insisting deregulation and very large tax cuts funded by borrowing is in her view the only way to get kick—start economic growth and stave off a deep recession. there is a little tory party members to get their heads around. and as we reported, there is clearly a lot of concern within the parliamentary party about what is happening. michael gove, the first and clearly the most prominent conservative mp to break cover today and says that parts of that plan are in his view completely misguided. and there is clearly pressurising canal on liz truss and kwasi kwarteng at least to rethink their decision to abolish the top rate of income tax. that is where a lot of the discontent will focus. we will hear from kwasi kwarteng tomorrow, a big event in birmingham on monday. but the economy is not the only thing that the tory party members and mps are talking about. there was an

interesting intervention this evening from steve baker, who've causes a prominent brexiteer, a leading member of the european —— european research group of tory mps, now a minister in northern ireland and he said this about the uk's relationship with ireland and the eu early on. as one of the people who perhaps acted with the most ferocious determination to get the uk out of the eu. i think we have to bring some humility to the situation. and it's with humility that i want to accept and acknowledge that i and others did not always behave in a way which encouraged ireland and the european union to trust us to accept that they have legitimate interests. legitimate interests that we are willing to respect, because they do and we are willing to respect them. and i'm sorry about that, because relations with ireland are not where they should be and we will have to work extremely hard to improve them. and i know that we are doing so. and when we look at some of the

challenges the tories are facing, the polls are not bringing good news to their door either. he. the polls are not bringing good news to their door either.— to their door either. no, the polls are wretched, _ to their door either. no, the polls are wretched, if _ to their door either. no, the polls are wretched, if you _ to their door either. no, the polls are wretched, if you are - to their door either. no, the polls are wretched, if you are a - are wretched, if you are a conservative right now. their poll numbers have plunged, especially in the last week. labour has i think a lead over the conservative party it has not had for about 20 years and it was the labour party at their conference last week in the little that head —— had a huge spring in its death. it is dawning on people here that if they have any chance of holding on and winning the next election in around two years, there is an appeal battle ahead of them. i think there are a lot ofjitters about whether they are on the right track or not. notjust on the economic question, which is clearly going to be central, but issues such as fracking as well. part of the liz truss, kwasi kwarteng reform agenda forgetting growth, they have decided to lift the ban on fracking. there is disquiet within the tory party about that and labour have certainly said that is not the right way to

go. there is a lot of controversy in british politics at the moment and conservatives are worried, i think critically around whether or not their economic red ability has been shot and how they start to rebuild it for some as i said, not very long to go until voters have their next say. to go until voters have their next sa . �* ., ., , ., to go until voters have their next sa. ., ., say. before we leave you, any murmurings — say. before we leave you, any murmurings that _ say. before we leave you, any murmurings that you - say. before we leave you, any murmurings that you have - say. before we leave you, any i murmurings that you have picked say. before we leave you, any - murmurings that you have picked up as to what took place today, it has been described as the prime minister throwing her chancellor under the bus. it throwing her chancellor under the bus. . , throwing her chancellor under the bus. ., , ., throwing her chancellor under the bus. ., ., ., throwing her chancellor under the bus. it was part of laura bassett vs interview with _ bus. it was part of laura bassett vs interview with liz _ bus. it was part of laura bassett vs interview with liz truss, _ bus. it was part of laura bassett vs interview with liz truss, when - bus. it was part of laura bassett vs| interview with liz truss, when laura asked the prime minister about the decision to axe the 45p rate and whether or not the cabinet had discussed it, and liz truss said very tersely the cabinet were not consulted and then she said it was a decision for the chancellor. which was i thought rather appointed name check for her downing street neighbour and led some to think she could be effectively attempting to throw him under a bus. i don't think

thatis throw him under a bus. i don't think that is right. i think they are bound together invest new economic strategy. if that unravels, then they are both in trouble. qm. strategy. if that unravels, then they are both in trouble. 0k, we will see what _ they are both in trouble. 0k, we will see what the _ they are both in trouble. 0k, we will see what the week - they are both in trouble. 0k, we will see what the week brings. l they are both in trouble. 0k, we - will see what the week brings. thank you very much. and we'll find out how this story, and many others, are covered in tomorrow's front pages at 10:30 and 11:30 this evening in the papers — our guestsjoining me tonight are tony grew, parliamentary journalist and the broadcaster and journalist caroline frost. 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 who had invaded the pitch. it happened in malang, on the island ofjava. a warning that you might find parts ofjonathan head's report distressing. videos posted by fans at the stadium in malang 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. there were running skirmishes with the police, who then decided to fire tear gas, which drifted into the stands, causing the above capacity crowd to surge 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. the indonesian president, joko widodo, ordered an immediate investigation and for all premier league matches to be suspended. i hope this will be the last

tragedy of this kind in our country, he said. 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 cop climate summit in egypt are "simply untrue". buckingham palace conformed today that the king will not be attending the summit after seeking advice from downing street and there was agreement he should not attend. 0ur royal correspondent, sarah campbell, has more. 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. later that month, prince charles travelled to egypt, the location of cop27. the united kingdom will be with egypt as your friend and partner in this epic struggle to protect and restore our environment. it was widely presumed that the king would want to attend cop27 but buckingham palace has said that will not be the case. the sunday times quoted a senior palace source who said the prime minister advised the king to go. this has been dismissed today as mp not true by a government minister. instead, both the palace and government now say there was agreement on both sides and it was unanimously decided he should not attend cop27. much has changed over the past year, as he made plain in his first address to the nation as king. there are new roles and responsibilities,

