hello and welcome if you're watching in the uk or around the world. the government has this morning performed a huge u—turn and abandoned its plan to scrap the 45 pence top rate of income tax. the announcement, from chancellor kwasi kwarteng , came just a day after the prime minister liz truss backed the policy. in a statement, mr kwarteng said the 45p tax plan had become a "huge distraction" and that the government had "listened" to people's concerns. just yesterday, the prime minister agreed she was �*absolutely committed' to the policy and said she would not abandon it. those earning more than 150—thousand pounds a year would have benefitted most, which a number of conservative mps had suggested would have been rejected when the policy came to a vote in the house of commons. in the market reaction to the u—turn, the pound jumped by more than a cent against the dollar. government borrowing costs also fell slightly to trade at around the level they were before

mr kwarteng's "mini budget" 10 days ago. earlier, the chancellor spoke to the bbc. we were focused on delivering the growth plan. there is a lot of good stuff in the growth plan. and what was clear talking to lots of people up and down the country, talking to mps, talking to voters, talking to our constituents, was that the 45p rate was becoming a huge distraction on what was a very strong plan. so we have got energy intervention which is preventing bills going up to £6,500 next year. we are capping the average bill to £2,500. that is a huge saving. we have reversed the national insurance increase, tax increase, which has again saved the average person £330 in the year. we have also brought forward the cuts in the 1p, cut of 1p on the basic rate. these are strong pro—growth measures and the 45p rate was simply a distraction on what was a good set of packages, a good set of policies and a strong package.

i have said that i take responsibility for it. and i have said that i have listened, i get the reaction, i have spoken to lots of people up and down the country, i have spoken to constituents, i have spoken to mps and councillors and other people in our political system, but most importantly, i have listened to voters. and i am really convinced that the best thing to do now is not to proceed with the abolition of the 45p rate. this is what the prime minister say 24 this is what the prime minister say 2a hours ago when she was interviewed. are you absolutely committed to abolishing the 45p tax rate for the wealthiest people in the country?— rate for the wealthiest people in the country? yes, and it is part of an overall — the country? yes, and it is part of an overall package _ the country? yes, and it is part of an overall package of— the country? yes, and it is part of an overall package of making - the country? yes, and it is part of an overall package of making our| the country? yes, and it is part of i an overall package of making our tax system simpler and lower. but i think it is worth noting in the package we announced, the vast

majority of that package is the energy package. is the energy package, the national insurance, the 45p rate actually raises very little and makes our tax system more complicated. we need to move away, we need to move away from the idea that everything is about how we redistribute resources. we also need to make sure that we have got a tax system that is competitive internationally and is helping us bring in the investment, get people into work,... did bring in the investment, get people into work-"— into work,... did you discuss scrapping — into work,... did you discuss scrapping the _ into work,... did you discuss scrapping the top _ into work,... did you discuss scrapping the top rate - into work,... did you discuss scrapping the top rate with l into work,... did you discuss i scrapping the top rate with your whole cabinet? ida. scrapping the top rate with your whole cabinet?— scrapping the top rate with your whole cabinet? ., �* ., , whole cabinet? no, we didn't, it was a decision that _ whole cabinet? no, we didn't, it was a decision that the _ whole cabinet? no, we didn't, it was a decision that the chancellor - whole cabinet? no, we didn't, it was a decision that the chancellor made. | 0ur political correspondent nick eardleyjoins us from birmingham. where the conservative party

conference is taking place. liz truss said it was a decision the chancellor made. the chancers seem to indicate this morning in an interview that initially the prime minister had made the decision on the u—turn and then he said it was a joint decision. either way, the u—turn and then he said it was a joint decision. eitherway, how the u—turn and then he said it was a joint decision. either way, how does this leave them looking today and what difference is there's going to make to the rest the conference? damaged, bruised, iexpect make to the rest the conference? damaged, bruised, i expect over the course of today many people will suggest that the prime minister and the chancellor had been humiliated. those two videos you played showed how much a difference of 2a hours can make in politics. yesterday, liz truss was absolutely adamant that this was the right plan. and that she was sticking by that controversial decision to abolish the 45p rate of income tax. i am told there was a series of meetings over the course of the day when it became increasingly clear to the prime minister and the chancellor and the conversations that this was

not going to fly. there were more and more tory mps coming out publicly and telling the world is what many had been saying privately, that they did not support this, that they thought it showed that the government had its priorities wrong, there were an increasing number of people including the former cabinet minister grant shapps saying they were not convinced this was going to get through parliament. 0ver were not convinced this was going to get through parliament. over the course the day, liz truss, and kwasi kwarteng decided it was a fight they were not going to win. we saw this story from the sun newspaper saying it was going to be junked story from the sun newspaper saying it was going to bejunked and as story from the sun newspaper saying it was going to be junked and as you just heard, the chancellor confirmed it on the television this morning. a colossal u—turn. 0ne it on the television this morning. a colossal u—turn. one that leaves a government that has only been in office for one month in a pretty precarious place. i think we can hearfrom grant shapps, he precarious place. i think we can hear from grant shapps, he was one of the people who said yesterday that this plan was not a good idea,

that this plan was not a good idea, that it showed the government had got its priorities wrong. he was one of the people predicting that ministers could lose the vote in parliament. i ministers could lose the vote in parliament-— ministers could lose the vote in parliament. i had spoken to the chancellor _ parliament. i had spoken to the chancellor and _ parliament. i had spoken to the chancellor and prime _ parliament. i had spoken to the chancellor and prime minister l parliament. i had spoken to the | chancellor and prime minister at parliament. i had spoken to the - chancellor and prime minister at the weekend, _ chancellor and prime minister at the weekend, knocking on doors, it was very clear_ weekend, knocking on doors, it was very clear that the 45p issue was clouding — very clear that the 45p issue was clouding out, crowding out, all the other_ clouding out, crowding out, all the other good — clouding out, crowding out, all the other good stuff like the massive energy— other good stuff like the massive energy cap which is designed to help millions— energy cap which is designed to help millions of— energy cap which is designed to help millions of people. i was talking to people _ millions of people. i was talking to people on— millions of people. i was talking to people on the doorstep who were saying _ people on the doorstep who were saying i_ people on the doorstep who were saying i am going to have to get a second _ saying i am going to have to get a second joh — saying i am going to have to get a secondjob. i'm going saying i am going to have to get a second job. i'm going to have to work— second job. i'm going to have to work extra — second job. i'm going to have to work extra shifts. i am so concerned about— work extra shifts. i am so concerned about my— work extra shifts. i am so concerned about my mortgage and my understanding is that the money that you are _ understanding is that the money that you are borrowing as a government to fund tax _ you are borrowing as a government to fund tax cuts _ you are borrowing as a government to fund tax cuts for the people who are the wealthiest is one of the reasons why these _ the wealthiest is one of the reasons why these mortgage rates are going up. why these mortgage rates are going up so— up. so it's very, very important that we acted to sever the link, and that we acted to sever the link, and that is— that we acted to sever the link, and that is what— that we acted to sever the link, and that is what they are doing this morning — that is what they are doing this morning and i strongly welcome that. it morning and i strongly welcome that. it was _ morning and i strongly welcome that. it was interesting to hear the language of the chancellor this

morning, he repeatedly called the controversy over the decision in the budget to cut the top rate a distraction. he said it had become a distraction, he used the word multiple times. i wonder when you look at his reaction or his response to the question of whether the government would link benefits to inflation, something which rishi sunak said he would do, the chancellor did not give a direct answer to that. i wonder, is that a mistake? will it be seen as a mistake? will it be seen as a mistake by the party as well as the wider public? ? yes, mistake by the party as well as the wider public?? yes, the real discomfort in the conservative party over the past few days has been the idea that there was a political narrative setting in that the conservative government was giving tax cuts to people earning over £150,000 a year, was allowing bankers to have bigger bonuses but at the same time, was saying, we are not guaranteeing that we are going

to put benefits up at the same rate of inflation which would mean a real terms benefits cut for people on universal credit.— terms benefits cut for people on universal credit. there were a great number of conservatives _ universal credit. there were a great number of conservatives who - universal credit. there were a great number of conservatives who i - universal credit. there were a great number of conservatives who i have | number of conservatives who i have spoken to who thought that basically, that was totally the wrong message. that it showed that the government had lost track of what it was trying to achieve. politically, it was pretty much impossible to sell. i think that is where the government ended up last night, they knew it was going to face a challenge to get it through parliament, it knew its plans were deeply unpopular with tory mps who were prepared to speak out and finally, it got the impression that it had lost the debate. politically, if they did not change their mind now, the damage although it is considerable this morning, would have been even greater.- considerable this morning, would have been even greater. thank you very much. — have been even greater. thank you very much. our— have been even greater. thank you very much, our chief— have been even greater. thank you very much, our chief political- very much, our chief political correspondent in birmingham. let's get more reaction to this note from pauljohnson, director of the institute for fiscal studies. thank

you very much forjoining us. one of the themes coming out of the discussion this morning, interviews i have done this morning is that there are £2 billion, what the decision to do a u—turn on cutting the top rate of tax represents is only a small proportion out of the total tax cuts that the government announced in the mini budget ten days ago, more than £40 billion. in the grand scheme of things, politically, obviously, how this works is important, economically in the grand scheme of things what difference does it make? this was ossibl difference does it make? this was possibly the _ difference does it make? this was possibly the smallest _ difference does it make? this was possibly the smallest major - difference does it make? this was possibly the smallest major from | difference does it make? this was| possibly the smallest major from a fiscal point of view, not a political one, in the mini budget. 5% of the tax cuts. to the extent that what we saw a couple of weeks ago was leading to fiscal unsustainability, it still is, nothing really has changed. what has changed is perhaps a sense that this government will back down, they will

listen, they will take opinion seriously, clearly, this will make a difference, a small difference to overall levels of inequality, but the big story, 43 billion as opposed to £45 billion tax giveaway remains, and the story remains that we have not had forecasting for the officer of budget responsibility, we are pretty confident that on current tax and spending plans the government is on course to have an unsustainable fiscal policy, debt rising over time. from that point of view, it is pretty much as we were. the pound has rallied today. _ pretty much as we were. the pound has rallied today. you _ pretty much as we were. the pound has rallied today. you seem - pretty much as we were. the pound has rallied today. you seem to - pretty much as we were. the pound has rallied today. you seem to be l has rallied today. you seem to be saying the underlying reasons for the fiscal instability are still there. do you think this buys the government breathing space of the market or will the markets be looking to see a lot more answers very quickly? it

looking to see a lot more answers very quickly?— very quickly? it seems to have brou . ht very quickly? it seems to have brought a _ very quickly? it seems to have brought a bit _ very quickly? it seems to have brought a bit of— very quickly? it seems to have brought a bit of breathing - very quickly? it seems to have i brought a bit of breathing space, one never understands the markets, the difference this makes really as trivial. there is a lot of credibility issues here. there is a lot of sense of direction issues here rather than real change. what is going to be crucial, i think, is by the time we get to the 23rd of november, when we are expecting another fiscal statement and the officer for budget responsibility forecast and the chancellor setting out his fiscal strategy, by then i think he needs to come up with something fairly convincing about how he is going to get the public finances onto a sustainable footing, whether that involves undoing more tax cuts, or additional tax rises, or something fairly dramatic on the spending side. 0r, or something fairly dramatic on the spending side. or, if possible, reason it and say, here we are, we

are being told i am not going to meet fiscal targets but i believe this will work over five years or seven years and then see how the markets react to that. they may not react well. if markets react to that. they may not react well. , ., , ., ., react well. if people are worried, as they clearly — react well. if people are worried, as they clearly are, _ react well. if people are worried, as they clearly are, about - react well. if people are worried, as they clearly are, about their . as they clearly are, about their mortgages and interest rates on loans, does any of what we heard today make any difference to that in terms of bank of england policy at the moment and what it might do in interest rates? no in terms of the fundamentals, it hasn't really changed anything. the bank of england is going to be concerned, just as concerned at £43 million being pumped into the economy as it would have been a 45 billion p were pumped into the economy in terms of its impact on inflation. fin its impact on inflation. on the other hand. — its impact on inflation. on the other hand, if _ its impact on inflation. on the other hand, if the _ its impact on inflation. on the other hand, if the market - its impact on inflation. on the - other hand, if the market reaction remains that it is, they seem to have got less concerned about this, stirling at the cost of borrowing have recovered somewhat, if that

