustice for the january six rioters and they believe for more than 600 people were arrested and they believe that many of those people arrested were innocent and that they were somehow just various tourist and they got caught up in police a bit heavy handed with that so you do get some high profile republicans who believe that. People like Lindsey Graham and tim cruz. They sit back that sentiment. They round actually here at the rally but in terms of Donald Trump it is interesting because Donald Trump did not actually endorse this rally but he backs that sentiment. The organisers of this valley were very clear to say this is not about trump and they actually said to people, if you turn up actually said to people, if you turn up with a Trump T Shirt will make you turn it inside out. We don� t want any political slogans here. This is aboutjustice for these people. So, you know, they� re very clever on the way they have marketed this but the sentiment that they expressed is backed by a lot of republicans here in dc. Sport and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre, here� s Sarah Mulkerrins thank you. Let� s start with English Premier league because liverpool have gone top of the table after easing past crystal palace. They 130 at easing past crystal palace. They 13 0 at anfield.

We scored three times after pieces which are already that they defended pretty well. In these moments, these games are needed that. If it would have been 1 0 i would have told the boys this is one of these games that you need to win. You win these games because we were not brilliant today. We were good but we were not brilliant. Manchester city are up to second three points behind liverpool. They endured a frustrating afternoon, however, a goalless draw at home to southampton for them and only able to have their first shot on in the 90th minute. Elsewhere arsenal eased the pressure on the manager as they secured their first away win of the season. A Free Kick was enough to give them a 1 0 win and they are up to 12. They are on the 19th win this season and in the late game they beat everton 3 0 to end their unbeaten start. To germany and Bayern Munich have gone top of the bundesliga and they did it in some style because they trashed their opponent 7 0.

On 14 silver which makes them top of the overall standings. That is on this board from me for now. That is on this board from me for now. When the Coronavirus Pandemic first took hold in New York all the city� s theatres and Concert Venues closed their doors. Broadway has begun to re open and now one of the big apple� s premier orchestras is returning to the stage. The new York Philhamonic is putting on its first season of concerts for more than 18 months. The bbc� s Tim Allman reports. Established in 1842, the new York Philharmonic has been performing for nearly 180 years. A vital and much loved part of the city� s cultural bloodstream. But then came covid and the music stopped. Now, 556 days later, final rehearsals are taking place. The phil is coming home. I feel like we are an important part of bringing New York back to normalcy, even though it� s starting very slowly and it� s still very tentative, we are aiming in the right direction. This is a very optimistic and exciting new beginning. The orchestra has performed a series of one off events, mostly online, or outdoors, but this will be a proper concert, in a proper concert hall, with a paying and No Doubt appreciative audience. Ifeel like almost a rebirth as a musician. As a musician we play 130 140 concerts a year and you never take it for granted, but sometimes you think, oof, i� m a little tired today i gotta play this again. But not any more i feel, really, such gratitude. The first concert is called from silence to celebration, which seems strangely appropriate. 0rganisers hoping the audience will simply enjoy the moment and be free. Tim allman, bbc news. A different kind of arthousands of spectators have turned out in paris. To watch french Acrobat Nathan Paulin walk from the Eiffel Tower across the seine and onto the trocadero, 70 metres up in the air. He� s known as a slackliner who walks along a suspended length of flat webbing rather than a tightrope. Now it� s time for a look at the weather with chris. We had lots of sunshine for many. This was the scene earlier in the day in hampshire. Further west in cornwall this guys looked rather more threatening. A week when a frontier bringing cloud and some threatening skies and indeed that we confront here has just started to from showers. Wales and across the midlands and those storms will push northwards as we go onto the night. A short lived but intense area of rain will work its Way Eastwards Across Northern Ireland as well but the wet as well as the night across Northern England working with a few cracks of thunder to be expected. Still dry at this stage across the east the east midlands, East Anglia, south East England and becoming drier later in the night across western counties of northern ireland. Now tomorrow it is quite an unsettled looking weather picture. We have got Rain Putting across wales, the midlands, to scotland and later on in the day we start to see that Rain Turning increasingly heavy and sundry as it works into Eastern England and becomes particularly slow moving and they could be some areas of around 30 40 millimetres of rain put the risk of some low cloud surface water. The weather becoming drier and sunnier, they will come across many western areas. Now, the week ahead, by and large it is a quiet start to the new week with sunny spells around however later in the pressure takes over the weather will turn wet and windy. It is going to be a bit more like autumn later in the week. Monday, few week when the front started around but generally pressure will be rising at least for a time. Any rain limited to East Anglia in south East England. A few showers coming to the North West but for many parts of the country it is a dry day on monday with some sunshine and temperatures high teens low 20s and it is a similar kind of pitch on tuesday with my dry weather to go round. Sunny spells were made but as well and then the early Mist And Fog patches tending to lift but it will turn windy across scotland and northern ireland. Isolated showers pushing on here towards the afternoon. Temperatures still high teens i have a low 20s but a Real Change in our weather. It takes place towards the middle part of the week as we start to see areas of low pressure moving and towards the end of the week these areas of low pressure deep in, bringing heavy strong winds, some autumnal gales on the way. Political thinking. Thanks for watching. Hello this is bbc news. The headlines.
