by u—turns and internal divisions, the prime minister made no new policy announcements, but promised to help businesses by reducing taxes and cutting regulation. our political editor, chris mason, watched the speech in birmingham. not everyone here has been standing up for the prime minister in the last three days, but they did today. moving on up, liz truss hopes. she began with the themes that shape us. we gather at the vital time for the united kingdom. these are stormy days. we're dealing with a global economic crisis caused by covid and by putin's appalling war in ukraine. a prime minister unknown to many, still introducing herself to the country and explaining what drives her. i remember as a young girl being presented on a plane with a junior air hostess badge.

meanwhile, my brothers were given junior pilot badges. it made me angry and determined. from the personal to the political. and her core objective... and for too long, the political debate has been dominated by the argument about how we distribute a limited economic pie. gets a bigger slice. instead, we need to grow the pie so that everyone gets a bigger slice. that is why i'm determined to take a new approach and break us out of this high tax, low growth cycle. and listen to this — an acknowledgement not everyone will like what she is doing, it'll be bumpy, but worth it. whenever there's change, there is disruption. and not everybody will be in favour of change, but everyone will benefit from the result. but this tax—cutting prime minister had to ditch a tax

cut for the best paid. and there was contrition. the fact is that the abolition of the 45p tax rate became a distraction from the major parts of our growth plan. that is why we're no longer proceeding with it. i get it and i have listened. the prime minister at first appeared nervous, but what happened next appeared to galvanise her. jeers. environmental activists questioned the legitimacy of a prime minister who hasn't won an election. it was a moment that didn't wrong—foot her but helped her define who she's against, with a catchall label she'll hope will stick. i will not allow the anti—growth coalition to hold us back — labour, the lib dems, the snp, the militant unions, the vested interests

dressed up as think tanks, the talking heads, the brexit deniers, extinction rebellion and some of the people we had in the hall earlier. they peddle the same old answers. it's always more taxes and more regulation and more meddling. wrong, wrong, wrong! this is a prime minister plotting a very different course from borisjohnson, but on one issue, there is continuity. we did not stand up to russia early enough. we will make sure this never happens again. we will stand with our ukrainian friends, however long it takes. ukraine can win, ukraine must win, and ukraine will win. just as the protesters united this audience, this did too. but behind the applause, gloom from many about this party's future, its leader,

its direction, and so a concluding plea. we must stay the course. together, we can unleash the full potential of our great country. that is how we will build a new britain for a new era. after days of indiscipline within government and near mutiny beyond it, liz truss and her team are glad this is over. that was the speech of a prime minister trying to hold her party together. have you done enough, prime minister? this has been a conference defined by dysfunction, disagreement, even open civil war. i know that sounds like an exaggeration — it really isn't. in the moments afterwards, though, relief here and warm words. i thought that was great. that's great. that's what we needed, was the vision. she's put the signal up. we want everyone to get involved,

this is the country needs. this is what the country needs. i thought that speech was exactly what we want to present - to the country, clear conservatism. it's been an upbeat conference full of energy. energy? that's what you call it? absolutely. we've got the ideas, we've got the debate here. this is where it's happening. as for the prime minister, she couldn't leave quickly enough. she can run away from this conference but not the immense challenges she confronts. chris mason, bbc news, birmingham. so what did voters make of the prime minister's speech? high peak in derbyshire voted in a conservative mp in 2019, but with a tiny majority. our political correspondent, alex forsyth, has been talking to voters and business owners. after a rocky start, an attempt to get back on track and the view of voters is key. in the peak district, this village wool shop is run by karen. people are starting to buy to make blankets to buy

yarn to make blankets because they are worried about the energy. she says things have picked up since help with energy bills was announced. a conservative voter last time round, she is prepared to see how things unravel for the new prime minister. i think she is trying to kick—start the economy and i think she has got the right idea. i didn't agree with lowering the 45p high rate of income tax. i am glad she has listened to people and changed her mind. but for some, things feel a bit more bleak. the market town of glossop has been home to this butchers for 100 years. john has had to adapt in the current economic climate, even closing his local abattoir, and he is not convinced government rhetoric yet matches reality. what do you think when you hear liz truss talk about growth? growth comes from having a stable environment where it is clear what is happening, we don't have u—turns happening. obviously, we have got the corporation tax allowance, but if you are not making any money,

