we have the energy regulator to provide - should intervene in? we have the energy regulator to provide that l energy regulator to provide that oversight of the retail supply sector and the industry at large. the government has, to date, certainly been reluctant to directly intervene in the energy market and i appreciate it is an area that is very much, very important as part as political decision—making and the wider economy, it has implications for of the country as a whole. we saw the wholesale gas price drop again yesterday when vladimir putin said, if you give me approvalfor my pipeline, i can send you more oil from russia to the eu, we get much of it from the eu. are we reliant on people like vladimir putin now? certainly as far as the wider global and european supply dynamic is concerned. you know, confidence over where gas is going to come from, whether it is pipeline gas from russia, pipeline gas from norway or liquefied natural gas from other parts of the world, it is all playing into the european and british energy supply mix. so anything that will lead to that confidence that there will be more gas available, you will see that reflected in prices and, ultimately, the uk has been a net gas import are no for in excess of a decade.- no for in excess of a decade. thank ou ve no for in excess of a decade. thank you very much. _ no for in excess of a decade. thank you very much, craig _ no for in excess of a decade. thank you very much, craig lowry - no for in excess of a decade. thank you very much, craig lowry from i you very much, craig lowry from cornwall inside. let's talk to our business correspondent victoria fritz. what should people _ correspondent victoria fritz. what should people do? _ should people do? what can you do, this is the problem. we are talking about the standard default tariffs here. there are 15 million households on these tariffs. as you have said, we have already seen a price rise on that cap this month of over £100. we are looking potentially, and these are forecasts, it is important to say but we are looking potentially at a situation where the rises again another 400. situation where the rises again another400. it situation where the rises again another 400. it is not like the old days where you are able to shop around and find another deal. mr lowry was talking about what has been going on with the wholesale prices and to your point about vladimir putin and the fact that wholesale prices dropped when he made those comments, they are still seven times higher than they would ordinarily be, so it is notjust the wholesale prices it is also the competition aspect as well. so consumers are facing this double whammy of being caught between what is going on in the wider market, the wholesale market, but also what is happening in terms of competition in this industry and we have seen, pretty much within the last month or so, nine supply is completely drop out of the market. are we going to see more? — nine suppliers. the money is on, yes, we are going to see more drop out of this market and it is not like you can shop around and find a better deal. 0fgem, the energy regulator, says it wholesale gas prices continue to rise, the energy cap will have to go but at the moment, it is fixed for winter 2021 and into 2022. i the moment, it is fixed for winter 2021 and into 2022.— 2021 and into 2022. i am 'ust readin: 2021 and into 2022. i am 'ust reading messages * 2021 and into 2022. i am 'ust reading messages from h 2021 and into 2022. | am just l reading messages from viewers 2021 and into 2022. | am just - reading messages from viewers about the kind of deals they are on at the moment. this is from jim the kind of deals they are on at the moment. this is fromjim in lancashire, my dualfuel moment. this is fromjim in lancashire, my dual fuel bill deal is running out and i paid £1500 for the year. the best deal i can get now is £2500. i mean, that is not going to be sustainable for some people, is it? going to be sustainable for some people. is it?— people, is it? no, it's not, is it? and this is— people, is it? no, it's not, is it? and this is the _ people, is it? no, it's not, is it? and this is the thing, _ people, is it? no, it's not, is it? and this is the thing, you - people, is it? no, it's not, is it? and this is the thing, you look. and this is the thing, you look about these government announcements about these government announcements about these government announcements about the poorest households will receive help but what about the people in the middle? the people who don't qualify to be the poorest households? you're absolutely right, this is going to be felt everywhere. it is families, it is people on their own, people all through the food chain. it is businesses as well because we are hearing from the manufacturers, there was a paper company, it is quoted in the bbc article, it is the lead item on the website and there is a paper supplier and they are saying that since january, their prices for energy have gone up a 550%. what are they supposed to do? you have manufacturers and companies saying this is going to have to be passed on to the end consumer, so it means that we are looking at a situation where your energy bills are likely to go but also the costs of everyday goods is going to go up as well, so it is a very, very difficult scenario and, at the moment, it is very difficult to understand or know what to do. ~ . , very difficult to understand or know what to do— what to do. what is the industry itself saying _ what to do. what is the industry itself saying about _ what to do. what is the industry itself saying about all _ what to do. what is the industry itself saying about all of - what to do. what is the industry itself saying about all of this? i | itself saying about all of this? i mean, looking for more support, looking for more bailouts. the pressure has got to be utterly immense. you know, they are looking at laying people off, they are looking at trying to get some shoring up but it is a very, very difficult thing to do and, at the end