good evening. big asks are going to be made of the public in october's budget, the prime minister said today, in a major speech in the number 10 garden. sir keir starmer warned that his government had inherited a black hole in the public finances of £22 billion. he said those with the broadest shoulders should bear the heavier burden. the conservatives responded by saying his speech was an indication that labour had been planning tax rises all along. in a moment, we'll look ahead to what may be in the budget with our business editor simonjack, but first, our deputy political editor vicki young reports on the prime minister's speech. 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 now 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 that we have isn't anything other than dire. keir starmer�*s only been 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, and he will do the right things for the right reasons, and some of them will be unpopular. it's great to hear that productivity and growth is at the heart - | of everything but it's an easier| thing to say but i hope he's got the courage to make the policy decisions to help them. - 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 detail from the government about health plans. the liberal democrats fought the last election on a real bold, ambitious programme to reform our nhs and care, properly funded. and liberal democrat mps will be championing that and pushing the new government not just 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 these arguments will be rehearsed many times in the run up to the budget. vicki young, bbc news, westminster. sir keir starmer says he has no choice but to try fix the uk's

economic foundations quickly. what does that mean for all of us? simonjack is here and has been looking at the numbers. the public finances are worse than the government thought but the economy is doing better than expected, so how do those two things play out? the government insists they have found an unexpected £22 billion hole in this year's public finances which included cost overruns on departmental spending. but £9 billion of that is essentially 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% growth for the whole of this year. in fact, it grew 1.3% in the first six months of the year — 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 the government says it doesn'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 as those on capital gains, inheritances and private pensions — not taxes on work directly, but taxes that some working people and their employers do pay. both main parties promised to curb government borrowing over time, which meant tax rises or spending cuts would be needed to balance the books. economists hope that the short—term pain the prime minister talked about today won't dent recovering

consumer and business confidence. we will get answers on october 30th, with a budget that could define this government. simon, thank you. well, keir starmer has just landed in berlin ahead of a visit tomorrow. our chief political correspondent henry zeffman is travelling with him. henry, the sense that labour has inherited a parlous situation from the conservatives is something we're hearing time and again. expect to hear it again and again so more. yes, it will be contested vigorously by whoever ends up as sir keir starmer�*s conservative opponent but for this new government and prime minister, their economic inheritance is the essential precondition to understanding why they are making decisions which they concede meaning some things will get worse before they start to get better. we heard the last conservative government talking about the infamous there is no money

note for 14 years and i would not be surprised to hear labour politicians talk about what they perceive as the conservatives black hole for a similar period of time. as there is a seam on the economy, so there is a clear theme when it comes to diplomacy. as he landed in berlin for talks with the chancellor olaf scholz a while ago, the prime minister talked about wanting to reset relations with europe and we have heard that before and will hear it again. he also said he wanted to fix the broken relationships that the uk has with some of the eu main players. no prizes for guessing who he thinks broke those relationships but on diplomacy, as on the economy, there will come a time when sir keir starmer will bejudged on his own decisions. starmer will be “udged on his own decisions. . . ~ starmer will be 'udged on his own decisions. . ., ~ ., ., decisions. ulreich, thank for now, hen . and victoria derbyshire will have more on this on newsnight on bbc two shortly. as the pm warns about painful budget to come, we ask the labour treasury minister if we are heading back to austerity in some form. newsnight is

live on bbc two, and i play at 10:30pm. the israeli miltary has rescued a 52—year—old man who'd been held hostage by hamas in gaza since last october. qaid farhan alkadi, an arab israeli, had been working as a guard at a warehouse when he was abducted. he's now recovering in hospital and has been reunited with his family. here's our middle east correspondent lucy williamson. surrounded again by sunlight, by the sound of hebrew. farhan alkadi, a 52—year—old bedouin israeli, catching bedouin israeli, snatching a second chance at life. crouched on the floor of a military helicopter, after 326 days in captivity, a smile. the start of his journey back home. at israel's soroka hospital, his last few moments in hiding. a wall of israeli soldiers shielding him from the world he left ten months ago.

