what we are seeing, particularly on short—term loans to the government. they have gone up a little bit. they say the currency has kind of settled where it was so we are left in a position where things look weaker than they were before the mini budget but they have recovered from what was frankly some chaos in the markets a couple of days ago. the bank of england's extraordinary intervention is at thanks for that. and we have to wait. clearly the markets are expecting more detail from the government's growth plan. to fill out some of that detail. we are told that will come. and no further shocks, are told that will come. and no furthershocks, i are told that will come. and no further shocks, i suspect. are told that will come. and no furthershocks, isuspect. but are told that will come. and no further shocks, i suspect. but at the moment things are kind of going along but not exactly hugely recovered. faisal islam, thank you. 0ur deputy political editor, vicki young, is in downing street. after days of silence, a whole series of interviews by the prime minister today.

no sign of any u turn on her economic plan? no, she is very clear about that. she is digging her heels in, there will be no u—turn, sticking by her growth plan and also trying to concentrate the conversation on the energy support package because she knows that has unanimous political support, that there had to be that huge intervention and it will help millions of people. so wanting to talk about that rather than the other things that didn't go so well. certainly no suggestion of any kind of rowing back because of market turmoil. the question is, is there anything that would make her change her mind or tweak things a little bit? then you look at the conservative party and the mps. i have been speaking to lots of them and there is a great deal of unhappiness. but i am struck by the way that many of them are trying to be constructive. they are making the point that they can't simply ditch this leader after three weeks, that would be completely insane, as one

put it to me, so what they need to do is try to make this work. their focus, from what i am hearing, is to try to get some movement on the november 23 date. that's when they were talking about other things being announced. they are to do with growth, most of them. things about trying to bring in more working visas, relaxing rules around childcare and planning, which they hope will bring the growth they desperately want. the question is, could they do it sooner? the other thing that might make them think twice about it are votes in parliament. there will be one coming up parliament. there will be one coming up on reducing the national insurance rises and i am told by some that the whips in charge of managing this are being told by some mps, you might not be able to get this through because we will not vote for something if we don't know how it will be paid for so they might have to think about that. not necessarily u—turn on it but give a bigger picture they are talking about will stop the markets want that, mps want that. they want to know how it will be paid for. there are not many people i speak to who

think you can wait until november 23rd to explain how to do that. vicki young at downing street, thank you. other news now, and russia has announced its formally annexing four regions of ukraine after referendums there that have been condemned in the west as illegal and illegitimate. there'll be a signing ceremony in the kremlin tomorrow. the votes were in the eastern regions of donetsk and luhansk, and kherson and zaporizhzhia in the south. together they amount to about 15% of the total territory of ukraine. hugo bachega is our correspondent in kyiv. hugo, this formal annexation not unexpected but what's been the reaction in ukraine? there is no surprise here because ukraine had said this was a farce. the so—called referendums had no legitimacy, and this process would be used as an excuse by the kremlin to go ahead with a land grab. it seems that is exactly what is going

to happen. president putin will sign a deal is for the annexation of these four ukrainian regions that are now partially occupied by russia during a major speech tomorrow. then there is a parliamentary process to ratify the decision in russia and thatis ratify the decision in russia and that is likely to happen early next week. these announcements will not be recognised internationally. western countries have said more economic sanctions will be imposed on russia as a reaction to this decision. here in kyiv, officials have told me that nothing really changes. there is no legal implication as a result of these announcements. they say this is moscow's reaction to recent military defeats and they will continue with the offensive to take back territory thatis the offensive to take back territory that is now under russian occupation. there is obviously the fear this could lead to an escalation in this war. moscow may say these areas are now part of russia and that any attack on those regions could be seen as an attack on russia itself.

hugo bachega in kyiv, thank you. meanwhile, sweden has found a new leak in a major undersea pipeline carrying russian natural gas to the eu, making it the fourth discovered in the last few days. denmark and sweden had already reported gas leaks in the nord stream 1 and 2 pipelines earlier this week. the eu is blaming sabotage. nato says the situation is of deep concern. one of the most dangerous storms to hit the united states in years has left millions of people in florida without power, and floodwaters surging inland. hurricane ian smashed into the coast last night with wind speeds of 150 miles per hour. the storm saw a hospital roof blown off, cars submerged and trees ripped from the ground. 0ur correspondent anjana gadgil has the latest. hurricane ian smashed into the west coast of florida with wind speeds of up to 150 miles an hour. more than 2 million people

were left without power and roads were submerged. most of the damage was caused by storm surges, walls of water carried by the wind onto land. the tourist town of fort myers was one of the areas worst affected. this is the storm surge that we talked about, but we weren't sure about. in nearby naples the fire station was submerged. whoa! a hurricane hunter who flew into the eye of the storm said it was the strongest he'd seen. today's flight was certainly the roughest that i've been on in my six years of doing this. never seen that much turbulence before. we are watching the radars, and as we are going through the eye wall, which is the roughest part of the storm, itjust seems to kind of go on forever. during the storm, a boat carrying cuban migrants to the united states sank off the key west coast. us border patrol found three survivors, but 23 others are missing.