reaction continues, the pressure on the bank of does become less. surprisingly, in a way, even how small this is, as i said, it may actually take some of the pressure of the interest rates. but we can still expect interest rates to rise significantly and it will remain the case that for anyone with much of a mortgage at all, those increase in interest rates will much more than wipe out the tax cuts that have been introduced. ., , ., ., ., , ., introduced. really good to get your thou . hts introduced. really good to get your thoughts today. — introduced. really good to get your thoughts today, the _ introduced. really good to get your thoughts today, the director - introduced. really good to get your thoughts today, the director of - introduced. really good to get your thoughts today, the director of the | thoughts today, the director of the institute for fiscal studies. theo leggett, our international business correspondent, joined me earlier — let's hear what the reaction was to kwasi kwarteng's mini budget a little over a week ago, the pound fell dramatically immediately after kwasi kwarteng started speaking one week ago. the pound has rallied this morning, it is trading at around $1.12 mark which is above where it was before

the mini budget. we have also seen gilt yields, the implied cost of borrowing for the government coming down a little bit, but you have to remember that today's u—turn is more political than economic at the moment. the 45p tax, abolition of the 45p tax band was politically very sensitive because that is a gift to the highest earners. but in terms of what it cost the government, that is about £2 billion, as part of a £45 billion tax—cutting package announced in the mini budget. this tax-cutting package announced in the mini buduet. , , tax-cutting package announced in the mini ibudget-— mini budget. this saves the public urse mini budget. this saves the public purse about _ mini budget. this saves the public purse about £2 — mini budget. this saves the public purse about £2 billion. _ mini budget. this saves the public purse about £2 billion. £2 - mini budget. this saves the public purse about £2 billion. £2 million, j purse about £2 billion. £2 million, other sites— purse about £2 billion. £2 million, other sites a _ purse about £2 billion. £2 million, other sites a lot _ purse about £2 billion. £2 million, other sites a lot of _ purse about £2 billion. £2 million, other sites a lot of money, - purse about £2 billion. £2 million, other sites a lot of money, but. purse about £2 billion. £2 million, l other sites a lot of money, but what they were going to need to borrow in order to finance the plans, it is relatively small. what international investors are looking at is the overall cost of the tax—cutting plan, how the government plans to pay for it. part of the problem with what was announced just over one week ago is that it was not costed.

we did not have a list of the reforms that the government plans to put in place to pay for theirs and we did not have analysis from the office for budget responsibility. the bulk of the cost of this is still there. unfunded borrowing. the kind of still there. unfunded borrowing. tue: kind of things that still there. unfunded borrowing. tt2 kind of things that were making international investors very queasy are still there. what the chancellor has announced today will help resolve some of the problems within his own party, the abolition of the 45p tax band was being criticised by conservative party mps, so that has gone away. the message to the markets is ok, the government is starting to listen, it is starting to take responsibility, it is starting to listen to what is going on, but international investors will still be looking to hear from the government what further reforms it is going to bring in, how it is going to pay for all of this, and we will still be looking very carefully at the size of the overall borrowing bill. th

government has no mandate. let's go to a general election. another message, too little too late. tory lessons after bad press. liz truss government should do their homework. another message said that grant sharp said they had knocked on doors and listen to people and have acted, can you ask whose doors and then interview those people? feels like desperate politicians trying to save their own next. if you want to give me your thoughts on this tax u—turn orany me your thoughts on this tax u—turn or any of the other stores you can contact me on twitter. use the hashtag bbc your questions. with me now, live from birmingham is harry cole, the political editor of the sun... not much forgiveness in those messages, that is how people have been reacting to the u—turn. is it going to make the sort of difference that liz truss and kwasi kwarteng

are hoping it well? tt that liz truss and kwasi kwarteng are hoping it well?— are hoping it well? it made a difference — are hoping it well? it made a difference to _ are hoping it well? it made a difference to their _ are hoping it well? it made a difference to their standing l are hoping it well? it made a | difference to their standing in are hoping it well? it made a - difference to their standing in the conservative party, their standing in the country. the problem the government leadership had is that theissue government leadership had is that the issue of the 45p rate was drowning out almost everything else at the government is doing. they obviously were in the unfortunate situation of timing with the mourning period after the death of the monarch, they announced the day before a massive intervention in the energy markets that they were getting zero credit for. freezing energy bills but everyone was talking about the 45p rate. they realised, and shall, if you are going tojudge us on realised, and shall, if you are going to judge us on something and they can't get it through parliament, betterto they can't get it through parliament, better to do it sooner rather than later. a very embarrassing morning for the new prime minister. has embarrassing morning for the new prime minister.— prime minister. has it made a difference _ prime minister. has it made a difference to _ prime minister. has it made a difference to the _ prime minister. has it made a difference to the party - prime minister. has it made a difference to the party in - prime minister. has it made a difference to the party in the l difference to the party in the country? any party wants its conference, its annual conference to be a moment of maximum unity. certainly in the short term this will allow people to rally round the prime minister and the chancellor

possible rather than doing policy on the hoof and marking the homework later. brazil's presidential election is heading for a second—round run—off after no candidate won 50% of the vote. the socialist former president luiz inacio lula da silva has 48%, the right—wing incumbent jair bolsonaro won 44% of the vote. lula was tipped to win this first round outright, and when he didn't he acknowledged he and his supporters have a lot of work to do over the next few weeks until the run—off at the end of october. 0ur south america correspondent katy watson reports from sao paulo. cheering. there were cheers for lula as well as tears that this wasn't the outright victory that his supporters had hoped for. polls had predicted a 14 percentage point gap between him and bolsonaro, but they'd vastly underestimated the support for the right wing leader. after the results, lula said there would be no let up in campaigning.

translation: i've never won an election in the first round. | it's like destiny wants me to work a bit more. we are going to win the election again. it's just a question of time. meanwhile, bolsonaro had this to say. translation: i know there's a desire to change from people, _ but there are certain changes that will end up worse, and we tried to show that during the campaign, but clearly that it didn't get through to the most important part of society. these elections were seen as the most important since brazil returned to democracy in the 1980s. 11 candidates were running, but only two were realistic options. the leftist former leader with a legacy of corruption, or a far right president criticised for his democratic record. the queues on sunday showed people cared about the outcome. this weekend, bolsonaro fans paraded their candidate ahead of what they saw as a guaranteed win. they don't believe in polls.

they wanted a first round victory too, and they won't give up their fight. why not believe in democracy? it's time to change. that's change. we like change peacefully. there is going to be beautiful blood spilt in this city, this man tells me. i'm prepared to kill all the socialists and communists in the world. after sunday's results, lula fans remained upbeat. if i'm not disappointed, actually, because i already expected that we wouldn't win at the first turn. but at least we are ahead in the overall results. bolsonaro said that polls are a lie. do you think that he's got a point? i think he will... i think he will be a bad loser. so what do you make of the result? we were expecting to make it on the first turn, but we were very happy that it's a win, and we are really, really happy, and the second turn is going to be lula.

first round, for lula's campaign, it was probably expected that the first round win would be hard. what is expected for brazil is a very, very tense three to four weeks until the second run. a tense campaign in a very tense and close second round, bolsonaro for his party has already said don't believe this poll, this is ammunition for his campaign, and they're going to try and close the gap as much as they can. because of that narrative, _ gap as much as they can. because of that narrative, to _ gap as much as they can. because of that narrative, to what _ that narrative, to what extent can we say that democracy is at state —— at state in this election? we say that democracy is at state -- at state in this election?— at state in this election? democracy has been at — at state in this election? democracy has been at stake _ at state in this election? democracy has been at stake in _ at state in this election? democracy has been at stake in brazil - at state in this election? democracy has been at stake in brazil for - at state in this election? democracy has been at stake in brazil for a - has been at stake in brazilfor a long time. many people are saying those elections are the most important elections since the re—democratisation of the country, the institutions in brazil have been under attack, the institutions in brazil have been underattack, under the institutions in brazil have been under attack, under question, this is why many have been saying that this is an election in which

troops are standing their ground here. but in this corner of the donetsk region, it's tough. no... 0leksandr leads the unit. and knows the cost of war, not only from fighting his own battles. "my brother died," he says, "but i don't know where and when exactly, because he was drafted by a different drafting office in a different region. as well as my brother, a few of my comrades died." as battles rage just beyond the building. they deploy one of the key weapons of this conflict. roman, the drone operator, has become a father since the war began.

he has seen his baby son, carrillo, only once. he's fighting, he says, to stop the russians committing more atrocities. "i don't want them to do what they did in bucha," he tells me. "i lived in kyiv. i understand very well what women feel. if we are weak, they will come for ourfamilies." so they defend every inch of territory. we've been hearing plenty of shelling, but not just shelling. there's small arms fire, which suggests that the russians and the ukrainians are not far apart. we have to be careful here. we've been told there is a russian sniper operating from that direction. for the troops here, this is a grind, day and night, a hard battle to hold this position and stop the russians

from pushing into bakhmut. president putin claims this is now his, part of the territory he officially annexed on friday. soldiers here say he's deluded. the city centre bears the scars of his attacks. explosions. and echoes to the sounds of his war. imagine this was your home, torn to pieces. it seems abandoned. then ludmilla peeks out. a pensioner who cannot walk, defenceless and terrified. she tells us most of her neighbours have gone and the building is leaking. "a man was killed in the yard

yesterday," she says. but she and her husband don't have money to leave. at the cemetery, on the city's edge, a last goodbye for a loved one. there are plenty of fresh graves here for those killed in recent months. suddenly, an exchange of shelling. incoming rounds are getting closer. neither the dead nor the living are safe here. let's go, guys, let's go. let's go. 0rla guerin, bbc news, bakhmut. let's go back to our main story and that surprise announcement by the chancellor, kwasi kwarteng, this morning that the government will not press ahead with his plan to scrap the 45p top rate of income tax. this comes a day after the prime minister had said she was

"absolutely committed" to the policy. earlier i spoke to tony yates, former head of monetary policy strategy at the bank of england and an associate at the resolution foundation. he told me that the decision was extraordinary. we have to remember that i think as one of your correspondents said, it's only £2 billion worth of tax cuts that has been taken back, and the amount of borrowing that was being undertaken is about £45 billion, so, the vast majority of the unfunded tax cuts are still out there, and the markets will be thinking exactly that, how are those tax cuts going to be paid for, and does this reversal herald more reversals? because it would need to, to close that borrowing gap and stop debt piling up indefinitely. so, you think the government needs to get on as quickly as possible with explaining how these tax cuts

are going to be funded, and getting the 0br to produce its forecast, if it is going to steady those market nerves, albeit the pound did rally a bit today? yes, i think so, and we should remember that when the markets immediately reacted, i think theyjudged that, what they knew about the planning reform, the regulatory reform, the changes and incentives coming from the tax cuts, they kind of concluded that that wouldn't bring tax revenues back and pay for the borrowing, and pay for the tax cuts themselves. so, those questions are still to be answered. we saw how in response to the market reaction, in response to the nervousness about unfunded borrowing, the bank of england raised interest rates, and of course, people are still very concerned about their mortgages, the affordability of mortgages, they already have, or about their ability to get on the property ladder and so forth, does any of what has happened today, this u—turn, have an impact

on the bank of england's current thinking on interest rates, in your view? i doubt it, because we're talking about £2 billion worth of demand out of the £45 billion worth of demand, so, most of the stimulus, which is what the bank of england will be expected to offset with higher interest rates, is still in place. so, for people who are unsure about what their next move is, i guess the message to get across this morning is that this u—turn on taxes doesn't have an immediate impact on the future of interest rates. not very much at all. it may not be the last u—turn, but from where we stand at the moment, i doubt it will make a material difference to what the bank are intending to do with interest rates. so, what more specifically would you like to see from the prime minister and the chancellor? obviously the chancellor is speaking later today at the conference, his speech no doubt is hastily being rewritten, would this be a key

