.uk/ sport and i will have more for you in the next hour. see you then. more now on the chancellor's final budget before brexit. phillip hammond is under pressure to end eight years of austerity after theresa may promised cuts to public spending would end. my colleague vicki young is at westminster. yes a lot of pressure on the chancellor, because of course the prime minister said that austerity is over so what —— not surprisingly from all quarters people are asking for more money for their particular area. local government has already had a promise of £20 billion extra for the nhs but people asking for social care as well saying that more money is needed there had also the issue of universal credit, many, including conservatives on his own side saying that more money is needed to go into their to smooth the transition to a completely new system. philip hammond will be on
1:39 pm
his feet at 330 this afternoon but before then let's speak to the leader of the liberal democrats, sir vince cable. what do you think the flotation before the chancellor given that the premise is that austerity has come to an end? expectations are low due to the uncertainty around brexit, what we are looking for honours are beginning of a grown—up debate on how the end of austerities going to be financed. if we are going to restore real spending, under some of the damage to public services, not just the health commitments but schools and policing, is because a lot of money and this is more taxation, almost certainly, and more public borrowing. we need a proper conversation on how that is great to be done. there will be specific issues and universal credit, and i think a cross—party there is a recognition that this needs to be restored. and something radical
1:40 pm
weeds than about business rates. softwa re weeds than about business rates. software do you think the chancellor should look to pay for extra spending? given that the liberal democrats are part of the coalition government that started these years of austerity trimming back and not giving as much to public services? how should he now regrets that balance? that has been a necessary concern with public finances, and i think we would all agree that we have got to the point of public services must be restored, the cuts come to find many cases. from my view pending brexit, i think peoples vote would be a good start because brexit however that islam is going to damage the economy and tax revenue. “— to damage the economy and tax revenue. —— brexit however it is done is going to damage the economy. this will be done through taxation, not penal taxation but my party has been upfront in arguing for a penny on the pound on income tax in dealing with some of the taxes on
1:41 pm
capital that should be increased. many say that a penny on income tax effect was not particularly well as well. is that a fair way to do it? there is no easy way forward. we have got a point where public services been cut to deeply, there are serious problems with the police force in schools in particular, thomas is on health, we can all agree that there are not a magic money trees or where will the money come from? the government cannot go back to heavy borrowing, we at dangerous levels. it comes back to taxation and then the question is how do we do this in a way that is fair? the government is committed to raising the tax threshold next year then that is something we in the coalition fought for. but if we're going to do giveaways away so where does the money come from? someone will have to pay and i think a successful and mature conversation on that is something that the chancellor has two b wanting today. do you think the chancellor is right
1:42 pm
to talk about balancing the books to try and get down these huge levels of debt that the country still has? that is still rising isn't it? the so—called structural deficit that was the legacy of the financial crisis is gone, and there is room for borrowing to finance capital project, infrastructure, things of this kind. but clearly any government, conservative, labour, with then whoever it got to be careful with the public finances, the debt to gdp ratio is one that the debt to gdp ratio is one that the government watchers, it is regarded as historically very high levels, there is some flexibility in terms of borrowing for infrastructure but that can't be allowed to continue to rise. having proper regard to public finances is absolutely an appropriate role for the chancellor, he has to be careful. when it comes to brexit the chancellor suggested that any commitment he makes in spending terms, that he could unnecessarily
1:43 pm
adhere to if there is no deal. downing street seem to be running back from that saying it is not the case but the chancellor has obviously been very cautious you're looking ahead to, next five months. you write, if there was a no deal from brexit the economic consequences could be utterly disastrous. not just for consequences could be utterly disastrous. notjust for the budget. but any form of brexit is likely to have a negative impact on the economy and government revenue and it is going to make it more difficult for the government to finance public spending in the future. thank you very much. how is the city likely to react? well let's speak now to our business correspondent, jamie robertson, who is at global investment manager schroders. the city are looking at it from the point of view of investors, looking at what the chancellor is going to say and how that is going to invest in the market and there are very
1:44 pm
specific sectors which may be affected. i am joined specific sectors which may be affected. iam joined by specific sectors which may be affected. i am joined by a specific sectors which may be affected. iamjoined bya uk equities fund manager, sue, let's go to the sector is one by one. housing first because that is an area which may get touched this afternoon. first because that is an area which may get touched this afternoonm may get touched this afternoonm may well get touched, it is a clear priority for the government to increase the number of houses built, and we are still under shooting that. we may get something about help to buy scheme extensions, it has been a very successful scheme for both the government and individuals. there may be some tinkering around extending that, the current scheme ends in 2021. it may get extended to 2023. they need to have visibility over what sites to develop and actually get the houses built. as we come to 2021 we don't wa nt to built. as we come to 2021 we don't want to see a coming out of that system. would that be good for the
