to liz truss to reverse her recent tax cuts. the metro focuses on keir starmer�*s speech at the labour conference and his plea to voters not to forget the economic turmoil when it comes to the next election. the guardian also goes with starmer�*s speech and his belief that this is a "labour moment" that will see the party returned to power. the mirror is similarly enthusiastic — concentrating on starmer�*s pledge to set up a state—owned energy company. the express avoids both the economic turmoil and the labour conference — urging readers to get flu and covid jabs. while the daily star says nasa scored a bullseye by flying the dart spacecraft into an asteroid. their headline: 180.

welcome back to you both. starting again with the telegraph, if that is ok. the statement by the and have to 0k. the statement by the and have to liz truss enter chancellor, it is pretty rare, isn't it, not for ten years or so, but the wording will make for some uncomfortable reading. yes, the international monetary fund works to stabilise the global economy, and one of its roles is to act as a sort of early warning system of anything that might be going wrong, and they have intervened tonight in a very unusual intervention, i think, intervened tonight in a very unusual intervention, ithink, and intervened tonight in a very unusual intervention, i think, and asking the government to think again about the government to think again about the many budgets that kwasi kwarteng had held on friday, which was essentially billions of pounds of tax cuts funded by borrowing. the imf has said that this is just going to increase inequality between the

richest and poorest. it risks fuelling inflation and has suggested that perhaps in november on november the 23rd when the chancellor has said he is going to issue another financial statement that maybe they would even like to return on the whole package. inevitably, senior torres have reacted with anger to the imf intervention. we have lord frost basically saying, you know, what has it got to do with the imf, ready, the government needs to continue on the course it is now, despite the fact that it's crashing and it is in turmoil. to despite the fact that it's crashing and it is in turmoil.— and it is in turmoil. to issue this statement _ and it is in turmoil. to issue this statement to — and it is in turmoil. to issue this statement to a _ and it is in turmoil. to issue this statement to a g7 _ and it is in turmoil. to issue this statement to a g7 country... - statement to a g7 country... exactly. we've got to bear in mind as well, _ exactly. we've got to bear in mind as well, if— exactly. we've got to bear in mind as well, if this is what they are saying — as well, if this is what they are saying publicly, what kind of messages have been flying around privately— messages have been flying around privately in which they haven't got the answers they were seeking in? in

eye, notjust the imf who are critical of kwasi kwarteng and liz truss. it seems according to the eye that that pn truss. it seems according to the eye that that pm and the chancellor ignore at their own officials who warned of all of this to come and actually suppose it's worth pointing out that this is exactly what rishi sunak warned would happen as well in the final rounds of those leadership debates. ~ , ,., , the final rounds of those leadership debates. , , , �*, debates. absolutely. sobhy she's -- rishi sunak — debates. absolutely. sobhy she's -- rishi sunak warned _ debates. absolutely. sobhy she's -- rishi sunak warned of _ debates. absolutely. sobhy she's -- rishi sunak warned of market - debates. absolutely. sobhy she's -- l rishi sunak warned of market turmoil and apparently senior government officials including her cabinet secretary warned both liz trusts and the chancellor that there was likely to be market turmoil as a result of this many budgets. for the cabinet officials were ignored. but this story also suggests that liz trusts and her chancellor have fallen out and her chancellor have fallen out and there have been tensions now since friday as a result of the pound plunging and liz trusts did not to want her chancellor to put out a statement apparently according

to this story reassuring the markets on monday, the statement did go out, but the story in the eye suggests they receive in a shouting match between liz truss and kwasi kwarteng, which does not bode well, really, for the stability of this government if the prime minister and the chancellor already within just a few days of taking office are at each other�*s threats or don't see eye to eye on this very important issue. .,, , ., ., ,, ., issue. those things often take a few weeks, issue. those things often take a few weeks. months _ issue. those things often take a few weeks, months or— issue. those things often take a few weeks, months or years, _ issue. those things often take a few weeks, months or years, going - issue. those things often take a fewj weeks, months or years, going back weeks, months oryears, going back to that tony blair and gordon brown stuff. what are you hearing, susie, about to kwasi kwarteng? because on paper he is a pretty bright guy, ferociously bright and all the rest of it. the on paper... we all have phd is who are —— we've all met phd these are absolute morons. just a fact that you've got a lot of education and qualifications doesn't make you bright. it doesn't gizre education and qualifications doesn't make you bright. it doesn't give you males commit _ make you bright. it doesn't give you males commit doesn't _ make you bright. it doesn't give you males commit doesn't get _ make you bright. it doesn't give you males commit doesn't get the - make you bright. it doesn't give you |

