£2,000 for a slightly bigger than normal house? right now, the price cap is protecting customersl from the volatility| that we're seeing. at the beginning of the gas pipelines in russia, energy is being used as a form of diplomacy. loyal customers being reassured by its gas supply chief, others encouraged to do deals. translation: as far as prices are concerned, you can see i that those countries that have long—term contracts with russia have no problems. those countries that decided to reject long—term contracts and buy gas on the spot market, they have got problems. there are long—term solutions, more storage for gas and more insulation for homes. but that's not going to alter a record energy crunch over the coming months. faisal islam, bbc news. let us see what it's like this evening. here is the weather. hello. for many of us today has been a warmer day than it was yesterday. but for many of us it's been pretty cloudy. we have seen some breaks in the court — this insult burned by the court — this insult burned by the sea in cleveland and white — red car earlier in the day. you can see the breaks in the cloud but a few breaks coming to the southwest as well. rain has been with us for much of the day. and the weather front has been bringing the wet leather here will continue to be slow—moving. more pulses of rain here gradually pushing north. the wet weather for these areas into parts of thailand as well. temperatures are at the 11 to 15 degrees. there could be some dense mist and fog patches across england and wales. it could be extensive as we start the day on friday. some bright and sunny spells breaking through. the sunshine across my eastern areas and further outbreaks of rain at times for northern ireland and westin scotland. that's the weather. this is bbc news. the headlines: all but gone — the uk's covid travel red list has been slashed to cover just seven countries. the government's called it the "next step" towards re—opening travel. we're now both able to remove 47 countries from the red list, to take that down to just seven countries, and also accept vastly more double vaccinations, full vaccinations, from elsewhere as they've got their numbers right up as well. cheering celebrations in newcastle as a controversial takeover of the city's football club by a saudi—backed consortium is completed. like a kid on christmas morning! all my birthdays and all my christmases all come at the same time! i would be speaking to go -- chief executive of a group in the next few minutes. as gas prices continue to soar, warnings of a double whammy for consumers rising energy bills and higher prices in the shops. more now on that final approval of the takeover of the premier league site newcastle united. a consortium, including saudi arabian backers is to run the club, but serious questions have been asked about the change of ownership. sasha is the sheet for ticket of met —— chief executive for amnesty international uk. the record of saudi arabia has been questioned for many years as heavy record of other football club owners. is that not just business? realpolitik? ithink this deal, from _ just business? realpolitik? ithink this deal, from its _ just business? realpolitik? ithink this deal, from its conception i this deal, from its conception rights are now to today, has been a deal driven by sports washing from start to finish. i like everyone want sports fans to be proud of their team, want sports fans to be proud of theirteam, be want sports fans to be proud of their team, be excited about their teams, and i want football fans to be proud what happens in the pitch but i want them to be proud what stands behind the team as well and saudi arabia's record on human rights is terrible. this i believe is an example, a clear example, of an attempt to invest for the purposes of sports washing. but there are other clubs within the premier league with owners people would question, there are other sports — look at horse racing in the news in the last couple of days, with things right up to the royal family — isn't this just part of how we do business in this country, that we do business in this country, that we do business with countries right around the world, even those that are not much democratic? i around the world, even those that are not much democratic?- are not much democratic? i don't think it has _ are not much democratic? i don't think it has to — are not much democratic? i don't think it has to be _ are not much democratic?

i don't i think it has to be part of how we do business in this country. with sports in particular and given the prominence and prestige of permission football, there is a real concern, a particular impact, about the way in which football clubs can be used for this kind of covering of reputation and an attempt to create acceptability for governments of regimes who do such terrible human rights records. to accept this must be business as usual, but i do agree this is notjust about newcastle united, and that is why amnesty international has said to differ merely that there should be additions to the premier league's rules on ownership and directors. at the moment those all say absolutely nothing about human rights. simple additions to say directors could not have egregious human rights violations and their own responsible at you, could not have connexions to government so that sort of work, i would be struggling to think of football fans who would want managers of this team to have that kind of record. yet the per merely has not acted. irate kind of record. yet the per merely has not acted.— has not acted. we do business with saudi arabia. _ has not acted. we do business with saudi arabia, we _ has not acted. we do business with saudi arabia, we have _ has not acted. we do business with saudi arabia, we have billions i has not acted. we do business with saudi arabia, we have billions of i saudi arabia, we have billions of pounds of exports, we sell them arms —— premier league. they are seen as allies by governments of all complexions in this country, historically. and therefore does football matter if that's the relationship overall? clearly, the wider relationship _ relationship overall? clearly, the wider relationship absolutely i wider relationship absolutely matters. you are correct. but football does matter. football is ordinarily high—profile, and sport, and put both in sport, has been used by regimes around the world to create this veneer of acceptability, and i think what we are seeing here in this case is a government with an egregious, terrible human rights record who absolutely