the guardian's front page carries a warning from the bank of england that the economy is already in recession. whereas the telegraph reports that the chancellor will warn the bank of england to "get grip on inflation" ahead of the mini budget tomorrow. the daily express has a different take on the story. focussing on plans to cut taxes to boost growth. the mirror and the daily star also leads on the war in ukraine but they focus on russian�*s trying to flee the country. so, let's begin. focusing on russia's, russia's young men trying to flee from russia due to the military fallout and focusing on the involvement in freeing those five british prisoners. in the 15—year—old schoolboy who has been killed in huddersfield. let's begin

11:36 pm
financial health of the government started to promise on that emptiness time of september for the queen died before parliament could start scrutinising that, so called bullet economic plan and so, papers, whether it is the telegraph or the daily mail talks about turbo growth and all the tax giveaways to the chancellor and announced tomorrow, another big question is how big is this barbering going to be? spending cuts and where are they going to fall at a time when liz truss is very clear wanting to increase defence and talk about the nhs and we get this policy blitz whether it is on fracking, the nhs or big tax giveaways for people who need to know very quickly after the seven
11:37 pm
week hiatus of the conservative hustings, then the two weeks of the morning for the late queen, queen elizabeth ii, it can't come too soon and clarity is what is needed and it is clear that trade unions, train drivers and staff who've already announced the first eight the 5th of october, massive strikes are noted all happy with with her being proposed or how they're going to pay their bills and i think that is true for the great majority of households that have been waiting since the beginning of the summer to know how to pay for these bills thatjust keep on getting bigger. to pay for these bills that 'ust keep on getting bigger. looking at what the chancellor _ keep on getting bigger. looking at what the chancellor may _ keep on getting bigger. looking at what the chancellor may or - keep on getting bigger. looking at what the chancellor may or may i keep on getting bigger. looking at. what the chancellor may or may not say in his statement tomorrow in this fiscal event and the mail, the biggest tax cuts in 30 years,! and on the new approach of the era and
11:38 pm
growth plans and 30 measures to drive down taxation, technical high energy bills and curb inflation which includes cutting duty in the national insurance rates and maybe even a rabbit out of the hat announcement with one pay cut in the basic rate of income tax next year. this is what liz truss promised in her leadership campaign. yes this is what liz truss promised in her leadership campaign. yes and it is a bold gamble _ her leadership campaign. yes and it is a bold gamble although _ her leadership campaign. yes and it is a bold gamble although it - her leadership campaign. yes and it is a bold gamble although it is - is a bold gamble although it is not a budget, — is a bold gamble although it is not a budget, it's going to be something more _ a budget, it's going to be something more spectacular than many budgets have been in terms of the scale but a lot of— have been in terms of the scale but a lot of economists are saying that's— a lot of economists are saying that's not going to work in its reckless _ that's not going to work in its reckless because as they said, borrowing _ reckless because as they said, borrowing and releasing and unleashing all of this barbering to pay for— unleashing all of this barbering to pay for these tax cuts at a time or interest— pay for these tax cuts at a time or interest rates are going up and becoming more difficult to manage the cost _ becoming more difficult to manage the cost of borrowing is going up as
11:39 pm
a result— the cost of borrowing is going up as a result of— the cost of borrowing is going up as a result of that and so, there's lot scepticism — a result of that and so, there's lot scepticism and her answer to that is to say— scepticism and her answer to that is to say that — scepticism and her answer to that is to say that is preaching the orthodox and it's a big bullet gamble — orthodox and it's a big bullet gamble ever going to be seeing in the tub— gamble ever going to be seeing in the tub it— gamble ever going to be seeing in the tub it works for everybody seek because _ the tub it works for everybody seek because we don't want the country to because we don't want the country to be less— because we don't want the country to be less successful and whether it does _ be less successful and whether it does or— be less successful and whether it does or not, the test will come in the months — does or not, the test will come in the months and indeed years to come, i the months and indeed years to come, i suppose _ the months and indeed years to come, i su ose. , , the months and indeed years to come, isu--ose. , ,., the months and indeed years to come, isu--ose. , _, . i suppose. give us a french perspective _ i suppose. give us a french perspective on _ i suppose. give us a french perspective on this - i suppose. give us a french - perspective on this however the french dealing with their economic problems in terms of taxation, interest rates and so on? basically come or the _ interest rates and so on? basically come or the fundamental- interest rates and so on? basically i come or the fundamental differences is that the french government really quickly announced the cap on energy prices and that is made of a big difference now and that will be continued and clearly the prices are still terribly high in france, like