of the day, there will be some who will be able to ride this out and others who simply will not and so it is going to be really interesting from the point of view of policy as to where the government draws the line in terms of supporting this industry, because, ultimately, it is you and me and it is our viewers and everyone across the uk, who will be affected by this. this isn'tjust a political drama that is happening in a bubble, this affects everyone in their everyday lives, where they live, where they were, where they play, what they do, what they order from the internet, it is across the board and so there is no way are just neatly putting this in a nice westminster bubble where, you know, it can be parked alongside a whole bunch of other things going on at the moment. this needs urgent attention and, hopefully, for consumers and customers around the uk, it will be getting it. the ener: uk, it will be getting it. the energy companies _ uk, it will be getting it. the energy companies themselves, would they like to see the price cap withdrawn, so they could actually charge even higher prices, so they can afford, they might argue, the wholesale price?— wholesale price? well, you know what, i wholesale price? well, you know what. i would — wholesale price? well, you know what, i would be _ wholesale price? well, you know what, i would be hesitant- wholesale price? well, you know what, i would be hesitant to - wholesale price? well, you know. what, i would be hesitant to answer for them. what, i would be hesitant to answer forthem. i what, i would be hesitant to answer for them. i think that's a very good question that we can be putting as the bbc to these energy companies and find out exactly what they want and find out exactly what they want and whether or not that sort of thing would work for them. however, if everyone was allowed to do what they want and charge what they want, then we would be in a situation that we were back in the old days, when people were being absolutely fleeced on some of their standard and default tariffs and we are back in the sort of dog days of the energy market, so whether or not that is a good thing remains open to debate. whether or not it is something the energy companies want... i'm sure that they probably would, they would love to be able to charge whatever they can for the energy and pass those costs on. however, it is not necessarily something that is feasible and certainly at the moment certainly something that is not possible. certainly something that is not ossible. . ~ certainly something that is not ossible. ., ,, , ., , certainly something that is not ossible. . ~' , . possible. thank you very much, victoria. possible. thank you very much, victoria- a _ possible. thank you very much, victoria. a couple _ possible. thank you very much, victoria. a couple more - possible. thank you very much, i victoria. a couple more messages from you, thanks for getting in touch. john says my combine fuelled costs in 2019 were £700, they increase to £1300 in 2020 because i was working from home. another energy company wanted £3000 for protection for the next two years. i am trying to find ways to cut back or get better deals. and this one says my energy bill has gone up from £1000 to £1440 with edf. let me know, particularly if you run your own business, what you are expecting your energy costs to be over the next few months, with this forecast and it is just a forecast, that bills are going to go up forecast, that bills are going to go up ljy forecast, that bills are going to go up by another £400. e—mail address, victoria@bbc.co.uk or on twitter and instagram. more countries are expected to be removed from the government's so—called red lace today. anyone coming to the uk has to stay in a government approved quarantine hotel when they arrive — so called redness. what does this mean for holiday—makers?

if you are fully vaccinated are under 18 and unvaccinated, you no longer have to do a predeparture test on holiday before you catch your flight your home — test on holiday before you catch yourflight your home — home test on holiday before you catch your flight your home — home to the uk. you no longer have to do a pcr test on day eight when you get back to the uk and nor do you have to isolate at home. what you still have to do is book, pay for and take a day two cobit test and that is on or before the second day that you get back to the uk — covid test. it is hoping to change it to a cheaper lateral flow test this month but hasn't given any specific date for when that will happen. you still have to fill in a passenger locator board before you board your flight to the uk. if you choose to go to a red list country, things get more expensive. you have to pay £2285 for an 11 night stay at a government approved quarantine hotel in the uk. at the moment, there are 50 countries also on the redness. we are expecting the government will take quite a lot of those off the red list this week and that could well open up many long haul destinations, including places like south africa, tunisia, many of whom are still on the red list. let's find out what this means for us, with me isjulia from advantage travel partnership. you represent and network of independent travel agents, what difference has this made in terms of bookings? a big difference, we are seeing a lot more confidence from consumers thinking about booking and looking to travel and the predeparture test has opened up and the predeparture test has opened up the opportunity of travel agents to really help consumers think about those bookings. i5 to really help consumers think about those bookings. is it to really help consumers think about those bookings.— those bookings. is it people making new bookings _ those bookings. is it people making new bookings and _ those bookings. is it people making new bookings and travel _ those bookings. is it people making new bookings and travel agents - new bookings and travel agents bringing more money in or people rebooking holidays that had to be postponed from last year?