would this be a key moment, an opportune moment, for him to try to bring some further stability to the situation, and if so, what could he say to do that? he either needs to explain how he will reduce government spending, or he needs to explain how he will claw back more in taxes, that is what the markets are concerned with. obviously there are political and distributional questions in play, but as an economist i am not meant to think about those. a man is due in court in liverpool charged with the murder a man has appeared in court in liverpool charged with the murder of olivia pratt—korbel, the nine—year—old who was killed at her home in august. nick garnett is in liverpool for us. bring us up—to—date with what has been happening? 50. bring us up-to-date with what has been happening?— bring us up-to-date with what has been happening? so, two men have a- eared been happening? so, two men have appeared in court _ been happening? so, two men have appeared in court this _ been happening? so, two men have appeared in court this morning, - been happening? so, two men have appeared in court this morning, the| appeared in court this morning, the was a man called paul russell, he appeared before the three magistrates at liverpool

magistrate's court, wearing jogging pants, trainers and a black athletic t—shirt, his hands were handcuffed throughout the proceedings, he was led in by police officers, he spoke to confirm his name and address and age. he is charged with assisting an offender by driving an offender away from the scene of a crime and disposing of clothing. he was told he will next appear in court at the end of this month. then, thomas cashman was led into court, his address was given as a west derby in liverpool, about two miles away from their home of livio, who was shot and died six weeks ago in her house in the city. thomas cashman stood looking at the ground throughout the proceedings and did not raise his head. in the public gallery were cheryl corbel and john pratt, 0livier�*s parents, both of them stared at the men in the dock throughout the proceedings and

blinking low. at one point, cheryl wiped away tears from her rise, but they sat throughout the proceedings listening to everything that was happening. thomas cashman was told that he will next appear in court at two o'clock this afternoon, after the end of the proceedings, which were fairly short, he was led away and we'll be back as i say this afternoon at liverpool crown court. today the king and queen consort will attend their first joint public engagement, marking the end of the royal period of mourning for the late queen. the couple will visit dunfermline in fife as part of the celebrations to mark its new city status. 0ur scotland correspondent alexandra mckenziejoins us now from dunfermline. so, a big day for the royal couple and a big day for dunfermline? hi. and a big day for dunfermline? hi, es, as

and a big day for dunfermline? hi, yes. as you — and a big day for dunfermline? h , yes, as you say annita, a big day. dunfermline is getting ready for the visit, that first a special visit, so very significant. the band behind me are warming up in anticipation for the arrival. the crowds have been gathering below, some people have been here for several hours now, even when it was dark people were starting together. they are here and all the way up to the cobbles to the city chambers, just hoping to get a glimpse of the new king and the queen consort. they will first of all go to the city chambers, they will be met by alisterjack, the secretary of state for scotland, and also scotland's first minister, nicola sturgeon. and what is going to happen up there, very specialfor what is going to happen up there, very special for dunfermline, dunfermline will formally be made a city. they put the bid in about a

decade ago, and then as part of the platinum queen'sjubilee platinum queen's jubilee celebrations, platinum queen'sjubilee celebrations, they were given that city status. and that will formally happen today. so, it is a very big day for the people here in dunfermline. dunfermline is steeped in royal history. we are here at dunfermline abbey, it has been celebrating its 950th anniversary, and many scottish kings, we understand either seven or eight, are buried in the grounds here, including king robert the bruce. and you can see his name possibly carved up you can see his name possibly carved up there in stone. and also, dunfermline was once the ancient capital of scotland, before that was transferred to edinburgh. and the last king to be born in scotland was! i, and now people here wait for the arrival of king charles iii.

0nce the arrival of king charles iii. once they have been up to the city chambers, will come and they will see the abbey here and many people down there are hoping that they will down there are hoping that they will do a walkabout so that they can see the new king. —— king charles i. and possibly shake hands. so, a lot of excitement here in dunfermline, very significant day for dunfermline and also a first public engagement for the new king king charles iii. i'm joined now by royal commentator and editor of crown chronicles, victoria howard. so, the king and queen consort getting straight down to work now that the period of royal morning has come to an end, we also saw the photograph at the weekend of the king and queen consort along with the prince and princess of wales, so, very symbolic i guess you would say of the new, slimmed down monarchy that we have been hearing

so much about? t monarchy that we have been hearing so much about?— so much about? i think so, and we definitely saw _ so much about? i think so, and we definitely saw the _ so much about? i think so, and we definitely saw the year, _ so much about? i think so, and we definitely saw the year, with - so much about? i think so, and we definitely saw the year, with the i definitely saw the year, with the platinum jubilee, definitely saw the year, with the platinumjubilee, because definitely saw the year, with the platinum jubilee, because that was a celebration of the queen and her dedication to duty but it also really set up charles as our future king, which of course he is now. i think this is an example of the royals showing william, setting him up, because of course charles is in his �*70s, and the windsors clearly have quite strong genes, but they are playing the long game, thinking about william as the next king, he has got a bit of a better reputation than charles in terms of the popularity he has with the public and the way that people perceive him, so i think it is very sensible of them to do that and people are actually dubbing them the new fab four. t actually dubbing them the new fab four. ., ., ., , ., actually dubbing them the new fab four. . ., . , ., . actually dubbing them the new fab four. ., ., ., ., ., four. i want to read you a quote from last _ four. i want to read you a quote from last year. _ four. i want to read you a quote from last year, i— four. i want to read you a quote from last year, i can _ four. i want to read you a quote from last year, i can only - four. i want to read you a quote from last year, i can only urge i four. i want to read you a quote - from last year, i can only urge you, as the world's decision—makers, to find practical ways of overcoming differences so we can all get down to work to save this precious planet. that was that then prince of wales. at cop26, in glasgow. but we

know now that the new prime minister, liz truss, has asked the king not to come to the next meeting, is the government missing out on an opportunity to have someone of his presence, who is known to be passionate about the environment, that cop meeting? possibly, but i do think it is important that we remember that charles' role has now shifted, as he is now the monarch, he has to toe the apolitical line, and he can't quite do the same things he did as prince of wales. so, because this is cop, it is the political leaders going, it may not be quite as appropriate as it once was for him to be there, to kind of rally that environmental message. maybe that is something william could take on, of course, nothing was mentioned about that, william is also a passionate interventionist, i am sure charles is disappointed that he can't go himself is something he has campaigned about for decades, but i

do think that he understands now that he can't do the things he used to do, he said for his 70th birthday in an interview, i understand that i can't write to ministers, for example, can carry on in the way that i have. so it is an adjustment and a shift that we are not used to seeing yet because this is so new for charles being our king, but i do think it is possibly sensible, and of course liz truss is very new to the role, she took on the job just before prince charles became king, so i think they are both kind of feeling the situation out and trying to learn how to work together. so, disappointing, but perhaps sensible. you can imagine that he clearly isn't going to switch off those views, he is not going to become apolitical about his passion for the environment, so, it will be interesting to see how he adjust, now that he is king, to any commentary that he might make on the subject? t do commentary that he might make on the sub'ect? ., ~' commentary that he might make on the sub'ect? ., ~ ,., ., , subject? i do think so, and it is unusual of— subject? i do think so, and it is unusual of course _ subject? i do think so, and it is unusual of course that - subject? i do think so, and it is unusual of course that we - subject? i do think so, and it is unusual of course that we have j subject? i do think so, and it is - unusual of course that we have the queen for 70 years, and if you think

about it you can't really pinpoint any of her opinions, we didn't really know what she thought about many topics, whereas charles, for 70 years, he was outspoken about many issues including the embodiment, so, it is unusual that we do know where he stands on a number of quite important issues, and arguably the environment is no longer a political issue, i don't think anyone contests that there is an issue that needs to be addressed, and very quickly. but i do think it is interesting that he will have to kind of shift away he communicates that message, he can't be quite as forceful perhaps as he has once been, but i definitely think he will be rallying to the cause of steel, talking to the right people, of course he has great connections, and now as monarch, perhaps a little bit more influence, but he is fully aware of the way he can and cannot speak about these things so it will be interesting to see how we continues to talk about this. . ., ., ., ., ., ., this. victoria howard, radio commentator, _ this. victoria howard, radio commentator, thank - this. victoria howard, radio commentator, thank you. l an investigation is underway

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. 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, it's 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. 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 40 at auction —

you're watching bbc news. hello again. as we go through this week, the weather is turning more unsettled, particularly tuesday night and wednesday when it's going to be pretty wet and windy for most of us. today, high pressure is clinging on across parts of england and wales, but low pressure with its attendant fronts coming in from the atlantic across scotland and northern ireland are going to bring thicker cloud, some rain and strengthening winds. by the end of this afternoon, we could have gusts as much as gale force around the outer hebrides. come further south, there are one or two showers across northern england, some coming in across the south, south wales, but for many parts of england and wales it will be dry with some sunny intervals. and temperatures 13 to 19 celsius. through this evening and overnight,

the rain continues across scotland, we see it edge into northern ireland and still windy. if anything, the wind picking up across england wales. so, tomorrow morning won't be as cold a start to the day as it was this morning and we are not anticipating any issues with fog or frost. talking of tomorrow, here are the weather fronts, they will eventually move out of scotland and northern ireland, weakening as they push in across england and wales, eradicating the bright start, and then behind them, for scotland and northern ireland, when the rain clears, we are looking at brighter sunny intervals and blustery showers. temperatures, while in the north we're looking at about 14 degrees, to a high of 20 as we sweep down towards london. now, through tuesday evening and into wednesday, it is going to be wet and windy and you can see why for wednesday's pressure chart. we've got a weather front sinking south and we also have a lot of isobars in the charts and we are looking at gales with exposure, especially in the west.

but even inland, it is going to be a windy day. gusty winds as the rain continues to push down towards the south east, you can see it curling up towards the north—east and we south—east you can see it curling up towards the north—east and we also have this rash of showers coming in from the west and some of those will be heavy. temperatures, ten to 18 celsius. on thursday, for some southern and eastern areas, we start off on a dry and a brighter note, but showers already in the west, again, some of them merging to give some longer spells of rain will be piling on and some of them will make it over towards the east. we do have breezy conditions, that breeze coming from the south—west, so he temperatures up to 19.

this is bbc news. i'mjoanna i'm joanna gosling. the headlines at 11am: the chancellor announces he's keeping the top rate of tax for the highest earners. that's despite the fact he pledged to scrap it in last month's mini budget. this 45p rate became a distraction and i along with the prime minister decided the best course of action would simply be not to proceed with the abolition of the rate. the u—turn comes just 24 hours after the prime minister insisted she'd stick with the controversial tax cut. are you absolutely committed to abolishing the 45p tax rate for the wealthiest people in the country? yes. no outright winner in the brazilian election — left—wing candidate luiz inacio lula da silva and right—wingerjair bolsonaro

will go to a second round run—off. an investigation's under way after at least 125 were killed in a crush at a football match in indonesia — one of the world's worst stadium disasters. the king and queen consort are undertaking joint public engagements today — their first since the end of the period of royal morning for the queen. could you go on an energy diet? we meet the family trying to save on their bills by turning down and switching off. the government has performed a huge u—turn and abandoned its plan to scrap the 45 pence

top rate of income tax. the announcement, from chancellor kwasi kwarteng, came just a day after the prime minister liz truss backed the policy. the prime minister liz truss in a statement, mr kwarteng said the 45p tax plan had become a "huge distraction" and that the government had "listened" to people's concerns. just yesterday, the prime minister agreed she was "absolutely committed" to the policy and said she would not abandon it. those earning more than £150,000 a year would have benefitted most, which a number of conservative mps had suggested would have been rejected when the policy came to a vote in the house of commons. in the market reaction to the u—turn, the pound jumped by more than a cent against the dollar. government borrowing costs also fell slightly to trade at around the level they were before mr kwarteng's "mini budget" ten days ago. earlier, the chancellor spoke to the bbc. we were focused on delivering the growth plan. there is a lot of good stuff in the growth plan. and what was clear talking to lots of people

up and down the country, talking to mps, talking to voters, talking to our constituents, was that the 45p rate was becoming a huge distraction on what was a very strong plan. so we have got energy intervention which is preventing bills going up to £6,500 next year. we are capping the average bill to £2,500. that is a huge saving. we have reversed the national insurance increase, tax increase, which has again saved the average person £330 in the year. we have also brought forward the cuts in the 1p, cut of 1p on the basic rate. these are strong pro—growth measures and the 45p rate was simply a distraction on what was a good set of packages, a good set of policies and a strong package. i have said that i take responsibility for it. and i have said that i have listened, i get the reaction, i have spoken to lots of people up and down the country, i have spoken to constituents, i have spoken to mps and councillors and other people in our political

system, but most importantly, i have listened to voters. and i am really convinced that the best thing to do now is not to proceed with the abolition of the 45p rate. this was the prime minister when interviewed by the bbc�*s laura kuenssberg just yesterday. are you absolutely committed to abolishing the 45% tax rate for the wealthiest in the country? yes. and it is part of an overall package of making our tax system simpler and lower. it is worth noting that in the package we announced the vast majority of that package is the energy package. we have talked about that, but i want to talk about... the 45p rate raises very little and makes the tax system more complicated. we need to move away from the idea that everything is about how we redistribute resources.