from a tunnel in gaza to an israeli ambulance in a couple of hours. his family racing the last few metres to greet him. thin and pale but staff said in a good and stable condition. translation: it is difficult to explain how it feels. - it is better than having a newborn. we thank god and we thank everyone and hope to see him healthy. we're very happy, very happy. israel's prime minister called to welcome him home, keen to be part of his release. we cannot go into many details of this special operation but i can share that israeli commandos rescued qaid farhan alkadi from an underground tunnel following accurate intelligence. the army has described this as a complex operation based on precise intelligence

but there are persistent reports here of a more nuanced story, even that farhan alkadi may have escaped his captors himself. tonight, a senior military official confirmed that troops had found him in a tunnel, alone. last week, israel brought back the bodies of six other hostages. the funeral of one, haim perry, was held in israel today. the joy of one family and the grief of another. a trickle of hostages returning as more than 100 others, and a ceasefire deal, remain stubbornly out of reach. lucy williamson, bbc news, soroka hospital, southern israel. now returned to news emerging from the us in the last half hour. prosecutors filed on tuesday a revised indictment of former president donald trump on charges that he tried to overturn

the 2020 us election after losing tojoe biden. our north america correspondent, john sudworth, is in washington. explain exactly what this means, john. explain exactly what this means, john. . , explain exactly what this means, john. ., , .,, ., explain exactly what this means, john. ., , ., , john. donald trump has of course never stepped — john. donald trump has of course never stopped repeating - john. donald trump has of course never stopped repeating the - john. donald trump has of course l never stopped repeating the claim, made completely without foundation, that he won the 2020 election, falsely saying thatjoe biden essentially one as a result of voter fraud. there can be little doubt that mr trump attempted to cling to power. the question has always been, was that attempt criminal? the justice department clearly thinks it was and it brought charges against him in 2023. but mr trump is a man of course with deep pockets, the case has run into all sorts of delay and challenges against it, not least the challenge that was taken right to the very pinnacle of the us legal system, to the supreme court, where mr trump enjoys a conservative

supermajority, three of those justices are appointed during his time in office, and they issued the landmark ruling a few months ago that mr trump enjoys broad immunity from prosecution, particularly for acts relating to his official business. many people said this shattered the existing precedent that nobody was above the law but there you are, the prosecutors have had to go away, we consider the indictment, and they have now removed parts about that relate to mr trump and's official instruction. for example, where perhaps before they included examples of him instructing government lawyers, those bits have come out and the conspiracy they are charging him with impulse only him and private actors, his own private lawyers, for example. the charges remain the same, essentially that mr trump attempted to obstruct and defraud the american voters as a whole in their right to see the result of that election respected, but what we

should really point out of course are two things, firstly that it is very unlikely this case will be heard before the election so you might say it is all academic, but because we are unlikely to hear it before the election, in some ways it raises the stakes because of course if mr trump loses in november, then you almost certainly will see him facing this new, revised indictment but if he wins, he will be able to tell the justice but if he wins, he will be able to tell thejustice department but if he wins, he will be able to tell the justice department to but if he wins, he will be able to tell thejustice department to put but if he wins, he will be able to tell the justice department to put a stop to it. tell the justice department to put a sto to it. . ~ i. ukraine has revealed more details about its incursion into the kursk region of russia. it's now into its fourth week and, in that time, ukraine says it's taken 500 square miles of territory and now controls 100 settlements. the region is home to a nuclear power plant that's been inspected by the un because of fears of a nuclear incident, and we'll hear more about that shortly from steve rosenberg. in response to ukraine's advance, moscow has launched missile attacks across ukraine for a second night last night.

let's talk first to nick beake, who's in the sumy region. another night of russian missiles. good evening, yes, this is one of many parts of ukraine that's been plunged into darkness this evening because of ongoing russian strikes. moscow says it's targeting the energy infrastructure in the country but today we have seen at least six civilians killed. earlier this evening, many people going to sleep tonight i wonder whether there will be a third consecutive night of aerial attack. the past 48 hours, this renewed bombardment has prompted president zelensky to call on his western partners to give him permission to use foreign—made orange missiles so he can strike further into russia, which he says will help prevent the strikes we have seen over the last 48 hours. so far, the answer has been no, and the

