morning. it's sunday october 1. our main story: the prime minister will begin the conservative conference in manchester today, looking to unite his party amid pressure over taxes, the environment and the hs2 rail link. rishi sunak will set out his long—term vision for the country in what could be his last party conference before the next general election. our political correspondent ione wells has the latest. is it time to cut taxes, prime minister? questions fired at the prime minister from all different directions. one of the loudest is a call for tax cuts. last yea r�*s conference was dominated by fallout over liz truss�*s tax cuts, which spooked the markets. she will be back this year and using a speech to call for a corporation tax cut. some tory mps have signed a pledge that they will not back any more tax rises. when tax is at a 75—year high, they should not go any higher. and what is really required is for the government to create growth in the economy. you do not do that by increasing taxes. looming over this conference in manchester too, the question of whether the new rail line, hs2, will ever make it here. ministers will not commit either way. former prime ministers theresa may and boris johnson are among those warning cancelling the leg would betray the north of england. from the right of the party, another challenge. cabinet ministers including suella braverman have called for tougher measures to tackle immigration. both have made no secret about wanting a debate on leaving the european convention of human rights. rishi sunak has inherited a very divided party. the time has seen a huge number of changes in direction in leadership, on big policy issues and everything from that zero to exit through taxation and so going into a general election where he is well behind in the polls in the party falling behind in the polls, those divisions are going to be front and centre. all of these different camps rishi sunak is striving to keep happy. he will be hoping to do just that here. starting with an announcement today that 55 towns will be given £20 million over ten years to invest in things like spruicing up the high streets and tackling antisocial behaviour. the question is — will it be enough? in what could be his first and last conference as prime minister before the next election. ione wells, bbc news. we're joined now by our chief political correspondent henry zeffman. is a-z, is a—z, could be the last one before the next general election. presumably he still thinks he can win this general election whenever it will be. he has to persuade his party as well. i it will be. he has to persuade his party as well-— party as well. i think rishi sunak is really in _ party as well. i think rishi sunak is really in the _ party as

sunak is really in the do or die rise - party as well. i think rishi sunak is really in the do or die rise of. is really in the do or die rise of his leadership will stop he became leaderjust under a year ago and the economy was in a real mess, but also the politics of the conservative party was in a real mess. they got rid of two leaders injust party was in a real mess. they got rid of two leaders in just a few short months and here suddenly was rishi sunak and everyone was asking how long he would last. he has made it so far and the economy has stabilised a bit, a lot of people are still feeling the squeeze but it is ticking in the right direction, and politically, he stabilised the situation. people are not talking about getting rid of him as conservative leader and that counts as a success, but he is still a long way behind the labour party in the opinion polls, and that does of course make conservative mps anxious, conservative activists who are coming to manchester this week anxious. we have seen in recent days anxious. we have seen in recent days a bit of a sense of what rishi sunak wants to do to narrow that gap. we have seen clear dividing lines with the labour party, his shift on green policy, his words on motorists, talking about protecting motorists in recent days, a bit of a sense with various cabinet ministers, talking about shifting their position on european convention on human rights. it could be very controversial and i think we will see more on that this week across the conservative party conference, clearwater with the labour party. but the risk for rishi sunak is that people who might want to succeed him out of that general election saturating the conference is a bit of a beauty parade. i think of rishi sunak get to the end of the week and we are talking about what he has done rather than people who might want to succeed and have done we will be very pleased. but want to succeed and have done we will be very pleased.— will be very

that. —— deluged. recently on breakfast, we've looked at how retailers are trying to deal with a surge in shoplifting, abuse and antisocial behaviour. today, more than 80 firms are calling for action. they want the government to make attacking a shop worker a specific offence, which is already the case in scotland, and for police to attend every retail crime. lucy manning reports. on the front line against shoplifters, a constant, dangerous and expensive problem. the shop in nottingham targeted every few days. this is one of the regular shoplifters, taking a couple of shampoo gift boxes, worth about £10 each. she spent some time choosing what to steal. she sneaks them into her bag and my assistant has only spotted her on cctv and she alerted me and allows me to confront her and then she runs off. it is exhausting because you feel under siege when it's a regular shoplifter and you're on edge all the time when a customer comes in you don't know if they will spend £10 £100 of stolen stuff and it becomes so overwhelming, and these businesses cannot function or make money. they will disappear. it needs to be tackled. aha, make money. they will disappear. it needs to be tackled.—

