deals are out there? good morning. so absolutely, they should let - deals are out there? good morning. so absolutely, they should let that i so absolutely, they should let that process happen. the main reason for thatisif process happen. the main reason for that is if they have built up any credit with their previous supplier that will be automatically transferred to the new supplier and the best way to make sure that happens in the most efficient way possible is to sit through the process, make sure it is completed and then have a look around if anything is available. the and then have a look around if anything is available. the ground is still shifting. _ anything is available. the ground is still shifting, isn't _ anything is available. the ground is still shifting, isn't it? _ anything is available. the ground is still shifting, isn't it? we _ anything is available. the ground is still shifting, isn't it? we heard -

deal is? so we are constantly assessing the situation. it. deal is? so we are constantly - assessing the situation. it changes hourly, and we are just making sure we are doing what is right by the customers. at the moment, the best advice is to sit tight, and if you are on a fixed tariff your prices will not rise until your tariff runs out. if you are on a variable tariff it is protected by the price cap, so it is protected by the price cap, so it is protected by the price cap, so it is likely to be the best deal for you for now. it is likely to be the best deal for you for now-— it is likely to be the best deal for you for now. clearly, some people are looking _ you for now. clearly, some people are looking around _ you for now. clearly, some people are looking around and _ you for now. clearly, some people are looking around and we - you for now. clearly, some people are looking around and we have i you for now. clearly, some people. are looking around and we have had messages from viewers wondering whether they should go for a cheaper variable deal at this point, or a fixed deal, which is more expensive, sure, but they are wondering whether thatis sure, but they are wondering whether that is the right way to go given the volatility at the moment? 50 it the volatility at the moment? so it de-ends the volatility at the moment? so it depends on _ the volatility at the moment? so it depends on everyone _ the volatility at the moment? ’sr it depends on everyone because my individual circumstances. if, for example, you are worried about how to go through winter it is likely that everyone's individual circumstances. it is likely that will be the best price for now, the variable deal. the caveat is maybe sign up for a news alert for when the better deal becomes available. if you're worried long term what the crisis might do a fixed deal might be the right thing for you, but i caution there, make sure you can afford it, because a fixed deal is for 12 or 24 months so you will be set on those prices for that time. is it possible to say at this stage, justina, how much typically prices might go up by? tt is justina, how much typically prices might go up by?— might go up by? it is difficult to sa in might go up by? it is difficult to say in the _ might go up by? it is difficult to say in the long _ might go up by? it is difficult to say in the long term _ might go up by? it is difficult to say in the long term but - might go up by? it is difficult to say in the long term but at - might go up by? it is difficult to say in the long term but at the l say in the long term but at the moment the prices are going to stay where they are on the 0fgem's default price cap, so that will stay where it is as of the 1st of october, so admittedly there is 0ctober, so admittedly there is a rise happening next week but from there onwards until the 1st of april there onwards until the 1st of april the price will stay the same. various people we have been talking to about this story have been repeating the same sort of piece of advice, and i think it's worth repeating with you and i'm sure you would agree, that if you have a company that has gone bust or you are worried about your energy supplier you should try to take a photograph, or in some way download the information that you have on bills, your credit history etc, so you actually have proof of that. absolutely. that will simply make the process a lot easier, because as you can imagine when the supplier bust goes and the new supplier takes over is lots and lots of admin that goes into it so anything that would help that process, it is really useful to have evidence of your account. ,., ., useful to have evidence of your account. ., ., ,, ., account. good to talk to you, justina miltienyte, _ account. good to talk to you, justina miltienyte, thank- account. good to talk to you, justina miltienyte, thank you | very much,. it could take more than a decade to clear the backlog of patients waiting for cancer treatment in england, according to a report. the research estimates that 19,500 people who should have been diagnosed with cancer had not been, because of missed referrals. 