this is bbc news, the headlines. prime minister liz truss has insisted she won't cut public spending to pay for her multi—billion pound package of tax cuts. but some conservative mps have warned the government may have to rethink its plans to reassure financial markets. ajury in the us has ordered the conspiracy theorist, alexjones, to pay nearly a billion dollars in damages to the families of victims of the sandy hook school massacre a decade ago. ukraine's nato—led allies have announced deliveries of advanced air defence weapons to kyiv, after a spate of russian missile strikes. the weaponry promised by the us, canada, france and the netherlands includes missiles and radars.

and australian scientists say they've created the first "sentient" lab—grown brain. other experts described the work as "exciting" but said calling the cells sentient was going too far. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me arejohn stevens, political editor at the daily mirror and martin bentham, home affairs editor at the evening standard. tonight's front pages make sobering reading for the new pm. the times says her advisers have told her to "rip up" her mini—budget as it has caused such financial and political turmoil. and the ft is reporting a similar call —

but this time made by liz truss�* own backbenchers at a stormy meeting with her in parliament. the mirror can't resist reworking an old margaret thatcher declaration to advise ms truss to change course. but the daily express takes a different approach, saying conservative politicians are blaming remarks by the governor of the bank of england for the fall in the value of sterling. the mail says buckingham palace may scrap plans for the queen consort to wear a crown with the famous koh—i—noor diamond at the coronation — in case it causes a diplomatic row with india. and that royal story makes the lead in the telegraph — with both papers noting any row could scupper the uk government's plans for a trade deal with india. and the sun leads on a story about the strictly contestant helen skelton —

and also has news of mo salah's hat—trick in liverpool's 7—1 champions league defeat of rangers. so let's begin. thank you ever so much forjoining usjohn and martin. let's start with the mirror at this hour. let's start with your very own article, john. just talk us through this. yes. it seems like liz truss is in a very tricky spot this evening. the message from her own mps is that either she gets rid of some of the tax measures she's announced in the many budget or they are going to get rid of her. it seems like the one particular thing that a lot of mps talking about tonight is about her changes to corporation tax. what had been planned as a corporation tax was going to go out next april. when liz truss came in as prime minister she said she would cancel that, she was going to keep corporation tax at the same rate it is now. but now mps

are saying in order to show to the markets that she is going to try and balance the books she needs to moderate these tax cuts that she's announced as part of the mini budget. this is one of the things that need to go. and part of the reason for that is, you speak to business leaders and this is an even one of the things they've been calling for, they've not been saying this would make a big dissident to their businesses. therefore it seems to make sense that this would be one of the things she ditches. there are still concerns that even if she does get rid of this that we're going to have to see major changes in order for the market to have any confidence in her in her chancellor. i think it is quite possible now that were getting to the stage that she might have to sack kwasi kwarteng, get rid of even more measures in the mini budget to show that she is listening. we

“p general election and would you end up losing your seat anyway? do you see if you can find some way that she can manage to stabilise the situation? so far liz truss isn't doing a very good job of explaining to mps what exactly she's going to do to sort out this problem. she had that meeting with backbench tory mps this evening, people there seem to think that she didn't deal well with the criticism. a lot of tory mps saying to her face that they found she trashed the tory reputation in just a matter of weeks. as martin says, she's only got a few options. she can either say she's going to cancel the tax cuts that she announced in limited budget, that would be a big u—turn, that would be humiliation for her. we're sure she's got very little authority as prime minister. she could decide to slash public spending but ijust don't see how she'll get through many decisions pastor tory backbenchers. the other option would be to continue as she said she's

going to. we know what the market reaction has been, absolutely catastrophic to do that. we know this is having real world consequences for people seeing their mortgage rates going up and i worry about their pensions, they are worried about how they could see the economy tanking and people losing theirjobs. so none of the options that liz truss has not is the most likely one is she ends up having to cancel some of the tax cuts she has promise. cancel some of the tax cuts she has romise. ~ ., cancel some of the tax cuts she has romise. a, ., ~ cancel some of the tax cuts she has romise. a, ., . ., ,, ., promise. moving on. we will take a look at the — promise. moving on. we will take a look at the daily _ promise. moving on. we will take a look at the daily express. _ promise. moving on. we will take a look at the daily express. a - look at the daily express. a completely different take on this, tories fighting back here but that is something we heard from jacob brie smoke on the bbc earlier today. the put cashjacob rees—mogg. being back on the mini budget. tram the put cash jacob rees-mogg. being back on the mini budget.— back on the mini budget. two things to say here. — back on the mini budget. two things to say here. the _ back on the mini budget. two things to say here, the daily _ back on the mini budget. two things to say here, the daily express is - back on the mini budget. two things to say here, the daily express is as i to say here, the daily express is as die-hard _ to say here, the daily express is as die-hard as— to say here, the daily express is as die—hard as conservative supporting paper _

