the prime minister, liz truss, has been speaking to the media about the economy for the first time since her government's tax—cutting mini budget. she's defended her strategy, saying decisive action had to be taken, and the measures were needed to get the economy moving. however she conceded that growth wouldn't come immediately. her comments came as the former governor of the bank of england, mark carney, criticised the way the government promised big tax cuts, without giving any costings or economic forecasts. mr carney accused the treasury of "undercutting" the country's financial institutions. the value of the pound has plunged since the chancellor kwasi kwarteng's announcement on friday.

yesterday, the bank of england intervened to calm the turmoil by buying government debt, saying it would buy £65 billion of government bonds. the prime minister said her priority was making sure the government supported people through our difficult winter and she said it wasn'tjust britain that is facing difficulties, she said there were global issues and in terms of the criticism levelled at the mini budget on friday she said there will

always be people who oppose a particular measure, including the former governor of the bank of england, mark carney and the imf has also expressed concern. but she said this is the right plan we have set out so sticking to her guns on the budget and backing the chancellor. we hope to bring those comments very shortly. let mejust we hope to bring those comments very shortly. let me just fine out if we have them ready for you. not quite yet, apologies, we will bring them very soon. let's go to our political correspondent. the prime minister at sticking to her guns saying that her plan in spite of the criticism that has been levelled at it since last friday. has been levelled at it since last frida . ,, ., , , has been levelled at it since last frida . ,, . , , ., friday. quite a punishing morning schedule for _ friday. quite a punishing morning schedule for liz _ friday. quite a punishing morning schedule for liz truss _ friday. quite a punishing morning schedule for liz truss today - schedule for liz truss today speaking to each of our local different radio stations in quick

succession all at firing off different questions and concerns from the listeners with this is the first time she has been interviewed this week since the announcement of the mini budget on friday so you can expect there were lots of different questions for her but as you say her approach is very much a defiant one in the face of criticism being levelled at the announcements made. she is sticking to her guns and wants to defend the plans and wants to refocus attention away from those tax cuts that have been announced and the turmoil in the markets and wanted to focus attention on support for energy bills that the government has promised but i think it is fair to say most of the concern is not around the energy bill support package and more to do with the tax cuts and the political decision to prioritise those at this point but i think it is very interesting considering what we have heard in terms of concern from the tory party itself that liz truss is absolutely

sticking to this course and the timetable of events so another two months also until we get more details of how the government plans to pay for those spending cuts and she wants to press ahead with that timetable and announcing those reforms in the coming weeks so quite an interesting defiant tone from liz truss albeit in a series of quite difficult interviews with our colleagues on local radio. that delay until _ colleagues on local radio. that delay until november - colleagues on local radio. that delay until november 23, before we hear more details on how the government plans to pay for all of this and we get those independent forecast on government plans. how will that play within the conservative party itself? there are --eole conservative party itself? there are peeple already _ conservative party itself? there are people already calling _ conservative party itself? there are people already calling on _ conservative party itself? there are people already calling on the - conservative party itself? there are people already calling on the office | people already calling on the office for budget responsibility forecast to be brought forward, which the government is rejecting. but the

want the forecast brought forward because they're likely to tell people how likely the government is to meeting the growth targets and aspirations they say the tax cuts will generate and if there is a gap between what the independent forecasters predict and the government says the government will have to make up that gap in another way i look through more borrowing art through spending cuts and i think that is also some unease about what is coming down the track. you had the treasury confirm departments are being asked to make efficiency savings and there is sticking to the spending review as outlined last year and not updating it to take account of rising inflation. they are already questioning whether benefits will go up in line with inflation as promised by the previous government so you get a sense of what could be coming down the track and i think that is what concerned some conservative mps. the other aspect of the growth strategy we want to announce, supply and planning reforms and deregulation