that is not much use to you, is it? and i don't think the environment is conducive to growth for a small business like us. this constituency is often a symbol of the wider political mood, changing colour with the national picture. it narrowly turned conservative last time. the test will be whether the new prime minister can command similar support. these are stormy days... watching her speech, cathy, who runs glossop business network, and accountant catherine, were sceptical. we have had a cut in tax, which is positive for everyone struggling at the moment, but how that is funded by us as a country, it has a knock—on effect somewhere, it is just where it has a knock—on effect. i am not convinced she has got the right priorities. they are too much into trickle down and i don't think trickle down will work. the people on the lower and probably a lot of people on middle incomes are struggling. and on liz truss herself? i think she needs to start doing her homework and she needs to think before she opens her mouth!

yeah, she's very optimistic about the future and what she can do but i think we need to wait the time and see if what she hopes will happen does actually happen. many will be waiting to see the shape of things to come, which will of course determine how this political landscape looks down the line. alex forsyth, bbc news, high peak. the interest rate on a difficult two year fixed the interest rate on a difficult two yearfixed rate mortgage has passed 6% for the first time since the financial crash in 2008. it will affect first—time buyers and people who want to remortgage their homes. our economics editor, faisal islam, has more. �* , ~ our economics editor, faisal islam, has more. �* , ., has more. after the shock of the financial tablets _ has more. after the shock of the financial tablets we _ has more. after the shock of the financial tablets we saw - has more. after the shock of the financial tablets we saw after - has more. after the shock of the | financial tablets we saw after the mini budget, it exhibited time to filter into corners of the economy, but you can see it most clearly right now in the mortgage market, so let's have a look at a chart. typically these sorts of mortgage rates move with the bank of england

base rate normally. that is the black line there at the bottom. and we actually expect that to go up a little bit more in the future, but it is at 2.25% now. if you look at the average typical two—year mortgage fix, but has gone up much faster, topping 6%, which is the highest we have seen since the financial crisis. now, the government will point out it was already going up actually up until the mini budget, but it is that sharp increase we are seeing that you can say is in part down to turbulence after the mini budget. so thatis turbulence after the mini budget. so that is the short term. the speech was about the long—term. some of these growth plans do take time to come to fruition and as we saw from chris's report, you need both time and capital and that is something liz truss may not have a huge amount of. that was faisal islam. _ have a huge amount of. that was faisal islam. let's _ have a huge amount of. that was faisal islam. let's talk _ have a huge amount of. that was faisal islam. let's talk now - have a huge amount of. that was faisal islam. let's talk now to . have a huge amount of. that was i faisal islam. let's talk now to lucy fisher, who is the chief political

commentator four times fisher, who is the chief political commentatorfour times radio. lovely commentator four times radio. lovely to commentatorfour times radio. lovely to have you with us there, so first off, the prime minister wants to stay the course. did you get the sense that she will be taking the party members on thatjourney? look. party members on that “ourney? look, i think she rose _ party members on that “ourney? look, i think she rose to — party members on that “ourney? look, i think she rose to the — party members on that journey? look, i think she rose to the task— party members on that journey? look, i think she rose to the task today - i think she rose to the task today of delivering the speech well from a low bar. i think that will have inspired some confidence in the party members there. i was also struck that she defined herself in large part quite negatively, by who she was against, rather than the vision that she is four. she talked about an anti—growth coalition, she talked about the enemies of enterprise. that span the labour party, the militant trade unions, commentators like me, brexit deniers, extinction rebellion activists and more. i think it is a slightly depressing tactic, but it has been fairly successful in recent years for politicians to appeal to their supporters and rile up their anger by trying to demonise or

attack groups and that i think is what we saw today. around the growth agenda, she mentioned the word growth 29 times in that speech, almost once a minute, there wasn't a lot of detail. i think the difficulty for her now when she returns to westminster next week is how she pushes some of the more controversial supply—side reforms of the essential, but underpinning that agenda through, particularly around planning and particularly around immigration. 50 planning and particularly around immigration-— planning and particularly around immigration. so do you think she has done enough — immigration. so do you think she has done enough to _ immigration. so do you think she has done enough to quell _ immigration. so do you think she has done enough to quell those - immigration. so do you think she has done enough to quell those voices i immigration. so do you think she has done enough to quell those voices of| done enough to quell those voices of dissent? and has she, if anything, emboldened what you described, well, what we heard as, you know, the militant unions, these think tanks that she derided, the anti—graft coalition, i mean, doesn't thatjust involved in a lot of peopleshe doesn't need that those people that she described as the enemies of enterprise and the she described as the enemies of enterprise an— she described as the enemies of enterprise and the people that she stands against. _ enterprise and the people that she stands against. these _ enterprise and the people that she stands against. these are - enterprise and the people that she stands against. these are groups | stands against. these are groups that are always going to be at