making this investment in murder to try and benefit from that, in order to distract —— investment in order to. football are extremely important even though you are right they are clearly other relationships between this country and businesses in saudi arabia, which are also of concern. sacha deshmukh, chief executive of amnesty international uk, thank you very much indeed. let's get more on the travel news that 47 countries will be removed from the covid read travel list next monday, leaving just seven countries remaining on the red list. let's speak to paul hunter, who's professor of medicine at the university of east anglia. he joins us live from cheshire. thanks forjoining us. are you happy about this opening up or concerned? i think this is the right thing to be doing at this stage. still have quite a bit of coronavirus circulating in this country, much more that many of the other countries that have just been released. i think the main issue about border restrictions is that they delay transmission. the concern is the new variants. what we have seen over recent months is the delta variant has become so overwhelming, thatis variant has become so overwhelming, that is the only country variant around for most countries —— for most countries that is the only variant around. the few countries that still are on the red list, predominantly, it is south america, where there is concerns about the new variant, another variant called the lambda variance, but i think over the coming weeks, it is becoming obvious that even that is probably not going to be able to compete with the delta variant. share compete with the delta variant. are ou compete with the delta variant. are you concerned that many parts of the world have lower vaccination rates and more variance could be important in winter? —— imported in winter? one of the important thing is when virusesjump host, they do one of the important thing is when viruses jump host, they do a one of the important thing is when virusesjump host, they do a rapid evolution to the best fit to their new host, and i think what we've seen with delta variant is it is probably one of the best fit, and so i do nothing we're gonna be seeing anymore new variance that are going to pose significant risks to the uk in coming months. there will be some evolution of the virus, maybe getting a bit more resistant to vaccines, but we are unlikely to be seeing anything we have seen initially with the alpha variant and the delta variant, so i think it is the delta variant, so i think it is the right decision to make at the moment.

there have been concerns about the i best way forward for that? ii77 have been concerns about the lateral flow tests not necessarily being as sensitive as the ordinary pcr tests, but again we are in a quite good position in the uk at the moment, and although we are actually seeing and although we are actually seeing a lot of infections still, hospitalisations are if anything slightly declining and deaths certainly is to declining, so we are in a reasonable position, and many of these other countries, the cases are actually even for many of these countries lower than they are in this country, so it is difficult to see that they are going to pose that much of an additional risk. hope see that they are going to pose that much of an additional risk. how does the uk compare _ much of an additional risk. how does the uk compare with _ much of an additional risk. how does the uk compare with other— much of an additional risk. how does the uk compare with other european| the uk compare with other european countries, for example, on the overall number of cases, which still seems pretty high and the number of deaths?

i had a tumour in my breast that was relatively large, metastases in my liver, spleen, spine, hips and sternum. alina is a young mother with a devastating diagnosis — secondary breast cancer. stage four is classed as terminal, and to hear that language at the age of 32, with a ten—month—old, is quite scary. for her, living with cancer means living with uncertainty. i have an appointment for some scan results today, still got a level of anxiety. while primary breast cancer has good survival rates, in around 30% of patients, it spreads to other parts of the body. it becomes secondary breast cancer, and it is incurable. a new bone lesion in part of the pelvis on the left. until now, there's been no record ofjust how many patients, mostly women, have secondary breast cancer. for a decade, campaigners have pushed for a national audit, and finally nhs england has agreed. i think it is a game changer. by knowing how many women are living with secondary breast cancer, we can design our services better. we know how to plan forward, how many specialist nurses we need. the treatment here is first class, but the breast cancer charity says many women feel overlooked and forgotten. i know for a fact that i take for granted my treatment, where other people are fighting for funding for it, and i know that is keeping my particular cancer at bay. i don't think any woman should be written off. alina's focus now is her daughter. she has another two years until she goes to school, but i'm looking forward to see her go into that and i'm hoping i can see her go to that. sorry, can ijust have a moment? it's one of the hardest things, is talking about... you might not be able to take her through all of her milestones as a young lady and my husband might have to do that. with professor palmieri and my team, i'm sure i'll see it. back in the clinic, carlo is worried. how are you? not too good around the stomach area. tenderness, pain and also bruises. i want to get you up into the hospital. within hours, ann is into the unit — it's an emergency. after first being diagnosed with breast cancer in 2008, it's been a long journey and she's poorly. this illness can be relentless. after all these years, ann knows the odds are against her. i personally am at peace. i have made plans regarding my funeral wishes. i always say i have two guardian angels, my mum on one side and my dad on another. for a decade, there have been repeated calls for more specialist nurses like phil. i get up and come to work to fight for people's mums, sisters, wives, daughters. i have a mum, wife, a sister, a daughter, and if they are not worth fighting for, then i don't know what is. maureen is exceptional. the latest, most sophisticated treatments mean five years after diagnosis, she is still going strong. brilliant, that's all i wanted to know. if i hadn't gone for my scan, my mammogram, i wouldn't be here. did you hear that? jo said you were the miracle. maureen is both nanny and effectively mother to her granddaughter poppy, whose own mother died tragically young. you have given her everything. and if there is no you, she's missing so much. that's it, so i've got to live another ten years or more, haven't i? what has it meant to you to be here for her formative years? so much, so much. this audit of secondary breast cancer could be a major step forward. the aim is to give more precious time to patients and to those who love them. that report byjeremy cooke. and since the filming took place, ann ball, who we heard talking about her experience, has sadly passed away. she was 57 years old. details of organisations offering information and support with cancer are available at bbc.co.uk/actionline, or you can call free at any time to hear recorded information on 08000 560190. 