headlines at seven o'clock. it's time now for the travel show and this week, the team are in southern italy. could this be italy's hidden gem? i'm going off the beaten track, deep into the south. i can feel the music. it's such a good vibe. for generations, it's where italians have been holidaying, but is the secret out? this is in a place that's steeped in tradition and at the same time, it's rapidly modernising. known as the land of two seas, you are never far from the coast. oh, it's so refreshing! for the longest time, many of its ancient stone towns have been rapidly declining but now, the call�*s going out around the world for people to live, buy and invest here. this is unbelievable. look at these views. this is totally unique — and a rooftop pool, forfree, from the government. come on. but how will it keep that balance between staying authentic and affordable... buongiorno. buongiorno, buongiorno! ..whilst opening up to the world? this week, i'm in puglia. now, i've travelled a lot through italy. i love this place. there's great food, there's great wine. but this is my first trip into the heel of the country. in recent years, the area has become more popular with tourists, but also with the government that's been trying to entice people back to live in the south. so, i'm in a town called presicce—acquarica and here, they're offering people 30,000 euros to buy a home. sounds like a total bargain. so far, 20 people have applied for the grant but there may be one more. hi, you must bejesse. buongiorno! i brought you an espresso. oh, my gosh. i'm not sure how long our day will be today. thank you. you're a life—saver. so, are you looking to move here, jesse? so, my parents have roots from bari, and they are looking for a lovely summer home. so, i'm here on behalf of them, to kind of virtually give them an idea of some properties that might interest them. well, i've got a surprise for you. gasps. come on, let's go. ok, great! so, i've arranged a tourfor us. how exciting! so, we have got a local tour guide, so you can get to know the area — and me, too. hi, francesco. we're ready for our tour. perfect! the town spreads out from the baroque church, interspersed with lovely piazzas, historic homes and, importantly, gelaterias. though its population is rapidly declining, last year, the town saw only 60 births compared to 150 deaths. francesco, what do you think about all these incentives? living in our small town probably could be an opportunity for the youngest people that generally, they don't have a lot of money, so it could be important for this kind of person to live. and you need young people here, right? yeah. well, my parents are young at heart. would they be welcome? absolutely! now, we arrive to the surprise i had for you — the underground oil mills. door groans. 0h! gosh, it's so much cooler down here. natural air con. in this place was made lamp oil. in all the salento region, we can find a lot of these structures. they are in small numbers in every single town. for exception in presicce, we have these 23 underground mills, because... 23? 23, yes. the olive oil is probably the main product we have here in puglia. now let's see what the homes on sale have to offer. ciao, fabrizio! ciao, ciao. this is my friend, carmen. yes, so nice to meet you. ciao, ciao. so, i'm going to get my parents on the phone real quick so i can call them, so they can be a part of this. prego. this is my friend, carmen. hi, mom! hi, dad! she's showing us round. i'll tell you more about it later. this is fabrizio. ciao, ciao. it's a bit of a fixer—upper. the church! there's a church?! and this is the toilet. we're modern now! do we have to live in presicce, or — as a permanent resident? or can a foreigner purchase this? i the town hall has already launched other funds, including tax benefits for new businesses and baby bonuses for young families. that's the view, too. that's what we want to see. this is lovely. so, jessi, what a surprise. what are you thinking now? i've got to be honest — i cannot believe this property and i really can't wait to talk to my parents and see what they think. this is unbelievable. look at these views. this is totally unique. everything that we're going for — going for culture and tradition and beautiful architecture that you wouldn't find in america, this is it. and a rooftop pool, forfree, from the government. come on. i'm so pleasantly surprised! who needs plumbing? we can get there. well, i've left the rosati family to continue with their house—hunting in presicce—acquarica. before i head to the next town further north, i want to take a little diversion. i can understand why people would want to move here because you're never that far from the sea. think swimming holes, caves, grottoes and places like this. i've lived in asia for the last 11 years and i'm used to wide, sandy beaches. there is nothing like this. check it out. look at the rock formations. it's so dramatic! stunning. ooh! oh, it's so refreshing. it's such a lovely respite from the heat of the car. bell tolls. here in the rural south, foreign pensioners and retirees are eligible for a 7% flat tax rate. it may not help with its ageing population but it seems to be bringing in much—needed money back into these communities — like here in carovigno, where i'm catching up with another couple. hi, brandie. hi, greg. i'm in your hood. welcome! well, we're sorry we can't be there with you in person! it would be amazing for you to show me around. what made you want to buy here in the first place? you know, wejust started looking about ten years ago and we started just looking at the country as a whole. puglia's the least — has the least seismic activity of the regions in italy and so, we started looking there. virtual tours. we did everything virtually, their zoom tours, and all of that. and how much work have you had to do to it so far? when we first got there, you're flushing the toilet with a bucket of waterand you're... oh, my gosh! ..cooking on a camp stove with a head lamp at the bottom of the stairs because there's no real workable kitchen. yeah, there's still plenty to be done. we hope you get to go see the house yourself. yeah, that would be fantastic. please do. i would love to see the house! well, after a little help from the locals, i think i finally found their place. is that the bell? oh, hello. ah! hi, samantha. hi, carmen! nice to meet you! nice to meet you. welcome! come on in! thank you. samantha helped the stuckys find, buy and renovate their puglian home. oh, it's beautiful and light and airy. i like the blue and white scheme. we help people find and restore old ancient homes anywhere in italy, and puglia, it's a really popular place because you can get a lot for not a lot of money. yeah. so, there's lots of room for improvement. you got to be careful — watch your head there. that's ok, because look what you get. how good a deal did they get, and how much do you think greg and brandie have had to spend so far? they got a steal. you know, i think this property was something like just over 30,000 euros to buy and then, just maybe 20,000 euros to take it to this point. i can't imagine the bureaucracy. no, i can't even — and i do it every day! italy is a forced inheritance country, which means that if you're italian and when you die, you have to pass your assets onto your family down to six generations removed. so, the older the house, the more hand—me—downs this house has become and therefore, there could be many, many owners on the property, back taxes that haven't been paid. sometimes, these sixth—removed cousins might not realise that they own it. yes, so this is another thing, another piece you have to be very careful of — that somebody doesn't knock on your door ten years down the road and say, you know, "i am an heir "of the old owner. "i get my house back," and it's possible. so, you have to be very careful and do your due diligence. and the best advice i can give people is that don't fear for losing a property. you have to be patient and do your due diligence in order for it to be safe. incentivising people from abroad to invest may seem confusing but the money being brought in is allowing younger italians to move back with their families as opportunities open up. like marco. he started his business here two years ago. salute. salute, cheers. cheers. what are we drinking? we are drinking rose wine... it's lovely. ..because puglia is a land of rose. so, marco, how has it changed — how has carovigno changed? when i was child, a lot of houses in the historical centre were abandoned. some of them were burned. right now, it's a really nice historical centre, is clean... it's beautiful. it's beautiful, yeah. because a lot of people invest in rebuild, restyling. so, you also wanted to invest. you saw this and...? yeah, absolutely. i invest in this place even to collaborate with my community, to bring up the name of carovigno. before i open the bar, there was just the one shop. now, there are three different business and probably, they're going to open some new business up in a few months. what do other locals feel about more foreigners coming in? how do they feel about it? they are a little, little scared but basically, i know that this movement is appreciated by the local people because, of course, tourist people bring more finance and everything is better for every single business. to me, it feels like the key here is attracting enough overseas investment to help rejuvenate without pricing younger italians out. let's hope they can get the mix right. for many, bari is the gateway to puglia with an international airport and a major seaport on the adriatic. it's usually the first stop. and whilst you might be tempted to whiz straight through, it's worth checking out the old town. not far from the harbour, through some narrow lanes, you'll find the famous pasta—making street. buongiorno. buongiorno, buongiorno! so, on my travels here in puglia, i've been hearing all about this contagious dance fever that dates back centuries, here in the south. it's called "pizzica" or "taranta", or "dance of the tarantula". and legend has it that it was a type of music and movement that was meant to be some sort of emergency cure for spider bite victims. now, i grew up in australia and i know all about these creepy crawlies but i've never heard about a dance about them. i'm starting in the town of manduria. it's within the salento peninsula, basically, the southern end of puglia, where it's still practised, taught and performed. so we're here at the dance studio. i'm going to learn some steps, but we're a bit late, it's already started. bit nervous. i'm going tojump in. euphoric music plays i'm going to die if she chooses me. chuckles oh, my goodness. she's chosen me! i've no idea what i'm doing! the kids are just choosing their outfits for the performance. so, everyone's got a different coloured, brightly coloured skirt. this archive footage shows a woman experiencing tarantism. it was especially prevalent from the 15th to the 17th century but as we can see here, it continued well into the 20th century. she looks like she's in a lot of pain. in a way, she is. it's pretty clear, though, this has nothing to do with the spider bite. what was the real cause, do you think, of tarantism, and why did it only affect women? the whole peasant society was oppressed and the women were the oppressed part of an oppressed class. but nevertheless, in the salento tradition, the women also had a sort of matriarchal power, that they could express in particular situations. like the dance — including the dance. uh-huh. so it was like a release, like a cathartic release for them — like a form of therapy, maybe? the literal part of tarantism was absolutely a form of therapy. the spider bite wasjust a symbol? yes, just a symbol, because it comes from inside. right. from the inner realm of desire and of frustration. well, in stark contrast, every august, for the past 25 years, thousands of people gather in the small town of melpignano, to celebrate la notte della taranta — night of the tarantula. cheering it's heavily modernised, and special guest performers also take part on a stage built on the grounds of an old convent. and i've managed to catch the cast offstage at their headquarters. now, this is such a big event, that these guys are practising and touring globally all—year—round. it's so impressive. i'm amazed at the range of instruments here. there's even a didgeridoo, can you believe? and the dancers... just beautiful. i can feel the music. it's such a good vibe and it's so lively. bravo! well, back in manduria, the sun has started to set, which means it's time. and that's my pizzica teacherfrom earlier on. rhythmic music so, there's been a slight change of plan. we're now doing a flash mob in the middle of the piazza... ..and i'm taking part! oh, my goodness. slightly nervous. 0k. rhythmic music i'm out of breath. what a rush! i think for me, this is certainly a once—in—a—lifetime experience, and i love how the whole community has turned out, and this has become something of a party. and you know what? i really think this tarantula dance, it's a bit like puglia itself, you know, it's a place that steeped in tradition, yet at the same time, rapidly modernising. and they're trying to find that balance between keeping authentic, and also conveying their charm to the people who are now coming to visit, and also people who are coming to live here. and from what i've experienced so far, i really think they're doing a greatjob. good morning. welcome to breakfast with rogerjohnson and rachel burden. our headlines today: rishi sunak arrived in manchester for his first party conference as prime minister. he is facing pressure from across his party over tax cuts and hs2. a new energy price cap comes into force, lowering gas and electricity bills but charities warn of a tough winter ahead for many households. kenny logan willjoin us, he is preparing to set off on his 700 mile walk and cycle challenge. he is going from a refill to the stud difference in memory of teammate doddie weir. the final day of the ryder cup is under way later in rome, quite a heated moment involving rory mcilroy and his opponents involving rory mcilroy and his opponent's caddy, europe are in control four points from history from the usa. and whilst it may be wet for a time, for at least of you through today, when the sun is out, it is going to feel particularly warm and humid for the first day of october. i'll have your full forecast here on breakfast. it's sunday, october 1. good morning. the conservative party conference gets under way in manchester later as the prime minister is under pressure about taxes, hs2 and environmental policies. he has vowed to set out his long—term vision for the country in what could be his last party conference before the next general election. our political correspondent ione wells has the latest. is it time to cut taxes, prime minister? questions being fired at the prime minister... will hs2 ever reach manchester, prime minister? ..from all different directions. one of the loudest is a call for tax cuts. last year's conference was dominated by fallout over liz truss's tax cuts, which spooked the markets. this year, she'll be back and using a speech to call for a corporation tax cut. and some tory mp5 have signed a pledge that they won't back any more tax rises. where tax is a 75—year high, that they shouldn't go any higher. and what is really required is for the government to create growth in the economy. you don't do that by increasing taxes. you can't tax yourself rich. you can't even spend yourself rich. looming over this conference in manchester, too, the question of whether the new rail line, hs2, will ever make it here. ministers won't commit either way. former prime ministers borisjohnson and theresa may are among those warning cancelling the leg here would betray the north of england. from the right of the party, another challenge — cabinet ministers kemi badenoch and suella braverman have called for tougher measures to tackle immigration. both have made no secret about wanting a debate on whether to leave the european convention on human rights. rishi sunak has inherited a very divided party. the conservatives have been in office for 13 years. that time has seen a huge number of changes in direction in leadership, on big policy issues — everything from net zero to brexit through taxation — and so, going into a general election where he is well behind in the polls and, indeed, the party is well behind in the polls, those divisions are going to be front and centre. all of these different camps rishi sunak is striving to keep happy. he'll be hoping to do just that here... hi, i'm rishi. nice to meet you. ..starting with an announcement today that 55 towns will be given £20 million over ten years to invest in things like sprucing up high streets and tackling antisocial behaviour. the question is will it be enough in what could be his first and last conference as prime minister before the next election. ione wells, bbc news, manchester. we're joined now by our chief political correspondent henry zeffman. could be the prime minister's last party conference before the next general election is what kind of reception do you think you will get from members? it’s reception do you think you will get from members?— from members? it's interesting because if— from members? it's interesting because if you _ from members? it's interesting because if you cast _ from members? it's interesting because if you cast your - from members? it's interesting because if you cast your mind i from members? it's interesting i because if you cast your mind back to one year ago and somehow, it only was one year ago, liz truss was the conservative party leader at their conference. it was one week in her six weeks in downing street. so, there is the slight tension when he is addressing conservative party members that they chose liz truss over him because of course when he replaced liz truss, the vote did not go to conservative party members so i think rishi sunak will be eager, especially in the early days of the conference, just a sort of reassure conservative party members that he does want to eventually cut taxes, for example, which is one of the things they are very eager to see and one of the reasons they chose liz truss over him. actually, what rishi sunak really wants to do and needs to do this week is speak from the party conference to the country because while rishi sunak has significantly stabilised the political situation of the conservative party since he took over from conservative party since he took overfrom liz conservative party since he took over from liz truss, conservative party since he took overfrom liz truss, since conservative party since he took over from liz truss, since the epic period of chaos, he is still quite far behind the labour party in the opinion polls and this could be his last party conference because we all know that general election is coming next year, could be the spring all the autumn but probably it will take place next year and he needs to find a way with some new policies and some new long—term direction— that's the phrase he keeps using— to persuade members of the public who may be selling on the conservative party to vote for him. he may be selling on the conservative party to vote for him.— party to vote for him. he

