6:00 am
good morning, welcome to breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. our headlines today. "we must stay the course". that'll be the message from the chancellor to the conservative party conference today but there's growing opposition to his plans from his own mps. after a turbulent reaction to the chancellor's tax cuts, he'll try to persuade mps his plan will grow britain's economy, creating jobs, higher wages and more money for public services. a man will appear in court in liverpool today charged with the murder of nine—year—old olivia pratt—korbel. remembering our own bill turnbull. wycombe wanderers pays tribute to one of the club's biggest fans.
6:01 am
in sport, how haaland helped himself to another hat trick in city's humiliating defeat of rivals united on derby day. as the goals come, so do the records. good morning. start across scotland and northern ireland but increasing amounts of cloud and rain and strengthening winds, england and wales have a cool start with hazy sunshine and a few showers. all of the details later in the programme. it's monday 3rd october. our main story. pressure is growing on the prime minister to reconsider her plan to scrap the top rate of income tax, after several senior conservatives criticised the move. today, the chancellor will use his conference speech to insist the government will "stay the course" on its economic plans. here's our political correspondent ben wright. good morning, chancellor. it was his plan for debt—funded tax cuts that threw financial markets
6:02 am
into turmoil last week and has caused some panic in the tory party. but today the chancellor will echo his boss and insist there'll be no change of course. kwasi kwarteng will tell the conservative conference that the government's new strategy is the only way to deliver higher wages, morejobs and extra cash for public services. mr kwarteng is expected to say, "we must stay the course. i am confident the government's plan is the right one." the chancellor will also promise an iron—clad commitment to fiscal discipline. the financial markets will be listening to every word as the chancellor tries to convince them he has a credible plan for the economy. but while many tories support the strategy, there is also deep concern. behind the scenes, senior ministers are trying to persuade doubtful tory mps the strategy makes economic and political sense. they have their work cut out. the plan to cut the top 45p rate
6:03 am
of income tax for the highest earners has prompted the most criticism from opposition parties and some conservatives. after the former cabinet minister michael gove said borrowing billions of pounds to pay for tax cuts was not conservative, another senior tory mp went further. the former transport secretary, grant shapps, a prominent backer of rishi sunak during the tory leadership contest, told the bbc the prime minister would not be able to get the plan to abolish the top rate of tax through parliament. let's not muddy the water with this other thing, this tax cut for wealthy people right now when the priority needs to be on everyday households. in yourjudgment, will the prime minister be able to get these budgetary measures through the house of commons? no, unfortunately, and really this is the backstop. i don't think the house is in a place where it's likely to support that. there's a way through this. but the way through isn't to put fingers in the ear, tin ears, and just push on.
6:04 am
privately other tory mps are saying the same. conservative party bosses have said anyone voting against their plan would lose the party whip in parliament. and despite the criticism, the government sounds determined to stick to its plan. ben wright, bbc news, birmingham. our political correspondent nick eardley is at the conservative party conference in birmingham. good morning. it is interesting looking at the papers this morning, quite a lot of speculation that may be that top rate of tax change, there could be some kind of change that in turn, what are you hearing? i think there's going to be a government u—turn on this today, jon, probably within the next hour or so. when we have got the chancellor on bbc breakfast later on, i will expect him to say that the government has rethought its plans to cut the top rate tax to a0
6:05 am
p plans to cut the top rate tax to a0 p and will no longer go ahead with the plan. i have been speaking to people in government and nobody is actually officially commenting on this but that is my expectation, that we are about to see a colossal government u—turn. it was only this time yesterday that the prime minister was on bbc one with laura kuenssberg saying, she absolutely stood by the decision to cut the top rate of tax. there are two things, the level of opposition within the conservative party has been so great that quite frankly, liz truss was facing the prospect of losing the vote on this in parliament. and secondly, i think a political narrative had set in, that by cutting the top rate of tax for people earning over £150,000 and at the same time potentially not putting benefits up at the same rate of inflation which means a real terms cut, the conservatives were
6:06 am
going to be seen as making decisions that benefited the rich, rather than the most vulnerable in society. for that reason, within the next hour, and later on bbc breakfast, i will expect the chancellor to say he has had a rethink.— had a rethink. wow! that is the case, had a rethink. wow! that is the case. where — had a rethink. wow! that is the case, where does _ had a rethink. wow! that is the case, where does that - had a rethink. wow! that is the case, where does that leave . had a rethink. wow! that is the l case, where does that leave him, where does that leave liz truss? they were absolutely adamant this was going ahead? you they were absolutely adamant this was going ahead?— they were absolutely adamant this was going ahead? you are right, jon, i not to be was going ahead? you are right, jon, i got to be honest _ was going ahead? you are right, jon, i got to be honest when _ was going ahead? you are right, jon, i got to be honest when i _ was going ahead? you are right, jon, i got to be honest when i heard - was going ahead? you are right, jon, i got to be honest when i heard this | i got to be honest when i heard this last night, it was a bit of a jaw dropper. because every night before the speeches from the big politicians at these conferences, we get through a trail which basically gives us what they are going to say, an idea of it. kwasi kwarteng �*s, the chancellor �*s was about how he was sticking with the plan, determined to see it through. not a big part of it, it seems, that decision to cut the top rate of income tax. let's see the details of
6:07 am
exactly what he says when he he is on the show later because we will be unpicking the details and they may well matter. i think by the end of the day we will hear people suggesting that this u—turn will be humiliating for liz truss and that is a fair point to make. the broader context is that she has any been in office for a month, we were only waiting for her to take over a month ago, and in that time, the big economic decision she had made, those bold choices, the things she said she was not afraid to do, have caused markets turmoil and political turmoil as well. and i think it is the latter, the amount of pressure she is under from the latter, the amount of pressure she is underfrom people in this conference hall, people saying, conservatives are saying, this is wrong, it looks like we're sending at the wrong message, i think it is that, which has been the straw to
6:08 am
break the camels back. i'd really interesting, we will wait to find out later. thank you very much, nick. we'll be speaking to the chancellor, kwasi kwarteng at 7.30 this morning. maybe we will get an indication from on him then what about what that decision will be. a man is due in court later this morning charged with the murder of olivia pratt korbel, the nine—year—old who was killed at her home in liverpool in august. 0ur reporter nick garnett is outside the court in liverpool. what more can you tell us? it is six weeks since — what more can you tell us? it is six weeks since olivia _ what more can you tell us? it is six weeks since olivia pratt-korbel - what more can you tell us? it is six| weeks since olivia pratt-korbel was weeks since 0livia pratt—korbel was killed, there was a commotion outside herfront door, her mother opened the front door to find two man chasing each other, they burst into the house, shots were fired and one bullet hit 0livia in the chest and she died shortly afterwards. that sparked a huge police operation, over15,000 that sparked a huge police operation, over 15,000 hours of police time spent, officers drafted in from elsewhere around the country, and the police say they are still searching for the two weapons
6:09 am
involved. there have been 11 arrests so far in this inquiry, ten days ago crimestoppers offered a £200,000 reward for information leading to a conviction, that is the largest reward that crimestoppers has ever offered. there have been 11 arrests, a week later there were two more arrests in the city, two men were questioned. and then on saturday evening and afternoon they were both charged. the first one, thomas cashman, 3a from west derby, two miles away from where 0livia lived, he is charged with her murder and the attempted murder of a man called joseph lee and 0livia's mother cheryl. the other man, a0—year—old paul russell is charged with assisting an offender and both men will appear in court later this morning. will appear in court later this morninu. ., ~ will appear in court later this morning-— will appear in court later this morninu. ., ~ , . will appear in court later this morninu. ., ~' , . morning. thank you very much, nick garnet in liverpool. _ an investigation is under way after a stampede at a football stadium in indonesia killed at least 125 people, in what is being called one of the world's worst stadium disasters.
6:10 am
the crush took place after police tear—gassed fans who invaded the pitch. it happened in malang, on the island ofjava, from where our correspondent valdya baraputri joins us now. good morning. such shocking scenes, terrible news, how are people and how are the authorities reacting? well, right now, i'm at the hospital, one of the hospitals that have treated the injured supporters. from what i gathered, the hospital... they say that all of the bodies have been claimed by the families and relatives and they are still treating more than two dozen injured supporters including several injured supporters including several in the icu. for major concussion.
6:11 am
last night i went to the stadium where the tragedy happened and i spoke to the supporters who returned to the scene to mourn for the event. 0ne supporter told me that he was shocked that the event escalated to a catastrophic level. he left the stadium before the game ended, he thought the game, you know, went just fine. at another supporter told me that he is angry, he loves his friend, he is angry with how the police control the situation, he thinks very poorly of that. and a lot of supporters in the stadium told me that there was an unfair police decision to release the gas which escalated the situation to a catastrophic level. another supporter told me and bbc indian easier, but he saw tear gas was put
6:12 am
into the stand and notjust the pitch where the apple —— supporters ran. we are still waiting to hear more from the police investigation. today, the government of indonesia told the press that they will form a fact—finding team consists of authorities and the government and also the media, find what really happened, to reveal what really happened, to reveal what really happened after the tragedy of the 1st of october.— happened after the tragedy of the 1st of october. ., ~ , ., , . 1st of october. thank you, very much indeed. we're joined now by wirya adiwena from amnesty international indonesia who are calling for an investigation into the use of tear gas at the stadium. thank you so much for talking to us. tell us what you know, what the reports are that you have heard about the circumstances of what happened?— about the circumstances of what ha--ened? ,., , , happened? things are still being rocessed happened? things are still being processed but — happened? things are still being processed but everyone - happened? things are still being processed but everyone in - happened? things are still being processed but everyone in the i processed but everyone in the nation, there is a collective
6:13 am
grieving and a feeling of injustice. the general feeling is that no one... a lot of people have been calling for a fair investigation into the matter.— calling for a fair investigation into the matter. ~ . , ., , into the matter. what needs to be done now to _ into the matter. what needs to be done now to ensure _ into the matter. what needs to be done now to ensure that - into the matter. what needs to be done now to ensure that there - into the matter. what needs to be done now to ensure that there is, | done now to ensure that there is, the victims of this awful tragedy do get some kind ofjustice? the the victims of this awful tragedy do get some kind ofjustice?— get some kind of 'ustice? the first thin that get some kind of 'ustice? the first thing that needs — get some kind ofjustice? the first thing that needs to _ get some kind ofjustice? the first thing that needs to be _ get some kind ofjustice? the first thing that needs to be evaluated l get some kind ofjustice? the first| thing that needs to be evaluated is the use of tear gas. i think a lot of attention has been given on the use of police force in this situation. tear gas should never be used in confined spaces, it should only be used to disperse crowds when widespread violence has occurred and when other methods have failed. if indeed the police have thrown tear gas without proper due consideration of the situation, i think a lot of
6:14 am
things could be reviewed. and if the eastjava regional things could be reviewed. and if the east java regional police things could be reviewed. and if the eastjava regional police have mentioned have acted on this procedure, the procedure should be reviewed. accountability should not stop only on the police officer who through the tear gas but it should go all the way to the top. find through the tear gas but it should go all the way to the top. and what has been the _ go all the way to the top. and what has been the reaction _ go all the way to the top. and what has been the reaction there? - go all the way to the top. and what has been the reaction there? in - has been the reaction there? in terms of the newspaper and media reporting of this incident, what are people saying? i reporting of this incident, what are peeple saying?— people saying? i think we are a little bit shell-shocked, - people saying? i think we are a little bit shell-shocked, to - people saying? i think we are a little bit shell-shocked, to be l little bit shell—shocked, to be honest. it is unthinkable that 180 or more people have passed away in such a circumstance in a football match. and i think a lot of people are starting to realise that the police aren't so easily, at times, some —— they are so easily, at
6:15 am
times, they use excessive force. there is increasing attention on this matter. and i think it is about time for all of us to ensure that no such thing happens again, that the accountability should be brought forward, because it seems that such accidents are prone to happen again if no proper attention is given to police procedure. indeed, if! if no proper attention is given to police procedure. indeed, if i may draw your attention to similar cases in the past, there have been too many incidents of possible excessive use on the police force and this is not the first time. in 2020, for example, during a nationwide protest against a piece of legislation in indonesia, amnesty regulated a02 incidents of possible excessive use of police force in 15 provinces. so
6:16 am
why is this not the exception, excessive force, why do these incidents occur again and again? again, the state have to answer these questions by ensuring that no one skips accountability after a thorough transparent and independent investigation. thorough transparent and independent investiuation. ~ ~ ., thorough transparent and independent investiuation. . , , , investigation. wirya adiwena, deputy director of amnesty _ investigation. wirya adiwena, deputy director of amnesty international - director of amnesty international indonesia, thank you so much for talking to us this morning. brazil's presidential election will go to a run—off after neither of the two main candidates won 50% of the votes in the first round. the left—wing former president lula da silva secured a8% of the vote, to the incumbent president jair bolsonaro's aa%, a much closer result than opinion polls had suggested. voters now have four weeks to decide which of the two should lead brazil. a search is being renewed for the remains of a teenager from northern ireland, who was murdered and secretly buried by the ira in 1975. columba mcveigh, who was 19, is one of 16 victims who became

