the prime minister has warned that the budget this october will be "painful", in his first major speech from no 10 since becoming prime minister. speaking in the rose garden, he said his government had inherited a "black hole" in the public finances, of £22 billion. those with the broadest shoulders should bear the heaviest burden, he cautioned, but he also said there would be "big asks" of everyone. the conservatives responded by saying the speech was an indication that labour had been planning tax rises all along. vicki young has our top story. blue skies and sunshine, but the prime minister didn't come here to paint a rosy picture. he has accused the conservatives of wrecking the economy, leaving him to put it right. there is a budget coming in october. and it is going to be painful. we have no other choice, given the situation that we are in. those with the broadest shoulders should bear the heavier burden. i will have to turn to the country, and make big asks of you as well. it's already been announced that millions of pensioners will no longer get the winter fuel payment, something that wasn't mentioned

during the election campaign. the chancellor has also admitted that some taxes will go up. many want to know what the impact of the budget will be, so if you are being honest, can you tell them now what kind of tax rises you are considering? i didn't want to have to deal with the winter fuel allowance for pensioners, but we have to fix the nhs, we have to fix our homes, our schools, and pensioners rely on them in the same way as everybody else does, so i am not going to pre—empt the budget, but i am absolutely not going to accept that the inheritance we have isn't anything other than dire. keir starmer�*s only be in the job for a few weeks, but he is already managing expectations about how much he can achieve in five years. previous prime ministers have been accused of overpromising and underdelivering — he seems to be trying to do the opposite.

invited to downing street today were campaigners and business owners the prime minister met during the election. what did they make of his message? i think he is an ethical man, he will do the right things for the right reasons, and some of them will be unpopular. we have had a shambles for years, and i voted for that shambles, and i'm horrified. we are concerned about any tax surprises. - we will have to wait and see. conservatives deny they left the economy in a mess, and say labour want an excuse to put up taxes. they have been chasing all over, trying to tell people there is a black hole, but they found billions and billions of pounds for payments to trade unions for going on strike, and paying those pay demands, and of course labour has no plan for tackling welfare, which was part of the conservative manifesto commitment. and the liberal democrats want more details from the government about health plans. the liberal democrats fought the last election on real bold ambitious programme to reform our nhs and care, properly funded.

and liberal democrat mps will be championening that and pushing the new government notjust to look backwards, but to have a plan so we can afford to turn round our nhs. parliament returns next week, and you can bet ness arguments will be rehearsed many times in the run up to the budget. a lot of mud is being flung at the last tory government, how long do you think labour can maintain the argument that everything is their fault? fist argument that everything is their fault? �* , ., , argument that everything is their fault? , ., , , , fault? at the strategy is very clear, fault? at the strategy is very clear. isn't — fault? at the strategy is very clear, isn't it. _ fault? at the strategy is very clear, isn't it. keir— fault? at the strategy is very clear, isn't it. keir starmerl fault? at the strategy is very | clear, isn't it. keir starmer is trying to shape those political and economic arguments notjust trying to shape those political and economic arguments not just for the next few months but the next few years and let us face it, he is not particularly subtle. it was a lovely summer's day to be invited to the garden and sit there, but it also of course allowed keir starmer to remind people about the parties that took place there during lockdown and he called it a symbol of the rot hat

the heart of the last government. he is trying to frame the legacy and apportion blame in advance if you like for what is called the apportion blame in advance if you like for what is called the difficult decisions that are coming, difficult decisions that are coming, he is hoping people will accept he is hoping people will accept those tax rises and probably those tax rises and probably spending cuts that he is very likely spending cuts that he is very likely to have to announce in october, the to have to announce in october, the tories of course say this is a tories of course say this is a choice that they are making, so, choice that they are making, so, keir starmer said we will have to keir starmer said we will have to accept short—term pain for long—term accept short—term pain for long—term good. what we don't know yet, is good. what we don't know yet, is exactly where that pain is going to exactly where that pain is going to be inflicted. be inflicted. exactly where that pain is going to be inflicted-— exactly where that pain is going to be inflicted-— exactly where that pain is going to be inflicted. ., ~ , ., n ., be inflicted. thank you, vicky young our deu be inflicted. thank you, vicky young our deputy political— exactly where that pain is going to be inflicted. ., ~ , ., n ., be inflicted. thank you, vicky young our deu be inflicted. thank you, vicky young our deputy political— be inflicted. thank you, vicky young our deputy political editor _ be inflicted. thank you, vicky young which included cost overruns be inflicted. thank you, vicky young our deputy political editor _ be inflicted. thank you, vicky young our deputy political editor there. - sir keir starmer says he has no our deputy political editor there. - sir keir starmer says he has no choice but to try fix the uk's choice but to try fix the uk's economic foundations quickly, economic foundations quickly, but what does that mean for all us? but what does that mean for all us? simonjack, is here, simonjack, is here, and has been looking at the numbers. and has been looking at the numbers. the public finances are worse the public finances are worse than the government thought than the government thought but the economy is doing better but the economy is doing better than expected, so how do than expected, so how do those things play out? those things play out? the government insists they have the government insists they have found an unexpected £22 billion hole found an unexpected £22 billion hole

