fema. people are assistance from fema. people are displaced because of hurricane ian so that will be necessary. we've been granted federal assistance, category a and b to move forward into this response and recovery situation. fema has activated individual assistance for those in need of help that qualify. you can go to the fema website or call their number. make sure you take a picture of the water line in your home because if you can show that, they are able to get assistance to you faster. people have merged this morning in the areas hard hit, understand this is still a hazardous situation. those people who are in there in the small hours of the warning were taking big risks as first responders navigating this. you have power lines that are down,

you have trees that are down, you have a lot of hazards right now. we do anticipate a lot of the water will subside in some of the barrier islands and some of the coasts but some of those inland places of rivers and these inlets, you are likely to have standing water there throughout all of today and even in the days ahead, so that is a hazard and just please be aware that that is something that if you have weathered the storm to this point, going on doing and getting involved in that is totally not worth it and we want to minimise any harm to anybody as a result of what we are seeing right now in the streets. it's gonna be put to use, i don't think we've seen in effort mobilise for this minutes rate rescues this quickly, but we appreciate and we will make good use of it. we want people to be safe, those people who

are in need of life supports, health is on the way —— help. they are able to see the areas that were hardest hit, and they are focusing assets there. obviously the barrier islands, but then you also have places along these different inlets and rivers where people said the water was rising, they were calling into the county, calling 911, and so they have a pretty good sense of where those calls were coming from, and they are focusing their rescue efforts on those areas that were most hard hit and again ijust want to thank the urban search and rescue teams, the national guards, the state resources and the coastguard, for not waiting around but for going in there and understanding that time is of the essence and we have got a lot of people that we need to help. for those looking to help, people say what can we do? well, the first lady is spearheading her efforts with and the disaster fund where

people can donate. it's much better to donate financially rather than sending items, we've got a lot of items and financial resources could really help people get their unique needs met. we have everything we needs met. we have everything we needin needs met. we have everything we need in terms of supply, but if you go to florida disasterfund or or text 20222 you can provide some much—needed assistance if you want to volunteer you have an official volunteer for opportunities. the impacts of the storm are historic the disaster the damage that has been done is historic. and this is just off assessments are i think we have never seen a flood event like this, we have never seen a storm surge of this magnitude and it hit

an area where there is a lot of people and a lot of those low—lying areas, and it's going to end up doing extensive damage to a lot of peoples homes, so there's going to be a lot of work to do. —— floridadisasterfund.org today is going to be about getting people out of harms way, restoring services, to have fuel and to have the things people need in terms of communications. i want to thank caron guthrie for having these assets ready to go, we are going to use every bit of them until all the tasks are completed. so kevin, do you want to come up and give an update? you want to come up and give an u date? . ~ you want to come up and give an udate? . ~ ,, you want to come up and give an udate? ., ~ i. , , you want to come up and give an udate? ., ~ , , ., ~ update? thank you gilbert, thank you first lady for — update? thank you gilbert, thank you first lady for your— update? thank you gilbert, thank you first lady for your leadership - first lady for your leadership across— first lady for your leadership across the state. to go into a little — across the state. to go into a little more _ across the state. to go into a little more detail today, as tropical— little more detail today, as tropical storm ian continues to move across_ tropical storm ian continues to move across central florida today, we

the prime minister has defended her government economic policies after the turmoil on the markets. this week the pound fell to a record low against the dollar and yesterday, the bank of england intervened to buy government bonds — to stop pension funds collapsing. our political correspondent leila nathoo reports. prime minister liz truss, who will... after radio silence since last friday's mini budget, this morning a punishing round of interviews. liz truss faced eight bbc local radio presenters forced to defend her economic approach. the pound has dropped to a record low. the imf has said you should re—evaluate your policies and the bank of england has had to spend £65 billion to prop up the markets because of what they describe as a material risk. where have you been? 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. it was awkward and uncomfortable at times. we are going to spend more in mortgage fees and do - —— under what you have done based on the predictions then . we would have saved with energy. i don't think anybody is arguing that we shouldn't have acted on energy. if you make a million you will benefit £55,000 a year from tax cuts. on £20,000 like a teaching assistant or nurse, £157. a couple of people said to me in nottingham, this is like a reverse robin hood. that... that simply isn't true. by far the biggest part of the mini... which bit of it? the entirety of what you said. tax cuts disproportionally benefiting the wealthiest. the main message was a government refusing to change course and wanted to focus on support for energy bills

rather than tax cuts. it's a difficult time. we are facing a global economic crisis brought about by putin's war in ukraine and what was right is that britain took decisive action to help people get through what is going to be a difficult winter. labour says this is a crisis of the government's own making and they want the budget to be abandoned and for parliament to be recalled. the government has unleashed chaos in the financial markets as a result of the measures announced on friday. this is not something that was imposed on them by external conditions. it was a reckless act of choice. and for the prime minister now to double down on that in interviews does beg the question, what is more important? saving face for the prime minister and chancellor, or saving the mortgage payments of millions of people? there is plenty of concern among tory mps too about the government tax—cutting plans will stop many

are concerned about damage to the party's economic credibility, about the politicaljudgments involved and are questioning whether tax cuts can really generate enough growth. but the government seems confident that in time, nerves will be calmed. downing street and the treasury are aiming to hold out almost two more months before announcing their medium—term economic plans. the tory party conference begins this weekend. pressure on the government will continue. leila nathoo, bbc news, westminster. a line of breaking news from the unite union, we are told that nearly 600 port workers in liverpool are going to take seven days of industrial action. these are new dates that had not been announced before. they will begin on the 11th of october and run to the 17th of october, so all those days inclusive. as we know, quite a lot of strike dates allowance to buy

various unions. we have the forthcoming rail strike by three of the unions on this saturday and also the unions on this saturday and also the fifth and 8th of october, 600 liverpool workers taking six days of strike action from the 11 to the 17th. the former governor of the bank of england, sir mark carney, has criticised the government for promising tax cuts without proper costings or economic forecasts. he said the plans undermine the bank's efforts to control inflation — and that this had led to dramatic moves on the financial markets. here's our economics correspondent, andy verity. today was the day that £65 billion of reassurance wasn't enough to calm market's nerves. while yesterday, traders welcomed the bank of england's intervention to calm unprecedented volatility in the markets by spending huge sums buying them, today investors were demanding higher interest rates to make up for the risks they are taking lending to the uk government. will further intervention by the bank of england be necessary? i can't answer that question i'm afraid. the first public words from the prime minister since the budget on friday didn't do much to reassure the markets was up

in a highly unusual move the former governor of the bank of england has economic institutions because its heavy borrowing has forced up . interest rates. there is a limit to unfunded spending and unfunded tax cuts. the price of those is much higher borrowing costs for the government and for mortgage holders and borrowers up and down the country. and at some point those higher costs of borrowing for everybody undo and undoes the positive impact of any tax reductions are. this is a chart that shows credit default swaps. those are instruments where traders take a view on how creditworthy or not the uk government is to lend money to. and what this chart tells us, is that the cost of insuring against the government defaulting on its debt is now about twice what it was a couple of weeks ago,

and it has also shot up since friday to levels here that you can see, it is higher even than at the beanie of the pandemic. than at the beginning of the pandemic. traders are now pricing in the likelihood of a downgrade to the uk government's credit rating within weeks. it may be the case that the rating can be cut to perhaps aa2 so we are moving away from the aaa status that the government had operated under for most of the post—war period. much like a homeowner, pension funds had effectively borrowed from banks to buy long—term government bonds and saw their value halve. they have been told they will have to come up with more cash immediately which they can only find by selling more bonds, threatening a vicious circle of selling. we have never seen government bond prices fall this far this fast at any time in history. that's caused a lot of stress in the pension market. we have needed to respond to that very quickly and we just can't respond fast enough,

and that's why the bank of england's action yesterday was very timely and has given us two weeks breathing space to catch up. the pound has dropped sharply this month, and it dipped again this morning against the dollar and euro. hitting importers like this bicycle firm that pays its suppliers in dollars. it is really painful. our cost price has effectively increased by nearly 5% in a few hours last week and that's on top of already having gone up by over 20% since january. and because we buy all our bikes in us dollars, we are at the whim of the exchange rates. the retailer next has warned the weak pound will prolong the cost of living crisis, forcing up the price of clothing that it pays for in dollars that are no more expensive to buy in pounds. it says costs are likely to continue rising next year. andy verity, bbc news. one of the most dangerous storms to hit the united states in years has

left millions in florida without power. hurricane ian smashed into coastline yesterday saw trees rip from the ground. governor ron desantis described flooding is a once in 500 year event. described flooding is a once in 500 ear event. described flooding is a once in 500 year event-— described flooding is a once in 500 ear event. ., , ., ., ., ~' year event. right now if you look in central florida, _ year event. right now if you look in central florida, you _ year event. right now if you look in central florida, you are _ year event. right now if you look in central florida, you are looking - year event. right now if you look in central florida, you are looking at. central florida, you are looking at potential major flooding in orange and seminal counties, saintjohns river all the way up potentially into north—east florida in jacksonville. the amount of water that it's been rising, and will likely continue to rise today even as the storm is passing, is basically a 500 year flood event. and i know seminal county has done evacuations, i know they have issued open shelters, but we are going to see a lot of images about the destruction that was done in south—west florida, and obviously we have massive assets they are, but people should just understand that the impact that the storm is having

strong reaction from the west, which was a mistake because it actually fuelled putin and probably in a way played into the war that russia has been carrying out an ukraine since the 24th of february. it gave them a sense of untouchability, so this time the reaction has been totally different. there has been a strong condemnation of these illegal referendums, russia has been accused of escalating the war that it is carrying out in ukraine, and there has been a tough response in terms of more sanctions being put on the table against russia. haifa of more sanctions being put on the table against russia.— table against russia. how do you think that ukraine _ table against russia. how do you think that ukraine will— table against russia. how do you think that ukraine will now - table against russia. how do you - think that ukraine will now respond? it means that they are fighting on an even biggerfront, doesn't it was mac yes, ukraine is doing very well in this war. mac yes, ukraine is doing very well in this war-— in this war. they are pushing back and the troops — in this war. they are pushing back and the troops are _ in this war. they are pushing back and the troops are at _