we also need to make sure that we have a tax system that is competitive internationally and is helping us bring in the investment and get people into work. you have said getting the economy going is your priority. did you discuss scrapping the top rate with your whole cabinet? no, we didn't. it was a decision that the chancellor made. that was liz truss just over 24 hours ago. our chief political correspondent nick eardley joins us from birmingham. bombshell after bombshell here, so what have the reaction beam to this one? ~ ., ., what have the reaction beam to this one? . . . ' . what have the reaction beam to this one? . . . , . ., what have the reaction beam to this one? . . , . ., , one? what a difference a day makes and as late as _ one? what a difference a day makes and as late as last _ one? what a difference a day makes and as late as last night _ one? what a difference a day makes and as late as last night senior- and as late as last night senior ministers were doing the rounds in

meetings and bars around the conference insisting that policy was the right one but my understanding is there was a series of meetings between the prime minister and the chancellor after that interview with laura kuenssberg yesterday where there was a growing acknowledgement that this policy was just unsellable, frankly. you had a growing number of tory mps sticking their heads above the parapet saying we don't back it, a growing number of people predicting the government would lose a vote in parliament on whether to scrap the additional rate of tax and ultimately when kwasi kwarteng and liz truss sat down for a late evening meeting in the hotel just over the road last night, it was done. they realised that tide had turned against him, this policy wasn't going to win the day and they would struggle to get it through parliament so kwasi kwarteng decided this morning he had tojunk it live

on the airwaves. this is damaging, its bruising, i think some will say it's humiliating for a government that has only been in office for a month in its current incarnation and there is still a question about whether backbenchers will see this as a enough. those ones who were angry the government had completely misjudged the political mood on this or angry about other things as well and speaking to some government ministers this morning they fear that liz truss has given away her authority, that now backbenchers who are not happy will feel emboldened to talk out and try to force her arm. one backbencher we heard from yesterday he was unhappy with grant shapps, the former cabinet minister, and i caught up with him this morning about the news this colossal u—turn was happening. i'd spoken to the chancellor and i'd spoken to the prime minister over the weekend and said that

you know, knocking on doors, it was very, very clear that this 45p issue was crowding out all the other good stuff like that massive energy cap which is designed to help millions of people. i was talking to people on the doorstep who were simply saying, look, i'm going to have to take on a second job. i'll have to work extra shifts. i'm so concerned about my mortgage. and my understanding now is that the money you are borrowing as a government to fund tax cuts for the people who are the wealthiest is one of the reasons why these mortgage rates are going up. so it's very, very important they acted to sever that link and that is what they are doing this morning and i strongly welcome that. you said some of the adjectives being used to describe this u—turn, damaging, humiliating. in terms of the economics and the government strategy going forward, we heard that interview with liz truss yesterday where she said there has to be a different approach to thinking about everything in terms

of redistribution. does that now have to be rethought? t’m of redistribution. does that now have to be rethought?— of redistribution. does that now have to be rethought? i'm not sure about that- — have to be rethought? i'm not sure about that. the _ have to be rethought? i'm not sure about that. the message _ have to be rethought? i'm not sure about that. the message from - have to be rethought? i'm not sure about that. the message from the | about that. the message from the chancellor on his broadcast round this morning was it'sjust chancellor on his broadcast round this morning was it's just this chancellor on his broadcast round this morning was it'sjust this part of the planet we are junking, because we think the other stuff is really good and there are however the top rate of tax was becoming a distraction, the word he repeatedly used this morning, so the government wants to stick to the rest of the plan, bringing down the basic rate of income tax next year, wants to stick to not putting up corporation tax and reversing the increase to national insurance and importantly for a lot of people watching it will stick by its energy plan so in that sense this doesn't massively alter the dynamics when it comes to the amount of unfunded borrowing the government is doing the from a plan that was costing about £45 billion this is about 2 billion so it's a bit of a drop in the fiscal ocean,

but whatever the economic is of this, the government had been forced to a point where the politics meant that sticking with this policy was unwinnable and that is why they made their decision this morning. thank ou, their decision this morning. thank you. joining _ their decision this morning. thank you. joining us — their decision this morning. thank you, joining us live _ their decision this morning. thank you, joining us live from - their decision this morning. thank you, joining us live from the - you, joining us live from the conservative party conference in birmingham. let's get the response from theo leggett. how have the markets been reacting? the reaction has been muted. _ markets been reacting? the reaction has been muted. if— markets been reacting? the reaction has been muted. if you _ markets been reacting? the reaction has been muted. if you look - markets been reacting? the reaction has been muted. if you look at - markets been reacting? the reaction has been muted. if you look at the i has been muted. if you look at the two markets most affected, the value of the pound has gone up a small amount clubs around that level it was before the chancellor began speaking ten days ago and the yield on uk government bonds which affects the cost to the uk treasury borrowing in the price of fixed rate mortgages has gone down a little but not much and the reason is that although this is a politically significant u—turn, the decision not

to go ahead with the abolition of the 45p tax rate, in economic terms is pretty small beer. as nick mentioned the cost of it would have been about £2 billion, sounds like a lot but we are talking about a tax—cutting package worth £45 billion and international investors are focused on how the government will pay for that, what are its spending plans, how much will it have two boroughs and the fact the office of budgetary responsibility has not had any input so far that has not had any input so far that has been made public, all this has made investors worried so you can say markets or in a holding pattern, waiting to hear what the government has to say about its tax and spending plans and how they will be funded. the 45p red, politically significant, economic elite less significant. tom peters is head of advocacy at tax justice uk,

a campaigning organisation which says it wants to ensure everyone in the uk benefits from a fair tax system. he is in birmingham for the conservative party conference. what is your reaction to that reversal of the 45 peak capped? the chancellor has finally responded _ the 45 peak capped? the chancellor has finally responded to _ the 45 peak capped? the chancellor has finally responded to pressure i has finally responded to pressure from mps, campaigners and the public and got rid of one of the huge giveaways to the wealthiest people being proposed but our question is does this go far enough? there are still several tax cuts going to the wealthy that the chancellor plans to continue with during the cost of living crisis and we have a question whether that is fair or sustainable. which of the other tax cuts you would look at? the which of the other tax cuts you would look at?— which of the other tax cuts you would look at? the corporation tax cut is one we _ would look at? the corporation tax cut is one we would _ would look at? the corporation tax cut is one we would look _ would look at? the corporation tax cut is one we would look at, - would look at? the corporation tax cut is one we would look at, about| cut is one we would look at, about an 80 billion give away to some of the biggest companies in the country and that seems unfair when people

are really struggling with bills. how do you see the balance on that in terms of a driver for economic growth because corporation tax is arguably different from a cut in tax on salaried income? brute arguably different from a cut in tax on salaried income?— arguably different from a cut in tax on salaried income? we have had very low rates of — on salaried income? we have had very low rates of corporation _ on salaried income? we have had very low rates of corporation tax _ on salaried income? we have had very low rates of corporation tax over - low rates of corporation tax over the last few years and that hasn't delivered to growth the chancellor is promising so keeping those cuts were keeping a low right, there is no clear evidence that would deliver growth and we need the tax system to raise revenue to support people and invest in our economy rather than cuts to public spending with the chancellor said today were how he would pay for these measures including the corporation tax cuts. one of the clear suggestions of where spending is going to be held backis

where spending is going to be held back is on public services and that they will not be operated in line with inflation which the institute for fiscal studies says would mean an £80 billion in real terms cut in each of the next two years. what is your reaction to that?— each of the next two years. what is your reaction to that? that's almost the exact amount, _ your reaction to that? that's almost the exact amount, so _ your reaction to that? that's almost the exact amount, so that _ your reaction to that? that's almost the exact amount, so that seems i your reaction to that? that's almost l the exact amount, so that seems like a strange read across from public services to corporate tax cuts and there are 7 million people waiting for a hospital appointment at the moment and we felt like we should be putting that money into public services especially when people will be so reliant on them as a result of the cost of living crisis and as we recover from the pandemic so we should be investing more in public services and using the tax system to raise revenues to make sure we have the funding to do that and the chancellor hasn't gone far enough by

simply reversing one of the tax cuts for the very wealthiest. d0 simply reversing one of the tax cuts for the very wealthiest.— for the very wealthiest. do you share any _ for the very wealthiest. do you share any of — for the very wealthiest. do you share any of the _ for the very wealthiest. do you share any of the government's| share any of the government's concerned that continuing with the trajectory the economy and policy have been on is unsustainable, i.e. the highest tax rate or tax burden for 70 years, sluggish growth and obviously inflation operating what is needed in terms of keeping public spending at present levels? ta)»: is spending at present levels? tax is about political— spending at present levels? tax is about political choices _ spending at present levels? tax is about political choices and - spending at present levels? tax is about political choices and we - spending at present levels? tax is about political choices and we feel this government has made the wrong ones and you could use the tax system to tax the very wealthy and invest that money in our economy and get it moving so our criticism is that they have made the wrong choices, ratherthan that they have made the wrong choices, rather than focusing too much on the overall tax write we should think about he was being asked to pay and whether that is the

most effective for our economy and will really drive investment and for us the wealthy should pay more given they have the broadest shoulders. tom peters from tax just they have the broadest shoulders. tom peters from taxjust uk, thank you. sonia souder, welcome. liz truss saying yesterday she would go ahead with that cat and that the chancellor is saying it has been spiked. chancellor is saying it has been siked. �* , ., chancellor is saying it has been siked. v ., ., chancellor is saying it has been siked. �*, . ., ., chancellor is saying it has been siked. ., ., ., spiked. it's a matter of politics and it looked _ spiked. it's a matter of politics and it looked very _ spiked. it's a matter of politics and it looked very unlikely - spiked. it's a matter of politics j and it looked very unlikely that spiked. it's a matter of politics . and it looked very unlikely that liz truss and kwasi kwarteng could get this 45p income tax cut through their own party. many of their own mps and conservative donors have been saying we don't need or want this money, it makes us look bad so it's something they wanted to do, to give this massive tax cut to millionaires which would have delivered a £40,000 tax cut to

people on £1 million or more but they have been forced to u—turn because mps in their own party are prepared to support it but as your previous guest said, this still leaves tens of billions of unfunded tax cuts which they have not said how they will fund and which could require serious cuts to the nhs and education and working age benefits. as you have indicated, the real—life reaction to what their intended strategy was in terms of the markets and their own party members indicates they cannot necessarily proceed with what they wanted to do so going forward, do you expect there may be more challenges to the authority of liz truss and kwasi kwarteng in terms of what they tried to do? ~ , , ., , kwarteng in terms of what they tried to do? absolutely. conservative mps do not allow — to do? absolutely. conservative mps do not allow liz _ to do? absolutely. conservative mps do not allow liz truss _ to do? absolutely. conservative mps do not allow liz truss to _ to do? absolutely. conservative mps do not allow liz truss to say - do not allow liz truss to say loyalty as they felt they owed boris

johnson. she has never won a general election and many of them worry that her qualities could lose them their seats in the next election and the fact they have secured a u—turn on the 45p tax rate will definitely embolden tory rebels and a lot of conservative mps are worried not just about the tax rate but the implications introducing tens of billions of pounds of tax cuts without saying how you will fund them will have for their constituents. the independent resolution foundation said if you are going to do it through spending cuts you have to do spending cuts on the scale george osborne did back at the scale george osborne did back at the beginning of the decade. this is at a time when the nhs is already in crisis, it was last month in september, the nhs is struggling as a result of underfunding for a decade and two years of pandemic. head teachers say some primary schools might not be viable without