rational is they don't want to escalate things and get into a wider all—out war with president putin. what more did we learn today about that incursion into the kursk region? it that incursion into the kursk re . ion? . , that incursion into the kursk reuion? ., , ., , that incursion into the kursk reuion? .,, ., , ., that incursion into the kursk reuion? ., , ., ., region? it was from this region that the incursion _ region? it was from this region that the incursion was _ region? it was from this region that the incursion was launched - region? it was from this region that the incursion was launched three i the incursion was launched three weeks ago. today the ukrainians said they continued to take more land and they continued to take more land and they had captured around 600 russian prisoners of war and all the indications we have seen over the past couple of days if they have no intention of giving up this territory. russia says there will be a response. it's unclear whether what we've seen in the last couple of days to adjust a response or whether there is more punishment to use the word that vladimir putin has been using. as for president zelensky, he is talking today about a victory plan. he says he wants to take this to the united states and present it to president biden and he says the aim here is to put ukraine

in the strongest possible position so that russia can be brought to the negotiating table. the problem is, if you listen to the kremlin and president putin, he is saying at the moment there is simply nothing to talk about. well, as we mentioned, the kursk region contains a nuclear plant, which isjust 30 miles from the front line. the site was visited today by the head of the un's nuclear watchdog because of anxiety about a nuclear incident. our russia editor, steve rosenberg, has more on that. for rafael grossi, this was urgent. the un's nuclear chief had come to inspect a russian nuclear plant that's now in a warzone. there is fighting less than 30 miles from here, after the ukrainian incursion into kursk region. russia claims ukraine tried to attack this facility. the visitor didn't confirm that, but... i was informed about the impact of drones.

i was shown some of the remnants of those. this may sound absolute common sense and very simple. don't attack a nuclear power plant. the kursk nuclear power plant has no protective dome that would shield it from drone attack or artillery. it's very exposed. and that's very worrying for those next—door, who can hear the sounds of war. "sometimes it can be quite loud", lilia says. "at first the kids were worried, but i told my daughter, "air defences will protect us." "our leadership is to blame", says vladimir. "in 2022, we said we'll destroy the enemy in two days. "instead, they smashed up half of russia." the un is worried, too, by the situation at the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in russian—occupied ukraine. earlier this month, a fire broke out

there in one of the cooling towers. moscow and kyiv traded accusations over the cause. according to the picture painted by moscow, only one country right now is a threat to nuclear security, and that is ukraine. it is a picture that omits a key detail, this — that, in the last two and a half years, only one country has invaded its neighbour and seized a nuclear power plant, and that is russia. and, while moscow accuses others of risking a nuclear calamity, it is parading its nuclear strength on red square. "our strategic nuclear forces are ready for use", reads this new sign — a putin quote. and here's another — "retribution is inevitable. "the aggressor will be destroyed." steve rosenberg, bbc news, moscow. more than 3,500 current and former workers

at the retailer next have won a six—year legal battle for equal pay. an employment tribunal said that shop staff, most of whom are women, shouldn't be paid less than warehouse employees, who are predominently male. next says it will appeal the ruling. all social workers should have mandatory training in how to spot coercive and controlling behaviour, says the domestic abuse commissioner for england and wales. nicole jacobs' comments came after she was shown evidence from a bbc investigation that discovered many social work students may not receive specific training on how to detect this kind of abuse. social workers usually become involved when a case includes a child. controlling perpetrators use psychological abuse to isolate and harm their victims. it's been a crime since 2015, and there were nearly 44,000 offences recorded last year. anna collinson has this report. it's like you're living

with bated breath. psychological control intensifies over time. he started imposing various rules on me. break the rules and there are consequences. what he would do is lock me out of my own house till he'd decided that i'd been punished enough. at times it would be raining or freezing cold in the middle of winter. we're protecting this woman from her abusive ex—partner. we're calling her lisa. he would explode with violence once or twice a year. after eventually reporting this to police, social workers were brought in, because they had a child together. lisa left her partner, but the coercive control continued. he was saying that i was the abuser and that he was the victim. she says children's services failed to see through his lies. how would you describe the support you received from social workers? i haven't received support

from social workers. one in four women are subject to domestic abuse at some point during their lifetime. it's a massive challenge, detecting a controlling abuser. it is psychological violence. a challenge many social workers face every day. if we don't understand coercion and control, then we don't understand domestic abuse. if we don't understand domestic abuse, people will be at risk of being killed. but the bbc has found that, too often, social workers don't get this. it's about thinking outside the box. what else can we do, as part of that safety planning? specialist training, like here in birmingham. when social workers are not given that training, you're actually disempowering social workers. at a time when they need to protect children from abuse in their house. the regulator expects university social work courses to teach skills to detect coercive control, but our investigation has found more than a third don't. as for those that do,

