the spending pledges and the changes to income tax. picking the best route on page in leeds the day after the budget. and who if anyone is looking forward to those tax cuts the chancellor announced just a day earlier? he promised to leave people with a little more to spend. i am a teacher on £29,000 a year so it will help me about £7 a month, so overall that i think the cost of food and whatever it will probably mean that i'm no better off. i think it's a good thing. you know, the more the low paid don't have to pay before the tax, the better it is. i would rather see it go towards schools, the national health service, all the things we all benefit from because little amounts like that really have very little effect on me, anyway. and i suspect and several others.

the institute for fiscal studies has concurred yesterday's tax cuts with previous government announcements. people earning over £50,000 a year would be on average £156 better off. people earning between £12,500 and £50,000 would gain £21 per year. meeting apprentices in lincolnshire, philip hammond insisted overall with benefit increases, there are people we re benefit increases, there are people were being supported. benefit increases, there are people were being supportedm benefit increases, there are people were being supported. if you look at the whole package of measures we delivered yesterday, notjust the personal income tax cuts but all the other measures, and you analyse how they affect people across the income scale, its people at the bottom end of the income scale that benefit the most. and the analysis clearly shows that. two fascinating figures in today's report, in the year 2000 less tha n today's report, in the year 2000 less than one quarter of all spending on public services went on health. by the year 2024, that

figure will have risen to 40%. in a league table of public spending, all other departments have fallen way behind. the chancellor has used the better borrowing figures to provide more money for hospitals. the iss said he was taking a gamble. the worry for him is that if borrowing goes up him next year, if tax reve nu es goes up him next year, if tax revenues do not come in as expected then what is he going to do? he's painted himself into a corner and cannot and announce the end of austerity, i think what we will see is borrowing ratcheting up. whether its prisons and police or schools, there are calls more money. key areas of public service like schools and police, local government, nothing for local government whatsoever. it's not the end of austerity for them and he said departmental budgets will be protected but some well lost others get bigger cuts. mr hammond will need the economy to perform well, we will need the brexit deal to come

good, if he's to hit his target of ending austerity of the five years. our deputy political editorjoins me now — a day on from the budget, and labour are split on how to respond. that's right fiona. a day after the budget is when something starts to unravel and we heard some questions in the report but labour is falling out with itself overjohn mcdonnell‘s decision to back the budget tax cuts. the most left—wing shadow chancellor in labour's history is being attacked from his own side, if you like, from the left of politics, and new development. it must be giving some cheer perhaps to the chancellor on the tory side one mp said to me the budget would be shouted from the rooftops in marginal constituencies, plastered over leaflets. it's a new dividing line on tax and spend between the main parties. will it help the government on brexit? some mps may

be less inclined to vote against a deal ever is one but from what i've heard hard—line deal ever is one but from what i've heard ha rd—line brexiteers deal ever is one but from what i've heard hard—line brexiteers will still stand against any deal they think is too soft and as for the idea this could be a pre—election budget, well, ever is a deal and it helps the conservatives can you imagine theresa may standing in front of her party and sing that last snap election last year did not go so well, let's try it again. a former cabinet minister said to me that there were 40 man gears between the last two snap elections and he hopes there will be 40 years before the next one, so that gives you the mood. if there is no deal bets are off, maybe theresa may would be one off, maybe theresa may would be one of the first casualties but that speculation and so was the outcome of brexit which is where we all started before the budget. john pienaar, thank you. teachers and parents have reacted with fury to the chancellor's announcement in the budget that schools in england will receive a one—off payment of £400 million to pay for what he called "little extras". england's school leaders have been campaigning for some time for more money, saying they're having to lay off teachers and can't afford to buy essential equipment.

our education editor branwenjeffreys has more. it was meant to be good news from the treasury but calling it cash for "little extras" has dug a bit of a political hole. teachers took to social media with suggestions. a luxury car for the day, a few more glue or glitter sticks. some schools offered to dig potholes. road repairs gotjust as much money. teachers' pay is the largest part of any school budget and this money won't help with those long—term bills, leaving headteachers feeling their concerns have been ignored. it's not good enough for the governmentjust to throw us a few thousand pounds and say, be happy with that. i think they were trying to say that everything is fine in schools and just be content. well, we are not content and it's not good enough. this will mean a little bit of extra cash. around £50,000 for a school like this, but in politics language matters.