extra financial support because of rising energy bills and the cost of staff so public services are already in this place where they had been pared back to the berm and there isn't a space to cut more money and you also have tax credits for low—paid parents. rishi sunak guaranteed those would go up in line with inflation as they normally do it next april but kwasi kwarteng and liz truss have refused to give that commitment, which suggest they are thinking about imposing real terms cuts of 10% in benefits on low—paid parents. that will affect children and people with disabilities and lots of conservative mps are worried about that. ~ ., , , ., about that. where does this leave labour, about that. where does this leave labour. which _ about that. where does this leave labour, which has _ about that. where does this leave labour, which has benefited - labour, which has benefited enormously in the polls so far with labour's plans, they are obviously supportive of the energy support and

thatis supportive of the energy support and that is the biggest bulk of the public expenditure and in terms of the other aspects you mention, that would also mean big levels of public expenditure. taking out the 45p tax rate argument is quite a political one but it was quite a potent one for labour to mount so in terms of the arguments going forward, how do you see it? t the arguments going forward, how do ou see it? , . , , you see it? i expect they will focus on the impact _ you see it? i expect they will focus on the impact any _ you see it? i expect they will focus on the impact any public _ you see it? i expect they will focus on the impact any public spending | on the impact any public spending cuts liz truss or kwasi kwarteng are set to announce will have and that is probably where their focus will be. the gap between the conservatives and labour has really opened up in the polls, several polls now put labour on of over 20 points, some on leads of over 30 points. obviously labour will focus on the 45p tax but the truth is that

cuts save some money but not very much for this big hole. everyone is in favour of the energy support package, labour got out and said they thought energy bill should be frozen for weeks before the conservatives did so i don't think thatis conservatives did so i don't think that is the issue, i think the markets are expecting that but the issueis markets are expecting that but the issue is tens of billions of unfunded tax cuts that the country cannot afford at this moment. thank ou, sonia cannot afford at this moment. thank you, sonia souder. _ a man has apeeared court in liverpool charged with the milder of olivia pratt korbel — the nine—year—old who was killed at her home in august. another man also appeared in court, charged with assisting an offender. our correspodent nick garnett reports from outside liverpool magistrates court. so, two men have appeared in court this morning. the first was a man called paul russell,

he appeared before the three magistrates at liverpool magistrate's court, wearing jogging pants, trainers and a black athletic t—shirt, his hands were handcuffed throughout the proceedings, he was led in by police officers, he spoke to confirm his name and address and age. he is charged with assisting an offender by driving an offender away from the scene of a crime and disposing of clothing. he was told he will next appear in court at the end of this month. then, thomas cashman was led into court, his address was given as west derby in liverpool, about two miles away from the home of olivia, who was shot and died six weeks ago in her house in the dovecote area. mr cashman stood looking at the ground throughout the proceedings and did not raise his head. in the public gallery were cheryl korbel and john pratt, olivia's parents, both of them stared at the men in the dock throughout the proceedings

unblinkingly. at one point, cheryl korbel wiped away tears from her eyes, but they sat throughout the proceedings listening to everything that was happening. mr cashman was told that he will next appear in court at two o'clock this afternoon. after the end of the proceedings, which were fairly short, he was led away and will be back as i say this afternoon at liverpool crown court. today the king and queen consort will attend their first joint public engagement, marking the end of the royal period of morning for the late queen. the couple will visit dunfermline in fife as part of the celebrations to mark its new city status. we have some pictures that have just come through of them doing a walkabout where crowds gathered outside dunfermline city chambers and there you can see big crowds for this firstjoint public engagement after the official period of royal morning came to an end for queen

like they got out of the car and went to meet the crowds. it is a bit busier at the moment up towards the city chambers just to see that initial arrival of the royal couple and they were greeted by the secretary of state for scotland alisterjack and scotland's first minister nicola sturgeon and i went inside the city chambers for a special moment not only for that first visit, that first engagement in scotland, but also to bestow official city status here in dunfermline. forabout official city status here in dunfermline. for about a decade now dunfermline. for about a decade now dunfermline has put in that bit to get city status and it was bestowed during the queen's platinum jubilee celebrations so a very special day here in dunfermline for king charles iii to here in dunfermline for king charles ii! to come and finally formally

iii to come and finally formally make dunfermline a set date so that will be happening just 80 minutes from here in the city chambers and then we will see the king and kamala come down and make crowds. some people have been waiting since it was dark for several hours hoping he will also do a walkabout so they can see the royal couple close—up. we are just outside dunfermline abbey. the royal couple will go inside the abbey. this place is steeped in royal history. we understand seven or eight kings are buried here and outside the abbey. one of the most famous is probably robert the bruce and up on top of the abbey there his namejust carved out and up on top of the abbey there his name just carved out in that stone here and the last monarch to be born in scotland was born here in dunfermline. that was king charles

the first, so quite fitting that today king charles ii! is coming to dunfermline for his first official engagement in the crowds below are waiting patiently for the royal couple to arrive and then they will go to edinburgh to the palace of holyroodhouse where they will host at reception so a special day in dunfermline as king charles ii! begins his reign with a special visit to dunfermline today. thank ou, visit to dunfermline today. thank you, alexandra. _ visit to dunfermline today. thank you, alexandra. now— visit to dunfermline today. thank you, alexandra. now time - visit to dunfermline today. thank you, alexandra. now time for. visit to dunfermline today. thank you, alexandra. now time for a l visit to dunfermline today. thank i you, alexandra. now time for a look at the weather with carol. hello again. as we go through this week, particularly tuesday night

into wednesday, it's looking like the weather is going to turn rather wet and windy for most of us today. we've got rain moving in across scotland, strengthening winds. that rain arriving in northern ireland later. it will be preceded by a few showers. but for england and for wales, mostly dry. we could see a few showers coming up from the south later on with some sunny intervals, temperatures 13 to 19 degrees. overnight the rain piles in across scotland, and northern ireland, strengthening winds gusting to gale force around the outer hebrides, gusty winds, too, across england and wales. and as a result, it's not going to be as cold tonight as last night. so tomorrow the rain eventually moves away from scotland to northern ireland and it crosses england and wales, doesn't get into the far southeast. still windy around it, blustery showers and some sunny spells following into scotland and northern ireland with temperatures 14 in the north to 20 in the south.

hello, this is bbc news. the headlines. the chancellor announces he's keeping the top rate of tax for the highest earners. that's despite the fact he pledged to scrap it — in last month's mini—budget

is at... let's go back to our main story and that surprise announcement by the chancellor, kwasi kwarteng this morning that the government will not press ahead with his plan to scrap the 45 pence top rate of income tax. this comes a day after the prime minister had said she was "absolutely committed" to the policy. mr kwarteng told my colleague jon kay on bbc breakfast earlier, that the government had "listened" to concerns about the plan, so—called mini budget crashed the markets and has resulted in notjust higher borrowing costs for government, but also hiring mortgage rates for everybody else. people are incredibly worried as they come to the end of fixed—rate mortgage deals or if they are trying to get on the housing ladderfor the or if they are trying to get on the housing ladder for the first time of how they are going to afford it. that is the responsibility and it is down the mini budget from the prime minister and the chancellor, so much damage has already been done.

forecast, so that we can all assess the impact of the tax and spending measures announced in the fiscal statement a week—and—a—half ago, there is no time to waste, we have already seen because of the chancellor and the prime minister, a big spike in borrowing costs for people with mortgages, and for businesses with business loans, the government now need to get a grip, they should reverse their budget, recall parliament to do so and rethink their whole approach which is doing such damage to ordinary working people and businesses across the country. brazil's presidential election is heading for a second—round run—off after no candidate won 50% of the vote. the socialist former president luiz inacio lula da silva has 48%, the right—wing incumbent jair bolsonaro won 44% of the vote. lula was tipped to win this first round outright, and when he didn't, he acknowledged he and his supporters have a lot of work to do over the next few weeks until the run—off at the end of october. our south america correspondent

katy watson reports from sao paulo. cheering. there were cheers for lula as well as tears that this wasn't the outright victory that his supporters had hoped for. polls had predicted a 14 percentage point gap between him and bolsonaro, but they'd vastly underestimated the support for the right wing leader. after the results, lula said there would be no let up in campaigning. translation: i've never won an election in the first round. | it's like destiny wants me to work a bit more. we are going to win the election again. it's just a question of time. meanwhile, bolsonaro had this to say. translation: i know there's a desire to change from people, _ but there are certain changes that will end up worse, and we tried to show that during the campaign, but clearly that it didn't get through to the most important part of society. these elections were seen as the most important since brazil

returned to democracy in the 1980s. 11 candidates were running, but only two were realistic options. the leftist former leader with a legacy of corruption, or a far right president criticised for his democratic record. the queues was on sunday showed people cared about the outcome. this weekend, bolsonaro fans paraded their candidate ahead of what they saw as a guaranteed win. they don't believe the polls. they wanted a first round victory too, and they won't give up their fight. why not believe in democracy? it's time to change. that's change. we like change peacefully. city," this man tells me. "i'm prepared to kill all the socialists and communists in the world." after sunday's results, lula fans remained upbeat. i'm not disappointed, actually, because i already expected

that we wouldn't win at the first turn. but at least we are ahead in the overall results. bolsonaro said that polls are a lie. do you think that he's got a point? i think he will... i think he will be a bad loser. so what do you make of the result? we were expecting to make it on the first turn, but we are very happy that it's a win, and we are really, really happy, and the second turn is going to be lula. and we can't stand bolsonaro any more. i'm an lgbt person, and we want our rights, and we want our people to have a voice in this country. there is an atmosphere much more of relief than a victory parade. the race to the presidency is far from over. the next few weeks will see intense campaigning, and it's about to become much more personal. two political foes now going head—to—head to lead latin america's biggest nation. there is concern this race could also get violent. katy watson, bbc news, in sao paulo.

people round the world understand in terms of brazil, because of what has been happening with the amazon rain forest are and jair bolsonaro wanting to economically exploit that, so, lula is coming from a different perspective on that, but when you look at the other issues that affect brazilian, cost of living, same as everywhere else, how do the candidates stack up on that? first it will be difficult, but this indicates it will be difficult to roll back a lot of the deforestation slash and policies bolsonaro unleashed. on the economy you are right. your are looking at close to 10% inflation, under the past eight years the economy has grown or contracted by negative 1%. it will be difficult, by the same token bolsonaro, while he claims he is from the right—wing is not that fiscally prudent. he engages in packages and cash give away problems that have left the government $12.2

billion in debt, in terms of its fiscal policy, you have 90% debt, gdp, how the both candidates will scare this when you have 33 million brazilians, the last six months have experienced hunger. it will be very difficult. there is little space do this. ., ., . this. you mentioned the concern round violence, _ this. you mentioned the concern round violence, is _ this. you mentioned the concern round violence, is that _ this. you mentioned the concern round violence, is that because l this. you mentioned the concern. round violence, is that because of the... tt round violence, is that because of the... ,, , ., , . the... it is because of this, which adds fuel to _ the... it is because of this, which adds fuel to the _ the... it is because of this, which adds fuel to the fire _ the... it is because of this, which adds fuel to the fire but - the... it is because of this, which adds fuel to the fire but by i the... it is because of this, which adds fuel to the fire but by the i adds fuel to the fire but by the same token you have bolsonaro claiming if he loses, he will only be through fraud and he is, for the last couple of month, he has sewn doubt about the security of the electoral system and the supreme court, the electoral tribunal and there is a real risk, given how fervent supporters are, should he lose on october 30th and should bit a close election he will throw—in to doubt the elections and call his supporters to protest on the streets and that could be problematic. ? you

said at the beginning you new the polling was wrong and it predicted an outright victory for luiz inacio lula da silva, so with the voting as, most of the votes counted it is 48% for him and 43% forjair bolsonaro. are you going to call what you think the outcome will be? this is a tough one! i will though, i am willing to be wrong i think lula will win, it will be close, it will depend on two candidates who ran, who combined for 8% of the vote. who they break for, both candidates have high disapproval rate, there a ceiling how high they can do, these two candidates that ran, there are a total of 11 in the election, how they throw their weight behind the next candidate will depend, shape who wins but it will depend, shape who wins but it will be a close election and ugly. we are out of time but that is interesting what you say about they

to tackle bills this winter. one family has agreed to take part in an experiment and go on an "energy diet" to see if they can save money. 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 and 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! 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 your 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 them when they're full. and the powders are so good now, your washing machine can run at 30, not 40. 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? 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, yeah,