loggerheads with the conservative government. i think what she has done today is stem the rot. you know, yesterday where things were getting worse for her by the hour in birmingham, as new cabinet ministers came out saying controversial things about contentious areas of policy. many of them even overstepping their own briefs to marauder over the portfolio of colleagues. i think it is going to be a really key task in the coming weeks to restore cabinet unity and make sure that sense of collective cabinet responsibility is restored with some discipline. i think on a wider picture, the back benches are going to be really difficult, even more difficult. there is some chatter at one of the many champagne soap parties at the conference last night about whether wendy morton is the right choice as whip. we saw coming into this difficult and feed roll conference on sunday jake difficult and feed roll conference on sundayjake berry, the party chairman, make a threat to backbench rebels if any of them are planning to vote against or abstain on the

finance bill and the controversial policy to abolish the top rate of income tax, that they would lose the party whip. there is also talk now of having a more brutal disciplinary regime to try to restore party discipline among backbenchers, but when jake berry discipline among backbenchers, but whenjake berry came in on that what we saw was people involved and they didn't like that, they were not going to be beaten into submission and i think it actually encouraged more tory mps to stick their head above the parapet to criticise that policy, so let's see what happens in the week ahead in this more brutal disciplinary regime from the whips but if it does come on, it could actually have a backlash against liz truss. . , , ., actually have a backlash against liz truss. _ i. , .,, truss. lucy, you said there she has one truss. lucy, you said there she has gone some — truss. lucy, you said there she has gone some way _ truss. lucy, you said there she has gone some way is _ truss. lucy, you said there she has gone some way is to _ truss. lucy, you said there she has gone some way is to stemming - truss. lucy, you said there she has gone some way is to stemming thej truss. lucy, you said there she has . gone some way is to stemming the rot within the party. what of the poll numbers saying, though, well, the poll numbers have been dire for the conservatives and it has led to a

real sense _ conservatives and it has led to a real sense of _ conservatives and it has led tr? —. real sense of fatalism and defeatism among many mps. i spoke to one red wall minister this week who thought that no matter what liz truss or the government did to try to claw back its reputation, this minister thought that it was game over for them, that they were absolutely sure to lose their seat at the next election and many of those red wool seats were won on wafer thin majority is, so look, there is this sort of sense that it is going to be very difficult now, even if the party climbs in the polls, you know, the yougov poll of the past week, the yougov poll of the past week, the party is 33 points behind labour, the worst polling that the party has had since the early 1990s when the pollster, yougov, was formed. and that is the sort of numbers we are seeing across others. new polls yesterday, one putting the conservatives on 28 points behind labour, another one on 25 points behind labour. this is all landmark, landslide election winning territory for labour, if that holds. it may be

some time before we have the next general election, it may be two years or so, but the strategy of how liz truss clause that back is difficult to see when the economy is going through a period of turmoil, there isn't money to spend on the kind of projects and policies that would be potentially election winning. indeed, quite the opposite. we are all talking and now about the kind of spending cuts that she might be. make, which are not going to be popular with the public. bier? popular with the public. very ruickl , popular with the public. very quickly. as — popular with the public. very quickly. as we _ popular with the public. very quickly, as we are _ popular with the public. very quickly, as we are just - popular with the public. very quickly, as we are just running out of time, through all that chatter you described, do you think her position is safe... it is you described, do you think her position is safe. . ._ position is safe... it is a tricky question _ position is safe... it is a tricky question to — position is safe... it is a tricky question to answer. _ position is safe... it is a tricky question to answer. you - position is safe... it is a trickyl question to answer. you know, position is safe... it is a tricky i question to answer. you know, i position is safe... it is a tricky - question to answer. you know, i sat down to question departments yesterday as she had a clear message to ask the public to give her until 2023 before jutting of her programme was successful. i really don't think she is going to have 15 months to try to turn things around. last night grant shapps potentially shaping up as the key rebels and