he will be speaking to the nation, but i speaking to the nation, but nonetheless party has to coalesce behind him and there are divisions it will have to paper over on things like taxes and hs2, the

before a general election, means there are people in his cabinet who are absolutely loyal to him but also, we know may want to run in the leadership election which would follow if rishi sunak was the general election and so, you have what is called the fringe, there is nothing in the main hall which is cabinet ministers and speeches but these unofficial events happen around the side and cabinet ministers will address those events and perhaps deviating a little bit here or there from government policy and telling conservative party members subtly this is what you will get if i am the leader.

thank you, henry. it's six minutes past seven so let's bring you up to date on the rest of the main stories. a new energy price cap has come in today which lowers the bill for the average household. charities are warning of a tough winter ahead. the cost of gas and electric that he has fallen since summer, but extra support given by the government last winter is no longer in place. our cost—of—living correspondent kevin peachey explains. it might not feel like it right now but the colder winter weather is on the way. and if it comes hard, it will be tough for people like andrewjones from kidderminster, even though prices have fallen. quality of life is gonna go down. subscriptions are going to have to go — like netflix, stuff like that. and ultimately, if it gets really bad, it's gonna be a case ofjust moving into one room. just putting the heating on just when you really need it and just heating that one room and just leaving the others on — maybe just keeping it above zero so the pipes don't freeze. we really don't want to do that. last winter, andrew and many others did everything they could to cut their energy use but there was government help, too — nearly everyone's bill was reduced by £400 over the course of six months. even before the discount, a government guarantee meant the typical bill was kept to £2500 a year over last winter and spring. that annual bill dropped to just over £2000 injuly and government help was scaled back. today, that's fallen today again to just over £1900 — a price that will last for the rest of the year. but the latest prediction — which is just a forecast at this stage — suggests that could edge up again to almost exactly £2000 a year injanuary, according to analysts at cornwall insight. standing charges — the fixed daily payments covering the cost of having a supply — are a rising element of that bill. but for the rest, experts say there are things we can all do. uswitch are telling people to check, track and change. so, that's check your submitted meter readings recently to your supplier to get accurate bills, track your usage, keep an eye on how your home is consuming gas and electricity, and then, change is look at ways of changing your behaviour to see if you can reduce your usage and make a saving on your bill. charities urge anyone struggling to seek advice early — after all, higher bills are likely to be with us for some time yet. kevin peachey, bbc news. prayers will be set in merseyside this morning for a teenage girl and coach driver who died on a motorway crush on friday. 40—year—old stephen shrimpton and one of his passengers 15—year—old jessica baker died when a school bus overturned. helena wilkinson has this report. "kind and caring" is how friends have described jessica baker in tributes left to the 15—year—old. jessica died when the coach taking more than 50 children to school crashed on the m53 on friday. the coach driver, stephen shrimpton, was also killed. a fundraising page set up by his family for his funeral says the 40—year—old suffered a medical issue while driving. in a tribute, mr shrimpton's family said: he was a volunteer at a food bank in ellesmere port. i only spoke to him just recently, so it was a massive shock — and even now, i'm thinking... gasps. ..when i think about him, cos he was — he got on with everybody. he was just a lovely character. the children on the coach were going to two schools — the boys to calday grange grammar school, and the girls to west kirby grammar school. atjessica's school, pupils have been leaving messages ahead of their return to lessons tomorrow. one says, "you were the kindest, sweetest, most lovely person". specialist trauma support is now being offered to the children as investigators continue to try to piece together what led to this tragic incident. helena wilkinson, bbc news. two men have been arrested after reports that sheffield wednesday fans used an image of a young cancer patient bradley lowry to taunt opposition supporters in their match against sunderland. it was a sunderland fanned and died of cancer at the age of six in 2017. south yorkshire police said two men, 31 and 27, are being held on suspicion of outraging public decency. a ban on some single—use plastics comes into force today in england with restaurants and takeaways risking heavy fines if they do not comply. retailers, takeaway and hospitality firms can no longer supply certain plastic items, including cutlery, polystyrene cups and food containers. single—use plastic plates, trays and bowls will also be restricted. the us government has avoided a federal shutdown after both the house and senate agreed on a short—term funding deal. the bill means that tens of thousands of federal employees will not be furloughed and new aid for ukraine was scrapped in order for the deal to go through. how is the weather looking where you are waking up? visible where i was! how is it looking everywhere else, matt? it looks bright somewhere. ii matt? it looks bright somewhere. if you have the rain with you it is not the same for others but this is the scene a short while ago in the channel islands and beautiful start of the day with an especially warm and humid day for the stage in october. as roger has rightly said, there is rain for somebody, linked into this area of cloud stretching from the mid and helping to draw more humid air towards us but with it sitting across northern england, northwest wales, this is where we had heavier bursts of rain coming and going at the moment and more to come over the next two hours before a clear self and somehow traveston northern northern ireland and southern across scotland, the cloud breaking up here as we go through the days are increasing amounts of sunshine and many dry and the northern england, northwest well through the second half of the day as the south of it areas of mist and low cloud especially south—west and patchy light rain and drizzle but you have the brakes on the cloud it will feel warm with temperatures 20— 23- 24 will feel warm with temperatures 20— 23— 24 degrees, should be about 13-17 uk-wide 23— 24 degrees, should be about 13—17 uk—wide and even scotland, northern ireland northern england temperature substantially above normal for this time in temperature substantially above normalfor this time in england. it was a humid across the south, mist and low cloud and drizzle around some of the hills and coasts, 13 or 14 below. further north, some fresh temperatures, clear skies, a few showers and more of a breeze to take us into monday across the north—west of scotland. the breeze associated with the area of low pressure, this is the weather front bringing the cloud and rain today across parts of northern england and wales and starts to move northwards again tomorrow with lots of misty low cloud to begin with and some heavy may thundery showers breaking out quite rightly. north of england, scotland, northern ireland will stay dry with fewer showers and a bit brighter but also fresher than today, still humid in the south. back to you. thank you, matt, speak to you in a bit. junior doctors and consultants in england are to go strikes again from tomorrow in an escalation of the pay round with the government and we can talk more about this with the cordry, deputy chief executive of nhs providers. —— saffron. an organisational nightmare for your members to compensate for the staff who will not be working so give us some insight into what has been going on to prepare for the strikes. ~ ., , ,., , ., strikes. well, absolutely, and we know that the _ strikes. well, absolutely, and we know that the impact of - strikes. well, absolutely, and we know that the impact of this i strikes. well, absolutely, and wel know that the impact of this strike action is far—reaching. every time we see doctors and consultants going out on strike, it means days of preparation for trust leaders in order to keep patients safe during the strike period but also, a significant period after the strike action focused on rebooking appointments and really sweeping up after the period of a lack of staff available, so it has a massive impact and it means things like appointments, operations, diagnostic tests, they are all rescheduled. you say both the government and unions need to come to the table without preconditions however the government has said they will not reopen pay negotiations. would you urge them then to reconsider that position? urge them then to reconsider that osition? ~ ,,., , ., position? absolutely! i would urge the government _ position? absolutely! i would urge the government and _ position? absolutely! i would urge the government and the _ position? absolutely! i would urge the government and the union i the government and the union succumbed to the table without preconditions because it is absolutely inconceivable that they do not understand the harm to organisations and patients critically that this is causing. the harm comes now from the failure that comes from this dispute and what we have to remember is this industrial action is really ramping up. next week it is notjustjunior doctors and consultants. we also have radiographers coming on strike in the middle of the dispute. we should not underestimate the impact that will have. nine out of ten patients will have. nine out of ten patients will use a radiographer during their time in hospital so that will have a significant impact. i

