at half past 6pm... and loses herfirst match since losing the us open, in straight sets. more coming up. good evening. there's growing pressure on the government to intervene to support heavy industry, struggling with soaring energy costs. some conservative mps have now joined labour in calling for ministers to provide financial help, with the british chambers of commerce describing the situation as "dire," for some small and medium sized firms. here's our business correspondent, katie prescott. our biggest customer is... bring broth committees _ our biggest customer is... bring

a question of an energy price cap. they tend to fix their bells a year or two in advance, so for those whose contracts are coming to an end at the moment, it's a really painful time, and it's even worse for companies like this one who don't have those contracts and pay their energy bills and a three monthly needed basis. steel, chemicals — the industries with the heaviest energy consumption in the uk see costs rocketing. 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. and they're backed by some conservative mps representing industrial areas. we 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.... for now, thorugh, businesses don't have the cushion of the energy price cap so they tend to buy their energy a year or so in advance. would like to see limits on how much they have to pay. i would like to see limits on how much they have to pay-— they have to pay. i am doing every thin i they have to pay. i am doing every thing i

business and consumers, seema malhotra. what is labour backed's take on this? i what is labour backed's take on this? ~ , , what is labour backed's take on this? ~' , , ., ., this? i think this is

example of where every day this? i think this is another - example of where every day seems this? i think this is another _ example of where every day seems to bring new chaos and concerns from a government who has failed utterly to plan ahead. the package was absolutely right. businesses are facing crippling rises and costs at a time that they are seeing other riel pressures continue weather that is with materials or shortage of staff or scales. we think it's absolutely vital that the government does listen to this call for a winter plan from their british chamber of commerce because what is clear is without proper support and forward planning, things are going to get harderfor forward planning, things are going to get harder for businesses, not easier. and we need our businesses to get through this difficult time of recovery from the pandemic because it businesses don't survive, then that is also going to mean that jobs are at risk and it is going to head family income is much harder. we have already seen this cast had family energy prices last week saying that £139 increase with the price cap going out. what we need to see is a proper plan that is going to make sure that we've got the long—term secure and affordable energy that families and businesses need. this energy that families and businesses need. a , ., ., energy that families and businesses need. ., ., m ,,

for is around transition. so, this is to make sure that businesses are robust and able to face the other challenges ahead and investment in business. you know this has got to be part of a wider plan. the story also talked about renewables as well, and when we look at what's happened with our energy in the uk, we have seen resilience, we actually have domestic gas dredging 2% rather than the 25— 30% that other countries have. we've seen offshore energy... i countries have. we've seen offshore ener: , ., ., countries have. we've seen offshore ener: ., ., countries have. we've seen offshore

spoken to him, what are those options? you've spoken to him, what are those 0 tions? ., you've spoken to him, what are those otions? ., ., ., , , options? you are absolutely right. and there does _

and you will note in the british chamber of commerce and their plan today that the cap was just one of many proposals that needs to be other options, whether that's a task force to look at this, to address the issue now, how that is done fairly, whether we can also look in more terms how we can support a foundation industry like steel. this has been an ongoing issue, it hasn'tjust come out of nowhere. this is where we went to see the government come forward with the proper plan. we are ready to work with the government on what needs to be done and we want to see the government working with industry. it is, i think me enough to marry at some after the meeting of the secretary of state had yesterday with energy intensive industries, they seem to be no outcome, butjust a call to say that they would listen more. and i think we need to see something that is going to change this and support businesses going forward. obviously if ou are businesses going forward. obviously if you are

chamber of commerce today, and it's got to look at some of the other pressures as well. it's got to look at where the challenge is going to go internationally, but also how they are going to increase our resilience domestically. so that has to be part of an integrated plan and if we don't have an integrated plan that's going to address the short—term needs including some of the other challenge is whether that is the supply chain issues affecting supply of goods, shortages of staff, which businesses have told me it's affecting them being able to run their businesses now. it isn't all about