critics of her regimes that she had ten days to turn things around, so people are expecting to see progress from her really quickly, but some of the key supply—side reforms in the economy that are going to make the difference on that front are going to make the difference on that front agreed to to take a really long time times radio, thank you very much indeed. conservative councillorjames jamieson is the chairman of the local government association, a cross—party body made up of 339 english, and 22 welsh councils. thank you forjoining us here. looking at those spending cuts, i wonder if you can take us through how it would affect local councils? well, we are very concerned about our budgets as we go into next year. last year we thought we had a good settlement in november, but that was on an expectation of 4% inflation at peak and nobody was aware of a war in ukraine and many of the other

things that have gone on. because of that increase in inflation from 4% to close to 10%, we are seeing a cost rise for us of nelly, well, over 3.4 billion for next year and thatis over 3.4 billion for next year and that isjust simply over 3.4 billion for next year and that is just simply something that we cannot manage by a little bit of trimming or a little bit of efficiency here or there. it is fundamental to our budgets. and local government is quite different to other parts of the public sector. we have a legal obligation to balance our budgets and a huge proportion of what we do our statutory services. we can't turn away children who need support. we can't turn away old people who need support. we have to fix the roads, we have to empty your bins. so we are very much between a rock and a hard place and unless we have the funding that is closer to the rate of inflation, we are going to have to make some really difficult decisions and the public will see

that in terms of poorer services. now, whether that is closure of leisure centres or libraries or fixing the roads less, but actually thatis fixing the roads less, but actually that is only 30% of our cost base. the big cost basis actually vulnerable people, adults and children and the homeless. and we really, really don't want to cut those. but if we don't have the funding and we don't have the capacity, what else can we do? so ou capacity, what else can we do? so you say you have a legal obligation, it is a statutory position. does that mean, then, that it is westminster who will be accountable, will they have to step in?— will they have to step in? well, i read about _ will they have to step in? well, i read about 9096 _ will they have to step in? well, i read about 9096 of _ will they have to step in? well, i read about 9096 of our _ will they have to step in? well, i - read about 9096 of our expenditure... read about 90% of our expenditure... and that is an estimate, is on the services that are statutory. so we have to empty the bin. we have obligations around fixing roads, but most importantly it is our duty is to be vulnerable, to older people who need care and are unable to pay for it themselves, safeguarding of

children. if we don't have the funding of that, then we simply will not be able to meet the standards that are legal obligation demands of us and the same time we have a legal obligation to balance our budget. it really is an extremely difficult position for us. 50 really is an extremely difficult position for us.— really is an extremely difficult position for us. so what is your messa . e position for us. so what is your message to — position for us. so what is your message to the _ position for us. so what is your message to the prime - position for us. so what is your. message to the prime minister? position for us. so what is your- message to the prime minister? well, in very simple — message to the prime minister? well, in very simple terms, _ message to the prime minister? well, in very simple terms, we _ message to the prime minister? well, in very simple terms, we do _ message to the prime minister? -ii in very simple terms, we do need to fund these statutory services and would like to work with government over the longer term to see how we can work better with other parts of the public sector, the health sector, schools, to actually lower the overall cost, but in the short term you just can't do those things that quickly. fik. term you just can't do those things that quickly-— that quickly. 0k. councillorjames jamieson, that quickly. ok. councillorjames jamieson, thank— that quickly. 0k. councillorjames jamieson, thank you _ that quickly. 0k. councillorjames jamieson, thank you very - that quickly. 0k. councillorjames jamieson, thank you very much i jamieson, thank you very much indeed. for more on the well, for more on the consequences of all these financial and economic issues for you and your pocket, dojoin us on friday at 11:30 for a special edition of your questions answered,

group after losing 3—1 in germany to rb leipzig, and face an uphill battle if they're to make the knockout stages. having gone a goal down, celtic did get themselves back into the game just after half—time — capitalising on some sloppy play by the home side, with kyogo furuhashi squaring a pass tojota in the area for the equaliser. but leipzig would go on to win for the first time in the champions league this season, thanks to a brace from andre silva. ange postecoglu's side get a chance to exact revenge next week when they meet again in glasgow. that was one of the early fixtures. these are some of the latest scores and took hurling harling just eight minutes to score for manchester city to give them a goal in their lead against open a can. also in that group russia dortmund are leading. and psg have also taken the lead at benfica. you can't see that on the scoreline yet, but they have just

scored in that game at portugal. there are six games in the championship with a lot of managerial storylines to consider. rotherham havejust appointed a new one, and nine minutes into matt taylor's reign, they took the lead against millwall. slaven bilic is taking charge of his first home game as watford boss. you can't see it on that scoreline yet, but they lead by 1—0. hull and middlesbrough don't have a permanent manager at the moment, while steve bruce is under pressure as his west brom side play at preston. that is actually now 1—1 at preston. saturday's fight between conor benn and chris eubankjunior is in serious doubt after the british boxing board of control refused to sanction it on the grounds of the event not being "in the interests of boxing". it follows benn returning what is being called an "adverse analytical finding for trace amounts of a fertility drug". promoters say he has not been suspended and remains free to fight in london because his b sample has yet to be tested.