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 as though it was... - the first consultation. ..it was treated as a stand alone . consultation, and very little regard was given to the fact that this was, you know, 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, . 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 woman accused of causing the death of the teenage new news has emerged, the chancellor, we have not seen much of him or heard much of him in the last few days despite the turmoil on the

market and intervention by the bank of england on the bond market. he insisted the government is sticking to its growth plan and is going to help people with energy bills. this follows elizabeth ii the prime minister's appearance on multiple radio stations on the bbc networks to date —— liz truss's the prime minister. she was taken to task on the economy and also what is happening with regard to fracking in parts of the country where there is resistance to that happening again so kwasi kwarteng saying he is sticking to the plan. i was telling you a little while ago that the queen's death certificate has been issued and it says the money died from old age. our correspondent dan johnson is not a copy of it. it is the strange thing to look at and to hold, isn't it, make the, someone else's death certificate? in essence this is a public— else's death certificate? in essence this is a public document _ else's death certificate? in essence this is a public document and - else's death certificate? in essence this is a public document and same j this is a public document and same sort of document that will be created when anybody is born, married or dies so many ways this at the momentjust following the

administrative process that every family has to go through in this situation. because he died in scotland this record of the death has been held by the national record of scotland and they have released an extract of the register in the vector is three of death so it tells us the death has been registered in aberdeenshire and it tells us mary windsor died on the 8th of september 2022 and perhaps the most interesting detail here is it tells us that the queen died at ten past three that afternoon and if we go back to the sequence of events that day we knew there was a statement at around 12:30pm saying she was unwell, under medical supervision. we know that then prince charles and princess anne were at balmoral castle which is where she died according to the certificate. they were there at the time but we know that the family were still left to travel with her so we know this shows the queen died without

grandchildren and her children at her side. grandchildren and her children at herside. it grandchildren and her children at her side. it says the cause of death is old age and no more detail than that. �* . , , �* is old age and no more detail than that. �* . , , ~ , that. and princess anne register the death? when _ that. and princess anne register the death? when comic— that. and princess anne register the death? when comic princess - that. and princess anne register the death? when comic princess anne l death? when comic princess anne reuister death? when comic princess anne register the _ death? when comic princess anne register the death, _ death? when comic princess anne register the death, the _ death? when comic princess anne register the death, the queen's i register the death, the queen's daughter, and she is to go to the registry office and fill in those details and in the way any other grieving bereaved family would have to do in those moments after death and it is a legal requirement that it is registered within a week and there is a curious difference here. apparently the king had died in england the registration act wouldn't have applied to her because she was the manic but that was never enacted in scotland so we wouldn't have seen this should the queen, it had the queen died in england most likely. we had a little draw little more insight into that in the process... doctor named here and a few other officials in this process

and... it contains the detail of who herfather and... it contains the detail of who her father and spectacular to the monarchy but on the everyday from everyone seen this is really quite touching it is the queen _ seen this is really quite touching it is the queen and _ seen this is really quite touching it is the queen and all _ seen this is really quite touching it is the queen and all membersj seen this is really quite touching i it is the queen and all members of the royalfamily from past it is the queen and all members of the royal family from past and present but it is the same bit of paperwork everyone has to fill in. absolutely, what a leveller. there has been so much a reflection of the queen's life in amazing service but in essence an administrative terms it comes down to the same piece of paper that everyone would have. thank you very much, danjohnson. in a world where fraudsters are ever more bold — a new scam has been unearthed by a bbc investigation. it is a fake car dealer website which has already cost victims thousands of pounds. online vehicle fraud is on the rise, and as ashleyjohn baptiste reports, it can be brazen and take a terrible

toll on the people taken in by it. we got lots of people turning up here. they come here to basically pick up their new car and there's nothing here. harry runs a small repair garage in fife in scotland, but people turn up expecting to find a big car dealership. this was the couple that drove seven hours with a five—month—old baby, and this is them just realising that it's been a scam. a dealership called auto—promotions ran here for 30 years, but that company hasn't existed since 2008. but its name and address have been used without their consent on this website, which claims to have hundreds of cars for sale. in west yorkshire, pietro thought he'd bought one of the second—hand cars from the auto—promotions website. he transferred almost £4,000, including delivery, but no car has ever turned up. the money was both his and his elderly mum's savings. it's just. . .just devastating, really. you know, such a large amount of money.

really, really upsetting to tell you the truth. and especially for my mum's side, you know, just to, sort of, like, take her out, rather than her being homebound all the time. i've spoken to eight people from across the uk who have parted with thousands of pounds, only to not receive their cars. i've also heard from dozens more who were on the brink of sending money to auto—promotions. to try and find out who's behind the website, i called in one of the bbc�*s data experts, who looked in detail into every part of the website and its footprint on the internet. he discovered that most of the information on the site was taken from elsewhere. the team members were photos of people from across the world with no links to a car dealership, and the car adverts were also borrowed from other websites. it's really sophisticated. i mean, i could have been fooled by it myself. there's a few red flags, but, generally speaking, somebody that's really savvy could easily have fallen for this.

last year, there were almost 3,000 reports of online vehicle fraud, up 21% since 2019. and after covid pushed all sorts of previously face—to—face sales onto the internet, research suggests a third of us would now buy a used car completely online without seeing it. mike andrews, the head of the e—crime team for national trading standards, told us they haven't seen a car dealership website on this scale before and had this advice for consumers. one of the big things we say for consumers when they're buying online is do your research. if you're making any purchase online, don't make the payment by bank transfer. if you pay using your credit card in particular, you've got extra protection. you've still got an enhanced level of protection even if you use a debit card. as a result of our investigation, the police took the website down. but those behind it

have not been caught. ashley jean—ba ptiste, bbc news. and you can watch more on that story, now, over on the bbc iplayer. hundreds of people are queuing at windsor castle where members let's return to the death of the american rapper coolio who died after having a string of hits. we have a music blogger who can tell us what she thought about him. i’m what she thought about him. i'm cuite what she thought about him. i�*m quite young but his music was like a soundtrack of my childhood so having him passing away feels like a loss within the community. by, him passing away feels like a loss

correspondent victoria gill reports. our 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! " really? out the house, yeah. many dog owners will tell you that their pets can sense their mood, but now there's some evidence to suggest they can smell our psychological state. can't you ? this is a stress sniff test devised by scientists. willing pet dogs, volunteered by their owners, were trained to nose through this canister line—up. each can contains a sample of sweat or breath taken from a person either before or just after they'd completed a difficult stress—inducing maths problem. the task — sniff out the stressed person's sample. she's one of our study dogs. she's a three—year—old mixed breed and she's a rescue dog and she's absolutely gorgeous. this is herbert. oh, they do look kind of similar! they do, don't they? having a psychological stress

response changes the way that our body is emitting odours, and dogs can detect that change. why was stress of particular interest to you? i think it's just really interesting to kind of confirm that, alongside everything that we're aware of, there are these kind of more subtle cues that we might be emitting that dogs are picking up on. the researchers say their findings could help in the training of service and therapy dogs, understanding exactly what human scent cues their noses can detect. but the researchers also sniffed out one more reason why people feel so connected to their dogs. victoria gill, bbc news. clever things. now it's time for a look at the weather with helen willets. good afternoon. there's been a distinct chill in the air this week but now we look to the atlantic for the next phase of autumn weather. gates and heavy rain rolling in on this next

area of low pressure. ahead of it through the rest of today, a ridge of high pressure which means there will be fewer showers than recent days. still quite a chill in that northeasterly breeze, one or two showers across central and eastern england, perhaps north—eastern scotland, but for many a lot of dry weather with sunshine. temperatures not too far away from the seasonal average. where the winds are light, the sunshine will feel pleasant enough but as we go through the evening and overnight, the wind strengthens towards the northwest and we pull in some quite heavy rain by morning to parts of northern ireland and western scotland. ahead of that, it's still going to be chilly with temperatures dropping low enough for a touch of grass frost and perhaps patchy mist and fog which at this time of year will take until nine or ten or ten o'clock in the morning to clear away, so that's the main thing to watch for in the south across england and wales tomorrow but for scotland and northern ireland, a gale—force wind blowing in this rain,

even gales across the land, gusts of 60 or 70 mph around the hills and coasts. that will sweep southwards and eastwards through the day so even to the english channel we will see perhaps severe gales through the irish sea and the north and west. then brighter weather with scattered showers follows behind. 13 or 14 once the rain clears, still16 or 17 even with the rain, it's relatively mild atlantic air, but it will be a windy day for the south. that clears for the start of the weekend then we have our west, north westerly wind throwing showers are away and then showers rushing in on saturday, particularly the north and west, but in the south it may be that we will see fewer showers because the approach of the weather system later in the day will dampen the activity. because it's a westerly breeze, not a northerly, 14 to 19 celsius, temperatures up and feeling pleasant in the sunshine but then? as to how far north and how much wind and rain we will see on that

