1:36 pm
the champions league trophy is the only bit of silverware which has eluded pep guardiola at city so far, but he's hoping the addition of the man of the moment — erling haaland — could prove to be the missing link. at his age, no—one can compete with him. that speaks for itself. in the locker room, on the pitch, we see things that are not in the stats that make us feel happy to have him here. meanwhile, graham potter is after his first win in the champions league, as chelsea host italian giants ac milan tonight, they drew with red bull salzburg last month, and they lost their opening match in this season's competition at dynamo zagreb under previous boss thomas tuchel. celtic are also in action — they're in germany to face rb leipzig. both teams are still looking for their first win in this year's competition. celtic have never won an away european match in germany in 13 previous attempts.

1:38 pm
to the conservative party conference as prime minister. she told delegates gathered in birmingham that she refused to "consign our great country to decline". she insisted she and the chancellor, kwasi kwarteng, were in "lockstep" as they sought to get the economy moving, and took aim at what she called the "anti—growth coalition". i have three priorities for our economy. growth, growth and growth. applause growth means more money in people's pockets. it means businesses creating newjobs. growth means people can feel secure and they can plan for their future. fundamentally, growth helps people fulfil their hopes and dreams. and thatis fulfil their hopes and dreams. and that is why our dynamic new chancellor and i will be taking
1:39 pm
action in three areas. first of all, we will lower... applause first of all, we will lower our tax burden. 0verthe first of all, we will lower our tax burden. over the summer, we had a robust debate and the conservative party will always be the party of low taxes. cheering and applause cutting taxes is the right thing to do, morally and economically. morally, because the state doesn't spend its own money, it spins the people's money. economically because if people keep more of their own money, they are inspired to do more of what they do best. it is what grows the economy. when the government plays too big a role,
1:40 pm
people feel smaller. higher taxes mean you feel it is less worthwhile working that extra hour, going for a betterjob or setting up your own business. that is why we are cutting taxes. applause we have already cut stamp duty, helping people on the housing ladder, especially first—time buyers. we are reversing the increase in national insurance from next month. and we are keeping corporation tax at i9%, the lowest in the t20. are also helping 3i in the t20. are also helping 31 million working people by cutting the basic rate of income tax. applause we need to be to —— internationally
1:41 pm
competitive with all our tax rates attracting the best talent. cutting taxes helps us face the global economic crisis, putting up a sign that britain is open for business. applause the fact is that the abolition of the a5p tax rate became a distraction from the major parts of our growth plan. that is why we are no longer proceeding with it. i get it. and i have listened. applause secondly, we will keep an iron grip on the nation's finances. i believe in fiscal responsibility. i believe in fiscal responsibility. i believe in getting value for the taxpayer. i believe in sound money and a lean
1:42 pm
estate. i remember my shock opening my first paycheque to see how much money the taxman had taken out. i know this feeling is replicated across the country. applause and that is why we must always be careful with taxpayer's' money. it is why this government will always be fiscally responsible. we are an extraordinary times, it would be wrong not to have proceeded rapidly with our energy and tax plan. i am clear we cannot pave the way to sustainable economic growth without fiscal responsibility. so we will bring down debt as a proportion of our national income. applause
1:43 pm
we will have more from the conference after two o'clock. indonesia's president, joko widodo, has ordered an audit of all of the country's football grounds, following one of the world's deadliest stadium disasters. the indonesian leader made the comments while on a visit to malang, where 131 people were killed in a stampede at the local stadium. valdya badaputri sent this report from the stadium. the president hasjust the president has just left the stadium. he and other officials went inside the stadium area that have been closed almost immediately after the deadly night. on the same day as his visit the indonesian government released a new death toll from 125, 131. a new number includes 35 children aged three to 17. this new number made to the tragic night at the stadium the second deadliest stadium tragedy in the world. the
1:44 pm
president has called for a thorough audit of all stadiums in indonesia. he also gave his thoughts on what happened. he says that the problem was in the locked doors and the sharp stairs, plus the panic of the masses for four however, he said everything would be concluded by a joint independent fact—finding team. before coming here he visited one of the hospitals where injured supporters are still being treated. he has also pledged to compensate the deceased victims are�* families. the latest there on the football stadium disaster. now on bbc news it's time to take a look at some of the stories making the headlines from our newsrooms �*across the uk'. a 1a—year—old boy who was stabbed and killed in gateshead has been named. tomasz 0leszak died in the early