it 3 —. good point, we have had 20 months of a really difficult trading environment. we have seen a lot of consumers, when they haven't been able to travel, have rebooked so a lot of the bookings are later this year and the next year but actually we are seeing a lot of new bookings coming through, so a lot more optimistic, the industry is more optimistic, the industry is more optimistic as we help consumers think about travel for half term and later this month. it is think about travel for half term and later this month.— later this month. it is one thing for the uk _ later this month. it is one thing for the uk to — later this month. it is one thing for the uk to relax _ later this month. it is one thing for the uk to relax the - later this month. it is one thing for the uk to relax the rules - later this month. it is one thing for the uk to relax the rules for people coming back from their holiday, but that doesn't necessarily mean the destination will have relaxed rules and that is something people need to check. absolutely, it is still very complex while the uk government has enabled us to travel back into the uk with less restrictions, we still absolutely have to check the destination we are looking to travel to. be really clear about those rules, and check the foreign office advice, which did change yesterday, but a lot of rules we need to check about whether we can travel to where we need to go to. about whether we can travel to where we need to go to— we need to go to. there are 50 or so countries still _ we need to go to. there are 50 or so countries still on _ we need to go to. there are 50 or so countries still on the _ we need to go to. there are 50 or so countries still on the red _ we need to go to. there are 50 or so countries still on the red list. - countries still on the red list. have we got any inkling, any hint of which ones may come of the redness today or this week?

the other hand says, we've stopped any terrorist atrocities on our streets. and, as claire said, another 9/11. so it's... it's very, very difficult. and when you balance that, do you think the sacrifice that you've made of your only son has been worth it? no. nothing is worth it. that's not worth anything. i am moving with a piece _ of equipment over a patch of ground that had been walked on by 30 or 40 people already and then, _ massive explosion. and i had stepped on a pressure plate ied, it functioned and, - thankfully, it was only me that got hurt but it was quite severe, - it took both legs above the knee. luke sinnott is one of more than 300 british troops who lost limbs in afghanistan. but he has battled through his severe injuries with the help of sport. he was due to take part in the tokyo paralympics this summer, but, because of an injury, he had to stay home and witness the collapse of the country in which he once fought. and the desperate scenes of those trying to leave. getting injured, not going to tokyo and the afghanistan withdrawal, i you know, it's been a mentally rough period for the summer. _ from my point of view, l we were on the ground, we were moving ieds and giving - people some safety, some remnants of safety in the country and kids the ability to go to school, - so i will never regret that, i can hold my head high i on what we did out there. if i could make a deal tomorrow and get my legs back, i would. i my view of afghanistan is a very clear one to me and that is the intent of what we were trying to do was always right. the concept was flawed. too little, too late and we quit way too soon. and that is the great tragedy of afghanistan. stuart tootal led the first british troops into helmand in 2006. he commanded the 3rd battalion, the parachute regiment, who suffered the first serious casualties of the war, with dozens injured and 15 killed. what was then supposed to have been a simple piece support operation turned into a bloody ——what was then supposed to have been a simple peace support operation turned into a bloody counterinsurgency conflict. if you wanted to pick the positives out, you can turn round and say, well, we gave the afghans 20 years of an opportunity of how life might be different. that's true. the trouble is, that opportunity never realised itself fully because the taliban are now back in control, but i don't think we can be very proud of the outcome. we can be proud of what we tried to do as soldiers, but in terms of those responsible for the strategic decisions, i don't think there's a great deal to crow about in terms of there being a particular... there is no victory here. you know, we did not win that conflict. there was little fanfare when the last british troops left afghanistan earlier this year. this, the low—key ceremony in kabul before the chaotic exit. wars without victory are often forgotten, but the hopes of all those who served there and who lost loved ones is that their sacrifice will never be forgotten. jonathan beale, bbc news. the biden administration has welcomed a judge's decision to block a near total ban on abortion in the us state of texas. the white house described it as an important step towards