measures around and measures around stimulating immigration, these will be politically unpalatable so wide of the government use up lots of political capital in promising to scrap the 45p tax bracket and scrap the cap on bankers bonuses? there is a lot of unease about what is coming down the track but you can see very clearly this morning the message from the prime minister, this is the first time she has spoken since the budget was announced on friday, the message from her loud and clear as this is a difficult course but we need to do it, it will stimulate growth, even if that does not happen overnight. growth, even if that does not happen overniaht. . ~ , ., growth, even if that does not happen overniaht. . ~' , ., , growth, even if that does not happen overniaht. . ~' ,. , . overnight. thank you very much. these comments _ overnight. thank you very much. these comments this _ overnight. thank you very much. these comments this morning i overnight. thank you very much. i these comments this morning from overnight. thank you very much. - these comments this morning from liz truss her first since the announcements on friday, the mini budget of the fiscal statement as the government told it. she has been reiterating her warning the uk and the world are facing very difficult economic times. here's what she had

to say when speaking to bbc radio leeds and bbc radio kent. we had to take decisive action to help people through this winter and next winter. i understand families are struggling with theirfuel bills. i understand families are struggling with their fuel bills. and we had to take urgent action to get our economy growing, get britain moving and also deal with inflation. and of course, that means taking controversial and difficult decisions. but i am prepared to do that as a prime minister because what is important to me is that we get our economy moving, we make sure people are able to get through this winter, and we are prepared to do what it takes to make that happen. what it has done as it has made sure that people and businesses will be paying lower taxes. it has opened up new road projects, new infrastructure projects, which will mean we can get on with doing the things that will help people, whether getting to work, setting up

their own business and growing the economy, and what it has done is make sure that businesses and people are protected from these very high fuel bills this winter. we are here because of the appalling war in ukraine from vladimir putin that has pushed up global energy prices and governments and under pressure around the world and that is why it is important as government took urgent action and within a week of becoming a minister i took urgent action on the energy bills and we have taken urgent action through our fiscal statement and we will continue to make sure we are on the side of people who work hard, who do the right thing and making sure people are not for singles very, very high energy cost. i think we have to remember what situation this country was facing. we were going into the winter with people expected

to face fuel bills of up to £6,000 and she is rates of inflation and also slowing economic growth. —— huge rates of inflation. we have taken action to make sure from this weekend people will not be paying a typical fuel bill of more than £2500 notjust this year but typical fuel bill of more than £2500 not just this year but also typical fuel bill of more than £2500 notjust this year but also next year. that will curb inflation. you are making _ year. that will curb inflation. you are making inflation work with the measures you brought in on friday with a mini budget. people are worried about their mortgages and tearing their hair out over pensions. i have so many messages. this will curb inflation up to 5% and we are also taking action this winter and the action we have taken on and she is expected to curb inflation by up to 5% and we are also taking action to grow the economy because we were facing an economic slowdown. we have to remember why that is. it is because of vladimir putin is appalling war

whether to step in. he raises three issues, firstly this was a partial budget with headline grabbing tax cut measures but nothing to balance it out such is the wider supply—side reforms the government is promising, policies and planning and city deregulation and visas and child care, all things that would help to grow growth while cutting it at the same time. then he says it is not had any independent analysis from the budget office for budget responsibility. he says it is important to have open expert scrutiny. important to have open expert scrutin . ~ . . ., ., scrutiny. according to the government _ scrutiny. according to the government this - scrutiny. according to the government this morning j scrutiny. according to the - government this morning everyone will have to wait two months to get that, november23 will have to wait two months to get that, november 23 and they will not bring that scrutiny, that forecast forward. fix. bring that scrutiny, that forecast forward. �* ~ , ., bring that scrutiny, that forecast forward. �* ~ ., forward. a week is a long time in olitics, forward. a week is a long time in politics. a _ forward. a week is a long time in politics. a day — forward. a week is a long time in politics. a day is _ forward. a week is a long time in politics, a day is a _ forward. a week is a long time in politics, a day is a long _ forward. a week is a long time in politics, a day is a long time i forward. a week is a long time in politics, a day is a long time and | politics, a day is a long time and two months seems like years away. pointed comments from him and that sort of thing. there has been a suggestion and some quarters the

government lacks experience in those matters to those comments from the previous governor very interesting. third, his criticism that policies appear not only to be working at cross purposes with the bank that actually undercutting them. he says i think it is important the bank of england can take decisions on the right time frames on the suggestion as they are on the back foot being bounced into decisions they made me want to sit down and take more time over. let's listen to him now. the messaue over. let's listen to him now. the message of— over. let's listen to him now. the message of financial markets is there _ message of financial markets is there is— message of financial markets is there is a — message of financial markets is there is a limit to unfunded spending and unfunded tax cuts in this environment and the price of those _ this environment and the price of those is — this environment and the price of those is much higher borrowing costs for the _ those is much higher borrowing costs for the government and for mortgage holders— for the government and for mortgage holders and borrowers up and down the country — holders and borrowers up and down the country. and at some point those

