The travellers in november. Ministry of defence launch investigatIon, the Ministry Of Defence launches an investigatIon, it is accused of compromising the safety of 250 afghan interpreters. And the latest from the Canary Islands where a volcanic eruptIon on La Palma has driven thousands from their homes. And coming up in the sport, on the Bbc News channel. No more cricket tour. England withdraw from their tour to pakistan next month citing mental wellbeing as one of the driving factors. Good evening. There will be no Bail Out by the taxpayer for struggling energy firms, according to the Business Secretary, whos been holding crisis talks with industry Leaders Today. Kwasi kwarteng said customers would be protected if more Energy Companies went out of business and he said there was no prospect of an Energy Supply Emergency this winter. The growing crisis has been caused by a massive rise in the wholesale prices, paid by the Energy Companies. The food and Drinks Industry is also warning that one of the knock on effects of the situatIon will be more shortages in the shops. Our business editor simonjack reports. The Uk Energy sector is in crisis. Dozens of small energy providers have already gone bust, and dozens more are not expected to make it through winter, as soaring Energy Prices leave many unable to deliver on price promises made to millIons of customers who were encouraged to look for the best deals. Secretary of state. In the commons today, the Business Secretary sought to reassure customers ahead of winter. We have sufficient capacity, and more than sufficient capacity to meet demand, and we do not expect Supply Emergencies to occur this winter. There is absolutely no questIon, mr speaker, of the lights going out or people being unable to heat their homes. He also announced a government imposed Price Cap would be maintained, but thats one of the things creating problems for providers, as the wholesale cost of gas is miles higher than the retail cap. You can see here exactly what has happened to wholesale Gas Prices. They have more than tripled since the beginning of the year, rising 70 in august alone. Thats the what. Why . Some global issues. There has been a surge in demand for energy as the World Economy awakes from the Covid 19 deep freeze. InternatIonal stockpiles are unusually low for this time of year, and russia has been accused of withholding supplies to pressurise Eu Governments to approve a new pipeline into europe. But some uk specific ones, too. We have had outages at ageing nuclear plants, we have had maintenance on some North Sea Gas platforms, we had a fire knocking out a pipeline that brings in energy from europe, and the Wind Hasnt been blowing which means Wind Turbines are generating less, which means gas fired Ions'>Power StatIons have to produce more. Many new smaller companies set up offering cheap deals, but unlike the bigger players, many didnt insure themselves against a Price Spike of this magnitude, leaving some of them now with bleak prospects. Magnitude, leaving some of them now in the current market, as it is, were not going to see it through the winter. If it gets worse, that timescale will get shortened. I think ourselves, along with a lot of other smaller Energy Suppliers out there, need direct Ion'>Government InterventIon to see us through the coming months. But the government said it will not Bail Out failing companies, but it will need to find a way to compensate the surviving firms for taking on millIons of loss making accounts. But what should you do if your supplier goes bust . Theres a tried and tested Safety Net which protects customers and will move you to another supplier. That will be done automatically, theres nothing you need to do yourself, so actually our best advice is to sit tight. It may take a few weeks for that to happen. We do advise people to take a Meter Reading or even better, to take a photograph of your meter. Some big Energy Bosses have described this crisis as a failure of regulatIon. New companies offered cheap deals to grab a share of the market with no plan in place if the cost of supplying energy rose above the amount they were allowed to charge. Later this year the uk will host a key Climate Change summit. This crisis is also a Reminder Ofjust how exposed the Uk Energy system remains to the price of gas. Simon jack, Bbc News. The Energy Crisis is already having an impact on Supermarket Chains and their customers. The rise in Gas Prices has caused a shortage of Ioxide'>Carbon DIoxide essential to many Food And Drink productIon methods. The industry is calling on the government to intervene to protect supplies of meat and fresh produce. Our Business Correspondent Emma simpson has more details. This Pig Farm in East Yorkshire sends more than 1,500 animals per week to an abattoir for slaughter. Theyre stunned with Ioxide'>Carbon DIoxide, but if that runs out the Pigs Cant Leave and the backlog will have to be dealt with. If government dont step in and sort this massive problem out then basically these pigs here in this shed will have to be culled on the Farm And Theyll go into landfill. That, to me, is criminal. Heres the issue, most of the uks c02 comes as a By Product from two fertiliser plants in cheshire and on teesside. Theyve shut down because Gas Prices are so high its uneconomic. At the uks biggest Chicken Supplier they use c02 in packaging to prolong Shelf Life and to stun the birds before