but british boxing's governing body issued a statement, which may well force the promoters to find another board to sanction the fight if it's to go ahead. i have not committed any violations. i have not committed any violations. i have not been suspended, so as far as i am concerned the fighter is still going ahead. i have spoken to chris personally and we both want the fight to go ahead. we have both taken medical and legal advice and we want the fight to happen for the fans. you know, i have signed up to every voluntary anti—doping test for all areas under the sun. throughout my whole career i am tested, i have never had any issues before, all my tests had come back negative, even in the lead up to this fight my tests have all come back negative, so my team will find out why there has been an initial adverse finding a test. —— finding in my chest. worcester warriors players and staff are to have their contracts terminated now part of the club has been wound up in the high court. hmrc had been pursuing worcester, who have been suspended

from all competitions since august for unpaid tax of around £6 million. the high court decision means all contracts are terminated and all debts remain unpaid and outstanding. four players who went out on loan to bath on monday and the rest of the squad are now free agents, so can sign for any club. seeing the boys' faces today... it has been super emotional. the last few months have been very tough, i have had a couple of cries in the car on the way home thinking about how i am going to explain this to my partner, who is with my one—year—old son and... it is... it has been a very tough hour, but it has been an even tougherfew months. very tough hour, but it has been an even tougher few months. more very tough hour, but it has been an even tougher few months.- even tougher few months. more on that story on _ even tougher few months. more on that story on the _ even tougher few months. more on that story on the bbc _ even tougher few months. more on that story on the bbc sport - even tougher few months. more on j that story on the bbc sport website as it develops. as indeed do the champions league matches, because chelsea havejust champions league matches, because chelsea have just taken a lead against ac milan with a rather scrambled effort inside the first half there at stamford bridge. head to the bbc sport website and there is also coverage on radio five live

this evening. all you could stay with us here on the bbc news channel! thank you. you are watching bbc news. aid agencies and local officials in somalia are warning of a looming catastrophe, with hundreds of thousands of people in the country threatened by starvation after the worst drought in 40 years. our africa correspondent, andrew harding, travelled by air to baidoa, the only way to enter the city because of the threat from militants, and sent this special report. the parched plains of southern somalia, and the heart of what could soon be declared a famine. we've come to the dusty city of baidoa, in a region plagued for years by conflict and now by the worst drought in four decades. child cries in the main hospital, severely malnourished children in every bed. some fighting for breath. this crisis has been

years in the making, and yet it feels like a distracted world has been caught off guard. we need more supplies. we need more actors on the ground and people moving around to provide support to the population. or localised famine will turn into something much bigger? definitely. on the outskirts of baidoa, hundreds of thousands of people have already gathered in search of food. 50—year—old habiba is building a shelterfor herfamily. "there's nothing left on our farm," she says. "there's no reason to go back there." climate change is to blame for much of this, but there are other factors. as you can't fail to notice, most of the adults here and around these camps are women. and that's because of somalia's conflict, which has ground on for three decades or so in one

form or another. and, indeed, the front lines, such as they are, are about four kilometres away from where we are now. gunfire. this footage shows somali government forces advancing further north, seizing territory from a formidable islamist militant group, al—shabab. but in much of the countryside, communities remain trapped by the conflict, unable to receive aid. this two—year—old girl has made it to safety in baidoa and is finally getting help. but her mother, too afraid to reveal her identity, told us that her relatives at home had just called to say they were now in hiding after more fighting broke out in their village. and so a fragile nation grapples with climate change and drought, against a backdrop of unending conflict. andrew harding, bbc