good afternoon and welcome. the prime minister has defended her government's economic policies, despite the turmoil on the markets after last week's mini—budget. in her first public comments since then, liz truss said tax cuts and increased borrowing are "controversial and difficult" decisions, but the "right plan" to get the economy moving. this week the pound fell to a record low against the dollar and yesterday, the bank of england intervened to buy government bonds to stop pension funds collapsing. in the last few minutes the chancellor, kwasi kwarteng, said he is sticking with his growth plan to help people with energy bills. our political correspondent leila nathoo reports. prime minister liz truss, who will...| after radio silence since last

friday's mini budget, this morning a punishing round of interviews. liz truss faced eight of the bbc�*s local radio presenters, forced to defend her economic approach. the pound has dropped to a record low. the imf has said you should re—evaluate your policies and the bank of england has had to spend £65 billion to prop up the markets because of what they describe as a material risk. where have you been? 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. it was awkward and uncomfortable at times. we're going to spend more - in mortgage fees under what you've done based on the predictions then we would have saved with energy. i i don't think anybody is arguing that we shouldn't have acted on energy. if you make a million you will benefit 55 grand

a year from tax cuts. on 20k, like a teaching assistant or a nurse, £157. a couple of people said to me in nottingham, "this is like a reverse robin hood." that... that simply isn't true. by far the biggest part of the mini... which bit of it? the entirety of what you said. the tax cuts are disproportionally benefiting the wealthiest. the main message was a government refusing to change course and wanting to focus on support for energy bills rather than tax cuts. it's a difficult time. we're facing a global economic crisis brought about by putin's war in ukraine and what was right is that britain took decisive action to help people get through what is going to be a difficult winter. labour says this is a crisis of the government's own making. they want the budget to be abandoned and for parliament to be recalled. the government has unleashed chaos in the financial markets as a result

of the measures announced on friday. this is not something that was imposed on them by external conditions. it was a reckless act of choice. and for the prime minister now to double down on that in interviews does beg the question, what is more important? saving face for the prime minister and the chancellor, or saving the mortgage payments of millions of people? there is plenty of concern among tory mps, too, about the government's tax—cutting plans. many are concerned about damage to the party's economic credibility, about the politicaljudgments involved, and are questioning whether tax cuts can really generate enough growth. but the government seems confident that in time nerves will be calmed. downing street and the treasury are aiming to hold out almost two more months before announcing their medium—term economic plans. the tory party conference begins this weekend. pressure on the government will continue. leila nathoo, bbc news, westminster. the former governor of the bank of england — sir mark carney — has criticised the government for promising tax

cuts without proper costings or economic forecasts. he said the plans undermine the bank's efforts to control inflation — and that this had led to "dramatic" moves on the financial markets. here's our economics correspondent, andy verity. today was the day that £65 billion of reassurance wasn't enough to calm markets' nerves. while yesterday traders welcomed the bank of england's intervention to calm unprecedented volatility in the market for government bonds, by spending a huge sum buying them, this morning investors were again demanding higher interest rates to make up for the risks they now think they're taking lending to the uk government. will further intervention _ by the bank of england be necessary? i can't answer that question i'm afraid. the first public words from the prime minister since the budget on friday didn't do much to reassure the markets. in a highly unusual move, a former governor of the bank of england has now accused the government of undercutting the uk's economic institutions because its heavy borrowing has forced up interest rates.

there is a limit to unfunded spending and unfunded tax cuts. the price of those is much higher borrowing costs for the government and for mortgage holders and borrowers up and down the country. and at some point those higher costs of borrowing for everybody undoes the positive impact of any tax reductions. this is a chart that shows credit default swaps. those are instruments where traders take a view on how creditworthy or not the uk government is to lend money to. and what this chart tells us is that the cost of insuring against the government defaulting on its debt is now about twice what it was a couple of weeks ago, and it has also shot up since friday to levels here that you can see, is higher even than at the beginning of the pandemic. traders are now pricing in the likelihood of a downgrade to the uk government's credit rating within weeks.

it may be the case that the rating can be cut to perhaps aa2, so we are moving away from the aaa status that had been the benchmark and the gold standard that the uk had operated underfor most of the post—war period. much like a homeowner whose house price plummets below the amount of the mortgage, pension funds had effectively borrowed from banks to buy long—term government bonds and saw their value halve. they were being told they would have to come up with more cash immediately which they could only find by selling more bonds, threatening a vicious circle of selling. we have never seen government bond prices fall this far this fast at any point in history. that's caused a lot of stress in the pension market. we have needed to respond to that very quickly and we just can't respond fast enough, and that's why the bank of england's action yesterday was very timely and has given us two weeks' breathing space to catch up. the pound has dropped sharply this month and it dipped again this morning against the dollar and euro. that's hit importers like this bicycle firm that

pays its suppliers in dollars. it's really painful. our cost price has effectively increased by nearly 5% in a few hours last week and that's on top of already having gone up by over 20% since january. and because we buy all our bikes in us dollars we are at the whim of the exchange rates. the retailer next has warned the weak pound will prolong the cost of living crisis, forcing up the price of clothes it pays for in dollars which are now more expensive to buy in pounds. it says costs are likely to continue rising next year. andy verity, bbc news. our deputy political editor, vicki young, is in westminster. we had not seen the chancellor or the prime ministerfor a we had not seen the chancellor or the prime minister for a few days. but the chancellor has appeared and made comments but he has got to be careful about what he says, hasn't he? ~ :, , careful about what he says, hasn't he? . ., , ., careful about what he says, hasn't he? . :, , ., careful about what he says, hasn't he? . ., , ., :, careful about what he says, hasn't he? :, ,~ :, :, he? what they are both doing today is cominu he? what they are both doing today is coming out _ he? what they are both doing today is coming out and _ he? what they are both doing today is coming out and defending - he? what they are both doing today is coming out and defending their i is coming out and defending their policy. they want to concentrate on

not so much the growth element of this but they are almost going back in time talking about the energy package, and it is interesting that they feel the date was announced, we can remember, that was the day the queen died, so not much coverage of that for a long time, and then of course the mini budget on friday, and other things tagged on to it, and other things tagged on to it, and the biggest part of that mini budget which is the help energy bills, slightly lost, so they are trying to go back in time and say, remember we are helping millions of people with all of this. but that is not the controversial bit, the controversial stuff is about the tax cuts which conservatives say to me, people going on about that this is a proper conservative budget because you are cutting taxes, but actually they are underfunded and they are borrowing huge amounts to do so, and thatis borrowing huge amounts to do so, and that is notjust making the markets queasy but it is worrying lots of tory mps who are now wondering how they are going to get out of this

because they need the growth in order to pay for these things. i wonder how wise they think it was for liz truss to do a round of interviews with bbc local radio because it has generated a lot of traffic on social media. you because it has generated a lot of traffic on social media.- traffic on social media. you can't hide forever. _ traffic on social media. you can't hide forever, ultimately, - traffic on social media. you can't hide forever, ultimately, she - traffic on social media. you can't| hide forever, ultimately, she has got to come out and defend her policy, and those says she absolutely believes that this is the right thing to do. she's not going to make a u—turn so the question for those conservative mps who are worried about what is happening, how do they direct that concern. you will be well aware that not many of them are coming onto the airwaves to vent anger but what i'm hearing from them privately is that they want to be constructive and that the idea of getting rid of a prime minister afterjust three weeks is completely idiotic as one said to me, they could not do that. it would lose them 100 seats, this person predicted. they have to try to make it work and the one thing they do

want is the whole package. they want the rest of the mini budget, the bit that was not delivered, with the costings from the office for budget responsibility, and it is time to happen on the 23rd of november and so many people have said you can't wait until then. it has got to happen sooner. people have got to see the plan for getting debt to fall and it should have been done earlier. the other part of the growth package is things like workers visas, planning regulations, but if you think about what that involves, it means more immigration and getting planning reforms through which conservatives have already blocked, so none of this is going to be easy. blocked, so none of this is going to be eas . :, blocked, so none of this is going to be eas. :, :, :, , joining us now — sally mitchell, mortgage advisor and broker from the mortgage mum. what are you seeing happening today when it comes to the mortgage products that are available? we have

the mortgage in the first place, the most common exit strategy is to sell that property and hope it has made enough money so you can pay off the loan. if that your principal home, yourfamily home, that is quite hard to do. if you do do that, then where do you go but not you have sold your home. in the short term, interest only could work, i would take serious advice on it, though, because it would certainly reduce your monthly payment, and the other option if you are looking to reduce, to try to get back to somewhere close to what you are paying at the moment, is to extend your mortgage term, the longer period of term you pay your mortgage over, say 25 years, the lower the monthly payment, however, if you have a very long term you will end up at the end of that having paid more interest. so again we try to keep the term to

a sensible amount of time so you are not overpaying on interest but it is affordable. it is an option to extend it if you can, if you are of a certain age. if you are older, 25 years up to before retirement age, it is more difficult. lats years up to before retirement age, it is more difficult.— it is more difficult. lots to consider- _ it is more difficult. lots to consider. for _ it is more difficult. lots to consider. for now, - it is more difficult. lots to consider. for now, thanksj it is more difficult. lots to i consider. for now, thanks for joining us. consider. for now, thanks for joining us— the woman accused of killing the teenage motorcyclist harry dunn near an american military base in northamptonshire has appeared in court for the first time, via video link from the united states — ending his family's three—year wait for criminal proceedings to begin. 19—year—old mr dunn died in a collision outside an raf base in northamptonshire in august 2019. let's talk to our correspondent daniel sandford who's at westminster magistrates' court so that is something about how harry died but can you give us the background to the legal case. it has

and she was appearing via video link from the us. she was asked to give herfull name and from the us. she was asked to give her full name and she gave that and she was asked to give her date of birth, and then there was a discussion of the address the court had and that was given as her lawyer's office in washington, dc. as often happens with these hearings, it was a brief hearing, just about six minutes, it was agreed the case should go to the central criminal court, the old bailey, on the 27th of october, and for now anne sacoolas will remain in the us and the court was told that the us and the court was told that the prosecution and the defence will make a joint application that the next hearing at the old bailey should also happen by video link and then the court case was over suddenly and that moment that harry dunn's family had been waiting for for so long had happened. they can now believe that there is a core process going on in this country to try to find out whether or not somebody was guilty of causing harry dunn's death by dangerous driving ——

there is a court process going on. daniel, thanks forjoining us. russia has announced it is formally annexing four regions of ukraine after discredited 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. our correspondent hugo bachega has the latest from kyiv. 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 [and grab. it seems that this is exactly what is going to happen. president putin will sign deals 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 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 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, there.

