good evening and welcome to bbc news. "it's been a tough day" — that's how the chancellor began his speech to the party faithful at the conservative party conference this afternoon. it follows a dramatic u—turn this morning when the government suddenly dropped its plan to scrap the 45p top rate of income tax. only yesterday, the prime minister had insisted the tax cut would stay — except in scotland. but now kwasi kwarteng says criticism of the measure had become a "huge distraction" that had "drowned out" other measures announced in the government's so—called mini budgetjust 10 days ago. his change of heart followed mounting opposition among tory mps to the tax cut. our political editor, chris mason, reports. first thing this morning, things are moving. and fast.

the planned tax cut for the highest paid is being junked. the government has blinked. it was an ambitious plan, and we talked to lots of people up and down the country. i saw the reaction. we considered what to do with it, and i felt and the prime minister felt that this was just a distraction on what is a very strong package. translation, the idea tanked so have conservative poll ratings and there was little chance mps would vote for it, anyway, so it is being ditched, as the chancellor's next interview beckoned. do you owe an apology? actually having the humility to say look, we got this wrong and we won't proceed with the abolition of the rate. do you owe people an apology? we are not going to proceed with the abolition of the rate. we have listened to people, and yes, there is humility and contrition in that. contrast what he called humility today with the pride of the original announcement, just a week last friday.

but i am not going to cut the additional rate of tax today, mr speaker. i am going to abolish it all together. from april 23rd, we will have a single higher rate of income tax of a0%. in contrast, the chancellor this morning, with the prime minister yesterday. are you absolutely committed to abolishing the 45 pence tax rate for the wealthiest people in the country? yes. little wonder after the u—turn some ministers discovered the art of quick walking when in the company of cameras. you are going to bump into walls, you are going to bump into a column. although others would talk. sometimes you have to face political reality snf listen and that is what they have done. the majority of what was announced, so the cut in national insurance, - the cut in corporation tax. is going ahead, and that is fundamentally important. to get to economic growth. this was the flotsam and jetsam of the announcement. _ thank you. and as for what labour make of it. the mini budget showed what their instincts were,

it was to cut taxes for the wealthiest in society, paid for by borrowing, which in the end, current and future taxpayers will have to pay for. the prime minister and chancellor have binned one bit of plans that improved impossible to sell. there is a lot else that may not prove popular either. the prospect of spending cuts, benefits cuts and spiralling interest rates which critics will blame on them. and then there are those within the conservative party who are sceptical of the government, who will now ask on what else might they budge? the chancellor of the exchequer. enter at less than a gallop kwasi kwarteng, for his hastily rewritten speech, greeted by polite applause. thank you, conference. what a day. it has been tough, but we need to focus on thejob in hand. the chancellor wearing the demeanour of a man winded by events, leaning on gallows humour.

if i can be frank, i know the plan put forward ten days ago has caused a little turbulence. i get it. we are listening. and have listened. and now, i want to focus on delivering the major parts of our growth package. there was, though, a defiance from kwasi kwarteng, a determination not to be derailed from his main mission. we couldn't simply do nothing. we can't sit idly by. what britain needs more than ever is economic growth. and a government wholly committed to economic growth. with grit, with drive and with determination we can meet the challenges of this new era. thank you. applause.

thumbs up from a colleague, smiles of reeif. a slow walk after a long day, which will leave an indelible mark on this government. which will leave an indelible chris mason, bbc news, in birmingham. chris mason reporting on government abandoning plans for cutting tax on the highest earners. we getting news of another change of heart by the government. despite insisting on the last few days that all the figures on how it sums add up will be made public on the end of november we understand from the bbc�*s economic editor that the government is now to put forward its long—awaited debt planned for late november. you'll remember that the treasury select committee, many in the financial markets have advised the government not to allow a hiatus of several weeks market speculations over how its numbers will add up. chancellor told the conservative conference at the figures would be

provided shortly rather than november the 23rd, which is when we had been expecting for that wild that date is to be confirmed it could come the bbc�*s economic adviser estate could occur this month. after that the office for budget responsibility told the treasury it could complete its deliberations any faster time frames in other words, it doesn't need to wait until the end of november, it can bring forward its deliberations more quickly. the office for budget responsibility will cost all the policies announced by the chancellor and provide new numbers for borrowing. the budget watchdog known as the opr will also castjudgment on the governments claimed that its raft of reform policies will boost growth in the economy which you will remember is the justification for all the financial plans the government has announced in the last ten days or so. the numbers will set