restoring constitutional rights for texan women. the court issued a temporary injunction to suspend the controversial law which prohibits abortions after the sixth week of pregnancy. the judge described it as "an offensive deprivation of an important right." the state authorities have lodged an appeal. in a landmark decision last month, the conservative majority on the us supreme court agreed to let the us supreme court agreed to let the restrictions stand, resulting in protests right around the united states. thank you for your messages about your energy bills. this from john wilson smith, she says i am 73, i have had to go back to work to afford by electricity, i am all electric and have no choice and currently with only two small storage heaters, my bill is £5 per day. god only knows what it will be like this winter. i will not afford to keep my family warm or we will have to go without food. it is 2021 and we shouldn't be living like this. veronica tweets, clearly we will be worse off, even if wages rise in line with or above inflation, they are unlikely to bridge the gap. we have a perfect storm approaching, energy, national insurance, council tax, the list goes on. andjp on insurance, council tax, the list goes on. and jp on twitter says it is notjust energy going up, it is also the quarterly charges. is anyone quizzing the regulator? we will put that to them should we get them on air. do get in touch with your views on the state of your energy bill, particularly if you run a business and how it will affect you in the next few months, you can e—mail me, victoria@bbc.co.uk or message me on instagram and twitter. time for the weather. they weather is turning warmer than it has been, notjust by day but by night as well. this morning, a lot of cloud around, some glimmers of sunshine today, across northern ireland and scotland, a weather front is producing some rain and brisk winds around it. temperatures ranging from 13 in the north to 21 towards hull. through this evening and overnight, we still have the weather front across scotland and northern ireland moving across northern england, north wales, clearer skies in northern scotland under southern england, but across the board it is a mild night. but with mist and fog in central and southern england, that were left into low cloud then break up, so more sunshine around tomorrow. we still have our weather front across northern ireland and moving back towards western scotland. if anything, a little bit warmer in the sunshine, 15—21 quite widely. hello, this is bbc news with me, victoria derbyshire. the headlines... energy bills could increase by hundreds of pounds next year because of another big rise in wholesale prices. more countries are to be moved from the government's red list later today, which requires travellers to stay in a quarantine hotel when they get back to the uk. prince andrew is given access to a sealed document which his lawyers believe could help in the sexual abuse case brought against him by virginia giuffre. a federaljudge in the united states has suspended a law in texas that bans almost all abortions. 20 years on from the start of the uk military operations in afghanistan, commemorations are held to remember the 457 british personnel who died in the conflict. a british woman who joined the islamic state group with her young children says politicians should open their minds to allowing them to return to the uk. she said to me, where is your wedding ring? iwas she said to me, where is your wedding ring? i was like, she said to me, where is your wedding ring? iwas like, oh, no... i was like, oh, no... and andy murray has lost his wedding ring, and he asks fans to help him find it. lots of speculation in the sport about what is happening to newcastle united. i will be explaining a little bit more what happened for andy murray at the end of our sports desk here. it would appear the controversial saudi arabian—backed takeover of newcastle united is close to being agreed. one of the hurdles, an alleged tv piracy dispute in the middle east, has been sorted. the other key point is there now a consortium which is seen as separate to the state of saudi arabia, and so more distant from the nation's human rights issues, is providing most of the money for the £300 million takeover deal. newcastle are hoping this removes the issues that had been at the heart of a disagreement with the premier league and whether the saudi owners would pass the league's, owners and directors test. the fans of newcastle have been through an awful lot, the club is unrecognisable from when i played there under bobby robson, when we had some amazing champions league nights at stjames' park. it is a special place for football, and it has been a long, tough road. we will see if they can get this takeover over the line, but if they can, there are some really exciting times to look forward to. there was a dramatic fightback by chelsea in their women's champions league opener. sam kerr opened the scoring for chelsea against wolfsber with that wonderful lob beating the onrushing keeper. but several defensive mistakes saw