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 150mph. the storm saw a hospital roof blown off, cars submerged and trees ripped from the ground. hurricane ian smashed into the west coast of florida with wind speeds of up to 150mph. 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. florida's governor ron desantis has described the flooding as a once in "500 year event". right now if you look in central florida, you are looking at potential major flooding in several counties, stjohn's river, all the

way up potentially into northeast florida and jacksonville, and the amount of water that has been rising and will likely continue to rise today even as the storm is passing is basically a 500 year flood event and i know one county has done evacuations and they have opened shelters but we are going to see a lot of images about the destruction that was done in south—west florida. we have massive assets there but people should understand that this storm is having broad impacts across the state and some of the flooding you are going to see, hundreds of miles from where this made landfall, it is going to set records and that will obviously be things that we need to be responded to. that was the governor _ need to be responded to. that was the governor of _ need to be responded to. that was the governor of the _ need to be responded to. that was the governor of the state - need to be responded to. that was the governor of the state of - the governor of the state of florida. we can speak to our climate editor, justin. how significant is this

total emissions, but in itself it is one of the biggest releases, an industrial plant we have ever seen and a lot of gas, about 2 million cubic metres of gas, huge numbers, almost incomprehensible. but the truth is against the background of the incredible emissions the industrial society produces now, this is a drop in the ocean. justin, for the moment, _ this is a drop in the ocean. justin, for the moment, thanks - this is a drop in the ocean. justin, for the moment, thanks for - this is a drop in the ocean. justin, | for the moment, thanks forjoining us. let's go live to orlando in florida and speak to cristian benevides, from cbs news. the traffic is managing to get back onto the roads behind you, what is the latest on the position of the storm? ,., :, :, ~ the latest on the position of the storm? ., . ., the latest on the position of the storm? :, . ., , storm? good morning. we are still feelin: storm? good morning. we are still feeling the — storm? good morning. we are still feeling the effects _ storm? good morning. we are still feeling the effects of— storm? good morning. we are still feeling the effects of tropical - feeling the effects of tropical storm ian but it is on its way out into the atlantic where it could potentially strengthen once again and make a third landfall and this time it would be either georgia or

certificate. they were there at that time but we know that at three o'clock the rest of her family were still travelling to be with her so it does seem that this confirms the queen sadly died without her grandchildren and her rest of her children being at her side and it tells of the cause of death was old age but no more detail than that. princess anne is mentioned on the document as well?— document as well? yes, it is princess _ document as well? yes, it is princess and _ document as well? yes, it is princess and who _ document as well? yes, it is princess and who registered | document as well? yes, it is i princess and who registered this death, the queen's daughter socino so much she has had to go to the registry office and fill this form, fill in the details and in the same way any grieving family would have to do in those moments after death. it is a legal requirement death is registered within a week and is a curious difference here. apparently the queen had died in england the registration act wouldn't have applied to her because she is new monarch but that was never enacted in scotland so we wouldn't have seen this had the queen died in england, most likely, so we are getting a little bit more of an insight into circumstances on the queen's death that day in a sort of processes that

the royal family has had to go to afterwards. her doctor is named here and a few other officials have been involved in this process. it confirms her husband's details, gives her her father and confirms her husband's details, gives her herfather and mother's details, but herfather gives her herfather and mother's details, but her father was gives her herfather and mother's details, but herfather was king george vi, deceased. it is spectacular details but on the everyday form that everyone will have seen whenever anyone dies. i think that the mi makes it really quite touching, that dumb it down. this is the queen and all of those members of the royal family past and present but it is the same piece of paper work of one has to fill in. absolutely, what a leveller. there has been so much reflection on the queen's life and legacy business as it comes down to the same piece of paper anyone would have.

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... aw, here goes! 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. "this is sad news," tweeted the rapper ice cube. "i witnessed first—hand this man's grind to the top of the industry. "rest in peace."

mc hammer called coolio, "one of the nicest dudes i've ever known." michelle pfeiffer said she was heartbroken, adding, "i remember him being nothing but gracious." away from his entertainment career, coolio was a lifelong sufferer of asthma, and advocated for those suffering from respiratory diseases. he died on wednesday night at a friend's apartment. no cause of death has been given, but his manager said paramedics believed it may have been cardiac arrest. mark savage, bbc news. in the past few minutes the chancellor for the clotting has in the past few minutes the chancellorfor the clotting has been defending his economic plans and the media. it is the first time we've heard from him a few days and see what he thinks. i am here because we have pieces from the treasury office very much interested in investment zones, our growth plan, really getting bitten moving and this is why i'm here. it is a great company, great history and engineering and i am very much

this was the couple that drove seven hours with a five—month—old baby, and this is them just realising that it's been a scam. a dealership called auto—promotions ran here for 30 years, but that company hasn't existed since 2008. but its name and address have been used without their consent on this website, which claims to have hundreds of cars for sale. in west yorkshire, pietro thought he'd bought one of the second—hand cars from the auto—promotions website. he transferred almost £4,000, including delivery, but no car has ever turned up. the money was both his and his elderly mum's savings. it's just. . .just devastating, really. you know, such a large amount of money. really, really upsetting to tell you the truth. and especially for my mum's side, you know, just to, sort of, like, take her out, rather than her being homebound all the time. i've spoken to eight people from across the uk who have parted with thousands of pounds, only to not receive their cars. i've also heard from dozens more who were on the brink of sending money to auto—promotions. to try and find out who's behind the website, i called in one of the bbc�*s data experts, who looked in detail into every part of the website and its footprint on the internet.

he discovered that most of the information on the site was taken from elsewhere. the team members were photos of people from across the world with no links to a car dealership, and the car adverts were also borrowed from other websites. it's really sophisticated. i mean, i could have been fooled by it myself. there's a few red flags, but, generally speaking, somebody that's really savvy could easily have fallen for this. last year, there were almost 3,000 reports of online vehicle fraud, up 21% since 2019. and after covid pushed all sorts of previously face—to—face sales onto the internet, research suggests a third of us would now buy a used car completely online without seeing it. mike andrews, the head of the e—crime team for national trading standards, told us they haven't seen a car dealership website on this scale before and had this advice for consumers. one of the big things we say

for consumers when they're buying online is do your research. if you're making any purchase online, don't make the payment by bank transfer. if you pay using your credit card in particular, you've got extra protection. you've still got an enhanced level of protection even if you use a debit card. as a result of our investigation, the police took the website down. but those behind it have not been caught. ashley jean—ba ptiste, bbc news. and you can watch more on that story, now, over on the bbc iplayer. the bbc is cutting more generous jobs. 382 posts will be closed on the worlds service as part of an attempt to save £28.5 million on the bbc�*s international services. there will also be the closure of some programmes altogether including bbc arabic radio and persian radio. the bbc is trying to make wider savings

of £500 million. the saying goes that an englishman's home is his castle — but a flat in merseyside that looks more like an egyptian tomb has prompted a campaign to preserve the artwork contained within. the late ron gittins was an artist from birkenhead who created paintings and sculptures all over his rented flat — and some of it really has to be seen to be believed. our media and arts correspondent david sillito has more. from the outside, it looks like any other house. however, it hides a secret. welcome to ron's place. now, let's have a little look inside. there was a rental agreement which said that ron was allowed to redecorate, according to the tenant's taste. and ron's taste... this was ron's taste. it's a minotaur.

ron gittins was well known in the neighbourhood, but it was only when he died that his family got to see inside his home. and it wasn'tjust a minotaur. in the living room, there's a giant lion. the kitchen has a roman bread oven. and on almost every surface, ron has left his artistic mark. did you have any idea all this was here? no. ron — we would only ever see ron at family gatherings or down in town. we would see him in his eccentric outfits, but we would never, ever come into his flat because he just wouldn't have thought to invite us in it. it just wasn't that relationship. eccentric. yes, very. so he had been known to wear flower pots on his head. he would dress in soldiers' uniforms. i've seen him in a robin hood outfit. he was what might be

known as a character. yeah, definitely! if you saw ron in the street, you wouldn't forget him. it has taken months to reveal the full extent of all his creations, but the question now is what to do with it, which is why there is now a campaign to preserve and protect ron's place. i think some people obviously look at what he's done to be of a kind of not a fantastic standard. those things miss the point, really. it's about the immersive nature of this place. that's what makes it so special. the idea of the landlord, who needs to rent it out to somebody else, knocks down the fireplaces and gives it a kind of magnolia makeover. and that's the end of it — if that happens, ijust couldn't sleep at night.