processing. But the Gas Tanks will soon be empty. We are at a crisis point. Weve got four to five days left and we will have to reduce our productIon by Io . How many chickens is that . Thats over half a millIon chickens a week. How long has the government got to try to solve this then . Youve only got days and hours. The thing here is, the government needs to intervene, get these plants up and running and save christmas and actually, save the food supply chain. Its notjust pork and poultry, c02 is used everywhere in Food Manufacturing to keep stuff fresh for longer. For instance, ready made pizzas, bags of cheese, its in bags of salad, ready meals. Heres a naan bread. And, of course, it puts the fizz into fizzy drinks. Without it, there will be shortages and food waste. It takes a lot of natural Gas And C02 to grow some of our fresh produce, too, like these cucumbers under cover. Growers may have to shorten the Planting Season now that costs are so high. Growers are telling us that if the Energy Market doesnt stabilise or government do not provide some sort of help for the growing sector, that we may have to see an early finish to the Uk Season and a late start next year and replace this with imports. The government insists Food Wont run out, the industry is resilient. But the pressure is now on for ministers to find a solutIon to minimise further disruptIon to the food supply chain.

In a Sudden Change Of Policy By president biden, vaccinated passengers will be able to enter the us from the united kingdom and the Ion'>European UnIon from november. The decisIon will end 20 months of travel restrictIons brought in by president trump. The changes only apply to those travellers who have received two doses of a covid vaccine. The sudden change is being seen as diplomatic achievement for brussels, and for london, and comes as borisjohnson arrived in New York to meet fellow world leaders. More on that visit shortly with our political Editor Laura Kuenssberg, but first our North America Editor Jon Sopel is in washington with more on the travel changes. What led to this . It came Out Of The Blue for downing what led to this . It came Out Of The Blue for Downing Street what led to this . It came Out Of The Blue for Downing Street and what led to this . It came out of the | blue for Downing Street and actually Out Of The Blue for a lot of people in the white house. The expectatIon was, any decisIon was still weeks away, but what seems to have change the Mind Ofjoe Biden is the growing Restlessness And Discontent amongst European Leaders at a time when borisjohnson is going to be in Washington Tomorrow and other European Leaders will be meeting Joe Biden at the united natIons general assembly over afghanistan, the french are furIous about the submarine deal, and just a sign of how rushed the decisIon was, a conversatIon we had with a white House Official who said, when we asked, what happens to people who have astrazeneca vaccines and 12 18 Year Olds with only one jab . The reply was, that is a granular detail. Granular . It would affect millIons of people. The british will get agreement on this issue but what has clearly happened today is that this is great news for the Tourism Industry and great news for tourists but most particularly for all those people who have Loved Ones in america who they have not been able to see since the Travel Ban was introduced last march. To see since the Travel Ban was introduced last march. Thanks for oininu introduced last march. Thanks for joining us introduced last march. Thanks for joining us. That introduced last march. Thanks for joining us. That is introduced last march. Thanks for joining us. That is the introduced last march. Thanks for joining us. That is the latest introduced last march. Thanks for joining us. That is the latest on i joining us. That is the latest on the travel changes. As the Travel Announcement was being made by the white house, borisjohnson was in New York to attend a meeting of the united natIons. Hes urging fellow leaders to sign up to financial and environmental targets, ahead of novembers Climate Change conference, called cop26, In Glasgow. Lets join our political Editor Laura Kuenssberg in New York. What is at stake here . It is a busy da in what is at stake here . It is a busy day in new what is at stake here . It is a busy day in New York and what is at stake here . It is a busy day in New York and theres what is at stake here . It is a busy day in New York and theres a lot | what is at stake here . It is a busy i day in New York and theres a lot at stake for borisjohnson. He has met a gaggle of internatIonal Leaders Today but tomorrow all eyes will be on his one to one withJoe Biden, Theirfirst Chance to on his one to one withJoe Biden, their first chance to eyeball each other in the white house, and his message toJoe Biden will be that the relatIonship is as good as it has been over decades between the two countries, but there are tensIons. Over afghanistan and the Pull Out of troops from kabul but also the uk has been pushing america to give stronger promises on Climate Change, an echo of the Promise Boris Johnson has been giving the united natIons today, and our reporter starts with some flashing images. An emergency unfolding. The point the Prime Minister travelled to New York to make. The united natIons, meeting here, is not united in how to slow down changes to the climate, how much to