"isn't getting rid of one prime minister enough for him?"
6:22 am
the paper quotes one senior conservative as saying. it really is incredibly divided and divisive within the blue ranks as they start their party conference. let's see if its front page still holds true. the striker this frontpage. the daily express leads on mr kwarteng's vow to "stay the course" with his economic plan. the paper reports that the chancellor will tell the conservative party conference that the government has an "iron—clad commitment to fiscal discipline" in an attempt to draw a line under the market turmoil of the past week. before we move away from this, i we had this news from nick eardley a short time ago, the chancellor is expected to make a statement in the next hour, to confirm that the government is backing down on its plan to get rid of the a5p rate of tax. manchester city's third straight derby win features on the sun's back page, city had a convincing win thanks to a hat—trick each
6:23 am
from erling haaland and phil foden. the sun reports that man united were so bad that erik ten hag admits he kept cristiano ronaldo on the bench to spare his blushes. well, i have to say, one person who would have really enjoyed that game yesterday is our mate, the late, great, bill turnbull. a massive wycombe wanderers fan, they were the club in his heart, he secretly quite like manchester city, occasionally, they were his other team. he didn't sa it out they were his other team. he didn't say it out loud- _ they were his other team. he didn't say it out loud. he _ they were his other team. he didn't say it out loud. he did _ they were his other team. he didn't say it out loud. he did once - they were his other team. he didn't say it out loud. he did once or- say it out loud. he did once or twice! he _ say it out loud. he did once or twice! he did _ say it out loud. he did once or twice! he did love _ say it out loud. he did once or twice! he did love wycombe l say it out loud. he did once or- twice! he did love wycombe wanderers and he did match commentary for them as well. bill sadly died from prostate cancer in august, at the age of 66. now, his beloved club has given their own special tribute to one of their biggest fans, as graham satchell reports. just before kick—off on saturday and the teams emerge at wycombe wanderers.
6:24 am
at pitchside, bill turnbull�*s family and friends. his wife sessie, with daughter flora on one side and son will on the other. ladies and gentlemen, please stand and join us for a minute's applause for bill turnbull... applause. thousands of fans paying tribute to a man who loved the club and made a huge impact here. bill became part of the family at wycombe. he was the club commentator. it's every fan's dream to walk in the door, meet the gaffer. go through the tunnel onto the pitch and then commentate. we all want to do that. i think this is a day of celebration for bill.
6:25 am
he was really loved here at wycombe wanderers. he helped put us on the map. he was one of our best ever fans. and it's about celebrating bill. it's dank, isn't it? that for me is a yellow card. phil catchpole spent years sat next to bill as his co—commentator. 0h, whoa! and it wasn't far off. bill broke all the rules because he was basically a fan with a mic and he got away with it because he was bill turnbull. hopeless, actually, absolutely useless. right, that's a card. come on, ref! he had an amazing wit, a real fantastic turn of phrase. but it was just the passion of him being a fan and the berating of referees. there's the shot and it's a goal! 0h, brilliant stuff from stephen mcginn! 1—0 to the wanderers. the over—celebrating of goals. just absolutely wonderful. never a dull moment with bill. in the boardroom before the game, wycombe manager gareth ainsworth meets bill's family. the best thing about bill was he didn't hide who his team was, and the support he gave me over the years was nothing short
6:26 am
of honestly phenomenal. he made you feel a million dollars, and bill was the one who made you at ease and made you feel the superstar. and he did that to me time after time. he supported me in the commentary. any mistakes we made, he berated the referees or the opposition rather than our team and me, and that was bill to a tee, you know. so to honour him and celebrate the life he had is an honourfor us at wycombe wanderers. prostate cancer badges for bill, you got yours? outside the ground, volunteers from prostate cancer uk. the way bill talked about his own cancer diagnosis had an extraordinary impact. we really wanted to thank you, the family, for everything that bill has done for prostate cancer. laura kirby, the head of prostate cancer uk, talking to bill's daughter flora. he literally has saved thousands and thousands of men's lives. so, i think the year after he was diagnosed, he talked about it and we saw a 20% increase in referrals to the nhs.
6:27 am
so it is extraordinary and i think that really honours him. yeah, it does. thank you so much. and i think that would mean so much to him to know that he was able to reach out like that and make a difference in that way. so thank you. we just thought we'd take a moment to pay tribute to one of our greatest ever fans, bill turnbull. you know he loved this club and we loved him as well. we're going to miss him massively. let's do it today for bill. come on, you blues, makes some noise! cheering. phil was the guy that made prostate cancer something that people could talk about. when i got the diagnosis last year, once i told my family, i then realised it was something that men and women could talk about. 0h, great bloke. i mean, everyone knew. about his disease early on. he was open with it. and, yeah, i mean, he's got a lot of respect -

round here, a lot of respect. he was so nice, so gentle, and he was really fun. thanks to bill turnbull, thanks to my support network, you know, i am on the mend from prostate cancer. this was the moment manager gareth ainsworth spotted bill in the crowd at the last home game he was able to make. wycombe have now said thank you to a fan who changed so many lives. graham satchell, bbc news, at wycombe wanderers. isn't that lovely to see? and no one could get away with it like bill. that type of commentary, everybody loved him for it, he could say whatever he wanted, he was a microphone at wycombe wanderers. he: loved that club is a point and they loved that club is a point and they loved him. fantastic to see. well done to everybody there over the weekend. :, , :, ., ~ done to everybody there over the weekend. :, , :, ., ,, ., , weekend. lots to talk about this mornin: , weekend. lots to talk about this morning. we _ weekend. lots to talk about this morning, we have _ weekend. lots to talk about this morning, we have the _ weekend. lots to talk about this| morning, we have the chancellor weekend. lots to talk about this - morning, we have the chancellor on in just over morning, we have the chancellor on injust over an hour.

6:30 am
across southeast london won't be able travel directly to charing cross station from december. southeastern trains are scrapping the service which runs through the woolwich and bexleyheath, claiming it will lead to "better punctuality and fewer cancellations". many rail users and councillors at greenwich and bexley councils are furious — saying life will be harderfor local people. some of the world's most famous props and costumes used in film and television are going up for auction — and before they do, you can see them in rickmansworth in hertfordshire. up for sale is superman's complete costume, as worn by christopher reeve — expected to fetch around a quarter of a million pounds. there's yoda'sjedi robes from star wars: the phanton menace, and a puppet from fraggle rock. these items, these artifacts, come to us from all corners of the globe — i mean, they come from all over the world. with regards to the buyers, we never know where it's going

