Borisjohnson of a majority, at the next election, and urges activisits to reach out to voters in traditional tory heartlands. The Actorjohn Challis best known for playing � boycie� in Only Fools And Horses� has died at the age of 79. Good evening. One of englands greatest footballers, Jimmy Greaves, has died at the age of 81. He was tottenham hotspur� s most prolific strikers, netting 266 goals. He was remembered with tributes ahead of their game today, and by other clubs he had played for. Greaves also went on to become a Television Pundit Katie gornall looks back now on the life of a man, who was a member of the squad that won the World Cup in 1966, although he missed out on the final. He remains one of englands all time top Goal Scorers. He was one of the most natural finishers ever to play the game. Perhaps even the greatest Goal Scorer that england has produced. Its greaves oh, and a Hat Trick for greaves he was devilishly funny as well, with his wit and his personality. So charismatic. But on the field of play, people will remember him most, those of us who are old enough to have witnessed his magnificence at times. He could score all sorts of goals. He was a beautifully graceful footballer and a wonderful finisher. Jimmy greaves made his name at chelsea, before moving to Ac Milan in 1961. His European Adventure was brief, and he soon returned home to tottenham hotspur, The Club which would define his career. The goals kept on coming. His 266 at spurs remains a record to this day, and he scored 44 in just 57 games for england. He used to say to me, you do all the running, ill do all the scoring. And thats what he was. He was a great, great Goal Scorer. And in time to come, with stories known aboutJimmy Greaves, people will rememberJimmy Greaves, because theres been nobody better. Greaves was a key player, heading into the 1966 World Cup but early in the tournament, he was injured. And although he recovered by the final, he was left out in favour of geoff hurst. A disappointment which proved hard to take. I couldnt force myself to join the festivities, because id built, in my own mind, id built myself up that i was going to be in the side and i was going to be one of the key people. And suddenly it wasnt there. This is greaves after retiring in 1971, greaves struggled. Alcoholism was followed by bankruptcy. But he battled back from both to reinvent his career on television. Good day now, saint. What happened 7 there you are, favourites to qualify. Alongside ian stjohn, his Show Saint and greavsie was a huge hit with viewers. Although the programme ended in the early 90s, the affection for greaves certainly didnt. And in 2009, the man who famously missed out on the World Cup final at last received a winners medal. Today, England Manager Gareth Southgate confirmed that theyll Pay Tribute to him at englands next match, saying Jimmy Greaves was someone who was admired by all who loved football. The former Tottenham Player Ozzie ardiles said Jimmy Epitomises what spurs is. To dare is to do. While another great top Goal Scorer, England Captain Harry kane, described him as a true legend. This afternoon, fans gathered at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and gave their reaction. Jimmy absolutely gutted. Just an incredible player, fantastic on saint and greavsie. I think a lot of us grew up watching that. Hell always be remembered for| the great footballer that he was. His record, Goal Scoring record, absolutely stands up against anybody. Perhaps fittingly, spurs hosted chelsea this afternoon. There was a minutes applause, both here and at West Ham another club where his popularity endures. Applause. Greaves said all he ever wanted was to play the game and play it well. At times, he played it better than anyone, and made it look so easy. Jimmy greaves, whos died at the age of 81.

All of the way through it, jimmy has always been held high in all of the fans respect. Consumers are being warned today that there may be less choice in the products they see in supermarkets if issues with a shortage of Carbon Dioxide Arent resolved. Its used in the packaging of food as well as cold storage, transport and Animal Slaughter and supplies have been affected by the knock on impact of wholesale Gas Prices going up. Heres our Business Correspondent Katy austin. The Food Supply Chain has already been under pressure as firms struggle to find enough workers, including lorry drivers. Now, manufacturers and supermarkets say a shortage of Carbon Dioxide threatens the supply of some products. The gas is crucial for a variety of uses, including the Production And Packaging of meat, and keeping salads fresh. Towards the end of the week to come and into the following week, we are going to see really serious consequences. And i would think that by the middle of next week, so ten days time, we would see a really, really big hit poultry production, to Pig Producers and probably increasingly in the other sectors, so in Packaging Materials and in bakery and drinks. At the root of this problem is a huge increase in wholesale Gas Prices, with energy so expensive, two large fertiliser plants have halted production, and Carbon Dioxide as a By Product of their operations. The global boss of the company behind those plants came to the Uk Today and met the Business Secretary to discuss options for getting them going again. Another consequence of high wholesale Gas Prices is that some small energy suppliers have gone bust, and more are expected to. For large companies like octopus, we bought our energy long in advance. So, i think the real problem is for those companies that are smaller, may be less prudently run, who are buying their energy now. Ministers have insisted there is no risk to supply. A significant part of our Gas Supplies comes domestically. The imported gas, primarily, comes from countries like norway. So we are securing that. But of course when it comes to prices there will be concern as well. We have the energy price gap, the discount, to protect people at this particular time. There will be further Discussions Tomorrow between the Business Secretary, Energy Companies and the regulator ofgem, which says it is working to ensure consumers continue to be protected.