interrupted by this, is not that immediate care is affected. we know the cover will be there. what the fallout from this action and some would say the reluctance of the government to come to the table, what the fallout of that will be weeks and months down the line and that's where we may see the real impact on patients and their outcomes. impact on patients and their outcomes-— impact on

struggling in the face of this industrial action. struggling in the face of this industrialaction. it struggling in the face of this industrial action. it is the long—term impact that is absolutely critical to understand here. i think to trust leaders to do their very, very best to keep patients safe but there is a real danger now that this strike action becomes business as usual and that means that the government thinks that patients are not coming to harm. it also means that the unions are thinking they have to ramp up action in order to have to ramp up action in order to have an impact. and that is a big issue. �* ~ �* �* . have an impact. and that is a big issue. �* ~�* �* . ~ issue. the bma, the british medical association. — issue. the bma, the british medical association, the _

the strikes of the government has been around £1 billion so far and they claim that settling the dispute will have cost the same amount. are those figures you recognise?— figures you recognise? certainly recounise figures you recognise? certainly recognise that _ figures you recognise? certainly recognise that £1 _ figures you recognise? certainly recognise that £1 billion - figures you recognise? certainly recognise that £1 billion cost, i figures you recognise? certainly i recognise that £1 billion cost, that is due to employee expensive agency staff to cover, and lost income and definitely a figure we recognise. i think it's actually hard to say what it would cost to settle the dispute because we do not know the point at which it will be settled, where the pay deal will come in but it is certainly true to say that the costs of this dispute are rising. that is across the nhs, the government and the union, it is a cost they can ill afford and that is why it is absolutely critical that industrial action is resolved. that is in the gift of the government and the gift of the unions.— gift of the government and the gift of the unions. we should say the government have offered, doctors are receiving a 10.3% pay rise and the average junior doctors getting 8.8%, consultant 6% pay rise and generous reforms to pensions. that is the government positions and they have had enough and there will be no further negotiations on pay. we will wait to hear what happens with that one. today is the day. atjust after 7:30 this morning, doddie weir's former team—mate kenny logan and a star—studded team are taking on an epic challenge to raise money for doddie's charity. kenny and his team will be taking on the gruelling challenge of walking and cycling 700 miles from murrayfield in edinburgh to the stade de france in paris, where kenny will deliver the rugby world cup match ball for ireland v scotland, raising as much money as possible in the process. we can now speak to kenny logan, who is poised at starting line in murrayfield. he's also joined by footballing legend ally mccoist who is one of the stars in the 20—strong world cup challenge team. good

sunak 2.0, slowing down and trying to chuck bits of red meat to the tory faithful and trying to shake up his image of his first image in office. a safe pair of hands and calming things down after the pandemonium and when politicians take a risk, a rebrand is risky and of course it is upsetting others on the other side. the question is who, will the real rishi sunak stand up? it will be interesting to see how it plays out because i think he will have a bumpy few days. the messaging is alwa s have a bumpy few days. the messaging is always directed _ have a bumpy few days. the messaging is always directed to _ have a bumpy few days. the messaging is always directed to the _ have a bumpy few days. the messaging is always directed to the nation - have a bumpy few days. the messaging is always directed to the nation as - is always directed to the nation as a whole. the key message is that he wants to land i suppose i am very much directed to the area is very things he can still get enough votes which is why he is owning in on motorists for example. that is right and i think he's trying to move to speak to what we the base, natural conservative voters trying to shore them up and trying to make them enthusiastic about something, whether it is driving, potholes. whether it is saying don't worry about increased costs for the environment, i was so that down and take that away from you. the big thing is over any political strategist is you cannot win elections based on the faithful. you have to be able to reach out but rishi sunak has been stuck behind in the polls for months and months and months and that is why we are seeing the change in tack because you cannot carry on as you. we have to change it up. the hard thing though in the big picture is he has been in charge for so long if he is trying to say the status quo is not good enough, we want change... who was in charge of the status quo and that is a criticism, you complain about it, you made it! it will be very challenging for him. he you made it! it will be very challenging for him. he had to manchester — challenging for him. he had to manchester and _ challenging for him. he had to manchester and all _

looking wobbly on some things so businesses for example and car manufacturers looking at announcements on net—zero the target and thinking hang on a minute, you are asking us to spend billions of pounds but can you trust a government to make that decision? so we will try to get a final answer and hatches to this morning but whether we do, we do not know! nine o'clock on bbc one. we are moving now on to bbc two and coming up soon, the grass is always greener. later in the programme, we'll be talking about a gardening competition with a twist. the ugliest lawn competition was created last