news, baidoa, somalia. a 14—year—old boy who was stabbed and killed in gateshead has been named by police. tomasz oleszak died in the early hours of tuesday morning after being injured on monday night. a 14—year—old boy arrested on suspicion of murder remains in custody — as does a 13—year—old girl, who is being held on suspicion of assisting an offender. hundreds of new cases of alleged abuse in the church of england have been uncovered by an independent review — mostly involving children or vulnerable adults. the report says nearly 400 cases — all of which involve living members of the clergy, officers or volunteers — need further assessment. leading archbishops have apologised and spoken of their profound shame. it's weather time. it was a very blustery day today. the rain band was followed

by sunshine and heavy showers and the temperatures did drop for a while. it means it's going to be quite a cool night tonight, i think, across the board. stays blustery and we'll have further showers, most of them affecting the north and the west of the country. this is where most of these weather fronts will be passing through, but lots of isobars on the chart, indicating it will stay blustery — especially in the north. so, lengthy, clear spells through central, southern and eastern parts of the country. showers merging together to produce longer spells of rain across scotland and northern ireland at times. and temperatures will be lower, certainly, than last night, typically down to 6—10 degrees. so, it's a cooler start to tomorrow. there will be brightness and sunshine around, but it will be another breezy day, especially in the north. this is where we'll have most of the showers, scotland and northern ireland, northern, western england and also for wales. probably a better chance of staying dry across the southeast. these are mean wind speeds. it's going to be another blustery day. temperature—wise, not bad in the south, a little bit warmer. mid—teens further north.

hello, this is bbc news with lukwesa burak. the headlines... the prime minister says she's ready to make hard choices to get britain moving. liz truss said the government's task was difficult but necessary and they must stay the course. the average two—year mortgage rate hits its highest level for 14 years. if you're burgled in england and wales, a police officer will come to your home — the new pledge from police chiefs. warnings of a looming humanitarian catastrophe in somalia. displaced by war and drought, hundreds of thousands are on the move, looking for food. # diamonds are forever, forever, forever...# and the stars come out to celebrate james bond on the 60th anniversary of the premiere of the first bond film, dr no.

liz truss has insisted she's ready to make the hard choices needed to get the uk's economy moving, in herfirst speech to conservative conference as prime minister. she dismissed those who dislike her tax—cutting policies as the "anti—growth coalition" after she was heckled by a group of environmental activists. ms truss has also faced criticism from some of her own conservative colleagues. henry hill is the deputy editor of conservative home, a publication independent but supportive of the conservative party. he joins us from west london. thank you forjoining us. i have to get your reaction to what you heard today, first off. get your reaction to what you heard today. first off-— today, first off. well, liz truss has never _ today, first off. well, liz truss has never been _ today, first off. well, liz truss has never been anyone's - today, first off. well, liz truss has never been anyone's ideal today, first off. well, liz trussl has never been anyone's idea of today, first off. well, liz truss - has never been anyone's idea of an orator, but as she goes, today's speech was ok. it was shorter than

any other speech at a party conference i think in recent years, and she outlined her economic agenda. the problem is the timing. if this had come before her announcement as part of a broader attempt to get tory mps on site and voters, then it might�*ve been a welcome contribution. but instead, she was trying to make up for the catastrophic mini—budget last week, and that she didn't do. i don't think anyone has come away from birmingham this week thinking that liz truss has a firm hand on the tiller. ,, ., ., ., ., ., ~ ., ., tiller. she had a lot of work to do. what didn't _ tiller. she had a lot of work to do. what didn't she _ tiller. she had a lot of work to do. what didn't she say, _ tiller. she had a lot of work to do. what didn't she say, which - tiller. she had a lot of work to do. what didn't she say, which shouldj what didn't she say, which should she have said quit shallow? she is really in an impossible position. if you talk to people at the conference, even the people who

supported herfor prime minister thought that she would show more respect to the 2019 manifesto and the need to deliver on those promises that were stopped and made that delivered that historically majority three years ago. there will be some movements towards truss economics, but nobody expected her to go hard 90 degrees turn. the other thing that she needs to reassure mps that she can deliver a part of this programme and that it will be saleable to voters. what's got tory mps worries is what she and the chancellor had promised to reassure the markets, match their 40 billion of text lots with 40 billion of spending cuts —— billion of tax cuts. people i've been talking to over the has few days, they have no chance of finding that package of cuts. they either have to abandon