the parameters for some very critical decisions, not least of which the extent of spending cuts that will be required to meet the chancellors fiscal targets for that because there are £15 billion worth of cuts which are unaccounted for, tax cuts unaccounted for. suggesting this is the latest sign that number 11 downing st is willing to do what it takes to regain confidence that has been lost since that many budget ten days ago, following the acknowledgement of problems with the many budget and of course the u—turn that we have been discussing today of the scrapping of the 45p rate. the decision revealed by the office for budget responsibility analysis will lead to a different set of tough decisions which is basically how you make the numbers add up. just to reiterate that we understand that the government is to pull

forward its long—awaited debt plan from late novemberfor that although we don't have a specific date to give you at the moment it could certainly occur this month. we will bring you more on that as we get it. and we'll find out how this story and others are covered in tomorrow's front pages at 10:30 and 11:30 this evening in the papers. our guestsjoining me tonight are dame ros altmann, who's a former pensions minister, and the features writer for the independent, james rampton. the uk is facing "a significant risk" of gas shortages this winter, according to the industry regulator, which could have an impact on electricity supplies. ofgem says due to russia's war with ukraine, there is a possibility the uk could enter a "gas supply emergency". this would lead to supplies being cut to power stations which use gas to generate the country's electricity. our business correspondent,

caroline davies, is here. we will not hear from caroline. let's get more now from caspian conran — he's an energy market economist at baringa, which is a consulting firm. as good if not better than caroline davis. thank you so much for being here with us. how surprised are you that the regulator offjim has said we face a significant cash shortage and how worried should we be. flat and how worried should we be. not surrised and how worried should we be. iirrt surprised with what we know that the future market participants have been pricing in these risks over the last few months. it's entirely prudent for the regulator and for governments across europe to be putting in plans, steps, mitigation measures where necessary to ensure we can continue to operate whatever the eventuality regarding russian gas flows without not overly

that this government is taking more of a hands off approach and thinking people should do it themselves. i believe part of that is driven by the fact that uk is less exposed to russian gas. it's only three or 4% of our energy gas supply at max. relative to german supplies were it's about 50%. in some respects that reflects accurately the fact that reflects accurately the fact that we're less exposed to the supplied risks that russian curtailment represents. clearly there are downside risk associated with our exposure to global liquefied national gas for that would benefit because actually energy markets have been able to supply the uk large inflows of gas from other markets. if that was to start may be because there is competition with asia—pacific demand in light of a cold winter we could see some distressing global gas markets. actually, that is not our

base case and that doesn't remain our reference case for this winter. you say the uk is less dependent on the import of gas from russia, which perhaps leaves us in a better state than our european neighbors. isn't the crux of the problem that the uk it made have enough gas but it doesn't actually have enough basis to story? doesn't actually have enough basis to sto ? ,, ., , ., doesn't actually have enough basis tosto 7. ., to story? sure, that is a problem. clearly the _ to story? sure, that is a problem. clearly the lack _ to story? sure, that is a problem. clearly the lack of _ to story? sure, that is a problem. clearly the lack of long _ to story? sure, that is a problem. clearly the lack of long duration i clearly the lack of long duration storage in the uk it makes us particularly vulnerable in some scenarios where continental markets are frozen and we're unable to access gas from eu long—duration storage for the generally the dynamic has been that the uk imports or exports gas into ee use storage during the summer, which we have been doing this year and then we can access that gas in the winter months when we needed. there is a very extreme scenario where potentially shortages on the continent means there are knock on effects of the

uk. we're unable to access that long—duration sword. in that scenario yes, they could be some demand deficiencies. we think that's unlikely ultimately this winter. have you put your heating on yet? not yet but potentially imminently. many thanks for your time. more breaking news now for that we're hearing a woman has been killed in a dog attack. i know this news is onlyjust coming to us. what are you able to tell us? i've just come through merseyside police and they say a 60—year—old woman has died after being attacked by dogs inside her home in the kirksville area of liverpool. the ambulance service reported that a woman was being attacked by dogs just before at half past four this afternoon. they say she was pronounced dead at the scene. detective inspector has said we