spend, how much carbon to save. We are close to the moment to start. Borisjohnson� s missIon, to try to push other countries into line. Everybody always agrees that something must be done. Saying something isnt enough for him. Its only chance that has put the uk in charge of trying to get global agreement this autumn, so Success Orfailure is about political ambitIon as well as the planet. We have to grow up and take our responsibilities. I think we go through a perIod of, you know, glorIous indifference about the world. Weve been through that. Weve been through our childhood, if you like. Weve now got to realise that this is a problem that requires grip. The official internatIonal machine urges progress. Our world is challenged like never before. From Climate Change to conflicts, to covid i9. It would be easy to lose hope. But we are not hopeless. Yet, what hope is there, really, when vast countries like china, india huge emitters of Carbon Arent quite so keen . Strangely, this meeting really matters to Downing Street because of the next big internatIonal shindig at home the Climate Conference In Glasgow at the beginning of november. The Prime Minister wants all countries, big and small, wealthy and less so, to make more dramatic promises to cut their carbon, and for the richer ones to put their hands in their pockets to help the others go green. Right now, he only puts the chances of that happening in time at six out of ten, so there is a real demand for borisjohnson to create momentum here in manhattan. But whose mind can he change . The outspoken brazilian leader, whos let the Amazon Forest burn. Borisjohnson had vowed to Telljair Bolsonaro to stop whats going on. But when they actually met, it looked rather friendlier than that. The Prime Minister urging the brazilian to get the astrazeneca vaccine. Get the astrazeneca vaccine. That appeared to have fallen on deaf ears. But every country here this week has its own political climate. Every country, its own interests, too. The american president , on his way to New York tonight, will tomorrow reveal more of his own. Laura kuenssberg, Bbc News, New York. In afghanistan fears are growing that the country will be overwhelmed by a humanitarian crisis. The Secretary General of the united natIons antonIo guterres has said that after decades of war the people of the Country Face perhaps their most perilous moment. The un World Food Programme says only 7 of afghans have enough to eat. The bbc� Sjeremy Bowen in is kabul and he sent this report on conditIons there. The struggle to eat, to live, to survive, did not end when the shooting stopped. At first light, hundreds of building workers looking for a days employment, gather at a Market Place in the centre of kabul. With their tools and without much hope, afghanistan� s economy is closing down. MillIons live in poverty in a country that has received huge sums in foreign aid. These Men Rage about the fortunes stolen by a corrupt elite in the last 20 years. Food prices are rocketing. MillIons barely feed theirfamilies. Hunger could become the worst of afghanistans many crises. 9 billIon that might help them was frozen by the americans to keep it away from the taliban. In the name of allah, we call on america, that they must give the money in the budget that they have directed from afghanistan. They must recognise our new government. MalnutritIon is a chronic problem in afghanistan. Only patients with other severe complicatIons, like three year old mohammed, have a chance of a bed at kabul childrens hospital. But more patients are arriving. The doctors said that was because the World Bank stopped Funding Village Clinics after the taliban victory. Life was never easy in afghanistan. Seven month old mohammed is his mothers fourth living child. Six others died at birth. Like all the other women in the corridor, she wanted to hide her identity. Not a new thing in afghanistan but under the taliban everyone is more cautIous. Taliban fighters are highly visible in kabul. Some here say security is much better, now the fighting is over. For many, its quiet built on fear. Countries that want to help afghans, but detest the taliban and all that they stand for, are in a bind. For people to earn money, to buy food, to look after theirfamilies, the taliban needs to preside over a viable state. Now, for the americans, the british, and all the other countries that fought the taliban for so many years, that might be just too much, especially if the taliban can then claim another victory. A community high above the city carries the scars of a0 years of war. So do the families who live here. This family is leaving for pakistan. The mother, the only breadwinner, taught male students. The taliban stopped her job and her younger daughters educatIon. Theyve sold their possessIons. Leaving is still hard. Their dreams were always fragile in a state riddled with corruptIon, which couldnt survive the departure of its foreign backers. Afghanistans newest crisis is about fundamentals of life food, Security And Hope and the Despair And Anger when theyve gone. Jeremy bowen, Bbc News, kabul. The Minister Of Defence has been accused of compromising the safety of afghan interpreters because of a serIous data breach. More than hundred and 50 trying to get to the uk were copied in on an E Mail asking for an update on their situatIon. Lucy manning has been covering the story, what have you learned . ,. Learned .