and food people will additionally struggle with mortgage. another correspondence as the prime minister and her government are economically illiterate and these are mickey mouse economics and she picked up interest rates by 2% of right and we didn't have economic crisis until then. do keep your views coming into me on twitter. let me know how this economic turmoil is having an impact on you and i will try to redact as many comments as i can. —— try to read out. joining me now is fran boait, director of positive money — a uk based advocacy group which promotes reforms of central banks and alternative monetary policy. i want to get your action to what mark carney, former governor of the bank of england, has said about the mini budget. i5

rates, millions of households already seriously struggling with the cost of living, this situation will make things worse. the other important point is this government has no mandate for what it is doing. it is going against what the public wants in terms of good public services, progressive taxation. so of course they will get criticised universally from all sides of the political spectrum and all sides of the globe and we are hearing from central bankers and others this week. i central bankers and others this week. , , , ., , . week. i guess people will reflect erha -s week. i guess people will reflect perhaps that _ week. i guess people will reflect perhaps that within _ week. i guess people will reflect perhaps that within the - perhaps that within the parliamentary party at the conservative party, a majority of mps wanted rishi sunak, who would not have taken the approach that liz truss has taken. you have said she

is in denial. have you heard anything from her to steady the nerves? mike not really. it doesn't seem she is taking the situation seriously and honestly from our perspective what matters is perspective what matters 3 households, how we will get through the winter and also next year in terms of fast increasing household debt and prices going up because the pound is falling and the cost of imports increasing, mortgage rates rising. imports increasing, mortgage rates risinu. ., , imports increasing, mortgage rates risin. ., , , imports increasing, mortgage rates risinu. ., , ., rising. you say she is not taking it seriously. — rising. you say she is not taking it seriously. how — rising. you say she is not taking it seriously, how do _ rising. you say she is not taking it seriously, how do you _ rising. you say she is not taking it seriously, how do you think i rising. you say she is not taking it seriously, how do you think she . rising. you say she is not taking it seriously, how do you think she is taking it was to mark she seriously, how do you think she is taking it was to marl— taking it was to mark she is doubling — taking it was to mark she is doubling down _ taking it was to mark she is doubling down on _ taking it was to mark she is doubling down on the i taking it was to mark she is i doubling down on the budget are taking it was to mark she is - doubling down on the budget are not saying there was anything wrong with it are not talking about getting the office for budget responsibility to publish its forecasts. if she was reckoning with what was going on it she would be making those statements potentially thinking about shifting the budget sooner and thinking may be about a new chancellor and new approach. i don't think she seemed

quite realise the bank of england is going to emergency mode because of that crisis in confidence and the knock—on impact on households. what was most concerning is hearing her trying to divert the conversation saying they have done the energy support. some of that has been critical but not enough and rather than these absolute huge tax cuts for the wealthiest she could have been using that money to make things easierfor been using that money to make things easier for households that are struggling the most. obviously the cost of energy is still going up and with the pound crushing it will go higher and higher as will the cost of food. —— crashing. the bank of england is going on to its mandate of protecting financial stability is buying the government time but unless they get to grips with what is happening and what could potentially happen in the mortgage market in terms of financial

stability for the uk, things could get a lot worse. we will bring you updates throughout the day. hurricane ian has been battering the us state of florida with powerful winds and a huge storm surge that has flooded communities along the south—west coast. governor ron de santis has said the hurricane would rank as one of the five strongest ever to strike florida and there would be damage throughout the state. more than two million homes and businesses are without electricity. azadeh moshiri has this report. good afternoon, everyone. we are coming on the air because hurricane ian is about to make landfall on florida's south—west coast. ian has made landfall around fort myers. . the hurricane has made landfall