be some discussion as well with the energy companies and with the government because the scale of the energy usage, particularly government because the scale of the energy “5399, particularly in government because the scale of the energy usage, particularly in energy intensive industries, does need a national plan. and i think it is vital that we see that discussion and happening. he said happening properly. the reason why the british chamber of commerce have met with a plan today is because they have had to react in the media because of the lack of progress made with ministers yesterday. it needs to be a proper of thought through plan that's addressing the issues now and also as we go into the winter. also for recovery, it's got to see us into the next year. it's got to be a proper plan, because if government has to do one thing, it is to make sure that there is a secure and affordable supply of energy per industry and for business, and steven is right for industry business and families. stephen is right to raise the issue of talbot and his constituency and many other steel industry businesses have raised the same as well. thank you ve much raised the same as

had on describing it as a key priority. in his speech, had teachers earlier this afternoon nadine said disadvantaged children lose out to my list from not being in school. ahead of the spending review later this month, he pledged to investor record sums and children'seducation. we to investor record sums and children'seducation. we must really close the gap- _ children'seducation. we must really

where it is needed. i want us to put while being at the centre of everything we do in school is, alongside a drive for rigorous standards and high performance. but of course, we can do this if children are not at school. so, another key priority for me will be getting to the root of what is causing children not to be at school and to be persistently absent and then tackling it head—on. because then tackling it head—on. because the children who lose out the most from not being at school are likely to him a very likely to be the ones who can cope least, the vulnerable, that's the band hedged, you cannot help them if they are not there. i will be tireless in pursuing all of theseissues will be tireless in pursuing all of these issues to deliver with you a world—class education

face—to—face for the first time, since the militants took control of afghanistan in august. the us however cautioned that the talks, in the qatari capital of doha, do not signal, official recognition, of taliban rule. in afghanistan the funerals have been taking place of some of the victims killed in yesterday's suicide bomb attack, in the northern city of kunduz.. around 50 people died, with the islamic state group saying it carried out the attack on a mosque. our correspondent in doha, yogita limaye gave us this update. we heard sometime ago from amir khan muttaqi. he is here leading the delegation in delhi. he said they want to improve relations at the international communities, so this really is part of a series of efforts from the tally band to try to gain international recognition. some days ago they met with the uk delegation in kabul and some time from now, they say they are also going to meet european officials. he said that the us has offered to help provide covid—19 vaccines and humanitarian aid, but also warned that no one should interfere with the internal affairs of any country. it has been three weeks now since the taliban banned girls from going to secondary schools in most parts of afghanistan, and that is the backdrop against which these talks are happening. the taliban and are hoping to get international recognition because it is a very key step to the unblocking of foreign funding which has been frozen since they seized control of the country on the 15th of august. as far as the us is concerned, the key thing on their agenda is safe evacuation of us nationals and other areas in afghanistan. they will be hoping to hold the tally and to its commitments of allowing anyone who wants to leave the country and who has the right documents to do so, that they will indeed give safe passage to those people. in the past three weeks and that there have been difficulties and delays in this process and the us will be hoping to iron out those issues. the government's latest coronavirus figures show there were 34,950 new infections recorded, in the latest 24—hour period. there were 133 deaths, that's of people who died within 28 days of a positive covid—19 test. 85.4% of the population, aged 12 or over, have now had their first dose of a covid vaccine and 78.5%, have had both doses. ata at a quarter past six, it's time for

the education secretary dial is to tackle persistent people absences head—on, describing it as a key priority. us officials have held their first face—to—face talks with their first face—to—face talks with the taliban and since they took power in afghanistan. plans for a phone service aimed at protecting lone women walking home have been announced by bt. the company's chief executive said the firm started to develop the system in the wake of the murders of sarah everard and sabina nessa. bt has set out its plans in a letter to the home secretary. some campaigners argue such a service does not tackle the real problem of male violence. earlier i spoke with dr charlotte proudman, human rights barrister specialising in violence against women and girls. he it's just he it'sjust nothing more than to he it's 'ust nothing more than to ave he it'sjust nothing more than to pave over _ he it'sjust nothing more than to pave over the — he it'sjust nothing more than to pave over the cracks _ he