european fans were ready for more. and, boy, did they get it, as swedish's ludvig aberg together with viktor hovland made history, winning nine and seven — the biggest win ever at the ryder cup and one which left scottie scheffler in tears. the emotion of ryder cup! the us did finally have something to celebrate, max homa delivering their first victory. cheering and applause. but it was their only success of the morning. by the timejon rahm conjured his latest stroke of genius, europe led by seven points and were almost out of sight. how about this? john ramm. unbelievable! come the afternoon though, the us finally stirred. they won the first two matches, homa grabbing another point and apparently proving one. then, patrick cantlay, who is reportedly refusing to wear his team hat at the protest at the lack of payment at the ryder cup, did this. cheering and applause. his team—mates pointedly waved their hats while rory mcilroy was incensed by patrick cantlay's caddy, gesturing in the car park after a day of drama. at last, some fight from the us but europe need just four points from 12 singles matches. the ryder cup is still theirs for the taking. andy swiss, bbc news, rome. coverage of bbc sounds from 10am this morning. the referee's governing body has admitted it made a significant human error during tottenham— 21 then —— to—i win over liverpool. the visitors down to ten men when luis diaz scored. it was wrongly ruled out by unusually quick var decision. the offside line graphic wasn't shown. the goal should have stood and the body admitted after the game are clear and obvious factual error made. it was told the check was complete, forgetting the goal had not been awarded. at 2—2, it made it 1—1 deep in stoppage time and this is what happened. spurs were the winner courtesy of liverpool defenderjoel matip, that was when liverpool went down to nine men at that stage. the wind takes tottenham up to second. irrespective of our start we are still a team that is in its infancy in terms of the play we want to play and the age of the group and experience of the group but having that support behind us at home, the last two games has been unbelievable, the energy they have given the lads and it's great because we will need it moving forward with what challenges and especially at home, having the support behind us or make a big difference. support

world cup after a four—month break, the super league returns and it looks set to be the biggest season yet and possibly the most competitive. commentator: what a pass that is! it's russo! after another scintillating summer that the saw the lionesses once again grab headlines, it's now time for the women's super league to return. the summer transfer window was busier than ever, a sign of how the times have changed when only a few year ago, most players moved between clubs for free and on short—term deals. manchester united alone, who were pipped to the title last year, have brought in nine new faces. i've never seen so many deadline day signings in my life and, hopefully, neverwill because it is panicked. manchester united is about winning and everybody that signed, whether it be this year or throughout the years, has come to manchester united because they want to win. i think the season we had last year was incredible and we continue to break history and hopefully, well, we want to do that again this year. wsl games being held at big premier league stadiums are becoming a regular sight. this weekend alone, there are matches at stamford bridge, villa park and the emirates, where anther crowd of about 50,000 is expected. following the success of england at last year's euros and their heroic run to this summer's world cup final, it's been predicted that crowds across the board will rise once again this season. i expect to see attendances up, i expect to see viewership up, i expect to social media up, i expect to see inbound commercial interest up — everything should be off the scale. i mean, we're coming off the back of a fantastic summer. we've had a very concerted and structured strategy for the women's super league since 2018 when it became professional, and everything is coming good, so i think we're going to see every season from now on in hitting and exceeding previous records — at least, that's the hope. manchester united, manchester city and arsenal are expected to be amongst those teams who challenge this season but, once again, it'll be chelsea who start the season as favourites as they target a fifth consecutive league trophy and they begin the defence of their title at home to spurs. my biggest focus and effort is the fact that we've lost four opening game — games in a row. that's my biggest concern. we need a win on sunday. we haven't done it forfour years running. goes for goal! 0h! there are still plenty of issues when it comes to women's football. acl injuries continue to blight the game. the congested calendar was brought to the forefront again this week, as was appropriate kit and footwear. but when the action starts, the wsl deliverers. what a goal it is! as it continues to be regarded as the best league in the world. jo curry, bbc news. to the rugby world cup scotland's hopes of reaching the knockout stages remain alive, thrashing romania 811—0, running in 12 tries with darcy graham completing the rout with his fourth of the match. the scots ended five points shy of the biggest world cup win, likely now need to beat ireland and a bonus point in paris. that's on saturday. argentina running h tries as they thrashed chile 59—5 to set up a winner takes all final pool game with japan, victory meaning argentina returned to second in the group behind england who are already through. it also eliminates samoa from pool d. vg came from behind to beat georgia 17—12, bonus point win would have seen fiji deny australia placing the quarterfinals but they know that beating portugal next weekend will send them through and the aussies home. st helens remain on course to win their fifth consecutive super league title, beating warrington by 16 points— eight in the eliminator play—off with tommy mckinson's try proving to be decisive and now face cattle and dragons in friday's serme with a place in the grand final at old trafford on the line. britain's carolyn dubois is a world champion after taking the ibo lightweight title. she beat mcalea rodrigues at your call last night, knocking her down in the ninth round on her way to victory in what was unanimous points decision. it's the second time she has fought for a world title in the last few weeks and of course her older brother daniel moved controversially to heavyweight and was beaten by oleksandr usyk in august. 22 and really impressive. thank you, it's all setting itself up thank you, it's all setting itself up very, very nicely for a massive game between scotland and ireland at the rugby world cup. looking forward to that one. new trading rules for northern ireland are coming into force today as part of the deal between the uk and european union. it's designed to ease the movement of goods from great britain. the democratic unionist party is continuing to boycott devolved government in northern ireland in protest at the framework. chris page reports. brexit has been a challenging course to navigate. the irish sea became a trade border. the fallout for business and politics has been anything but calm. the changes coming in today have a particularly big effect on the food sector. this wholesale company makes deliveries to 5000 customers every week. this rives us a to 5000 customers every week. this gives us a level _ to 5000 customers every week. this gives us a level of _ to 5000 customers every week. try 3 gives us a level of certainty but it is not without its difficulties. have 180 b supplies and it means new paperwork, explaining new systems. —— we have 180 gb suppliers so that means new paperwork, explaining new systems. the previous arrangements, known as the northern ireland protocol, was designed to avoid check points on the [and border with the irish republic. northern ireland, in effect, remains in the eu single market, so goods arriving from the rest of the uk were inspected to ensure they were in line with eu rules. under the windsor framework, there's now a red lane for products that will travel onwards into the republic of ireland. they will still have routine inspections but there will be a green lane for goods staying in northern ireland, they will have minimal checks. i think i think if you compare it to pre—brexit, it is burdensome. if you compare it to the northern ireland protocol, it is less burdensome but what businesses are focused on is making this work, finding practical solutions with government to ensure there's a smooth flow of trade from gb to n! while meeting eu requirements around protection of the single markets. the issues of trade, borders and checks are profoundly political here. rishi sunak hopes the windsor framework will pave the way for the return of the devolved government a year and a half after it collapsed. the democratic unionist party is blocking the formation of a power—sharing coalition at stormont. it says the trade border with great britain has been threatening northern ireland's place in the uk. this month will be a critical time if devolution is to be restored. chris page, bbc news, belfast. chris page. shall we look at the weather. matt, we were talking about

should be and it's holding firm across western europe, very warm start to the new month. these are the expected temperatures we this afternoon, a good 5— eight above normal. the air coming up from the mid—atlantic at the moment bringing the humidity our way, helping to give the temperatures across most of western europe and extra breeze but as mentioned with that comes some rain and it doesn't necessarily submit dry, both returning to the north—west of wales pushing its way into northern england after we have had a bit of a respite from the heavy rain overnight so it will come and go