6:32 am
so quite a breezy start to the day tomorrow. tomorrow is a lot windier — but, again, it should stay dry, there'll be some sunny spells with highs of 19 or 20 degrees celsius. very windy on wednesday. that's it, bye for now. hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. coming up on breakfast this morning... after two years, 2,000 pen nibs and a00 cans of black spray paint, we'll take a look around the transformed home of the artist mr doodle. # you make me feel like dancin'. # i wanna dance the night away. the musician leo sayer will be here as he celebrates a milestone 50 years in the industry.
6:33 am
and we'll be finding out what hundreds of beautifully preserved footprints discovered on the merseyside coastline tells us about our ever—changing natural landscape. so we're hearing this morning that the chancellor is expected to drop one of the most controversial measures from the mini budget, scrapping the a5% rate of tax on higher earners. hopefully we will get some clarity on that when we speak to him in an hour. however, in his speech today, he's expected to re—state his commitment to the government's overall growth strategy for the uk's economy. ben's to explain more details. good morning. when kwasi kwarteng unveiled that mini budget as it came to be described, he was talking about a new era of faster, better at uk economic growth, meaning more being bought and sold, more money
6:34 am
going around, as a result morejobs and investment. let me explain how it works with the measures he had set out. in the past two decades the economy in the uk has grown by an average of 1.a% each year, but it has been affected by two major global crises. the financial crash of 2008 and then of course the disease micro—pandemic. even if you exclude those, growth in the last ten years is not much previous decades —— the covid pandemic. he says the government goal is to secure steady growth of 2.5% per yearfor secure steady growth of 2.5% per year for the secure steady growth of 2.5% per yearfor the uk secure steady growth of 2.5% per year for the uk economy. secure steady growth of 2.5% per yearfor the uk economy. the chancellor said doing that would secure more funding for public services and improve living standards for everyone. some of the plans announced in the mini budget included capping energy bills, cutting the basic rate of income tax, reversing the rise in national insurance from november, and freezing corporation tax. the idea is that cutting tax relief people with more money to spend on
6:35 am
services, at the shops and restaurants, and that will help the economy grow. in the coming weeks the chancellor is expected to flush out the details for the government's plans on planning laws, energy, childcare and working visas. reaction so far has been pretty mixed. the institute for fiscal studies, an influential think tank, described the plans as a big gamble, and while economies and business leaders agree growth is needed, achieving it is going to be a big task. i think all eyes will be on your conversation with the chancellor later this morning. i think you are right. no pressure! i don't think the pressure is on me. we've talked a lot about rising energy prices — and you might be wondering what you can do to tackle bills this winter. 0ne family has agreed to take part in an experiment and go on an "energy diet" to see if they can save money by cutting their energy use — and save the planet along the way. 0ur climate editor,
6:36 am
justin rowlatt, went to meet them. meetjade and her six—year—old son, eric. they live in gloucester and, like the rest of us, jade is worried about soaring energy prices. so she has agreed to an experiment. we're putting jade and eric on an energy diet to see how much money they can save, and how much they can reduce their impact on the climate along the way. so, jade, what are you worried about? i'm worried about the cost, really. i mean, my bills have doubled — they've gone from £80 a month to 165. and i'm worried that they're going to go up even more. and what effect is that having on your kind of household budget? well, i'm going to have to start making choices about where i spend my money, looking at my food shopping, as well, and i am worrying about how to afford it all. so we are going to go around your house, suggest some things that will reduce your energy consumption, the amount of money you pay, but also reduce your impact on the environment. but i've got to warn you, jade,
6:37 am
i'm going to be tough on you. 0k! what? and the man with the clipboard is harry kind of the consumer organisation which? he's going to be working out how much energy and carbon dioxide our tricks can save. right, jade, let's start with heating, because that is the biggest user of energy in your home. and the first thing we're going to do is turn this down to 20 or 18...? 20. keep it on 20. and next, i'm going to look at your boiler. now this is... oh, that's quite good, but i'm going to turn this down just a notch and see how that works for you. there we go. all right, so the radiators in the bedroom are going all the way down — look — below one. so it's going to be a lot cooler in these rooms. and eric... there we go. he gets another duvet.
6:38 am
right, jade, this electric blanket is brilliant because it heats you, not the room, so it's much more efficient. and you're going to be needing a hot—water bottle when the winter nights get really cold! so, jade, the idea is you keep this area, the lounge and the kitchen, warm. keep that door shut. and then how about this? if you're watching telly with eric in the evening, you could turn the heating down and maybe use a blanket. 0k, we'll give that a try. excellent. next up, lighting. if you're not in a room, jade, the lights go off. 0k, jade, next up, the bathroom. and i'm sorry to say no more baths — only short showers. sorry. right, so here in the kitchen, if you're making a cup of tea, jade, measure it out in the cup and then boil it. that will save a surprising amount of energy. always boil water in the kettle. so if you're making pasta, kettle first, then on the hob, and if you're heating stuff up, always in the microwave, never in the oven.
6:39 am
microwave is far more efficient. right. right, so with your appliances — your washing machine, your dishwasher — only ever run them when they're full. and the powders are so good now, your washing machine can run at 30, not a0. let's get this in, shall we? this is great, jade. you're drying your stuff outside, which is so much more efficient than a tumble dryer. right, harry. so you've been listening to what i've been saying. is there anything i've missed? yes! so i'm getting a lot of heat off that bulb, which suggests it's an old—fashioned halogen bulb rather than one of these nice new cool leds. you switch to one of those, you're saving £6, maybe £7 a year per bulb. per bulb! per bulb, and there's two more in the bathroom over there. we're looking at 18, 20 quid just from the bulbs. easy. what about in this room? so, if you're just going to try and heat one room, seal it off. so a nice draught excluder, chuck that in there, no more hot air getting out into the rest of the house, wasting in unnecessary empty rooms.
6:40 am
right, so here's the question, harry. if somebody did everything that we've suggested to jade in their house, how much energy would they expect to save? well, if they really stuck to this diet, they — you know, they were really trying their best, maybe a third, maybe even more. so that's a big saving. right, jade, so what do you think of what i've suggested? er, well, i'm definitely looking forward to hopefully saving some money. i think some of the things you've suggested will be easy to do — the kettle, the dishwasher and things. i'll be honest, i'm a bit nervous aboutjust heating one room. how cold it's going to be. and when we go out there... yeah. it's going to be cold in winter. what about eric — do you think he'll get into saving energy? er, yeah. i mean, he's really into watching the smart meter, so i think he'll probably be keeping me in line and making sure i'm sticking to it. i think he's, you know, really up for it. now, so what we're going to do — we'll come back in about four or five weeks. mm—hm. we've got all your bills and stuff so we can work out how much energy you've saved.
6:41 am
and good luck when it gets a bit colder! that report from our climate editor, justin rowlatt. switch off, some good lessons there. you're watching bbc breakfast. the un is calling for ukraine to urgently release thousands of disabled people from its network of orphanages. we have covered this story a lot on the bbc over the last few weeks. it comes after a bbc investigation revealed abuse and neglect in the country's institutions — including cases of severely malnourished children, teenagers tied to benches and adults living in cots. this report from danjohnson contains some distressing images. these are the hidden lives of confinement we uncovered in ukraine's network of institutions. we saw malnourishment, mistreatment, and underdevelopment from years of neglect. like 0leg — trapped in a bedridden existence, denied the chance
6:42 am
to live independently. and vasyl — taken from his family and tied to a bench, ignored by a system that does not care. and ana — grinding her teeth through the anxiety of childhood trauma. teeth grinding. we told their stories on behalf of thousands of disabled people locked away in places like this across ukraine. and then we were invited to bring that testimony to the united nations — to give evidence to its committee on the rights of people with disabilities. now we have its conclusions. the committee is calling for ukraine to free disabled people from homes — what it calls deinstitutionalisation. it also calls for alternative care in the community, so that disabled people can live independently or with families.
6:43 am
but breaking up such a long—standing system means challenging outdated attitudes and changing an ingrained mindset. at the top, the first lady admits ukraine owes these young people more. translation: we want kids to stay in foster families - and adopted families. there should be no more orphanages around, and i think that we will use this time to overhaul the entire system — to change it entirely. but the war will make that so much more difficult. this is what's left of borodyanka after three weeks of russian occupation. 12 disabled people died in an institution here, left without basic care. others were used by russian forces as human shields. the un's calling for all orphanages in the occupied areas to be evacuated immediately. it also criticised ukraine for not considering disabled people in its evacuation plans.
6:44 am
igor and his mum live in fear. his autism and epilepsy make it impossible to leave their home in kyiv. difficult even to take shelter underground. so he and his brother haleb are trapped. translation: he heard - like constantly asking me | if we were all going to die. igor understands these things. his questions were terrible. in addition, all the people around started to leave the city. they feel under threat living next to a factory which has been targeted by the russians several times. and it's a struggle even to get the medicines needed to control igor�*s seizures. translation: the period when i found out that there are no medicines - for igor in ukraine, i thought i would go crazy. so i live in fear all the time.
6:45 am
i would like us not to have this panic, but to have some kind of stability. the war�*s put pressure on families, and made lives of institutional constraint even more difficult. this system fostered abuse and neglect long before the invasion. the un's insistence is that, in defending its population, its existence, and its freedom, ukraine must also protect the rights of its disabled people. danjohnson, bbc news, geneva. that is a tough watch but dan's work has been really rather extraordinary and hopefully shining a light on something which looks like it might be in the process of changing. find be in the process of changing. and he and ruth _ be in the process of changing. fific he and ruth clegg, the be in the process of changing. fific he and ruth clegg, the producer who worked on that, just to the un at a meeting a few weeks ago and talked to decision—makers about their findings and one imagines that has been feeding into the international

6:47 am
before. if he continues at this rate we will break all kinds of records and i think people thought... people knew he was good, he arrived with a big reputation but i don't think people believed he would be this good, this soon in the season. what can you say about erling haaland? city trouncing their rivals in what was an embarassing 6—3 defeat. they were a—0 up at half time, underlining how good city are and how unstoppable their star striker is. joe lynskey reports. this was the derby day in manchester that turned into a rout. united had won their last four in the league. there's foden. 1—0, city. the hope would fade on seven minutes. phil foden swept city to a lead that kept growing, through a striker who keeps scoring. erling haaland's first just crossed the line — his second was emphatic. in towards haaland! that was his 13th of the season injust eight league games — a staggering start to his time here, and to this match.
6:48 am
for united, it was just like brentford in august — a—0 at half time. foden! and while some would stay to bear it, some fans just left. they missed this stunning goal back from antony. antony�*s had a go — oh, its a super goal. but city hadn't finished. a hat—trick for haaland in this match meant so much — both to him and his dad. erling now had scored a hat—trick in three home games in a row — no premier league player has done that before. soon foden, too, had his third goal — 6—1. and though united scored two more late on, it didn't matter. their coach was asked at which point the game looked lost. first minute, our performance was not good, and it had to do with the belief as individual and as a team — a lack of fight, spirit in the team. we were happy doing ourjob and the most, you know —
6:49 am
always we say, we talk about that — how privileged we are doing a job like we can make, during 92 minutes, happy our people. so better than that cannot be possible. this remarkable derby had seen two hat—tricks, nine goals, and one clear winner. joe lynskey, bbc news. he must have been good to overshadow another hat—trick in that match from phil foden. no goals between leeds and aston villa yesterday. there was though another managerial departure, bruno large sacked by wolves, following their defeat to west ham. and despite finishing in the top half of the table last season, goals have been hard to come by this season. with the t20 world cup on the horizon england clinched a series win against pakistan after victory in the deciding t20 in lahore. dawid malan led the way with an unbeaten half century as they posted an impressive 209—3 from their 20 overs thanks to some huge hitting. pakistan never got close, chris woakes taking three wickets including the key one of babar azam as england won by 67 runs. there's a series with australia to come and then
6:50 am
the world cup gets under way. if you look at the last two games in particular, where they were both must—win games, going into a world cup that's really, really important and just the pressure of winning and performing and still being calm and being able to perform was huge. so i feel like we're in a very good position now after today's game and winning, and winning the series, going into a world cup for sure. max verstappen will have to wait until at least sunday's race injapan to retain his f1 title after he could only finish seventh at the singapore grand prix. the red bull driver had a day to forget — firstly with a poor start and then running off late on. his teammate sergio perez took the lead at the first corner and went on to claim his second win of the season, ahead of ferrari duo charles leclerc and carlos sainz. lewis hamilton could