15% over the next 12 months if we see this interest rate rise which is now predicted to go up to 6.5% by may. and that, you know, this is what is really, really frightening the ordinary person on the tv channels we have been having mortgage 0 and a's all day today with people ringing in with their concerns and their fears and wondering whether they should switch from a variable rate to a fixed rate if they can still get one. lots and lots of providers are now withdrawing their deals. so the times story says that hsb have some suspended new markets deals, another big lender has increased rates on its fixed rate deal up to 5.59%, which is almost double what it was just a few months ago. and it actually looks quite hard at the figures and says if you have got to have £1 million mortgage, this kind of rate rise that has been talked about means that you're going to be

paying £881 more every single month to service your mortgage, and inevitably that is going to the two repossessions and a recession, if all of this comes to pass. i repossessions and a recession, if all of this comes to pass.- all of this comes to pass. i 'ust want to get fl all of this comes to pass. i 'ust want to get this. i all of this comes to pass. i 'ust want to get this. mortgage]- all of this comes to pass. i just i want to get this. mortgage rates have been so low there are a lot of people who just won't remember what happened in the 805, 70s, people who just won't remember what happened in the 805, 705, where intere5t happened in the 805, 705, where interest rates were much, much higher and they've been lulled into some sense of false confidence. do you think that, su5ie? yes. some sense of false confidence. do you think that, susie?— some sense of false confidence. do you think that, susie? yes. we have had these shocks _ you think that, susie? yes. we have had these shocks before, _ you think that, susie? yes. we have had these shocks before, but - you think that, susie? yes. we have had these shocks before, but we - you think that, susie? yes. we have l had these shocks before, but we have strikingly _ had these shocks before, but we have strikingly low rates, but we are not supposed _ strikingly low rates, but we are not supposed to have big shacks. that is still a _ supposed to have big shacks. that is still a shock — supposed to have big shacks. that is still a shock. one of the things, another unintended consequence of this is— another unintended consequence of this is that — another unintended consequence of this is that people who are going to be setting _ this is that people who are going to be selling their homes in the next few months because they have to because — few months because they have to because either they have to move because _ because either they have to move because they have to be located, perhaps — because they have to be located, perhaps they have to sell their home to pay— perhaps they have to sell their home to pay for— perhaps they have to sell their home to pay for their care. they will now not be _ to pay for their care. they will now not be able — to pay for their care. they will now not be able to move and get that 'ob, not be able to move and get that job, they— not be able to move and get that job, they will not have the extra space _ job, they will not have the extra space for— job, they will not have the extra space for the children, they will

course economically, there couldn't be a better time if you are in opposition. be a better time if you are in opposition-— be a better time if you are in opposition. estimates of kier starmer gave _ opposition. estimates of kier starmer gave his _ opposition. estimates of kier starmer gave his keynote - opposition. estimates of kier- starmer gave his keynote speech starmer gave his keynote 5peech today at the labour party conference in liverpool. very much i think that mirror has billed it as starmer�*s message of hope. kier starmer saying that britain is going to get its future back for the first time in a long time, thinking it can get into power. it is on the road back to power. it is on the road back to power in the next general election. that is very much kier starmer�*s message to the troops. announcing a5 message to the troops. announcing as well this state owned energy company which is going to concentrate on green energy, looking at solar, nuclear and so on and calling its search of very patriotic labels, the great british energy future company. and i think all of this is labour positioning itself very much in the centre ground now and saying, look, the tories have completely me55ed

centre ground now and saying, look, the tories have completely messed up on the economy. we are the safe party, we are the party of fiscal prudence, the party that will reverse austerity and we are the party that you need to vote for if you want to get out of this mess, even though i think kier starmer i5 even though i think kier starmer is also signalling that it is going to take quite a while, even if labour is elected in the next election, it will take quite a while to undo some of the stop at the mainstream for the guardian, i know you are at the at the moment.— at the moment. where you struck by -a uni at the moment. where you struck by party unity this _ at the moment. where you struck by party unity this year— at the moment. where you struck by party unity this year compared - at the moment. where you struck by party unity this year compared to - party unity this year compared to what you probably witnessed last year. what you probably witnessed last ear. , ., , , year. they have been in very fine... it's not year. they have been in very fine... it's got to — year. they have been in very fine... it's got to be _ year. they have been in very fine... it's got to be set. _ year. they have been in very fine... it's got to be set. they _ it's got to be set. they can definitely sends power. they know that it definitely sends power. they know thatitis definitely sends power. they know that it is coming their way. i don't envy them, because when they get their hands on power, probably at some point within the next year, i think, they are going to have absolute cast. it is going to be like having to go in and waiting the walls down and starting again from scratch. but they do seem to be hungry for the idea, and they have