and whatever becomes of ron's place, it is a reminder that we often have little idea about what might be going on behind closed doors. david sillito, bbc news, oxton on the wirral. that's a very understanding landlord, isn't it? it seems dogs can sense when humans are feeling stressed — just from their sense of smell. a study used samples of human breath and put dogs to the test to see if they could tell the difference between levels of emotion. it's hoped the research could help train service and therapy dogs. our science correspondent, victoria gill, has more. our 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! " really? out the house, yeah. many dog owners will tell you that their pets can sense their mood, but now there's some evidence to suggest they can smell our psychological state. can't you ? this is a stress sniff test devised by scientists. willing pet dogs,

volunteered by their owners, were trained to nose through this canister line—up. each can contains a sample of sweat or breath taken from a person either before orjust after they'd completed a difficult, stress—inducing maths problem. the task — sniff out the stressed person's sample. she's one of our study dogs. she's a three—year—old mixed breed and she's a rescue dog and she's absolutely gorgeous. this is herbert. oh, they do look kind of similar! they do, don't they? having a psychological stress response changes the way that our body is emitting odours, and dogs can detect that change. why was stress of particular interest to you? i think it's just really interesting to kind of confirm that, alongside everything that we're aware of, there are these kind of more subtle cues that we might be emitting that dogs are picking up on. the researchers say their findings could help in the training of service

and therapy dogs, understanding exactly what human scent cues their noses can detect. but the researchers also sniffed out one more reason why people feel so connected to their dogs. victoria gill, bbc news. victoria claims to have the wealth's cutest dog. his name is herbert and you can see him on many social media sites. now the weather. good afternoon. there's been a distinct chill in the air this week but now we look to the atlantic for the other face of autumn weather — gales. gates and heavy rain rolling in on this next area of low pressure. ahead of it through the rest of today, a ridge of high pressure which means there will be fewer showers than recent days. still quite a chill in that northeasterly breeze, one or two showers across central and eastern england, perhaps north—eastern scotland, but for many a lot of dry weather with sunshine. temperatures not too far away from the seasonal average. where the winds are light,

the sunshine will feel pleasant enough but as we go through the evening and overnight, the wind strengthens towards the northwest and we pull in some quite heavy rain by morning to parts of northern ireland and western scotland. ahead of that, it's still going to be chilly with temperatures dropping low enough for a touch of grass frost and perhaps patchy mist and fog which at this time of year will take until nine or ten o'clock in the morning to clear away, so that's the main thing to watch for in the south across england and wales tomorrow but for scotland and northern ireland, a gale—force wind blowing in this rain, even gales across the land, gusts of 60 or 70 mph around the hills and coasts. that will sweep southwards and eastwards through the day so even to the english channel we'll see some gales, perhaps severe gales up through the irish sea and the north and west. then brighter weather with scattered showers follows behind. 13 or 14 once the rain clears, still16 or 17 even with the rain, it's relatively mild atlantic air, but it will be a windy day for the south. it's relatively mild atlantic air,

but it will be a wet and windy windy end to the day in the south. that clears for the start of the weekend then we have our west, north westerly wind throwing showers are away and then this fly in the ointment in southern areas. so plenty of showers rushing in on saturday, particularly the north and west, but in the south it may be that we will see fewer showers because the approach of a weather system later in the day willjust dampen down the activity. and because it's a westerly breeze, not a northerly, 14 to 19, temperatures up and feeling pleasant in the sunshine but then a question mark as to how far north and how much wind and rain we will see on that next weather system moving on through saturday night into sunday before it clears out the way and we got a ridge of high pressure building in behind. so the second part of the weekend at the moment looking a little bit drier across the north, eventually that rain clearing in the south.

this is bbc news. the headlines: the prime minister and chancellor unite in defending their controversial plans to grow the uk economy, despite widespread criticism. we need to look at what would've happened if the government had not taken action. people were facing fuel bills, energy bills, of up to £6,000. we had very high inflation expectations and an economic slowdown. and what we've done is we've taken decisive action. the chancellor was asked if his mini—budget was a disaster. we are focusing on delivering the growth _ we are focusing on delivering the growth plan and make sure with the energy— growth plan and make sure with the energy bills that people right across — energy bills that people right across the country are protected.

one of the most dangerous storms in us history hits florida, damaging buildings and submerging some coastal areas in floodwater. florida's' governor ron desantis says the impact of the damage across the state will set records. the amount of water that has been rising and likely will continue to rise today even as the storms are decreasing, is basically a 500 year flood event. russia announces it's formally annexing four regions of ukraine after referendums there that have been condemned as illegal and illegitimate. and the research which shows dogs can tell when people are stressed — by smelling their sweat and breath.

good afternoon and welcome. the chancellor, kwasi kwarteng, joined the prime minister in digging in to defend their mini—budget, saying the government will stick to its plan to try to boost the uk economy. he's said they will also continue to pursue efforts to help people with their energy bills — despite criticism of the tax cutting schemes he announced last friday. his comments came after liz truss also spoke to the media for the first time in a week to defend her economic policies. she said tax cuts and increased borrowing are "controversial and difficult" decisions, but the "right plan" to get the economy moving. this week the pound fell to a record low against the dollar and yesterday, the bank of england intervened to buy government bonds. our political correspondent leila nathoo reports. prime minister liz truss, who will...| after radio silence since last friday's mini budget, this morning a punishing round of interviews.

liz truss faced eight of the bbc�*s local radio presenters, forced to defend her economic approach. the pound has dropped to a record low. the imf has said you should re—evaluate your policies and the bank of england has had to spend £65 billion to prop up the markets because of what they describe as a material risk. where have you been? liz truss: we had to take urgent i action to get our economy growing, get britain moving. and also deal with inflation. and of course, that means taking controversial and difficult decisions. it was awkward and uncomfortable at times. we're going to spend more - in mortgage fees under what you've done based on the predictions then we would have saved with energy. i i don't think anybody is arguing that we shouldn't have acted on energy. if you make a million you will benefit 55 grand a year from tax cuts. on 20k, like a teaching assistant or a nurse, £157. a couple of people said to me in nottingham, "this is like a reverse robin hood."

that... that simply isn't true. by far the biggest part of the mini... which bit of it? the entirety of what you said. but the tax cuts are disproportionally benefiting the wealthiest. the main message was a government refusing to change course and wanting to focus on support for energy bills rather than tax cuts. it's a difficult time. we're facing a global economic crisis brought about by putin's war in ukraine and what was right is that britain took decisive action to help people get through what is going to be a difficult winter. labour says this is a crisis of the government's own making. they want the budget to be abandoned and for parliament to be recalled. the government has unleashed chaos in the financial markets as a result of the measures announced on friday. this is not something that was imposed on them by external conditions.

it was a reckless act of choice. and for the prime minister now to double down on that in interviews does beg the question, what is more important? saving face for the prime minister and the chancellor, or saving the mortgage payments of millions of people? there is plenty of concern among tory mps, too, about the government's tax—cutting plans. many are concerned about damage to the party's economic credibility, about the politicaljudgments involved, and are questioning whether tax cuts can really generate enough growth. but the government seems confident that in time nerves will be calmed. downing street and the treasury are aiming to hold out almost two more months before announcing their medium—term economic plans. the tory party conference begins this weekend. pressure on the government will continue. leila nathoo, bbc news, westminster. as we mentioned earlier, in the past half hour, the chancellor has given an interview backing the economic plans for growth outlined

in his mini budget last friday. i in his mini budget last friday. am here because we here i am here because we have people here who are very much interested in the growth plan, investment zones, getting people moving, and that is why i'm here, it is a great company with a great history in engineering. i'm very focused on driving investment and growth. in i'm very focused on driving investment and growth. in the last few da s investment and growth. in the last few days we _ investment and growth. in the last few days we have _ investment and growth. in the last few days we have seen _ investment and growth. in the last few days we have seen the - investment and growth. in the last few days we have seen the pound l few days we have seen the pound falling _ few days we have seen the pound falling at — few days we have seen the pound falling at the _ few days we have seen the pound falling at the cost _ few days we have seen the pound falling at the cost of _ few days we have seen the pound falling at the cost of governmentl falling at the cost of government borrowing — falling at the cost of government borrowing rocket, _ falling at the cost of government borrowing rocket, has— falling at the cost of government borrowing rocket, has your- falling at the cost of government borrowing rocket, has your minil borrowing rocket, has your mini budget— borrowing rocket, has your mini budget been— borrowing rocket, has your mini budget been a _ borrowing rocket, has your mini budget been a major— borrowing rocket, has your mini budget been a major economicl budget been a major economic disaster? — budget been a ma'or economic disaster? ~ :, ., , :, , disaster? what we are focusing on is deliverin: disaster? what we are focusing on is delivering the _ disaster? what we are focusing on is delivering the growth _ disaster? what we are focusing on is delivering the growth plan _ disaster? what we are focusing on is delivering the growth plan and i delivering the growth plan and making sure with the things like the energy intervention that people across the country are protected and without great we are not going to get the public services or generate the income and the tax revenue to pay for the public services we want to see and that is why the mini budget was essential in resetting the debate around growth and focusing us on delivering much better growth outcomes for people. one group of people who are seeing

so not much coverage of that for a long time, and then of course the mini budget on friday, and other things tagged on to it. the biggest part of that mini budget which is the help for energy bills, slightly lost, so what they are trying to do is go back in time and say, "remember we are helping millions "of people with all of this." but that is not the controversial bit, the controversial stuff is about the tax cuts. conservatives say to me, people going on about that this is a proper conservative budget because you are cutting taxes, but actually they are underfunded and they are borrowing huge amounts to do so, and that is notjust making the markets queasy, but it is worrying lots of tory mps who are now wondering how they are going to get out of this, because they need the growth in order to pay for these things. i wonder how wise they think it was for liz truss to do a round of interviews with bbc local radio because it has generated a lot of traffic on social media?