Danny savage, Bbc News, Killamarsh Near Sheffield. The voters of germany go to the polls this weekend, to elect their next government and to choose a replacement for Angela Merkel as chancellor. During her 16 years in power, Angela Merkel has played a powerful and prominent role on the world stage. Our Europe Editor Katya Adler has been on a natIonwide Road Trip to ask what germans most want after her departure. Come meet generatIon merkel. Theyve known No Other Prime Minister their whole young lives. She has kept us in a safe space, like a mother would, for the past 16 years, but its now time for a change. Their Wish List for germanys new era after Ion'>Sundays ElectIon is long. I care most about the Climate Problems we have right now in germany. I care most about educatIon and the economy after the next electIon. I really care about gender equality. Germany is really behind when it comes to digitalisatIon so we are far behind in that compared to other countries. Germany lagging behind . That might surprise you. This is more its image abroad. Modern, efficient, high tech. But merkel governments were criticised for failing to invest in germanys future, its infrastructure, road and rail. One in three german villages has poor connectivity. A problem forfamilies and businesses during the pandemic. A Iority-issue'>PrIority Issue in sundays collectIon. Especially with covid when we had to study through the phone and it always stopped and you got kicked out and had to ask again and again what the teacher was talking about. When other countries look at germany they also see what they want to see. The reality is different. People wont be able to live where they want to live, like in villages. I they would have to move to the larger towns because there is a better connectIon. German politics can sometimes be dismissed as staid, even predictable, but with Angela Merkel� s departure after 16 years as chancellor, this is a time of change and that has an impact at home and abroad. Germany is, of course, the eus richest and most powerful natIon, so these electIons are being watched Notjust In Brussels but in beijing, washington, and the uk. Germany, most likely, will continue to be the single most politically stable element in the Ion'>European UnIon and the single biggest economic power in the Ion'>European UnIon. Thats why germany is going to remain important and probably grow in importance for our global and internatIonal partners. Top candidates to replace Angela Merkel have been very low key in their electIon campaigns but dont let that mislead you. In the current climate, of fast changing global politics, what happens in germany matters. Katya adler, Bbc News, frankfurt. On the Spanish Island of La Palma, part of the Canary Islands, thousands of people have been moved from their homes and 100 homes have been destroyed, after a volcano erupted yesterday. Its the first time in a half century that the Cumbre Vieja Volcano last erupted. Our Correspondent Danjohnson is on La Palma and joins us now with the latest. Yes, the police have got a challenge, trying to keep people back, trying to keep them safe. The lava keeps flowing, no one can stop it and no one can determine where it goes and it is a spectacular display, but it is a destructive display. This is natures full force unleashed. It is thunderous to hear and it is powerful and destructive. What everyone is trying to work out, where will the Lava Flow in the next few days and how much will it take with it . Homes that once enjoyed views of this islands impressive volcanic landscape are now being smothered under it. The relentless Downhill Creep of Molten Lava burns its way through anything it touches. The eruptIon follows a week of tremors, but nobody has seen anyThing Like this on La Palma for half a century. Look, look, its falling, the man says. Another house destroyed. Thats more than 100 now, either burned or buried. Eight metres of lava, he says. TranslatIon right now, the most important Thing L is to guarantee security. We are still in the eruptIon phase. Please, lets be extremely careful. So residents of four villages have been ordered to safety and some tourists have decided to go home. I am worried, i am sorry for all the people who are losing or have already lost their houses. There is no good feeling now on this island and therefore we want to leave as fast as possible. This is a Disaster Movie in slow motIon. The lava keeps crawling towards the sea. Spains Tourism Minister sees an opportunity, a chance to entice tourists back to view the eruptIon from a safe distance, because nobody knows how long this will last. Danjohnson, Bbc News, La Palma. Thats it. Now on bbc one, time for the news where you are. Have a very good night. This is Bbc News. The headlines.