technology news with click. you know how it is. you're filming a standard street scene. there are people milling about. it's a lovely day. and then a robot wanders past your camera. "who is this devilishly handsome machine?" i hear you ask. well, it's me. and what i find really impressive is how easy this shot was to accomplish, because it pretty much is done with just one click. i'm using something called wonderstudio, which allows you to upload video footage to the cloud, where it uses high end computing to identify different people in the shot and then replace them with 3d bodies. there were a selection of characters to choose from. so naturally i've used them all. and trust me, to be able to do this out on the street with a normal, wobbly tv camera is a real step forward. in the past, actors — and occasionally yours truly — have had to film their scenes in dedicated spaces, performing something called motion capture. always in super—tight lycra, never leaving much to the imagination. see, the only way a computer could work out what your various bits were doing was to track your various reflective balls and build a new body from the framework. we spent eight weeks shooting and motion capture on that i was 19 years old at the time. that was like a dream job. now, if you recognise tye sheridan, it's probably because he starred in the steven spielberg film ready player one, which involved a whole lot of motion capture and cgi. you know, you're wearing the suit and the head cam and you've got the dots all over your face, and you know, it's a lot of fun. but unless you have hundreds of millions of dollars to go and shoot a film like that and afford the capture system, it's really challenging to break into. it was around the time of shooting the film that tye got together with visual effects supervisor nicola todorovic to set up wonder dynamics, with a view to creating a system which would allow anyone to motion capture anything, anywhere. with motion capture, the setup is a big problem. you always have to constrain yourself, and then if you want to shoot something else or move to a different location, you have to transfer all that, take your time to set up and do it. what we noticed, and tye and i worked together with some filmmakers that are very super artistically free, they'll shoot something, they'll see a different location in a distance. they're like, "let's go there." and sometimes this technology stops us from that. in order to replace an actor with a computer—generated character, this software needs to do two things that have traditionally needed specialist kits and specialist skills. first, you have to motion track the performer. that's what all the balls were about earlier. and second, you have to paint out the human and paint back in the background. and doing that on anything more than a very simple static shot gets really complicated, really quickly. oop! wonderstudio uses machine learning that's been trained specifically on the types of shots used in movies to find and track the people in the scene. and i have to say, it really doesn't do a bad job of it, even when the protagonist is pushing the limits of respectable human motion. contrast this one—click software to the relatively huge post—production teams needed for a movie—grade shot. you have to have like a quite large team of artists. you have to have a modeller, you have to have a rigger which makes the skeleton of the cg character. you have to have a lighter, you have to have a texture artist. then you also have to have a composer. then you have to have a colourist to finish the shot and put it all together. we're talking about a simple shot of one cg character — it could be on a small team, five or six people, and on a large team for a big production like a film, it could be 20, 30 people just for that shot. and yet, could some of this work now be automated? these days a! can recognise human bodies in a piece of video. it's almost trivial. this system, runway ml takes video footage, works out what the different elements in the shot are, and then re—themes the scene — meaning you can turn the whole shot into claymation, or you can set up some books and turn them into skyscrapers. and this app, simulon, which is still in development, uses an iphone's motion and depth sensors to provide more information about where the actor is and how the camera's moving. butjust think about that for a sec. this will be done on your phone. the results from all of these systems aren't perfect, but for some they may be good enough. this software allows people that were not involved in the visual effects industry to try things that they probably never thought they could try before. you know, it can really be used really easily on social media. you can create a lot of videos for tiktok and a lot of videos for instagram. a lot of videos for youtube, and there's a lot of really amazing creators out there creating some astonishing things on those platforms. so i think these kind of tools will really help them. but i think for production itself, for visual effects production, i think we are very far away from having something that works on a one—click solution. in early 2023, hollywood writers — followed by actors — went on strike, arguing that artificial intelligence poses a threat to creative professions, whether it's writing scripts or animating fake background actors. but i'm wondering if a! might also be coming for the animators themselves. i think it was really important for us not to say that al is going to do everything. that's why we built it the way we did. and that's why a! will not get you a perfect result. it will get you a base that you can then edit and manipulate. and that's something we work really hard. we are artists ourselves, so very conscious of building this in a way that really speeds up and amplifies the artist. nicola makes the point that wonderstudio is meant to be just part of a movie visual effects pipeline, which is why as well as a finished shot, the software spits out all of the separate elements too, so that a visual effects team can tidy up, tweak and change things after the scene has been shot. if, that is, you have a visual effects team. me, i don't even have a creative director. . .and it shows. you're doing it. even he's doing it. it was pretty cool, though. thank you. you've got to be careful putting on these kind of moves without warming up. i am not as nimble as i would like to be. but if you do do yourself a mischief, i might havejust the thing. like many people, i've had years of back and shoulder problems. i try to strengthen and stretch, but sometimes you just want a good massage. so i've been testing backhug. this bed maps your back before its 26 robotic fingers start doing their thing. first of all, you need to sync it up to the app. in there, you receive an automated physio appointment so you can explain any problems that you've got and what you're hoping to achieve. automated voice: your session has begun. my back�*s being scanned to start with. ok, it's good on the middle and upper back,and on the neck, but it's not getting into my shoulders. i'm just not feeling it enough in my shoulders. as well as choosing the strength you want before, you can choose how quickly you want it to reach that strength. so you may want it to be gradual, and it does feel particularly hard on the lower back so i've really had to turn that one down. the first time i used it, i was really impressed. but the more times i've used it, the less comfortable i found it on my lower back. it may be that i'm just a bit bony for it, and also my problem in my shoulder requires doing something all the way round. and of course this doesn't do that because all of the massagers are underneath you. but for anyone who's got an upper back neck or mid back problem, that i guess it can really get to it. i've also been testing the therabody recovery airboot pro. they aim to boost your circulation while also easing muscle soreness, swelling, stiffness and fatigue. the machine is charged so it doesn't need to be plugged in, which is easier for sitting somewhere with these on as well. you don't have to worry about your power socket as the boots inflate, which is how they create the compression. they're also in sections, so you can do just part of your leg. you don't have to do everything at once. and you can also choose different pressure in different areas. i've got the pressure set at 80 out of 100 so i can really feel the squeeze. but what happens when i go higher? ok, i'm on 90 now and at that level you can feel the blood pumping through your veins. and then when you finish gradually the air is let out and there is a kind of feeling of relief in my legs. but what's an elite athlete turned science writer make of them? i think they can be really relaxing, they feel good. and so what they do is they really increase circulation. but if you are someone who are using this product for recovery, you're probably pretty fit. you probably are not having problems with your circulation. but for a slightly different type of relaxation and recovery, i've been testing the higher dose sauna blanket. the idea is to increase your body's thermal energy to help you relax and improve circulation. it's been about ten minutes now and i am starting to sweat. it tells you to start on level five to six and then if you're not sweating to turn it up to seven or eight, which i did need to do, but now i'm definitely hot enough whether i'm going to get hotter and sweat more. so clearly it does the job of making you sweat, but how helpful is the concept overall? most of these things are just new ways to try and relax while you wait for your body to recover on its own. so very few of these things really make a difference in terms of helping to speed recovery, but they give people a sense of agency. i don't know if briefly using these devices made any material difference to me or not, but i can see that a sense of feeling like you're trying to do something, especially when it's enjoyable, had some benefit, especially when you're doing it on thejob. and i'm afraid that's it for the short cut of click from this the colours festival in london. the full length version is of course waiting for you on iplayer. thanks for watching. we'll be back next week. see you. good morning, it is sunday morning, welcome to breakfast. our headlines this morning. rishi sunak has arrived in manchester for his first party conference is prime minister. he is facing pressure across his party over tax cuts and hs2. a new energy price cap comes into force lowering gas and electricity bills, but charity warn of a tough winter ahead for many households. the bosses of dozens of high street stores coffer tougher action on shoplifting, including new laws in england and wales to deter attacks on their staff. good morning. the final day of the ryder cup gets under way later this morning in rome, despite a heated moment involving rory mcilroy and his opponents involving rory mcilroy and his opponent's caddy, europe are in control, four points from victory over the united states. and whilst it may be wet for a time, for at least some of you today the sun is out and it will feel particularly warm and humid on the first day of october. good morning, it is the first day of october, and our main story this morning is that the conservative party conference gets under way in manchester today as the prime minister faces pressure from manchester today as the prime ministerfaces pressure from members over taxes, the future of hs2, and environmental policies. rishi sunak has vowed to set out his long—term vision for the country in what could be his last party conference before the next general election. is it time to cut taxes, prime minister? questions being fired at the prime minister. will h52 ever reach manchester, prime minister? from all different directions. one of the loudest is a call for tax cuts. last year's conference was dominated by fallout over liz truss tax cuts by fallout over liz truss' tax cuts which spooked the markets. this year she'll be back, and using a speech to call for a corporation tax cut. and some tory mps have signed a pledge that they won't back any more tax rises. we're taxed at a 75—year high that they shouldn't go any higher. and what is really required is for the government to create growth in the economy. you don't do that by increasing taxes. you can't tax yourself rich. you can't even spend yourself rich. looming over this conference in manchester too, the question of whether the new rail line hs2 will ever make it here. ministers won't commit either way. former prime ministers borisjohnson and theresa may are among those warning cancelling the leg here would betray the north of england. from the right of the party another challenge — cabinet ministers kemi badenoch and suella braverman have called for tougher measures to tackle immigration. both have made no secret about wanting a debate on whether to leave the european convention on human rights. rishi sunak has inherited a very divided party. the conservatives have been in office for 13 years. that time has seen a huge number of changes in direction and leadership on big policy issues, everything from net zero to brexit to taxation. and so, going into a general election where he is well behind in the polls and the party is well behind in the polls, those divisions are going to be front and centre. all of these different camps, rishi sunak is striving to keep happy. he'll be hoping to do just that here. hi, i'm rishi. starting with an announcement today that 55 towns will be given £20 million over ten years to invest in things like sprucing up high streets and tackling anti—social behaviour. the question is, will it be enough in what could be his first and last conference as prime minister before the next election? lone wells, bbc news, manchester. we arejoined now we are joined now by our chief political correspondent. he has quite a challenge, hasn't he, the prime minister? he has to persuade people in the conference hall but also the wider nation that he is the man who can still lead the country come the next general election? ll is really do or die time for rishi sunak and his time as prime minister. from everything he has donein minister. from everything he has done in recent weeks, and everything we are expecting to do this week, that suggest he really gets that, because in the last few weeks, you have seen him move from a phase of trying to show competent leadership, trying to show competent leadership, trying to show competent leadership, trying to calm down the political situation, into a much more politically aggressive moment where he is trying to carve clear dividing lines between his party and the labour party. we saw that with the change in some of the green targets, we have seen that in recent days and some of the government's rhetoric on motorists, and i expect we will see at this week with plenty of different issues, perhaps the european convention on human rights, perhaps plenty of other things. there is no secret as to why rishi sunak is trying to find a clear dividing lines of the labour party. he has calmed down the political situation, he is not at risk of challenge like his predecessors were, but he is still a long way behind the labour party in the opinion polls, which is why if