use the wrong words and you risk looking out of touch. so what is the situation with school spending in england? between 2000 and 2010, spending per pupil rose by 65%. that's in real terms, taking into account the rising costs. since 2010, it has fallen by 8%. the first fall in four decades, economists say. what is five multiplied by positive route two? schools say they are at the limit of the savings they can make. today the chancellor said this wasn't about long—term funding, just a bit of cash to spend immediately. i hope all schools will be able to spend this money well, just to buy some extra item that perhaps they wouldn't otherwise have been able to buy. i'm not pretending for a moment that this addresses the longer term question of schools funding. we will come to that in the spending review next year and we'll have a discussion, a debate, about how we fund our

schools going forward. an extra £1.3 billion has gone into england's schools since last year, but when the government draws up its next spending plans, schools will be competing with other public services. forensic experts have begun digging up a garden in the west midlands, 32 years after the disappearance of the estate agent suzy lamplugh. she went missing after going to meet a client in fulham, her body has never been found. police are now searching a property which used to belong to the mother of the prime suspect. sima kotecha is there for us. the prime suspect has never stood trial in relation to suzy lamplugh's disappearance, the police must be hoping this is the breakthrough they need after all these years. absolutely fiona, more than three decades ago this story was

front—page news, the missing persons hunter which captivated britain and changed the law. so what happens here is not just changed the law. so what happens here is notjust being watched carefully in the west midlands but being watched very carefully across the country. it was one of the biggest crime stories of the 1980s. the disappearance of estate agent suzy lamplugh. but could this be where her remains are buried? more than three decades on, specialist police officers have been searching the garden of this house in sutton coldfield. it's a really surreal, bizarre world for a normal person who is not used to, the media, to be part of. it's like you've got your own private paparazzi on the door. it once belonged to the mother of the man suspected of killing her, john cannan, already serving a life sentence for the rape and murder of another woman. specialist police officers arrived here first thing this morning after receiving new information. but it is not the first

time they have come here to search the premises. the home owner says they came here 15 years ago, and searched the garden over several months. the estate agent went missing injuly 1986. she left her west london office to meet a client known as mr kipper. detectives began a murder inquiry. eight years later, suzy was officially declared dead. john cannan has always denied having anything to do with her murder. her parents, who have both died, launched a trust in her name to support victims of stalking and violence. it played an instrumental role in the protection from harassment act. we are really hoping that there's going to be some sort of a resolution and our thoughts are predominantly with the family today. police have excavated other sites in the hunt for suzy‘s remains.

this case gripped the attention of the nation. another question is whether a 32—year—old mystery will finally be solved. sima kotecha, bbc news, sutton coldfield. an ex—nurse in germany has admitted that he murdered 100 patients, making him one of the world's most prolific serial killers. niels hogel, who's 41, administered fatal doses of medication to the people in his care at two hospitals in northern germany. his motive, prosecutors say, was to impress colleagues by resuscitating the very patients he'd attacked. people in leicester have been paying tribute to the victims of last weekend's helicopter crash. fans and well—wishers have been queueing up since early this morning to sign a book of condolences for club chairman vichai srivaddhanaprabha and the four other victims. the lawyer for a man accused of murdering two nine—year—old girls in 1986 says the police have spent "32 years building a case against the wrong man" and has instead pointed the finger at the father of one of the girls. former roofer russell bishop

is on trial for the second time for the murders near brighton of karen hadaway and nicola fellows. our correspondent daniela relph reports from the old bailey. the 432 years the murder of karen hadaway and nicola fellows has been an open case. the bodies of the nine—year—old girls were found hidden in wild park in brighton in october 1986. they were good friends, living just three doors away from each other on the nearby estate. russell bishop is the accused, on trial for their murders. but today the defence said the police had been building a case around the wrong man. the qc explained to the jury that there was someone else close to the girls who had no alibi. he told the court... barry fellows is not on trial here

and thejury barry fellows is not on trial here and the jury was told they could not be asked to find him guilty or not guilty. nicola fellows mother, susan, was one of the first witnesses to give evidence at the trial today. she described her daughter as a funny and happy child. but she was asked by the defence if she knew of an allegation that her daughter had been in a sexually explicit video. she told the court she had not been aware of it until the police had told her in 1986. it will ultimately be for the jury of six men and six women to look at the evidence and background to this case which has gone unsolved for so long. our top story this evening. the chancellor is accused of taking a gamble with his budget despite an uncertain economic future. and wayne rooney on his new life living and playing football in the united states capital.