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 gets a bit colder! 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 known as �*the disappeared'. investigators have recovered the remains of 13 people, but four remain missing. the un is calling for ukraine to urgently release thousands of disabled people from its network of orphanages. it's after a bbc investigation revealed abuse and neglect in the country's institutions. the team were asked to give evidence to the committee after they found severely malnourished children; teenagers tied to benches and adults living in cots. the committee also highlighted the atrocities committed against disabled people since the russian invasion. danjohnson reports from geneva. 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 oleg — trapped in a bedridden existence, denied the chance 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. deinstitutionalisation. it also calls for alternative

care in the community, so that disabled people can live independently or with families. 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 i 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. 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. 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. an investigation is under way after a stampede killed at least 125 people at a football station in indonesia. the crush happened after police tear—gassed fans who invaded the pitch. valdya ba raputri reports

hebrides further south there are one or two showers in northern england, some in the south, south wales but for many parts of england and wales it will be dry, with some sunny intervals and temperatures 13—19 degrees. through this evening and overnight the rain continues across scotland. we see it edge into northern ireland, and still windy and if anything the wind picking up across england and wales. so tomorrow morning won't be as cold a start to day as it was this morning, and we are not anticipating any issues with fog or frost. so talking of tomorrow, here are the weather front, they will move out of scotland, and northern ireland, weakening as they push in across england and wales, eradicating the bright start and behind them for scotland and northern ireland, when the rain clears we are looking at bright or sunny intervals an blustery showers and temperatures, in the north we are looking at 14 degrees, to a high of 20, as we sweep down towards london. now,

through tuesday evening and into wednesday, it is going to be wet and windy and you can see why for weans pressure chart, we have a weather front sinking south. a lot of isobars on the charts and we are looking at gales with exposure, specially in the west. even inland it is going to be a windy day, gusty winds as the rain continues to push down towards the south—east, you can see it curling back up to the north east, and we also have this rash of showers, coming in from the west, and some of those will be heavy. temperatures 10—18 degree, on thursday, for southern and eastern areas we start off on a dry and bright note. showers already in the west, again some of them merging to give longer spells will be piling in and some will make it over towards the east. but we do have breezy conditions, that breeze coming from the south—west, so temperatures up to 19.

good afternoon. the government has performed a huge u—turn and abandoned its plan to scrap the 45p top rate of income tax. the announcement, from chancellor kwasi kwarteng, came just a day after the prime minister liz truss backed the policy. in a statement, mr kwarteng said the 45p tax plan had become a "huge distraction" and that the government had "listened" to people's concerns. just yesterday, the prime minister agreed she was "absolutely committed" to the policy and said she would not abandon it. those earning more than £150,000 a year would have benefitted most, which a number of conservative mps had suggested would have been rejected when the policy came to a vote in the house of commons. in the market reaction to the u—turn, the pound jumped by more than a cent against the dollar. government borrowing costs also fell slightly to trade at around the level they were before mr kwarteng's "mini budget" ten days ago. earlier, the chancellor spoke to the bbc. we were focused on delivering the growth plan. there is a lot of good

stuff in the growth plan. and what was clear talking to lots of people up and down the country, talking to mps, talking to voters, talking to our constituents, was that the 45p rate was becoming a huge distraction on what was a very strong plan. so we have got energy intervention which is preventing bills going up to £6,500 next year. we are capping the average bill to £2,500. that is a huge saving. we have reversed the national insurance increase, tax increase, which has again saved the average person £330 in the year. we have also brought forward the cuts in the 1p, cut of 1p on the basic rate. these are strong pro—growth measures and the 45p rate was simply a distraction on what was a good set of packages, a good set of policies and a strong package. i have said that i take responsibility for it. and i've said that i have listened,

i get the reaction, i've spoken to lots of people up and down the country, i have spoken to constituents, i have spoken to mps and councillors and other people in our political system, but most importantly, i've listened to voters. and i am really convinced that the best thing to do now is not to proceed with the abolition of the 45p rate. this was the prime minister when interviewed by the bbc�*s laura kuenssberg just yesterday. are you absolutely committed to abolishing the 45p tax rate for the wealthiest people in the country? yes, and it is part of an overall package of making our tax system simpler and lower. but i think it is worth noting in the package we announced, the vast majority of that package is the energy package. and we have talked a lot about that, but i want to talk about this... is the energy package, the national insurance, the 45p rate actually raises very little and makes our tax system more complicated. we need to move away,

we need to move away from the idea that everything is about how we redistribute resources. we also need to make sure we have got a tax system that is competitive internationally and it's helping us bring in the investment, get people into work,... you've made it very clear that getting the economy going is your priority... did you discuss scrapping the top rate with your whole cabinet? no, we didn't, it was a decision that the chancellor made. earlier i spoke to our political correspondent nick eardley who's at the conservative party conference in birmingham. he told me what reaction there'd been there to today's announcement. what a difference a day makes, eh? as late as last night senior ministers were doing the rounds in meetings and bars around the conference insisting that the policy was the right one but my understanding is there was a series of meetings between the prime minister and the chancellor after that interview with laura kuenssberg

yesterday where there was a growing acknowledgement that this policy was just unsellable, frankly. you had a growing number of tory mps sticking their heads above the parapet saying, we don't back it, a growing number of people predicting the government would lose a vote in parliament on whether to scrap the additional rate of tax and ultimately when kwasi kwarteng and liz truss sat down for a late evening meeting in the hoteljust over the road last night, it was done. they realised that the tide had turned against them, this policy wasn't going to win the day and they would struggle to get it through parliament so kwasi kwarteng decided this morning he had tojunk it live on the airwaves. what does this all mean? it's damaging, it's bruising, i think some will say it's

humiliating for a government that has only been in office for a month in its current incarnation and there is still a question about whether backbenchers will see this as enough. those ones who were angry the government had completely misjudged the political mood on this are angry about other things as well and speaking to some government ministers this morning they fear that liz truss has basically given away her authority, that now backbenchers who are not happy will feel to talk out about it and try to force her arm. one backbencher we heard from yesterday who was unhappy with grant shapps, the former cabinet minister, and i caught up with him this morning about the news this colossal u—turn was happening. i'd spoken to the chancellor and prime minister at the weekend. knocking on doors, it was very clear that the 45p issue was clouding out, crowding out, all the other good stuff like the massive energy cap which is designed to help millions of people.

i was talking to people on the doorstep who were saying, i'm going to have to get a second job, i'm going to have to work extra shifts, i'm so concerned about my mortgage, and my understanding is that the money that you are borrowing as a government to fund tax cuts for the people who are the wealthiest is one of the reasons why these mortgage rates are going up. so it's very, very important that we acted to sever the link, and that is what they are doing this morning and i strongly welcome that. nick, you said some of the adjectives being used to describe this u—turn, damaging, humiliating. in terms of the economics and the government strategy going forward, we heard that interview with liz truss yesterday where she said there has to be a different approach to thinking about everything in terms of redistribution. does that now have to be rethought? i'm not sure about that. the message from the chancellor on his broadcast round this morning was it's just this part

of the plan we are junking, because we think the other stuff is really good and there are however is really good and the row over the top rate of tax was becoming a distraction, the word he repeatedly used this morning, so the government wants to stick to the rest of the plan, bringing down the basic rate of income tax next year, wants to stick to not putting up corporation tax and reversing the increase to national insurance and importantly for a lot of people watching, it will stick by its energy plan so in that sense this doesn't massively alter the dynamics when it comes to the amount of unfunded borrowing the government is doing from a plan that was costing billion this is about 2 billion so it's a bit of a drop in the fiscal ocean, but whatever the economics of this, the government had been forced to a point where the politics meant that sticking with this policy was unwinnable and that is why they

made their decision this morning. nick eardley. joining me from westminster is pat mcfadden, shadow chief secretary to the treasury. is this a government in listening mode? ., �* , . is this a government in listening mode? ., �*, ., ., mode? no, it's a government in chaos. mode? no, it's a government in chaos- this _ mode? no, it's a government in chaos. this started _ mode? no, it's a government in chaos. this started with - mode? no, it's a government in chaos. this started with a i mode? no, it's a government in i chaos. this started with a reckless choice to announce a lot of borrowing to fund tax cuts and that has led to the chaos over the past ten days. it has destroyed the conservative party's economic credibility and even more seriously it has undermined trust in the uk economy so a lot of damage has been done and i'm afraid the people who brought you the damage cannot be the people to fix it. figs

brought you the damage cannot be the people to fix it— people to fix it. as you say there are other tax _ people to fix it. as you say there are other tax cuts _ people to fix it. as you say there are other tax cuts the _ people to fix it. as you say there are other tax cuts the tories i people to fix it. as you say there l are other tax cuts the tories have put forward. labour are's previous position with that you would reverse the 45p tax cuts so that is obviously now off the table. what about the 19p, previously the party said it would stick with it but andy burnham has said that should go as well. ., , burnham has said that should go as well. . , ., burnham has said that should go as well. ., , ., ., ., well. our view was we would not go into a general— well. our view was we would not go into a general election _ well. our view was we would not go into a general election promising i well. our view was we would not go into a general election promising to increase income tax for 13 million people. i've been in campaigns like that in the past and i know how they end so our objection to this was always that the government shouldn't be raising taxes on working people in the middle of a cost of living crisis but even more important than individual measures, you have to look at this in the round. when you take the energy package and the

series of tax cuts announced, far too much of it was funded purely by borrowing. fartoo too much of it was funded purely by borrowing. far too little of it was funded by compensatory mergers, for example an expansion of the windfall tax, and this was done in a way that undermined the institutions that are there to safeguard the uk's economic credibility, namely the 0br, the treasury and the bank of england. it was done in a reckless manner. to go back to what — was done in a reckless manner. to go back to what you _ was done in a reckless manner. to go back to what you said _ was done in a reckless manner. to go back to what you said about _ was done in a reckless manner. to go back to what you said about your view of the 19p base rate, the 1p cut, you wouldn't go into an election site you would put up voters' taxes. you were talking about politics but labour is talking about politics but labour is talking about wanting to be the party of fiscal responsibility, that was said at the labour party conference. if you are doing that, don't you have to turn around these unfunded tax

will feel in their mortgage payments over the coming years is the announcement of a large degree of unfunded tax cuts done in a way, as i said... , ., unfunded tax cuts done in a way, as isaid... , ., , i said... sorry to interrupt you... it has undermined _ i said... sorry to interrupt you... it has undermined the _ it has undermined the institutions... it has undermined the institutions. . .- it has undermined the institutions... ~ , ., _ institutions... we 'ust need to say aoodb e institutions... we 'ust need to say goodbye to _ institutions... we just need to say goodbye to viewers _ institutions... we just need to say goodbye to viewers on _ institutions... we just need to say goodbye to viewers on bbc - institutions... we just need to say goodbye to viewers on bbc two. l institutions... we just need to say i goodbye to viewers on bbc two. sorry to interrupt you. just picking up on the unfunded tax cuts and you accept that labour would need to have public borrowing to pay for the energy support that the government has announced, which has been bigger than labour was previously talking about but that you now support, and on the issue of interest rates and putting that down to what has happened with this mini budget, kwasi kwarteng this morning said that's the part of this country was

on. we have had inflation atjust under 10% and forecast to go forward. interest rates were coming down the track anyway with that because the bank of england's target is 2%. , ., .. ., , ., is 2%. these other factors that the chancellor and _ is 2%. these other factors that the chancellor and other _ is 2%. these other factors that the chancellor and other government. chancellor and other government spokespeople have pointed to were a reason not to do the package they announced a week ago on friday. by announcing such a package at a time when inflation was already high and the bank of england was already raising interest rates, it poured fuel on the fire. the chancellor then pour even more fuel on the fat when he went on tv and date later and said they would be more unfunded tax cuts, we will do more of this so even though there had already been an adverse market reaction to what he announced on the friday post, he promised to double down and in doing that he showed great

irresponsibility and that will be paid for by mortgage payers when they refinance over the next year or two. they will be paying the tory government premium on their mortgage payments because of the irresponsibility of this package and because of the undermining of the institutions that are there to safeguard the uk plus my economic credibility. it has been a triumph of ideology over economic. pat mcfadden. _ of ideology over economic. pat mcfadden, shadow chief secretary to the treasury, thank you forjoining us. let's catch up with the sport and the latest from holly. we have a bottom of the table clash between players and managers. bruno lago was sacked by wolves following the defeat to west ham and our run