meaning less time to devote to issues he cares passionately about. that will not stop him supporting environmental causes, according to a former adviser. he will make those views known to people when he can but he will do it in a different way than he did it as prince of wales and that is perfectly clear and the fact he will not be in egypt probably gives a very strong signal that he recognises the difference. early in his reign, this has shown the delicate balancing act required. the headlines on bbc news... the prime minister admits her government should have better communicated before the mini budget that sparked turmoil on the financial markets — and insists they'll be no u—turn

on axeing the top rate of income tax. meanwhile, at the conservative party conference, the northern ireland minister steve baker has apologised for showing a lack of understanding to his irish and eu counterparts when making the case for brexit. brazilians are voting in the first round of an election which has seen a bitter campaign between past and present presidents. brazil's two main presidential contenders have cast their votes in one of the most consequential elections for the country in decades. the right wing incumbent, jair bolsonaro, has been trying to fight off a strong challenge from his socialist rival, luiz inacio lula da silva. mr lula da silva said he was running in order to get the country back to normal, without hate and discord.

beach and a sometimes. he wants a return to normal, as lula da silva says. but behind all of that, potentially a threat even to brazil upon the s democratic process. bolsonaro has suggested he might not accept the result were he to lose. he had suggested without evidence that the anatomic voting machines could be rigged against him. all eyes are on the first round of the election to see if one candidate can win outright or if it goes to a second round at the end of october, but already, there is tension and in sao paulo today, two police officers were shot as a man entered a bow thing —— voting booth and fired at them. thing -- voting booth and fired at them. ~ ., , ., thing -- voting booth and fired at them. ~ ., i. ., thing -- voting booth and fired at them. ~ ., ., ,. , them. what you are describing was somethin: them. what you are describing was something that _ them. what you are describing was something that was _ them. what you are describing was something that was seen _ them. what you are describing was something that was seen on - them. what you are describing was something that was seen on the i something that was seen on the christ the redeemer statue, really illustrating just how much concern there is about what has been described as institutional crisis in brazil. i believe there was a message that was projected on the

statue, saying piece in the elections. as there been any indication of an appetite amongst brazilians for this type of disruption that stubble is in our is already talking about? that he is going to say that there has not —— these elections have not been fair. i think brazilians are very alarmed and everybody i spoke to today as they were voting is hoping that there is a clear result in his first round, that someone wins with 50% of the vote, whichever side of the political equation you are on. what people don't want is a long and drawn—out uncertain process with a run—off between the top two candidates, bolsonaro and lula da silva and voting in four weeks' time. it seems that a military coup on behalf of bolsonaro is not something that is expected senior generals have indicated they would not back those attempts to stay in

power. but maybe more of a january the 6th style uprising, webb both narrow encourages his supporters to go to the streets, that is what brazilians are worried about —— both narrow. the results will be coming through and the watching. titer? through and the watching. very ruickl , i through and the watching. very quickly, i believe _ through and the watching. very quickly, i believe that - through and the watching. very quickly, i believe that a - through and the watching. very quickly, i believe that a negotiated exit is something that bolsonaro would prefer if it did get to that. why is that?— would prefer if it did get to that. wh is that? , , ., , ., ., why is that? this is a question over all of it, why _ why is that? this is a question over all of it, why he _ why is that? this is a question over all of it, why he would _ why is that? this is a question over all of it, why he would be _ why is that? this is a question over all of it, why he would be building l all of it, why he would be building up all of it, why he would be building up to suggest that the election is contested and why he would be wanting his supporters on the street, and some political observers say it is because he and members of his family could be accused of having behaved correctly while in office and that perhaps all of this is to some degree —— corruptly. then

he could arrange some freedom of prosecution. that is the interpretation of what he may doing. a man is due to appear in court tomorrow, charged with the murder of nine—year—old 0livia—pratt—korbel, who was shot at her home in liverpool in august. 34—year—old thomas cashman from west derby, has also been charged with the attempted murder of 0livia's mother cheryl and joseph nee, who he's alleged to have chased into 0livia's home. judith moritz reports. it's six weeks since 0livia 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, 3a, from grenadier drive, west derby, with the murder of nine—year—old 0livia pratt—korbel, also the attempted murder ofjoseph nee and cheryl korbel on the 22nd of august 2022. 0livia 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 0livia's mum cheryl had opened, wanting to see why there was so much noise outside. 0livia's death has shattered the community where she lived. another man, ao—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. 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. meanwhile in prees, log seller richard evans says this year is his busiest in a decade of trading as people with open fires stock up. normally, we would start deliveries approximately now — end of september, running into october. this year, it started on the first week ofjuly and it went absolutely crazy and it has not stopped since. he's increased prices slightly but not enough,

he says, to cover his soaring electricity costs. joanne writtle, 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 100 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. now it's time for a look at the weather with darren bett.

hello there. for most of us, what's left of sun will be dry and there'll be some spells of sunshine. these are the temperatures come the end of the afternoon. more of a breeze across the north west of scotland, bringing one or two light showers here. those will get moved away. and with clear skies and light winds, temperatures will fall very quickly overnight. western area is probably turning more cloudy later on, but it's going to be colder for eastern scotland, eastern england and into the midlands. those are the temperatures in towns and cities, but in the countryside it's going to be colder than that. we could see temperatures as low as two or three degrees. that will be the coldest night over the week ahead. we've got cloud and wind coming in to scotland and northern ireland, gales in the northwest later and that's where we're going to find most of the rain. england and wales quieter after that chilly start, dry some hazy sunshine at times. and those temperatures still getting up to 18 or 19 degrees. looks like it could be quite a mild week ahead, but it will be windy. and whilst there's not much rain in the south east, other parts of the uk will see some

rain at times.