today which lowers the annual bill for the average household. charities are warning for a tough winter ahead. although the cost of gas and electricity is following the summer, extra support given by the government last winter is no longer in place, as a cost of living corresponding to explains. might not feel like it right now, but the colder winter weather is on the way. and if it comes hard, it will be tough for people like andrewjones from kidderminster, even though prices have fallen. quality of life is going to go down. subscriptions are going to have to go like netflix, stuff like that. and ultimately, if it gets really bad, it's going to be a case ofjust moving into one room. just putting the heating on just when you really need it and just heating that one room and just leaving the others on maintenance just to keep them above zero so the pipes don't freeze. we really don't want to do that. last winter, andrew and many others did everything they could to cut their energy use. but there was government help, too. nearly everyone's bill was reduced by £400 over the course of six months. even before the discounts, a government guarantee meant the typical bill was kept to £2,500 a year over last winter and spring. that annual bill dropped to just over £2,000 injuly and government's help was scaled back. today, that's fallen again to just over £1,900 — a price that will last for the rest of the year. but the latest prediction, which is just a forecast at this stage, suggests that could edge up again to almost exactly £2,000 a year injanuary, according to analysts at the consultancy cornwall insight. standing charges — the fixed daily payments covering the cost of having a supply — are a rising element of that bill. but for the rest, experts say there are things we can all do. at uswitch, we're telling people to check, track and change. so that's check you've submitted meter readings recently to your supplier to get accurate bills, track your usage, keep an eye on how your home is consuming gas and electricity, and then change is look at ways of changing your behaviour to see if you can reduce your usage and make a saving on your bill. charities urge anyone struggling to seek advice early. after all, high bills are likely to be with us for some time yet. kevin peachey, bbc news. players will be set in merseyside this morning for a teenage girl and

is extended for a moment across the central swathe of uk. the south of it is where the particularly humid air is, but some mixing in with back out to give a pretty grey and drizzly start. this is the view in rochdale just a short while ago, upon the hills they are, very misty and foggy and pretty damp as well. some heavy bursts of rain around at the moment across parts of north—west wales, pushing back into northern england once again. we saw a heavier burst earlier on. to the north of it, we have a mixture of clear skies and showers, they will fade away as they drift eastwards, not a bad day here, and more sunshine and fewer showers in scotland this afternoon. we'll eventually brighten up slowly across northern england and north—west wales as a weather front edges southwards. the sight of it, you'll see the sunny breaks, but a bit of cloud, especially the further west you are. there we missed in the hills here, and across devon and cornwall and the midlands i will turn damp later. the temperatures, 17 to 23 degrees, well above the 13 to 17 celsius we should have at this stage on the first day of october. tonight it stays fairly humid across the south, with more drizzle forming. a sunny start across parts of scotland, northern ireland, and northern england. we'll see showers packing in with this area of low pressure close by, and strong winds tomorrow in the north—west. an area of cloud across the bulk of england and wales tomorrow, there will be some breaks to start with, and it will reinvigorate through the day. we'll see outbreaks of rain developing fairly erratically. some of the downpours later on could be torrential and thundery, and any brighter moments, temperatures back into the 20s, slightly fresher fuel for scotland and northern ireland. when the front really goes further, and into tuesday there is a ridge of high pressure, we will lose the overnight rain, sunshine and showers, the north and the west, always a bit drier and further south, with temperatures dropping a little bit at around 13 to 19 degrees. as we go through into wednesday, we have a cool start, but more rain arrives across the northern half the country, particularly scotland and northern ireland, edging into england and wales throughout the day. for this i should stay dry, and for the second have the weak, dry conditions should dominate across some southern areas. temperatures, 14 to 19 degrees. going beyond that, it looks like we'll see air coming in from the atlantic. the further south you are across the country, the dry conditions will be. temperatures could lift a little bit towards the end of the week, with low pressure still conspire to the north, we will still conspire to the north, we will still see some further showers at times. overall, there will be some wetter moments, but it will not be a wash—out. we'll still see some sunshine at times, and when it comes through, it should still feel reasonably warm.- through, it should still feel

tributes are coming in for a coach driver and teenage girl who died in a motorway crash in merseyside. 40—year—old stephen shrimpton and one of his passengers, jessica baker, died when the school bus overturned on the m 53 on friday morning. we will talk to margaret greenwood, the mp for wirral request, good morning and thank you for talking to us. it is terrible tragedy for the two families and for those who are injured, and the schools, but how is it affecting the broader community? people are really in a state of shock. when the news came through on friday, we knew that there were 50 schoolchildren being looked at on the side of the motorway next to a major crash. it is devastating for everybody involved. i know the people are really quite horrified at what has happened, and i would like to express my condolences in particular to the families of those who lost their lives, just baker and stephen shrimpton. it is a devastating loss. stephen shrimpton has left two children and a widow. both families have asked for people to respect their privacy at this really sad time. in terms of the broader community, i think people are devastated. i know that the emergency services have done a tremendousjob, and people, children and so forth, have been taking to local hospitals, and local hospitals have responded really strongly to the situation. i understand children are being offered support for the trauma they have experienced. there are also other coaches driving in convoy with this bus, so this will be profoundly dramatic for those children, and i know the school is working incredibly hard to support them. it will be a difficult time for everybody for quite some time to come. , , for everybody for quite some time to come. . , , ., for everybody for quite some

come. just give us an insight into some of the support that is - come. just give us an insight intol some of the support that is being offered to those who were involved. i know that wirral council are offering trauma support to the children involved, and i expect that the local health services will be. i don't have details on that, but i know the schools have been working very hard to support parents. i think, particularly on friday, there was so much panic as the news came through, because nobody knows what has happened, nobody knows who's children are in it, and i know people will be doing a lot to support their children over the weekend, and in the coming days and weeks to come to terms with what is a very devastating incident. both schools are in my constituency. i've met with both schools�* pupils schools are in my constituency. i�*ve met with both schools�* pupils on multiple occasions, they are very tight—knit communities, and... people further afield may not know the world, the peninsula just on the other side of the mersey from liverpool, and it is a clearly defined, and you mention the word community, there is a strong sense of community for people who live there, who are proud to live there, it was interesting to hear on friday but some members of staff who were involved in the industrial action involving the nhs, who are on a picket line. of course, they are local people as well. they came straight off the picket line to help those injured people who needed treatment? l those injured people who needed treatment? ~ . , treatment? i think that is absolutely _ treatment? i think that is absolutely right. - treatment? i think that is absolutely right. i - treatment? i think that is absolutely right. i visited | treatment? i think that is -

