why would leeds be a good place? leeds is the best town in britain! and if eurovision does return to yorkshire, hopefully this time, the tv coverage will find something more interesting to say about the region. sir terry: of course, in this area is the home of ici fibres. - crimple house, from . which comes crimplene. colin paterson, bbc news, leeds. time for a look at the weather — here's sarah keith—lucas. before we get onto the uk, let me take you to what is happening in the philippines. this typhoon has been moving its way across, strengthening in the south china sea so it has brought destruction across the philippines but will be heading towards vietnam over the next few

days so a significant storm surge, flooding rainfall and damaging winds. it's not the only tropical cyclone we are watching because herrick and ian is strengthening in the caribbean, pushing towards western cuba during tomorrow and potentially heading closer to florida, making landfall by thursday. both these storms had the potential for flooding thursday. both these storms had the potentialforflooding rainfall, damaging winds and a significant storm surge so very active at the moment towards the tropics. closer to home in the uk, its typically autumnal. the wind has been whipping up autumnal. the wind has been whipping up the waves, big shower cards around and the next few days, we stick with that theme. call for the time of year, blustery winds and plenty of showers. we have high pressure at the moment sitting in the atlantic, an area of low pressure approaching from the north—east, squeezing the ice of that combination is drawing in north—westerly winds. following the arrows, they come from iceland and

the arctic so that's why it feels colder at the moment. for the rest of today, sunny spells in blustery showers, you see them coming in on the north—westerly winds, augustine close to 50 miles an hour, inland gusting to 30 miles an hour, temperatures between ten and i7 temperatures between ten and 17 degrees but feeling colder what you are exposed to the brisk winds. this evening and overnight we keep clear spells and plenty of showers. most frequent in the north of scotland, turning windy tonight, gale force winds developing. coldest conditions tomorrow, four or 5 degrees in the east, in the west it's double figures so a frost restarted tomorrow, low pressure not far away so it's driving in more showers and again, it's windy across the north of scotland. almost anywhere can catch a shower, less frequent than today and the wind not quite as strong and only about 10—17 were

significant wind chill. things look wider through the middle of the week. still some showers around on wednesday, some sunshine and feeling less windy by the time we get to wednesday but the temperatures are still not great for this time of year. a reminder of our top story... the value of the pound has recovered slightly after it plunged to a record low against the dollar. pound sterling was $1 at one stage but is now at $1 that's all from the bbc news at one — so it's goodbye from me — and on bbc one, we nowjoin the bbc�*s news teams where you are. good afternoon. ahead of the world

markets are signalling they expect the bank of england to raise interest rates further as a response to sterling's fall, with investors predicting interest rates could exceed 6% next year, sending the cost of borrowing and mortgages soaring. the mini—budget announced on friday has been billed as a gamble to boost growth but has seen a run on sterling. just over 30 years ago there was a similar run on sterling as the uk was forced out of the european exchange rate mechanism in what became known as black wednesday. we spoke to lord clarke, who as a cabinet minister on the day and later became chancellor, about why the markets are reacting this way. i won't start predicting them now, but i'm not surprised, because the almost universaljudgment on the first acts of the government in the first budget they've produced is that it's a gamble.

that's become the cliche word already. to those who are used to the economic policy of conservative government up to now, it was a surprising gamble for him to take and he will be put at risk slightly a reputation for being competent and safe with the money, which i think is one of the backbones of the conservative appeal for some time. the risk to the public finances has been taken in this budget and is bound to have an impact on the markets. the government is going to have to borrow an extraordinary amount of money when we are already historically very high level of debt indeed. the creditors, who will be expecting, presumably, to buy our bonds if we do go out to raise that money, they look as though they are expecting a high return, because they don't have great confidence

in the british economy for the next year or two, so it may sort itself out, it may be an instant reaction, it may be rebounding, but i think the bank of england which has got slightly left behind in tackling the hyper, the very high inflation we have, is going to have to not perhaps immediately, but keep its foot down with further interest rate rises in order to restore confidence in fiscal discipline in this country. to restore economic discipline in this country, that's what the bank of england is going to do, that rather implies you think the government can't do that. the government can, but the government has just had a budget which doesn't appear to take a much more relaxed view of borrowing, printing money. for political aims,