1:45 pm
hours of yesterday after being injured on monday night. more now from our correspondent in gateshead, mark denten. a desperate case. what more are the police saying? bill. a desperate case. what more are the police saying?— police saying? all, the police are still continuing _ police saying? all, the police are still continuing to _ police saying? all, the police are still continuing to search - police saying? all, the police are still continuing to search the - police saying? all, the police are| still continuing to search the area behind me, which is a nature park in gateshead. they tell us that they are investigating and it is very much ongoing, as you said, a few hours ago they named the 1a—year—old who died as tomasz 0leszak. tomasz we are told was a keen sportsman and a member of a local and a fifteens football club and had just played his last match on sunday, just a day before he died. tomasz was attacked and stabbed around eight o'clock on monday night, he was taken to hospital but sadly he died in the early hours of tuesday morning. police at the moment are continuing
1:46 pm
to question two teenagers, the first a 1a—year—old boy who was arrested on suspicion of murder in the second, 13—year—old girl who has detained on suspicion of assisting an offender. both those teenagers at the moment are still in custody. police have thanked people on this housing estate in gateshead for their assistance and information that they provided but they have asked people not to speculate about the death of tomasz because they say what might seem an innocent social media post could actually hamper their investigation. they do tell us that the family are devastated beyond belief.— that the family are devastated beyond belief. that the family are devastated be ond belief. ~ , beyond belief. mark denten with the latest in gateshead. _ as the cost of living continues to rise — it's notjust food and bills that many people are struggling with. the cost of basic hygiene products like soap, toothpaste and sanitary protection is also rising — and one charity has told us that demand for those items is soaring. 0ur reporter jayne mccubbin has the story.
1:47 pm
st cuthbert�*s academy is in the shadow of blackpool's pleasure beach. summer season is over, a hard winter lies ahead. and the job of head teacher sarah smith increasingly feels less like teaching, more like social work. we sometimes have toilet rolls and other hygiene products, nappies are a really sought—after resource. they keep essential items here to help struggling parents. and run a free community washing machine. if electricity is an issue for families, they can use our electricity, our water and the products are here. so it an amazing resource. lindsay, the school safeguarding officer, used to support only a small number of families known to social services. not any more. we've got, you know, working families who are not eligible for free school meals but they cannot afford to pay for the child's school meal. i know for certain there is one family who have in excess
1:48 pm
of £1000 worth of debt. they send their children to school. i can't not feed their children, can i? see you, be good, now. alex's childhood was hard. marred by domestic violence, she'd love much more for her son. i want him to have everything i never had, car, holidays. . but you can't do that. sobbing there is no way i can afford . to heat that flat, not a chance. you must worry, having a little boy. yes, of course, all the time. it's constant, _ constantly on your mind. yeah, yeah. and he's only six. this squeeze is impacting everyone. lisa spent covid—19 being treated for cancer. you fight for your own business, you fight to keep a roof over your head, you fight to put food on the plate, but sometimes, you just seem to fight and for what? when you go into the supermarket,
1:49 pm
how much do you have to play with? probably, i'd say about £40. that is not a lot to feed a family of how many? five. for food and toiletries. for food, yes. and everything. there is a safety net for families here, but those families know that things are likely to get worse before they get better. jayne mccubbin, bbc news. the parents of a newborn baby say a miracle dna test changed their life after it ruled out cancer. 0liver bell from st neots in cambridgeshire was born with a large tumour on his leg. traditional tests indicated he had cancer and had to have chemotherapy. but a new test on the dna of the tumour found it wasn't cancerous at all. it's hoped whole genome sequencing will more accurately diagnose children across the country. nicki fox reports. this is baby 0liver at home without a feeding tube and free from drugs. all thanks to what his parents
1:50 pm
call a wonder test. he was still in his mother's womb when a tumour on his leg was first noticed. when he was born, it was six centimetres wide. you kinda felt numb, you didn't really know what to do and being told that there is potential chemotherapy around the corner was just heartbreaking, honestly, honestly, it really was. you just think about how it's going to affect straightaway all the things that you want to do when he was first born. he'sjust not going to be able to do. and tests would have indicated cancer, so 0liver would have automatically been placed on chemotherapy. but the nhs now offers whole genome sequencing, which tests the children to make sure it's definitely cancer they have got. when it came back, it was like a miracle, really. to come back and actually, oh, everything that you have been told, well, backtrack and actually, he doesn't have to have any of the chemotherapy, the pain, hurt.