chelsea go 3—1 down early in the second half, as wolfsburg took control. beth england pulled one back for the blues, before pernille harder found the equaliser in the second minute of injury time to earn emma hayes�* side a point. the national women's soccer league resumed in the united states for the first time since _ resumed in the united states for the first time since allegations _ resumed in the united states for the first time since allegations of- first time since allegations of sexual misconduct, and players stopped on the field in the sixth minute of the game, linking arms in the circle to demonstrate solidarity with few former players who came forward with allegations of sexual harassment and misconduct against riley, who was fired last thursday. for the first time in 37 matches, italy have finally been beaten. they lost 2—1 to spain in the semifinals of the nations league. it was a rematch of their euro 2020 semifinal, with manchester city's ferran torres scoring twice. italy did have a man sent off. spain will play either france or belgium on sunday. england all—rounder ben stokes is unlikely to play in the ashes against australia this winter after a second operation on his injured finger. stokes took an indefinite break from cricket injuly to protect his mental health and rest his left index finger which he first injured in april. the ashes are due to begin in december, with the ecb expected to make an announcent confirming the tour will go ahead tomorrow. the build—up to the big fight in las vegas on saturday has got angry. the wbc heavyweight champion, tyson fury, against the american deontay wilder. the pairfaced off ahead of saturday's bout in what will be the third fight between the two, with the first a draw and fury winning the second. wilder has suggested that fury cheated his way to victory in that last fight, something that has angered the defending champion. i don't want to hurt deontay wilder, i don't want to hurt deontay wilder, ijust want to i don't want to hurt deontay wilder, i just want to beat him i don't want to hurt deontay wilder, ijust want to beat him in a fight, and he knows what he's saying is lies. deep in his soul, he knows that he is lost and he is going to lose again. he lost the first time, he lost the second time, he is going to lose the third time, and guess what, after this fight, he will be back working on that fast food chain. to tennis, where there's been disappointment for the british number two heather watson at indian wells in california. she's been knocked out in the opening round by american sloane stephens. watson did win the first set but lost the next two in a match that lasted nearly three hours. and so more on the andy murray story, he is in a bit of bother this morning in indian wells, where he is competing, a nightmare to lose your wedding ring. his was tied to his tennis shoes, he leaves them there when he is playing, and issues were left under his car to air out, because it had been rather hard. the shoes went missing, so he has taken to social media to explain the predicament and ask for help. my my physio said to me, where is your wedding ring? and i was like, oh, no. and i basically tie my wedding ring to my tennis shoes when i am playing, because i cannot play with it on my hand. so yeah, my wedding ring has been stolen as well, so needless to say, i am in the bad books at home. i want to try to find it, so, yeah, ifanyone books at home. i want to try to find it, so, yeah, if anyone could share this or may have any clue where it may be, it would be very helpful, so we can try and get it back and get to the bottom of it. it would be much appreciated.— much appreciated. let's hope somebody — much appreciated. let's hope somebody can _ much appreciated. let's hope somebody can help. - much appreciated. let's hope somebody can help. that - much appreciated. let's hope somebody can help. that is i much appreciated. let's hope| somebody can help. that is all much appreciated. let's hope - somebody can help. that is all the sport for now. it is going to be a happy ending, i can feel it! it is 9:40am. you are watching bbc news. women's charity refuge will hold an event outside new scotland yard today where they will campaign for changes to the police, crime, sentencing and courts bill that would make violence against women a priority for all police forces. they will place 16 silhouettes with the slogan "enough is enough." they say that since 2019 that number of women have been killed by serving or former police officers. our home affairs correspondent june kelly is there now. good morning, june. good morning, victoria, good morning, june. good morning, victoria. from _ good morning, june. good morning, victoria, from scotland _ good morning, june. good morning, victoria, from scotland yard, - good morning, june. good morning, victoria, from scotland yard, where| victoria, from scotland yard, where we have the 16 silhouettes of women who have died violently. i am joined now by the chief executive of refuge, ruth davidson, who will tell us more about the event. why did you organise this event today?