of parliament has unanimously ratified a bill today, annexing these four regions of ukraine. so what is life like for the millions of people now living in territory occupied by russia? our correspondent paul adams reports from southern ukraine. ukrainian forces on the move again, this time taking back villages in the south. progress has been slow here since the summer, but this all seems to happen quickly, again taking russia by surprise. for ukraine's president, volodymyr zelensky, it was more good news to report in his nightly address. he thanked the units involved. and that's not all. far to the east, scene of september's lightning counteroffensive, ukrainian troops

are still pushing forward, now threatening to enter territory annexed by russia on friday. russia now has major headaches on two fronts at the same time, just when it's trying to conscript, train and equip badly—needed extra troops. vladimir putin may have celebrated annexing chunks of ukraine, but his problems just keep multiplying. is that you? but for civilians trapped inside russian—controlled territory, life is getting harder. we reach a man in kherson who doesn't want to be identified. he says the big fear is conscription. well, the conscription is just a matter of time. we don't know which people around kherson are being conscripted by the dozens, and it makes us all afraid, of course. russia's annexation is also making it much harder for people to leave. here at the reception centre in zaporizhzhia, officials are used to seeing 1000 people a day freeing occupied areas. today it's practically deserted. 19—year—old maksym finally made it after four days

lessening of the intensity of competition which has been intense over many years the other hand you have a reduction in across the industry. instead of having four different networks you know of three. those huge cost savings from saving an entire nation network really counteract the potential increase in prices from any reduction in competitive intensity. our analysis has shown there really isn't any change in pricing from three to four players if anything our analysis shows a to a decrease interesting. i’ll our analysis shows a to a decrease interesting-_ interesting. i'll likely do you think the — interesting. i'll likely do you think the steelers _ interesting. i'll likely do you think the steelers is - interesting. i'll likely do you think the steelers is to - interesting. i'll likely do you think the steelers is to go . interesting. i'll likely do you - think the steelers is to go ahead? is a major?. i think that the companies themselves are treading quite carefully on that. it will be decided by the cma. who are they? the competition market authority will decide on the half will be

advised by the telecoms regulator. there is a big question on the cma is the moment because we don't have a ceo for that we've been without one frate while now. there's a question as to whether there might be a bit of change of tact which has been quite anti—merger from many parties for some time. in terms of ofcom, there really will have a lot of sway in this. they have softened their stance a little bit, seeing their stance a little bit, seeing the struggles of the industry over the struggles of the industry over the past couple of decades. the past 12 years, industry revenues are down by 10% and investment is up enormously because traffic volumes are up enormously as we all know for the above 1000% of the 12 year period. the operators are really being squeezed in the financials of three in particular are looking somewhat on viable. and ofcom have

said they are no longer completely wedded to the idea of having four players. proposals for mergers would be on their own merits at the time a little bit of softening of stairs but not really saying that they really think that three is a better number just yet. really think that three is a better numberjust yet.— really think that three is a better numberjust yet. number 'ust yet. let's dive deeper into numberjust yet. let's dive deeper into that. numberjust yet. let's dive deeper into that- as _ numberjust yet. let's dive deeper into that. as you _ numberjust yet. let's dive deeper into that. as you say, _ numberjust yet. let's dive deeper into that. as you say, in _ numberjust yet. let's dive deeper into that. as you say, in the - numberjust yet. let's dive deeper into that. as you say, in the past i into that. as you say, in the past regulators have opposed mergers that would reduce the number of networks in the uk. what has changed both on the competition markets authority usage, you suggested a tap change and why may they have changed their stance on. , . ., stance on. then? the structure of the industry _ stance on. then? the structure of the industry is _ stance on. then? the structure of the industry is really _ stance on. then? the structure of the industry is really changing, i stance on. then? the structure of| the industry is really changing, the financial is changing. the revenues have come down year after year. when you look at it in real terms, revenues are down 30% of the past 12 years. meantime the operators have