6:53 am
once again the rain making good inroads across scotland and northern ireland. windy. confident south, something drier. clear skies but the wind picking up. look at these overnight temperatures. 12 to 13, may be 1a degrees. a mild night, milder than last night. tomorrow the rain pushes south, to map a distinctive band as it is to weather fronts. wet across parts of england and wales, not making it into the south—east. behind that kind of rain, we are looking at blustery showers with some sunny intervals returning into scotland. temperatures 13 to 20 degrees. as we go through tuesday night into wednesday, this area here develops a wave in it and starts to move northwards so it looked like it was heading south but it will move north instead. still some heavy rain in it and one look at the isobars tell you to you it will be windy with gales, especially with exposures. through the rest of wednesday, the scenario continues, so heavy rain and strong
6:54 am
winds, gusty winds, even in large looking at gusts as much as 50 or 60 mph. temperatures ten to 17 degrees, so certainly going through an unsettled period as we go through the middle part of the week. some heavy rain. during the course of tuesday, overnight into wednesday, and wednesday, some places could have between 50 and 100 millimetres of rainfall. as we move in through wednesday and in towards thursday, we are still looking at that area of low pressure, pushing away, still unsettled and from the isobars you can tell it is going to be windy and wet across the north of the country. here is the pitch for thursday. all of these showers piling in, being driven in on the south—westerly wind, the south—westerly wind is an mild direction for us so we get temperatures 11 to 19 degrees. higher than we would expect at the beginning of october. aha, higher than we would expect at the beginning of october. ah. bit beginning of october. a bit blustery- — beginning of october. a bit blustery. thank _ beginning of october. a bit blustery. thank you - beginning of october. a bit blustery. thank you very i beginning of october. a bit blustery. thank you very much indeed stuck blustery. thank you very much indeed

stuc 4 , :, , beareaved families have come together to create a quilt, with each individual square representing their loved ones lost to suicide. it wil be displayed across yorkshire and is part of a wider project called speak their name — which aims to offer support and raise awareness of suicide prevention. abijaiyeola has been speaking to some of those involved. every square represents someone who was loved and lost to suicide. it was months in the making — time to remember and reflect. i didn't have to hesitate about what i wanted to do for my square. i did a heart of gold buttons because although my son dean had his issues, had his problems, everybody says the same about him — that he had a heart of gold. my husband took his own life at the beginning of this year, and ijust thought it was a really nice thing to do to have a memoriam, have this square as part of this great big quilt that we're going tour yorkshire.
6:56 am
well, we wanted to be a part. of something that would help us with remembering our son leo, i and something that would not only celebrate his life but also raise - awareness around suicide prevention. there are almost 200 personalised tributes on the panels here. behind every one, a grieving family. you live with guilt. you live with what—ifs. why? and... every morning you wake up, it's the first thing you see. every night you close your eyes, and it's the last thing you see. and... ..you know that you have to live with that for the rest of your days. i'm here to talk about my son josh. my son dean. zach. my daughter ellie. the group have also made a film
6:57 am
to share their stories and raise awareness of suicide prevention. they came together notjust to make this quilt — but to talk and heal. we all have that common denominator which ties us all together, and we take part in weekly zoom meetings and things like that. and it's... it's just been a very cathartic experience. it has helped us to talk to each other about what's happened within the family, and with leo. and when we've met other people, a part of the group, being able to share those stories without fear of being judged, or stigma attached. creating this quilt has been a massive emotionaljourney for all of us involved in the room. karen is one of the founder members of the speak their name project. she lost her husband ian and her daughter bethany to suicide. cos when you see that quilt and look at those squares, and see the loss and the love that's in that, if it helps somebody,
6:58 am
prevent them taking their own life, then that's really important. but it's also a message of hope, as well, i think, because when you look at that quilt, every single square's completely different. but we are different as human beings — none of us are perfect, none of those squares are perfect — but they've been created with love and that's all that matters, really. the quilt will now be displayed across yorkshire to help spread the message. there is hope, and there is help. abijaiyeola, bbc news. what a beautiful tribute. gorgeous. absolutely. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london, i'm asad ahmad. there'll be many people waking up with aching legs and limbs today
6:59 am
after taking part in the a2nd london marathon. during the race, 18 guinness world records were broken, and millions of pounds was raised for charities, large and small. people ran in normal t—shirts and shorts as well as fancy costumes. and it was the first time the marathon allowed assisted wheelchairs so the kerr family could take part. the atmosphere along the route was also praised. what an amazing day. i mean, the support along the way is just ridiculous. it's so... where else do you get that many people in london wishing each other well? laughter. tens of thousands of people cheering each other on — it was glorious. for the first time in decades, thousands of rail passengers across a south east london won't be able travel directly to charing cross station from december. southeastern trains are scrapping the service which runs through woolwich and bexleyheath claiming it will lead to "better punctuality and fewer cancellations".
7:00 am
many rail users and councillors at greenwich and bexley councils are furious, saying life will be harder for local people. some of the world's most famous props used in film and television are going up for auction, and before they do you can go and see them in rickmansworth in herfordshire. up for sale is superman's complete costume as worn by christopher reeve, expected to fetch around £250,000. there's also yoda'sjedi robes from a star wars film and a puppet from fraggle rock. these items, these artifacts, come to us from all corners of the globe — i mean, they come from all over the world. with regards to the buyers, we never know where it's going to end up, but we have hardcore collectors and film fanatics. but we're also selling to museums and exhibitions, and also film archives, as well. a look at the tube board now. good service on all lines. now the weather with elizabeth.
7:01 am
hello, good morning. a fairly quiet day of weather today for us across the capital, but with a jet stream strengthening out in the atlantic, it is set to turn a lot windier as we head through the rest of the week. but most of the rain will stay towards the north and the west — we'll probably see a bit, though, on wednesday. now, this morning, well, it's a chilly start to the day, temperatures having dropped back into mid single figures for many of us last night. bit of early mist — particularly across parts of surrey — and with high cloud out towards the west, then it should make for a pretty sunrise. there will be some sunny spells on and off throughout the day, it will stay dry. a noticeable south—westerly breeze. yes, it will cloud over at times, temperatures will get as high as perhaps 19 or 20 degrees celsius — so above the seasonal average. and then, as we head through this evening and overnight, it's a lot milder than it was last night — temperatures should stay in double figures. again, it's looking dry. the wind will start to pick up, so quite a breezy start to the day tomorrow. tomorrow is a lot windier — but, again, it should stay dry, there'll be some sunny spells with highs of 19 or 20 degrees celsius. very windy on wednesday.
7:02 am
that's it. you can go around the london marathon route in 60 seconds on our website, take a look. good morning, welcome to breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. our headlines today. the chancellor is expected to announce in the next hour he's abandoning plans to scrap the top rate of tax after growing opposition from his own mps. a man will appear in court in liverpool today charged with the murder of nine—year—old olivia pratt—korbel. how haaland helped himself to another hat trick in city's humiliating defeat of rivals united on derby day. as the goals come so do the records.
7:03 am
good morning from a lounge which is like no other. it is completely covered in doodles, as is the entire house. it belongs to sam, otherwise known as mr doodle, and we will be finding out why he has done this a little later. under clear skies last night, we had some beautiful viewings of the northern lights. for scotland and northern lights. for scotland and northern ireland to the cloud will build, the rain will come in and the wind will strengthen. england and wales will have some cloud but sunny intervals. all of the details later on in the programme. it's monday 3rd october. our main story. in the next hour, the chancellor is expected to confirm the government is backing down on its plan to scrap the top rate of income tax. it comes after growing pressure on the prime minister after criticism from several senior conservatives. our political correspondent nick eardley is at the party conference in birmingham.
7:04 am
nick eardley is at the party good nick eardley is at the party morning. this is a signi u—turn? good morning. this is a significant u—turn? it’s good morning. this is a significant u-turn? �* , : good morning. this is a significant u-turn? �*, ., u-turn? it's a colossal u-turn, sall . u-turn? it's a colossal u-turn, sally- the _ u-turn? it's a colossal u-turn, sally. the kind _ u-turn? it's a colossal u-turn, sally. the kind of _ u-turn? it's a colossal u-turn, sally. the kind of which - u-turn? it's a colossal u-turn, sally. the kind of which you i u-turn? it's a colossal u-turn, i sally. the kind of which you could see from space. but here's the thing, the government has come under really significant pressure over the past week, but even more so over the past week, but even more so over the past 2a hours. we have seen opposition parties say that scrapping the rate of income tax paid by people over £150,000, who earn over £150,000, was the wrong idea. and we have had a growing number of conservative mps stick their head above the parapet to state the exact same. so what i'm expecting is within the next 20 minutes or so, the chancellor will confirm that the government is not proceeding with those plans to scrap the a5p income tax rates. not that they are parking it, not that they
7:05 am
might wait a few weeks and revisit it, but it's not going to happen. and that is a huge, huge u—turn. because it was only yesterday that the prime minister was on bbc one, telling the nation that she was going to go ahead with it, she thought it was the right plan, she thought it was the right plan, she thought it was the right plan, she thought it would help stimulate economic growth. clearly something has happened over the last 2a hours and the political pressure that the prime minister and the chancellor were under under this, and the fear that what they were doing was going to be seen as unfair, getting rid of that top rate of tax at the same time as potentially squeezing public spending and not putting benefits up as much as inflation, that ultimately, that has led to the situation where the government felt it could not go ahead with the plan. are you absolutely committed to abolishing the a5% or a5p tax rate for the wealthiest in the country? yes, did his part, laura, part ofan

7:17 am
of the world's largest collections of prehistoric animal tracks, and show how the area was once home to animals like red deer, wild boars and wolves, as our science correspondent victoria gill reports. these sandy shores are constantly shifting. and as the sea and wind reshape this coastline, they're revealing evidence of who and what lived here thousands of years ago. this bed ranges from round about 8,500 years old to about 8,200 years old. so what are we looking at here? ok, so here we're looking at a whole range of red deer hoof prints, and you can see here the heel shape as well. yeah, ok! so it's like a real mould, you can see the heel and the toes. yes, you can see every feature. it's the human footprint. wow! the red deer footprints are slightly younger because this footprint is probably on at least one, if not two layers lower than the red deer footprint.
7:18 am
the lower you go... the older. the older you go, wow. footsteps were preserved here in what was a huge tidal mudflat. indentations baked in the sun and buried. but in this soft sediment, the prints can be eroded away within weeks or days of being exposed to the elements. so researchers have documented and dated 31 beds of ancient footprints here. digital scans have preserved impressions that have now been washed away forever. it's a years—long study that's shown the footprints to be much older than thought, spanning a timeline from 9,000 years ago, when this area was roamed by deer, wild cattle, wolves and lynx. but around 5,500 years ago, when the sea reclaimed expanses of land and humans settled by the coast, that changed dramatically. it was a sort of irish sea basin serengeti, it was a really biodiverse landscape with lots of animals.
7:19 am
so what's really interesting is that we see a biodiversity hotspot and a very distinctive coastal habitat that's gone as a response to rapid sea level rise, but also as a response to human changes such as the development of agriculture. so we've been able to track a major ecosystem change solely from looking at the footprint record. these fragile, muddy beds form one of the largest collections of prehistoric animal tracks on earth. and as the coast here changes, erosion uncovers more undiscovered layers of footprints beneath. with sea levels rising, these tell a story of how coastal wildlife hotspots around the world could transform thousands of years into the future. victoria gill, bbc news, formby beach. professorjamie woodward from the university of manchesterjoins us now. those pictures, professor woodward, are amazing. is that the clearest you have ever seen them? it is beautiful footage, _ you have ever seen them? it 3 beautiful footage, and the explosions at the moment at formby
7:20 am
beach are exquisite. one of the beauties of the site is the preservation of the animal and human footprints is excellent. my colleague doctor alison burns has done most of the research, she is on holiday and cannot be here, it's a remarkable site. so holiday and cannot be here, it's a remarkable site.— holiday and cannot be here, it's a remarkable site. so how important is this? it is unusual— remarkable site. so how important is this? it is unusual because _ remarkable site. so how important is this? it is unusual because most - this? it is unusual because most footrint this? it is unusual because most footprint beds _ this? it is unusual because most footprint beds span _ this? it is unusual because most footprint beds span one - this? it is unusual because most footprint beds span one period l this? it is unusual because most| footprint beds span one period of time that this spans 8000 years, so it tracks from just off the ice age to even a thousand years ago. the oldest beds are much older than we thought. they have very rich animal prints, extinctanimals, red deer, links, wolves, predators, beaver, and the later beds are much more impoverished. so we see the evidence, it is a bio diversity hotspot in the mesa lithic, the
7:21 am
early post—glacial period, which becomes progressively degraded and disconnected as the sea level rises. what does that tell us about that 8000 years, it is so unusual to have layers all of that together, what do we learn from that? this layers all of that together, what do we learn from that?— layers all of that together, what do we learn from that? this was a huge salt marsh environment _ we learn from that? this was a huge salt marsh environment and - we learn from that? this was a huge salt marsh environment and the - salt marsh environment and the footprints are in mud beds. so we have multiple beds stacked on each other and they are exposed over three comedies of beach. so it tells us that footprint beds can record ecological changes when they are well preserved. normally these studies would be looking at bones or stone tools, but we have been able to, with alison's work and the new dating work, we have been able to construct the ecological change just on the footprints. i construct the ecological change 'ust on the footprintsi construct the ecological change 'ust on the footprints. i remember going to formby beach _ on the footprints. i remember going to formby beach when _ on the footprints. i remember going to formby beach when i _ on the footprints. i remember going to formby beach when i was - on the footprints. i remember going to formby beach when i was a - on the footprints. i remember going to formby beach when i was a child | to formby beach when i was a child and looking at the squirrels but not at the footprints, so thank you very