honestly, secondly, what may have happened, we have never been witness to it, my children and i, honestly. you know, i haven't seen a beheading in my life. but her children have suffered trauma and loss. their father was killed fighting for is. and their ten—year—old brother isaac died in an air strike in front of them. i really miss my family, i miss my granny, my aunties. i miss my grandmother and my other grandmother. i miss them so much. as with so many children in the camp, it's clear how they will get out. the uk is reluctant to allow the wives of islamic state group's foreign fighters to return to britain. they're viewed as a threat to national security. however, they are willing to repatriate british orphans and unaccompanied children. can you ever see an option where you would send your children to britain to safety on their own without you? for us as a family, we cope together. i know for sure if my kids were separated from me, they will not be in a stable situation, because we are a unit. and so her daughters remain prisoners here. a makeshift school offers a few hours of escape. i think it is really fun learning to make different things. i like learning, like different languages, and like when you learn more things, your brain feels better. i want to be smart when i grow up. but there's little hope of that as long as she's in this camp, separated from her family in the uk. she records this message for her grandmother. love you guys, hope you guys are fine. me and my sisters and brothers are fine. love you guys. hopefully come back soon to see you guys. i would love to spend time with you when we come back. it is difficult to watch for their grandmother, charlene jack henry, thousands of miles away in london. she wants her grandchildren back home with their mother, her daughter. let her come and face the consequences. but it is not fair and it is not right for these children to be languishing in this place. enough is enough. they have already served a six—year sentence, without even having the benefit of being taken to court and tried by your peers. the british government wouldn't comment on nicole jack's case. they say those remaining in syria include dangerous individuals and not to make securityjudgments based on gender and age. but charlene says while her daughter should face justice, her grandchildren are innocent. poonam taneja, bbc news. we are expecting to hear that more countries will be removed from the government's red list today. let's talk to julie croucher, government's red list today. let's talk tojulie croucher, the owner of an independent travel agency, who has been trying to keep a small business afloat by second guessing the government since the start of the government since the start of the pandemic. what do you want to hear from the the pandemic. what do you want to hearfrom the government the pandemic. what do you want to hear from the government today? well, what the travel sector has been absolutely decimated, as you know, over the last 18 months. what we are hoping will happen is to see a significant reduction in the current countries on the red list from 54 down to about nine, but we have already had an announcement from the foreign office yesterday, which is actually worse than the first department for transport announcement, hardly supporting the travel sector as it continues to recover, and we haven't even started to recover, yet alone continuing it. we need to focus more on the long haul. we are not seeing any countries in southern africa, asia, latin america being removed from that list. lots of small independent travel agents and tour operators are specialists in those destinations, many have already collapsed, many have had to refund all bookings and close. so we need those countries to be accessible, we need to support tourism in those destinations as well, in places like africa and latin america, where they rely heavily for support on the economy is to tourism. but heavily for support on the economy is to tourism-— is to tourism. but if they have high infection rates _ is to tourism. but if they have high infection rates per— is to tourism. but if they have high infection rates per head _ is to tourism. but if they have high infection rates per head of - infection rates per head of population than we have here, for example, do we need to support them? yes, we absolutely do. at the start of the pandemic 18 months ago, our country never closed our borders. you know, why are we in a situation now where we have imposed all these owners testing unvaccinated travellers when one year ago we didn't have the vaccination programme? all these countries, the long haul destinations, they also ramping their own vaccinations. many places in africa have fully vaccinated all the tourism staff, as in other destinations in the world. to be honest, you are going to be far safer from to be honest, you are going to be far saferfrom any virus to be honest, you are going to be far safer from any virus on somewhere like the plains of the serengeti or the atacama desert than here in a supermarket or a football match. i here in a supermarket or a football match. ., ., ., ,~' i., here in a supermarket or a football match. ., ., ., y., ., here in a supermarket or a football match. ., ., ., ., ., match. i want to ask you about a re ort in match. i want to ask you about a report in one _ match. i want to ask you about a report in one of _ match. i want to ask you about a report in one of the _ match. i want to ask you about a report in one of the papers - match. i want to ask you about a j report in one of the papers today that suggests, as we know, brits coming back from holiday won't have to take one of those pcr tests on day two on their return from october half term, but a report today that what people will have to do is film themselves taking a lateral flow test, because at the moment... it is unbelievable. _ test, because at the moment... it is unbelievable, isn't _ test, because at the moment... it 3 unbelievable, isn't it?

