mp to break cover, and saying that some parts of that packet he does not think should fly, they should be scrapped, in particular the 45p top rate of income tax, which the chancellor wants to get rid of, michael gove clearly think that is a mistake in the big question now knocking wrong this conference is how many other tory mps agree with him and what they can do it in the weeks ahead. people are drifting off for dinner and heading to the bars and be one of the main topics of conversation. it is notjust about what happens of course in the tv studios. there are a lot of events going on around this conference and in the last hour, there was a really interesting sort of intervention from steve baker, who causes a prominent brexiteer, led the backbench erg group of tories during all the brexit arguments, he is now all the brexit arguments, he is now a minister at the northern ireland office and this is what he had to say about relations between the uk and ireland and the eu now. $5 say about relations between the uk and ireland and the eu now. as one ofthe and ireland and the eu now. as one of the people _ and ireland and the eu now. as one of the people who _ and ireland and the eu now. as one of the people who perhaps -

full of bounce last week when they met in liverpool. they feel that the claim to be the party of economic credibility, fiscal responsibility, has now passed to them and i think what will be endorsing tomorrow when kwasi kwarteng, the chancellor, makes a speech as to the —— the extent as to how much he tries to fight back. he needs to try and fresh out what the government possibly has growth strategy means, notjust in terms of tax cuts but in terms of the regulatory reforms, planning reforms and other things he thinks can produce the kind of growth that he and liz truss are promising. what he says though needs to be very careful because he cannot risk frightening the markets again, as he did a few days ago. and he has got to win over the hearts and minds of tory mps, who as i said a little while ago, are very concerned that they have embarked this government on a risky strategy on a promising tax cuts for the wealthy at a time where everyone is feeling the cost of living crisis and there is a lot

of living crisis and there is a lot of nervousness about that and as you pointed out, the polls suggesting at the moment there is a mountain to climb if the tories want to get into contention for the next election in two years' time. isaute contention for the next election in two years time-— two years' time. we will live -- leave it there _ two years' time. we will live -- leave it there for _ two years' time. we will live -- leave it there for now. - two years' time. we will live -- leave it there for now. thank i two years' time. we will live -- i leave it there for now. thank you. in indonesia, at least 125 people have been killed in a stampede at a football stadium which began after police fired tear gas at fans that had invaded the pitch. it happened in milan. you may fade —— may find parts of this report distressing. videos posted by fans at the stadium in milan showed the disaster unfolding almost as it happened. it had been a hard fought match between two teams with a history of rivalry. the home side had lost and some of its fans streamed onto the pitch in protest. they were running skirmishes with the police, who then decided to fire tear gas, which

drifted into the stands, causing the above capacity crowd to search for the exits. that is where many of them were crushed. unconscious fans were carried out of the stadium to the ambulances which had begun arriving to get them to hospital. this survivor described choking on tear gas. it was everywhere, he said, inside and outside the stadium, even in the shops and stalls nearby. indonesian president ordered and in view —— immediate investigation and for all premier league matches to be suspended. translation: i hope this will be the last tragedy of this kind in our country. outside the stadium, the burnt shells of police trucks bore witness to the anger of the crowd. indonesian football has long been troubled by fans violence and poor management. but the way the police handled the crowd trouble in malang,

in particular the use of tear gas inside a packed stadium, must be the main focus of this investigation. a minister has said suggestions that the government ordered the king not to travel to next month's climate summit in egypt are simply untrue. buckingham palace confirmed today that the king will not be attending the summit after seeking advice from downing street and there was agreement he should not attend. in november of last year, the then prince charles was a conspicuous presence when the un climate change conference, cop26, was held in glasgow. it was hardly surprising, he had been raising the issue for discussion long before climate change became a prominent critical concern. laterthat change became a prominent critical concern. later that month, change became a prominent critical concern. laterthat month, prince charles travelled to egypt, the location of cop27. the charles travelled to egypt, the location of cop27.— location of cop27. the united kinudom location of cop27. the united kingdom will _ location of cop27. the united kingdom will be _

died in a stampede at an entity —— indonesian football match after police tear gas pitch invaders. brazil's two main residential contenders have cast their votes and one of the most consequential elections for the country in decades. bolsonaro has been trying to fight off a strong challenge from lula da silva. lula da silva says he was running in order to get the country back to normal and without hate and discord. let's cross to copacabana beach. welcome to a very windy rio de janeiro. one where people are voting with great enthusiasm. i went past three different polling stations this morning and everybody was out

and about and voting is compulsory in brazil, but nonetheless, it seemed like an extremely busy turnout for a sunday morning. hanging over this election, the question of whether bolsonaro, the incumbent, will accept the result if he loses. and he said just before he voted that he would win if this were a clean election. he has been casting doubt on the reliability of the electronic voting machines. all the electronic voting machines. all the while trailing in the polls to his rival, lula da silva, the former president, who is attempting what would be a stunning critical comeback as he was in jail for years ago on corruption charges. that conviction was subsequently annulled and he was released. we can now discuss what might happen with a professor of philosophy at the university in rio dejaneiro. you have written a book about the bolsonaro political movement. when he says that it is not a clean election, if he doesn't win 60% of