of the hurricane and realising florida is not the only place ian has in its cross hairs. azadeh moshiri, bbc news. the grammy award—winning us rapper coolio has died in los angeles. the legendary entertainer, whose real name is artis leon iveer, was 59 years old. coolio was an up—and—comer in the late 1980s who rocketed to fame with gangsta's paradise, which he recorded for the soundtrack to the film dangerous minds. an official cause of death has not yet been released. peter bowes reports from los angeles. music: gangsta's paradise. coolio, one of the biggest and most recognisable names in rap music. born in the state of pennsylvania, artis leon iveer moved to the la suburb of compton when he was a boy. it was there that his music career flourished. # been spendin' most their lives livin' in a gangsta's paradise. gangsta's paradise was a huge hit in 1995. it featured in the film

it is time for sports news, let's head to the bbc sport centre and join mike. how are you? yes, good thank you. good morning. fans of lower league football clubs could this winter have to get used to lunchtime kick offs rather than the traditonal three o clock start time. it's because, keeping the floodlights off, rather than switching them on, is just one of the ideas, on the agenda of a meeting of english football league clubs today, as they try and come up with a plan to deal, with rising energy costs. one of the ideas up for discussion is moving kick off times earlier, to help save energy. jane dougall reports. so this is where we turn our on for main pitch. so this is where we turn our on for main pitch-— main pitch. didcot town is a semiprofessional _ main pitch. didcot town is a semiprofessional club i main pitch. didcot town is a semiprofessional club in i semiprofessional club in oxfordshire. they struggled to survive during a pandemic and now floodlight costs are crippling the club. having an earlier kick—off would help considerably. fiur club. having an earlier kick-off would help considerably. our average earl bill would help considerably. our average yearly bill worked _ would help considerably. our average yearly bill worked out _

would help considerably. our average yearly bill worked out at _ would help considerably. our average yearly bill worked out at £1200 i would help considerably. our average yearly bill worked out at £1200 per i yearly bill worked out at £1200 per month. but now, we are going to be paying just over £5,500 a month. if we could change our times from three o'clock to maybe 1.30 or two o'clock, i think at the end of the diet should be changed as a mandatory thing. diet should be changed as a mandato thin. ., . , ., ., mandatory thing. northampton town in leaaue 2 is mandatory thing. northampton town in league 2 is also — mandatory thing. northampton town in league 2 is also feeling _ mandatory thing. northampton town in league 2 is also feeling the _ mandatory thing. northampton town in league 2 is also feeling the pinch. i league 2 is also feeling the pinch. it is one of the afl club is expected to discuss the cost of living crisis and the fan led review at a meeting today. some of their supporters say they would be happy to pay more if it helped.— to pay more if it helped. prices would have _ to pay more if it helped. prices would have to _ to pay more if it helped. prices would have to go _ to pay more if it helped. prices would have to go up _ to pay more if it helped. prices would have to go up a - to pay more if it helped. prices i would have to go up a reasonable amount before i would start to have to think about would i be able to go to think about would i be able to go to football or not? for to think about would i be able to go to football or not?— to football or not? for me it would be about budgeting _ to football or not? for me it would be about budgeting and _ to football or not? for me it would be about budgeting and perhaps i be about budgeting and perhaps working — be about budgeting and perhaps working out where i can afford to make _ working out where i can afford to make that — working out where i can afford to make that sacrifice to come and obviously — make that sacrifice to come and obviously support the club i love. even _ obviously support the club i love. even as— obviously support the club i love. even as football club like mk dons, nerves are jangling. energy bills are currently £2 million a year. the chairman can't help but worry about the inevitable rise in costs. we chairman can't help but worry about the inevitable rise in costs.- the inevitable rise in costs. we are doinu the inevitable rise in costs. we are doing absolutely _ the inevitable rise in costs. we are doing absolutely everything - the inevitable rise in costs. we are doing absolutely everything we i the inevitable rise in costs. we are| doing absolutely everything we can to look at the absolute basics and

