london teacher sabina nessa was killed by a stranger. her body was found near her home on saturday. # ole, ole, ole, ole...# and excitement mounts on the eve of the 43rd ryder cup, delayed by a year by covid. and coming up on the bbc news channel... the australian prime minister says no special deals for families of england cricketers to travel for the ashes. covid restrictions could lead to some players pulling out. good evening. nearly 1.5 million customers have been hit injust two weeks by energy firms collapsing due to rising gas prices. two firms — avro energy and green — ceased trading yesterday, and their combined customers of 830,000 will now be switched to other, potentially more expensive providers. it's not yet clear who their new providers will be — that's to be decided by the energy watchdog 0fgem — but all customers who are affected will still receive energy while an alternative supplier is found. here's our consumer affairs correspondent coletta smith. as the wholesale gas price goes up, suppliers are going under, and customers have been caught in the middle. 1.5 million people are now in the process of being transferred to a new energy company. jamie's supplier

british gas. that's the moment where most of us would jump on a price comparison site, but even they are telling customers to sit tight right now. you may be switched to a more expensive tariff but it

temporarily close some of its petrol stations due to a shortage of lorry drivers. the oil company said it was working hard to address the issues. esso has also said a small number of its sites have also been affected. downing street said there was no shortage of fuel and people should continue to buy it as normal. 0ur midlands correspondent phil mackie is in worcesterfor us. what has been

been expecting a delivery but then were told it would be cancelled because of driver shortages and they don't know when the next one is coming. the bbc has spoken to a pipette petrol shop owner and normally they would order a week in advance and even then they are being delayed and cancelled. all through the day cars have been coming on like this one, realising the pumps are closed and taped off and then driving off. it's not a shortage of fuel, we need to mention that. this is a shortage of lorry drivers. the same reasons we have seen empty supermarket shelves in recent weeks. within a few miles of here there are four other petrol stations that i assume are open. the government is keen to stress that you will not run out of fuel in the next few days. but it is a problem. a statement from most supermarkets said they are generally 0k a statement from most supermarkets said they are generally ok but logistics uk, that represents hauliers, say it is a serious issue that the