coming up on sportsday on bbc news: sensational simone — biles wins the first of what could be six medals at the gymnastics world championships in doha. team usa claiming gold in the team event. growing demand for cheap food is being linked to a huge loss of wildlife and deforestation across the planet — according to the world wide fund for nature. one such place is the vast cerrado savannah in brazil. deforestation there is being partly blamed on soybean production intended for global consumption. britain imports over 75% of soybeans it uses from all over the world. it's mainly fed to animals — giving us in turn our chicken, pork, milk, cheese and eggs. according to wwf over a two—year period an area of the cerrado — the size of greater london — disappeared every two months.

that's because it was being converted to farmland to grow crops like soybeans. our correspondent adina campbell reports from brazil. it's as ancient and important as its neighbour, the amazon. brazil's cerrado savannah is often overlooked and undervalued. this is one of the world's oldest and most diverse eco—systems, home to thousands of plants and animal species. but as each day passes, they're in danger from this. as fires burn, blighting swathes of vegetation, more and more of this precious land is being wiped out at an alarming rate. leviover levi over there is an example of the problem in the heart of the cerrado.

the land has been deliberately set on fire and there is a good chance it is being cleared for food production in future. legally, 80% of land in brazil is supposed to be for public use. but, as more space is needed to grow soy beans, the law is being ignored. leading to land grabbing on a vast scale. this farming company prides itself on producing soy in a sustainable way, by reducing land that's already been spoiled. valdoni menezes manages the farm. but most farms are not like this. others will obtain land by any means. and that's because countries such as the uk are highly dependent on soy. it is a key ingredient in animal feed, used to produce chicken, pork,

milk, cheese, and eggs. brazilians say the other breadbasket of the world and this is why. these soy beans have come from the land here. this farm alone produces1 million sacks of soya beans every year. one sack is about the equivalent of how much i weigh and in the uk the average person will consume one sack of soy beans every year. but then there is the human cost. families who had their lives ripped apart. for four generations the gomez—lopez family lived off open land in the cerrado. mariene says they were forced to leave. their home burned down and their land sold. what message do you have to people in the uk who benefit from the price they pay for food because of the land and the resources here in cerrado? people and land under pressure,

fuelled by the way our food is produced. they need to know, notjust how their food is being they need to know, notjust how theirfood is being produced but where it comes from. the head of wwf in the uk says there is a solution. chest in this region alone website is produced, cider production could be tripled without cutting down a single tree so let's use the lands we have more responsibly and ensure that we can also feed a growing world population. conservationists say we have ten years to save south america's most valuable savannah, otherwise all this could soon disappear. adina campbell, bbc news, in the cerrado, brazil.

11 people are now known to have died in italy as fierce storms batter the country, leaving roads blocked and thousands without power. in venice, flood waters have risen to near—record levels, a metre and a half above sea level. officials say nearly three—quarters of the city is submerged, and there's been widespread flooding and destruction across the region. president trump is due to land in pittsburgh, to meet the families of victims of the deadly mass shooting at a synagogue on saturday in which 11 people died. the white house has angrily rejected the suggestion that mr trump's rhetoric could be to blame for emboldening racist attacks. but one localjewish group has told the president he is not welcome in pittsburgh. our north america editorjon sopel is there, yet more controversy for president trump... yes, and in the wake of the massacre that took place at the synagogue on

saturday, the president was unequivocal in condemning anti—semitism and said we must combat hate. but it is the language he has used at some of his rallies which is critics say is giving a nod and a wink to white supremacists who then carry out the crimes of hate. the mayor of his city says he will not meet the president and this small people mac — group ofjewish people said that they will not meet him although others say they will be pleased to see him. he will be accompanied by his wife and also his daughter ivanka who converted to the jewish religion when she married her husband jared kushner, also an organised jew. if i turn around, you can see that a number have gathered to conduct prayers, and this has been a day, where, in pittsburgh, three more of the congregants were buried, who were killed in the

shooting on saturday at this synagogue. jon sopel, in pittsburgh, thank you. the duchess of sussex has claimed victory over her husband prince harry in the art of "welly—wanging". the royal couple went head to head in a boot—tossing contest with new zealand schoolchildren, as they approach the end of their 16 day tour of australasia. four months ago england's all—time record goal scorer, wayne rooney, moved to the us and joined the soccer team dc united. since then the club, which was at the bottom of the league, has experienced an extraordinary turnaround and is now in the major league soccer‘s play offs. rooney spoke to our sports correspondent natalie pirks about his new life living in the american capital. this was the moment fans say wayne rooney turned dc united's season around. this is it, our season is done. and then i see the streak going across the field and i am trying to figure out, who is that?|j