0ur health correspondent, dominic hughes has more. a report could mean a huge backlog of cases we don't know about. the report estimates 19,500 people have less diagnosis because of missed referrals. diagnostics is a big issue with the pandemic leading to a 37% drop in endoscopies, 25% drop in mri scans, and 10% fewer ct scans than expected. nhs england says cancer services have now returned to pre—pandemic levels but the report says if the health service was able to improve that performance by 5% the backlog would still not be cleared until 20 —— 2033. the authors warn that without a big investment in equipment and staff, thousands of people would be left waiting for a diagnosis and treatment. dominic hughes, bbc news. that was dominic hughes with that story. let's return to the story of sabina nessa, and eventual is to be held for sabina tonight, week after the primary school teacher was killed when she walked to meet a friend south—east london. police are questioning a 38—year—old man in connection with the murder in cator park in kidbrooke. let's talk to jess leigh from our streets now. thanks forjoining. i believe you will be attending the vigil later on. t. will be attending the vigil later on. , ., on. i, with hundreds if not thousands _ on. i, with hundreds if not thousands of _ on. i, with hundreds if not thousands of people, -

safe they feel? you know, i would love to be on here because things| love to be on here because things have changed, but sadly it's quite the opposite, because not much. since the beginning of this year over 100 women have died at the hands of male violence. we were told six months ago things were changing and they haven't. we are still being sexually harassed on the street, women of colour especially are still being attacked and women are still being attacked and women are still being murdered and according to a recent survey 80% of mixed race girls have experienced sexual harassment. violence against women, girls, it is academic in this country, something has to change. t country, something has to change. i want to talk about what that needs to be in a second. how frustrated are you, jess, that after sabina's murder we're still talking about this narrative of safety tips for women, alarms being handed out, when theissueis women, alarms being handed out, when the issue is not the behaviour of women but violence from some men? 50 women but violence from some men? sr frustrated. harassment does not live in pipestone, it lives in people. we need to stop talking about how women can protect themselves and start teaching men and boys how not to sexually harass women —— does not live in paves down. we have a project called in our schools and now specifically for that, we have lesson plans, curriculum plans to teach men and boys about this type of violence but also to let women know it is not their fault, that they shouldn't be policing what they are wearing or what they are carrying, because this harassment lives in the people, not the paver stones they go on.— lives in the people, not the paver stones they go on. obviously that is art of the stones they go on. obviously that is part of the solutions _ stones they go on. obviously that is part of the solutions you _ stones they go on. obviously that is part of the solutions you see, but. part of the solutions you see, but what else needs to be done to really make difference, to change the culture, isuppose, so make difference, to change the culture, i suppose, so women can feel perfectly safe whether it is walking five minutes away from their home or wherever it might be. we for one want public— home or wherever it might be. we for one want public sexual _ home or wherever it might be. we for one want public sexual harassment i home or wherever it might be. we for one want public sexual harassment to be made a criminal offence in the uk because our laws completely reflect our culture. in this country you can get fined for dropping a piece of litter but you can shout horrific, awful things that somebody and then there are no questions. we have a petition of nearly 500,000, and we know violence doesn't occur in a vacuum. finally, we know greater funding for organisations specifically tackling violence against women and particularly those for black and marginalised women needs to take place. we can't talk about this as a five year plan, ten year plan. we can't reduce these women down to statistics. these are people with real lives and real families, and we are sick of seeing strategies. something needs to change now, laws need to be put in place and greater funding towards violence again —— towards these organisations need to happen. jess leiah organisations need to happen. jess lei . h from organisations need to happen. jess leigh from our streets now, thank you very much. it is 26 minutes past nine. we have been asking you to get in touch about one of our other stories, the shortage of hgv drivers, which has caused issues in the supply chain, and the most recent issue over petrol filling forecourts, some petrol filling forecourts, some petrol stations affected by this. we should say on the a few. the problem is not with a supply of fuel. the feel is there but it is getting it to these filling stations. your thoughts... liam says the biggest problem is the cost of the hgv licence. surely the solution would be to reduce the cost of the license to encourage people to take it up. another one, open the fuel shortage was entirely predictable, it was known some time ago this was always a possibility —— "the fuel shortage. brexit has many consequences, of which the driver shortage is just one. government asleep at the wheel? " that is one comment. but this from gary... uk shortages are all down to the haulage industry, he says. they had four years to get ready for brexit and they are still blaming this on eu drivers not returning. they have caused this by not granting the void left by eu drivers after brexit. i think you're seeing in those