yes, but you can't hide forever, ultimately, she has got to come out and defend her policy, and those who have spoken to her says she absolutely believes that this is the right thing to do. she's not going to make a u—turn. so the question for those conservative mps who are worried about what is happening, how do they direct that concern? you will be well aware that not many of them are coming onto the airwaves to vent anger but what i'm hearing from them privately is that they want to be constructive and that the idea of getting rid of a prime minister afterjust three weeks is completely idiotic as one said to me, they could not do that. it would lose them 100 seats, this person predicted. they have to try to make it work and the one thing they do want is the whole package. they want the rest of that mini budget, the bit that was not delivered, with the costings from the office for budget responsibility. it is timed to happen on the 23rd of november and so many people have

said you can't wait until then. it has got to happen sooner. people have got to see the plan for getting debt falling and it should have been done earlier. there are also other announcements. the other part of the growth package is things like workers' visas, planning regulations, but if you think about what that involves, it means more immigration and getting planning reforms through which conservative mps have already blocked, so none of this is going to be easy. meanwhile, the former governor of the bank of england — sir mark carney — has criticised the government for promising tax cuts without proper costings or economic forecasts. he said the plans undermine the bank's efforts to control inflation — and that this had led to "dramatic" moves on the financial markets. here's our economics correspondent, andy verity. today was the day that £65 billion of reassurance wasn't enough to calm markets' nerves. while yesterday traders welcomed the bank of england's intervention

to calm unprecedented volatility in the market for government bonds, by spending a huge sum buying them, this morning investors were again demanding higher interest rates to make up for the risks they now think they're taking lending to the uk government. i mr bailey, will further intervention i by the bank of england be necessary? i can't answer that question i'm afraid. the first public words from the prime minister since the budget on friday didn't do much to reassure the markets. in a highly unusual move, a former governor of the bank of england has now accused the government of undercutting the uk's economic institutions because its heavy borrowing has forced up interest rates. there is a limit to unfunded spending and unfunded tax cuts. the price of those is much higher borrowing costs for the government and for mortgage holders and borrowers up and down the country. and at some point those higher costs of borrowing for everybody undoes the positive impact of any tax reductions. this is a chart that shows

credit default swaps. those are instruments where traders take a view on how creditworthy or not the uk government is to lend money to. or not the uk government and what this chart tells us is that the cost of insuring against the government defaulting on its debt is now about twice what it was a couple of weeks ago, and it has also shot up since friday to levels here that you can see, is higher even than at the beginning of the pandemic. traders are now pricing in the likelihood of a downgrade to the uk government's credit rating within weeks. it may be the case that the rating could be cut to perhaps aa2, so we are moving away from the aaa status that had been the benchmark and the gold standard that the uk had operated underfor most of the post—war period. much like a homeowner whose house price plummets below the amount of the mortgage, pension funds had effectively borrowed from banks to buy long—term government bonds and saw their value halve.

they were being told they would have to come up with more cash immediately which they could only find by selling more bonds, threatening a vicious circle of selling. we have never seen government bond prices fall this far this fast at any point in history. that's caused a lot of stress in the pension market. we have needed to respond to that very quickly and we just can't respond fast enough, and that's why the bank of england's action yesterday was very timely and has given us two weeks' breathing space to catch up. the pound has dropped sharply this month and it dipped again this morning against the dollar and euro. that's hit importers like this bicycle firm that pays its suppliers in dollars. it's really painful. our cost price has effectively increased by nearly 5% in a few hours last week and that's on top of already having gone up by over 20% since january. and because we buy all our bikes in us dollars we are at the whim of the exchange rates. the retailer next has now warned the weak pound will prolong the cost of living crisis,

forcing up the price of clothes it pays for in dollars which are now more expensive to buy in pounds. it says costs are likely to continue rising next year. andy verity, bbc news. the headlines on bbc news... the prime minister and chancellor unite in defending their controversial plans to grow the uk economy, despite widespread criticism. kwasi kwarteng says he is continuing to focus on the growth plan outlined in his mini—budget. one of the most dangerous storms in us history hits florida, damaging buildings and submerging some coastal areas in floodwater — florida's' governor ron desantis says the impact of the damage across the state will set records. the woman accused of killing the teenage motorcyclist harry dunn near an american military base in northamptonshire has appeared in court for the first time, via video link from the united states — ending his family's three—year wait

for criminal proceedings to begin. 19—year—old mr dunn died in a collision outside an raf base in northamptonshire in august 2019. daniel sandford reports it has been a hugely emotional day today, harry dunn's mother and father were here, his step mother and stepfather, his twin brother, and many other members of his wider family, they all came to court. many of them looking exceptionally emotional. for more than three years they have tried to get to the point where the case relating to how he died on that road in northamptonshire would be heard in a british court. and today that process began. we were in court one at westminster magistrates' court, with video screens, and then suddenly there was anne sacoolas, the woman charged with causing his death by dangerous driving, but who left the uk just 19 days after her car ran into his motorbike in a head—on collision.

she stood as the chief magistrate entered the court and then she sat down at the desk with her american lawyer by her side. she was appearing via video link from the us. she was asked to give her full name and she gave that. she was asked to give her date of birth, and then there was a discussion of the address the court had and that was given as her lawyer's office in washington, dc. as often happens with these hearings, it was a brief hearing, just about six minutes, it was agreed the case should go to the central criminal court, the old bailey, on the 27th of october. for now, anne sacoolas will remain in the us and the court was told that the prosecution and the defence will make a joint application that the next hearing at the old bailey should also happen by video link and then the court case was over suddenly and that moment that harry dunn's family had been waiting

forfor so long had happened. they can now believe that there is a court process going on in this country to try to find out whether or not somebody was guilty of causing harry dunn's death by dangerous driving. 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 150mph. the storm saw a hospital roof blown off, cars submerged and trees ripped from the ground. hurricane ian smashed into the west coast of florida with wind speeds of up to 150mph. 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. florida's governor ron desantis has described the flooding as a once in "500 year event". right now, if you look in central florida, you're looking at potential major flooding in orange and several other counties, stjohn's river, all the way up potentially into northeast florida and jacksonville. the amount of water that has been rising and will likely continue to rise today even as the storm is passing is basically a 500 year flood event. i know one county has done evacuations and they have opened shelters but we are going

to see a lot of images about the destruction that was done in south—west florida. we have massive assets there but people should understand that this storm is having broad impacts across the state and some of the flooding you are going to see, in areas hundreds of miles from where this made landfall, it is going to set records, and that will obviously be things that we need to respond to. that was the governor of the state of florida. when did you realise you were going to have to batten down the hatches? we knew at the weekend, but we did not know whether storm is going but we expected where it was coming, —— we expected where it was coming, —— we expected where it was coming, —— we expected it was going to hit us and then we heard at the 11th hour at the storm had moved south and east, so we knew we would be impacted, but less so than

in pennsylvania, he moved to the los angeles suburb of compton when he was a boy. after his parents divorced at the age of ii, 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. aw, here goes! 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. "this is sad news," tweeted the rapper ice cube. mc hammer called coolio, "one of the nicest dudes i've ever known." michelle pfeiffer said she was heartbroken, adding, "i remember him being nothing but gracious." away from his entertainment career, coolio was a lifelong sufferer of asthma, and advocated for those suffering from respiratory diseases. he died on wednesday night at a friend's apartment. no cause of death has been given, but his manager said paramedics believed it may have been cardiac arrest. mark savage, bbc news. joining me now to talk more about the career of coolio is the musicjournalist

and writer, yemi. thanks forjoining us. what set coolio apart in your opinion? his coolio apart in your opinion? h 3 authenticity. he spoke with a lot of his experiences as a child, as the report said, he went through gang life and moved on from that, and he became a fully fledged artist and he dropped his first album, his first big hit, fantastic void, and he had a personality and he had a charisma that a lot of pop culture at the time had not seen. a perfect marriage of street life mixing in with the kind of fun, not taking yourself too seriously but also making it very much ready for pop consumption and pop culture consumption. generally it was the unique mix of him telling a story and also keeping it fun and relatable to a wide audience. having a sense of humour— relatable to a wide audience. having a sense of humour is _ relatable to a wide audience. having a sense of humour is a _ relatable to a wide audience. having a sense of humour is a very - a sense of humour is a very appealing thing to a lot of people,

of streaming, it shows that people who lived through that area and people who came after it, they identify with it in a way that not even rap songs, but songs in general, wish and hope for, basically. i think gangsta's paradise is a song you can put on and you can immediately relate to it and you can immediately relate to it and you can say it has stood the test of time, so more power to it. i remember it the first time. that dates me. thanks forjoining us. russia has announced it is formally annexing four regions of ukraine after discredited 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. our correspondent hugo bachega has the latest from kyiv. there is no surprise here because people have said that this process was a farce and been used by the kremlin as an excuse to go ahead with a land kremlin as an excuse to go ahead with a [and grab and it seems this is likely what is going to happen. president putin signed deals with these four ukrainian region is now partially occupied by russia during major speech tomorrow. there is a parliamentary process to ratify this decision in russia and that is likely to happen early next week. these are likely to happen... western countries have said more economic sanctions will be imposed on the reaction to this decision. here in chief people have told me nothing really changes. they said