the training can be as long as 20 hours or as short as one hour. ijust find it baffling. we shared our findings with the domestic abuse commissioner for england and wales. is it acceptable that, nearly a decade after coercive controlling behaviour has become a crime, there are social workers out there who don't understand what it is? training for social workers should be mandatory. there's so many reasons why we have to get this right from the start, at the start, not learning on thejob. and that's so important for victims and survivors. the regulator, social work england, say they inspect university courses to meet professional standards for safe practice. these injustices cannotjust be allowed to carry on indefinitely. this coercive control expert is helping lisa now. there's nothing left of my life that gives me any hope for the future. she needed help at the time from social workers who she says misunderstood her abuse, and now her relationship with her child has been severely damaged.

i'm so sorry that you've been through this and that you're still going through it. anna collinson, bbc news. and, if you feel you've been affected by the issues raised in anna's report, or you want to find more information about what coercive control is, there are details of organisations offering information and support via the bbc�*s action line, at bbc.co.uk/actionline, or you can call forfree. after years of bad blood and barbed comments, one of music's biggest feuds appears to be over, with the announcement that noel and liam gallagher are reforming oasis for a series of uk and european concerts next year — the first time they'll have played together in public since 2009. tickets go on sale on saturday in what's expected to be a multi—million pound pay day for the brothers. colin paterson reports 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. he's swinging this guitar around and he kind of... you know, he nearly took my face off with it. ..today�*s news might help explain why noel gallagher had recently been so complimentary about liam. if songs were drinks, right, liam's is a shot of tequila, right? and mine's half a guinness. # maybe i don't really wanna know... it's exactly 30 years this week since the release of their debut album, definitely maybe. oasis are being hyped as the best band around at the moment... when they were interviewed by zoe ball, who wore an extraordinary cap. you are being hyped as the best band around at the moment. is all the hype true?

yeah. it is? yeah, we're the best band about today, on the planet. it's a fact. and, despite splitting up 15 years ago, there 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. 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... the band have said they will not be playing glastonbury, there is no word on any new music and no confirmation on which other members of oasis will return. thanks to those rows, there are plenty of them to choose from. colin paterson, bbc news, manchester. this time tomorrow, the paralympics will be officially under way, after the opening ceremony in paris. it's 11 days of elite competition across 22 sports, involving 4,400 athletes representing 128 nations. our sports correspondent, andy swiss, reports from paris. go! ready for the final push.

britain's paralympians aiming for glory in paris. whatever their sport, success is in their sights. well, that was nice. it all starts with tomorrow's opening ceremony, where wheelchair tennis player lucy shuker and wheelchair basketball�*s terry bywater will carry the flag. bywater�*s now at his seventh games, but this means more than anything. i was...i was emotional, i'm not going to lie. i cried when i had my team—mates coming up to me and giving me huge cuddles with tears in their eyes. yeah, it was just such an emotionalfeeling, finding out that i'm going to be carrying my nation's flag in the biggest sporting event in the world. to be a paralympian is one thing. to be a five—time paralympian and then be a flag—bearer, it'sjust insane. but their team has a tough act to follow. three years ago in tokyo, britain won some 124 medals and finished second in the table. so what can they do here in paris? well, their target is 100 to 140 medals and a top—five

finish in the table. it won't be easy, but there's certainly no shortage of potential. bly twomey is just 14. she was spotted by world champion will bayley when he returned home after the last games. the pair started training together and now twomey is also in the team, and her schoolmates will certainly be watching. come on, then. they're going to set up a television and everyone's going to be watching instead of doing work. really? literally all of my family are going to come and watch me play, and i think it'sjust going to be amazing. others, though, are slightly further along theirjourney. britain's most decorated paralympian, dame sarah storey, hoping to add to her 17 gold medals, some 32 years after her first games. i feel really fortunate to still be contending and hopefully it inspires other people to realise that

you don't have to worry about age. sometimes you canjust try and follow a dream you didn't know you had. keely hodgkinson gets the gold! and so, after the success for britain's olympians here, now it's the paralympians' turn, as they hope to bring this summer of sport to the perfect ending. andy swiss, bbc news, paris. time for a look at the weather. here's tomasz. the prime minister warned the budget will be painful. does that mean austerity 2.0? and after away sis announced that reunion we have dug into the newsnight archives for some of the band's best bits. —— and after oasis announced.