last two years to get ready for brexit and they are still blaming this on eu drivers not returning. they have caused this by not granting the void left by eu drivers after brexit. i think you're seeing in those last two tweet two sides a few people as well concerned as well whether it hgv driving, the course typically takes nine months to train and qualify as an hgv driver, so some people saying they are concerned if the requirements are concerned if the requirements are reduced what that will mean for safety on the roads. thank you for sending those thoughts in and to keep them coming into me and you can do that on twitter, @annita—mcveigh, and use the hashtag bbc your questions. time for a look at the weather forecast and you can head across the newsroom to join matt taylor. good morning. how are things looking into the weekend? good morning. this is not until after the weekend. the next few days continue on the warm side whether you have cloud or sunshine. today there is certainly plenty of cloud across western areas and it has been a bit of a murky start. you can see that on the satellite imagery, all this cloud coming in on a westerly breeze. towards the south and south—east, this is where we saw some health of this morning, starting to lift and will continue to do so. sunshine coming through southern and eastern areas today. staying cloudy towards western coasts and hills and further light rain and drizzle for some of you. for the vast majority, a dry day. even with the cloud, temperatures in the east could get up to may be parts of 24 across parts of east anglia, 21 in aberdeen. above where we should be for this time of year. a warm night tonight for some the stock closed across the north—east of scotland before rain arrived across the highlands and islands. but most will be dry. temperatures somewhere around the mid teens and a lot of cloud to begin saturday. great for many but we will see sunny spells breakthrough. the odd light shower here and there, especially in the west and most will be dry. the southerly breeze tomorrow. parts of north wales bright today across the aberdeenshire coast once again, and look at the temperatures. still higher than they should be for this time of year. hello, this is bbc news. the headlines... the government says it will do whatever it takes, as a shortage of lorry drivers causes some petrol stations to close. i'm not saying there aren't pressures — there are. it's just that we are making many, many changes and moving heaven and earth, if you like, to get people into driving hgvs. a 38—year—old man has been arrested on suspicion of murdering the primary school teacher sabina nessa in south—east london. the metropolitan police has also released an image of another man they are searching for — seen walking through nearby pegler square. it could take more than a decade to clear the backlog of patients waiting for cancer treatment in england. that's the warning in a report by a think—tank. restaurant, cafe and pub bosses in the uk will soon be banned from keeping customer tips left for staff, under new rules. and coming up... it's nearly time to grab the sequins and put on the dancing shoes — with just 24 hours to go until strictly come dancing waltzes its way back onto our screens. sport and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre, here's mike. good morning. we are just a few hours away from one of sport's greatest rivalries being renewed for the first time in three years. team europe may hold the ryder cup, but they face a hostile partisan 40,000—strong crowd now in wisconsin, with team usa favourties on paper to win back the famous trophy. the americans, though, do have questions over their team spirit. andy swiss is there for us... so can they do it again? europe's team were cheered to the stage as the ryder cup was officially opened in front of thousands of fans. but they know they face some challenge. on paper, america's team is one of the strongest ever with eight of the world's top ten players. but after a year's delay because of covid, there was relief on both sides that one of golf�*s most famous events is finally back. there is no question, the ryder cup is a special occasion, but all things considered, has there ever been the prospect of a ryder cup quite as special as this one? after all the world has been through these past two years, it is such a joy and relief to be standing here in front of you today, and in front of so many of you. well, in just a few hours' time, this long—awaited ryder cup will finally be under way and the stands here will be filled with cheering supporters. but one thing is for certain, not many of them will be cheering for europe. # god bless america! america's home advantage has never been greater. because of travel restrictions to the us, there are just a sprinkling of european fans here. but padraig harrington's team have been busy winning friends. during final practice, they threw gifts into the crowd and received an enthusiastic welcome. but they will know their opponents are ready for the challenge. they're playing great and they're excited to get going. i mean, i can't tell you how excited they are to get going and get that first tee ball in the air. but europe, remember, have won four of the last five ryder cups, including the most recent one in paris in 2018. they might be the underdogs but they'll be hoping once again for a bit of that ryder cup magic. andy swiss, bbc news, whistling straits. the body that represents europe's top football clubs has raised what