government to provide urgent support to businesses struggling with soaring gas prices. the leaders of industries with heavy energy consumption say spiralling costs are threatening their future. ministers insist they're in regular contact with business groups to explore possible solutions. our business correspondent katie prescott reports. cement, glass, steel, chemicals. the industries with the heaviest energy consumption in the uk. to keep the furnaces burning, they're crying out for government support. absolutely right now. gas prices are at an unprecedented level. and the businesses that manufacture the goods that we need are trying to operate under these unprecedented conditions. they are backed by some conservative mps representing industrial areas. they need government support, either in direct support or a cap on their energy prices to allow them to continue in business, and it would be ludicrous that we would lose these high energy intensive businesses that we need for our economy. but so far that support isn't forthcoming. the government says.... businesses don't have the cushion of the energy price cap so they tend to buy their energy a year or so in advance. for those whose contracts are now up for renewal, it's a really painful time as they face skyrocketing costs. we've got kids in a nursery. i mean, we can't not turn the heating on for children in the nursery. looking at the prices now, you are looking, at the moment, energy is selling eight times higher than it was when that contract started. eight times higher. that is just crazy. i don't know how people and businesses are actually going to cope. while households might be directly protected by the price cap, rising costs for businesses eventually feed through to all of us. if energy prices won't come down, then this will happen to this nursery. katie prescott, bbc news. dave dalton, who's the ceo of british glass, the british glass manufacturers' confederation said that more government support would be needed to help many small and medium size firms survive the winter months. i think to be fair to the secretary of state that was acknowledged during the meeting. models had already been constructed to decide whether we could weather the, sort of, transient sea of issue. i think everyone has in mind that it is likely to be dealt with in terms of its ability before the winter is out an even sooner than that if contacts have already been seen being negotiated with russia and elsewhere. the is going to be incredibly difficult to make the impacts that that is manageable between the immediate term. it is impossible. yet. we're going to need intervention at a company level where those of us who are particularly exposed enable likely fine measures to deal

am really, really pleased because it means that the government are taking this issue really seriously. but on the other hand, i am a little bit disappointed because we have been trying to work with the government ministers for a very long time now with respect to our own act and it actually has the same functionality that the bt app proposes to have but has a lot more functionality so we are a bit perplexed as to why the government and speaking to us but as soon as a big giant comes in they start to speak to them so we would like to speak to them so we would like to speak to the government. 0ur app is tried, tested, working out for six years and we could put that out tomorrow so the whole country. i mean, realistically, you could be working with the government, with bt to really push this out there. absolutely and i'm quite prepared to do that. we have a problem already in the research and development has come in for a number of years because the issues have been lined out for a few years we have an app now that really does make a special fuses and helps to keep them safe and feel safe and that is the reaction we are getting from those people that use our app. priti patel did say that this is exactly the kind of innovative scheme that it would be good to get going as soon after hearing you speak she will be reminded that it is it is already going. now, you said that there

have been meeting face—to—face for the first time since the group took control of afghanistan in august. the united states said the talks in the qatari capital, doha did not signal a recognition of taliban rule. yesterday at least 50 people died and more than 100 were injured in a suicide bomb attack on a mosque in the afghan city of kunduz. the islamic state group said it was behind the attack. we have heard from the taliban delegation, the foreign minister they've appointed has said senior taliban leaders met us officials and both sides agreed to uphold what was negotiated in the february 2020 us—taliban deal. he said that the us has agreed to help the taliban out and humanitarian aid and delivery of covid—i9 vaccines and he also warned that no country should interfere in the internal policies. policies of another country. it has been three weeks now since the taliban banned girls from going to secondary schools in the country. women have not yet been allowed to go back to theirjobs so one imagines there when he was talking about internal policies but these meetings, really, i'm a part of taliban efforts to gain international recognition recently they also had a meeting with a uk delegation in kabul. he also says they will be meeting european officials soon, and international recognition is important because it is directly linked to funding going back to afghanistan. funding from foreign countries as well as international agencies has been frozen at the moment for fears that it will fall into taliban hands and could be misused, and the taliban very keen for a resumption of that funding. yogita, you said that there was this agreement on both sides coming from the taliban foreign minister and they would uphold what was negotiated in february 2020. what was that? what was agreed or negotiated? so, a key part of that was that afghanistan and its territory should not be used against the us or any of its allies, that the security of the us or its allies should not be threatened from afghan territory and that is one of the things we're expecting to be discussed, but the top of the us agenda right now is the evacuation of us nationals and others who are still stuck in afghanistan have permits to leave the country. in the past few weeks there have been delays and difficulties in the evacuation process, particularly by air and via doha, where i am, and the us will be hoping to smooth out that process and hold the taliban to its commitment to upholding people with the right documents to leave the country. they report also, a day after dozens of people were killed in a bombing in kunduz city in afghanistan which was claimed by islamic state khorasan province, and the growing state of islamic state militancy is also something that's expected to be discussed during this two—day meeting. yogita limaye with that update. german police say they're investigating several cases of so called "havana syndrome" at the american embassy in berlin. the illness first came to light in cuba in 2016. dozens of american officials have reported symptoms including nausea, memory lapses and dizziness. police in berlin said they were looking into an "alleged sonic weapon attack". an appeals court in the united states has temporarily reinstated a near—total ban on abortions in texas. the ruling overturns the decision of a lower court earlier this week, which had blocked the bill. under the law, abortion in texas is prohibited after about six weeks of pregnancy and makes no exceptions in cases of rape or incest. the dispute could ultimately end up before the us supreme court. the headlines on bbc news... pressure is growing on the government to help businesses who were facing soaring energy bills and some of its own mps were facing soaring

out of bed. but when i do, i still feel that pain. it doesn't really go, and then i go to school tired, and ifeel like my hands are, like, going to collapse and not work, and the same with my legs. my back can hurt a few times, but it's not the same as my arms and legs. but my head can hurt a lot, and i'll always feel tired, and that goes on for the whole day. and it's notjust the physical pain — her mum also worries about her daughter's mental health. she used to do things like cheerleading and horse riding and enjoy those things, but she wouldn't be able to do it now, and obviously while she's not been at school even with the lockdowns and then not going back last year because of the pain, she's become quite isolated and then that's obviously affected her as well. well, the world's first study into children with long covid suggests that one in seven still suffer symptoms 15 weeks after contracting coronavirus. and so, now, 16 hubs are opening across the country, looking at long covid in children, and one of the pilot's is here in bristol. long covid is essentially a new condition, and there are symptom clusters or groups of symptoms that we don't understand completely and we need to develop treatments for. the outcome for children in general is much, much better than the outcome for adults. so what the hub is going to do is to bring the top specialists at bristol children's hospital together and discuss cases. i feel really strongly that what we need to do is to offer treatment quickly, because the kids are sick and they're missing school right now. how does it feel to know you're going to have access to a specialist team of doctors that are hopefully going to get you better? i feel better because they can properly help and not... well, other doctors can help, but these ones are made for long covid. taylor's being seen on monday. after months of pain, she and herfamily hope she can get the help she finally needs to get better. fiona lamdin, bbc news.

the royals must re—wild. they are the biggest landowning family in the country, with practices like deer stalking and grouse shooting.