this is moscow's reaction to recent military defeats and they will continue with the offensive to take back territory under russian occupation. there is obviously the fear that this could lead to an escalation in this war. moscow may say that these areas are now part of russia and that any who tackled this region could be seen as an attack on russia itself. i'm joined now by grigory yav—linsky, economist and former leader of russian opposition party yabloko. i believe you have family still in ukraine, macon. when you watch is what happening, what is your fault? i think it is a tragedy and it has no real explanations, not from the political point of view, not from the human point of view, whatever. the main feeling is that we're only

the very beginning of the developments which would be from my point of view very, very serious and it is possible to turn into a terrible, terrible development. in ukraine and in russia. what terrible, terrible development. in ukraine and in russia.— terrible, terrible development. in ukraine and in russia. what do you mean by developments? _ ukraine and in russia. what do you mean by developments? i- ukraine and in russia. what do you mean by developments? i mean i ukraine and in russia. what do you i mean by developments? i mean that i am expeetihg — mean by developments? i mean that i am expeetihg the _ mean by developments? i mean that i am expecting the escalation _ mean by developments? i mean that i am expecting the escalation of- mean by developments? i mean that i am expecting the escalation of the i am expecting the escalation of the military conflict in ukraine and to the extent of the opportunity of the nuclear confrontation. tell the extent of the opportunity of the nuclear confrontation.— nuclear confrontation. tell us how the annexation _ nuclear confrontation. tell us how the annexation and _ nuclear confrontation. tell us how the annexation and these - nuclear confrontation. tell us how the annexation and these are i the annexation and these are referendum votes that were held beforehand, are they being reported to the russian people inside russia? it is explained in a very strange way that the russian people are living in ukraine and they are

dissatisfied with the ukrainian system, ukrainian state, ukrainian power. the problem is that russia had no opposition, newspapers, televisions, and the propaganda, the state propaganda together with the fear coming from police measures is very, very strong. it's pressing very, very strong. it's pressing very strongly the people and that is why the big number of people, more than half of people, are completely disorientated and they don't understand what is going on. haifa. understand what is going on. how, then, can opposition _ understand what is going on. how, then, can opposition parties i understand what is going on. how, then, can opposition parties and opposition figures register their concern, their anger and, frankly, their opposition to what peter is doing. of course you can easily

understand the opposition parties are innovatively difficult situation and in fact there is only one opposition party today and in russia it is a democratic party. the problem is that in the situation of such enormous police pressure when a number of people in the party are detained and arrested, the pressure is a very, very high. still we were trying last month to make a kind of campaign against the war but it was supported only in moscow, for example, byi6% supported only in moscow, for example, by i6% of the people, one sixth, i mean. and it shows that the people are really deceived and not prepared at the moment to confront the government on this very, very important issue. we are hearing

today that finland is shutting its border with russia to anyone who doesn't have a shonen tourist visa and we have seen of course many, many people trying to leave russia so not mobilise as part of this, up of russian soldiers —— schengen visa. surely this is the latest quiet opposition to this because they don't want to be involved in they don't want to be involved in the conflict?— the conflict? yes, it is a very contradicted _ the conflict? yes, it is a very contradicted situation i the conflict? yes, it is a very. contradicted situation because the conflict? yes, it is a very i contradicted situation because it is really millions of people having the same time disappointed by what is going on. even if we look at the figures of official statistics you will see that more than 20% of russians are against putin's policy. 20% in the russian situation means

more than 20 million people so it is a big number but the problem is to organise all those people and the so—called mobilisation is making a very big, very strong pressure on the people and a lot of young, educated, energetic citizens are going to leave the country. she said, it is true, but when we hear that some countries are closing their borders, it is difficult to understand how to react on that so it is honestly saying it is on their side to take those decisions but it is difficult to understand how it can be possible to live with 140 million people on the eastern part of europe with nuclear weapons which are isolated from europe.—

are isolated from europe. grigory, former leader _ are isolated from europe. grigory, former leader of _ are isolated from europe. grigory, former leader of russian - are isolated from europe. grigory,| former leader of russian opposition party. now we can take a look at the spot from the bbc sport centre. hello. hello to you again. the wbc heavyweight champion tyson clearly has taken to social media again calling on anthonyjoshua to sign a contract by the end of the day to fight and under some of the third. he said the fight was off earlier this week after his monday deadline wasn't met. there is nothing more to do. everyone _ there is nothing more to do. everyone is happy. get your team onto— everyone is happy. get your team onto mine — everyone is happy. get your team onto mine. they will be available all day _ onto mine. they will be available all day likely been available for the past — all day likely been available for the past two weeks. get your contract _ the past two weeks. get your contract signed today.- the past two weeks. get your contract signed today. well, that has been disputed. _

contract signed today. well, that has been disputed. anthony i contract signed today. well, that i has been disputed. anthony joshua's has been disputed. anthonyjoshua's promoter eddie hearn has responded to via the online saying the fight can still happen but it will not be signed today. probably on monday when fury came out and initially said the fight is not happening we should have really gone out and said, "fair enough, we'll find another fight. " we didn't. we kept trying and we kept moving forward to try and make the fight and we're still doing that today so it is a bit frustrating because, you know, you see those comments and half the comments on this post are people that are slightly more advanced and go i can't make out what this guy is doing one day to the other and other half going, "it's only a bit of paper, eh, j? "just sign it. "

it doesn't work like that. when you talk about an athlete the size of anthonyjoshua with commercial dealings and by the way we have a b—side in his fight whether that is right or wrong because we accepted that position as challenge and we also accepted a day, quite frankly, that was a disadvantage to anthonyjoshua because he isjust going up a fight despite coming off a fight but he is prepared to do it and still prepared to do it. time is coming up on us and we'll want to get it done but i don't understand the deadlines that keep popping when instagram time is coming up on us and we'll want to get it done but i don't understand the deadlines that keep popping up on instagram when these deadlines are not being applied in negotiations, and it doesn't help anyone. rory mcilroy equalling the course record on st andrews old course. six birdies and an eagle on the backline there. not the best of starts with rory mcilroy, though.

great britain's tae kwon do champion was the first british man to win a spot when he won the medal in london in 2012. he followed that up with an agonising silver at the rio olympics in 2017, remember, he was ahead of points in the final round lost in the very last second of that fight. injury ruled him out of the tokyo games this year. he says he now hopes to pursue new opportunities that maximise all of his combat experience. england's white ball cricket captain jos experience. england's white ball cricket captainjos buttler experience. england's white ball cricket captain jos buttler says experience. england's white ball cricket captainjos buttler says he will be fit for the t20 world cup next month. he will be fit for the t20 world cup next month-— will be fit for the t20 world cup next month. , , ., next month. he is with the squad in pakistan this _ next month. he is with the squad in pakistan this month _ next month. he is with the squad in pakistan this month but _ next month. he is with the squad in pakistan this month but he - next month. he is with the squad in pakistan this month but he has i pakistan this month but he has played no part in a seven match series so far there as he nurses a calf problem. yes, my fitness is coming along really well, getting lots of confidence back in the body so, yes, if it was a world cup tomorrow i'd be fit to play but just

responsibility, the independent budget watchdog that does focus on government plans. we hearing now that the cpr government plans. we hearing now that the opr has now been asked by kwasi kwarteng to produce a first draft of its economic forecast by october the 7th. —— ob r. this is in light of the announcements made by government last week around tax cuts and there was criticism there had been no costings done but we won't get a statement about that until the end of november. however, they opr has been written to the chair of the select committee mel stride mp losing the process of producing a forecast by the treasury with his draft. he said given the height of the public interest in the forecast, you don't say, they would publish the timetabling stages of focus process. he said the government is going to announce the fiscal plan

properly on the 23rd november. however, mel stride from the select committee said today this morning on the bbc four today programme that the bbc four today programme that the opr are needed to be brought forward as soon as possible and in fact the opr should have been brought in sooner by the chancellor —— oh b r. greater manchester police have opened a criminal investigation, after a bbc panorama revealed a toxic and abusive culture at one of the uk's biggest mental health hospitals. the edenfield centre near prestwich in manchester — which is run by the nhs — says it was taking the allegations "very seriously", and has taken immediate action to safeguard patients. this report from our social affairs editor alison holt contains some distressing details.

behind the high fences of the medium secure units at edenfield mental health hospital in prestwich and obama's undercover cameras found a toxic culture. ——panorama's undercover cameras found a toxic culture. patients here are vulnerable, sometimes challenging. there's a serious risk they may harm themselves or others. woman wails. what's going on at this hospital by and large isn't working for the patients and it's often actively cruel. the undercover reporter alan haslam went in after whistle—blowers raised concerns. he spent three months as a health care support worker. he saw staff mocking patients... slapping and pinching them... sometimes wards were worryingly understaffed... ..and patients felt failed. this is harley. she is 23, has autism and a history of self—harm. staff say at times she assaults them.

