liz truss is facing intense pressure to reverse her tax—cutting plans, in a bid to reassure both the financial markets and her own party. frances read reports. behind closed doors in downing street, everything is back on the table. billions of pounds of borrowing to fund tax cuts and energy bill support announced only weeks ago. some of it is now in doubt as the government scramble to get the markets and their own mps back onside. here in westminster, the mood among tory mps is one of anger. many privately want measures in the budget changed. 0thers others say the prime minister and the chancellor have made mistakes. the prime minister and the chancellor have to get a grip on this. there have been mistakes. they have got to work this out to settle the markets, to settle at the economy, and to get things back

up and running again. but no one is treating this trivially. this is the most serious thing facing our country right now and we've got to respond and deal with it right now. kwasi kwarteng, who has been attending meetings in washington, dc, has returned home early for urgent talks with the prime minister and conservative mps. but earlier, he insisted he was sticking to his plans. 0ur position hasn't changed. i will come up with the medium term fiscal plan on the 31st of october, as i said earlier in the week, and there will be more detail then. and you will be chancellor and liz truss will be prime minister this time next month? absolutely 100%. i'm not going anywhere. but a u—turn on some aspects of the budget now feels inevitable. and many don't think it can wait until the end of the month. the problem for the prime minister and chancellor is what was in it was everything they said they stood for. frances read, bbc news. as news emerged that the chancellor is returning to the uk early, our economics editor faisal islam has sent us this report from washington. the chancellor of the exchequer,

kwasi kwarteng, is notjust left the british ambassador's residence here in washington, dc, he has left of the entirety of the international monetary fund's annual meetings and gone home a day early, flying back to london unexpectedly. why? _ because his team say he wants to consult with senior members of government, basically the prime minister and his fellow mps, about that mini—budget, the mini—budget that isn'tjust going down badly in his own party, it's also gone down badly in the financial markets. in fact, they are now convinced there's going to be a major u—turn, that a big swathe of that mini—budget will never see the light of day. that is now what kwasi kwarteng has to establish, has to sort out, and quickly. why? because the bank of england, which was helping support with emergency funding those markets of government borrowing, that funding is being pulled

at the end of the day. so really, they have a weekend to sort out what they are going to do. are they going to u—turn? how much are they going to u—turn on? or are they going to face the markets next week? these are very big stakes, a dramatic return to london for the chancellor of the exchequer. 0ur political correspondent iain watson is in westminster for us this morning. iain, is another u—turn now inevitable? nothing is inevitable in politics, but i _ nothing is inevitable in politics, but i think the situation is this. if the _ but i think the situation is this. if the markets are expecting a u-turn— if the markets are expecting a u—turn and there isn't one, the situation — u—turn and there isn't one, the situation could get worse politically and economically for the prime _ politically and economically for the prime minister. i don't think we will see — prime minister. i don't think we will see a — prime minister. i don't think we will see a complete unpicking of the mini budget from last month. but as we have _ mini budget from last month. but as we have been hearing, rishi sunak wanted _ we have been hearing, rishi sunak wanted to— we have been hearing, rishi sunak wanted to increase corporation tax to 25% _ wanted to increase corporation tax to 25% for— wanted to increase corporation tax to 25% for big businesses from next

at a nearby memorial. police say the forensic examinations could take weeks. the coroner at the inquest into the death of 14—year—old molly russell, has written to the government and tech companies, outlining changes he believes would make children safer online. molly took her own life in 2017, after being exposed to harmful material about suicide, depression and self harm on social media. instagram and pinterest have to respond within two months to explain what action they've taken. five people, including an off—duty police officer, have been killed after a gunman opened fire in the city of raleigh in the us state of north carolina. police said the suspect was arrested after the shooting near a popular walking trail. one other person remains in a critical condition in hospital, and an investigation is underway. donald trump has been ordered to give evidence to the committee investigating the storming of the capitol building last january.

five people died and 140 police officers were wounded in the violence, carried out by mr trump's supporters. if he does not comply with the summons, he could face criminal charges and imprisonment. everyone over the age of 50 in england can now book their covid booster and flu jabs. it comes as coronavirus cases have been rising in parts of the uk, with fears there could be a twindemic if immunity isn't topped up before the winter. laura foster reports. the signs of autumn are everywhere. but for many, this season is also about preparing for winter. since the start of september, millions of people across the uk who are most at risk from covid and flu, have been getting vaccinated. the oldest and most at risk were prioritised, including those living and working in care homes and health and social care workers. it's only now that 50 to 64—year—olds in england can book appointments.

we are ready now to take more people and make sure that they're protected. we are facing a twindemic where people are at risk of both covid and flu in the run up to winter. so it's never been more important to come forward and get protected. it means scotland is now the only uk nation yet to offer these vaccinations to this age group. but the scottish government says this invitation is coming soon. flu jabs can be sorted by contacting your local pharmacy or gp, but some will be able to book them online. for the covid booster, you'll need to go online or dial 119. and if you want, in some places you can have both vaccinations at the same time. health experts want people to get all the jabs they're eligible for, because covid and flu could cause huge problems for the nhs this winter. they say anyone who feels unwell should avoid vulnerable friends, colleagues and relatives, and should wear a face covering to stop viruses spreading. laura foster, bbc news.

the king made a surprise appearance at the national television awards last night, with a special video message for emmerdale on the eve of its 50th anniversary. this year's event took place at london's wembley arena, a month later than planned due to the death of the queen. sophie van brugen has the story of the night. we are live from the 0vo arena wembley. known as the oscars of the small screen, the stars were out to celebrate the best of british television. the winner is... ..emmerdale! it was emmerdale's night. not only are they celebrating 50 years of the show, they won the two big awards of the night — best serial drama and best performance — and received a special message from the king. i am delighted to help celebrate the 50th anniversary of emmerdale, and i'm afraid i'm so old i can remember when it was called emmerdale farm.

when he appeared everyone kind of went, "are we awake? is this happening? " and so it wasjust like, "oh!" what a thing. # happy birthday to you...# personal stories were also big winners last night, as voters connected with the emotionaljourneys of very familiar faces. kate garraway�*s insight into caring for her husband derek struck a chord with many. because this one is about caring, and because i think it's an area that doesn't really get enough celebration of how important it is. the national television awards celebrates the very best of the small screen. and for the stars themselves on the red carpet, the fact that they're voted for by the public makes them all the more special. ant and dec won best presenter for the 21st time. they missed the ceremony, however, because they've got covid, so friend stephen mulhern collected it on their behalf. philip schofield and holly

willoughby appeared relieved as this morning retained its title as best daytime show, following controversy over accusations the hosts jumped the queue for the queen lying in state. this means so much to us every year, especially this year. sir lenny henry received a standing ovation as he received the special recognition award. i was allowed to play in this industry and everybody saw me on prime time tv year after year. that helped break down barriers and allowed other people of colour to do the same. and as the broadcasting landscape continues to change, one thing remains constant. there's nothing quite like sitting down to enjoy your favourite tv show. sophie van brugen, bbc news. looked like a good night. now the weather with matt. good morning. it is going to be a

weekend in which we see a little bit of everything. it is autumn, after all. that is the case today. plenty of cloud, mist and fog this morning around east anglia. all of us will see some rain today. between the downpours, some sunshine developing. plenty of cloud at the moment. a morning of rain or drizzle pushing across southern areas. not as wet as yesterday morning. showers in north—west england and have your rain in scotland and northern ireland. afair rain in scotland and northern ireland. a fair bit of sunshine to the north—east of scotland, showers and the west. rain will ease off from glasgow the next hour, as it will in belfast. still there near edinburgh, heading towards carlisle. some splashes of rain in the rest of england and wales. watch out for some mist and fog passed of east anglia and the south—east. cloud

will continue in southern counties of england. lots of showers in northern england, north and west wales in the afternoon. either side of that, more sunshine for scotland and northern ireland. more sunshine in the midlands, north lincolnshire. pleasant in the sunshine. cooler further north. this evening and overnight, plenty of showers in the west. rumbles of thunder, flashes of lightning possible in parts of scotland. before the rain, we could see some frost in the far north—east. a milder start to the weekend for the south. sunshine and showers for saturday, sunday looking like the driver of the two days. thank you. a0 minutes past six. —— 1a. for the past few weeks, nationwide protests have gripped iran, after the death of a 22—year—old kurdish woman in police custody. mahsa amini had been detained for breaching islamic dress codes. women have been at the forefront of the defiant protests, often facing a violent response from the police. 0ur diplomatic correspondent

caroline hawley has this report. these are scenes that have stunned iranians and inspired people around the world. here, schoolgirls take off their headscarves. for a0 years, women have been made to wear them, whether they like it or not. but extraordinary acts of defiance are now taking place against a regime that's controlled what half the population wears, and how they all behave, for so long. and look at what these children are doing to portraits of iran's supreme leader. it's a month since a 22—year—old woman, mahsa amini, went on a fateful and fatal trip to the capital, tehran. she was stopped by iran's morality police, who were unhappy with the way she was wearing her hijab. witnesses say she was beaten before she ended up in a coma and died. this was herfuneral in her home town in the west of the country. her grieving family wrote on her gravestone that she would live

on and become a symbol, as she has. a symbol of women and men standing up to the repression of the iranian regime. the islamic republic was set up in 1979, when the shah of iran was overthrown. not long afterwards, women were made to wear the hijab, though some did challenge it. the shah pulled the door down by force. but these people are putting it up by force. the regime has successfully crushed all protest movements before now with brute force. but this time it faces a deeper challenge, as people from all walks of life say they want nothing less than an end to the islamic republic. azadeh moaveni has just returned from iran, where she witnessed some of the protests. i don't think there's ever been a generation under the islamic republic that's so different to the ruling authorities. they are fearless. they are plugged into the internet. they are sophisticated, they are worldly, they are educated, and they are more secular

and liberal in their lifestyle than probably any generation before them. so where do you think this will all go? it's hard to see things ever going back to how they were before. you know, the morality police, i think, will never be able to resume their patrols in iran. they're forever tainted by having killed a young, innocent girl. so i think we're just at a precipice moment, where sort of both sides are sort of staring each other down. it's really quite frightening. the 16—year—old, serena ismail zaidi, has become a new face of the protests, killed by security forces, as was 16—year—old nika shah shakarami, their deaths are only feeling iranians' fury. red paint on the hands of students in tehran this week. powerful commentary on a regime now facing an unprecedented

crisis of legitimacy. caroline hawley, bbc news. let's take a look at today's front pages. the headline leading the daily mail says the prime minister has 17 days to save herjob, which leads up to the date the chancellor is due to deliver his budget. that is the plan as we speak to you this morning. there is a lot changing though. the mail reports the liz truss could face a leadership challenge if the statement does not calm the markets. the guardian reports that the prime minister is planning to scrap her signature corporation tax pledge, which the paper calls another blow to her authority. the prince of wales in boxing gloves is the main image on the front of the times. the picture was taken yesterday at the queen elizabeth olympic park in london, where the prince was visiting as part of a charity event.