thatis, to look at the absolute basics and that is, don't use the power. so everything that can be turned off, we are turning off. bill everything that can be turned off, we are turning off.— we are turning off. all sports club will benefit _ we are turning off. all sports club will benefit from _ we are turning off. all sports club will benefit from the _ we are turning off. all sports club will benefit from the government| will benefit from the government energy bill relief scheme which fixes prices for six months but many wonder if that will be enough to keep the lights on for their local team. in the women's super league, defending champions chelsea came from behind to beat west ham by 3—1. chelsea recovered from going a goal, down thanks to goals from fran kirkby and sam kerr, before defender millie bright headed in her first wsl goal for two years to guide chelsea, to their second league win of the new season. arsenal are through to the group stage, of the women's champions league after a goalfrom vivianne miedema. it helped them beat ajax, 1—0 in amsterdam, securing a 3—2 agggregate win. rangers won't be joining them though. benfica beat them 2—1 after extra time and 5—3 on

aggregate. england have lost their latest match, in their t—20 series in pakistan. with the help of mark wood's bowling, the tourists made sure pakistan were all out for 145 after 19 overs. so it looked promising for england. however, having failed to chase down 167, in game four, england's batters couldn't capitalise on a modest target again. they needed just 15 runs from the last over, but some fine bowling from pakistan debutant, aamirjamal, ensured the hosts won by six runs ahead of game six on friday. the t20 world cup is less than a month away. when you are playing international cricket, there is pressure all the time. pressure on your performance as a captain, all these kind of things, and it would be great to see how we react in the next two games and we know we have to play well against a very good pakistan team. i know they get a lot of criticism but they are a very good team. britain's cameron norrie is into the last eight of the korea open. he beat kaichi uchida

6—2, 6—2 in seoul. norrie is the number two seed and will face american jenson brooksby in the quarterfinals tomorrow. that is all the sport for now, back to mike, thank you very much. let's get more on our main news, the difficulties in the economy and the financial markets at the moment. liz truss has been defending the government's tax cutting mini—budget this morning, the day after the bank of england moved to intervene in the financial markets. let's talk to the shadow chief secretary to the treasury, labour's pat mcfadden. we can talk about the rising interest rates and what it means for renters and landlords. joining me is ben beadle, the chief executive of the national residential landlords association. what is your reaction to what liz truss said today on whether your reaction has changed since friday's mini budget. your initial thoughts on that budget and where you are

now. ~ ., ., ., ., i. now. well, good morning to you. i think now is _ now. well, good morning to you. i think now is the _ now. well, good morning to you. i think now is the time _ now. well, good morning to you. i think now is the time for _ now. well, good morning to you. i think now is the time for cool i think now is the time for cool heads, really. ilisten think now is the time for cool heads, really. i listen to what the prime minister had to save us that we don't want kneejerk reactions. she has been put in place on a low growth tax ticket and i think broadly it's the right thing to do. i think in terms of mortgages and the costs and all of the things that we are worried about, it's really important to remember that a big chunk of properties are actually owned outright in the uk. dyers have been stress tested since 2014 against things like this and 90% of mortgages remain still available but it is the impact of the increased costs which will really affect things further.— costs which will really affect thins further. �* .., , . costs which will really affect thinasfurther. �* , . , things further. because we have been told b the things further. because we have been told by the government _ things further. because we have been told by the government this - things further. because we have been told by the government this morning | told by the government this morning that they are not going to give anyone those independent forecasts on their plans until november 23. now if you are one of the landlords you represent was going to the bank to borrow some money to buy a property, you would have to demonstrate, wouldn't you, how you would make those payments? so why

isn't the government doing that and doing it now? that isn't the government doing that and doing it now?— doing it now? that is a very good ruestion doing it now? that is a very good question and _ doing it now? that is a very good question and i — doing it now? that is a very good question and i think _ doing it now? that is a very goodj question and i think transparency doing it now? that is a very good i question and i think transparency at this time is probably the best approach. i'm sure that they've embarked on this plan with some figures behind them. one hopes. and i can't think it would be a bad idea to show them now because actually what the industry needs is confidence and certainty. and when we don't have confidence and certainty, you know, it causes worry. so we are worried about people that are thinking or in the process of buying at the moment that i may be getting cold feet and we are also thinking about our members, who are going to likely incur additional costs and the impact it could have on renters. so additional costs and the impact it could have on renters.— could have on renters. so yes, absolutely. — could have on renters. so yes, absolutely. i — could have on renters. so yes, absolutely, i want _ could have on renters. so yes, absolutely, i want to _ could have on renters. so yes, absolutely, i want to come i could have on renters. so yes, absolutely, i want to come on| could have on renters. so yes, i absolutely, i want to come on that now. the potential impact on people who rent property from the members of your association. you say you want confidence and certainty but if you don't have that, what impact is that going to have on rents, are

