good morning and welcome to bbc news _ a leading think tank is warning that households could see their tax rise by several thousand pounds over the next five years. it follows chancellor rishi sunak�*s budget in which he announced a £150 billion spending spree over three years. an average of £3,000 a year more in taxes will be paid by households by 2026, according to the living standards think tank, the resolution foundation, after analysing the chancellor's numbers. the foundation also calculates that three quarters of households on universal credit will be worse off. the economic research institute, the ifs, says it supsects that with an ageing population taxes would not be coming down. the chief secretary to the treasury, simon clarke, has spoken of a "philosophical shift" in conservatism, and says he makes "no apologies" for investing more in public services to stimulate growth evenly across the uk.
9:03 am
our political correspondent, chris mason, has this report. any budget is a delicate mix of ingredients. first comes the chancellor's address to the commons. then it's a selling job. here we go. taxes on alcohol are being simplified... cheers! ..so a trip to a brewery was in order. to rishi! and the chancellor is out and about again this morning in what is so often a crucial time after any budget — the day after — as people start to plough through the budget documents to ferret out the details that weren't mentioned in the speech. the obr says you've raised more tax this year than any chancellor since 1993. are you happy to have that title?
9:04 am
no, and i acknowledged it. yesterday during the budget, and i was very clear about it. i'm not... i'm not happy about that and i'm not comfortable about it _ but it is the result of the country and the economy suffering - an economic shock, the likes i of which we haven't seen in 300 years, and our response to that. to help get the country through it. a plan which — as we saw yesterday — has really worked. _ here are the key things we learnt. the economy is doing better than some thought, and the government's going to spend the extra money that it raises in taxes. prices are going up — and are likely to for some time. the recent cut in universal credit won't be reversed, but workers who get it will be able to keep more of it as they earn more. and there'll be a 50%
9:05 am
discount in business rates in england for the retail, hospitality and leisure sectors — starting next year. if you look at the cost of living — which is a real challenge for families and pensioners around the country right now — if you look at the tax system, which burdens working people and gives a tax cut to bankers, or if you look at economic growth — that, by the end of this parliament, is set tojust be 1.3% — it's certainly not the sort of budget i would have delivered. the chancellor got some really good news for the public finances yesterday. lower borrowing because the economy's doing slightly better than we all thought six months ago — that's really good news — but good news for public finances, wasn't good news household finances because higher inflation that actually helped the chancellor with his borrowing figures is obviously hurting household budgets and that's why the office for budget responsibility expects household incomes — and, actually, wages — to actually not grow at all next year, so that's really bad news for everyone worrying about their own budgets. and the analysis is onlyjust beginning. chris mason, bbc news, at westminster. our chief political correspondent adam fleming joins
9:06 am
us from westminster. very good morning to you, adam. as chris says, the analysis onlyjust beginning, but i wanted to talk to about the politics, if i may. we heard the chief secretary to the treasury acknowledging this budget was a philosophical shift for the conservative party. what is your take on the politics of it? the short-term — take on the politics of it? the short-term politics _ take on the politics of it? tue: short—term politics started take on the politics of it? tte: short—term politics started this morning where you have labour saying the government has made the wrong priorities, so reducing the taxation on prosecco and air passenger duty for domestic flights, example, and reducing quite complicated tax that banks pay. rachel reeves, the shadow chancellor, says that would have been better focused on cutting that for domestic fuel to help people with a cost of living, so this morning the chancellor is having to defend what he has done on the cost of living because also the think tanks like the resolution foundation and the institute for fiscal studies
9:07 am
would churn through the documents overnight and provide analysis next morning a kind ofjoining in that argument as well, and rishi sunak is pointing to the £2 billion he is putting into universal credit, the £1 billion the fuel duty freeze will cost the treasury and also a few other measures, but i think the debate over the next few days and weeks and actually the next few months, because inflation will stay quite high for quite a long time, will be about, has the government done enough to help people with a cost of living? the government will obviously say yes, the opposition and some of these think tanks will say, probably not. but interesting, adam, that— say, probably not. but interesting, adam, that this _ say, probably not. but interesting, adam, that this is _ say, probably not. but interesting, adam, that this is the _ say, probably not. but interesting, adam, that this is the kind - say, probably not. but interesting, adam, that this is the kind of - say, probably not. but interesting, adam, that this is the kind of big l adam, that this is the kind of big spending budget one might really have expected from a labour chancellor rather than a conservative one, and i wondered, in your view doesn't make it more difficult for labour to respond? it difficult for labour to respond? tit is interesting, these caricatures about what kind of party spent as much, because one of the figures out yesterday from the office for budget responsibility is that the increase
9:08 am
in taxes rishi sunak has done this year is the biggest increase in taxes in go since i conservative chancellor in the 90s, so i'm not sure the caricature is always quite match up —— since a conservative chancellor. what borisjohnson and rishi sunak are doing is taking over a lot of labour territory, spending a lot of labour territory, spending a lot of labour territory, spending a lot on public services and increasing the tax burden, but you can see that is a little uncomfortable for some conservative mps which is why in the same breath rishi sunak has to say, oh, even though i have put taxes up massively, i would like to cut them massively, i would like to cut them massively, in time with the next election. ,., ., massively, in time with the next election. ., ., ,, ., election. good to talk to you, as alwa s, election. good to talk to you, as always. adam — election. good to talk to you, as always, adam fleming, - election. good to talk to you, as always, adam fleming, a - election. good to talk to you, as always, adam fleming, a cheap| always, adam fleming, a cheap political correspondant there. you heard adam mention the resolution foundation. i am delighted to say we can talk to lindsayjudge from the resolution foundation. rishi sunak has said he wants to lower taxes and the longer term but is it realistic to say that we can