11:40 pm
the uk and other countries and france underlined earlier on, it's more dependent on russian gas than the united kingdom as i think the united kingdom is only four or 5% dependent on it and clearly, that is something that dependents is really important to wean ourselves off of it and there is concern for the coming months and as we know, the french political scene is rather fractious as a result of the last parliamentary election. so, he does have a difficult balancing act to have a difficult balancing act to have and of course, inflation is not as high in the united kingdom and the united kingdom survey close to 10% and france closer to 7% and all this makes a difference and whether it is french, german for the whole of the eu in the western world is hurting very much because it is
11:41 pm
clear that fresh is very much will be nice, the rain but also the fuel prices and that is put a very significant problem in that for the post—pandemic world and the supply chains that were disrupted means there was real difficulties and increases in all kinds of prices and what we do not talk about enough, is all those companies that are going to go to the war because of others' interest rates, they will be able to pay their mortgages and that clarity cannot come soon enough. let's change subject completely and talk about iran because this is a fascinating situation where we have seen protests riots around iran because of what happened this young woman who is 22 years old was held
11:42 pm
by the morality police for not wearing the traditional headscarf and died in custody and that has sparked these protests and in around 80 cities according to the daily express. the striking the reaction to this with a horrific thing that is happened to this young woman theyr is happened to this young woman they claim that she — is happened to this young woman they claim that she died of a sudden heart _ claim that she died of a sudden heart failure which is a tragedy but obviously— heart failure which is a tragedy but obviously seems to be complete nonsense — obviously seems to be complete nonsense and the explanation seems to be nonsense and the explanation seems to he that _ nonsense and the explanation seems to be that she was eating reports of her having — to be that she was eating reports of her having her head banged against the door— her having her head banged against the door of the van but she was being _ the door of the van but she was being taken into and she's clearly appears _ being taken into and she's clearly appears to— being taken into and she's clearly appears to have been killed and lots of running _ appears to have been killed and lots of running people clearly think that in protesting it and there protesting it enables women to start off with _ protesting it enables women to start off with and men joined protesting it enables women to start off with and menjoined in protesting it enables women to start off with and men joined in as well. and this _

11:45 pm
that to vote for un resolution condemning then, president trump's decision. and the general assembly speaking to the israeli pm has said that they are seriously thinking about this move and i think it will worry many and there has been an agreement that this would not be done until this was agreed between israelis and palestinians and so yes, she wants to deepen ties between israel and the united kingdom and interesting of the analysis of the times as they say this is part of liz truss wanting to side with fellow democracies and she seesit side with fellow democracies and she sees it as a global battle between democracy and dictatorship and she is determined to build a network of liberty with the likes of india,
11:46 pm
indonesia and south africa so, she sees israel as a crucial part of that in standing up to russia, china and to iran. but i think this going to be a move that is going to be problematic. will she go ahead with it? it looks like she's determined to. ~ will see what happens with that one and finally, the metro. back from death row. not often we have good news from ukraine but these are five britons were facing execution after being captured in ukraine. thanking the rescuers as they were reunited with their families and i suppose for theirfamilies, with their families and i suppose fortheirfamilies, possiblya with their families and i suppose for theirfamilies, possibly a day they feared they would never see. for a good news for the five people concerned — for a good news for the five people concerned and their families because they do— concerned and their families because they do look pretty bleak as two of them _ they do look pretty bleak as two of them up _ they do look pretty bleak as two of them up and sentenced to death and others are _ them up and sentenced to death and others are facing potentially the same _ others are facing potentially the same prospect in our horrendous and must've _ same prospect in our horrendous and must've been for everybody involved in that _ must've been for everybody involved in that and _