it'sjust nothing more than to i pave over the cracks that of what is an enormous issue of violence against women and girls. millions of women experience domestic abuse a year. 85,000 women are raped every year. 85,000 women are raped every year. and the response it seems from governmental officials or other agencies that are supposed to be protecting women are to be home by eight p.m., so there is a curfew, carry a panic alarm and now you need a gps tracker and a special number to contact so that when — so women feel more safe in public spaces. while i support the feeling of being safe, we need to tackle the real harm here, violence against women and girls command that is the only way we're ever going to have real change. way we're ever going to have real chante. , ., , way we're ever

as though this is the first time that this has happened. there is an awful lot of trackers he can use, i myself these trackers such as uber and i don't think that's the way forward at all. it's not that they don't support it, it's that i don't think that that is going to help with ending male violence against young girls, such as for example making misogyny you hate crime. that something i would fully support or introducing resources for policing. that is the way we need to go, not actually putting the onus on winning. actually putting the onus on winnint. ,., .,, actually putting the onus on

the street, but it's very rare for men to be attacked by women, and often they are very few outliers command that's very fortunate that it is. of course we need to make sure violence ends, it all ends on a spectrum, and while i accept that we need to understand how they keep themselves safe and i don't think that's the kind of conversation we have to be having. the onus should be on men in ending violence. that should be to focus rather than always on women, how do you protect yourself? how do you keep yourself safe? it's nothing more than revictimisation.— more than revictimisation. doctor

remember very recently there was an outcry about rape culture within schools, showing that sexual harassment at such a young age is endemic, which is frankly astounding, isn't it, when you think that it's already happening in schools and girls are being groomed, and then this continues later on in life. so how do we do that? we have consent workshops, for example, and we teach girls and boys to interact together in a healthy way, and this becomes part of the curriculum, part of the culture, which at the moment, it is not. . �* , of the culture, which at the moment, it is not. . k, ,, of the

government that is actually committed to making sure that this happens. at the moment, it is not. a lot of what the government has proposed to roll out really, it's sound bites commit looks good in terms of the headlines, but what is the substance? and is it really going to tackle male violence against women and girls? in my view, it isjust not. against women and girls? in my view, it is just not. we are going to have a review now into policing which i think is important, so we can look at how it is that cousins ended up in a serious position and also deal with vetting, for example for police officers and making sure that when police officers are accused of domestic abuse or sexual assault thatis domestic abuse or sexual assault that is properly investigated. — couzens. i welcome all of that, but the government could do something quite simple such as making misogyny hate crime are criminalising sexual harassment, of which 97% of women have experienced public sexual harassment. of course we don't feel safe in public spaces. who would? and that was doctor charlotte speaking to me earlier. the ulster unionist party has been holding its annual conference in belfast. it's the party leader doug beattie's first conference speech since he took over in may. mr beattie criticised the northern ireland protocol, saying that it damages the peace process and needs to be replaced. i make no apologies for not supporting a protocol that damages the belfast agreement. as a senior eu official said to me recently, the protocol doesn't damage the belfast agreement as much as brexit but they accepted it does damage it. 0mits many issues, the protocol has a built—in instability that will raise tensions every time we have an election as articles five to ten are voted on. every four years. from the sectarian headcount we are about to begin a protocol headcount which will take precedence over all other issues. the protocol must be replaced with a treaty that works for all of the people on this island. this means no trading borders, north, south, east and west. there cannot be a border in the irish sea. applause. that was doug beattie there. investigative journalist dmitry muratov has told the bbc he is dedicating the nobel peace prize, which he was awarded jointly with fillipino journalist maria ressa, to russianjournalists who have been killed in the line of duty. mr muratov is a co—founder of russia's leading independent newspaper novaya gazeta. in the last few months, dozens of russian journalists and media outlets have been harrassed and put on government blacklists as "foreign agents" or "undesirable organisations". he's been speaking to our correspondent richard galpin. translation: this prize is definitely not for me. | i shouldn't be receiving this. it's a prize for all the journalists who have given their lives for their profession. will winning the nobel peace prize, do you think it will give protection to independent journalists in russia? translation: we have a very complicated situation - with the media now. a lot of media start—ups, especially the ones that do investigations, have been declared foreign agents or undesirable organisations. a lot ofjournalists have falling victim to censorship and repression, so i think we need to give part of this prize money prize money to independentjournalists. how concerned are you about increasing pressure on journalists in russia right now? many of my friends and colleagues have fallen victim to the laws that have been passed by the russian parliament. these laws aimed at restricting the freedom of the press. i see how difficult and complicated it is to work in the media now. i see how many professional journalists have left. they've been forced to leave their country. i think this is a professional tragedy. i am one of those people who look at the situation with independent media in russia very pessimistically. france has threatened to reduce electricity supplies to jersey amid fresh tensions over post— brexit fishing rights. its europe minister said france had applied for four—hundred and fifty licences for its fishermen to access british waters, but had only been granted half that number. lucy williamson reports from paris questioned about the row over british fishing licences on a morning news programme, clement beaune said reducing electricity to jersey was no idle threat. we are not talking about cutting power to eachjersey resident, he said, but reducing the delivery of electricity to the island is possible. resentment has been piling up on this side of the channel over covid vaccines, post—brexit border checks for northern ireland, and a secret british—american submarine deal in the pacific. fishing rights have been a source of tension for years, but brexit has sharpened divisions, with european fishermen asked to prove their connections to uk waters. some small french boats say they are not equipped to provide that proof. france has accused britain of not living up to its own post—brexit agreement. next week, eu ministers will meet in luxembourg to discuss their response as politicians on both sides of the channel point to the waters that separate britain and france. the wildlife campaginer chris packham and around one hundred children have delivered a petition to buckingham palace — calling on the royal family to �*rewild'