As students start to head to campuses for a new academic year universities in england are being urged by their regulator to take Student Views into account, when deciding about online teaching. The regulator, the office for students, says it expects the majority of teaching to be in person, but many universities have told the bbc some lectures are likely to be online. Heres our Education Editor Branwen jeffreys. So, in terms of the freshers week. Freshers week is about to come roaring back. Universities were Ghost Towns last year. But in the coming weeks, from bars to laboratories, everything will reopen. The biggest change, and the thing im most excited for, is to get back into the lectures, to see people. I do a science degree, so im really excited to be back in the labs and doing that sort of work. Its time to rebuild their social lives, and get used to turning up to lectures. There are people in the new cohort who have potentially never been out. So they are trying to go for the full uni experience. But everyone is aware, you know, that there is still a bit of precaution that needs to be in place. The coronavirus reminders are still there. But more of a nudge, less of a strict regime. The big Game Changer this year is vaccination. It should allow a return to mainly face to face teaching, and thats absolutely crucial, notjust for students, but universities also know they are under pressure to show value for money for those tuition fees. These seats will refill at york. But lectures will also be offered online. In england, a warning that Student Views on quality matter. Were going to be looking particularly at those courses where we know there are high numbers of students going in, where there may be a risk to quality. But were also relying on students and others to let us know if they think that quality is slipping. And, if it is, we will intervene and we will be discussing with universities and colleges what the problems are. At york, theyve brought forward finishing these student flats. With student numbers up, theyve run out of rooms. First year rhys has been offered Student Accommodation in hull, so he faces an hour each way commuting untiljanuary. I am still stressing about it, how much im going to have to spend travelling instead of studying, or in lectures, or with friends, or socialising. Its going to be a real challenge, especially for my first year of university. The university says giving students the full uni experience is the priority this year. Were going to look after them as well as we can in that situation, making it easy for them to get to and fro, helping them with money and making sure, through well targeted welfare support, and on site support, that they dont feel isolated. Already on campus are international students. One more sign of the slowjourney back to normal university life. Branwenjeffreys, bbc news, york. Four Space Tourists have returned safely to earth after spending 3 days in orbit in a capsule operated by the private company space x. They were the first all Amatueur Crew to go into space without a professional astronaut aboard. As Duncan Kennedy reports their craft landed in the atlantic just off the coast of florida. Approximately 50 mph, when they touch the. This is the flight thats reinvented space flight. Applause the spacex mission, coming down in the atlantic, is the first all civilian crew to have orbited the earth. On behalf of spacex, welcome home to planet earth. Your mission has shown the world that space is for all of us. They were led by jared isaacman, a 38 year old billionaire who paid for all four seats on board. The four Day Mission began last wednesday, reaching a height of around 360 miles. Whoa among the crew was a cancer survivor, hayley arceneaux, who made the most of the craft� s uniquely large window. We can see the entire perimeter of the earth, which is so beautiful the crew did six months training, but it was the on board computers that controlled everything except the floating toy dog. I think the idea is that there is an awful lot that still needs to be accomplished in space. Theres an awful lot of it. We know so little about it. There may be some really interesting answers to questions we have all been asking for a long Time Out there.

Some of the biggest names on television will gather in Los Angeles Tonight for the emmy awards, honouring the best tv of the past year. There are high hopes for british talent with The Crown leading the nominations along with the london based Football Comedy Ted Lasso earning 20 nominations. Our Los Angeles Correspondent sophie long reports. Afc richmond announced the hiring of their new manager, american Football Coach Ted Lasso. An american, whos now in charge of a Football Club despite possessing very little knowledge of the game. In a nutshell, a scorned woman damaged by divorce hires an American Goofball in the secret hope of running the Football Club, which happens to be the only thing her Ex Husband truly loves into the ground. Little does she realise that when this Human Being comes into her life, no matter how hard she tries, he is actually her salvation rather than her scheming. George is here. If hes here, why isnt he here . Oh, yes, good point. Ted lasso is a Heart Warming Comedy thatjerks more than the occasional tear, a mixture of mostly british cast with an american can do sensibility thats earned its cast and creators a record breaking 20 emmy nominations. Well, ijust didnt believe it, really. And i was. I felt a Bit Sort of blubbery. And then, i was very tired because itjust seemed an awful shock. It kind of feels like im glad it didnt come a moment sooner, which some people might find weird. You know, being in my mid 40s, you think, oh, no, wouldnt you have loved it in your 30s or whatever . But i dont think i would have been able to cope with the sharp upturn and i certainly know i wouldnt have been able to play this character, rebecca welton, who has so many different layers to her, so manyjoyous things, but so many upsets to overcome. So, yeah, strangely enough, the universe knows what its doing. In the men because my category for best supporting actor in comedy, there is a 4 way Ted Lasso way, prove that they are a deep batch. Now its time for a look at the weather with matt taylor. I have some of it mostly for tomorrow. Outbreaks of rain at the moment, particularly across East Anglia and the south east. Flashes of lightning and there could be some torrential downpours, small risks of flooding. Only one or two showers this evening out towards the west. Those outbreaks of rain continue across the south East Corner and East Anglia Right through the night and into tomorrow. On and off, turning a little bit lighter. The gap between that and approaching cloud in Northern Scotland but fresh sunny start for the vast majority. In northern ireland, clouding over through the day but some outbreaks of rain. It will also cloud over eastern scotland. Some of that cloud on and off there in East Anglia. Isolated showers in england and wales with plenty of sunshine, feeling a bit warmer than today. On tuesday, change is afoot. Wednesday is set to turn wetter and it might actually feel like autumn later this week. Bye for now. Hello, this is bbc news. Im lukwesa burak.
