2:14 am
because of the votes of that capital with the number like that. so it's going to be a very tough fight for lula to be able to show to the countryside of sao paulo, which is very rich and very important for the brazilian economy, that he can also do a government that would be beneficial to them. bud be beneficial to them. and what's your _ be beneficial to them. and what's your reading - be beneficial to them. and what's your reading of - be beneficial to them. and what's your reading of this run—off now, have lula with 88% of the vote, jair bolsonaro with 43.5, the remained in nine candidates are eliminated, the 9% of the vote is up for grabs, who gets it? 996 of the vote is up for grabs, who gets it?— who gets it? it's difficult because _ who gets it? it's difficult because brazil— who gets it? it's difficult because brazil is - who gets it? it's difficult because brazil is in - who gets it? it's difficult because brazil is in such j who gets it? it's difficult i because brazil is in such a polarised moment, the two candid going to the run—off will have a hard time getting these boats that are so crystallised, people who did not vote for them have a high level of rejection against them, it is more than election where they will have two try to lower the rejection then raise

2:20 am
the british prime minister has admitted her government should have "laid the ground better", before unveiling its plan for major tax cuts, funded by borrowing, which led to days of turmoil on the financial markets. in a bbc interview, liz truss defended the content of the mini—budget, but some prominent conservatives are publicly expressing significant concern. the report by our political editor chris mason contains flashing images. liz truss, facing the music. smile for the cameras. this is what close scrutiny looks like when you are a prime minister and chancellor, especially after the week they've had. a penny for what their whispered small talk was about, after their big joint decisions had huge
2:21 am
consequences. earlier, in a bbc interview, the prime minister's first acknowledgement that she'd made mistakes. i do want to say to people that i understand their worries about what has happened this week, and i do stand all by the package we announced, and i stand by the fact that we announced it quickly, because we had to act, but i do accept we should have laid the ground better. i have learnt from that, and i will make sure that in future we do a betterjob of laying the ground. one element of the budget plans that angers many conservative mps is the tax cuts for the very highest earners, and so there is an obvious question. are you absolutely committed to abolishing the 45p tax rate | for the wealthiest - people in the country? yes, and it's part, laura, it is part of an overall package of making our tax system simpler and lower. but i think it's worth noting, in the package we announced, you the vast majority of that
2:22 am
package is the energy package. an energy package costing billions but overshadowed by the tax cuts. did you discuss scrapping the top rate with your whole cabinet? no, no, we didn't. it was a decision that the chancellor made. cabinet isolated from what was coming, a prime minister isolated after what came next. market turmoil and the pound plunging almost as fast as the confidence of conservative mps. watching, with his verdict on what he'd heard, a familiar face, no fan of liz truss, who is still not convinced. the sheer risk of using borrowed money to fund tax cuts, that is not conservative. to have as your principal decision the headline tax move, "cutting tax for the wealthiest", that is a display of the wrong values.
2:23 am
chanting. it's not unusual for left—wing protesters to rather noisily articulate their opposition to the conservatives outside their conference, but what is striking this year is there are blunt voices of opposition to the prime minister inside, too. tonight, another intervention from another former cabinet minister, who told me the cut in tax for the richest is so unpopular, mps will reject it. the problem is, and i noticed this talking to my constituents this weekend, that what they are seeing is money being borrowed in order to fund tax cuts for the better off, whilst they themselves are having to, for example, take on a second shift, anotherjob, in order to pay for the rise in interest rates and mortgage rates. but let's not muddy the water with this other thing, this tax cut for wealthy people right now, when the priority needs to be done everyday households. in yourjudgment, will the prime minister be able to get these budgetary measures through the house of commons? no, unfortunately, and really
2:24 am
this is the backstop, i don't think the house is in a place where it's likely to support that. how helpful is it to intervene publicly now, so soon after a new prime minister has taken office? i mean this to be entirely helpful. there is a way through this but the way through isn't to put fingers in the ear, tin ears, and just push on. not yet a month in the job, liz truss' first party conference as prime minister is anything but a honeymoon. in the next few days here, she will need to douse her party and the country in bucketfuls of reassurance. chris mason, bbc news, in birmingham. back— news, in birmingham. to back news, in birmin-ham. to the situation in brazil. back to the situation in brazil. lt— back to the situation in brazil. , ., ., ., , brazil. it is going to a second round run-off _ brazil. it is going to a second round run-off between - brazil. it is going to a second round run-off between the i brazil. it is going to a second i round run-off between the two round run—off between the two main candidates. i got a sense from what we heard from lewis ignacio da silva, he was having to buy up his own camp again.