7:28 am
travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london, i'm asad ahmad. there'll be many people waking up with aching legs and limbs today after taking part in the a2nd london marathon. during the race, 18 guinness world records were broken, and millions of pounds was raised for charities large and small. people ran in normal t—shirts and shorts as well as fancy costumes. and it was the first time the marathon allowed assisted wheelchairs so the kerr family could take part. the atmosphere along the route was also praised. what an amazing day. i mean, the support along the way is just ridiculous. it's so... where else do you get that many people in london wishing each other well? laughter. tens of thousands of people cheering each other on — it was glorious. for the first time in decades, thousands of rail passengers across a south east london won't be able travel directly to charing cross station from december. southeastern trains are scrapping the service which runs through woolwich and bexleyheath claiming it will lead
7:29 am
to "better punctuality and fewer cancellations". many rail users and councillors at greenwich and bexley councils are furious, saying life will be harder for local people. some of the world's most famous props used in film and television are going up for auction, and before they do you can go and see them in rickmansworth in herfordshire. up for sale is superman's complete costume as worn by christopher reeve, expected to fetch around £250,000. there's also yoda'sjedi robes from a star wars film and a puppet from fraggle rock. these items, these artifacts, come to us from all corners of the globe — i mean, they come from all over the world. with regards to the buyers, we never know where it's going to end up, but we have hardcore collectors and film fanatics. but we're also selling to museums and exhibitions, and also film archives, as well. a look at the tube board now.
7:30 am
train cancellations are causing minor delays on the jubilee line. now the weather with elizabeth. hello, good morning. a fairly quiet day of weather today for us across the capital, but with a jet stream strengthening out in the atlantic, it is set to turn a lot windier as we head through the rest of the week. but most of the rain will stay towards the north and the west — we'll probably see a bit, though, on wednesday. now, this morning, well, it's a chilly start to the day, temperatures having dropped back into mid single figures for many of us last night. bit of early mist — particularly across parts of surrey — and with high cloud out towards the west, then it should make for a pretty sunrise. there will be some sunny spells on and off throughout the day, it will stay dry. a noticeable south—westerly breeze. yes, it will cloud over at times, temperatures will get as high as perhaps 19 or 20 degrees celsius — so above the seasonal average. and then, as we head through this evening and overnight, it's a lot milder than it was last night — temperatures should stay in double figures. again, it's looking dry. the wind will start to pick up, so quite a breezy start to the day tomorrow.
7:31 am
tomorrow is a lot windier — but, again, it should stay dry, there'll be some sunny spells with highs of 19 or 20 degrees celsius. very windy on wednesday. that's it. bye for now. there is plenty more on our website and radio station. hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. in the last few minutes it's been announced that the chancellor is abandoning plans to scrap the a5p rate of income tax. we can speak to the chancellor kwasi kwarteng now. good morning to you. thank you. good morninu. good morning to you. thank you. good morning- your— good morning to you. thank you. good morning. your policy _ good morning to you. thank you. good morning. your policy on _ good morning to you. thank you. good morning. your policy on the _ good morning to you. thank you. good morning. your policy on the top - good morning to you. thank you. good morning. your policy on the top rate i morning. your policy on the top rate of tax has gone. _ morning. your policy on the top rate of tax has gone. not _ morning. your policy on the top rate of tax has gone. not tweaked - morning. your policy on the top rate of tax has gone. not tweaked or - of tax has gone. not tweaked or delayed, gone. of tax has gone. not tweaked or delayed. gone-— of tax has gone. not tweaked or dela ed, one. ~ , . delayed, gone. absolutely. we were focused on delivering _ delayed, gone. absolutely. we were focused on delivering the _ delayed, gone. absolutely. we were focused on delivering the growth - focused on delivering the growth plan. a lot of good stuff is in the

growth plan and what was clear talking to lots of people up and down the country, mps, voters, our constituents, was that the a5p rate was becoming a huge distraction on what was a very strong plan so we have energy intervention which is preventing bills going up to £6,500 next year. we are capping the average bill to £2500. that is a huge saving. we have reversed the national insurance increase, tax increase, which has save the average person £330 in the year. we have also brought forward the cut in the 1p also brought forward the cut in the 1p in the... 1p cut in the basic rate. the a5p rate was simply a distraction on what was a good set of policies and a strong package. less than 2a hours ago the prime minister told the bbc she was absolutely committed to that policy. less than 2a hours ago you were tweeting that it was a great thing.

morning. has anyone has a greater start to life in the premier league than erling haaland ? as the goals flow, so do the records. the city fans taking great delight that three more came against their rivals. the norwegian striker took his tally to a remarkable 1a goals in just eight games. he's now scored more goals than 1a of the 20 premier league teams. phil foden also netted a hat trick as city moved back to within a point of league leaders arsenal. and the scariest thing, he saw it all coming. i felt it, a couple of days before the game, that something special is going to happen. and we saw today some special things happened and it was nice. it's these games i want to play. this is the game, the best games, you know, where it's a bit more extra, this and that, you know. so it's nice. he thinks he can get better, as well. astonishing stuff. how leeds and villa could have done with a haaland. no goals between them.

there was though another managerial departure yesterday. bruno large sacked by wolves, following their defeat to west ham. and despite finishing in the top half of the table last season, goals have been hard to come by this season. with the t20 world cup on the horizon england clinched a series win against pakistan after victory in the deciding t20 in lahore. dawid malan led the way with an unbeaten half century as they posted an impressive 209—3 from their 20 overs thanks to some huge hitting. pakistan never got close, chris woakes taking three wickets including the key one of babar azam as england won by 67 runs. there a series with australia to come and then the world cup gets under way, so how do they rate their chances? i don't think we're the favourites for the world cup. if i'm being honest, i don't feel that at all. but i know we are a very dangerous team to play. and a lot of teams will fear playing us, but still, i feel like australia and india are the two, the two favourites.

they are looking good, though, heading into it. some a2,000 runners took to the streets of the capital for the a2nd editon of the london marathon. the race held in october for the third and final time before returning to its traditional april date next year. kenya's amos kipruto took the men's title in 2 hours a minutes and 38 seconds. the 30—year—old breaking away late on. marcel hug broke his own course record in the wheelchair race as he took his fourth title in london. the women's race was won by yalemzerf yehaloo. the 23—year—old actually fell early on, but came back and finished in two hours, 17 minutes and 26 seconds, the third—fastest women's london marathon time in history. catherine debrunner won the women's wheelchair race, also in a course record. great pictures yesterday. some great costumes, as well. brilliant, it is what makes the day. the

room unlike any other and indeed the whole house has been covered in doodles and we even have a doodled image a view to presenting breakfast. it is the work of this man, sam, otherwise known as mr doodle and it has been his lifelong ambition to live in a doodle house. if you are not familiar with his work, here is a recap. hello, there! mr doodle here. it started when he doodled on his parents' furniture. since then, sam cox — or mr doodle, as he's known — has turned something some of us might do if we're bored into a very successful career. when i first started playing video games and reading comic books, when i was much younger, i really sort of fell in love with the characters. i would ask my parents if i could draw on, like, this table or something like that, and they'd eventually let me, after a bit of persuading, turning these 3d objects into sort of works of doodle art.
7:54 am
and today i'm going to doodle a wormy—type thing. with a huge following on social media, mr doodle's videos get millions of views. when you're doodling, what's going through your mind? it's just such a great process. you feel almost like an out—of—body experience. you're just indulging yourself in this free—flowing state of creation, and it'sjust the best thing anyone can do, i think. i've just bought this house. sam's childhood dream was to live in a completely doodled home. bzz, bzz, bzz! big buzzes of doodles! almost three years after he bought it, its mission accomplished. the bedroom is actually the first room that i started when i began doodling over the house. all the drawings in this room are themed around lots of sleepy characters. so you're going to wake up every morning and see this? yeah! yeah. i mean, this is sort of paradise for me.
7:55 am
so you're actually going to cook on this? well, i'd like to, but i'm not actually sure that any of this is workable after we've painted a doodle on it. right. does your wife know that? she's not totally aware of that yet. that's where you'll be eating your pot doodle. yeah, absolutely! now, this might not be everyone's cup of tea — in fact, it might even make your head spin — but the popularity of mr doodle's work has soared internationally. in 2020, he was the world's fifth most successful artist aged under a0 at auction — one of his pieces sold forjust under $1 million us. and some people have spoken about you in the same breath as banksy. what's that like? i really love banksy�*s work, but i try to be different to him in a way, because i don't want my work to have any political meaning. it's meant to just be joyous, fun, happy, non—political doodles. a home like no other.
7:56 am
a unique approach to diy... doodle it yourself! as design themes go it is most certainly bold. of that we can all agree. it looks completely random but there are themes. in the kitchen there is a doodle here of a chef —type character, but the couple who own this house, sam and his wife. a lot of people will be watching this and thinking what on earth have you done to this house? how much time and money have you spent on this? convince them it is worth it. this has been my _ convince them it is worth it. ti 3 has been my lifelong dream to doodle a house. i love doodling everything since i was a kid and to buy a house and cover it with my cartoon creations is my favourite thing i