she says she's provoked. the hidden camera shows harley held in a small, bare seclusion room for more than two weeks. there is some good care at the hospital, but the undercover reporter also sees basic care that doesn't always happen, like 15—minute checks on patients. and he sees records for these observations being falsified. they're important for monitoring care and if anything goes wrong. it's a culture that experts warn feels unsafe. i think you're quite clearly seeing toxic staff, and i think there's an awful lot of hostility towards patients across all of the wards. the task of the hospital is the treatment of patients to promote recovery. that's the principal task. well, that task, i think,

is being undermined. the trust which runs the hospital says the allegations will be fully investigated and that it owes it to the communities it serves to ensure the best care every day. a number of staff have been suspended. alison holt, bbc news. you can watch panorama's hospital undercover: patients at risk on bbc iplayer. get the green is the second has been released. ——the death certificate for queen elizabeth ii has been released. held by the national records of scotland, the document confirms she died of old age at ten past three in the afternoon. let's hear more about this from our reporter danjohnson, who i spoke to earlier. in essence this is a public document and same sort of document that

will be created when anybody is born, married or dies so many ways this at the momentjust following the administrative process in essence, this is a public document. it's same sort of document that would be created when anybody�*s born, married or dies, so in many ways this is the monarchjust following the administrative process that every family has to go through in this situation. because she died in scotland, this record of the death has been held by the national records of scotland and they have released an extract of the entry in the register of deaths. so it tells us that the death was registered in aberdeenshire, that elizabeth alexandra mary windsor died on the 8th of september 2022. perhaps the most interesting detail here is that it tells us that the queen died at ten past three that afternoon, and if we go back to the sequence of events that day we know there was a statement at around 12.30 saying that she was unwell, that she was under medical supervision. we know that then prince charles and princess anne were at balmoral castle, which is where she died according to the certificate. they were there at that time but we know that at three o'clock the rest of her family were still

travelling to be with her, so it does seem that this confirms that the queen sadly died without her grandchildren and the rest of her children being at her side. and it tells of the cause of death was old age, but no more detail than that. and princess anne is mentioned on the document as well? yes, it's princess anne who's registered this death, the queen's daughter, so she's had to go to the register office and fill this form, complete those details in the way that any other grieving, bereaved family would have to do in those moments after death. it's a legal requirement that the death is registered within a week. now, there's a curious difference here. apparently, if the queen had died in england, the registration act wouldn't have applied to her because she's the monarch, but that was never enacted in scotland, so we wouldn't have seen this had the queen died in england, most likely. so we're getting a little bit more of an insight into the circumstances around the queen's death that day and the sorts of processes that the royal family has had to go through afterwards. her doctor is named here, and a few other officials who have been involved in this process. it confirms her husband's details. it gives her father and mother's details, that her father was king george vi, deceased. it's spectacular details but on the everyday form that everyone will have seen

whenever anyone's died. i think that for me is what makes it, sort of, really quite touching, dan, that, you know, this is the queen and all of those members of the royal family from past and present, and yet it's the same bit of paperwork that everybody has to fill in. absolutely, yeah. what a leveller. i mean, there's been so much reflection of the queen's life and her amazing service, but, in essence, in administrative terms, it comes down to the same piece of paper that anyone would have. in a world where fraudsters are ever more bold — a new scam has been unearthed by a bbc investigation. it is a fake car dealer website which has already cost victims thousands of pounds. online vehicle fraud is on the rise — and as ashleyjohn baptiste reports it can be brazen and take a terrible toll on the people taken in by it. we get lots of people turning up here.

they come here to basically pick up their new car and there's nothing here. harry runs a small repair garage in fife in scotland, but people turn up expecting to find a big car dealership. this was the couple that drove seven hours with a five—month—old baby, and this is them just realising that it's been a scam. a dealership called auto—promotions ran here for 30 years, but that company hasn't existed since 2008. but its name and address have been used without their consent on this website, which claims to have hundreds of cars for sale. in west yorkshire, pietro thought he'd bought one of the second—hand cars from the auto—promotions website. he transferred almost £11,000, including delivery, but no car has ever turned up. the money was both his and his elderly mum's savings. it's just. . .just devastating, really. you know, such a large amount of money. really, really upsetting to tell you the truth. and especially for my mum's side, you know, just to, sort of, like, take her out, rather than her being homebound all the time.

i've spoken to eight people from across the uk who have parted with thousands of pounds, only to not receive their cars. i've also heard from dozens more who were on the brink of sending money to auto—promotions. to try and find out who's behind the website, i called in one of the bbc�*s data experts, who looked in detail into every part of the website and its footprint on the internet. he discovered that most of the information on the site was taken from elsewhere. the team members were photos of people from across the world with no links to a car dealership, and the car adverts were also borrowed from other websites. it's really sophisticated. i mean, i could have been fooled by it myself. there's a few red flags, but, generally speaking, somebody that's really savvy could easily have fallen for this. last year, there were almost 3,000 reports of online vehicle fraud, up 21% since 2019. and after covid pushed all sorts of previously face—to—face sales

onto the internet, research suggests a third of us would now buy a used car completely online without seeing it. mike andrews, the head of the e—crime team for national trading standards, told us they haven't seen a car dealership website on this scale before and had this advice for consumers. one of the big things we say for consumers when they're buying online is do your research. if you're making any purchase online, don't make the payment by bank transfer. if you pay using your credit card in particular, you've got extra protection. you've still got an enhanced level of protection even if you use a debit card. as a result of our investigation, the police took the website down. but those behind it have not been caught. ashley jean—ba ptiste, bbc news. and you can watch more on that story, now, over on the bbc iplayer. the bbc is cutting

more journalistjobs. 382 posts will be closed on the world service as part of an attempt to save £28.5 million pounds in the bbc�*s international services. there will also be the closure of some programmes altogether, including bbc arabic radio and persian radio. the bbc is trying to make wider savings of £500 million. the saying goes that an englishman's home is his castle — it seems dogs can sense when humans are feeling stressed — just from their sense of smell. a study used samples of human breath and put dogs to the test to see if they could tell the difference between levels of emotion. it's hoped the research could help train service and therapy dogs. our science correspondent, victoria gill, has more. our 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! " really?

out the house, yeah. many dog owners will tell you that their pets can sense their mood, but now there's some evidence to suggest they can smell our psychological state. can't you ? this is a stress sniff test devised by scientists. willing pet dogs, volunteered by their owners, were trained to nose through this canister line—up. each can contains a sample of sweat or breath taken from a person either before orjust after they'd completed a difficult, stress—inducing maths problem. the task — sniff out the stressed person's sample. she's one of our study dogs. she's a three—year—old mixed breed and she's a rescue dog and she's absolutely gorgeous. this is herbert. oh, they do look kind of similar! they do, don't they? having a psychological stress response changes the way that our body is emitting odours, and dogs can detect that change. why was stress of particular interest to you? i think it's just really interesting to kind of confirm that, alongside everything that

we're aware of, there are these kind of more subtle cues that we might be emitting that dogs are picking up on. the researchers say their findings could help in the training of service and therapy dogs, understanding exactly what human scent cues their noses can detect. but the researchers also sniffed out one more reason why people feel so connected to their dogs. victoria gill, bbc news. now it's time for a look at the weather with helen. good afternoon. there's been a distinct chill in the air this week but now we look to the atlantic for the next phase of autumn weather — gales. gales and heavy rain rolling in on this next area of low pressure. ahead of it through the rest of today, a ridge of high pressure which means that there'll be fewer showers than recent days. still quite a chill in that northeasterly breeze, one or two showers across

central and eastern england, perhaps northeast scotland, but for many a lot of dry weather with sunshine. temperatures not too far away from the seasonal average. where the winds are light, the sunshine will feel pleasant enough but as we go through the evening and overnight, the wind strengthens towards the northwest and we pull in some quite heavy rain by morning to parts of northern ireland and western scotland. ahead of that, it's still going to be chilly with temperatures dropping low enough for a touch of grass frost and perhaps patchy mist and fog which at this time of year will take until nine or ten o'clock in the morning to clear away, so that's the main thing to watch for in the south across england and wales tomorrow but for scotland and northern ireland, a gale—force wind blowing in this rain, even gales across the land, gusts of 60 or 70 mph around the hills and coasts. that will sweep southwards and eastwards through the day so even

to the english channel we'll see some gales, perhaps severe gales up through the irish sea and the north and west. then brighter weather with scattered showers follows behind. 13 or 1a once the rain clears, still 16 or 17 even with the rain, it's relatively mild atlantic air, but it will be a wet and windy windy end to the day in the south. that clears for the start of the weekend then we have our west, north westerly wind throwing showers are away and then this fly in the ointment in southern areas. so plenty of showers rushing in on saturday, particularly the north and west, but in the south it may be that we will see fewer showers because the approach of a weather system later in the day willjust dampen down the activity. and because it's a westerly breeze, not a northerly, 1a to 19, temperatures up and feeling pleasant in the sunshine but then a question mark as to how far north and how much wind and rain we will see on that next weather system moving on through saturday night into sunday before it clears out the way and we got a ridge of high pressure building in behind. so the second part of the weekend at the moment looking a little bit

this is bbc news. i'm ben brown. the headlines. the prime minister and chancellor unite in defending their controversial plans to grow the uk economy, despite widespread criticism. i think we have to look at what situation this country would be in if we hadn't acted. people are facing fuel bills, energy bills of up facing fuel bills, energy bills of up to £6,000. we have very high inflation expectations and an economic slowdown. what we've done is taken decisive action. the chancellor, kwasi kwarteng, was asked if his mini—budget was a disaster. what we're focusing on is delivering the growth — what we're focusing on is delivering the growth plan and making sure with

things— the growth plan and making sure with things like _ the growth plan and making sure with things like energy