he got involved, hands on. and the sun is leading on the sale of a football from one of the world's most famous matches — the 1986 world cup game between england and argentina. the referee, who awarded diego maradona's handball, is trying to sell the ball for £3 million. we will follow that. a little story about ian botham, cricket legend, sporting legend, who hasjust got home after undergoing successful knee replacement surgery. that is quite a significant operation. anybody who has had one will know that. he was in and out of hospital within 2a hours. amazing. a note to anybody having a knee replacement, he writes, do not bang your knee on the food tray after the operation. that has made me wince! i don't know if he is re—enacting that.

saying, "what's going on? "can we have some help, please?" complications in pregnancy have left her unable to walk, and with a range of health conditions. her husband jason now has to care for her, as well as looking after their young son. idid it! i feel like i'm trapped in this little hell. i have to rely on my husband to do everything for me. and that's not what i wanted for the kids. this fuel price hike, it needs to be sorted. natalie is not the only person whose care has been affected by high fuel prices. the shortage of home care workers is adversely affecting everybody that needs help. the high fuel costs are just making that situation even worse. it's really sad to hear natalie's story, and we're really sorry

that she has experienced that and herfamily. care workers, they go to work because they want to improve lives. they love what they do. they want to make a difference. and it breaks their hearts not to be able to. people need care. it's so important. natalie's former care agency said it was mortified by her situation. shropshire council said they're experiencing a shortage of carers, and the increased cost of living, including fuel prices, adds to this very challenging position. they added... since filming, natalie's case has been reassessed, and she has been told that her care should soon resume. but she worries about those still waiting for support. i have a family, but there are a lot of people that don't have families. their carers are the only people that they see that day. love you.

alice cuddy, bbc news. it is very moving hearing that story. that is natalie's story. we will be talking about this more. it may be something affecting you or somebody you know, at ten past eight. we will discuss the implications of the cost and how it is impacting upon care workers and whether or not they can get to those people who need it most. just gone 2a minutes past six. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. hello, good morning, this is bbc london, i'm frankie. tributes are being paid to sir david amess ahead of the first anniversary of his murder. the southend mp died after being stabbed multiple times while carrying out a constituency surgery. he had been the mp for southend west for 2a years. julie cushion had worked with him for around eight years.

he was fun to work for. had its challenges, as all bosses do. but he was a larger than life character, and every day was fun, there was always something very challenging, but he had the most wicked sense of humour and that did make working for him great fun. battersea power station, one of london's most iconic landmarks will officially re—open today, 39 years after it was decommissioned. the grade ii listed building has been at the centre of a £9 billion re—development of the area which has created thousands of homes, a new retail centre and new tube station. but a group of labour mps in the area say there is a lack of social housing in the development. a busker who still performs around london will make her debut as an actor in a new film set to be released next month. sherika sherard, who's a regular

around waterloo and the southbank, was performing when a film director happened to spot her. when i got home after busking, i got an e—mailfrom a director saying, "hey, i saw you busking and i think you'd be great in a film that i'm currently working on." even though it was scary being an actor, i think it's an opportunity that not a lot of people get, you know, to get a funded film and be the play lead in it, and to showcase your songs so, yeah, it was amazing. let's take a look at how the tubes are running this morning. and so far so good. now the weather with kat. hello there, good morning to you. we may see some glimmers of brightness out there this morning. there will be plenty of cloud through much of the day, and we are expecting a bit of patchy rain to move in late on this afternoon. it's all due to these waving weather fronts in the south, tracking eastward through the day, and those winds will pick up ever so slightly.

any low cloud, mist or fog this morning will lift, some glimmers of brightness at first but you can see through the morning and particularly through the afternoon, plenty of cloud will build with some patchy rain moving through. but towards the end of the afternoon, rain and cloud will edge eastwards so i think for many we will end the day on a bright note with some sunshine, with a maximum temperature today at around 18 celsius. through this evening, that cloud and rain continue to check eastwards. so it will be dry for a time with some lengthy clear spells. towards the end of the night, more cloud will build, bringing in a few sharp showers. still relatively mild tonight. we are looking at lows of around nine or ten degrees. so not particularly cold into our saturday morning. there will be decent spells of sunshine at times, those winds will freshen even further. so do expect it to be windy and there is a chance of a scattering of showers. hello, this is breakfast with

charlie stayt and nina warhurst. coming up on breakfast this morning. we'll have all the red carpet action from the 21st national television awards which took place in london last night. the world's most famous locomotive, the flying scotsman is celebrating 100 years on the tracks. to kick off its centenary year we'll be live at king's cross station throughout the morning. and actor lisa mcgrillis will be in the studio just before nine, to talk about her brand—new channel a drama somewhere boy. following the chancellor's mini budget last month, the bank of england stepped in to calm market turmoil and preserve financial stability. that emergency support comes to an end today. you are going to pick up this story.

it is worth putting it in context, the chancellor is on his way back from america, he has brought short a visit to new york because there are also a lot of talks going on about what will go on next. the backdrop being the bank of england support. yes, that comes to an end today. an enormously corrugated topic which has had a lot of us scratching our heads. —— complicated topic. three weeks ago today, the chancellor announced his mini budget which promised huge tax cuts but contained no detail on how they would be funded. the markets reacted badly. and the bank of england stepped in to start buying government bonds, which are also known as gilts, but that stops at the end of today. and the market reaction will be crucial to what happens next. so we thought we'd run through some of the technical terms you might be hearing in the next few days. first of all, what are gilts? they're basically an iou from the government.

when it wants to spend more money than it's brought in through taxes, it needs to borrow, often from pension funds and insurers, and it agrees to pay them back, plus interest, after say five, ten or 30 years. if you're wondering why it's called a gilt, it's because in the 1800s these deals were done on paper with a gilded edge. another phrase you might have heard recently is �*yield'. essentially that's the interest rate the government pays to its lenders. if lenders are worried about the government's ability to pay them back, they demand higher interest payments. that means it gets more expensive for the government to borrow which is what has happened since the mini budget. some ministers have claimed that this isn't due to government announcements, but here's a graph of how things changed in recent weeks. by far the biggestjump in the cost of borrowing comes after the mini budget. the sudden change in the market meant that many pension funds were at risk of not having enough cash, which is why the bank of england stepped in to buy bonds and help them out. the question now is whether pension funds have moved quickly enough to shore themselves up,

with the bank saying it won't extend today's deadline. the most important thing to say here is that even if it all goes horribly wrong, the money in your pension will be protected. mortgages though are very vulnerable to changes in the market, with mortgage rates closely linked to gilt yields. and that is one way this could have an impact on all of us. changes in gilt prices, the interest rate on government debt going up and down might sound quite abstract. but in material terms, it means much higher mortgage costs for people as they come off fixed—rate deals. and as people are paying more for their mortgages, consumer spending will suffer, pushing the economy towards a recession. it means ultimately higher borrowing costs for companies, which will affect their plans to invest or hire people or expand. and it means a higher cost of servicing its debt for the government. and what that means is, more and more of our tax revenues,

rather than being spent on public services, get swallowed up just in servicing debt. so this is an interest rate shock and it matters for the economy. so all of this really do us affects how much money the government can reasonably afford to spend on things like schools and hospitals, rather than paying money towards its debt. it is enormously complicated, but it really does affect us all.— really does affect us all. thank ou, and really does affect us all. thank you. and we — really does affect us all. thank you, and we wait _ really does affect us all. thank you, and we wait to _ really does affect us all. thank you, and we wait to hear i really does affect us all. thank you, and we wait to hear what | you, and we wait to hear what happens when the chancellor returns. we expect that to be mid—morning, don't we? we expect that to be mid-morning, don't we? , ., , ., don't we? yes, later this morning. we know there _ don't we? yes, later this morning. we know there will _ don't we? yes, later this morning. we know there will be _ don't we? yes, later this morning. we know there will be ongoing i don't we? yes, later this morning. | we know there will be ongoing talks with the prime minister, keep you updated with our political correspondents, and any developments we will let you know. let's get the sport with mike. i’m we will let you know. let's get the sport with mike.— sport with mike. i'm going to tell ou on sport with mike. i'm going to tell you on the _ sport with mike. i'm going to tell you on the little _ sport with mike. i'm going to tell you on the little journey - sport with mike. i'm going to tell you on the little journey from i sport with mike. i'm going to tellj you on the little journey from the upper echelons of european football, the elite come at football. we like

that. manchester united will be breathing a sigh of relief this morning, after a late late winner, against 0mmobia nicosia at old trafford. they had been frustrated throughout by the cypriot side, until two minutes into injury time, scott mctominay kept his cool, to ensure united can still win their europa league group. with two matches still to play...they�*re three points behind real sociedad and united go there in november. arsenal remain top of their group, thanks to a 1—0 win over bodo—glimt in norway, bukayo saka getting a deflection off his chest for the only goal of the game. it means arsenal will be through to the knock out with a win but hearts were thrashed 5—1 by italian side fiorentina. they now need to win their remaining two games and hope other results go their way to have any chance of qualifying for the knockout stages.