8:00 am
good morning, welcome to breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. our headlines today. in the last hour the chancellor has announced he's ditching plans to scrap the top rate of tax after growing opposition from his own mps. we felt that the a5p issue, the a5p rate, was drowning out a strong package of intervention on energy, a strong package of intervention on tax cuts for people generally, and we decided not to proceed. after days of uncertainty
8:01 am
and economic turmoil, i'll look at how the markets have reacted to the chancellor's u—turn. a man will appear in court in liverpool today charged with the murder of nine—year—old olivia pratt—korbel. remembering our own bill turnbull. bill's familyjoined wycombe wanderers fans to pay tribute to one of the club's biggest supporters. in sport, how haaland helped himself to another hat trick in city's humiliating defeat of rivals united on derby day. as the goals come, so do the records. good morning. a north—south split with the weather today, in scotland and northern ireland, increasingly the cloud will build, the rain will come in and the wind strengthened but sunny intervals across much of england and wales with one or two showers. the weather is turning more unsettled tuesday night into wednesday. one of the details later on in the programme. —— all of the details later. it's monday 3rd october. our main story. in the last half hour the chancellor
8:02 am
has confirmed that the government will back down on its controversial plan to scrap the top rate of income tax. it's after growing pressure on the prime minister following criticism from several senior conservatives. our political correspondent nick eardley is at the party conference in birmingham. good morning, nick. where to start? it's quite a significant u—turn, understatement of the morning. it’s understatement of the morning. it's a understatement of the morning. it�*s a colossal u—turn, sally. this is a big moment in this government becausejust yesterday big moment in this government because just yesterday morning if you were switching on bbc one, you would have seen the prime minister saying, we are totally committed to scrapping the additional rate of income tax that is paid by more than 150, by those earning more than £150,000. this morning, the screeching u—turn from the chancellor, as he says, it's become a distraction. that basically there
8:03 am
was nothing else getting through from this conference, because the government was getting so much criticism for giving tax cuts to people on high salaries. have a listen to what the chancellor told bbc breakfast about tough and arrogant. ihate bbc breakfast about tough and arroiant. ~ , :, arrogant. we were focused on delivering _ arrogant. we were focused on delivering the _ arrogant. we were focused on delivering the growth - arrogant. we were focused on delivering the growth plan, i arrogant. we were focused on | delivering the growth plan, -- arrogant. we were focused on - delivering the growth plan, -- about delivering the growth plan, —— about half an— delivering the growth plan, —— about half an hour— delivering the growth plan, —— about half an hour ago. we were focused on delivering _ half an hour ago. we were focused on delivering the growth plan, and what was clear— delivering the growth plan, and what was clear talking to mps, voters and constituents that the asp rate was becoming — constituents that the asp rate was becoming a huge destruction on what was a _ becoming a huge destruction on what was a very— becoming a huge destruction on what was a very strong plan. we have got energy— was a very strong plan. we have got energy intervention, we have got the average _ energy intervention, we have got the average bill to £2500. that is a huge saving. we have reversed the national insurance increase, tax increase, which has saved the average person £330 in the year. we have also brought forward the cut in the 1p in the... 1p cut in the basic rate.
8:04 am
these are strong, progrowth measures. the asp rate was simply a distraction on what was a good set of policies and a strong package. less than 2a hours ago the prime minister told the bbc she was absolutely committed to that policy. less than 2a hours ago you were tweeting that it was a great thing. what changed ? we talked to people, we listened to people. i get it. we not only talked to people and saw people's reactions, we were talking to constituents, a whole range of stakeholders, and we felt that the a5 pence rate was drowning out a strong package of intervention on energy, tax cuts generally and we decided not to proceed with getting rid of the a5p rate. it is hard to think of a u—turn on this scale in recent political history. where does this leave your
8:05 am
credibility as chancellor? we are 100% focused on the growth plan. i have been in parliament 12 years, they have been lots of policies which, when government listens to people, they have decided to change their mind. but this is not a pasty tax, it was one of your big headlines in your mini budget. you were really proud of it, you were going to tell the conference today that you needed to stick the course and have ironclad credibility. where is your credibility now, having u—turned on such an integral policy? there were lots and lots of policies in the mini budget. there was the energy intervention that limited the rise in energy bills. there was the commitment not to increase national insurance.
8:06 am
there was a whole range of reforms announced and 95% of the package was 100% what we are focused on. this a5p rate became a distraction and i, along with the prime minister, decided that the best course of action would be simply not to proceed with the abolition of the rate. that is the chancellor on breakfast marcenaro — that is the chancellor on breakfast marcenaro go, really interesting that i_ marcenaro go, really interesting that i thought, he said, he —— half an hour ago. _ that i thought, he said, he —— half an hourago, really that i thought, he said, he —— half an hour ago, really interesting i thought— an hour ago, really interesting i thought that he said he has not considered his position after the last few— considered his position after the last few weeks. this is something government has decided to do because it links _ government has decided to do because it links got _ government has decided to do because it links got it wrong, that is not the case, — it links got it wrong, that is not the case, it— it links got it wrong, that is not the case, it has been forced to do that by— the case, it has been forced to do that by opposition parties and an increasing — that by opposition parties and an increasing number of conservative mps which — increasing number of conservative mps which said it looks like you are giving _ mps which said it looks like you are giving tax _ mps which said it looks like you are giving tax cuts to the rich while and if _ giving tax cuts to the rich while and if it — giving tax cuts to the rich while and if it might not go up for those on low— and if it might not go up for those on low incomes. there was a growing

8:08 am
will be bruised. for a new prime minister it should be the climax of the honeymoon period but instead of that you have got a chancellor who has been under so much pressure, that he has had to perform this huge u—turn. the prime minister who was on the airwaves yesterday telling us this was not going to happen, definitely, and now it has happened. so there is no doubt in my mind at all that this is a big body blow for the new government. quite how big a body blow it is is hard to tell at the moment. the calculation they have made is that by making this decision now, they can perhaps limit some of the damage. when we had grant shapps the former minister on earlier, he said that he welcomed that they did it now and it is right to acknowledge when you have made a mistake. but as you say, sally, the chancellor clearly doesn't think this was a mistake, in a sense that it was the wrong policy. the government thinks its wood badly

8:10 am
ben is here. ever since the rumours started slowly this morning that the government would do a u—turn on the plan on the a5p top rate of tax, the pound started to strengthen against the us dollar, it went up at one point to about $1.12. it has dropped back a little bit but it is still at $1.11. why does that matter? if the pound is weak, when we import things it costs more to buy them, and that price gets passed on to us for the things that we buy in the shops. it's worth looking at this change of policy and what it means economically for the government. by not going ahead of the scrapping of the a5p highest rate of tax, it will save them £2 billion in total. 50 save them £2 billion in total. so it's not a massive amounts of money. a big amounts to you and me but in the grand scheme of the mini budget, which totalled £a5 billion of tax cuts in all, this is a relatively
8:11 am
small amount. and the thing that worried the markets, the reason that the pound weakened, the reason that government borrowing became more expensive, is because investors were a bit puzzled as to how the government was going to pay for all of these tax cuts. so this will reduce the bill for those tax cuts by 2 billion but they are still huge, huge amount left that needs to be funded. it will be funded through borrowing but how is that going to be repaid and when? so we wait to see when the numbers are crunched how the markets will react. there is also worth highlighting the individual impact of this change. the reason it was so politically toxic and so controversial is because scrapping the a5p additional rate of tax payable on earnings above £150,000 per year would have saved someone on £200,000, let's say, £3000 per year in tax, £3000 less they would be paying. a millionaire, someone earning 1 millionaire, someone earning 1 million a year, would have saved more than £50,000 in tax, while the
8:12 am
other tax cut changes would have saved on average £170 per year. it was so toxic, so controversial and ultimately, i think, was so toxic, so controversial and ultimately, ithink, why was so toxic, so controversial and ultimately, i think, why it has driven them to this u—turn. the driven them to this u-turn. the --eole driven them to this u-turn. the people who _ driven them to this u-turn. the people who have _ driven them to this u—turn. the people who have been terrified about mortgage rates at home, if the pound gets stronger and inflation doesn't therefor go quite as high as it might have been, it means that interest rates might not have to go up interest rates might not have to go up as much as people fear. ihathat interest rates might not have to go up as much as people fear. what you are describing _ up as much as people fear. what you are describing is _ up as much as people fear. what you are describing is basically _ up as much as people fear. what you are describing is basically two - up as much as people fear. what you are describing is basically two or - are describing is basically two or three cogs in the machine, and depending on the effect that this turning of this cog of the a5p rate and the impact that has on investor confidence in the strength of the uk economy, and what that does to the pound, it might then affect what the bank of england decides to do on interest rates. as you say, that has an impact on borrowing, on loans, on mortgages, but even for people who don't have a mortgage, bear in mind a lot of people who own property is who they rent out, they find that
8:13 am
with a buy to let mortgage. if their repayments go up, they will charge higher rent. the ripple effect can be felt right through the economy. this is why all of this really matters. the other point which is important to make this income tax change relates to england, wales and northern ireland, scotland has its own system, five rates of tax, it is in effect people in scotland, that is important point to make. —— it does not affect people in scotland. a man is due in court later this morning charged with the murder of olivia pratt korbel, the nine—year—old who was killed at her home in liverpool in august. our reporter nick garnett is outside the court in liverpool. what more can you tell us? it's six weeks since _ what more can you tell us? it's six weeks since olivia _ what more can you tell us? it's six weeks since olivia was _ what more can you tell us? it's six weeks since olivia was killed. - what more can you tell us? it's six| weeks since olivia was killed. there was a commotion outside her house, her mother opened the front door to find two men, one chasing the other, they burst into the house and shots were fired. one of them hit olivia in the chest and she died shortly after from the injuries she
8:14 am
received. that sparked a huge police investigation which has gone on for six weeks. 15,000 police hours have been used social in that part of the information, as they try to find both the people involved in all weeks of life, and also to try and find the guns that were used in that attack. cctv footage has been investigated as well and is being searched as well. 11 arrests have been made in this inquiry, the latest two were made last week. and on saturday afternoon, two men were charged. the first is thomas cashman, 35 years old from the west derby area of liverpool, two miles away from where olivia pratt—korbel lived. he is charged with her murder and the attempted murder of two other people, a man called joseph mi and eliseu —— olivia's mother

see the clouds thickening and the rain piling in across parts of northern ireland and scotland and the wind will pick up. for england and wales we have had beautiful sunrises this morning, the cloud is building, but equally sunny intervals. temperatures 13 to 19 or 20 degrees. this evening and overnight, the rain piled in across northern ireland and scotland, gusty winds gusting to gale force around the outer hebrides. the wind is picking up across england and wales and as a result it will not be as cold start to the day tomorrow morning as it was this morning. tomorrow morning the rain continues out of northern ireland, and across england and wales. behind it, sunny intervals, blustery showers coming intervals, blustery showers coming in and temperatures 1a to 20 degrees. thank you very much indeed. you may remember our former breakfast presenter bill turnbull�*s passion for his football team,