hurricane ian is now moving north through florida, downgraded to a tropical storm. it's expected to reach georgia and south carolina tomorrow. both have declared a state of emergency. anjana gadgil, bbc news. azadeh moshiri is in the city of st petersburg in florida. how bad is the damage there? it's much calmer and the storm has been downgraded.— been downgraded. that's right but while it's been _ been downgraded. that's right but while it's been downgraded - been downgraded. that's right but while it's been downgraded to - been downgraded. that's right but while it's been downgraded to a i while it's been downgraded to a tropical storm, that doesn't mean the danger is completely over. of course in a place like tampa bay the storm has moved, the danger is now more mainland towards fort myers and naples, that's where you will have seen all those homes that have been inundated, the buildings torn apart, parts of roofs floating down inundated rivers, but officials are

saying the danger from the storms is not from the winds, it's from the waters and so to take care. in tampa bay they are warning people not to go back into their homes, to stay in shelters, and that's partly because while several people die as a direct result of storms, it's actually just as dangerous if not more dangerous afterwards. the governor used the example of several people having died during hurricane irma in 2017 but then dozens dying afterwards as a result of highways and damage, so that's why president biden has declared a major disaster and has released federal funds to help with the aftermath, but of course in mainland florida we are not there yet and the governor has said he isn't going to be thinking about that right now, that's for the future, that's for later. azadeh moshiri, thank _ future, that's for later. azadeh moshiri, thank you, _ future, that's for later. azadeh moshiri, thank you, reporting. | our top story this lunchtime. the prime minister breaks her silence on the financial market turmoil and defends

very easily treated. as his symptoms worsened, he had four telephone consultations with four different clinicians at his gp practice over 20 days in the autumn of 2020. each failed to diagnose his condition. his parents believe that not being able to see a doctor face—to—face was a significant factor in his death. david died from a condition that you'd expect to see happen in the third world. mm. you know, people living in the middle of nowhere with no access to medical treatment. it's all right. ifeel like i'm on the phone to you all the time. newsnight has obtained the audio recordings of david's consultations. by the fourth one, he's very ill. the infection has spread to his brain. he's in extreme pain and he's slurring his words. i've got pain behind both sides, my sinuses, my back and my neck, and i've got a temperature as well. woman: sinuses? sinuses and the back of the neck, so, like, the cheek area

and the back of the neck. back of your neck? you don't have sinuses in the back of your neck, usually. no, but... each clinician david spoke to, it was though... - the first consultation. ..he was treated as a stand alone i consultation, and very little regard was given to the fact that this - was the fourth time and that, only days earlier, he was passing blood. woman: sorry, the line's not very good. _ david has now had four telephone consultations and was so gravely ill that he was to die two days after this final call. do you think you've done anything? so you've not been in a a bit ofa bump in a car, oryou've not been doing lots and lots of computer work or any exercises that might have wrenched your neck or anything? no, i've not done anything for, like, a week. it's been appalling care. i think they've completely let david down at every single point. - and i am absolutely convinced, i

as david's mum, that if he'd been | seen on that last consultation, | he would still be with us today. newsnight understands that nhs england, which investigated david's care, has concluded that while he could have been seen face—to—face at any point, there was a clinical rationale for not seeing him until the fourth call. theyjudged that that call was not satisfactory and a face—to—face consultation should have been organised. that's him and i at his christening. an inquest is scheduled for the new year. david's gp surgery extended its condolences to the family but said it won't comment until after that concludes. the coroner will look at whether not receiving face—to—face care contributed to his death. david grossman, bbc news. you can see the full investigation tonight on newsnight on bbc two at 10:30pm. the american rapper coolio has died in los angeles at the age of 59.

coolio, whose real name was artis leon ivyjunior, was a leading figure in the west coast rap scene of the 1990s. he had a string of hits, including gangsta's paradise, which topped the us charts and won him a grammy. our music correspondent, mark savage, reports. music: gangsta's paradise coolio, one of the first rappers to balance the dark and gritty stories of street life with a pop sensibility. # as i walk through the valley of the shadow of death # i take a look at my life and realise there's nothin' left... born artis leon iveer in pennsylvania, he moved to the los angeles suburb of compton when he was a boy. after his parents divorced at the age of 11, he fell into the gang lifestyle and spent time in prison before he turned 20. he poured those experiences into gangsta's paradise, one of the most successful rap songs of all time, featured in the michelle pfeiffer

film dangerous minds, it won coolio a grammy for best rap solo performance in 1996. an award is not really the pinnacle of what your achievements are because you get an award. an award just lets you know that you worked hard at least for that particular period of time. coolio rejected the label of gangster rapper. with his christian faith inspiring more socially conscious songs like too hot, with its message of safe sex. # when it's time for selection, what's your direction? # before you make a choice you better do some inspection... an all—round entertainer, he appeared in dozens of films and tv shows, including celebrity big brother in the uk, and sharing his love of food in the internet series cookin' with coolio. coolio's death at 59 has shocked his fans and the music industry.

0ur science correspondent, victoria gill, has more. 0ur canine companions come in many sizes, shapes and personalities — but they all seem to share a common sensitive trait. she can sense that i'm stressed, so she gets more stressed. as soon as i, like, get up off the couch, like, they know that they're going fora run, or, like, they know how i'm feeling and are all like, "right, out, out!