great britain struck gold on the second day of the track cycling world championships. the men's team pursuit team, led by dan bigham, beat the olympic champions italy in the final bringing the world championship back to great britain for the first time since in four years. it's genuinely unbelievable. like the guys were saying, we reallyjust came together in the last few weeks. team morale is at an all—time high and just everything really fell into place quite nicely. we had pretty good qualifying, pretty good rounds and we definitely learned from those and put in, i think, as best as we could have expected. yeah, this one is for george peasgood, he was due to be here next week at the para world champs, he had a bit of accident and he is in critical care at the moment. so, here's to you, george. now when you've waited nearly three decades for your team to be champions,

you are going to celebrate in style. and that was the case in speedway last night, as the belle vue aces won the british premiership grand final after a 29 year wait. they won away at the sheffield tigers and the riders joined the travelling fans in the mexican themed celebrations. the sombreros were out in force. they have become a bit of a tradition for the club, and began as a bit of a joke about the manchester weather. a village football team will try to make fa cup history this weekend, by reaching the first round of this famous competition. the village is cold and stay, i am guessing you have never been there? —— at the village is called anstey. it is in leicestershire. when we say it village, really a village? i it village, really a village? i normally get a couple of hundred for their games. just to show the size

of the club as well, in the last round, they changed the kick—off time so they could accommodate a wedding in the club bar because earning money from the wedding reception was bringing more money in than staging the third qualifying round of the fa cup. it is the romance of the cup. they are located near the national space centre so you could say it is a small step in terms of the fa cup but a giant leap for anstey nomads. they have had to build a tv tower because it is live on the bbc. build a tv tower because it is live on the bbc-— build a tv tower because it is live on the bbc. ~ ., , .., ., ., build a tv tower because it is live on the bbc. ~ ., , ., ., ., on the bbc. would it be common for a team like that — on the bbc. would it be common for a team like that to _ on the bbc. would it be common for a team like that to get _ on the bbc. would it be common for a team like that to get beyond - on the bbc. would it be common for a team like that to get beyond this i team like that to get beyond this stage or is it usually a wipe—out? how often do they get through? thea;r how often do they get through? they would be the — how often do they get through? they would be the first, they have come from the ninth tier, the lowest ranked team in the competition, surviving, the first village side to ever get this far. the great thing is as well, they are up against

chesterfield from the national league. their last match in the fa cup was against chelsea. the quite an experience for chesterfield as well. , " ., ., well. the thing is, 11 of them and 11 of us, anything _ well. the thing is, 11 of them and 11 of us, anything can _ well. the thing is, 11 of them and 11 of us, anything can happen i well. the thing is, 11 of them and 11 of us, anything can happen on | well. the thing is, 11 of them and i 11 of us, anything can happen on the day. 11 of us, anything can happen on the da . �* , ., 11 of us, anything can happen on the da . �*, ., ., 11 of us, anything can happen on the da . �* , ., ., , ., day. let's go and visit them for ourselves _ in the backwaters of rural leicestershire, the village football team on the verge of take—off. creating an fa cup story that is out of this world. three, two, one, and lift—off! because these days one of the big employers for village residents is the national space centre, just up the road, and their fa cup fever has sent them over the moon with excitement, especially if your daughter plays for the anstey nomadsjunior team. it's absolutely amazing, brilliant for anstey nomads and really good for the community as well. we're hoping that anstey nomads

are going to reach for the stars. it's actually quite mind—blowing and hard to take in. you wouldn't think you're going to play for a team, which is, like, playing in better leagues. it is a small step in terms of this season's fa cup competition overall, but it's a giant leap for the anstey nomads as they step and explore the unknown. it is believed that they're the smallest village club of their size to have got to the fourth qualifying round of the fa cup. one of the driving forces behind the club's success has been the manager, tony, who's also a director of a school which has been set up at the football club for youngsters with autism, adhd and other learning challenges. the classrooms and playground are next to the football team's changing rooms, just behind the pitch. we pay rent to the football club, which helps the football club massively at this level. it's manage management, the people

that i seem to be good at, dealing with the kids, making them happy. and it's exactly the same. the boys train once, half the time they don't want to train twice a week at this level because they've gotjobs and lives. and, you know, ijust manage them and we're all in it together. everyone's equally important. and it's the same here, you know, from the learning support to me it helps that tony has his central defender, lewis, work together and make them realise if you work as a team, you can do a lot more with yourself in your life. it's absolutely unreal. i'm speechless to talk about it because i came from here, from when i was about five years of age, being a ball boy down here, getting paid a pound a pop to get the balls out the stinging nettles on the other side. despite the club's size, anstey do have a former

premier league goalie and scottish cup winner in their ranks. conrad logan now runs a local academy and plays for the nomads forfree. it sort of takes you back to the beginning of the journey as well. so, you know, i come from a small town back in ireland, a little village, and, you know, here doing that now after being 20 years in the professional game. so it's nice to come back to my roots, sort of thing. the young kidsjumping on the pitch after the game celebrating, slightly different to scottish cup when there was 20,000 on the pitch, but it was actually probably nearly as emotional as it was when i was playing. anstey�*s fa cup journey has already lasted longer than the reign of their most famous royal resident, ladyjane grey, who had this house here but was only queen of england for nine days back in 1553. all these centuries on, it's footballing history they're now learning about as this village is put back on the map once more.

they have lifted the cup! that is special. coverage will be live on bbc iplayer and the bbc sport website and app from 12:20 on saturday in time for kick off at 12:30, there we are. a huge weekend, rugby league world cup starts tomorrow, in an hour we will bejoining them live in newcastle, adam will get the party started today. taste in newcastle, adam will get the party started today.— in newcastle, adam will get the party started today. we like it when sort party started today. we like it when sport embraces _ party started today. we like it when sport embraces the _ party started today. we like it when sport embraces the little _ party started today. we like it when sport embraces the little guys i party started today. we like it when sport embraces the little guys and l sport embraces the little guys and the big guys. sport embraces the little guys and the big guys— the big guys. yeah, you get the manauer the big guys. yeah, you get the manager also — the big guys. yeah, you get the manager also working - the big guys. yeah, you get the manager also working with i the big guys. yeah, you get the manager also working with the | the big guys. yeah, you get the i manager also working with the school on the site, the defender teaching assistant. it’s on the site, the defender teaching assistant. �* , , ., on the site, the defender teaching assistant. ., , , assistant. it's brilliant because it is --eole assistant. it's brilliant because it is people giving _ assistant. it's brilliant because it is people giving up _ assistant. it's brilliant because it is people giving up their - assistant. it's brilliant because it is people giving up their time i assistant. it's brilliant because it is people giving up their time to | is people giving up their time to invest— is people giving up their time to invest in— is people giving up their time to invest in the club.— invest in the club. they all have otherjobs. _ invest in the club. they all have otherjobs, they _ invest in the club. they all have otherjobs, they work _ invest in the club. they all have otherjobs, they work at - invest in the club. they all have otherjobs, they work at the i invest in the club. they all have | otherjobs, they work at the club invest in the club. they all have i otherjobs, they work at the club in otherjobs, they work at the club in other capacities. thank you. here's matt with a look at this morning's weather. that is a beautiful autumn behind

you. good morning to you. plenty around at the moment. let's have a look at the weekend. the autumn colours will look good at times particularly on saturday, a bit of sunshine around, but any plans on saturday, cater for the chance of some rain, there will be showers in the north and west of the country. sunday has a lot of dry weather, joyous day for many of you. but across the southern and western areas, be prepared, it will turn increasingly wet and windy later in the day. that is your guide for the weekend. what about today? that will be a mishmash of everything, mist and fog around in east anglia, all of us will see some rain today. but there should be a little bit more sunshine around as we go into the afternoon compared with this morning. here is where the rain is at the moment. patchy light rain and drizzle in seven counties, not as heavy as the other day, but heavy

best through the central belt of scotland into northern ireland, edging south. it will push through glasgow and edinburgh in the next hour or two eventually eating. rain light and patchy across northern ireland, sunshine coming out of it showers back in for the north and west of scotland. a cloudy afternoon for northern england, north and west wales with rain at times, clad in the east anglia and south east, patchy rain and drizzle but further west, things will gradually brighten up. wind is not particularly strong through today so when some sunnier moments come out in the south, it will feel warm and cool further north. into this evening and overnight, the first batch of showers clears away and then lots of showers clears away and then lots of showers rolling into the west later in the night. some rumbles of thunder, flashes of lightning possible, but before that pushes in, it could be cold enough for a touch of frost parts of scotland, mild in the south and on saturday, sunshine and showers.