got some big bold ideas they are. as sian said, kier starmer talks a lot of centrist middle ground things, he is appealing to that and trying to be as nonthreatening as possible, but the policies he's suggesting, some of them are quite left—wing. some of them are almost a bitjeremy corbyn asked. they are the kind of radical ideas that when i go out and speak to people, tory voters like the sound of, you know, owning their own investment vehicle to invest in the tech of the future and a gigabyte factories, electric batteries, electric cars, solar power is and so on. it's obviously the kind of thing to be an entrepreneurial country, appeals to the rights, to be green and to think about ourfuture appeals the rights, to be green and to think about our future appeals more to the liberals, and so the comfortable middle—class is in this country, it appeals to the young, thejeremy corbyn voters, and it appeals quite a lot to older people as well to say, well, we are going to

nationalise something, we are going to own something and make some money out of it for once rather than selling everything off because we have all come of that three of us, have all come of that three of us, have lived through the period of national assets being sold off and we have seen them all have their profits taken out of the country, whether you think that's right or wrong, they have been taken out, and therefore, we are now all in this situation with the global crisis, and poorerfor it. he is talking to us about the quite radical policies, but he is a decent unassuming compassionate, thoughtful man, and whether you like his politics are not committing there is a lot of people who just want a bit of confession of thoughtfulness to be enter public life and public debate. and just talk about energy which has been weapon iced by russia, going back to the times there, sian, russia accused of sabotaging the gas pipelines. note stream to never opened, but nordstrom one which has been having repair work three

explosions all very suspicious one after the other in the baltic sea. yes. it does all seemed very odd. it's difficult to think, you know, what has caused these explosions other than sabotage and certainly there are now critics saying that russia has sabotaged its own pipelines, essentially, and then when you think why would russia want to do that? there thinking, or the suggestion in this story and the times that security experts are saying, well, look, this is russia signalling what it could do. there is another gas pipeline coming on stream and russia is basically signalling by blowing up these two pipelines that don't have a lot of gas going down them any more that it can do this and it could do this to other pipelines that are coming on and that it could even, you know, disrupt air�*s energy supply even

more than it has already done. but this is it's kind of response to the sanctions in place.— this is it's kind of response to the sanctions in place. sorry, we've got 25 seconds — sanctions in place. sorry, we've got 25 seconds left, _ sanctions in place. sorry, we've got 25 seconds left, i _ sanctions in place. sorry, we've got 25 seconds left, i want _ sanctions in place. sorry, we've got 25 seconds left, i want to _ sanctions in place. sorry, we've got 25 seconds left, i want to indent. 25 seconds left, i want to indent something positive. up in space, bull's—eye, talk to us about that very quickly. bull's-eye, talk to us about that very quickly-— bull's-eye, talk to us about that ve cuickl. ., ., ., , very quickly. nass i managed to stop a rack in space- _ very quickly. nass i managed to stop a rack in space. it _ very quickly. nass i managed to stop a rack in space. it gives _ very quickly. nass i managed to stop a rack in space. it gives kier- a rack in space. it gives kier starmer— a rack in space. it gives kier starmer another chance, anyway. you have done that _ starmer another chance, anyway. you. have done that in 12 seconds. well done. sian, susie can agree to have you on. thank you very much indeed for taking us through that second look at the papers. good evening. i'm mark edwards with your sport. scotland's hopes have been given

a boost after they secured the point they needed for promotion to the top tier of the uefa nations elite. brave defensive display and saw them play a daisy 0—0 drive that will mean a guaranteed 2024 playoff place. 0lly foster was watching this one for us. how they would love to be going to qatar, but krakov was the final thing of 2022 for about 3000 scotland fans. after england were relegated from the top tier in the nation's league, this was the scot�*s chance to replace them among europe's elite. che adams came close to an opener early on. ukraine had a side that snuffed out their world cup ambitions, the captain is one of the scorers that night injune. how did he miss that? injuries and a virus in the camp had severely stretched out scotland's squad and craig gordon had to be at full stretch to keep them in again. ukraine, who were playing home matches in poland because of the war with russia pushed hard for the win that they needed. how that would have