2:25 am
absolutely, the polls going into the first round of the election did suggest it was possible that lula da silva might get 50% of the vote, win outright, he got 48%, so just short of that majority. so it will be a bruising second round againstjair bolsonaro, in against jair bolsonaro, in which againstjair bolsonaro, in which bolsonaro can rightly claim that the polls underestimated his support, he did better than expected, but he is still almost 5% behind lula da silva heading into the second round, so it will be a bruising campaign. you can expect president bolsonaro to claim everything is rigged against him, and he and lula da silva will be fighting for that very few percentage of voters who voted for other candidates in this first round, david. laura, thanks very much indeed for that.
2:26 am
laura, thanks very much indeed forthat. fourweeks, laura, thanks very much indeed for that. four weeks, then, for them to battle it out in terms of campaigning, before the second round of the election, which we will of course bring you here on bbc news. goodbye for now. hello. quite a chilly start for some of us on monday, with the light winds and clearing skies overnight. very different to how the weather is going to be overall in the week ahead. in fact, we are expecting strong winds and spells of heavy rain. back to the here and now. briefly, high pressure on top of england and wales. that has led to the calm conditions, and in fact, at six o'clock in the morning on monday, in some spots in the countryside, temperatures could be just a couple of degrees above freezing. compare that to, say, 10 degrees in western parts of scotland, where we have more of a breeze off the atlantic, and that's ahead of this weather front, which will spread across northern ireland and scotland later on in the day and monday, but elsewhere, right from the word go and then
2:27 am
through the afternoon, it is going to be a mostly bright day and quite a warm one, too. 19 in london, 17 in liverpool, but where we have the thick cloud and the outbreaks of rain, it will be closer to 14 or 15. but you can see that this weather front doesn't make much progress southwards as we go through monday evening, in fact, most of that weather just sweeps towards the north and the east. come tuesday morning, some western and northern areas of england and wales will get some rain, as this rain pulls away from scotland and northern ireland on tuesday. but with this weather front come south—westerly winds, quite warm winds, so look at the temperatures, 20 degrees in norwich and london, where it should stay bright. now i want to focus also on tuesday night into wednesday. this weather front will spawn a separate area of low pressure, quite a nasty low pressure, which will sweep across the uk during the course of wednesday. a lot of isobars there, so some very strong winds and a very gusty weather front, as it moves across the uk. gales, notjust around coasts, but inland, too, 50 may be even 60 mph, and on top of
2:28 am
that there will be a lot of heavy rain. northern wales, the north west of england, south—western scotland, where we could get up to 100 millimetres of rain through tuesday and wednesday combined. and then thursday, that low pressure is in scandinavia, but in its wake, we have strong atlantic winds, which will continue to push in showers. the showers will mostly affect scotland and northern ireland. in fact, the further south you are, the better the weather will be, and with those warm south—westerly winds, for example in london most days, temperatures will be not far off 20 degrees. bye— bye.

this is bbc news. i'm david eades. the headlines: brazil's presidential election will be settled in a second—round run—off vote on the 30th of october. neither the left wing challenger, luiz inacio lula da silva, nor the right—wing incumbent, jair bolsonaro, were able to gain the 51% of the vote required secure a first—round victory. indonesian authorities are investigating the death of 125 football fans killed in a stadium. thousands of fans panicked and rushed for an exit after police fired tear gas at them when they invaded the pitch.