their pledges or go for an unfunded programme, or go in get tory mps to vote for a toxic spending programme they will support. she vote for a toxic spending programme they will support-— they will support. she is still usin: they will support. she is still using the — they will support. she is still using the use _ they will support. she is still using the use distraction -- | they will support. she is still i using the use distraction -- the using the use distraction —— the word distraction, do you think she reads the room correctly? obviously, this has been — reads the room correctly? obviously, this has been badly _ reads the room correctly? obviously, this has been badly mishandled. - this has been badly mishandled. interestingly, it appears that the 45p rate cut was held back when she and her team were war—gaming many of their proposals. there are people in downing street whose job was to read team these proposals, and they didn't have an opportunity to do this with this rate. but the government has u—turn. in some respect, although it does send an export and send all, the rate was a distraction. it wasn't that much money in the whole context of the

overall programme, and the real problem for liz truss and why i think things can get so much worse for her is that she still has to find tens of billions of pounds worth of spending cuts to balance quasi—kwarteng's books. when they tried to do it, it's going to be excruciatingly painful.- tried to do it, it's going to be excruciatingly painful. we've heard and seen a lot— excruciatingly painful. we've heard and seen a lot of— excruciatingly painful. we've heard and seen a lot of the _ excruciatingly painful. we've heard and seen a lot of the comparisonsl excruciatingly painful. we've heard i and seen a lot of the comparisons to margaret thatcher. she still has to balance the books. margaret thatcher had an iron grip. she use language very similar to what we heard during the thatcher years. does she come pull close to comparing? trio. the thatcher years. does she come pull close to comparing?— pull close to comparing? no, and marraret pull close to comparing? no, and margaret thatcher _ pull close to comparing? no, and margaret thatcher did _ pull close to comparing? no, and margaret thatcher did several - pull close to comparing? no, and i margaret thatcher did several things liz truss didn't do. her timing is a lot better. two, to her credit, margaret thatcher was prepared to take on the actual major challenges to growth. those were holding back

the economy back today. it's the fact that we can't build homes for our young people, it takes us forever to build a railway. and that's really what we need to fix. a modern margaret thatcher would be zeroing in on getting britain building. unfortunately, liz truss has shown instead she wants to pander to conservative grassroots, tory voters are overwhelmingly homeowners. the problem with her anti—growth coalition, which she outlined today, actually, she is the leader of it. the conservative party, more antigrowth vote conservative.— party, more antigrowth vote conservative. , ., ,, with me now for some reaction to the last few days are two people who are fresh from the conference — young conservative and first—time conference attendee sami bartlett, and the conservative

of hate speech at paris fashion week. this is why. here he is wearing a wife lives matter —— white lives matter. next to him as the conserve yes —— conservative influencer candace owen. categorised the phrase as a hate statement and jasmine dejuan is with me now. jasmine, thank you forjoining us. —— yasmin. people who don't follow him, just put into context with us. kanye west him, just put into context with us. ka nye west prefers to go him, just put into context with us. kanye west prefers to go by the name yee and was presenting a paris fashion week. we know he's presented

shows previously, and he isn't a stranger to controversy. but i don't think we expected this. so, he was with candace owen, and along with them, a model who happens to be the granddaughter of bob marley. according to the anti—defamation league, that phrase is a racist response to the black lives matter movement. it's affiliated with some neo—nazi groups. movement. it's affiliated with some neo-nazi groups-— movement. it's affiliated with some neo-nazi groups. there's been quite a backlash- — neo-nazi groups. there's been quite a backlash. jaden _ neo-nazi groups. there's been quite a backlash. jaden smith, _ neo-nazi groups. there's been quite a backlash. jaden smith, the - neo-nazi groups. there's been quite a backlash. jaden smith, the son - neo-nazi groups. there's been quite a backlash. jaden smith, the son of| a backlash. jaden smith, the son of the actor will _ a backlash. jaden smith, the son of the actor will smith, _ a backlash. jaden smith, the son of the actor will smith, he _ a backlash. jaden smith, the son of the actor will smith, he then - a backlash. jaden smith, the son of the actor will smith, he then sent i the actor will smith, he then sent out a flurry of tweets including, i don't care whose it is, if i don't feel the message, i'm out. another said simply, black lives matter. the british folk fashion editor is