in this year's public finances in this year's public finances which included cost overruns on departmental spending. but £9 billion of that is eseentially self inflicted, the government chose to accept recommended pay rises for millions of public sector workers, which labour argue will help boost growth by ending strikes which have paralysed sections of the economy. and in fact the economy is growing faster than expected. the obr expected 0.8% for the whole of this year — in fact it grew 1.3% in the first six months, the fastest growth in the g7, which should mean more tax revenue. but latest figures show the government borrowed £5 billion more than the obr expected in the last three month period, futher evidence say labour, that the obr didn't knowjust how much the government had overspent. net result, if the government chooses to stick to its self imposed plan to have debt falling as a percentage of gdp by the end of this parliament, tax rises are inevitable. a rise in the rate of income tax, vat and national insurance have

already been ruled out as they don't want to raise taxes on work. but the prime minister said those with the broadest shoulders should bear the most, which means likely candidates for hikes include those generally paid by the better off, such those on capital gains, inheritances and private pensions, not taxes on work directly, but taxes that some working people and their employers do pay. we will find out where the promised pain will be felt in the budget on october 30th. simon, thank you. scottish government ministers have been told budget problems they face this year are largely of their own making. the holyrood budgetary regulator, the scottish fiscal commission, says the government under—estimated public sector pay increases. it's also warned there's more uncertainty over budgets this year, because of the change of government at westminster. people in crisis with mental health problems can now access services through nhs iii in england, giving them another way

colin paterson has more from manchester. me and him were, like, telepathic, you know what i mean? i know my brother better than anybody else. this is how oasis announced they were back. the brothers finally confirming a series of huge shows next summer. always famous for their feuding... we don't like each other, man. ..today�*s news might help explain why noel gallagher had recently been so complimentary about liam. do you think your voice brings a sensitivity to the songs? - if songs were drinks, right, liam's is a shot of tequila, right? and mine's half a guinness. at the height of their mid—�*90s britpop peak, oasis were simply massive. even harry enfield's kevin and perry paid tribute. how was manchester? yeah, you know, result, top, mad for it. # so sally can wait... # and despite splitting up 15 years ago, there's a strong argument that they remained the biggest band in britain.

not surprisingly, in manchester's northern quarter, it wasn't hard to find people with opinions on the reunion. it's amazing for all the fans and it's wonderful to keep that lineage of music going and make up as brothers, because they're family, at the end of the day. when did they make up? how has this happened? what's your theory? 0h, a money grab. you can't say that! i can, it's too late, sorry. people are already reserving parking spaces, apparently. and hotels are at £800 already. everyone's over the moon, aren't they? fingers crossed they don't fall out again, you know what i mean? in two minutes. you know what i mean? you know what they're like, don't you? eh? and across the city, there was much excitement at the microdot gallery, a stop on the oasis walking tour. we're very lucky to have the original fireplace from the front cover of definitely maybe. if this can be the catalyst to give people a bit of happiness, you know, who better to drag us out of the doldrums than liam and noel at the end of the day? this is a posterfor

oasis's famous shows at knebworth and have a look at the ticket price. £22.50. it's going to be rather more than that when they go on sale on saturday. # it's a crazy situation... # that's not the only thing which is still to be announced. no confirmation yet on which other members of oasis will be returning. and thanks to those rows, there are plenty to choose from. colin paterson, bbc news, manchester. it's going to be interesting. time for a look at the weather. here's tomasz. it is looking good tomorrow. not the case at the moment, we will get the sunny spells and maybe a few showers on wednesday but at the moment it is overcast with a brace of rain across many western and north—western parts of the uk. a weather front extending here across the uk, it has been damp around merseyside and the lake

district and the pennines, but through disappeared overnight the rain is going to basically rein itself out and there will be just a strip of kaito toba by the time we get together on wednesday morning. wherever you are in one state is going to be a relatively mild start, 1a celsius in glasgow and edinburgh, about 1a on the south coast of england as well. so here is tomorrow, not so fine in northern ireland and western scotland but for the bulk of the uk, sunny spells, the bulk of the uk, sunny spells, the odd shower in land, quite hot in some eastern areas of east anglia could heat up to about 28 but for the north—west of the country, some 10 degrees lower. most of us will be somewhere in between. a fine day for many of thursday apart from a few showers but a change of the wind direction, this is the atlantic breeze so that means we will lose the 28 across east anglia, quite a drop down to 22. but nonetheless it's going to be a pleasant day for many of us on thursday. on friday and into the weekend, we are

creeping in towards the end of the month, then into september. how did that happen? my goodness. that's going to be the 1st of september, the first day of meteorological autumn. here it is, the first few days of september. it's actually looking fine, mid 20s in the south, pushing 20 or so in many other parts of the country. so summer is not over yet if that's what you want to hear! thanks, tomasz. that's it. now let's join our colleagues for the news where you are. have a very good evening. hello. thanks forjoining us on sportsday. we have a bumper programme coming your way. we'll be in paris, hearing from the british flagbearers ahead of the opening ceremony for the paralympic games. i'm trying to take it all in, it's kind of crazy right now. i'm just