thank you, i think! it is autumn, you get a bit of everything. we are in for a treat this morning. the most famous steam train of all time is celebrating 100 years on the tracks. the flying scotsman has travelled 2.5 million miles and was the first locomotive to circumnavigate the globe. john's at king's cross station for us this morning, ahead of a weekend of special events. when i saw your name was on the story, i thought, when i saw your name was on the story, ithought, he's when i saw your name was on the story, i thought, he's going to have the time of his life!— the time of his life! yeah! how did ou the time of his life! yeah! how did you know? — the time of his life! yeah! how did you know? you — the time of his life! yeah! how did you know? you know— the time of his life! yeah! how did you know? you know me - the time of his life! yeah! how did you know? you know me so i the time of his life! yeah! how did you know? you know me so well. | the time of his life! yeah! how did i you know? you know me so well. what an amazing privilege it is, really, to sit here in the cab of the flying scotsman. the running joke with the engine and the train, it's a bit like trigger�*s broom, everything has been replaced over the last 100 years. i was looking at the speedometer because in 193a, it

broke 100 mph, the first steam loco to do that but that is not the original speedo, that was in one of the carjust behind here. we are at king's cross, 170 years old itself, for the weekend. the trade will be here for the weekend before going around the country over the next year to do its anniversary. it is of course steeped in history, and you would expect and hope that i was going to do this, wouldn't you? the flying scotsman, one of the most famous of all steam locomotives, puffed impatiently, eager to be on her way to repeat history. the name that eclipses any other in the history of steam and the railways remains as emotive today as in any time during its century—long history. the flying scotsman. she broke records and set pulses racing. the first to break the 100 mile per hour barrier in 193a and to make the a00 mile journey from london

to edinburgh without stopping. her speed saw her credited with delaying the inevitable takeover by diesel locomotives that was coming down the tracks. the flying scotsman, britain's best known express, gives passengers a sight they haven't seen since 19a1. restaurant cars and railway kitchens are back again. and as britain adapted to post—war life, it was the scotsman chosen to highlight the return of on—board kitchens. welcomed by passengers, as this wholly unscripted exchange shows. have you enjoyed your lunch, sir? i've enjoyed it very much indeed, thank you. it's a very pleasant change after about, what is it, four years of sandwiches. she was taken around the world to showcase british engineering at its best, but often the business of running the scotsman ran into the buffers. her ownership changed hands several times.

an extensive ten year restoration, costing more than £a million, was completed six years ago by the national railway museum to give the engine a new lease of life. these days, she tours the country's rail tracks, much to the delight of those who turn out in their droves to see her, if only for a few fleeting moments as the scotsman flies by. she even looks fast, you know, when you see it up close, those sleek lines. and right next to it, its successor, the brand—new train over there. much faster but you would rather travel on this one, wouldn't you? nigel drove it in overnight, clive, sorry, ishould you? nigel drove it in overnight, clive, sorry, i should say! you? nigel drove it in overnight, clive, sorry, ishould say! how you? nigel drove it in overnight, clive, sorry, i should say! how does she drive? it clive, sorry, i should say! how does she drive? . , clive, sorry, i should say! how does she drive? ., , ., , clive, sorry, i should say! how does she drive?— clive, sorry, i should say! how does she drive? .,, ., , ., , she drive? it was lovely and smooth. i was

that you await a reminder to be called, or can you go and book one yourself? called, or can you go and book one ourself? ., , ., , ., , ., yourself? you should be able to ouknow yourself? you should be able to youknow naturally _ yourself? you should be able to youknow naturally go _ yourself? you should be able to youknow naturally go to - yourself? you should be able to youknow naturally go to the i yourself? you should be able to i youknow naturally go to the national booking service in england and book your own booster, you have to go to those questions. i think a lot of general practices, depending if your phone number is on the system, will be sending out reminders to say, go and book your appointment now. people will be aware thatjust last week there were warnings about a rise in the number of covid cases, take us through what the wider picture is. take us through what the wider icture is. . . . take us through what the wider icture is. ., , , ., take us through what the wider icture is. .,, , ., . .,, picture is. cases have increased a . ain picture is. cases have increased again this _ picture is. cases have increased again this week, _ picture is. cases have increased again this week, we _ picture is. cases have increased again this week, we released i picture is. cases have increased i again this week, we released figures late yesterday which shows that all of the numbers are growing up in england. there are some age groups which are beginning to flatten, rates in children are flattening, we are seeing rates going up in older people. that is particularly worrying because they are the age

group who are most likely to get severe covid and getting to hospital, and we don't really want that to happen. so it's really important that people over 50 get a booster because that will prevent them getting into hospital by boosting their immunity from their previous vaccines. and help detect them as well as protecting the nhs from the pressures that are likely to get worse over the winter as we see more other infections in addition. ~ . . see more other infections in addition-— see more other infections in addition. ., , ., . ., addition. what is the advice to eo - le addition. what is the advice to people who — addition. what is the advice to people who are _ addition. what is the advice to people who are eligible - addition. what is the advice to people who are eligible for- addition. what is the advice to i people who are eligible for both a flu jab and the booster? should they have them them separately or together? have them them separately or touether? �* ., . have them them separately or touether? ., ,.,, have them them separately or touether? ., , ., together? both are acceptable and oliticall together? both are acceptable and politically both _ together? both are acceptable and politically both are _ together? both are acceptable and politically both are fine, _ together? both are acceptable and politically both are fine, it - together? both are acceptable and politically both are fine, it is i politically both are fine, it is absolutely safe to have them together all separately. it really depends a bit on how convenient it is and how the system works in your area. we think one in five people have been getting boosters at the same time. 50 to 64 in particular,

they are a little bit behind on the flue, so i think some of those will have to get covid first and then wait a little bit longerfor the have to get covid first and then wait a little bit longer for the flu jab. wait a little bit longer for the flu 'ab. . ~' , ., , wait a little bit longer for the flu 'ab. ., ,, i. , . wait a little bit longer for the flu jab. thank you very much, doctor mary ramsay- — time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. hello, good morning. this is bbc london, im frankie mccamley. tributes are being paid to sir david amess ahead of the first anniversary of his murder. the southend mp died after being stabbed multiple times while carrying out a constituency surgery. he had been the mp for southend west for 24 years. julie cushion had worked with him for around eight of those.. he was fun to work for. had his challenges, as all bosses do. but he was a larger than life

character, and every day was fun, there was always something very challenging, but he had the most wicked sense of humour and that did make working for him great fun. battersea power station, one of london's most iconic landmarks, will officially re—open today, 39 years after it was decommissioned. the grade 2—listed building has been at the centre of a £9 billion redevelopment of the area. but a group of labour mps say there is a lack of social housing in the development. a busker who still performs around london will make her debut as an actor in a new film set to be released next month. sherika sherard, who's a regular around waterloo and the southbank, was performing when a film director happened to spot her. when i got home after busking, i got an e—mailfrom a director saying, "hey, i saw you busking and i think

you'd be great in a film that i'm currently working on." even though it was scary being an actor, i think it's an opportunity that not a lot of people get, you know, to get a funded film and be the play lead in it, and to showcase your songs so, yeah, it was amazing. let's take a look at how the tubes are running this morning now the weather with kat. hello there, good morning to you. we may see some glimmers of brightness out there this morning. there will be plenty of cloud through much of the day, and we are expecting a bit of patchy rain to move in late on this afternoon. it's all due to these waving weather fronts in the south, tracking eastward through the day, and those winds will pick up ever so slightly. any low cloud, mist or fog this morning will lift, the morning and particularly through the afternoon, plenty of cloud will build with some patchy rain moving through. but towards the end of the afternoon, rain and cloud will edge eastwards so i think for many we will end the day on a bright note with some sunshine,

with a maximum temperature today at around 18 celsius. through this evening, that cloud and rain continue to check eastwards. so it will be dry for a time with some lengthy clear spells. towards the end of the night, more cloud will build, bringing in a few sharp showers. still relatively mild tonight. we are looking at lows of around nine or ten degrees. so not particularly cold into our saturday morning. there will be decent spells of sunshine at times, those winds will freshen even further. so do expect it to be windy and there is a chance of a scattering of showers. that's it from me. plenty more online, and don't forget to follow us on social media — we're on twitter and instagram. see you in half an hour. have a lovely morning

good morning, welcome to breakfast with charlie stayt and nina warhurst. 0ur headlines today. the chancellor, kwasi kwarteng, cuts short a visit to the us to return to downing street for urgent talks over his mini—budget. more u—turns on tax cuts are under discussion, as government faces mounting pressure after weeks of financial turmoil. the ukrainians being housed in the uk — as the six month scheme for the first arrivals ends, we look at the difficult decisions facing refugees and their hosts.

late drama at old trafford spares the blushes of manchester united, who finally got a goal in injury time to keep alive their chances of winning their europa league group. a 50th anniversary celebration for the cast of emmerdale at the national television awards — and a surprise contribution from the king. i'm afraid i'm so old i can remember when it was called emmerdale farm. and if there is a little bit of wet weather around this morning for money. more sunshine in the afternoon. details coming up. good morning. it's friday, the 14th october. our main story. the chancellor kwasi kwarteng has cut short his visit to the us, to hold urgent talks with the prime minister, as pressure mounts on the government over its mini—budget. liz truss is facing calls to reverse her tax—cutting plans, in a bid to reassure both the financial markets and her own party.