1:45 pm
share prices to you think?|j system. would that be good for the share prices to you think? i think it is generally priced in so any non—extension would be bad. then elsewhere we have seen a commitment that the conservative party conference for councils to extend their borrowing. to provide more social housing and to build more so we may see a little bit more flesh on the bounce to quantify that amount of spending. what about the retail sector? that could get hit. that is key to the retail sector isn't it? it is, and what we have seenin isn't it? it is, and what we have seen in the press is help really for small retailers but it is only had the smaller end and it is quite a small amount of money, so about £900 million benefit. but rates are a very big cost retailers so individually that could bring quite a lot of relief. so even if there is a lot of relief. so even if there is a leaf on rates that is not going to help signs was mollison is anything
1:46 pm
like that? not at all, so the big quoted retailers on the stock market will not feel any benefit from this. and the gamblers, that is a syntax, a win—win from the chancellor point of view. you tax the more and take more money from the mane one or worry? what hammond is seeking to do with the gaming companies is be revenue neutral, so he has already hit the gaming companies with a reduction in the amount that can be state—run fixed odds betting terminals which is due to come in in the future. and that will hate the treasury revenues, so the measures he is likely to take her to increase taxes on online gaming, which is typically sourced from overseas, and that will mean that the treasury is net neutral, and the gaming company shall be it twice over. is the stock market sitting on the edge of its
1:47 pm
seat? is this an important budget from the point of view of the market? this is an important budget, we're not sitting on the edge of seat, the giveaways will be quite small and it is all about brexit and what else is happening in the global financial markets are becoming time. 20 very much. —— thank you very much. that was jamie at schroders looking ahead to the budget. the chancellor will be on his feet at the 30p.m. and as we have been hearing a lot of pressure on him to come up with the goods. the end austerities how the prime minister put it. i know a lot of people said the chancellor has to show that he agrees with that in means it. 20 billion already for the
1:48 pm
nhs we know about, more money for mental health being talked about, speculation that the defence budget could get a boost and that there might be some help for social care and universal credits is what looks like he is trying to keep everybody happy. we will see if he manages to do so happy. we will see if he manages to dosoa happy. we will see if he manages to do so a little later. coming up on bbc news: what will the budget mean for you? this evening, we'll be joined by financial journalists jasmine birtles and claer barrett, to answer your questions about the chancellor's plans. to get involved you can text your questions to 611211, email to askthis at bbc.co.uk or on twitter using the hashtag bbcaskthis. that's this evening at 8.30 on bbc news. members of the leicester city youth team have arrived at the king power stadium to pay tribute to the five victims of the helicopter crash at the ground on saturday, including the club's owner,
1:49 pm
vichai srivaddhanaprabha. fans have left hundreds of floral tributes and shirts throughout the day. the leicester city first team are due to pay their own respects later today. our sports editor spoke to one of leicester city ‘s heroes from the 19705. leicester city ‘s heroes from the 1970s. he started by asking for thoughts on the wake of the crash. it is obviously been horrendous for our football club. and the community asa our football club. and the community as a whole. it has still not really sunkin as a whole. it has still not really sunk in the football club. i left it on saturday evening after the game and by the time had arrived home i had the reports about an accident but i never thought in a million yea rs but i never thought in a million years would be anything as tragic thatis years would be anything as tragic that is what has happened. what is
1:50 pm
your personal memories of the chairman and owner? what made him so special? brilliant, just a brilliant quy- special? brilliant, just a brilliant guy. ina special? brilliant, just a brilliant guy. in a memberthe special? brilliant, just a brilliant guy. in a member the first day he came to the gates at the training ground, i thought here we go, five—minute wonder. we had just come out of administration and could not even afford to pay the milk bill. we we re even afford to pay the milk bill. we were that desperate. but my goodness how wrong was i? they have been brilliant. we played in the champions league, won the premier league, another team on it in the management and staff one that, but we would never have won that without the backing of the chairman and king power. it is an unbelievable tragic incident that has happened. and for those that don't know, would you mind me asking you to explain the circumstances about your becoming an ambassadorfor the circumstances about your becoming an ambassador for the club for life? and the talent that you faced recently and what he did for you on that occasion. what happened? about 18 months ago i was at an awards
1:51 pm