they going up mark and i think it is really important to note that rents are actually falling in real terms well below inflation. in the year to august, the office for national statistics say that rents have gone up statistics say that rents have gone up by 3.4%. that is significantly lower than social housing rentss, which was 4.1% in april. so what that means is landlords are doing what they normally do and we saw it during covid. they are really trying to help their tenants out, they are trying to absorb as many of the costs as possible but we have a difference between in tenancy rent increases in properties that come to the market and have the rents reset and that is underpinned by a significant supply crisis in the sector... if rent is being reset and there is a significant supply crisis, we have to assume they are going up and we have to factor in that renters, they have wages in real terms are going down. so do the

members of your association, do they have a duty or give any undertaking to tenants about protections around the rate of rents?— the rate of rents? well, what we know is that _ the rate of rents? well, what we know is that in _ the rate of rents? well, what we know is that in tenancy - the rate of rents? well, what we j know is that in tenancy increases are actually not few and far between but two thirds of landlords typically don't increase their rents during the tenancy. but what we are seeing at the moment is notjust the impact that government taxation is having on the sector but things like materials and it is from the ons, materials and it is from the ons, materials and it is from the ons, materials and maintenance up 14%. carpets and flooring is 8%. white goods on an average of 12% and repairing household items, 8%. if you add that to the decisions the government took a few years ago, which is to limit landlords a ability to offset their finance costs, that is why we are seeing what we're seeing. you know, landlords have nowhere to go with this and this is a deliberate political decision to try and cool

the market but i'm afraid it's the wrong one. what i hope the prime minister will do is look at the private rented sector and reverse the section 24 tax changes that george osborne brought in on a phased basis four years ago because all that has happened is that the sector has shrunk by 260,000 homes and it is becoming increasingly difficult for renters to a property at at an appropriate rate.- difficult for renters to a property at at an appropriate rate. thank you ve much at at an appropriate rate. thank you very much for— at at an appropriate rate. thank you very much forjoining _ at at an appropriate rate. thank you very much forjoining us _ at at an appropriate rate. thank you very much forjoining us today, i very much forjoining us today, chief executive of the national residential landlords association. we are going to get reaction now from labour injust a moment. let me briefly first of all bring you some comments from you. paul hunter says can we stop with the hysteria, the real villains of the piece are the financial markets. then this from mark, i personally would like to as the pm and chancellor what they are going to spend their extra five k on, like my £180 be swallowed up by

food and information alone. sharon says that there is if they don't put up says that there is if they don't put up legacy benefits, people like me who are medically unfit to work won't survive. it is a struggle to live now, food has doubled in price and i cannot afford to top my metres up and i cannot afford to top my metres up so no heating or hot water. living on one meal now, says sharon. and data from another viewer saying listening to liz truss this morning on local radio this morning was surreal. the doubling down on her decisions and defending the tax cuts for the rich just shows decisions and defending the tax cuts for the richjust shows how disconnected from reality she is. dave evans, the last one, i'm a mortgage broker, i rushed through a remortgage on monday. 300 k with payments previously 950, up to 1370 before the increases yesterday. now 1650. liz truss says inflation will be 5% lower. she is clueless, so the vast majority of the comments coming

into me this morning are pretty critical of the prime minister and the chancellor and their announcement on friday. one saying that the financial markets are the villain of the piece. if you think about the prime minister and government is doing is a good idea, of course we want to hear from you as well but so far, not a scientific survey admittedly but that is what people are saying to me this morning. let's talk now to their shadow chief secretary to the treasury, labour�* pat mcfadden foster good morning and thank you forjoining us today. does this feel like a bit of an open goal for labour? this feel like a bit of an open goal for labour?— this feel like a bit of an open goal for labour? ~ �* ., ., for labour? well, i'm more worried about the impact _ for labour? well, i'm more worried about the impact on _ for labour? well, i'm more worried about the impact on the _ for labour? well, i'm more worried about the impact on the country. i about the impact on the country. this was a reckless act of choice, which has wreaked havoc in financial markets, beginning with a sharp drop in the value of the pound, which makes our imports more expensive. then going into the mortgage market, which you have been discussing, where hundreds of products have been withdrawn and the price of others