of lords is about the calibre of the people that have been put forward over the last few years. one of the problems has been that a lot of people had been nominated to peerages don't see people to have been picked because a great skills, people that the prime minister of the leader of the labour party thought they would be good people to be peers. they seem to have been picked to pay back favors. you've got people who used to be tory donors, people who were put forward ijy donors, people who were put forward by borisjohnson donors, people who were put forward by boris johnson for donors, people who were put forward by borisjohnson for peerage. suggesting that he wasn't a good person to be put forward for the poor isjohnson saying over road them and a few days after he got his seatin them and a few days after he got his seat in the house of lords he donated £500,000 to the tory party. we've also had party signal problems on the labour side. we'rejeremy corbyn back in 2020, he nominated john burke for her. even as he faced accusations of bullying from his

time as common speaker. the message here that's been put forward to both liz truss and keir starmer is when they nominate people for peerages in they nominate people for peerages in the future they need to be a bit more careful about who they are putting forward. more careful about who they are putting forward-— more careful about who they are putting forward. martin, the word is on suitable candidates. _ putting forward. martin, the word is on suitable candidates. clearly, - putting forward. martin, the word is on suitable candidates. clearly, is i on suitable candidates. clearly, is not entirely _ on suitable candidates. clearly, is not entirely a _ on suitable candidates. clearly, is not entirely a new _ on suitable candidates. clearly, is not entirely a new problem, - on suitable candidates. clearly, is not entirely a new problem, is - on suitable candidates. clearly, is not entirely a new problem, is it? j not entirely a new problem, is it? it's desirable for them if you have a house _ it's desirable for them if you have a house of— it's desirable for them if you have a house of lords some people think if you _ a house of lords some people think if you have — a house of lords some people think if you have it you want to people who are — if you have it you want to people who are not appointed just because they are _ who are not appointed just because they are friends or which political ieader— they are friends or which political leader appointing them but have a real contribution to make. i can think— real contribution to make. i can think of— real contribution to make. i can think of people like the former terrorism _ think of people like the former terrorism watch our lord anderson who became a peer. he's got great expertise _ who became a peer. he's got great expertise in — who became a peer. he's got great expertise in the lord, former dps and prosecutions have it come peers for example. great expertise in the law. for example. great expertise in the law when — for example. great expertise in the law. when they scrutinise legislation they got a lot to offer.

last few days. so what the uk is going to offer is more missiles to send to ukraine and these missiles will be used so when there is a missile being fired by russia onto ukrainian city, they can launch these muscles and knock it out of these muscles and knock it out of the sky. the idea is it will put protect ukrainian lies.- the sky. the idea is it will put protect ukrainian lies. let's move on now to — protect ukrainian lies. let's move on now to the _ protect ukrainian lies. let's move on now to the guardian _ protect ukrainian lies. let's move on now to the guardian -- - protect ukrainian lies. let's move i on now to the guardian -- ukrainian on now to the guardian —— ukrainian lives. calls for urgent action to tackle long covid obviously, the world health organization raising... the rates are covered rising, we heard about this in the news. i smoked a lots of people said to me i don't feel like long covid is taken seriously. martin, what are you hearing? i seriously. martin, what are you hearin: ? . . seriously. martin, what are you hearin: ? , ., ., hearing? i 'ust reading what the sto sa s hearing? ijust reading what the story says of — hearing? ijust reading what the story says of course _ hearing? ijust reading what the story says of course we - hearing? ijust reading what the story says of course we do - hearing? ijust reading what thej story says of course we do know in this country— story says of course we do know in this country they were figures only yesterday about the labour markets and of _ yesterday about the labour markets

that's it for the papers tonight. the papers will be back again tomorrow evening with the writer and broadcaster emma woolf and sian griffiths from the sunday times. dojoin us then if you can but for now, goodnight. hello. a night full of goals for the british teams in the champions league, liverpool thrashed rangers seven one at ibrox while tottenham held on to beat eintracht frankfurt three two as natalie pirks reports. rangers hopes may have hung by a thread but at in electric ibrox fans sensed an opportunity. after liverpool's worst premier league start in a

decade and grappling with a lengthy injuring list the reds resolved was about to be tested. rangers first champion league goal in 12 years. ibrox literally bouncing. but a glancing header from a corner to seven minutes later took the wind from rangers sales. rising highest, liverpool back in the game. with mo salah on the bench, he was reveling in his role as the man. some think liverpool have lost their spark but substitutes mo salah was about to set fire to rangers dreams with three goals inside six minutes. the fastest champions league hat trick in history was rounded off rangers.