dinnerand 18 months ago i was at an awards dinner and had 18 months ago i was at an awards dinnerand had a 18 months ago i was at an awards dinner and had a cardiac arrest and died for seven minutes. fortunately because i was in the right place at the right time and i have here today. i think about the chairman and glenn hoddle as well and from our football clubs point of view i wish glenn a speedy recovery. but they were fantastic with me and give me all the time i needed to look that was just the whole family, i just feel so sorry for the vice—chairman, they worked so well together. but as i say the infrastructure of the strip club is all that to them. we are in the process of going into probably a new training facility, over 100 million, probably new extension to the stand as well. so at the moment that will have to be on hold and there are other things that we will
1:52 pm
prioritise. in the immediate care in the match tomorrow has been postponed, where does the club go from here? inevitably fans or worry about what happens now. this will grow. the tribute will grow. it will be around the stadium by the end of the week. what he did it is not of the week. what he did it is not of the football club, in my role here at the football club i have seen him bring millions into local charities and hospitals in the area. it was not just the football club he focused on, it was the wider area, thatis focused on, it was the wider area, that is why he is a lot in the city and county. its being described as a turning point for germany's cdu. chancellor, angela merkel says she won't seek re—election as the christian democrat's chairwoman in december. she's held the role for eighteen years. translation: i have a clearfeeling that it translation: i have a clearfeeling thatitis translation: i have a clearfeeling that it is time to open a new chapter, because we are in today's time, we are rooted in today's time
1:53 pm
andi time, we are rooted in today's time and i would like to tell you my decision first of all in the next party conference in hamburg in december i will not stand again for the office of chair of the cdu. secondly, the fourth of his mandate is my last one as chancellor. i will not stand again in 2021 as chancellor. and not for the bundestag. and for the minutes i will not strive to hold any more political offices. tottenham hotspur will battle it out with manchester city in the premier league tonight, but a hundred years ago the team's players faced a very different kind of fight. 16 lost their lives in world war one and now, ahead of remembrance day, star striker and england captain harry kane has kicked off a campaign to commemorate them. we sent mike bushell to the team training grounds to meet him and find out more. from golden boots to green fingers,
1:54 pm
kane and co digging deep to make sure that football fans never forget. there we are, the england captain has helped kick off this remembrance campaign, digging in the first of hundreds of trees that will be planted by 63 clubs from carlisle to exeter. as soon as the whistle went, these chaps went over the top, you probably heard the expression, he walked over... it is part of a woodland trust campaign to keep alive the memories of football players who fought and died in the first world war. the spurs centre—forward walter tull was one of 16 spurs players lost in battle. he was the first black officer to join the british army and his service is also being commemorated a century on by statues called tommies built by ex—service men and women and produced by the charity remembered, part of their there but not there campaign. it's amazing to think that they were out playing football and then off to the war. they made the ultimate sacrifice for us. great to have days like this to remember them. the sacrifice of people from sporting clubs ranging
1:55 pm
from tottenham hotspur right down to the local football club in any town was quite phenomenal. over 1000 professional footballers served. tottenham hotspur as a club lost 16 individuals during the course of the first world war which is an amazing sacrifice for one club. it is fitting the england captain of today is leading the tributes. his own status has reached new heights this year having led his england teammates to the world cup semis and even now, it still hasn't fully sunk in. it was such an amazing journey. we came back and went straight into the premier league season so i still don't think a lot of us fully understand how mad it was back here. we've had so much misery in the past, we alljust wanted to go and enjoy it. where we were, it was quite quiet and we didn't go out of the hotel much, to be fair. it was so mad, fans from countries all around the world, it was so busy. while kane and his teammates now get ready to face
1:56 pm
manchester city tonight, he's helped ensure the sacrifice of 100 years ago will forever be in north london. more to come. now it's time for a look at the weather. good afternoon, it is a quiet autumn day for us today after a cold and frosty start, many places having blue skies and sunshine through the rest of the day. there have been a few storm clouds and shower clouds coming into some eastern coastal counties of england and eastern scotland, and those will continue on and off throughout the day. a lot of places still dry and elsewhere dry as he had further with a lovely sunshine hazy in western parts of the uk towards northern ireland. temperatures of about eight or 10 degrees. there was clouded towards the north—west, making it hazy
1:57 pm
northern ireland. does not bother us the moment. beachy head you were to europe we have a lot of slow over the pyrenees and this massive cloud hides a deep and rather angry area of low pressure that will bring some very heavy rain today and heavy snowfall for the alps. as it moves northwards and may well prove some damaging winds towards scandinavia. i put that on there because we are on the very edge of that area of low pressure, so i weather could be an awful lot worse. overnight only have to worry about is how cold it is going to get. across the west of the uk this event will be cold as, —2 -3. uk this event will be cold as, —2 —3. some of the frost may lift and we're expecting a lot of clout to push its way in from the north sea with a few drizzly showers. milder than was last night for eastern scotla nd than was last night for eastern scotland and eastern parts of england. this variable pressure has rain around the bandit clips parts of east anglia and the south—east of england but it will be cloudy and windy all day. elsewhere winds will not be a strong, workload today in a