9:21 am
magical letters. you can rely on bas to do this and that, and that the ship is following in that tradition. as we have been hearing, science is of increasing importance. it was science in the antarctic which warned the world of the whole in the ozone layer back in 1985. —— hole. british scientists were closely involved in that revelation. the remarkable thing, when considering that, is to remember that it only took two years for the world to take notice of the warning that the hole in the ozone layer was damaging the entire globe. for the nations of the
9:22 am
world, they took action, and that saved the world from major damage coming from the skies. but it was only tonight —— two years after that in montreal that that agreement was reached. we all know now the magnitude of the dangers facing us in the immediate future. would it not be marvellous to suppose that, as a consequence of our discoveries and science's discoveries, that the nations of the world joined together and actually did something at cop in this coming conference. let's see what it does. but i hope to goodness it takes action, that the nations of the world in the light of the scientific discoveries, that the

ship will undoubtedly be making, that nations got together and listened to the science of what has to be done if the world is not to be overcome... i am to be done if the world is not to be overcome... iam indeed proud man to be standing on this remarkable vessel. to be associated in any way with bas, the british antarctic survey. may i wish this ship and all who sail in her and all the scientists who research on board bon voyage on its forthcoming voyage to the antarctic? i know that the findings made on the ship in the next few years will be of the greatest value and importance to the welfare of the world. let us listen

to the science. bon voyage. applause applause a compassionate speech there by sir david attenborough. i should put that into a bit of context for you because we did come to it rather quickly, didn't we? basically he has been talking about the uk's new polar research ship, the rrs sir david attenborough, which is in london preparing to leave for her first expedition to the antarctic in a few weeks. she is in greenwich for a few weeks. she is in greenwich for a few weeks. she is in greenwich for a few days ahead of the journey, and thatis a few days ahead of the journey, and that is to allow the public to see her, but also to mark the start of the cop26 climate conference, and in that context people around the world are saying that they want their governments to take strong action on climate change. that is according to a new poll commissioned by the bbc. ahead of the opening of the cop26 climate summit in glasgow on sunday,
9:25 am
more than 30,000 people were surveyed — across 31 countries — about their attitudes to climate change policies. more than half, 56%, say they want their governments to play a key leadership role. that's an increase on a similar poll conducted five years ago. with more details on this, i'm joined by our environment correspondent, matt mcgrath. tell us more about what the survey has found. ., ., ~' tell us more about what the survey has found. ., ., ~ ., , has found. you would think that is not necessarily _ has found. you would think that is not necessarily a _ has found. you would think that is not necessarily a huge _ has found. you would think that is not necessarily a huge majority, i has found. you would think that is i not necessarily a huge majority, the percentage saying they want action from the _ percentage saying they want action from the governments, but to put in context _ from the governments, but to put in context this — from the governments, but to put in context this was carried out before the paris _ context this was carried out before the paris climate talks back in 2016 six years _ the paris climate talks back in 2016 six years ago —— another survey was carried _ six years ago —— another survey was carried out — six years ago —— another survey was carried out. the difference between then and _ carried out. the difference between then and now is quite remarkable. people _ then and now is quite remarkable. people looking for strong action from _ people looking for strong action from their government, strong leadership, has increased by 25% over that — leadership, has increased by 25% over that time. it has increased in a lot— over that time. it has increased in a lot of— over that time. it has increased in a lot of interesting countries, in india _ a lot of interesting countries, in india and — a lot of interesting countries, in india and china. in china back in 2015— india and china. in china back in 2015 only— india and china. in china back in 2015 only 18% of people wanted to