to secure the biggest win of his career and his fourth ranking title overall. that'sjust career and his fourth ranking title overall. that's just about it from me but the women's champions league draw is taking place right now so we will find out who chelsea and arsenal will play in the group stage of the competition. all the details are on the bbc sport website. i will bring you more throughout the afternoon. see you then. a man has apeeared court in liverpool charged with the murder of olivia pratt—korbel, the nine—year—old who was killed at her home in august. another man also appeared in court, charged with assisting an offender. nick garnett is in liverpool for us. what is the latest? the two men a- eared what is the latest? the two men appeared in _ what is the latest? the two men appeared in court _ what is the latest? the two men appeared in court one _ what is the latest? the two men appeared in court one after i what is the latest? the two men appeared in court one after the . appeared in court one after the other. thomas cashman spoke only to confirm his name, age and address. he lives less than two miles from

the pound a little higher but the ftse 100 and the pound a little higher but the ftse100 and stock markets are still lower, caught up in broadness across europe. the lower, caught up in broadness across euroe. ., . ., , europe. the chancellor said this mornin: europe. the chancellor said this morning when — europe. the chancellor said this morning when he _ europe. the chancellor said this morning when he made - europe. the chancellor said this morning when he made the i europe. the chancellor said this i morning when he made the u-turn europe. the chancellor said this - morning when he made the u-turn that morning when he made the u—turn that it's not right to put what was in that mini budget as being the driving force behind what's been happening with the markets and interest rates because the background in terms of the economy has been a difficult one, inflation atjust under 10% has been a difficult one, inflation at just under 10% forecast to keep going up. how would you see it? t going up. how would you see it? i think there is no doubt there is a link between what we have seen in terms of the budget on the market reaction, we saw this huge fallout in terms of the pound slumping to an all—time low, a big decline in the uk government borrowing market in anticipation of a sharp increase in

borrowing demand the government on the back of its spending plans and plans for tax cuts and the chancellor said this is linked to the moves we saw in the bond market last week but that seems surprising because his announcement has allowed some reprieve for the markets to date including the gilt market. we have seen bond prices move higher this morning, extending gains after that dramatic intervention from the bank of england last week to stem further financial contagion and a negative impact on some of the uk's largest pension funds. th negative impact on some of the uk's largest pension funds.— largest pension funds. in terms of the overall— largest pension funds. in terms of the overall package _ largest pension funds. in terms of the overall package of _ largest pension funds. in terms of the overall package of unfunded i largest pension funds. in terms of. the overall package of unfunded tax cuts which is about £45 billion, the amount that the 45p cut was going to cost was about £2 billion so it's a tiny amount in that context. obviously very politically significant so that remains for the

markets and for everyone else in terms of how it's perceived. yes. markets and for everyone else in terms of how it's perceived. yes, i think what — terms of how it's perceived. yes, i think what the — terms of how it's perceived. yes, i think what the chancellor - terms of how it's perceived. yes, i think what the chancellor was i terms of how it's perceived. yes, i . think what the chancellor was doing was more about fears he might not get his avowed through the house of commons which would be another embarrassing blow to the new administration. it's clearly significantly weaker than it was a couple of weeks ago but like you say we are still expecting a whole host of tax cuts and other measures that will be extremely costly and are likely to potentially weigh on the market further. right now the bank of england is standing by ready to support the gilt market for the next two weeks but what happens after thatis two weeks but what happens after that is yet to be seen and that will be the real test after the 14th of october and the bank of england said it would no longer step in to support the market. we will see whether the bond market resumes those slides. whether the bond market resumes those slides-— whether the bond market resumes

those slides. today the king and queen consort are attending their first joint public engagement, marking the end of the royal period of mourning for the late queen. the couple are in dunfermline in fife as part of the celebrations to mark its new city status. scotland correspondent alexandra mckenzie joins us now from dunfermline. what have they been up to and what is the reaction been? the what have they been up to and what is the reaction been?— is the reaction been? the king and queen consort— is the reaction been? the king and queen consort are _ is the reaction been? the king and queen consort are in _ is the reaction been? the king and queen consort are in the - is the reaction been? the king and queen consort are in the abbey i is the reaction been? the king and| queen consort are in the abbeyjust behind me. this abbie eaton very historical, we understand about 950 years old so they are getting a tour of the abbey and hearing about the history of the history of dunfermline mean for the crowds are being very patient. some of these people have been waiting for several hours even before it got light so we saw the queen arrive with the king and he spoke to many people on the

way to the city chambers, he shook many people's hands but i think they hope when the royal couple come out they will speak to more members of they will speak to more members of the public. we will have to wait and see. before coming to the abbey they were just a short walk up the hill at the city chambers where they were greeted by the first minister nicola sturgeon and king charles ii! gave a speech. it was a special speech for people in dunfermline because it officially made dunfermline a city and that was something that was bestowed on them as part of the platinum jubilee celebrations so people here have not only been celebrating the special visit today but have also been celebrating dunfermline becoming a city and in that speech king charles said there could be no more fitting way to mark his beloved mother's extraordinary

life of service, so a reference to the late queen elizabeth ii. he said they had gathered today to commemorate the life of her majesty the late queen and he also talked about her deep love of scotland and said that was one of the foundation stones of her life, so a reference in there to the late queen and also her love of scotland, so people here just waiting to see if king charles and the queen consort are going to come out of the abbey, the historical abbey. dunfermline goes back many years in terms of its royal connections. we understand seven, possibly eight scottish kings were buried here and i think we are seeing king charles and camilla coming out of the abbey there. i'm hearing that shearing behind me, people delighted here, we have

skilled children and people of all ages waiting to see that glimpse of the new king on the special visit to dunfermline. i think they are hoping they will speak to them before they get into their car and after their visit to dunfermline they will be heading to edinburgh to hold a reception at the palace of holyroodhouse. so it doesn't look like some of the children here are getting to shake hands, they have been waiting with their flags and their flowers to meet the royal couple. a very important day here for the people of dunfermline, not only to get that city status but also to get this very important first public engagement with the royal couple since that period of royal morning

came to an end. seeing these live pictures, there are lots of people gathered to see the new king and queen and there has obviously been a lot of focus on the royal connection in scotland and the significance of the links going back to the fact that when the queen passed away she was at ballymore and we saw in the days after that what happened as the coffin and the courthouse moved down to edinburgh, which is where they will head to now —— she was at balla moral. and obviously this first world visit by the king and queen consort, dunfermline and scotland for the first visit since the death of her

majesty the queen. they are leaving now. alexandra, thank you very much. we have just seen the card draw away, they will be heading for edinburgh now.— let's catch up with the weather from nick miller. no rain yet in dunfermline but it is falling across southern parts of scotland and northern ireland about this afternoon the rain we are seeing will ease. we will see more through western, northern and central scotland, it's quite windy as well, a little patch of rain from north wales into north—west england especially into the hills and a few showers in south—west england but much of wales and england will stay dry. we start this evening with outbreaks of rain in scotland, over heavier rain pushes across northern ireland into western scotland, a very wet start to tuesday in western

scotland, 30—58 millimetres of rain possible in places, milder night in wales and england although tomorrow we will take rain into northern and central england, across wales, south—east england staying mainly dry. for northern ireland and scotland gradually brightening up although still one or two afternoon showers around.

hello, this is bbc news, withjoanna gosling. the headlines. the chancellor announces he's keeping the top rate of tax for the highest earners. that's despite the fact he pledged to scrap it — in last month's mini—budget. the u—turn comes just 24 hours after the prime minister insisted she'd stick with the controversial tax cut. labour say the damage has already been done. an investigation's under way after at least 125 were killed in a crush at a football match in indonesia — after police officers

fired tear gas at fans on the pitch. no outright winner in the brazilian election — left—wing candidate luiz inacio lula da silva and right—wingerjair bolsonaro will go to a second round run—off. the king and queen consort visit dunfermeline to mark its new status as a city. it's their first public appearance together since the end of the period of royal mourning. let's go back to our main story and that surprise announcement by the chancellor kwasi kwarteng this morning, that the government will not press ahead with his plan to scrap the 45 pence top rate of income tax. this comes a day after the prime minister had said she was "absolutely committed" to the policy. let's bring in tim pitt, former senior adviser to two previous chancellors, philip hammond and sajid javid. welcome, thank you forjoining us. what is your reaction to what has happened? the original decision and

now the u—turn? happened? the original decision and now the u-turn?_ now the u-turn? look, i think it is a welcome — now the u-turn? look, i think it is a welcome move, _ now the u-turn? look, i think it is a welcome move, that _ now the u-turn? look, i think it is a welcome move, that the - now the u-turn? look, i think it is a welcome move, that the u-turn| now the u-turn? look, i think it is. a welcome move, that the u-turn but a welcome move, that the u—turn but i think it is is really important to distinguish between two separate issues, so establishing the 45 pence rate that was a political problem, it was not an economic problem, it was a terrible look to be cutting taxes for the richest during the cost of living, but by focussing on a political problem and that is that they have done today with the u—turn, i the risk is that people miss the bigger issue in terms of the substance of the government's plan, that is they don't have a credible plan to put the public finances on a sustainable footing, thatis finances on a sustainable footing, that is why we saw the market reaction we did and that is the problem the chancellor needs to solve and ultimately scrapping the 45 pence rate hardly makes a dent in that problem. the chancellor is going to have to come up with tens of billions of save, and i don't think it is tenable to get those from spending cuts, alone, so i

think hopefully, this heralds a broader rethink on the overall tax crunch. 50 broader rethink on the overall tax crunch. , ., ., �* broader rethink on the overall tax crunch. i. ., �* ~ broader rethink on the overall tax crunch. ., �* ~ , crunch. so you don't think this will be the last— crunch. so you don't think this will be the last of— crunch. so you don't think this will be the last of the _ crunch. so you don't think this will be the last of the u-turns? - be the last of the u—turns? ultimately, the chancellor needs to find about £40 billion of save, is what the resolution foundation thinks he needs to do, to get falling over the medium term which is what he said he wants to do. those numbers are in flux and they may change but if it is that type of number that the sort of consolidation george osborne announced in 2010. if he wants to do that with spending cuts solely, he has a difficult set of choices so he could cut the capital budget, on africa, that is only 100 billion overall that sends a negative message. you could cut working age welfare, maybe that is what they are going to do, but that would be a pretty extraordinary thing do during a massive cost of living crisis and that leaves you with public services

whose budgets are under huge pressure from inflation, he will have to find savings on the spending side but i don't think you can find 40 billion worth of savings, and i don't think you will get the tory party to sign up to george osborne era spending cut, that will lead to a big rethink on the tax side. and as you have indicated there, what you are talking about is spending cuts at a time of very high inflation and the ifs is saying just to stand still, in terms of what was agreed previously, in spending for public services going forward, there needs to be an increase to reflect inflation and without that there is already a real terms, going to be a real terms cut of £1 billion in spending power in each of the next two years for public services. 50 t two years for public services. so i think there _ two years for public services. so i think there is _ two years for public services. so i think there is not _ two years for public services. 5r i think there is not going to be a real terms cut over the spending review period, the spending totals

last year were pretty generous by historic standards, inflation is eating into those but we are not talking about real terms cuts over the course of this parliament, but yes it is right that in order to make those spending reviews as generous as they were in real terms it would be topping up. is that realistic now given the scale of the fiscal hold the chancellor is facing, now, idon't fiscal hold the chancellor is facing, now, i don't think it is, but, however i do think you can't, you know, say ok we have public services under huge pressure, because of inflation we will make more cuts to that, than they are already having, so as i say that means you will have to look again at the scale of the tax cuts that the chancellor announced last friday. where is the chancellor's and the prime minister's credibility now, i mean you are talking about your view that effectively what they are talking about doing is unsustainable