lifted hearts back home. the celebrations at full time where scotland's, though. in theory, life will now be easier for them when it comes to qualification for the next european championship. but as this match demonstrated, they rarely do things easily. 0lly foster, bbc news. northern ireland beaten three have been won by grace. unforgettable nations league. northern ireland beaten three have been won by greece. they avoided relegation after cyprus were heavily beaten by kosovo in the groups of the game. shane did score the end goal for the visitors against greece. euro winners chloe kelly and fran kirby are back in the england squad ahead of the international friendlies against world champions usa and the czech republic next month. the pair missed england's world cup qualifiers through injury last month. west ham defender lucy parker and everton midfielderjessica park, both received call ups for the first time. but there's been no call up

for former captain steph houghton, she's not featured for the lionesses since sarina wiegman was appointed in september last year. i had a conversation with her again and i think she is not ready. also taking the opportunity, so we've already experienced this and bringing in some young players, it's ten months still to go to the world cup. the door is still open. i had conversations with her and i will meet her again at the end of october and we will see where we are at that moment. the everton forward toni duggan is pregnant and will miss the rest of the women's super league season. the 31—year—old who's recently returned to the side has also played for manchester city and barcelona. she revealed the news on social media saying "while my own little team is growing, i'll still be supporting my other one, everton women who have been so supportive." former england midfielder fabian delph has announced his retirement from football.

the 32—year—old won the premier league twice with manchester city and made more than 200 appearances in the top flight with city, leeds united, aston villa, and everton. announcing his retirement on twitter he said he had "nothing but happiness and gratitude for what this beautiful game has given me." the captain of financially stricken rugby union club worcester warriors, ted hill says it is inevitable players will now consider their futures. his comments come in the wake of the suspended premiership club being put into administration. the club failed to provide proof of a credible plan for their future yesterday. the rfu have now banned the men's team from the premiership competition, and the women's side from the premier 155, as well as all youth teams. i think there has to be, sort of, closer looks at people who want to buy clubs, there has to be people who look into that, which i know they do, but it is something that needs to be focused on even more because this isn't something that people

want to happen again, and they want to clubs which are massive parts of the community, as we mentioned earlier. we want them safe and we want them to be able to, you know, be the best they can be. well another club facing an uncertain future wasps have been beaten tonight in the premiership cup by leicester tigers 3817. wasps last week filed notice to appoint administrators but despite troubles off the pitch they led 17—7 after tries by ollie dawkins and 0lly hartley. but sam edwards and archie vanes crossed late to seal the win for the reigning premiership champions. the london irish came from 19 points down to beat northampton 28 to 26 while sale defeated newcastle 29—21. top golfers phil mickelson and ian poulter have dropped out of a lawsuit filed against the pga tour. it's over its decision to suspend players who are participating

for the grand prix. and that's all the sport for now. from me and the rest of the team, bye—bye. hello there. there's been quite an autumnal flavour to our weather story both by day and at nightjust recently. there's more sunshine and showers to come. plenty of rainbows potentially in the sky, but the wind strength will ease through wednesday, still coming from the north, so still a coolish source. now it's this weather front here that could be a key player as we go through wednesday. it's going to enhance some showers in off the north seas. it's these here, they'll gradually drift their way towards newcastle and down to hull area, some of them heavy and thundery. ahead of it, largely fine with some sunshine, a few scattered showers running down through perhaps the west facing coasts of wales and south west england. we will see temperatures struggling for the time of year, still around 13—16 celsius,

and some of these showers could turn heavy and thundery. now, they are likely to drift their way steadily southwards through wednesday night into the early hours of thursday morning. so still there to clear first thing on thursday. but on the whole, this little ridge of high pressure builds and quietens things down for many on thursday. so some early showers clearing south of the m4 corridor. a few showers still coming in off the north sea for northeast england, but generally fine and settling with a little more sunshine and lighter winds. temperatures will be a degree or so higher back to where they should be really for this time of year. however, it's all change into friday. we're likely to see some pretty wet and windy weather. so, useful rain for all of us at some point on friday. ahead of it, it is going to be largely fine and dry, so not a bad start. if you've got plans for outside, get out and do it first thing in the morning. that rain turning into western scotland, northern ireland, northwest england as we go through lunchtime and then gradually drifting its way southeast. so probably not arriving

into east anglia and southeast england until the end of the day. top temperatures of around 17 celsius. now, as we move into the weekend, that weather front could be a bit of a nuisance for some of us. it's going to continue to push its way steadily south and east. and as you can see, we trail it all the way back out into the atlantic. so for central and southern england, we could see some rain persisting for the start of the weekend, but, eventually, sunday will see somewhat drier, brighter and once again, warmer conditions returning. take care.