to go up £1600 on the 1st of october. that still left me reeling as many of the public. we need to move forward. just as many of the public. we need to move forward.— as many of the public. we need to move forward. just a final question, i wonder move forward. just a final question, i wonder how _ move forward. just a final question, i wonder how often _ move forward. just a final question, i wonder how often you _ move forward. just a final question, i wonder how often you talk- move forward. just a final question, i wonder how often you talk to - i wonder how often you talk to non—conservative voters, and if and when you do, what they say to you about how they think the country is being governed. i about how they think the country is being governed-— being governed. i talked to many --eole. being governed. i talked to many peeple- l'm _ being governed. i talked to many peeple- l'mjust _ being governed. i talked to many peeple- l'm just a _ being governed. i talked to many people. i'mjust a normal- being governed. i talked to many| people. i'mjust a normal person. being governed. i talked to many i people. i'mjust a normal person. i people. i'm just a normal person. i live a normal life outside politics. i have members of my own family that aren't conservatives. you get a broad range. the public at the moment are feeling a little bit confused. whether theyjust really don't have any political bone in their body, it's challenging for everybody. what they want is certainty and confidence to take the country forward to economic prosperity. i'll be doing all i can.

at the end of the day, i believe a conservative government is the best government for this country.- government for this country. wayne fiuaerald, government for this country. wayne fitzgerald, really _ government for this country. wayne fitzgerald, really good _ government for this country. wayne fitzgerald, really good to _ government for this country. wayne fitzgerald, really good to have - government for this country. wayne fitzgerald, really good to have you | fitzgerald, really good to have you with us. thanks so much. now, the latest on the presidential election in brazil, which is going into a second round after no candidate won 50% of the votes in the first round. the current president, far—rightjair bolsonaro, received more votes than expected, gaining 43% of the vote. but he still finished behind his socialist challenger, luiz inacio lula da silva, with 48%. the two candidates will now face a run—off, with voters having four weeks to decide which of the two should lead the country. katy watson reports. cheering. there were cheers for lula as well as tears. but this wasn't the outright victory that his supporters had hoped for.

polls had predicted a 1k percentage point gap between him and bolsonaro. but they 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 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. a 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. two political foes now going head to head to lead latin america's biggest nation. there's concern this race could also get violent. katy watson, bbc news, in sao paolo. well, we can speak now to ali rocha, who's a lula supporter living in london. very good to have you with us. how confident are you that your man will win and the second round? weill. confident are you that your man will win and the second round? well, we have to be confident. _ win and the second round? well, we have to be confident. there's - win and the second round? well, we have to be confident. there's a - win and the second round? well, we have to be confident. there's a lot i have to be confident. there's a lot of work to do. especially convincing the people who don't vote for lula on the first round. not the fanatical 's, but the ones who voted for the other candidates. we do believe it is possible, yes. nonetheless, a lot of work to do because lula was predicted to win in the first round, so why do you think

president bolsonaro did as well as he did? , ., ., ., �* he did? first of all, lula wasn't predicted _ he did? first of all, lula wasn't predicted to — he did? first of all, lula wasn't predicted to win, _ he did? first of all, lula wasn't predicted to win, so _ he did? first of all, lula wasn't predicted to win, so there - he did? first of all, lula wasn't predicted to win, so there was| he did? first of all, lula wasn't| predicted to win, so there was a chance, but it was not margin of error. so, the polls showed the latest, that he had a chance of winning, but there was always... the results on lula's 's side were not correct, they were almost a0%. margin of errors at 3% more or less. the polls are... the surprise was the number of votes that bolsonaro had. they were much larger than we were expecting. and that's probably due to all the campaign and the numbers that we don't get, the traditional ways, because the

campaign that's being done on social media channels, that we are not being measured by these polls. so, i think that was one of the great surprises, the reason for this number higher than we expected. the other i believe might have to do with... he and the last minute started supporting more or less bolsonaro, showing preference to bolsonaro, showing preference to bolsonaro instead of lula. some voters might have migrated to bolsonaro on the first round. there have been fears _ bolsonaro on the first round. there have been fears that _ bolsonaro on the first round. there have been fears that if _ bolsonaro on the first round. there have been fears that if bolsonaro had lost in the first round, that he wouldn't accept the result. how difficult is it going to be in the next four weeks, do you think? the second round is held peacefully and legally? second round is held peacefully and leaall ? ~ ~ 3 second round is held peacefully and leaall ?~ ~ 3 ., legally? well, i think there's no guarantee- _