peg trying to do whatever they could to help. that is exactly what they would want to do. —— straight off the picket line. the community is absolutely the key word. ever since i have been the mp, it has been very marked to me just how strong the community is in terms of supporting each other, and church communities are very important in world west, so another of the prayer is being said for everybody involved. —— so i know there will be prayers being said. thank you very much. now, recently on breakfast, we have been looking at how retailers are trying to cope with the surge in shoplifting, abuse and anti—social behaviour. today, firms are calling for action. they want to make attacking a shoplifter a specific event, —— a shop worker a specific offence. this is already the case in scotland. on the front line against shoplifters, a constant, dangerous and expensive problem. adrian�*s shop in nottingham targeted every few days. this is one of our regular shoplifters. she�*s taking a couple of shampoo gift boxes here, which are worth about £10 each. she�*s spent some time choosing what to steal. she sneaks them into a bag and my assistant has already spotted her on cctv, so she�*s alerted me. so i�*m coming out of my storeroom to confront her. at which point she runs off. it�*s really exhausting because you just feel kind of under siege when there�*s a regular shoplifter, and so you�*re on edge all the time as a customer comes in and you don�*t know if they�*re going to spend £10 or steal £100 of stuff. sometimes itjust becomes so overwhelming in terms of cost that it means businesses can�*t, can�*t function, they can�*t, can�*t make any money, and they willjust disappear. so it needs to be tackled. a mile away, a rare chance to challenge one of those shoplifting. amy, not her real name, claims her partner�*s addiction leaves her with no money, so she steals every few days. this morning i stole two monster energy drinks and i decided to steal some pasties are going to microwave ham and cheese. i bought myself, i stole myself some soup, some pork pies. my shoes, my coat. i have to steal him clothes. do you think about the impact on the shop workers... yeah, because it's their stores. and they're trying to do a business. so when you're stealing, it's costing them money to the retailers to get that back. ..trust me. i feel when i steal, i feel very guilty doing it. but i have to. if you see security at the front of the shop, does that put you off? not really. i tried tkmaxx the other week. just wanted... ..my partner wanted me to steal some headphones. i got caught. and what�*s happened to you when you�*ve been caught? just been barred from the shops. police haven�*t been involved? no. what do you think shops, police could do more to stop people like you shoplifting? they should, when people shoplift, start putting literally pictures of the shoplifters on the internet, maybe the front doors so people can say — warning, you know, shoplifter. i don't think the police quite do theirjob properly. atjohn lewis in nottingham, this man steals a steam iron. it�*s not very subtle. he was arrested. shoplifters are costing the business millions and they�*re spending hundreds of thousands to tackle it. we have seen a ratcheting up of organised gangs and people with chaotic lives stealing to order from ourjohn lewis and waitrose shops. there has been a narrative for a while that retail crime is victimless and it�*s not victimless. it has a real impact. are people shoplifting because of the cost of living, do you think? that�*s not what we�*re seeing. we�*re not seeing people steal for need at all. we�*re seeing people steal for greed because they want to sell that product on. and are you happy that police forces are responding across the country to shoplifting? what we want to see is a consistent response every single time. so when there is a live incident and we dial 999, we want the police to come out every time. now, retailers are demanding the police improve their response to shoplifting. we won't go out to every single one reported but we've been to over - a thousand this year alone. but we will deal with them in other ways as well- through our technological solutions, dealing with them online, _ via the telephone. it will all depend i on how it's graded. the eyes of shop owners and security on where the shoplifters will strike next. lucy manning, bbc news. the conservative party conference gets under way in manchester today, and the prime minister is facing pressure from across

are going to start talking about europe? let�*s focus quickly and what is happening notjust for us but also across western europe. at the back of what has been declared in a number of countries the warmest september on record, france by some margin and here in the uk, the top one or two of warmest september some at the met office doing all the number crunching next week and let us know but as we start in october, we are on the same vein, incredible one for the first day, temperatures in the south—west of spain and around eastern parts of portugal could reach 3637 degrees, could be record—breaking in parts of south—west france and that work to a certain degree felt with us. temperatures wildly around 55 and 8 degrees above we should be at this stage in the month. once does not always necessarily mean dry are some of you are already discovering a parts parts of northern england and wales. more heavy rain in the north and west of wales, pushing towards manchester, especially south yorkshire and that will come and go for some hours yet before it marches south. heavy showers across the north and scotland, some into northern ireland, some of those during the afternoon and northern england and north wales brightening up england and north wales brightening up but to the south, areas of cloud, especially misty in the south—west, turning damp and dress like later. cloud taking in the south—east corner, 23 or 24 celsius, we should be around 13—17 . leading into corner, 23 or 24 celsius, we should be around 13—17. leading into a warm and muggy night, quite a bit of mist and low cloud especially in wales and the south—west. temperatures in the south significantly above normal blood pressure further north compared to last night, some clear skies and some showers which i was packing and in north—west scotland on monday. stronger ones to come, that�*s weather front across england and wales bringing cloud, misty and drizzly in the west and the cloud with some breaks and sunny spells will thicken through the afternoon and we will see showers and thunderstorms developing. very erratically, longer spells of rain for some of you especially in wales, further north, much more sunshine, some showers, fresher than today, he met in the south—east. some very heavy rain expected to push eastwards from wales through central and eastern parts of england as we go through monday night. that should just about clear as we go into tuesday, opening the door to dropping temperatures, wind is coming from the north—west on tuesday so temperatures closer to where we should be for the time of year. early rain in east anglia and the south—east, showers in the west during the morning, frequent in scotland and northern ireland but fewer in the afternoon, more sunshine and a blustery day, feeling, and pleasant from the sun is out. enjoy your weekend. thank you so much. enjoy the rest of your day. musicians are well—known for pushing boundaries and venturing into different genres — but when "black sabbath: the ballet" was announced, it raised a few eyebrows. imagine ozzy osbourne in 82! it is not quite like that. it�*s true — the legendary heavy metal band are the inspiration for a new contemporary ballet, which has opened to rave reviews in their hometown of birmingham. amy cole reports. when heavy metal meets ballet. this is the electrifying result. the ballet has just opened at the birmingham hippodrome to rave reviews. one man who�*s been blown away is the band�*s co—founder and guitarist, tony iommi. what do you make of the show? i think it�*s fantastic. i mean, it really is actually seen it the final thing. itjust blew me away. because there are two massive genres heavy metal music, ballet. did you ever think in your wildest dreams that they could be merged? no, never really did. but, you know, i�*ve heard it in different things. i�*ve heard it on accordions and orchestras and all sorts of different things. but i never thought of ballet. the director of birmingham royal ballet is a man who likes to challenge perception and take risks. carlos acosta admits there were a lot of raised eyebrows when he mentioned sabbath. you know, a lot of people thought that it's not for them. but the reality is that, you know, that's where the creativity is when you bring the right people to try to bring this artistic expression to a level that haven't been seen before, i think you would come up with wonderful things, you know? arranging the music has been a mammoth task and key to its success. some of the band�*s hits like iron man will sound different. there's a point in act one - where we hear exactly that music, but it's transformed into something really lyrical and gentle. _ so it's... two sides of the same coin, if you like. - and that's the power that. you have that you can deploy in a show. when you have such strongl material, you make it speak in a different way. the hope is that this ballet will attract new audiences. tony iommi told me this morning that he�*s never seen a ballet before. so you�*ve opened up his eyes? yeah, yeah. hopefully he'll come and watch a swan lake or the nutcracker. we'll see if we persuade him to. i said that to him! that would be amazing. and so, say critics, is this show with tickets currently sold out. amy cole, bbc news. if you�*re not the green—fingered type and struggle to maintain a pristine lawn, there�*s a gardening competition that may be just for you. because i am not! basically, don�*t not bother. an island in sweden has become