at the - moment, you can pretend to take a lateralflow moment, you can pretend to take a lateral flow test and just upload the negative results to the nhs website without having taken a test, or if you are positive, you can get someone negative to take the test, someone negative to take the test, so that is why, according to this report, we might have to film ourselves taking a lateral flow test, what do you think of that? i think yet again it is damaging consumer confidence. people want to be able to travel safely and easily without having to jump through hoops, filling in forms, doing owners testing. 0ther hoops, filling in forms, doing owners testing. other countries in the world do not impose this on their citizens, and let's remember this is to return to the uk, this is coming home, and chances are, if you are coming back from a red list country, you will have had to take a test before you are allowed on the plane at the destination. so why are we asking people to test again when they come back here? nothing correlates. we have seen over the last few months the traffic lights and the foreign office advice has never been aligned, there has been a confusion over testing, so there needs to be clarity and quickly. coming back to the original point, people are wanting to travel, and particularly over 0ctober half term, we mentioned that. we need clarification on when is the date that it clarification on when is the date thatitis clarification on when is the date that it is count to change to lateral flow tests. i think filming people doing it is just another distraction. we need to build consumer confidence, we need to give them their freedom back to travel again. the travel industry needs to be able to trade its way out of this crisis. . ~' , ., , be able to trade its way out of this crisis. . ,, , ., , . ., crisis. thank you very much, thanks for talkin: crisis. thank you very much, thanks for talking to _ crisis. thank you very much, thanks for talking to us, _ crisis. thank you very much, thanks for talking to us, thank _ crisis. thank you very much, thanks for talking to us, thank you. - the riba stirling prize, for britain's best new building, will be announced next week in a live programme here on the bbc news channel. cambridge central mosque is on the shortlist. when you enter the space, it feels very other, and hopefully uplifting. i don't think, as architects, we can hope for anything more than that, really. my name isjulia barfield, i'm one of the co—founders of marks barfield architects, and we are the architects of the cambridge central mosque. we hadn't designed a mosque before, so of course we did a lot of research to find out about mosque design throughout the world, and what we discovered was that, historically and globally, mosques generally took on the character of the place that they were in and the time they were in, so what should a british mosque of the 20th century be like? david, my partner, was the one who came up with this idea of the glade of trees, and the garden of paradise. trees in this glade of trees became the structural trees. this is an entirely timber—structured building. timber is beautiful, it's very sustainable. but also, its got that connection with nature, which is, in islam, very important. that's also one of the kind of features of this place is that you naturally somehow look up, which seems appropriate for a sacred space. it's a space that is used by the whole community, notjust the muslim community. the idea is that the mosque is notjust a place for worship, it's so lovely to see there's that sense of pride and ownership, notjust for muslims in cambridge but also the wider community too. you're sort of met with his immediate calm and sense of peace, and it's something that visitors get to experience when they visit, but something i get to experience every day, so it'sjust phenomenal. we've kept the energy usage down as much as possible, as well as trying to address embodied carbon in the choice of materials. all the rainwater is captured, it's used to flush the toilets and also to help water the garden. in a sense, we were trying to kind of combine the english sacred architecture with islamic traditions. we wanted to construct something that was a symbol of hope, that this difference is notjust about problems of integration but is about the inherent interests of bringing together different narratives, different civilisations, different ethnicities, languages, cultural communities. it is a kind of celebration of the very central contribution that islam brings to the rainbow diversity that makes modern britain so fascinating. muslim, islamic culture has been part of british culture for so long, and i hope this building reaffirms that, it brings the two together. the next few days and nights will be unseasonably warm for the time of year. we have a weather front draped across northern ireland and western scotland producing some rain. last night's rain pushed up into the northern isles, and a lot of cloud around with some brighter breaks and around with some brighter breaks and a little bit of sunshine. brisk winds around this band of rain. temperatures, 16—21 degrees. through this evening and overnight, a band of rain across northern ireland and scotland, at times clip in north—west scotland and wales. clearer skies developing in the north—east of scotland and parts of southern england and wales. it is going to be relatively mild night. fog to start the day across central southern england, lifting into low cloud then breaking up, so more of us will see sunshine tomorrow. we still have a weather front bringing rain across scotland also northern ireland. temperatures ranging from 13 in the north to highs of 21. this is bbc news. the headlines here and around the world. energy bills across the uk could increase by hundreds of pounds next year because of another big rise in wholesale prices. a federaljudge in the united states has suspended a law in texas that bans almost all abortions. prince andrew is granted access to a sealed document which his lawyers believe could help end the sexual abuse case brought against him by virginia giuffre. more countries are to be removed from the uk government's red list later today which requires travellers to stay in a quarantine hotel upon their return. 20 years on from the start of uk military operations in afghanistan, commemorations are held to remember the 457 british personnel