frances read reports. it was a late departure from the us for the chancellor last night as he headed to the airport, returning home for dogs with the prime minister over the government's controversial mini budget. kwasi kwarteng had been in washington, dc for a meeting of the globalfinance ministers. speaking with before it was known he would be returning early, he insisted he was sticking to his plans. early, he insisted he was sticking to his plans-— to his plans. our position hasn't chanced. to his plans. our position hasn't changed- l _ to his plans. our position hasn't changed. iwill— to his plans. our position hasn't changed. i will come _ to his plans. our position hasn't changed. i will come up - to his plans. our position hasn't changed. i will come up with i to his plans. our position hasn't| changed. i will come up with the medium—term fiscal plan on the 31st of october, as i said earlier in the week, and there will be more detailed then.— week, and there will be more detailed then. and you will be chancellor _ detailed then. and you will be chancellor and _ detailed then. and you will be chancellor and liz _ detailed then. and you will be chancellor and liz truss i detailed then. and you will be chancellor and liz truss will i detailed then. and you will be | chancellor and liz truss will be prime minister this time next month? absolutely 100%. prime minister this time next month? absolutely100%. i'm prime minister this time next month? absolutely 100%. i'm not going anywhere. behind closed doors in downing street, everything is back on the table. billions of pounds of borrowing to fund tax cuts and energy bill support announced only weeks ago. some of it is now in doubt

as the government scramble to get the markets and their own mps back onside. here in westminster, the mood among tory mps is one of anger. many privately want measures in the budget changed. others say the prime minister and the chancellor have made mistakes. the prime minister and the chancellor have to get a grip on this. there have been mistakes. they have got to work this out to settle the markets, to settle at the economy, and to get things back up and running again. but no one is treating this trivially. this is the most serious thing facing our country right now and we've got to respond and deal with it right now. the chancellor would spell out... many don't think it can wait until the end of the month. a u—turn on at least some aspects of the budget now seems inevitable. as news emerged that the chancellor

is returning to the uk early, our economics editor, faisal islam, has sent us this report from washington. the chancellor of the exchequer, kwasi kwarteng, has notjust left the british ambassador's residence here in washington, dc, he has left of the entirety of the international monetary fund's annual meetings and gone home a day early, flying back to london unexpectedly. why? _ because his team say he wants to consult with senior members of government, basically the prime minister and his fellow mps, about that mini—budget, the mini—budget that isn'tjust going down badly in his own party, it's also gone down badly in the financial markets. in fact, they are now convinced there's going to be a major u—turn, that a big swathe of that mini—budget will never see the light of day. that is now what kwasi kwarteng has to establish, has to sort out, and quickly. why? because the bank of england,

which was helping support with emergency funding those markets of government borrowing, that funding is being pulled at the end of the day. so really, they have a weekend to sort out what they are going to do. are they going to u—turn? how much are they going to u—turn on? or are they going to face the markets next week? these are very big stakes, a dramatic return to london for the chancellor of the exchequer. our political correspondent, iain watson, is in westminster for us this morning. it is one of those mornings, we have to concentrate on what we do now. the only hit to concentrate on what we do now. the only bit we do know is the chancellor is due to arrive back in the uk mid morning, and after that? indeed. after that he will be speaking to the prime minister, to liz truss — speaking to the prime minister, to liz truss. downing street are playing — liz truss. downing street are playing down any significance to that _ playing down any significance to that. they speak regularly, apparently. it is not that regular for the _ apparently. it is not that regular for the chancellor to hop on a plane

thermometer. we will see plenty of that at times in the sunshine in the next few days. it is a pick mix forecast. you will get a little bit of everything. certainly this morning there is some rain around. the better chance of some sunshine between the wetter moments later in the day. whitest at this moment this morning in southern counties of england and wales. showers in north—west england. the heaviest rain in central belt of scotland. on the move south and east. it should clear in glasgow and edinburgh. showers in the west. sunniest of all in north—east scotland. brightening up in north—east scotland. brightening up in northern ireland. downpours moving into cumbria, northumberland. a gloomy picture across the midlands, southern england and south wales. sporadic rain and drizzle. misty and foggy in east anglia and the south—east. a little bit of everything. as we go through the day, while the cloud and patchy drizzle in the south becomes confined to east anglia and the

south—east, brightening up elsewhere. in the north—west of wales, north—west england will see some showers. scotland and northern ireland will have more sunshine. cooler here. overnight, showers ease temporarily. then we start to pack them in central areas later in the night. some heavy infantry, particularly in scotland. we could see a touch of frost in the north—east of scotland. mildest further south. north—east of scotland. mildest furthersouth. it north—east of scotland. mildest further south. it is a day of sunshine and showers on saturday. it could get wet at any moment through the day. sunday, bright start for many. wetter and windier in the west later. 18 degrees in october? a few degrees above where we should be in southern areas in the next few days. average for scotland and northern ireland, if not cooler. a contrast north to south. thank you. 14 minutes past seven. since the outbreak of war in ukraine, almost 30,000 refugees have relocated to the uk and many

families welcomed them into their homes. refugees were offered housing for a minimum period of six months, and that is now almost at an end, meaning difficult decisions need to be made about the future. our special correspondent lucy manning has this report. that's her. that's her, isn't it? yeah. march, stansted, safety. hello! clare and her family sponsored elena and her daughter diana from irpin. they couldn't let go of each other. oh, my god! 0k. but after six months in essex, it is time to go. that's fine. but to where? so what are you going to do? i've got no idea. i won't be kicking them out tomorrow, because, you know, that would just be completely unreasonable. the government were very much all, you know, people of uk, you know, open your doors, you know, we'll be supportive of you. and they haven't been.

my hosting commitment of six months is over. calls to the council and local mp have brought no viable solutions. well, just... ..let down. it's caused me enormous amount of stress, because i don't want to see my guests homeless. by the same token, for personal reasons, i do need to see an end to them living with us. 22—year—old diana first stayed with clare as a child when she came with the chernobyl children's charity. the return here, forced by war, hasn't been easy. host and guests are pleased the sponsorship happened, but there have been strains. is it stressful for you to know that you have to move? yes, it's stress for me because i understand, i leave here, my time finished and i understand clare, because home little.

elena has a job so wants to stay in the area, but worries rent will be too expensive. across the country, families opened up their homes to ukrainians. but by the end of this month, nearly 30,000 will have been here for six months, and that number will only rise. in oxfordshire, anna, a mathematician from donetsk, and her two children have been sponsored byjane and her husband, nick... can i take a glass? ..getting on well. but next month will be the end of the sponsorship period. i think we feel guilty because it's hard to end a commitment. if it was recognised at the beginning, we are just refuge, we are not here to provide accommodation for as long as the war goes on for, i think more thinking along those

lines would have been helpful, both for our thinking and the government. they are trying to find new sponsors nearby, so the children can stay in their schools. translation: i'm worried that if we don't find - accommodation, i'll be forced to impose change on my children again. there is a difficult journey ahead of them. they don't have roots. and another change would be a blow for them. the war isn't over, so neither is their exile. lucy manning, bbc news. we're joined now by beth eshelby, who's hosting nataliia aristova and her family in sheffield, and krish kandiah from the sanctuary foundation, which has been supporting both ukrainian refugees

engineering. you think of concorde, you think of the flying scotsman. she even looks fast, don't you agree? constantly being refitted, maintained, replaced. none of the parts are the original parts. hand painted, the boiler is. it takes a team of 30 to keep a running and maintained. we are learning all sorts of things this morning. she will be at kings cross over the weekend for people to come and visit. have a look down here at the wheels. i thought of the wheels on the locomotive would be cast as one piece but they are not. they are separate pieces. the centre, the spokes and the outer rim are all separate. they all have to be made by the team that look after her in york at the national railway museum. they wear down depending on how she is driven. they were more quickly if she is driven quite aggressively. hand painted, as i say. the boiler. the firm and loading up the boiler. ten tonnes of coal. four point 5000

gallons of water. absolutely mind blowing. come into the cab here. again, looking around at all of the brass and the shiny stuff, looking absolutely spectacular. i'm not allowed to press too many levers or buttons, as you can imagine, but i am allowed to pull one very important lever. i will do that now. then we'll hand you want to our news teams around the uk for the news, travel and where you are. here we go. hello, good morning, this is bbc london, i'm frankie. tributes are being paid to sir david amess ahead of the first anniversary of his murder. the southend mp died after being stabbed multiple times while carrying out a constituency surgery. he had been the mp for southend west for 24 years. julie cushion worked with him. he was fun to work for. had his challenges, as all bosses do.

but he was a larger than life character, and every day was fun, there was always something very challenging, but he had the most wicked sense of humour and that did make working for him great fun. london's new year's eve celebrations are returning to the banks of the thames this year. for the first time in three years tickets go on sale on friday. more than 100,000 people will get to see the world famous fire display. it's only been available to watch on bbc one and iplayer for the last three years. a busker who still performs around london will make her debut as an actor in a new film set to be released next month. sherika sherard, who's a regular around waterloo and the southbank, was performing when a film director happened to spot her. when i got home after busking, i got an e—mailfrom a director saying, "hey, i saw you busking and i think you'd be great in a film that i'm

currently working on." even though it was scary being an actor, i think it's an opportunity that not a lot of people get, you know, to get a funded film and be the play lead in it, and to showcase your songs so, yeah, it was amazing. let's take a look at how the tubes are running this morning. so far so good — there is a good service all round at the moment. now the weather with kat. hello there, good morning to you. we may see some glimmers of brightness out there this morning. there will be plenty of cloud through much of the day, and we are expecting a bit of patchy rain to move in late on this afternoon. it's all due to these waving weather fronts in the south, tracking eastward through the day, and those winds will pick up ever so slightly. any low cloud, mist or fog this morning will lift, the morning and particularly through the afternoon, plenty of cloud will build with some patchy rain moving through. but towards the end of the afternoon, rain and cloud will edge eastwards so i think for many we will end the day

on a bright note with some sunshine, with a maximum temperature today at around 18 celsius. through this evening, that cloud and rain continue to check eastwards. so it will be dry for a time with some lengthy clear spells. towards the end of the night, more cloud will build, bringing in a few sharp showers. still relatively mild tonight. we are looking at lows of around nine or ten degrees. so not particularly cold into our saturday morning. there will be decent spells of sunshine at times, those winds will freshen even further. so do expect it to be windy and there is a chance of a scattering of showers. that's it from me. if you have a story don't forget you can contact us on social media. we're on twitter and instagram. see you in an hour. hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and nina warhurst. in the last few minutes we've had some breaking news