which tends to get all governments into the risk of some sort of financial crisis. the markets do respond to that and you can't ignore the markets. it isn'tjust a problem for the city. if the pound falls below parity with the dollar, it will make our imports much more expensive and feed into what is becoming the underlying inflation in a recession. i think i personally agree with the bank, i think we will turn out to already be in a recession and i am concerned myself that we could be in for a long, quite severe recession and responding to make sure we don't have further devaluation of the currency will be quite an important part of that, and the bank is going to have to play the critical role, i think, because i can't see the government suddenly reversing these measures. we've also been hearing from labour

on this. rachel read has set out her vision and said that labour is on the side of ordinary families. minn; the side of ordinary families. why should m the side of ordinary families. teeny should my constituency, the side of ordinary families. twig should my constituency, why the side of ordinary families. ign'iy should my constituency, why should people in merseyside, paper tax cuts for those who are already the wealthiest? that's not what anyone voted for. it's between our economy and danger and, conference, voted for. it's between our economy and dangerand, conference, labour will fight it every step of the way. conference, let me tell you what i. i believe that hard work should be met with fear reward. i believe that strong public services are the backbone of any decent society. i believe that inequality divides and holds us back as a country. conference, i believe that the task of building a fairer society as a

moral responsibility and more than that, it is the route to a stronger economy. the truth is, at the heart of labours plans for growth, today i want to tell you why. last april, on a cold spring evening, i knocked on the door of a constituent. when i reached out to shake her hand, it was purple and freezing cold. already back then, she was afraid to put the heating on. struggling to get by on the small pension she had built up through a lifetime of work. as energy bills and inflation rise even higher, i often think of her. conference, that is the stark reality facing people all around our country today. and while the prime minister spent months denying the need for action on energy prices, labour was calling for a freeze on

the energy price, labour was calling for an end to the premium paid by families with prepayment metres, and crucially labour was calling for a windfall tax on the unimaginable profits being made by the oil and gas companies. because a proper windfall tax would mean that working people don't have to foot the bill. but the prime minister is content to let energy giants pocket the cash and leave your children and your grandchildren to pick up the tab. under these tories, those with the broadest shoulders carried the latest load. and not by accident, but by choice. conference, it is time for a government that is on your side and that government is a labour government. not like the

shadow chancellor that the labour party conference in liverpool. a look at the headline now on bbc news. the pound sterling plunged overnight. but has bounced back. giorgia meloni is set to become the first far right leader in italy since the second world war and the first female prime minister. nasa is preparing to crash a space probe into an asteroid. to find out how hard it would be to save the planet. now time for the stories making the headlines from across the uk.

bouquets of flowers to honour the queen will be one of the lasting memories in london. hundreds of people travelled to the park to leave floral tributes. today work has been done to move them where they will be used as compost at kensington palace. it's all been donein kensington palace. it's all been done in a traditional way. the shire horses here were part of the batman jubilee celebrations. today they are here in green park for yet another royal duty. this time they are part of a process to turn these floral tributes left by people as tribute to the queen to play a part in the process of turning them into helping new life to flourish. to explain what i mean, we can speak to park manager at st james's park. thank you forjoining

us. just explain what's going to happen to these worries here. all of the green waste in the royal parks tends to get composted, shredded and then composted and reused in our flower beds and shrub beds across royal parks. it’s flower beds and shrub beds across royal pam-— royal parks. it's a huge volunteer effort, royal parks. it's a huge volunteer effort. what _ royal parks. it's a huge volunteer effort, what are _ royal parks. it's a huge volunteer effort, what are they _ royal parks. it's a huge volunteer effort, what are they doing? - royal parks. it's a huge volunteer effort, what are they doing? we l effort, what are they doing? , requested people effort, what are they doing? a requested people to take the flowers out of their wrappings and that really has been a success. it will have been able to see the flowers, read the cards, but more than that, it has been really successful. we've had so many members of the public helping us remove the wrappings as well. so all the volunteers in the royal parks charity helping remove the elastic bands, everything not biodegradable or recyclable so that we can shred and compost all of the green waste organically. it we can shred and compost all of the green waste organically.— green waste organically. it really is rather fitting, _ green waste organically. it really is rather fitting, isn't _ green waste organically. it really is rather fitting, isn't it, - green waste organically. it really is rather fitting, isn't it, that - is ratherfitting, isn't it, that these flowers, these tributes left after the queen step to honour her life will now be used to help