8:18 am
thousands of fans paying tribute to a man who loved the club and made a huge impact here. bill became part of the family at wycombe. he was the club commentator. it's every fan's dream to walk in the door, meet the gaffer. go through the tunnel onto the pitch and then commentate. we all want to do that. i think this is a day of celebration for bill. he was really loved here at wycombe wanderers. he helped put us on the map. he was one of our best ever fans. and it's about celebrating bill. it's dank, isn't it? that for me is a yellow card. phil catchpole spent years sat next to bill as his co—commentator. oh, whoa! and it wasn't far off. bill broke all the rules because he was basically a fan with a mic and he got away with it because he was bill turnbull. hopeless, actually,
8:19 am
absolutely useless. right, that's a card. come on, ref! he had an amazing wit, a real fantastic turn of phrase. but it was just the passion of him being a fan and the berating of referees. there's the shot and it's a goal! oh, brilliant stuff from stephen mcginn! 1—0 to the wanderers. the over—celebrating of goals. just absolutely wonderful. never a dull moment with bill. in the boardroom before the game, wycombe manager gareth ainsworth meets bill's family. the best thing about bill was he didn't hide who his team was, and the support he gave me over the years was nothing short of honestly phenomenal. he made you feel a million dollars, and bill was the one who made you at ease and made you feel the superstar. and he did that to me time after time. he supported me in the commentary. any mistakes we made, he berated the referees or the opposition rather than our team and me, and that was bill to a tee, you know. so to honour him and celebrate the life he had is an honourfor us at wycombe wanderers.
8:20 am
prostate cancer badges for bill, you got yours? outside the ground, volunteers from prostate cancer uk. the way bill talked about his own cancer diagnosis had an extraordinary impact. we really wanted to thank you, the family, for everything that bill has done for prostate cancer. laura kirby, the head of prostate cancer uk, talking to bill's daughter flora. he literally has saved thousands and thousands of men's lives. so, i think the year after he was diagnosed, he talked about it and we saw a 20% increase in referrals to the nhs. so it is extraordinary and i think that really honours him. yeah, it does. thank you so much. and i think that would mean so much to him to know that he was able to reach out like that and make a difference in that way. so thank you. we just thought we'd take a moment to pay tribute to one of our greatest ever fans, bill turnbull. you know he loved this club and we loved him as well. we're going to miss him massively.
8:21 am
let's do it today for bill. come on, you blues, makes some noise! cheering. phil was the guy that made prostate cancer something that people could talk about. when i got the diagnosis last year, once i told my family, i then realised it was something that men and women could talk about. 0h, great bloke. i mean, everyone knew. about his disease early on. he was open with it. and, yeah, i mean, he's got a lot of respect - round here, a lot of respect. he was so nice, so gentle, and he was really fun. thanks to bill turnbull, thanks to my support network, you know, i am on the mend from prostate cancer. this was the moment manager gareth ainsworth spotted bill in the crowd at the last home game he was able to make. wycombe have now said thank you to a fan who changed so many lives.

8:29 am
into mid single figures for many of us last night. bit of early mist — particularly across parts of surrey — and with high cloud out towards the west, then it should make for a pretty sunrise. there will be some sunny spells on and off throughout the day, it will stay dry. a noticeable south—westerly breeze. yes, it will cloud over at times, temperatures will get as high as perhaps 19 or 20 degrees celsius — so above the seasonal average. and then, as we head through this evening and overnight, it's a lot milder than it was last night — temperatures should stay in double figures. again, it's looking dry. the wind will start to pick up, so quite a breezy start to the day tomorrow. tomorrow is a lot windier — but, again, it should stay dry, there“ll be some sunny spells with highs of 19 or 20 degrees celsius. very windy on wednesday. that's it. bye for now. there is more on bbc london's twitter account. hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent.
8:30 am
in the last hour, the chancellor has announced that the government will abandon plans to scrap the a5p rate of income tax. we can speak to the leader of the liberal democrats, sir ed davey. morning to you, ed davey. your reaction to this news we have been breaking in the programme the last couple of hours? it breaking in the programme the last couple of hours?— couple of hours? it was the right thin to couple of hours? it was the right thing to get _ couple of hours? it was the right thing to get rid _ couple of hours? it was the right thing to get rid of— couple of hours? it was the right thing to get rid of this _ thing to get rid of this indefensible policy. but the government has to do far more. the whole minute budget needs an overhaul. for example, the very large cut in corporation tax which goes to big business and banks and has cost 18 billion, that needs to go. we need a proper windfall tax to get money from the oil and gas companies, and we can use that money to help families who are struggling with mortgages. and if we have this complete overhaul i think we are going to have to have a new chancellor. kwasi kwarteng has to go. he doesn't have any credibility
8:31 am
any more. go. he doesn't have any credibility an more. ~ , , any more. well, ed davey, my colleague _ any more. well, ed davey, my colleague jon _ any more. well, ed davey, my colleague jon asked _ any more. well, ed davey, my colleague jon asked kwasi - any more. well, ed davey, my - colleague jon asked kwasi kwarteng colleaguejon asked kwasi kwarteng an hour ago, would he be considering his position? he could not be more clear, he is going to stay, he is determined to stay as chancellor of the exchequer and will not change his mind again. it's what he said. but we are going to need a whole new budget and soon. we need a transparent budget. if we are going to really regain the confidence of the markets, give help to struggling families and businesses, i don't think he is the person to do it and i think the prime minister needs to recognise that urgently. so what liberal democrats i say, if we are going to get that way to help with energy bills, mortgage payments, we are going to support businesses through a proper growth strategy, then i think this discredited chancellor has to go, and if the prime minister doesn“t recognise that, i think she will have made yet another mistake.— another mistake. don't you think it erha -s another mistake. don't you think it perhaps could _ another mistake. don't you think it perhaps could be _ another mistake. don't you think it perhaps could be argued _ another mistake. don't you think it perhaps could be argued that - another mistake. don't you think it perhaps could be argued that it - another mistake. don't you think it perhaps could be argued that it is. perhaps could be argued that it is the mature, responsible thing to do to recognise that at some points, a
8:32 am
decision is wrong, and do you turn? —— and to perform a u—turn? i recognise the fact they got rid of the indefensible policy which was incredibly unpopular and wrong but i think they need to go far more. he is saying at the moment that the a5p was a distraction from his whole plan. what liberal democrats think it is whole plan was wrong. it is ideology, it is not really a real economic strategy that our country needs, people are struggling out there. i have never been so alarmed, whether it is my own constituents, or talking to liberal democrat colleagues across the country. listening to people, listening to businesses, listening to struggling families and we have never heard such levels of anxiety and genuine need, and the guide seems totally out of touch. it is taking people for granted and that is why we need a completely new plan. we need it
8:33 am

the threat to cutting our public services, and the massive cuts to banks and bankers, the decision appears to freeze or not put up benefits or pensions by inflation. this government is making all the wrong choices. ih this government is making all the wrong choices. iii a this government is making all the wrong choices.— this government is making all the wrong choices. in a word, ed davey, if ou wrong choices. in a word, ed davey, if you were — wrong choices. in a word, ed davey, if you were prime _ wrong choices. in a word, ed davey, if you were prime minister _ wrong choices. in a word, ed davey, if you were prime minister and - wrong choices. in a word, ed davey, if you were prime minister and he i if you were prime minister and he was your chancellor, would you sack him? ., , ed was your chancellor, would you sack him?_ ed davey. - was your chancellor, would you sack him?_ ed davey, thankj him? immediately. ed davey, thank ou ve him? immediately. ed davey, thank you very much _ him? immediately. ed davey, thank you very much indeed. _ him? immediately. ed davey, thank you very much indeed. ed _ him? immediately. ed davey, thank you very much indeed. ed davey, i you very much indeed. ed davey, leader of the liberal democrats. that was quite a word to. ed davey speaking about energy bills and we will continue to talk about energy bill rises. you might be wondering, what can you do, what are the little things you might be able to do around the house that might bring down those bills especially as we head into winter. one family has agreed to take part in an experiment and go on an “'energy diet" to see
8:35 am
if they can save money by cutting their energy use — and save the planet along the way. our climate editor, justin rowlatt, went to meet them. meetjade and her six—year—old son, eric. they live in gloucester and, like the rest of us, jade is worried about soaring energy prices. so she has agreed to an experiment. we“re putting jade and eric on an energy diet to see how much money they can save, and how much they can reduce their impact on the climate along the way. so, jade, what are you worried about? i'm worried about the cost, really. i mean, my bills have doubled — they've gone from £80 a month to 165. and i'm worried that they're going to go up even more. and what effect is that having on your kind of household budget? well, i'm going to have to start making choices about where i spend my money, looking at my food shopping, as well, and i am worrying about how to afford it all. so we are going to go around your house, suggest some things that will reduce your energy consumption, the amount of money you pay, but also reduce your impact on the environment. but i've got to warn you, jade, i'm going to be tough on you. 0k!
8:36 am
what? and the man with the clipboard is harry kind of the consumer organisation which? he's going to be working out how much energy and carbon dioxide our tricks can save. right, jade, let's start with heating, because that is the biggest user of energy in your home. and the first thing we're going to do is turn this down to 20 or 18...? 20. keep it on 20. and next, i'm going to look at your boiler. now this is... oh, that's quite good, but i'm going to turn this down just a notch and see how that works for you. there we go. all right, so the radiators in the bedroom are going all the way down — look — below one. so it's going to be a lot cooler in these rooms. and eric... there we go. he gets another duvet. right, jade, this electric blanket is brilliant because it heats you, not the room, so it's much more efficient. and you're going to be needing
8:37 am
a hot—water bottle when the winter nights get really cold! so, jade, the idea is you keep this area, the lounge and the kitchen, warm. keep that door shut. and then how about this? if you're watching telly with eric in the evening, you could turn the heating down and maybe use a blanket. ok, we'll give that a try. excellent. next up, lighting. if you're not in a room, jade, the lights go off. ok, jade, next up, the bathroom. and i'm sorry to say no more baths — only short showers. sorry. right, so here in the kitchen, if you're making a cup of tea, jade, measure it out in the cup and then boil it. that will save a surprising amount of energy. always boil water in the kettle. so if you're making pasta, kettle first, then on the hob, and if you're heating stuff up, always in the microwave, never in the oven. microwave is far more efficient. right. right, so with your appliances — your washing machine, your dishwasher — only ever run
8:38 am
them when they're full. and the powders are so good now, your washing machine can run at 30, not a0. let's get this in, shall we? this is great, jade. you“re drying your stuff outside, which is so much more efficient than a tumble dryer. right, harry. so you've been listening to what i've been saying. is there anything i've missed? yes! so i'm getting a lot of heat off that bulb, which suggests it's an old—fashioned halogen bulb rather than one of these nice new cool leds. you switch to one of those, you're saving £6, maybe £7 a year per bulb. per bulb! per bulb, and there's two more in the bathroom over there. we're looking at 18, 20 quid just from the bulbs. easy. what about in this room? so, if you're just going to try and heat one room, seal it off. so a nice draught excluder, chuck that in there, no more hot air getting out into the rest of the house, wasting in unnecessary empty rooms. right, so here's the question, harry. if somebody did everything that we've suggested to jade in their house, how much energy would they expect to save?
8:39 am
well, if they really stuck to this diet, they — you know, they were really trying their best — maybe a third, maybe even more. so that's a big saving. right, jade, so what do you think of what i've suggested? er, well, i'm definitely looking forward to hopefully saving some money. i think some of the things you“ve suggested will be easy to do — the kettle, the dishwasher and things. i'll be honest, i'm a bit nervous aboutjust heating one room. how cold it's going to be. and when we go out there... yeah. it's going to be cold in winter. what about eric — do you think he'll get into saving energy? er, yeah. i mean, he's really into watching the smart meter, so i think he'll probably be keeping me in line and making sure i'm sticking to it. i think he's, you know, really up for it. now, so what we're going to do — we'll come back in about four or five weeks. mm—hm. we've got all your bills and stuff so we can work out how much energy you've saved. and good luck when it
8:40 am
gets a bit colder! he almost looks excited about it. we all he almost looks excited about it. - all need to getjustin round. excited to see how it worked. ih excited to see how it worked. in which we be talking about what businesses make up the chancellor is back out u—turn we have been reporting and scrapping plans to scrap the a5p tax rate. we“re joined now by the boss of iceland supermarkets, richard walker, who is at the conservative party conference this morning. it is quite a u—turn, isn“t it is quite a u—turn, isn't it, quite a change? it is quite a u-turn, isn't it, quite a change?— it is quite a u-turn, isn't it, quite a change? well, it is, but it is the right _ quite a change? well, it is, but it is the right thing _ quite a change? well, it is, but it is the right thing to _ quite a change? well, it is, but it is the right thing to do. _ quite a change? well, it is, but it is the right thing to do. it - quite a change? well, it is, but it is the right thing to do. it was - is the right thing to do. it was always a bit of a non—priority, to be honest, and i think this is pragmatism. they have obviously listened. the optics of it were bad and, actually, the cost of it, as well, it is not really the point. i think it was around 2 million. when you consider the overall energy package and support it is pretty minimal so, actually, package and support it is pretty minimalso, actually, ithink package and support it is pretty minimal so, actually, i think what they have done is listen to the
8:41 am
sentiment and the feeling. it is the right thing to do so hopefully we can move on. hot right thing to do so hopefully we can move on-— right thing to do so hopefully we can move on. not surprisingly the o- osition can move on. not surprisingly the opposition vultures _ can move on. not surprisingly the opposition vultures are _ can move on. not surprisingly the opposition vultures are circling i opposition vultures are circling above the chancellor and they are saying he has to go, he has no credibility left. can he stay in his job? i credibility left. can he stay in his 'ob? ,, �* credibility left. can he stay in his 'ob? ., �* ., ., credibility left. can he stay in his 'ob? ., �* ~ ., ., credibility left. can he stay in his 'ob? ~ ., ., ., ., job? i don't know, there are a lot of politics — job? i don't know, there are a lot of politics involved. _ job? i don't know, there are a lot of politics involved. i— job? i don't know, there are a lot of politics involved. i am - job? i don't know, there are a lot of politics involved. i am looking | of politics involved. i am looking at my 5 million customers per week and some are really struggling and i would like to see more support for them. maybe we can balance this out with an uplift in reinstating the £20 universal credit reinstatement. something like that to help support them through this is something really important. obviously a lot of politics and that will go on regardless. currently i am focused on trying to support our customers through this because we are —— they are really struggling, they need all the support they can get. ihate are really struggling, they need all the support they can get. we asked the support they can get. we asked the chancellor _ the support they can get. we asked the chancellor about _ the support they can get. we asked the chancellor about benefits - the support they can get. we asked the chancellor about benefits and l the chancellor about benefits and potential changes and giving reassurance to people really struggling and he said that kind of
8:42 am
information would come in november when we got this longer statement on spending. do you think he should bring that statement forward now? look, i'm not entirely sure how these things work but i think the sooner the better, right? the cost—of—living crisis is firmly upon us. we have got double digit inflation, we have a food inflation which isn't going away. as much clarity as everybody can get is really important. hopefully we don't have to wait until mid november so if it can be brought sooner than great. what is really important is they do everything they can. that energy cap, notjust for my customers, but also for businesses like ours, was absolutely vital because it's given us certainty, so at least we know that much and we can start to plan and invest going forward. but if they do have other tricks up their sleeves, it would be good to hear it, because everyone needs as much help as they can get. i guess the issue now is that everyone will be looking through the chancellor's of the policies and
8:43 am
wondering what else they might u—turn on. what about corporation tax? the amount of big businesses like your own pay. some are saying he should u—turn on that. i do he should u-turn on that. i do believe in _ he should u-turn on that. i do believe in the _ he should u-turn on that. i do believe in the agenda - he should u—turn on that. i ah believe in the agenda of going for growth. if we don't restore growth in this country, if we don't restore productivity growth, then we are all in deep trouble. so i think it is the right agenda. things like a drop in corporation tax wouldn't help our business and wouldn't change any investment decisions that we make, but it may attract foreign businesses to the uk, to domicile here, to invest here, so that may be a good thing. but i think all of that supply—side reform as it's called needs to be balanced out, needs to be balanced out with as much support as possible for the poorest and most vulnerable in society. poorest and most vulnerable in socie . : ., poorest and most vulnerable in socie . , ., poorest and most vulnerable in socie. , ., ., poorest and most vulnerable in socie. ,., .,�* society. richard, before you go, i'm interested. — society. richard, before you go, i'm interested. you _ society. richard, before you go, i'm interested, you are _ society. richard, before you go, i'm interested, you are not _ society. richard, before you go, i'm interested, you are not a _ interested, you are not a politician, not involved in politics that you are there at the party