just trying to figure out, who is that?” just remember thinking, that's great, he's slow down the play, now our defence can get that, but, hello. e-books the ball back up in the air, and they think, this boy is going to find him. it was the turning point of our season. there is the rebirth of our club. the realised he was not simply in america for a vacation. of course you have people who can pay you to other players who have come here and not done so well, people who make an opinion of you, they had to see a could really play and take my foot off the pedal. he was the spark they needed to go on a major run and reach the play—offs. the total earnings with reportedly around £5 million a year he is the highest paid player in history of the club. share and sales are up, so are his expectations. we won a game, it was

not our best performance, he came in and said it wasn't good enough and we we re and said it wasn't good enough and we were thrown off. it was a nice, little, kick in the nutt, a wake—up call for us. is known for its politics, yet live here has afforded wayne rooney something he has not had in years. the land of the three is living up to its name. the land of the free is living up to its name. i think it's just a bit more relaxing for us as a family. if you want to go to the supermarket or you want to pop out and get a coffee, then it's quite easy to do. at times, in england, it could be a bit difficult. just to be able to walk around and have a bit more space and a bit more time to enjoy with your family is something a bit different to what i'm used to. very different. rooney is now flying economy and sharing hotel rooms. i think it's important that you're part of the team. i wouldn't come in and start demanding things.

i don't see it as a big issue, to be honest. he watched england's world cup run as a fan for the first time since he was a kid. the childlike exuberance and his smile is back. against all odds, trophies could be too. natalie pirks, bbc news, washington. time for a look at the weather... here's darren bett. we had a narrow escape, we saw it early on, all that has been happening in central europe and this sort of cloud here gave the heavy rain and flooding in europe and the heavy snowfall, and the same area of low pressure that drove that has been sitting just used the uk, and it brought some rain along those eastern coast, so it wasn't far away. it has left a us with a cloudy, breezy day across norfolk, and this was the way the day ended, quite dramatic fare. different looking skies to the way we finished the day in devon where it has been

beautifully sunny all day and the skies are clear, temperatures falling away quickly. overnight that rain and the showers in the east get pushed away as the low pressure moves towards scandinavia and we start seeing more cloud coming into the west, bringing outbreaks of rain, so the frost may be in different places tonight, central and eastern scotland, the midlands, perhaps into yeast wales as well and temperatures will be easily lower than those numbers that you can see in towns and cities. in rural areas it will be a bit colder, in the west we have more cloud this time and there will be showery outbreaks affecting northern ireland and west of scotla nd affecting northern ireland and west of scotland tomorrow, the son of showers moving up from the south—west, moving up into cumbria and south—west scotland. for many eastern areas, the midlands and east wales a lovely day. we will be treated the sunshine on halloween and thurston bridges will be higher as well, 12 or 13 degrees because instead of an easterly we have more ofa instead of an easterly we have more of a southerly breeze. some rain is coming up from the near continent,

though, the two combine to bring rain across eastern england on thursday. that will hang around all day across east anglia and the south—east, not good. but elsewhere in north—westerly breeze brings in cooler, fresh air, jenna reid dry and sunny away from the showers in the far north—west. towards the end of the week we need to look out into the atlantic. this big area of low pressure contains the remnants of x hurricane oscar. that will drive is increasingly wet and windy weather our we later on friday for the start of the weekend. something to look forward to, thank you! that's all, keep up with the latest on the news channel. and on bbc one we nowjoin the bbc‘s news teams where you are. hello, this is bbc news. the headlines... there's criticism of the budget from the think tank the institute

for fiscal studies. it says the chancellor is gambling with the public finances and his tax cuts will mainly benefit higher earners. police investigating the murder of london estate agent suzy lamplugh, who went missing more than 30 years ago, have spent the day searching the garden of a house in sutton coldfield. a former nurse admits to a german court that he administered fatal doses of medication to 100 patients in his care. niels hoegel is one of the world's most prolific serial killers. elephants, tigers and koalas are affected by an average 60% fall in wildlife populations since 1970. conservation charity wwf blames human overuse of natural resources. in a moment it will be time for sportsday but first a look at what else is coming up this evening on bbc news.

in beyond 100 days, we'll have live coverage of president trump's visit to pittsburgh after the synagogue shooting, in which 11 people were killed. at 8pm we'll have the latest analysis on the budget, and focusing on whether schools were given their fair share, after the chancellor said he wanted to fund the "little extras". and at 10:40pm and 11:30pm, we'll be taking a look