believe that he was going to win in the first round, so... just believe that he was going to win in the first round, so...— the first round, so... just briefly, we don't have — the first round, so... just briefly, we don't have in _ the first round, so... just briefly, we don't have in a _ the first round, so... just briefly, we don't have in a enormous - the first round, so... just briefly, - we don't have in a enormous amount of time, but i wonder if you could give viewers a sense of what are the big issues that divide the candidates? what is the choice that voters are faced with?— voters are faced with? basically, the main issue _ voters are faced with? basically, the main issue in _ voters are faced with? basically, the main issue in brazil- voters are faced with? basically, the main issue in brazil is- the main issue in brazil is corruption. bolsonaro supporters believe that lula will install a communist dictatorship. they really believe this. but they defend very conservative values, they're against anything that's different from what they believe in. they do not support... everything we've had

during the pt years, we also got my bolsonaro took us back to a time before that. the situation in brazil now is similar to the times of high inflation, unemployment, poverty, hunger, that we had during the final years of the dictatorship. he always promised he wanted to take brazil back to that time, and he succeeded in that. �* �* , back to that time, and he succeeded inthat. �* �* , , back to that time, and he succeeded inthat. �* , , in that. ali, i'm very sorry, but really good _ in that. ali, i'm very sorry, but really good to _ in that. ali, i'm very sorry, but really good to have _ in that. ali, i'm very sorry, but really good to have your- in that. ali, i'm very sorry, but - really good to have your thoughts. thanks for being with us.— really good to have your thoughts. thanks for being with us. thanks for havin: thanks for being with us. thanks for having me- — the king and queen consort have attended their firstjoint public engagement since the end of the period of royal mourning. the couple visited dunfermline in fife, where king charles gave a speech to mark its new status as scotland's eighth city. our royal correspondent, daniella relph, was there.

bagpipes play dunfermline welcomed a new monarch, and they looked pleased to see him. it was malcolm iii who first created this royal seat of power, almost 1,000 years ago. today, it was charles iii who met the crowds and granted dunfermline city status — awarded to mark his mother's platinum jubilee. it is my hope that this new distinction will not merely burnish the legacy of our past, but will also brighten the prospect of their future. that would, i know, gladden my dear mother's heart, as it certainly gladdens mine. marking the 950th anniversary of dunfermline abbey is relatively safe territory, but in these early days of the king's reign, there has already been a noticeable shift. in line with government guidance,

he will be attending the cop climate in line with government guidance, he will not be attending the cop climate conference in egypt next month. the freedoms of being prince of wales replaced by the constraints of being king. in edinburgh, the focus moved to the palace of holyroodhouse, and a reception to celebrate the british south asian community. the event here fits firmly into the king's thinking as he begins his reign. he has already pledged to use his time as monarch to protect the diversity of the uk. in holyrood's great gallery, there was a clamour to get up close to the king and queen consort. some were even able to sneak in the odd selfie. amongst the guests, representatives of the nhs, the armed forces and the arts, including the music producer naughty boy, who started his career with a grant from the prince's trust, now here to meet the king as an ambassador for his community. i'm a muslim pakistani, british—born, you know, and that gives me so much hope

for the future. and british—asian trust as well, with everything they're doing in pakistan, india, bangladesh, you know, issues that are sometimes marginalised in the news, but our king cares about them. balancing those issues he cares about with his responsibilities as head of state, the challenge the king now faces as his schedule of official engagements begins. daniella ralph, bbc news, edinburgh. let's update you with the headlines on bbc news. the chancellor's medium—term plan will be brought forward from november, which could arrive this month. he's also scrap plans to cut the top rate of tax for highest earners. the energy regulator ofgem warms of a significant risk of gas shortages this winter. a woman in her 60s has died after being attacked by a

with cancer surveyed across all age groups with mcmillan say they are generally concerned about how they will pay for their food bills over the next 12 months. another thing is transport, a number of those said they have had to delay or cancel their hospital appointments because they simply can't afford to cover they simply can't afford to cover the cost of a taxi or put fuel in their own cars. so, i spoke to a young man called tyler who lives and west on super mayor, who has testicular cancer. he's having to travel an hour each way by bus instead of a car to bristol because he can't afford the rising cost of petrol. he can't afford the rising cost of etrol. . . , he can't afford the rising cost of etrol. ., ., , , ., , petrol. olivia, has there been any response for _ petrol. olivia, has there been any response for the _ petrol. olivia, has there been any response for the government? i petrol. olivia, has there been any l response for the government? yes, petrol. olivia, has there been any i response for the government? yes, i