it's called "grave concern and alarm" over fifa's plans for a world cup every two years. the european club's association, the eca, says the proposals by fifa would lead to a "direct and destructive impact" on club football and players�* health and wellbeing would be put at risk. former arsenal manager arsene wenger is leading the calls for fewer international breaks to stage more world cups. and in an interview with bbc podcast the sports desk, he says he is ready "to gamble to make football better." i would say the world cup is such a huge event that i don't think it will diminish the prestige. you want to be the best in the world and you want to be the best in the world every year. so i don't think that to organise a world cup every two years would be diminishing the prestige. next to a record—breaking day for england's cricketers, as they wrapped up their women's one—day series against new zealand. chasing 245 for victory at derby, captain heather knight hit a century, as england got home in the final over to win by three wickets. it's their highest ever succesful one—day international run chase, and means they take an unbeatable 3—1 lead in the series. anthonyjoshua has opened up about how he deals with the stress and mental challenge of competing at an elite level. the wba, wbo and ibf world heavyweight champion defends his titles tomorrow against the former undisputed cruiserweight champion 0leksandr usyk in london, and says it's the little things in life that matter. it's a lonely sport, yeah. so we're talking now, we're chill, but there will be a time when i'm on my own and thinking about it. when you wake up sometimes, i don't have the best sleep. if you wake up with, thank god i'm awake, thank god for this water i'm about to drink, and i'm happy, it changes the perspective of your day. that's how i've been dealing with all this pressure is, i'm happy to be here, no pressure, no stress. advice for us all. that's all the sport for now. let's get more now on our main story — the transport secretary has said the government will "do whatever is required" to tackle petrol supply problems in the uk. grant shapps said he wouldn't rule out changing visa rules to allow more foreign drivers to work in britain — or even asking the army to help, although he said using the military "probably" wasn't the solution. drivers are being told not to panic buy fuel after bp was forced to close down a handful of its forecourts. let's talk to our political correspondent nick eardley. good morning, nick. when the transport secretary says the government will do whatever is required, in practice, what does it mean? ,., ., required, in practice, what does it mean? , ., ., required, in practice, what does it mean? , ., . ., �* mean? good question, and i don't honestly know _ mean? good question, and i don't honestly know the _ mean? good question, and i don't honestly know the answer, - mean? good question, and i don't. honestly know the answer, because mean? good question, and i don't- honestly know the answer, because we have heard the government say, do not panic, there is plenty of petrol in the refineries, the problem is just getting it into forecourts because of that lack of hgv drivers. but the government has not said much about what it is planning to do over the next few days. so there are a couple of things that it had already announced because of other shortages in the supply chain in the last few weeks, so it has been made a bit easier to get an hgv licence, the process for doing that has been streamlined, a limit on the number of hours hgv drivers can work is being increased ever so slightly as well, to allow slightly longer shifts, but from the transport secretary this morning, we heard, yes, he is not ruling out the idea of temporary visas to allow people to come to the uk, but there is a lot of reluctance in government to do that. the home office do not think it is an appropriate long—term solution, it does not address the long—term problems. we also heard grant shapps say this morning he was worried that if you encouraged some cheaper foreign worried that if you encouraged some cheaperforeign labour worried that if you encouraged some cheaper foreign labour into the worried that if you encouraged some cheaperforeign labour into the uk, you could put some people off joining the workforce in the uk, those hgv drivers they want to persuade to come and work in that sector through higher wages and better conditions. it is not completely clear to me the government is taking that prospect particularly seriously at the moment, even if it is not completely ruling it out. he also did not rule out the idea of bringing the army into help, something which some tory mps have been floating as an idea this morning in the newspapers, but it does not seem that is an imminent prospect. numberten it does not seem that is an imminent prospect. number ten had been playing that stamp, something that is definitely on the cards as well. the government is hoping the plans it has to urge people to be cautious and get some more home—grown hgv drivers into the system, and they can be enough, but over the last few weeks, we keep returning to this. there were some shortages at supermarkets, there are now shortages of petrol in some forecourts because of this hgv driver problem, and i think the question the government will keep being asked is, what are those immediate term solutions if the immediate term solutions if the immediate term solutions if the immediate term problem keeps cropping up?