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. cambridges's central mosque is on the short list. it's a building with an emphasis on sustainability. we'll pick up on that theme more generally in a moment. but first, let's take a look. 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. the 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 is 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 not just a place for worship, it's so lovely to see there's that sense of pride and ownership from notjust for muslims in cambridge but also the wider community too. you're sort of met with this immediate calm and sense of peace, and it's something that visitors get to experience when they visit, but something i get to experience everyday, 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's 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. with me is dan thomas, project manager and one of the trustees at the cambridge central mosque. i'm also joined by liberal democrat councillor lucy nethsingha, leader of cambridgeshire county council. the council is part of the uk100 group of local councils which have pledged to cut greenhouse gas emissions. thanks so much to you both for joining us. dan, and i did start with you? you are a trustee of this mosque. when we say it is sustainable, what do we actually mean by that? i sustainable, what do we actually mean by that?— sustainable, what do we actually mean by that? i think it is the word sustainability. _ mean by that?

no comment. did you do that? no comment. why did you do that? no comment. in august, however, he pleaded guilty. today, in a victim impact segment read out on her behalf, dr alaoui said... he thought it through very carefully for many weeks, in terms of his route and how he would try and escape the justice that ultimately he has been given today. in my view, he hasn't been remorseful at all. today, milad rouf was jailed to 11 years and sentenced to an extra four years on licence. amanda akass, bbc south east today, lewes. the queen's baton relay for next year's commonwealth games in birmingham has started its journey today a journey in birmingham has started its journey today, a journey involving a distance of 90,000 miles through 72 countries. the games will be opened nextjuly, when the baton will arrive in birmingham — awarded the games just four years ago when durban was replaced as host city because of financial problems. laura scott reports. drumming up support for a commonwealth games on home soil, and who better to launch the queen's baton relay? having posted a special message inside, which she won't read until the games begin nextjuly, the queen passed it to paralympic champion kadeena cox, the first of around 7,500 baton bearers. i'm a disabled, female, black person. i think that represents what this games is about and what birmingham is about and that diversity, so to be able to start in this way i just thought was so special. from every corner of our city and every corner of the globe... big names like adam peaty and dina asher—smith will compete at the games, which will have more medals for women than men, the biggest—ever para—sport programme, and come at a cost of nearly £800 million. from a commonwealth, political and sporting perspective, a lot is riding on birmingham 2022. it's the biggest and most expensive sports event in the uk since london 2012, and today marks a significant moment in the countdown to the games. if we can deliver these games successfully and everybody has a really good time and we leave a really good legacy for birmingham, after what we've been through, i think that will be a massive legacy for everybody. amid pressure for the commonwealth games to remain relevant, the hope is the baton'sjourney around the world will help generate enthusiasm before the stars of 2022 aim to emulate england's golden netballers and create more memorable moments. laura scott, bbc news. 0k, ok, let's have a look at the weather now. here's chris fawkes. hello again. for many of us, today has been a much warmer day than it was yesterday. but for many, it's been pretty cloudy. we have seen some breaks in the cloud, though, the best of these being across parts of northeast england. this is saltburn—by—the—sea in cleveland and redcar earlier on in the day. you can see the breaks in the cloud just here, quite a few breaks coming towards the southwest as well, but rain has been with you for much of the day, northern ireland, parts of west scotland. and the weather front that's been bringing the wet weather here will continue to be slow—moving, so further pulses of rain here, gradually pushing northwards. the wettest weather, though, for argyll and bute and into parts of highland as well. temperatures overnight about 11—15 degrees. could have some pretty dense mist and fog patches across england and wales. could be quite extensive as we start the day on friday. slow to clear with some bright or sunny spells breaking through. the best of any sunshine, again, likely across more eastern areas, with further outbreaks of rain at times or both northern ireland with further outbreaks of rain at times for both northern ireland and western scotland. that's the weather. this is bbc news. as you join us, president biden is speaking in chicago. talking about the event — bennett — benefits of vaccination. he is looking, but i support for his vaccine mandate. texas appeals and a federaljudge's order temporarily blocking the ban on most abortions. speaking exclusively at the bbc, the us national security adviser urges russia not to exploit the growing global energy crisis. plus, i woman found herself on the receiving end of thousands of calls from fans of the hit series split game.