the vote, is he getting ready to consist this result?— consist this result? certainly caettin consist this result? certainly getting ready _ consist this result? certainly getting ready to _ consist this result? certainly getting ready to try - consist this result? certainly i getting ready to try uncontested. consist this result? certainly - getting ready to try uncontested. he has been selling doubts about the electoral system for quite a while now. since in fact the 2018 elections, in order to build the congest —— conditions among his social base to contest the election if need be. whether that is going to work with other political forces and even the military depends on how far he is well into go and how far people are willing to go with him. people that i have spoken to, including the former foreign minister, don't think there will be a military code. they think if anything it will be supporters of bolsonaro coming onto the streets. what do you think?— bolsonaro coming onto the streets. what do you think? yes, it certainly looks like the _ what do you think? yes, it certainly looks like the most _ what do you think? yes, it certainly looks like the most likely _ what do you think? yes, it certainly looks like the most likely result i what do you think? yes, it certainly looks like the most likely result at l looks like the most likely result at this point but if he can keep it up sometime and if the disruption they

extraordinary political figure. and the fact is that people, lots of people, still have very fond memories of his government and when you compare that to what had been a disastrous four years and every sense, institutional, protocol, economic, environmentaland sense, institutional, protocol, economic, environmental and in terms of brazil's international standing, it is not that surprising that people would be willing to give him another chance.— people would be willing to give him another chance. thank you so much for that analysis. _ another chance. thank you so much for that analysis. today _ another chance. thank you so much for that analysis. today is _ another chance. thank you so much for that analysis. today is the - for that analysis. today is the first round of voting any presidential election. the question is, does one candidate get more than 50% of the vote? if so, they have won the election for if not, there is a run—off at the end of october and that is what many brazilians i have spoken to don't want. they don't want uncertainty, they don't want this election to the contested, they don't want bolsonaro to say it was rigged. all eyes are on the margins once we get the results tonight in brazil. thank you very much for that. a man

is due to appear in court tomorrow charged with the murder of nine—year—old olivia pratt—korbel, who was shot at a home in liverpool in august. 34—year—old thomas cashman from west derby has also been charged with the attempted murder of olivia's mother and joseph nee, who he is alleged to have chased into their home. it's six weeks since olivia pratt—korbel was killed — six weeks of her family grieving... i feel i'm on it as well. ..and the police hunting for the gunman responsible. at last, a breakthrough, announced at a hastily arranged media conference. the crown prosecution service has authorised merseyside police to charge thomas cashman, 34, from grenadier drive, west derby, with the murder of nine—year—old olivia pratt—korbel, also the attempted murder ofjoseph nee and cheryl korbel on the 22nd

of august 2022. olivia was shot when a gunman burst into her home in the liverpool suburb of dovecot in august. he'd been chasing another man when they both ran through the front door, which olivia's mum cheryl had opened, wanting to see why there was so much noise outside. olivia's death has shattered the community where she lived. another man, 40—year—old paul russell, has also been charged in connection with the shooting, accused of assisting an offender. both men will appear at liverpool magistrates court on monday. judith moritz, bbc news. a leading expert in infectious diseases has said the uk's fight against the monkeypox virus is looking "very positive". professor neil ferguson said vaccines and vigilance have helped to drive down the number of cases from its peak injuly — to below a hundred new infections a week. our global health correspondent naomi grimley has more. painful lesions, long self—isolation

periods and queues for vaccines. for many men who have sex with men, the monkey pox outbreak has caused huge worry, and even triggered a worldwide public health emergency as cases multiplied on a scale not seen it before. sam, who has asked us to keep his identity private, fell ill with the virus in the first few weeks of the outbreak. since then, he's noticed a change in the social scene he's part of. lots of gay men are having a lot less sex, and are having sex with less people. some people i know have been avoiding going out to places like sex clubs. the idea of going out, meeting lots of people in the dark, and then you not swapping contact details with them, i think people are just thinking a bit about how much risk they are willing to take on. after an initial cluster of infections in the spring, the uk saw a steady crescendo in new cases throughout the early

summer, but a peak was reached injuly and since then cases have been falling again. other european countries like france and germany have followed this pattern. at the moment, everything is looking very positive. one of britain's top infectious disease experts who has also been advising the government thinks the latest data is good news. we are not completely sure of exactly why, vaccination started to be rolling out probably had some effect but it does not explain it all. the likely hypothesis, and there is some circumstantial data but not good data, is that there was quite a big change in behaviour in the most affected community, namely men who have sex with men, gay and bisexual men. are we now at a point where we can wipe our brow and think, this is not going to become endemic? if it is going to persist it will probably persist

at sporadic levels. we should not be complacent. if it has been driven mostly by behaviour change that we have to be alert to the possibility that once case numbers are much lower may people are less vigilant and we start to see a resurgence. the uk says it is ready to start giving second doses of the monkey pox vaccine to those at high risk. sexual health services are still under huge pressure, but the wider picture is looking hopeful. naomi grimley, bbc news. the cost—of—living crisis is hitting people living in rural areas harder than those living in towns and cities, according to a new report. the rural services network, says people in the countryside are spending more on essentials like heating, transport and housing. joanne writtle has more. like many rural villages, welshampton, near ellesmere, doesn't have mains gas. great—grandad ian fletcher relies on heating oil, and the price has shot up. we've no other alternative. we've got to buy the oil or we freeze, basically,

and can't cook. so, we've got to make sure we have the oil in at all times. he gets a small discount through a community bulk—buying scheme and has solar panels. the government has said householders off the gas grid will receive £100. the north shropshire mp says that's not enough, as oil prices have doubled in a year. for an average household, that's about £1,200 more and the government have only offered them £100, which isn't going to be enough to meet that challenge. and if we look at the impact of last friday's budget, where sterling has collapsed and oil is traded in dollars, there's a risk that those prices are going to go even higher over the next few weeks. so, you're saying a £100 payment isn't enough but where would the money come from to pay for more? well, we'd like to see the energy price cap extended to people who are off—grid, and we've been very clear that we'd like to see that paid for with a windfall tax. the department for business and energy told us further details will be announced shortly.