probably the most senior black male figure in the media industry. gabriela johnson from vogue magazine called the show deeply offensive violent and dangerous. , but she was singled out, so she made quite a targeted attack. she said she had been bullied by west. others came out to rally behind her.— been bullied by west. others came out to rally behind her. kanye west is alwa s out to rally behind her. kanye west is always very _ out to rally behind her. kanye west is always very controversial. - out to rally behind her. kanye west is always very controversial. just i is always very controversial. just how influential is he, particularly with things like this? is he taken seriously? how unusual is that? well, it's not unusual. we have seen instances of politics, bleeding into the fashion industry. markjacobs references to the fashion industry. mark jacobs references to the

the fashion industry. markjacobs references to the decision of rule ro v wade, with the words choice. had a show featuring pageant queens that read, who gets to be american? 2016, a parade of models wearing t—shirts saying we should all be feminists. i don't think... i think it's the particular nature of this and allegations of bullying afterwards. kanye west has moved incredibly throughout this fashion scene. when he was first showing, his collection was deemed sidelined, but he's quite a big player in the only thing he said so far on his instagram in response to why he did what he did — "as everyone knows, black lives matter was a scam, now it's over. you're welcome." there is

the question whether he was trying to be ironic and we do see that sometimes. there's usually a play on use of symbols. but he doesn't seem to be encouraging that theory. the other is whether he simply did it for attention, other is whether he simply did it forattention, but other is whether he simply did it for attention, but he knew it would garner. for attention, but he knew it would carner. . , for attention, but he knew it would carner. ., , ., ~ , ., , for attention, but he knew it would carner. .,, ., ~ i. , . garner. yasmin, thank you very much indeed. the crown prosecution service has apologised unreservedly to a woman whose rape case was dropped, after it was claimed she'd had an episode of a rare sleepwalking condition called sex—somnia. defence lawyers argued that it meant she may have appeared to be awake and consenting. it's believed to be the first case of its kind in the uk. the bbc�*s emma ailes has been following the story for three years. her report starts with police bodycam footage and does contain some distressing details. what's your name, my love? jade. jade, are you able to tell me what's happened, please? yes. i was at a friend's

birthday party, i... it was after a night out thatjade, then 24, woke up with a man lying next to her. she felt like she'd been violated and immediately reported it to the police. do you feel like, potentially, someone had intercourse with you in any way? yes. what we're going to have to do now, jade, is we have to go through... report this as what we call rape. asleep at the time, jade had no recollection of what had happened. but dna evidence proved intercourse had occurred and a man was charged with rape. then, just days before trial, the crown prosecution service called jade in for an urgent meeting. two sleep experts had given opinions on her case.

it's been dropped. my case has been dropped. i can't really make head nor tail of it, to be honest. just mad. it's heartbreaking. the experts said that jade could have had an isolated attack of sexsomnia, a disorder which causes people to engage in sexual activity in their sleep. jade had sleepwalked once or twice as a teenager and occasionally sleep talks, something she had mentioned in passing to the police. this later became central to the defence's argument. dame vera baird is the former victims' commissioner, who recently resigned from the role, saying the justice system is in chaos. we spoke to her before she stepped down. it's a very dangerous and risky diagnosis, in the sense that it could be overstated very easily. and if it isn't challenged, if there isn't always a very, very,

very close look at it, then that's an enormous risk. but it's appalling if the cps drop a very contested defence and just say, "we're not going to bother with that one." jade appealed and the cps admitted it was wrong to drop the case, saying the claims should have been challenged in court. it'sjust being let down, being let down by a system that's there to protect. like, there's no...no hope of anyjustice for what happened to me. yeah, ijust, i feel like change is needed. the cps says it's committed to improving how rape cases are dealt with. legally, jade's case cannot be reopened because the defendant was found formally not guilty, but she hopes the mistakes made won't happen again. emma ailes, bbc news. today is the 60th anniversary of the premiere of the first james bond film, dr no.

remember it? to celebrate, a concert was staged last night in london, dedicated to bond themes. none other than dame shirley bassey stole the show, with renditions of diamonds are forever and goldfinger. she would, wouldn't she? our entertainment correspondent, colin paterson, was there. # diamonds are forever, forever, forever...# dame shirley bassey, belting out bond — the 85—year—old the undoubted star attraction at a royal albert hall concert to celebrate 60 years of 007 themes. he wouldn't take the coat. afterwards, backstage, dame shirley was everything you would hope for... i'm ready. and my diamonds are ready. ..refusing to do interviews until she'd had a massive gold cape attached, and then gushing about the reception she'd received. standing ovation there, dame shirley. oh, how about that? and my musical director had to play it over four times instead of two because i could not start to sing because everybody was standing up