direct to buckingham palace. campaigners say the royals must re—wild. they are the biggest landowning family in the country, but it's claimed their estates an ecological disaster zone, with practices like deer stalking and grouse shooting. instead, there are calls for the land to be allowed to return to a more natural state. because of the global celebrity in the way that they lead and other people follow, if they were to do this it would be a fantastic gesture — and significant at a time when we are rather tiring of people talking the talk and we need them to be walking the walk. we need a meaningful positive action. a petition signed by 100,000 people is delivered to the palace by 14—year—old simeon, while his brother explains his concerns. we're still quite young, and so we have a lot of time ahead of us, and by the way, like, the world is going, that may not be very pleasant because there's going to be so much chaos in the future. planting trees at balmoral the queen's platinum jubilee. the royal estate say the royal family has a long—standing commitment to conservation and they�* re constantly looking for new ways to improve biodiversity. next month, senior members of the royal family are due to attend the glasgow climate conference. campaigners here say that would be the perfect opportunity for them to take a stand. they're calling it a polite protest, but one they hope will bring about change. simonjones, bbc news, buckingham palace. lava from a volcano on the spanish island of lipoma has destroyed more homes and buildings. the volcano has been erupting for almost three weeks now and has forced 6,000 people from their homes. the lava makes its way across 1,200 acres of land. the spanish national geological institute says there were a series of 37 seismic movements earlier today with the largest measuring 4.1 on the richter scale. 0ne local volcano expert said that newly opened events have partially collapsed causing the lava to flow in new directions and plastic bombs have also been fired. now it's time to take a look at the weather with helen willetts. hello. the weather is a tale of two halves today after the morning fog we've seen sunshine across southern and eastern areas. but the weather front further north and west was quite active to start with. the rain petering out as it eases its way southwards across northern england and wales, clearing to some late brightness in the north west, but wherever, still mild, 17—19, above where they should be, temperatures for the time of year. the weather front, although weakening as it slips south, will act like a blanket so not as cool in southern parts overnight. couldn't be as much fog but it's still a risk in southern and eastern areas. further north and west, clearer skies and a cooler night to come. which sets us up for more sunshine in the north foot sunday and it should be mainly dry across the uk. more cloud across southern and eastern areas. quite a grey start. perhaps some fog first thing. it will gradually clear but the cloud drags its heels in southern and eastern areas and it will be fresher. very few showers away from the north, where there is a brisk wind, but dry for many. hello, this is bbc news. the headlines. pressure grows on the government to help businesses facing soaring energy bills as some of its own mps join industry bosses in asking for support. the education secretary vows to tackle persistant pupil absences