about royal mail job cuts. hannah's here with more. what do you know? we have had a statement from _ what do you know? we have had a statement from the _ what do you know? we have had a statement from the parent i what do you know? we have had a. statement from the parent company what do you know? we have had a i statement from the parent company of royal mail, which suggests that royal mail, which suggests that royal mail, which suggests that royal mail may need to lose 10,000 jobs by the end of august 2023. they estimate that five to 6000 of those would be redundancies, which may be required. they say that this is in response to the impact of industrial action, delays in delivering agreed productivity improvements, and lower parcel volumes. we are not using royal mail in the way we once were. royal mail in the way we once were. royal mail in the way we once were. royal mail is in the middle of a dispute with the communication workers union, they have been out on strike in recent days. the statement we have had this morning says that the three days of industrial action so far have cost the company £70

million. that figure is expected to go million. that figure is expected to 9° up million. that figure is expected to go up further, with more industrial action still planned. the statement says, this is a very sad day, i regret that we are announcing these job losses, we will do all of we can to support everyone affected and we will do all we can to avoid compulsory redundancies. it is not clear that whether that if the strikes are called off that the job losses would still go ahead or whether this is all part of the negotiations. irate whether this is all part of the negotiations.— whether this is all part of the negotiations. whether this is all part of the neuotiations. ~ ., , ., ., negotiations. we will leave you to contact royal _ negotiations. we will leave you to contact royal mail— negotiations. we will leave you to contact royal mail and _ negotiations. we will leave you to contact royal mail and the i negotiations. we will leave you to contact royal mail and the unions| negotiations. we will leave you to i contact royal mail and the unions to find out what the situation is and get some more clarification through the morning. thank you. there's growing speculation of a u—turn over the government's mini budget. as the chancellor leaves the us early, for urgent talks

with the prime minister. we're joined now by the conservative mp mel stride, who is also the chair of the treasury select committee. good morning. so, he is heading home early, what do you expect to hear from him in the coming days? what early, what do you expect to hear from him in the coming days? what i think i would — from him in the coming days? what i think i would like _ from him in the coming days? what i think i would like to _ from him in the coming days? what i think i would like to hear _ from him in the coming days? what i think i would like to hear is - from him in the coming days? what i think i would like to hear is that i think i would like to hear is that these rumours that there will be a reset moment around the tax measures that he announced in late september are correct, because i think things have reached a stage now with the markets, and with confidence in those financial markets, where we need a fundamental reset. so i'm hoping that it's to engage in conversations with the pm and others, and to row back on some of those unfunded tax cuts that were announced in september.- announced in september. psst those unfunded tax cuts that were announced in september.- those unfunded tax cuts that were announced in september. psst -- so a fundamental — announced in september. psst -- so a fundamental reset _ announced in september. psst -- so a fundamental reset sell _ announced in september. psst -- so a fundamental reset sell to _ announced in september. psst -- so a fundamental reset sell to me - announced in september. psst -- so a fundamental reset sell to me like i fundamental reset sell to me like you don't have faith in any of the mini budget. i you don't have faith in any of the mini budget-— mini budget. i have argued for a lona time mini budget. i have argued for a long time that _ mini budget. i have argued for a long time that coming _ mini budget. i have argued for a long time that coming forward i mini budget. i have argued for a i long time that coming forward with multiple tens of billions of pounds

worth of unfunded tax cuts in high inflation environment with a tight labour market and low growth was never likely to lead to a situation where growth brings forward and everything slot into place. it was more likely to lead in the lack of confidence there has been in the markets over the last few weeks. that's not to say that we cannot reset, and i think there is the time to do that. i think he needs to bring any announcement he is going to make about a u—turn on taxes, he needs to make them going to make them sooner rather than later and certainly not wait until the end of the month where he is bringing forward his general plan and this office for budget responsibility forecast. �* . . office for budget responsibility forecast. �* , forecast. because time is of the essence, forecast. because time is of the essence. we — forecast. because time is of the essence, we know— forecast. because time is of the essence, we know the - forecast. because time is of the essence, we know the support i forecast. because time is of the i essence, we know the support system by the bank of england ends today, will the markets want to be reassured by that point? iii will the markets want to be reassured by that point? if you have not reassured by that point? if you have got something _ reassured by that point? if you have got something which _ reassured by that point? if you have got something which will— reassured by that point? if you have got something which will reassure i got something which will reassure the markets, and i've no doubt that a rowing back on some of these tax commitments would do that,

particularly the corporation tax commitment because that is £80 billion of tax cuts right there, anything that does that —— 18 billion, anything that does that is a good thing and you want to do it as soon as possible. so why wait another 18 days for the announcement that the chancellor is going to make at the end of the month, if you are going to do this, it's better to get out there straightaway. you going to do this, it's better to get out there straightaway.— out there straightaway. you are talkin: out there straightaway. you are talking about _ out there straightaway. you are talking about a _ out there straightaway. you are talking about a fundamental - out there straightaway. you are i talking about a fundamental reset, rowing back on key policies. should the chance to _ rowing back on key policies. should the chance to go _ rowing back on key policies. should the chance to go in _ rowing back on key policies. should the chance to go in your— rowing back on key policies. should the chance to go in your opinion? i the chance to go in your opinion? no, i think you are talking about a fundamental reset, rowing back on key policies. should the chancellor go in your opinion? no, i think he needs to be given space. the last thing we need at this moment is even more turbulence with a change of personnel. what we need to do as a parliamentary party take a deep breath, stay calm, and allow the chancellor and the prime minister to have a look at this, make the announcement they are going to make, give them the opportunity to come forward with this obr forecast at the end of the month. they have got to get all of those things right, and there is the chance that they get them wrong. but if they can get them right and reset the markets,

then i think there is an opportunity to create a platform on which we can build going forward. but times are very tough and the risks are very high. very tough and the risks are very hiuh. �* ., high. and in the meantime, huge auestions high. and in the meantime, huge questions about _ high. and in the meantime, huge questions about credibility. - high. and in the meantime, hugel questions about credibility. kwasi kwarteng hasn't exactly held up his hands and held himself culpable, has he, for what has happened in markets since the budget. to he, for what has happened in markets since the budget.— since the budget. to be fair, he has acce ted since the budget. to be fair, he has accepted that _ since the budget. to be fair, he has accepted that there _ since the budget. to be fair, he has accepted that there is _ since the budget. to be fair, he has accepted that there is a _ since the budget. to be fair, he has accepted that there is a component | accepted that there is a component within the things here which are unique to the uk, it isn't global, and it has been caused by the government's approach to economic policy. ”5 government's approach to economic oli . , ., , ., government's approach to economic oli ., ., ,., policy. is that 'ust one component or is it quite — policy. is thatjust one component or is it quite fundamental - policy. is thatjust one component or is it quite fundamental as - policy. is thatjust one component or is it quite fundamental as to i policy. is thatjust one component. or is it quite fundamental as to how the markets responded?— or is it quite fundamental as to how the markets responded? inflation is

by monday, to fundamentally reset the markets. we need to give them the markets. we need to give them the space until the end of the month so that this obr forecast and come forward. if we can settle the markets, the source of all of these problems is economics, that is what has happened. if that can be reset, thatis has happened. if that can be reset, that is a big step forward. at this precarious all difficult time with the markets, it would be a mistake to do other than give them the breathing space they need to do what they need to do. do breathing space they need to do what they need to de— they need to do. do you understand how this leeks _ they need to do. do you understand how this looks and _ they need to do. do you understand how this looks and sounds, - they need to do. do you understand how this looks and sounds, you - they need to do. do you understand how this looks and sounds, you as l they need to do. do you understandl how this looks and sounds, you as a member of the select committee representing the treasury on the one hand, are saying to the chancellor and the prime minister, you need to fundamentally reset, and we don't know whether they will or not. this know whether they will or not. as chair know whether they will or not. is chair of the select committee, mike role and the committee's role is clear, to hold the government to account. it is a cross—party committee, it is notjust conservative mps on there. and the way i have approached that is to be a constructive friend, i hope, but a criticalfriend a constructive friend, i hope, but a critical friend of the government. i do want them to succeed, and i have

tried in as positive a way as i can to move policy and the activities of governance into as positive as space as possible and that is what i will continue to do. if as possible and that is what i will continue to do.— continue to do. if you have not heard anything _ continue to do. if you have not heard anything from _ continue to do. if you have not heard anything from the - continue to do. if you have not - heard anything from the chancellor in terms of a u—turn by monday morning, what do you expect will happen then? i morning, what do you expect will happen then?— morning, what do you expect will happen then? morning, what do you expect will ha en then? ~ , .,, ., happen then? i think the problem now is that the idea _ happen then? i think the problem now is that the idea that _ happen then? i think the problem now is that the idea that the _ happen then? i think the problem now is that the idea that the chancellor - is that the idea that the chancellor is that the idea that the chancellor is going to come forward with something fairly significant, a significant row back, is now priced into the markets. we have seen a slight stabilisation around gilt yields and the pound. i suspect a lot of that is because there is now a market expectation that something is going to happen. the problem therefore becomes if it doesn't happen, then the markets may simply take an adverse, have an adverse reaction to that. it's a strong downside to not doing anything, as well as a strong upside to doing something. so my advice to the chancellor would firmly be, do it, do it now, make sure it is something