9:38 am
expected rates to be lower than what we found that we found that 44% had ptsd and 39% had depression. that was surprising. the other surprising finding was the trauma associated with ptsd to significant proportion of the health care workers related to coronavirus trauma, and a higher proportion of health care workers related to trauma before the pandemic, but it was difficult to deal with during the pandemic, most likely due to the high demands of working with pandemic working. you artiall working with pandemic working. you partially answered the question i wanted to ask you. perhaps you could elaborate a match as to why you think the rates are so high? element there are a number of contributing factors to the high rates. but we have discovered with this study is there a high rates of personal and occupational trauma in health workers. this is notjust difficult events we might see on the job, but

9:43 am
injected with dangerous substances that have left some victims unconscious. women seem to be thought of as the lesser kind of gene, and we are definitely not, so to spike a woman in their drink or inject them is just absolutely disgusting. new figures revealed 56 incidents of spiking by injection were recorded by police in the uk in september and october, and 198 reports of drink spiking — the majority of victims female. many young women say they'd feel safer if nightclubs and bars had tighter security. i go to some clubs and they will check underneath my phone case and they will check my pockets and my bag, and other clubs, they just don�*t. and actually i would rather you were taking my phone case off and looking inside and see if there�*s some funny things being brought in. it makes me feel safer. student unions across the country have been providing alternative places to go. there's things like board games, hot drinks, and it's a place for them to come and meet other

9:45 am
say they believe the weapon used by the actor alec baldwin contained a live round. mr baldwin had been told the weapon was safe. reports have now emerged about safety concerns on set in the days before halyna hutchins was killed. sophie long reports. it is now nearly a week since 42—year—old halyna hutchins was shot dead while she was doing herjob. these are the last pictures of the cinematographer alive on the set of rust. she's in the blue coat and headphones. you can see alec baldwin beyond the camera. he was holding the gun that fired the shot that killed halyna and severely injured directorjoel souza. we believe that we have in our possession the firearm that was fired by mr baldwin. the actual lead projectile that was fired has been recovered from the shoulder of mr souza. we regard this specific spent casing and recovered projectile to be the live round that was fired
9:46 am
from the revolver by mr baldwin. when alec baldwin was handed the weapon by assistant director dave halls, he was told it was safe — what's called a cold gun. the person responsible forfirearms on the set was the armourer — 24—year—old hannah gutierrez—reed. she's admitted ammunition was not secure, but says she checked the guns and found no live rounds. all three are cooperating fully with the investigation. all options are on the table at this point. i'm not commenting on charges — whether they will be filed or not, or on whom. so the answer is, we cannot answer that question yet until we complete a more thorough investigation. the tragedy has left hollywood grieving, and reignited the debate about whether real guns and ammunition should ever be allowed on film sets under any circumstances. sophie long, bbc news. well, earlier in the hour we heard from sir david attenborough
9:47 am
on board the new polar research ship named after him. it's due to set sail for its maiden voyage to antarctica in the coming days. the vessel is currently being displayed on the river thames. our science correspondent, rebecca morelle, has been on board. it's the most advanced polar ship ever to set sail. named after sir david attenborough, it tookjust four years to build. now it's getting ready for its first voyage to antarctica. seeing the ship amongst the ice, it will be absolutely remarkable. and it's something we are all really looking forward to. working in the antarctic, sometimes you might think you get used to it, but every time it still amazes us. this is a state—of—the—art research ship, and here on the top deck is the helipad so scientists and the crew can be brought
9:48 am
to and from the ship while she's at sea. in here, you have the living quarters — a cosy cabin for two — because the crew on here can stay on board for two months at a time. there's room for 30 crew and 60 scientists on the ship. and this is the all—important coffee shop — where, after a hard day of polar research, the crew can come in and take a bit of a break. this big hole in the middle of the ship goes all the way from the sea up to here. it's called a moon pool, and it means that scientists can access the ocean with their instruments, whatever the weather. the moon pool is really significant because it means we can get these really valuable data points. the southern ocean is one of these places that we don't have very many observations from because it's so difficult to get there. and the southern ocean might feel really far away from us here in the uk, but it's really important for our climate as a whole. it takes up a lot of the carbon dioxide and the heat that we put into the atmosphere. it's notjust the water — scientists will be studying every aspect of this rapidly changing ecosystem, from the animals that live there to the creatures they feed on and the nature
9:49 am
of the ice itself. this ship will transform our understanding of the poles. the beauty of this ship is that we can bring lots of scientists from different diverse disciplines together on the same ship with lots of brilliant state—of—the—art facilities for each of those groups. so we can bring biologists, chemists, geologists, physicists all together. and that's really important when we're addressing issues around the environment. and, of course, you can't come on board without mentioning boaty mcboatface. it's what the public voted to call the ship. but instead, the's been given to this — a mini submarine — and soon it's going to be heading off to explore the antarctic ocean. the sir david attenborough will head off in a few weeks, stopping at the falklands on the way to antarctica. and the man it's named after has recorded a special message for when it sets sail. david attenborough: your attention, please. any personnel on board not sailing with the vessel, please disembark.