is it the case the government's hand might be i cropping up? is it the case the i government's hand might be forced cropping up? is it the case the - government's hand might be forced on this? i heard from logistics uk area, representing lots of logistics businesses and they say the government's plan is ok for the medium—term, but they need short—term action immediately. that short-term action immediately. that is it, there is — short-term action immediately. that is it, there is this _ short—term action immediately. ’tngt is it, there is this message in politics that when you tell people not to panic, it is often a sign that you are worried people are about to panic, and quite often it leads to people panicking it, and if we have a situation over the next few days where this problem does not improve or potentially get slightly worse and we see more shortages at forecourts, the government is going to come under considerable pressure to come under considerable pressure to come under considerable pressure to come up with some sort of immediate ten solution. the easiest thing, i suppose, immediate ten solution. the easiest thing, isuppose, would be immediate ten solution. the easiest thing, i suppose, would be to allow more people into the country and get hgv licence holders on the continent who are less likely to come over because of the pandemic or brexit making visa rules more complicated, that could be one immediate solution to the problem. perhaps not as easy as it sounds, though, because another thing to bear in mind is this is not a uk problem, there has also been a shortage of hgv drivers in a number of european countries as well. some of that workforce is being snapped up domestically on the continent, so there are going to be, i think, continent, so there are going to be, ithink, if continent, so there are going to be, i think, if these problems persist, real questions about what the government can do to stabilise the problem in the immediate term, like we saw with energy earlier this week. but it is not clear there is an immediate solution either. thank ou ve an immediate solution either. thank you very much _ an immediate solution either. thank you very much for — an immediate solution either. thank you very much for that. _ the bbc has obtained first—hand accounts from migrants who claim they've been illegally deported from the european union by polish border troops. eu members poland, latvia and lithuania have each declared a state of emergency, amid a surge of thousands of people trying to cross from belarus. the eu has accused the belarusian president alexander lukashenko of using migrants as weapons — by luring them in and then sending them towards eu countries. poland has banned human rights activists and journalists from its border zone — but our europe correspondent nick beake and video journalist bruno boelpaep travelled to the area and have just sent this special report. they thought they were going to die — stranded in the freezing forest, farfrom home. we found kelly and owen, brothers from nigeria, they claimed they had been pushed back and forth by both belarusian and polish border guards for the past three weeks. they were playing us like football — the belarusians would beat us, push us to poland, in poland, they catch us, beat us, push us back to belarus. the men had flown to belarus from various countries, all with the promise they would be able to travel on to a neighbouring country in the eu. but this 21—year—old from cameroon explained what belarussian troops actually did. they monitor the polish police across the border, they tell us, "this way there is no polish police," so they will tell us, we must cross those wires. so we creep and crawl under... we can see a lot of people here are not in a good state. apparently a doctor is on the way, but also the border force are on their way, so it is not clear what is going to happen to these men. belarus is often called europe's last dictatorship, but poland, an eu country, has declared that migrants can be pushed back over its border, a policy that is illegal under international law. have your border force been pushing migrants back into belarus? "talk to our press office", he tells us. human rights activists have been trying to find those stranded on the border. we don't know how many other deaths there are in the forest. this lawyer has been working here for a month. politicians are talking about politics, but what we can see is just people, it is not politics at all. it is just people that need assistance, people that need medical assistance, people that need international protection to not be returned to the country where they face danger. so here on the ground it is absolutely not politics, it is just a humanitarian crisis that we are dealing with right now. the fear among charities, human rights groups is that we're going to be seeing more of this because more people are coming to belarus, more people are trying to get across the border into poland, into the european union. back in the forest, another young man emerges from the woodland. jafar is a 20—year—old from iraq, he has got hypothermia. he and two others are taken to hospital, the rest driven to a quarantine centre. but all fear they will soon be sent back to the freezing forest once again. nick beake, bbc news, on the poland—belarus border. the headlines on bbc news... the government says it will do whatever it takes, as a shortage of lorry drivers causes some petrol stations to close. a 38—year—old man has been arrested on suspicion of murdering the primary school teacher sabina nessa in south—east london. it could take more than a decade to clear the backlog of patients waiting for cancer treatment in england. that's the warning in a report by a think—tank. residents in south—western spain have a mammoth clean—up operation ahead, after towns were inundated with floodwater following torrential rain. it comes as world leaders focus on the climate crisis during talks at the un general assembly. tanya dendrinos reports. a torrent of fast flowing water, streets submerged after heavy rain caused flash flooding in parts of south—western spain. translation: breathtaking, - the water that fell was not normal. cars piled up as they were carried away on a road resembling more of a river, while fences simply gave way. according to spain's meteorological agency, huelva province received more than 100 millimetres of rain in a matter of hours on thursday. as the water receded, muddy streets were filled with people and possessions. locals clearing their homes of everything unsalvageable, some struggling to comprehend the devastating reality at the beginning of a lengthy recovery effort. translation: i'm left with nothing, nothing, and i am just _ an 82—year—old pensioner. i'm 82 years old and i have nothing left. it's just another extreme weather event, and this in the week world leaders are gathered for the un general assembly, with calls for action on climate change taking centre stage. tanya dendrinos, bbc news. restaurant, cafe and pub bosses in the uk will soon be banned from keeping customer tips left for staff. it's currently up to business owners to decide whether the money is divided equally or put back into the company. the government legislation is expected to come into force within the next year. simon wood is chef patron at wood restaurants in manchester. lovely to have you with us today. how do you operate at your restaurant?