in? , ., ., 4' 4' talking about doing is unsustainable in? , «g, ., _ in? yes, look, i think obviously the chancellor's _ in? yes, look, i think obviously the chancellor's credibility _ in? yes, look, i think obviously the chancellor's credibility has - in? yes, look, i think obviously the chancellor's credibility has taken i in? yes, look, i think obviously the chancellor's credibility has taken a | chancellor's credibility has taken a hit. i don't think that he can't turn that round but i think he needs to stand up there, today, and show the markets and show the conservative party that he is very serious about fixing the public finance, and that having a credible fiscal strategy needs to be a central plank of his economic strategy and notjust central plank of his economic strategy and not just some after thought. so i think he has taken a hit, i don't think it is completely beyond salvage but i think that means a substantive change of approach, i don't think this —— i think will is an issue of substance and that is what the chancellor needs to show today.— and that is what the chancellor needs to show today. thank you very much. needs to show today. thank you very much- tim — needs to show today. thank you very much- tim pi — needs to show today. thank you very much. tim pi the _ needs to show today. thank you very much. tim pi the t, _ much. tim pi the t, -- pitt. brazil's presidential election is heading for a second—round run—off after no candidate won 50% of the vote. the socialist former president luiz inacio lula da silva, has 48%,

the right—wing incumbent jair bolsonaro won 44% of the vote. lula was tipped to win this first round outright, and when he didn't, he acknowledged he and his supporters have a lot of work to do over the next few weeks until the run—off at the end of october. our south america correspondent katy watson reports from sao paulo. cheering. there were cheers for lula as well as tears that this wasn't the outright victory that his supporters had hoped for. polls had predicted a 14 percentage point gap between him and bolsonaro, but they'd vastly underestimated the support for the right wing leader. after the results, lula said there would be no let up in campaigning. translation: i've never won an election in the first round. | it's like destiny wants me to work a bit more. we are going to win the election again. it's just a question of time. meanwhile, bolsonaro

had this to say. translation: i know there's a desire to change from people, _ but there are certain changes that will end up worse, and we tried to show that during the campaign, but clearly that it didn't get through to the most important part of society. these elections were seen as the most important since brazil returned to democracy in the 1980s. 11 candidates were running, but only two were realistic options. the leftist former leader with a legacy of corruption, or a far right president criticised for his democratic record. the queues on sunday showed people cared about the outcome. this weekend, bolsonaro fans paraded their candidate ahead of what they saw as a guaranteed win. they don't believe the polls. they wanted a first round victory too, and they won't give up their fight. why not believe in democracy? it's time to change. that's change. we like change peacefully. "there is going to be

beautiful blood spilt in this city," this man tells me. "i'm prepared to kill all the socialists and communists in the world." after sunday's results, lula fans remained upbeat. i'm not disappointed, actually, because i already expected that we wouldn't win at the first turn. but at least we are ahead in the overall results. bolsonaro said that polls are a lie. do you think that he's got a point? i think he will... i think he will be a bad loser. so what do you make of the result? we were expecting to make it on the first turn, but we are very happy that it's a win, and we are really, really happy, and the second turn is going to be lula. and we can't stand bolsonaro any more. i'm an lgbt person, and we want our rights, and we want our people to have a voice in this country.

there is an atmosphere much more of relief than a victory parade. the race to the presidency is far from over. the next few weeks will see intense campaigning, and it's about to become much more personal. two political foes now going head—to—head to lead latin america's biggest nation. there is concern this race could also get violent. katy watson, bbc news, in sao paulo. 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 known as �*the disappeared'. investigators have recovered the remains of 13 people, but four remain missing. with rising energy prices you might be wondering what you can do to tackle bills this winter. one family has agreed to take part in an experiment and go on an "energy diet" to see if they can save money. 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 and 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! 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 your 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 them when they're full. and the powders are so good now, your washing machine can run at 30, not 40. 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? 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, yeah, 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

gets a bit colder! let us get more reaction to the chancellor's u—turn with alison thewlis. thewlis. thank you for joining us. what is your reaction tt joining us. what is your reaction tt is extraordinary, the prime minister going out doing all the media rounds yesterday, speaking to all the press, talking up this 45 pence tax cut, and then you have the chancellor doing a screeching u—turn this morning and cancelling that, it is quite extraordinary, and goes to the heart of chaos of this government. they don't believe in anything and you can't trust a word they say one day to the next. tt anything and you can't trust a word they say one day to the next. it had o-ened they say one day to the next. it had opened op. — they say one day to the next. it had opened up, potentially _ they say one day to the next. it had opened up, potentially a _ they say one day to the next. it had opened up, potentially a big - they say one day to the next. it had opened up, potentially a big gap between the pop rate of income tax in england and scotland, with the top rate at 46% in scotland and it was going to be 40% in england so it

changes a potential dynamic there. what it does do is expose the conservative msps in scotland who were calling for us to follow the uk government, falling over themselves to say we should be doing what the uk government are doing, where are they today? we have said it is right those who can afford to pay more tax do so, that is the fairness within that system, that if you can afford to pay that bit more you should, we should they the tax that is due and thatis should they the tax that is due and that is right and appropriate to do so. ,., ., ., . so. the government in announcing the 45 ence so. the government in announcing the 45 pence also — so. the government in announcing the 45 pence also obviously _ so. the government in announcing the 45 pence also obviously announced i 45 pence also obviously announced that cut new the base rate, basic rate of income tax from 20 pence to 19 pence, and was making the point in that, that everybody benefits from that, and that obviously remains. tt from that, and that obviously remains. ., , , , remains. it does, yes, with the bands of income _

remains. it does, yes, with the bands of income tax _ remains. it does, yes, with the bands of income tax we - remains. it does, yes, with the bands of income tax we control remains. it does, yes, with the i bands of income tax we control in scotland we do already have an existing 19 pence rate, so it is good to have that confirmed. that will stay in place.— will stay in place. would you go lower? you _ will stay in place. would you go lower? you used _ will stay in place. would you go lower? you used your - will stay in place. would you go | lower? you used your discretion will stay in place. would you go i lower? you used your discretion to go a penny lower at that point. t go a penny lower at that point. i think it is store my colleagues go a penny lower at that point. t think it is store my colleagues in the scottish government to look at that, in the whole, in the whole round of things that need to be paid paid for and balanced within that budget, what we are worried about is the significant cuts announced by the significant cuts announced by the chance to the public sector, we are talking about £18 billion of public sector austerity cuts on top of 12 years of cuts can, in a sector thatis of 12 years of cuts can, in a sector that is strugglingle that will mean cuts to the scottish government budget, cuts in services we are able to provide, cuts to the pay of workers across the uk, if these austerity cuts go ahead. that is something the chancellor should be challenged on today, because the

u—turn will £2 billion, £18 u—turn will cost £2 billion, £18 billion worth must be challenged. when you talk about the 18 billion of public sector cuts you are referring to what the institute for fiscal studies has been saying about the impact of inflation of what was already an increase in funding for the public sector but it won't have the public sector but it won't have the same impact because when it was announced, the inflation rate was predicted to be 4%, notjust under 10%. predicted to be 4%, not 'ust under 10%. , ., ., , ., ., , 10%. yes, and into resignation is s - irallin . 10%. yes, and into resignation is spiralling out _ 10%. yes, and into resignation is spiralling out of _ 10%. yes, and into resignation is spiralling out of control- 10%. yes, and into resignation is spiralling out of control under i 10%. yes, and into resignation is| spiralling out of control under this government with the measures they have brought forward and they need to explain how they expect the public sector to meet these challenges and bring more budget forward. these are choices the uk government is making, keep the rate of corporation tax low, they had originally planned will cost 17 billion. that could be going into the public sector that is going a as tax cut to the biggest businesses

making the biggest prophet, that is a choice they are making which is not acceptable. 50 a choice they are making which is not acceptable.— a choice they are making which is not acceptable. so the government strate: is not acceptable. so the government strategy is to _ not acceptable. so the government strategy is to make _ not acceptable. so the government strategy is to make these - not acceptable. so the government strategy is to make these cuts i not acceptable. so the government strategy is to make these cuts in i strategy is to make these cuts in order to grow the economy, which has seep slow growth, and the idea obviously is to, to use their words, to grow the pie, so there is more money for public services are r and anything else obviously that needs it. do you completely disagree with the strategy of trying to grow the economy? t the strategy of trying to grow the econom ? ., �* ~' the strategy of trying to grow the econom ? ., �* ~ ., economy? i don't think i would disute economy? i don't think i would dispute you — economy? i don't think i would dispute you know, _ economy? i don't think i would dispute you know, the - economy? i don't think i would | dispute you know, the pressure economy? i don't think i would i dispute you know, the pressure to grow the economy, i would dispute that any of the measures they have put forward are going to do that. so how would you do that? so - put forward are going to do that. so how would you do that? so i - put forward are going to do that. so how would you do that? so i think i how would you do that? so i think what is important _ how would you do that? so i think what is important actually - how would you do that? so i think what is important actually is i how would you do that? so i think what is important actually is to i what is important actually is to look at the broader infrastructure, thatrd braer investment in public service because we are talking about the public sector and investment, they are talking about investment in education, you will grow the economy, you will get people into better qualified, higher paid jobs for example. you could look at the

immigration system where the tories policy is cutting the number of people coming into the country where we have huge vacancies in a number of sectors but it overrides the important contribution people who come to work in in country make. there is a number of points where the tories are saying no, we can't do this but those hamper and hinder growth. brexit as well, a huge, huge drag on growth in this country and sectors where there could be high technology, higher growth. we have a scientific sector which involves lots of european project which has been hinder because of brexit, lack of access to horizon project, hindered because people in europe are going, the uk is is a basket case and we are not going to invest there. all of these are barriers to growth, all of these are choices

that the government has made which are holding scotland back, we wish we had control over those decisions so we could grow scotland in a sustainable and fair way like we see from our nordic neighbours. thtiiisah from our nordic neighbours. alison thewlis, thank— from our nordic neighbours. alison thewlis, thank you. _ imagine doodles covering every inch of your home — this is the reality for mr doodle, who, as his name suggests. he's covered everything — from his bedding to his microwave — with doodle art. it's a labour of love that's taken two years, 400 cans of spray paint and more than 2—thousand pen nibs. tim muffett reports. 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. 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. 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, it's 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 so you're going to wake up every morning and see this? yeah! yeah. right. does your wife know that? she's not totally aware of that yet. and some people have spoken about

you in the same breath as banksy. what's that like? in a way, because i don't want my work to have it's meant to just be joyous, fun, happy, non—political doodles. a home like no other. now it's time for a look at the weather with nick miller. hello. we are all going to see rain at some stage, windy at times too, particularly on wednesday. now north—west south—east split this afternoon, parts of northern ireland and western scotland have been seeing rein, whereas for much of england and wales it is dry, a lot of cloud, hazy brightness especially to the east and south—east closer to this street of high pressure. closer to low pressure northern ireland and scotland, here we have cloud. we are seeing rain in northern ireland,

still a few spots of light rain from the cloud. turning wetter through western scotland, some push into central scotland, accompanied by strong winds so the western isles could see gusts approaching, 60mph. whereas much of england and wales it will continue to be dry, perhaps into the south—west after what was a fairly chilly start to day, a mild afternoon. so into tonight we have started the night with outbreaks of rain. we will sheave i have rain pushing across into western scotland. a wet start to tuesday. could amass round o—50 million mitres of rain. through through england and wales in what is a miler night. tomorrow the rain on the move southwards, to clearing scotland and northern ireland, into northern, western and central areas of england, across wales too, east anglia in the south—east likely to stay largely dry, a bit of hazy brightness on a mild day. scotland and northern ireland will feel fresher behind the rain. sunny

spells an a few blustery showers, particularly in north—west scotland. more wet and windy weather to come. still some uncertainty about the detail, looks as if on wednesday it will be a wet start through northern and western area, a band of squally rain moves, spool lowed by sunny spells an blustery shower, focus on wind on wednesday, these are average speeds but gusts could be 60 for—70mph in northern area, less than that but there is potential for disruptive winds on wednesday so we will have to keep you updated about that, once that system is out the way, then for thursday, and for friday still windy out there, there will be some dry e brighter moments, there be a few blues throwers out there.

today at one: a government u—turn on its tax cut for higher earners. just ten days after he unveiled the policy, the chancellor backtracks after growing opposition from fellow tory mps — he says he feels humility and contrition. we felt that the 45p issue, the 45p 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. dropping the 45p tax cut comes only a day after the prime minister said she was absolutely committed to keeping it — we'll have the latest from the conservative party conference and getting the reaction of voters. also this lunchtime: a man appears in court in liverpool charged with the murder of nine—year—old

olivia pratt—korbel, who was shot dead in her home.