has increased sharply. and yesterday, we had the extraordinary intervention from the bank of england to stop major pension funds from going off a cliff. so the recklessness of the government�*s announcements on friday have unleashed chaos in the financial markets and it is really important now that we try to get some stability back into those markets and in the longer term, restore the economic credibility of the country because what�*s happened in recent days has been very, very damaging and many people will be particularly worried about how they are going to afford new mortgage payments if they are coming off a two year or five year deal anytime soon. the government insists and liz truss did this, she did eight interviews this morning on bbc local radio over the course of an hour and she said it was time to do something different to take bold action, to really grow the economy. now clearly

this is a turbulent time but do you think there is the potential to come out to the other side of this with growth? out to the other side of this with urowth? ~ ., , growth? well, growth is the right ruestion growth? well, growth is the right question and _ growth? well, growth is the right question and it _ growth? well, growth is the right question and it is _ growth? well, growth is the right question and it is one _ growth? well, growth is the right question and it is one we - growth? well, growth is the right question and it is one we have i growth? well, growth is the right i question and it is one we have been posing but when i listen to the chancellor on friday and when i listened to the prime minister today talking about doubling down and sticking with it, you have to ask, in the face of what�*s happened, what is more important here, the prime minister and the chance saving face or saving the mortgage payments of millions of people across the country? this is going to have a real and damaging impact, where payments could go up hundreds or thousands of pounds per year. so they�*ve got to reconsider this. they have to pause and think about what they have done. this is, unlike previous financial crises which have been a consequence of global events, there was self—imposed. it was an active choice by the prime minister and the chancellor to do this and it�*s thoroughly irresponsible to go

around the radio studios today and to say we will double down. because all that will mean is that she�*s asking the rest of the country to pay the consequences their mistakes. labour and other parties have asked for a recall of parliament to discuss this. we�*ve been told this morning by the government that they are sticking with that november the 23rd date before we hear what any independent forecasts of their plans will be. what can labour do at the moment to try to... you are clearly unhappy with this, to try and affect change, if you have to wait until november the 23rd for the obr report, if parliament isn�*t recalled from motion recess, what else are you going to do?— you going to do? well, the obr re ort you going to do? well, the obr report and _ you going to do? well, the obr report and the _ you going to do? well, the obr report and the publication i you going to do? well, the obr report and the publication of i you going to do? well, the obr i report and the publication of some independent assessment of what they�*ve done is really important because it speaks to this issue of institutional stability. britain has traditionally been regarded as a

good and safe home for investments, but when you have ministers who the first act they do is to fire the permanent secretary at the treasury, they then enter a policy field where they then enter a policy field where they are at direct opposite ends on they are at direct opposite ends on the bank of england and forcing the bank of england to raise mortgage rates and interest rates higher than they would have done and you won�*t even allow your own independent office for budget responsibility to produce a verdict on the all this, that sends out a terrible signal of uncertainty, to investors who can choose many different countries of where they want to invest. and they are asking, is britain still the good and safe bet that it has been in the past? and the actions of the government are calling that into question, and that is why what they are doing is so irresponsible. what�*s really important now is to restore stability to the markets in

the short term and credibility to the short term and credibility to the country in the longer term. fiat the country in the longer term. pat mcfadden, the shadow chief secretary to the treasury for labour, thank you very much. just a reminder that you very much. just a reminder that you can keep your comments coming into me about what you have heard from the prime minister today, what impact the financial turmoil is having on you. you can do that on twitter and use the hashtag bbc your questions. the time is 9.50. st george�*s chapel and windsor castle are due to reopen today giving people the opportunity to pay their respects to the queen at her final resting place. they were closed during the period of mourning, following her majesty�*s death earlier this month. we can get more on this from our royal correspondent sarah campbell. good morning, as you say the first time in three weeks the doors of windsor castle have been opened. the doors were open about 20 minutes ago. you can see the queues of people there. people have been going