significant, notjust nibbling at the edges but something which is going to be firm, bold and convincing, but do it as soon as possible. convincing, but do it as soon as ossible. ., ., r' convincing, but do it as soon as ossible. . ., ,., .,, convincing, but do it as soon as ossible. . ., ., possible. can i ask you as a conservative _ possible. can i ask you as a conservative mp _ possible. can i ask you as a conservative mp how - possible. can i ask you as a conservative mp how you . possible. can i ask you as a . conservative mp how you think possible. can i ask you as a - conservative mp how you think this is playing out with constituents? there is global credibility, he has had to return from new york pretty early, there is credibility within the party, we heard from backbenchers yesterday, but there are also voters really worried about their mortgages which are up for renewal and not knowing what interest rates are, and when inflation is high, you will be losing votes.— inflation is high, you will be losing votes. inflation is high, you will be losin: votes. , ., ., ., losing votes. there is a huge amount of work that — losing votes. there is a huge amount of work that the _ losing votes. there is a huge amount of work that the conservative - losing votes. there is a huge amount of work that the conservative party i of work that the conservative party now needs to do to win back voters that have in the latest polls really moved away from the party. no party can be comfortable being as far behind in the polls as we are at the moment. but that's not the same thing as saying that we cannot reset. it's not the same thing as saying that we cannot make progress through time. we have two years into the general election. but we really need to be cracking on with it. as i

say, i'm hopeful that we will hear something significant fairly shortly. and i'm also hopeful that the chancellor will deliver the right plan alongside an obr forecast at the end of the month. we can reset on the economy, and then we have got an opportunity. the final thing i would say is i think the government needs to become more inclusive, cross the voluntary party. i think we need —— across the parliamentary party. we need to see more of those who were not initially supporters of the prime minister being brought into government, there is a lot of talent there. if you come together strong and powerful, we can start to restart a cheque for the parliament —— can start to restart the parliamentary party. thank you very much. if you met your superiors, wouldn't

still win their europa league group. arsenal remain top of their group, thanks to a 1—0 win, over bodo—glimt in norway. bukayo saka getting a deflection off his chest, for the only goal of the game. it means arsenal will be through to the knock out stages if they win next week after this victory at the most diffcult of places. well, really happy to win here against a team that has won the last 14 against a team that has won the last 1a games in european competitions in a row. 50 they deserve a lot of credit, there are not many european teams that have done that. so we have come here and won it. we have talked about this in the last few days, that was the challenge, in different conditions, in a different context, we can find our way to win. west ham are already through to the knockout stage of the europa conference league which is the next competition down. they made it four wins on the trot, thanks to a stunning free kick from said benrahma and then an even

better strike, from jarrod bowen. that means he's now equalled the club's european goal scoring record. even though anderlecht pulled a goal back. it finished 2—1 at the london stadium. but hearts were thrashed 5—1, by the italian side fiorentina. they now need to win their remaining two games and hope other results go their way, to have any chance of qualifying for the knock out stages. great britain are back on top of world track cycling. they struck gold on the second day of the track cycling world championships. the men's team pursuit team led by dan bigham beat the olympic champions italy, in the final bringing the world championship back to great britain for the first time in four years. the fans dubbed as the manchester mexicans have been partying into the night after seeing their team crowned champions for the first time in 29 years. i'm talking about speedway, and the belle vue aces, who clinched the british premiership grand final thanks to an away victory at the sheffield tigers. and the riders joined the travelling fans in the mexican

themed celebrations. the sombreros were out in force, they have become a bit of a tradition for the club, and began, as a bit of a joke, about the manchester weather. my my legends were alan partridge, steve coogan, and also kevin sinfield. the rugby league world cup gets under way tomorrow, as the england men's side take on samoa. former leeds rhino's player rob burrow will also be on the pitch at st james' park in newcastle, to kick—off the tournament. adam wild is on the city's tyne bridge this morning with some rugby league legends and fans. he is by the bridge, not on the bridge! look at the scene, beautiful skies behind you, on the eve of the biggest and most inclusive rugby league world cup ever, i can't imagine the excitement already. absolutely, welcome to what is for the next day or two the real centre of the rugby league world. a sense of the rugby league world. a sense of anticipation building for the start of the rugby league world cup tomorrow. i say the world cup, i

wales, and england, showery and mcleod are out. it will brighten up in parts of england compared to this morning, further patchy rain in east anglia and south—east of the mr and foggy start. sunny spells in other places, one or two showers. according to the north even with the sunshine, further south 18 degrees. —— is a cool day in the north. after initial showers, there will be more later, have yet with some frequent gusty winds into tomorrow morning. and a bit of thrust in north—east scotland. —— a bit of frost. last night was an evening of glitz and glamour as stars gathered on the red carpet for the 21st national television awards. the event took place a month later than planned, due to the death of the queen. ant and dec were once again named best presenters and there was even a royal approval for emmerdale's 50th birthday.

sophie van brugen has the story of the night. we are live from the ovo arena wembley. known as the oscars of the small screen, the stars were out to celebrate the best of british television. the winner is... ..emmerdale! it was emmerdale's night. not only are they celebrating 50 years of the show, they won the two big awards of the night — best serial drama and best performance — and received a special message from the king. i am delighted to help celebrate the 50th anniversary of emmerdale, and i'm afraid i'm so old i can remember when it was called emmerdale farm. when he appeared everyone kind of went, "are we awake? is this happening? " and so it wasjust like, "oh!" what a thing. # happy birthday to you...# personal stories were also big winners last night,

as voters connected with the emotionaljourneys of very familiar faces. kate garraway�*s insight into caring for her husband derek struck a chord with many. because this one is about caring, and because i think it's an area that doesn't really get enough celebration of how important it is. the national television awards celebrates the very best of the small screen. and for the stars themselves on the red carpet, the fact that they're voted for by the public makes them all the more special. ant and dec won best presenter for the 21st time. they missed the ceremony, however, because they've got covid, so friend stephen mulhern collected it on their behalf. philip schofield and holly willoughby appeared relieved as this morning retained its title as best daytime show, following controversy over accusations the hosts jumped the queue for the queen lying in state. this means so much to us every year, especially this year.

sir lenny henry received a standing ovation as he received the special recognition award. i was allowed to play in this industry and everybody saw me on prime time tv year after year. that helped break down barriers and allowed other people of colour to do the same. and as the broadcasting landscape continues to change, one thing remains constant. there's nothing quite like sitting down to enjoy your favourite tv show. sophie van brugen, bbc news. we're joined now by tv critic scott bryan. good critic scott bryan. morning. good morning! lots to get good morning. good morning! lots to get through — good morning. good morning! lots to get through we _ good morning. good morning! lots to get through. we discussed, _ good morning. good morning! lots to get through. we discussed, ant i good morning. good morning! lots to get through. we discussed, ant and i get through. we discussed, ant and dec, 21 years of being the best presenting duo, that is incredible. it really is, and it makes you wonder where on earth can they have space to put their 21st award! ientirely space to put their 21st award! when is it mine and _ space to put their 21st award! when is it mine and charlie's _ space to put their 21st award! when is it mine and charlie's turn? i

more u—turns on tax cuts are under discussion as government faces mounting pressure after weeks of financial turmoil. in the last half an hour, royal mail have announced job cuts of up to 6,000 by next august, as they cope with full—year losses expected to hit £350 million. a warning vulnerable people are being left without the support they need, because high fuel costs are forcing care workers out of theirjobs. the village football team aiming to make fa cup history. i've been to meet the amateur players of anstey nomads ahead of their head of their historic fourth qualifying round tie this weekend. and it's all aboard here at king's cross station in london to say happy birthday to the most famous steam locomotive in the world, the flying scotsman. celebrating its centenary,

100 years on our british railways. and as we go steaming into the weekend, we are on track to see a mixture of sunshine and showers. some of the driest weather will be on sunday, at least for a while. details coming up. good morning. it's friday, the 14th october. our main story. the chancellor, kwasi kwarteng, has cut short his visit to the us, to hold urgent talks with the prime minister, as pressure mounts on the government over its mini—budget. liz truss is facing calls to reverse her tax—cutting plans, in a bid to reassure both the financial markets and her own party. frances read reports. it was a late departure from the us for the chancellor last night, as he headed to the airport, returning home for talks with the prime minister over the government's controversial mini—budget. kwasi kwarteng had been in washington dc for a meeting of global

finance ministers. speaking before it was known he would be returning early, he insisted he was sticking to his plans. our position hasn't changed. i will come up with the medium term fiscal plan on the 31st of october, as i said earlier in the week, and there will be more detail then. and you will be chancellor and liz truss will be prime minister this time next month? absolutely 100%. i'm not going anywhere. behind closed doors in downing street, everything is back on the table. billions of pounds of borrowing to fund tax cuts and energy bill support were announced only weeks ago. some of it is now in doubt as the government scramble to get the markets and their own mps back onside. here in westminster, the mood among tory mps is one of anger. many privately want measures in the budget changed. some want liz truss and the chancellor to be replaced completely, while others believe

they should be given the chance to rectify the situation. the prime minister and the chancellor have to get a grip on this. there have been mistakes. they have got to work this out to settle the markets, to settle at the economy, and to get things back up and running again. but no one is treating this trivially. this is the most serious thing facing our country right now and we've got to respond and deal with it right now. as it stands, the chancellor will speu as it stands, the chancellor will spell out how he will play —— pay for the government's package of tax cuts on october 31. many don't think it can wait until the end of the month. a u—turn on at least some aspects of the budget now seems inevitable. frances read, bbc news. as news emerged that the chancellor is returning to the uk early, our economics editor faisal islam has sent us this report from washington. the chancellor of the exchequer, kwasi kwarteng, has notjust left the british ambassador's residence here in washington, dc, he has left of the entirety of the international monetary fund's annual meetings and gone home a day early, flying back