one is an hgv lorry driver issues. one is an hgv lorry driver issue and the other is a massive global shortage of gas aggravated by some domestic factors. i think the simple thing to take away from this is that whether your supplier goes bust or not, we are all facing higher bills, as colletta smith was saying. because the cost of onboarding and transferring customers from loss—making companies onto the bigger companies will be recouped through an industrywide thing called the levy so we will see bills go up anyway. whether we like it or not, back in april of next year when they reset the energy price cap, everyone accepts, government, the regulator, the industry, that the price cap is going up. one mechanism that was going up. one mechanism that was going to be in place to provide state backed loans to the bigger companies so they could buy this gas and supply it and bleed it back into bills over a number of years, i have been told there has been put very much on the back burner, but they do accept that if one of the bigger challenge companies, one of those that has grown to between one and 2 million customers goes bust, that would not be ok so they would have to appoint a special administrator and that would be quasi—nationalisation. but a reminder that energy costs are very pervasive and the bank of england is starting to ratchet up its expectation for inflation next year because energy pushes all costs up throughout the economy.— because energy pushes all costs up throughout the economy. simon jack, thank ou. it's a practice that went on for decades — forcing women to give up their babies for adoption because they were unmarried — and it's now to be the subject of an inquiry by a parliamentary committee. it follows a number of reports here on bbc news earlier this year into how women were denied the right to keep their children by doctors, nurses and social workers. the scottish government is also looking at the issue after the bbc�*s reports. 0ur correspondent duncan kennedy has been talking to three members of a separated family about the pain they have suffered. this is the family that was never allowed to be a family. yvonne, the birth mother, andy, the birth father, and liz, their daughter, who was taken from them at birth. yvonne's story began in 1973 when she became pregnant with andy's baby out of wedlock. you're not married, so therefore you're not keeping the baby. which really hurt me. you wanted to have the baby? iwanted... to have my child. but in the �*50s, �*60s and �*70s, thousands of women like yvonne were pressured by social workers, doctors, nurses and churches into giving up their babies for adoption. yvonne says the nurses took her baby at birth. i never even got the chance to hold her, straightaway. i felt cross that i'd just been left like a piece of meat laying on a slab. later, yvonne asked for one final cuddle before her daughter was adopted. but her social worker refused. i felt that my baby had just been snatched away from me without a final goodbye. not knowing if i would ever see that child again. sorry. andy, the birth father, says he was never permitted to see liz, his newborn baby. i'd been told without a doubt that i wasn't going to be allowed into the hospital to see yvonne or the baby. so there was a huge chunk of her life where she didn't... ..have any relationship with her birth parents. and it was difficult, yeah. liz was adopted into a loving family, but says she was always confused by what had happened to her. what did you come to think of your birth mother? did you come to resent what she did? was there any anger? yes, idid. because i had no idea why. why would you give up a baby? i never understood that as a child. i just couldn't understand. since the bbc first broadcast the story of forced adoptions, dozens of other people have come forward to tell their stories. and today it was confirmed parliament's joint committee on human rights is to hold an enquiry. it took yvonne, andy and liz 29 years for them to reunite. and they say it's time now for an official apology. i was literally taken _ from my birth mother's arms. so i think an apology- wouldn't take away the pain, but it would certainly help, yes. my little daughter made a comment to say that... ..they'd been... they'd been denied a relationship. for so much of their lives. i will never, ever have another child. so i lost the only thing in my life that i ever wanted. yvonne laybrum ending that report by duncan kennedy. nhs waiting times in a&e departments in wales have been revealed as the worst ever. health is the responsibility of the devolved government, and in wales a fifth of the population is on some kind of health waiting list — again, the highest figure ever. in accident and emergency in august, nearly 69% of patients waited under four hours for treatment. the target is 95%. in a&e, nearly 8,000 people waited over 12 hours to be seen — the worst on record. the target is zero. and for ambulance call—outs, only 57.6% of the most urgent calls were responded to within eight minutes. the target is 65%. here's our wales correspondent, hywel griffith. it is a symptom of a system in crisis. ambulances queued outside a&e unable to hand over their patients or reach others in need. amy knows what that means. two weeks ago she fell from a horse and ruptured her spleen. unable to move, she waited nine hours for the paramedics to arrive. i got very disoriented because i wasn't allowed to move my legs. my legs were really aching and to not be able to move your legs for nine hours, it's not very nice at all. the ambulance did get called 11 times. and they didn't even send out a first aid person to come and see me. the ambulance service has apologised, but paramedics likejohn warn there is often little they can do if they are held outside a hospital, sometimes for an entire 11 hour shift. i think what we are facing is a lot of frustration, because we are waiting at hospitals and we are hearing the calls on the radio asking for any available crews to respond, and we're just not able to respond, and that is very frustrating. because at the end of the day we are there to provide care and that's what we want to do. waiting times inside a&e are now the worst on record. the four—hour target has never been hit. the pandemic has worsened what was already a decade—long problem. of course i apologise to people within wales who have been waiting for such a long time, but this is an unprecedented time, and of course we do hope that people will bear with us. the pressure is coming from every angle. more elderly patients who have become more frail during lockdown, but also younger people, whose mental health has suffered and find a&e the only place to turn. doctors on the front line here say it feels like winter has already hit, and warn even tougher times are ahead. we could see patients having to wait longer for admission to a bed. and we will see the hospital becoming more crowded as those admissions go up with patients, notjust with covid, but also with flu and other respiratory infections. the ambulance service has now called on the army for help, but few expect an instant cure for the nhs�*s ails. hywel griffith, bbc news. the high court has dismissed a challenge to the law that allows foetuses with down's syndrome to be aborted up to the point of birth. heidi crowter brought the case against the government with two other parties injuly, saying the legislation did not respect her life. her legal team had argued the rules were unlawfully discriminatory. detectives are investigating whether primary school teacher sabina nessa was killed by a stranger who is still at large. the body of the 28—year—old was found by a member of the public in cator park in kidbrooke in south—east london on saturday. officers believe she was attacked shortly after leaving her home on friday evening. lauren moss reports. a community in shock and looking for answers. what should have been a five—minute walk to meet a friend has become a murder investigation. primary school teacher sabina nessa may have been attacked by a stranger near her home in kidbrooke. we believe, as she walked through the park, she was approached by an individual and fatally attacked. sabina's body was sadly found by a member of the public and we are appealing for anyone who was here on friday evening and who thinks they saw anything unusual to come forward. a postmortem examination carried out on sabina was inconclusive and police say they're keeping an open mind about the motive of the attack. sabina had planned to meet a friend at this bar on friday night, but she never arrived. police believe she was attacked as she walked through cator park. it's understood the 28—year—old left her home on astell road around 8:30pm on friday. she walked through cator park heading towards the depot bar. her body was found near the community centre on saturday afternoon. sabina's sister has posted a tribute to her on social media, writing, "my beautiful, talented and caring sister. my inspiration to never let anybody put me down. never in my life did i or my sisters, or my mum and dad, think this could happen to us." six months after the murder of sarah everard in clapham, women's safety campaigners say the streets still aren't safe. this is not on women to protect ourselves. we need the perpetrators to be stopped. there is nothing done about harassment level offences. there's very little done about indecent exposure offences. people don'tjust go out and murder right away. a man in his 40s arrested on suspicion of murder has been released under investigation. a candlelit vigil will be held for sabina in kidbrooke tomorrow night. lauren moss, bbc news. the time is 6.18. our top story this evening... more than a million customers are hit by the latest energy firm's collapse. ministers are