generate new life. as we heard in the sports bulletin... worcester warriors has until five o'clock today to give the sport's governing body a number of financial guarantees or face suspension from the premiership. the club is struggling with debts of around £25 million and faces going into administration. 0ur sports reporter dan pallet is at the sixways stadium for us this lunchtime. dan, what's the latest? well, is a strange afternoon here. it looks as though saturday's game here against newcastle will be their last in the premiership. they have this deadline to prove to the rugby football union they can fulfil their fixtures. the last two home games have only been on at the very last minute and only three staff working very long hours without pay to get the game on and the crowd was limited the stand behind me, the east stand, because they only got a

safety certificate for that part of the ground. the deadlines are for two things, to prove to the rugby football union they have the funds for the rest of the season, that seems increasingly unlikely. £25 million the club owes including £6 million the club owes including £6 million to the inland revenue. also perhaps more practically, there is a 5pm deadline for public liability insurance. the staff have been told they have until liz30pm to clear out any personal belongings because they would be allowed in the stadium after that. the players themselves have been given a week off because of that deadline for public liability insurance they can't even trade even if they want to. it looks like the match on saturday to gloucester would go ahead, likewise the one after that. there are two potentially interested parties that would take over the club if it goes into administration. they would have to deal with that enormous debt, but we don't really know what will happen until that deadline expires this afternoon. the season at the

moment looks pretty unlikely. we just don't know. thank you very much indeed. doncaster sheffield airport will close later this year. its owners, peel group, said earlier this summer that the airport is no longer viable, and today they've confirmed that aviation services will start winding down from the 31st of october. tom ingalljoins me now. it would seem so. a little bit of history first of all. doncaster sheffield is a fairly new airport in the north of england opened on the old filling the air base closed in 1996. the airport got up and running in 2005 and initially called itself a robin hood airport and in that still survives to this day, although in much smaller print. the airport has had its ups and downs like all regional airports of the last few years. particularly badly hit by the pandemic, although it did manage to

do a good trade at bringing in freight particularly ppe from overbroad to be distributed. the group said the airport was not financially viable. since then those been a lot of discussion with public authorities, the elected mayor and his office on friday put together a financial lifeline package saying essentially here is the money for this airport keep going for another 12 to 30 months during which time we have discussions with the consortium we have waiting in the wings to come and either by the airport and take it over or have some sort of longer term future as an airport. they rejected that same without the details of this it would be irresponsible of us to accept public money and they want to start winding down aviation activity on the site from the 31st of october. we understand from discussions with the liberal chamber of commerce and the union that's around 800 jobs affected. the gmb union we spoke to

this morning understandably quite angry about the plans to close the site. we've got hundreds of people that work in the different companies within that airport. i've had discussions today with members and stewards on site, and they are absolutely devastated. and angry. angry that offer of public money was not... well, it hasn't even been considered. let's look at some of the reaction we've had coming in. enough people work now to support a 7a7 in flight. the mere says, the fact they have chosen to turn down the offer confirms what many of us expected, they were never serious about finding an alternative and safeguarding the future of the airport. the department for transport says, we strongly encourage local leaders and the appeal group to work together to find a solution for the site that

will benefit local people and the regions economy. there may well be people watching those flight is already booked into the future. to me are the main operator from the site and they said to us, other sites continue to operate as planned until the last flight on the 4th of november 2022, doncaster customers will be contacted in the coming weeks to outline alternatives. mid options, transfer to another airport or a full refund for their holiday booking. it's primarily a holiday airport all whizz air were offering regular commuter flights to poland. the future for this extremely long runway which stands so ready to serve now looks very uncertain. thank you very much indeed, tom. reservoir levels might be struggling at the moment, but that didn't stop 800 people gathering for a big swim. it's not for the faint—hearted. for