1:51 pm
so how did the test work? all tumours have dna and genetic codes in oliver's tumour was compared to the dna in his blood. it showed a mutation that couldn't be spotted on traditional tests. it completely changed his diagnosis. we didn't actually have to do anything. we didn't have to consider a therapy, we didn't have to cut it out, the tumourjust started to shrink on its own. addenbrooke's was one of the first hospitals to offer whole genome sequencing. it is hoped that even more young people with different conditions will be able to be tested at the planned new children's hospital in cambridge. the east is the only region without a dedicated paediatric hospital. if you are going through this with a child with a tumour, please ask for this test, they can offer it in different places as well but it is so important to do it because obviously we don't have to go through any of that heartache and he doesn't have to go through any of the pain. it has changed our lives
1:52 pm
completely. personalised care that is accurate and works. the nhs at its best. nicki fox, bbc look east. now, one must order to bring you before we take a look at the weather. —— one more story. and as the mornings get colder and darker, you might be forgiven for dreaming of retirement — with long lie—ins and plenty of time to pursue your hobbies and spend time with the family. well, that's the theory. but the rising cost of living is causing some retirees to go back to paid work, as patrick 0'hagan reports. i did work and have an occupational pension. sue was a teacher and she has an occupational pension and we have our state pension. now it's getting to the point where it's not really enough to have a comfortable lifestyle on. you've got the council tax, energy, gas and electricity.
1:53 pm
petrol for the car. and food. an it worker by trade and now in his 705, michael retired 12 years ago, and he knows he's better off than most people his age. michael's true love is books, and you'll often find him in schools in reading, reading stories out loud to young children. he thought he'd have enough in his pension to do that for free, but the cost of living has put paid to that. i'd like to be able to do it for nothing, but i can't because the money helps with... not luxury luxuries — we never have a foreign holiday, we don't go out and eat much — but, you know, sometimes you fancy a takeaway! this might seem a good life. freedom, independence. doing what you like, when you like. back in 1961, these pensioners in worthing told the bbc how they were coping with retirement. 0n mondays, wednesdays, fridays and saturdays, i play golf in the morning.
1:54 pm
mm. in the afternoon, we'd take the wife out either for a little trip in the car, or a walk. retirement's no longer like that — so retirement as a time of leisure and enjoyment is not so much a reality. i'd worked until 60 and i wanted to enjoy life with a freedom. how do you feel now? oh, i'm very happy indeed. not at a loose end at all? not at all! what we've seen in the past few years is a change in terms of pension provision and the fact that we are are living longer than we used to live before. so our pots of money don't go as far as it used to, so it means that we have less disposable income to spend on leisure. you're never bored? never bored at all, no. as you can see, i have a large garden here. so much so, in between television in the evenings and friends — which i have a good number of — keep one going to such an extent
1:55 pm
that i haven't even time to read the newspapers. i've got a friend who's now training to be a driver for one of the supermarket partnerships, and to go back and do some, you know, what is going to be, i would have thought, fairly hard, physical work. for michael and his friends, it was never supposed to come to this. they never thought they'd end up stacking shelves and driving delivery vans to see them through. they thought that was something they'd leave to the grandchildren. when you've had a job for a0 years in a company that pays you a pension, you expect that that's it — you're going to be fine. we will talk a lot more about the cost of living after two o'clock and what liz truss had to say about it because we will get reaction to her first speech to the conservative party conference as prime minister. that's coming up from two o'clock. now it's time for a look at the weather.
1:56 pm

north but after 19 celsius in the south ahead of a rain band. into the weekend, this ridge of high pressure moves through bringing a fine day for saturday. staying fine in the southeast on sunday, the next batch of wet and windy weather moves into the north and west. a fine day to come home on a saturday before it starts to turn wetter and windier again in the north and west during sunday.