in in waves. a lot of people have pre—booked slots. there are large coachloads which have been arriving and bearing in mind thousands of people that wanted to see the queen lying in state and the millions of people who watched the funeral on television, you can understand why the authorities here at the castle are thinking that they will have increased visitor numbers over the next few weeks, as people want to visit the memorial chapel. lots of traffic here on the corner. two people who have travelled all the way from queensland, australia, debbie and keith brooker. you booked your slot here before the queen died, you arrived at the beginning of september but you have arrived at quite a sort of unique moment? yes. quite a sort of unique moment? yes, we thought — quite a sort of unique moment? yes, we thought we _ quite a sort of unique moment? yes, we thought we were _ quite a sort of unique moment? yes we thought we were going to miss out. we heard the castle was closed and so we are happy to be here and to be able to come in today. end to be able to come in today. and what did the _ to be able to come in today. and what did the queen mean to you? you have lived all your lives in australia and i believe you saw her in 1970? , , ., ,

will swear their animal can read their mood — well, now there�*s some evidence to back up that theory. researchers at queen�*s university belfast found that dogs can smell when their human companions are stressed. joining me is phd researcher in canine behaviour, clara wilson. good morning to you. i am definitely one of those dog owners who will swear that my dog can read my mood. he knows when i am happy, if i am upset, if i am excited about something. so where was the starting point for your research? what i didn�*t know it smell was involved, so tell us more. didn't know it smell was involved, so tell us more.— didn't know it smell was involved, so tell us more. exactly. we know dos so tell us more. exactly. we know dogs have — so tell us more. exactly. we know dogs have an _ so tell us more. exactly. we know dogs have an incredible _ so tell us more. exactly. we know dogs have an incredible sense i so tell us more. exactly. we know dogs have an incredible sense of i dogs have an incredible sense of smell. my research background is more in dogs and laboratories smelling different health conditions or diseases but we wanted to borrow that premise and apply it rather than to a disease to a psychological state. so we wanted to see whether we could train dogs in the laboratory, but to tell apart the

sweat and breath taken from people i do when they are relaxed or when they were stressed. we think they can do that because when we become stressed, our body does have a series of kind of hormonal and even nervous system changes, so that is probably what they are picking up on. 50 probably what they are picking up on. ., , . on. so when the dogs detect the stress hormone, _ on. so when the dogs detect the stress hormone, do _ on. so when the dogs detect the stress hormone, do they - on. so when the dogs detect the l stress hormone, do they perceive that as being a negative emotional state? do they recognise that marc elias, so that is a very good question and that is actually outside of what this study was looking at. outside of what this study was looking at— outside of what this study was lookin: at. ., ,., . looking at. there are some great studies that _ looking at. there are some great studies that are _ looking at. there are some great studies that are trying _ looking at. there are some great studies that are trying to - looking at. there are some great| studies that are trying to address that and that is what we would call emotional contagion, where animals who live closely together pick up and also start to feel the way the people around them are feeling. but what we wanted to do to really down the odour part was to strip any kind of context and just at the look at the odours in isolation. so we simply want to see if becoming stressed changes the odour of a person and the dogs were picking

between individual people�*s samples, so picking between a person�*s stumble right before getting stressed, they did a difficult maths task and only four minutes later we took their stressed sample. and the dogs were picking between each person. so the only thing that had changed in the four minutes was becoming stressed that the stills were still very able to tell the two samples apart. so we don�*t know how the dogs were understanding that smell but it is good to know there is a smell component that want to look at in future studies. fiend is a smell component that want to look at in future studies.— look at in future studies. and you mentioned _ look at in future studies. and you mentioned in _ look at in future studies. and you mentioned in your _ look at in future studies. and you mentioned in your first _ look at in future studies. and you mentioned in your first answer, i look at in future studies. and you i mentioned in your first answer, we know some dogs have an incredible ability to detect certain diseases. in your study, your research, not all the dogs who started off with made it to the final stage, did they? so was there a difference, was it due to breed or could you tell what the differences were, whether some dogs were able to discriminate between different odours better than other dogs? between different odours better than other dos? ~ ., between different odours better than other dos? ~ . ., , other dogs? what we did as we started with — other dogs? what we did as we started with dogs, _ other dogs? what we did as we started with dogs, they - other dogs? what we did as we started with dogs, they were i other dogs? what we did as we | started with dogs, they were all other dogs? what we did as we i