aiming for an eighth victory in ten meetings. tenants are being evicted because of rent arrears built up over the pandemic, despite a government commitment that covid wouldn't leave anyone without a home. one third of eviction hearings monitored in england and wales over the summer stated covid as the reason that rent hadn't been paid. 0ur social affairs correspondent michael buchanan has been speaking to those affected. i've got lots of favourites! in liverpool, joanne, marshall and little roman have two weeks to leave their home. oh, thank you. all our incomejust kept going down and down and down, and then we ended up with spiralling debt, to be fair. marshall's newjob as a chef fell through due to the lockdown. he didn't qualify for furlough with his previous employer, and he couldn't find any work for a year. why is it not working? their bills racked up, they owe their landlord £4,000 and have been served with an eviction notice. it's not how it was supposed to be, do you know what i mean? and it makes me feel a bit sick. like, we both grew up coming from, you know, in poverty, so we tried our best to get out of that. you know, we've always been working people. we wanted to change the tide and things like that, and it's not easy to get out of. and then ijust feel like obviously roman has just been and then ijust feel like obviously roman hasjust been born into the exact same situation, and it is not nice to feel, it is embarrassing. county courts have been inundated with landlords seeking to remove tenant since the ban on evictions was lifted in the summer.

including last time in paris in 2018. this year's event was scheduled to take place in 2020 but was delayed by the pandemic. andy swiss is in whistling straits, wisconsin, for us. yes, whistling straits is certainly living up to its name at the moment, pretty blustery conditions for the start of the ryder cup as europe look to continue that recent domination. but they are going to have to do it the hard way against a strong us team and a partisan crowd. relaxed and ready to go. if europe's players are feeling any nerves, well, judging by their team photo, you'd hardly have guessed it. but then spirit is their speciality. they've won four of the past five ryder cups, most recently in paris in 2018. inspired by the man known as the postman, ian poulter, they say, always delivers, and three years on, europe's talisman can hardly wait. any opportunity you have to grab hold of that trophy when it's on away soil is pretty magical. we're nearly go—time, and there's no better feeling that i've ever had than pegging it up on the first tee at the ryder cup. # god bless america! but can they silence america's fans? with european supporters unable to travel to the us, the home advantage is deafening. chanting: usa! usa! usa! europe's select few supporters here, like these us—based expats, know it'll be some challenge. there's going to be a lot of shouting against them, come to time, so hopefully they can come together and pull out another win. 0ne round of oles? # 0le, ole, ole, ole # 0le, ole! yeah, that's enough. we're getting some looks. well, here on the shores of lake michigan, the us will start as strong favourites. but can a team that have so often struggled in the ryder cup finally rise to the occasion? a long—running feud between bryson dechambeau and team—mate brooks koepka has once again put america's unity under scrutiny. but with eight of the world's top ten players, their confidence is clear. whatever people think about me is is not important. it's about the team this week. it's about riling us all up and getting that ryder cup back here on us soil. europe have been on the charm offensive in practice, wearing foam cheeseheads — the nickname for fans of the local american football team. but winning friends is one thing, winning this ryder cup will be far tougher. andy swiss, bbc news, whistling straits. time for a look at the weather — here's ben rich. but evening. it's been another unseasonably warm day for many but not quite everyone. central and southern parts of the uk have seen temperatures up to 23 degrees, but in shetland, despite some sunshine, we were languishing at 10 degrees this afternoon because of this cold air that blew down from the north. however, that is not a sign of things to come because over the next few days, the orange colours win out, and they will be warm conditions for the time of year. with that, quite a lot of cloud and splashes of rain. some spots of drizzle, some misty and murky conditions for western scotland and northern ireland, perhaps the north west of england by the end of the night. some clear spells in the south and east allowing it to get a little bit chilly, but for most it is a mild start tomorrow, particularly where there's lots of cloud. some of that getting down into wales, always with the potential for the odd spot of rain. quite windy across the northern