8:46 am
and, yeah, the second half, i think it was — what was the score in the second half? 3—2, for them. yeah, you know, we lost the second half and this is not good, so we still have work. you score 17 this season, 1a in the premier league. he you score 17 this season, 14 in the premier league.— you score 17 this season, 14 in the premier league. he is losing track. when they are _ premier league. he is losing track. when they are flowing _ premier league. he is losing track. when they are flowing in, - premier league. he is losing track. when they are flowing in, easily i when they are flowing in, easily done, i guess. there was though another managerial departure yesterday. bruno large sacked by wolves, following their defeat to west ham. and despite finishing in the top half of the table last season, goals have been hard to come by this season. how they could do with a haaland so far this season. despite a series win over pakistan, moeen ali believes england wont head into the upcoming t20 world cup as favourites. dawid malan led the way with an unbeaten half century as they posted an impressive 209—3 from their 20 overs to win the series decding match in lahore. pakistan never got close, chris woakes taking three wickets including the key one of babar azam as england won by 67 runs. there a series with australia
8:47 am
to come and then the world cup gets under way. so how do they rate their chances? i don't think we're the favourites for the world cup. if i'm being honest, i don't feel that at all. but i know we are a very dangerous team to play. and a lot of teams will fear playing us, but still, i feel like australia and india are the two, the two favourites. max verstappen will have to wait until at least sunday's race injapan to retain his f1 title after he could only finish seventh at the singapore grand prix. the red bull driver had a day to forget, firstly with a poor start and then running off late on. his team mate sergio perez took the lead at the first corner and went on to claim his second win of the season. lewis hamilton could only manage ninth.
8:48 am
he had a couple of costly mistakes. what is also scary at haaland and manchester city, apart from the fact he is forgetting how many goals he is scoring is that he is not going to the world cup. he will be fresh as a daisy when the premier league starts. you are no injuries. the as a daisy when the premier league starts. you are no injuries.- starts. you are no in'uries. the one erson starts. you are no in'uries. the one person who _ starts. you are no in'uries. the one person who doesn't — starts. you are no injuries. the one person who doesn't need _ starts. you are no injuries. the one person who doesn't need a - starts. you are no injuries. the one person who doesn't need a rest... i person who doesn't need a rest... exactly, _ person who doesn't need a rest... exactly, he — person who doesn't need a rest... exactly, he would rather keep on going. he will be there in the gym preparing himself. it is going. he will be there in the gym preparing himself.— preparing himself. it is terrifying. very terrifying- — preparing himself. it is terrifying. very terrifying. thank _ preparing himself. it is terrifying. very terrifying. thank you - preparing himself. it is terrifying. very terrifying. thank you very i preparing himself. it is terrifying. i very terrifying. thank you very much indeed. very terrifying. thank you very much indeed- carol — very terrifying. thank you very much indeed. carol has _ very terrifying. thank you very much indeed. carol has the _ very terrifying. thank you very much indeed. carol has the weather - very terrifying. thank you very much indeed. carol has the weather and i indeed. carol has the weather and has been treating _ indeed. carol has the weather and has been treating us _ indeed. carol has the weather and has been treating us all _ indeed. carol has the weather and has been treating us all morning i indeed. carol has the weather and | has been treating us all morning to the most beautiful pictures. good morning. we have some cloud now. absolutely, ou're not we have some cloud now. absolutely, you're not wrong _ we have some cloud now. absolutely, you're not wrong about _ we have some cloud now. absolutely, you're not wrong about the _ we have some cloud now. absolutely, you're not wrong about the pictures, i you're not wrong about the pictures, our weather watchers have been brilliant this morning, we have seen lots of the northern light and please keep sending them. what we have in the forecast is a chilly start. some parts of the south—east and north—east have slipped down to 2 or three degrees. temperatures picking up now and we have some sunshine to start with, as well.
8:49 am
high pressure is clinging on by the skin of its teeth but is about to be usurped by an area of low pressure coming in with its attending fronts and one look at the outset tells you the wind is also going to pick up. you can see the early onset of the rain coming across parts of northern ireland and western scotland, preceded by a few showers. for most, a dry start to the day, variable amounts of cloud and some sunshine, but as the rain pushes and across scotland, the wind will strengthen and by the end of the afternoon we could have gusts up to gale force around the outer hebrides and you could see how the rain is just sliding in across the north and west of northern ireland. a few showers across northern england today and coming up across southern counties in south wales but they will be the exception rather than the real, temperatures 13 to 19 degrees north to south. through this evening and overnight the rain becomes ensconced across scotland, we see it across northern ireland. it will be windy and the wind will pack pickle and it will be windy across england and
8:50 am
wales so not as cold start to the day tomorrow as it was this morning. the other thing with the wind means we will not have any issues with frost it with fog. talking of tomorrow we have our two weather from slipping out of scotland and northern ireland and heading into england and wales as a weaker feature. still quite windy, blustery winds, and after the drier and brighter start of england and wales, here come the front is moving into scotland and northern ireland and across england and wales, leaving sunshine and blustery conditions behind them. temperatures above average for the time of year, 1a in the north to 20 down in the south. overnight tuesday into wednesday, it turns a bit more unsettled, we have weather fronts crossing us on the wednesday you can see the isobars on the chart, it will be windy. a lot of rain around across the north and west. that will push southwards and eastwards and behind it, blustery showers. gales with exposure around
8:51 am
the coast and inland we are looking at gusty winds for some parts of the country, gusts as much as 60 mph. these showers will merge to give longer spells of rain. temperatures ten to 18 degrees. thursday starts off drier for many southern and eastern areas but it won't be long before the showers in the west drift over towards parts of the east. some stay dry in the south, and with south—westerly winds that is a milder direction temperatures 11 to about 19 degrees. in short, this week is looking unsettled. especially the middle part of the week. , , especially the middle part of the week. . , ., , ., week. unsettled, but do you feel like dancing? _ week. unsettled, but do you feel like dancing? week. unsettled, but do you feel like dancin: ? it week. unsettled, but do you feel like dancing? week. unsettled, but do you feel like dancin: ? it is week. unsettled, but do you feel like dancing? week. unsettled, but do you feel like dancin: ? it is not week. unsettled, but do you feel like dancing? week. unsettled, but do you feel like dancin: ? it is not a week. unsettled, but do you feel like dancing? week. unsettled, but do you feel like dancin: ? it is not a trick like dancing? it is not a trick question- — i don't! sometimes you do and you will do in about _ i don't! sometimes you do and you will do in about 30 _ i don't! sometimes you do and you will do in about 30 seconds. - i don't! sometimes you do and you will do in about 30 seconds. you i you might think after 50 years in the music business, leo sayer might be slowing down —