and injury time couldn't spoil the night. 3— to the score. in var will make it's debut in scottish football at hibernian's premiership meeting with stjohnstone next week. the start date was originally set for after the world cup but after nearly three years of testing it has been brought forward to begin with the match at easter road next friday. it will be coordinated centrally from the video operations room at clydesdale house in glasgow. english domestic rugby's financial problems have deepened — six time champions wasps have been suspended from the premiership after announcing they are "likely" to go into administration "within days". the club have twice filed notice to get insolvency experts in to help with their debts, which run to tens of millions of pounds. they face becoming the second side to go into administration within weeks, following worcester last month. the club say they are working

tirelessly to secure it's future. great britain have won a hat—trick of bronze two medals on the first day of the world track cycling championships in france. the women's sprint team raced off against the netherlands — lauren bell, sophie farewell and it couldn't have been closer for emma finucane on the final lap — getting the victory byjust eight hundredths of a second. germany set a new world record to win the gold medal. the men were next up and an identical result for alastair fielding, hamish turnbull and jack carlin — they beat germany to the bronze medal. australia beat netherlands in the final but carlin reckons great britain are in a good place going into the olympics next year. and 23—year—old jess roberts also took bronze for britain in the first final of the championships, in the womens scratch race, as italy's martina fidanza successfully defended her world title. roberts dedicated her medal to her grandfather, who passed away at the weekend. i'm really happy with that. my granddad passed away on saturday.

so, yeah, he took me riding everywhere as a youth, take me around races. this is a race for him. yeah, i'm very happy. and cycling team ineos grenadiers have signed their first female rider. pauline ferrand—prevot is a multi—discipline cyclist who'sjoined the ineos mountain biking team. the 30—year—old has won eight world titles in that discipline as well as on the road, in cyclocross and gravel. but she says she's targeting an olympic gold medal on home soil at paris 202a. england have continued their preparations for the t20 world cup with another win over australia, winning the warm—up series in the process. they beat the home side in canberra by eight runs, asjoe wilson reports. this is canberra and reaching for the stars here, jos buttler. adam zamper was the australian fielder beneath the ball. jos and england struggled early on. derbin milan constructed the recovery with an

our weather story is becoming a little bit more unsettled as we head towards the weekend. no two days the same at the moment, not only in terms of weather but also the feel of things, both by day and night. now, for thursday, many of us will see some sunny spells, but there will be blustery, squally showers developing in the far north—west. over the next few hours, we'll start to see this weather front easing away from channel coasts. it mightjust continue to bring a little bit of early morning rain on thursday. look at the temperatures — double digits because of the cloud and the rain around. further north, though, it's going to be a chilly start, with a touch of light frost in rural parts. but as we go through the day there will be a good slice of dry and sunny weather to look out for for most of us. into the afternoon, however, the winds will strengthen, we'll see some squally showers developing into northern ireland and north—west scotland in particular. elsewhere, temperatures pretty similar to the last few days by the middle of the afternoon. we're looking at highs of 11—17 celsius — that's 63 fahrenheit. now, that weather front

will continue to move its way steadily south and east, weakening all the time. it's going to be replaced by another one moving through scotland and northern ireland as well. at the same time, there's the potentialfor a little bit of showery rain once again, just clinging on to channel coasts first thing on friday. sandwiched in between the two, we should see some drier, brighter interludes, and behind, it's going to be bright and breezy with showers. so friday's a messy story, a real autumnal story of blustery showers. warm in the sunshine still, with 17 degrees the high. now, low pressure never too far away as we head into the weekend. plenty of isobars, particularly the further north you go. gusts of wind, 40—50 mph, and they're going to be driving weather fronts in around those areas of low pressure. so, saturday is going to be a case of sunny spells and squally showers, the showers most frequent out towards the west, but some of those will start to push a little bit further inland as the day continues. favoured spots for the best of the drier weather,

parts of aberdeenshire and perhaps through south—east england as well. and here, we'll see highs again of around 11—17 celsius. not much change as we go into sunday and monday. the winds stay blustery from a warm source, plenty of showers to dodge as well. take care.