to london unexpectedly. why? _ because his team say he wants to consult with senior members of government, basically the prime minister and his fellow mps, about that mini—budget, the mini—budget that isn'tjust going down badly in his own party, it's also gone down badly in the financial markets. in fact, they are now convinced there's going to be a major u—turn, that a big swathe of that mini—budget will never see the light of day. that is now what kwasi kwarteng has to establish, has to sort out, and quickly. why? _ because the bank of england, which was helping support with emergency funding those markets of government borrowing, that funding is being pulled at the end of the day. so really, they have a weekend to sort out what they are going to do. are they going to u—turn? how much are they going to u—turn on? or are they going to face the markets next week? these are very big stakes,

a dramatic return to london for the chancellor of the exchequer. our political correspondent, iain watson, is in westminster for us this morning. a lot of those questions faisal was asking are out there this morning. what we do know is the chancellor will arrive back in the uk mid morning, and then, we assume, go straight into meetings with the prime minister?— straight into meetings with the prime minister? yes, he should arrive at about _ prime minister? yes, he should arrive at about 11 _ prime minister? yes, he should arrive at about 11 o'clock - prime minister? yes, he should arrive at about 11 o'clock this i arrive at about 11 o'clock this morning _ arrive at about 11 o'clock this morning. liz truss will certainly be talking _ morning. liz truss will certainly be talking to — morning. liz truss will certainly be talking to him, although downing street— talking to him, although downing street would not tell us exactly when _ street would not tell us exactly when or— street would not tell us exactly when or whether it is going to be face—to—face, which may of course also ramp— face—to—face, which may of course also ramp up— face—to—face, which may of course also ramp up the speculation that the government is in a panic. but certainly— the government is in a panic. but certainly those discussions have to be certainly those discussions have to he had _ certainly those discussions have to be had. what was interesting was this morning on this programme the chair of— this morning on this programme the chair of the — this morning on this programme the chair of the treasury committee in the commons, the cross—party group scrutinising _ the commons, the cross—party group scrutinising what the party gets up to, the _ scrutinising what the party gets up

our reporter alice cuddy has been to meet one woman whose care support was unexpectedly withdrawn. "morning. i'm really sorry. i thought the social workers had been in touch to let you know that our care package with you ended last night. sadly, i don't have any clients in your area, and staff are complaining about fuel costs." natalie has been living without professional care support for over five months. so it's really, really frustrating. we've been constantly on the phone to social services saying, "what's going on? "can we have some help, please?" complications in pregnancy have left her unable to walk, and with a range of health conditions. her husband jason now has to care for her, as well as looking after their young son. idid it!

i feel like i'm trapped in this little hole. i have to rely on my husband to do everything for me. and that's not what i wanted for the kids. this fuel price hike, it needs to be sorted. natalie is not the only person whose care has been affected by high fuel prices. the shortage of home care workers is adversely affecting everybody that needs help. the high fuel costs are just making that situation even worse. it's really sad to hear natalie's story, and we're really sorry that she has experienced that and herfamily. care workers, they go to work because they want to improve lives. they love what they do. they want to make a difference. and it breaks their hearts not to be able to. people need care. it's so important. natalie's former care agency said

it was mortified by her situation. shropshire council said they're experiencing a shortage of carers, and the increased cost of living, including fuel prices, adds to this very challenging position. they added... "we continue to work with care providers and clients to meet needs during these difficult times." since filming, natalie's case has been reassessed, and she has been told that her care should soon resume. but she worries about those still waiting for support. i have a family, but there are a lot of people that don't have families. their carers are the only people that they see that day. love you. alice cuddy, bbc news. we should send our thanks to natalie and herfamily for sharing we should send our thanks to natalie and her family for sharing that story. it brings home the problems people are facing on a daily basis. we are hearing so many of those

today as in any time during its century—long history. the flying scotsman. she broke records and set pulses racing. the first to break the 100 mile per hour barrier in 1934 and to make the 400 mile journey from london to edinburgh without stopping. her speed saw her credited with delaying the inevitable takeover by diesel locomotives that was coming down the tracks. the flying scotsman, britain's best known express, gives passengers a sight they haven't seen since 1941. restaurant cars and railway kitchens are back again. and as britain adapted to post—war life, it was the scotsman chosen to highlight the return of on—board kitchens. welcomed by passengers, as this wholly unscripted exchange shows. have you enjoyed your lunch, sir? i've enjoyed it very

much indeed, thank you. it's a very pleasant change after about, what is it, four years of sandwiches. she was taken around the world to showcase british engineering at its best, but often the business of running the scotsman ran into the buffers. her ownership changed hands several times. an extensive ten year restoration, costing more than £4 million, was completed six years ago by the national railway museum to give the engine a new lease of life. these days, she tours the country's rail tracks, much to the delight of those who turn out in their droves to see her, if only for a few fleeting moments as the scotsman flies by. we have still got crowds turning out this morning to see her at king's cross _ this morning to see her at king's

a train driver. she is the only one the teacher says, you can't do that because you are a girl. she is really fed up because that is what she wants to do. the story is about how this little girl grows up and steals away on the flying scotsman. she eventually does manage to drive it. what is wonderful is that all these years later of this young lady is a proper train driver. and what's really important about that is how things changed in the world and in my lifetime, the last 100 years or so. women didn't do work like that way, way back. and what has happened is we have had a huge revolution. i suppose the range of work that women do... why did it happen? also is a reason. the process going way back. those extraordinary people who stood up those extraordinary people who stood up for women's rights. plus, plus, plus the second world war. men weren't there, they couldn't drive

the trains, they couldn't do this and women had a role. and my goodness, they fulfilled the role magnificently. and they knew it, the country knew it, so when the war ended, there was no way they were going to go back into the kitchen and was up. there were other things in life you could do as well as that. and that is what has happened. it has been one of the major revelations of our lifetime. quite ri . ht, revelations of our lifetime. quite right. too. _ revelations of our lifetime. quite right, too. stacey _ revelations of our lifetime. quite right, too. stacey committed i revelations of our lifetime. quite right, too. stacey committed people tell you _ right, too. stacey committed people tell you you couldn't become an engineer— tell you you couldn't become an engineer in the royal air force? you couldn't drive _ engineer in the royal air force? you couldn't drive a _ engineer in the royal air force? you couldn't drive a train? no but i don't _ couldn't drive a train? no but i don't think— couldn't drive a train? no but i don't think females _ couldn't drive a train? no but i don't think females are - couldn't drive a train? no but i- don't think females are encouraged as much— don't think females are encouraged as much to — don't think females are encouraged as much to take _ don't think females are encouraged as much to take on _ don't think females are encouraged as much to take on those _ don't think females are encouraged as much to take on those roles. i don't think females are encouraged i as much to take on those roles. over the last— as much to take on those roles. over the last ten. — as much to take on those roles. over the last ten. 20 — as much to take on those roles. over the last ten, 20 years, _ as much to take on those roles. over the last ten, 20 years, there - as much to take on those roles. over the last ten, 20 years, there has- the last ten, 20 years, there has been _ the last ten, 20 years, there has been a _ the last ten, 20 years, there has been a real— the last ten, 20 years, there has been a real shift _ the last ten, 20 years, there has been a real shift in _ the last ten, 20 years, there has been a real shift in mentality- the last ten, 20 years, there has been a real shift in mentality toi been a real shift in mentality to encourage _ been a real shift in mentality to encourage females. _ been a real shift in mentality to encourage females. i— been a real shift in mentality to encourage females. i strongly. encourage females. i strongly advocate _ encourage females. i strongly advocate any _ encourage females. i strongly advocate any girl— encourage females. i strongly advocate any girl that - encourage females. i strongly advocate any girl that wants i encourage females. i stronglyl advocate any girl that wants to encourage females. i strongly- advocate any girl that wants to do it, advocate any girl that wants to do it. to _ advocate any girl that wants to do it. to do _ advocate any girl that wants to do it. to do it. — advocate any girl that wants to do it, to do it, basically. _ advocate any girl that wants to do it, to do it, basically. fiery- advocate any girl that wants to do it, to do it, basically.— it, to do it, basically. very well said. michael, _ it, to do it, basically. very well said. michael, why— it, to do it, basically. very well said. michael, why do - it, to do it, basically. very well said. michael, why do you i it, to do it, basically. very well| said. michael, why do you think it, to do it, basically. very well. said. michael, why do you think is the flying — said. michael, why do you think is the flying scotsman...? i don't think— the flying scotsman...? i don't think i— the flying scotsman...? i don't think i have _ the flying scotsman...? i don't think i have used the iconic word once _ think i have used the iconic word once this — think i have used the iconic word once this morning. why do you think

of the thames this year. more than 100,000 people will be able to line the river to watch the fireworks for the first time in three years. tickets go on sale this friday, so grab them while you can meet sherika sherard. she's a regular busker around waterloo and the southbank. she wa spotted by a director and is now going to star in a film that's going to be released next month. when i got home after busking, i got an e—mailfrom a director saying, "hey, i saw you busking and i think you'd be great in a film that i'm currently working on." even though it was scary being an actor, i think it's an opportunity that not a lot of people get, you know, to get a funded film and be the play lead in it, and to showcase your songs so, yeah, it was amazing. let's take a look at how the tubes are running this morning.

there are minor delays on the waterloo & city line. now the weather with kat. hello there, good morning to you. we may see some glimmers of brightness out there this morning. there will be plenty of cloud through much of the day, and we are expecting a bit of patchy rain to move in late on this afternoon. it's all due to these waving weather fronts in the south, tracking eastward through the day, and those winds will pick up ever so slightly. any low cloud, mist or fog this morning will lift, the morning and particularly through the afternoon, plenty of cloud will build with some patchy rain moving through. but towards the end of the afternoon, rain and cloud will edge eastwards so i think for many we will end the day on a bright note with some sunshine, with a maximum temperature today at around 18 celsius. through this evening, that cloud and rain continue to check eastwards. so it will be dry for a time with some lengthy clear spells. towards the end of the night, more cloud will build, bringing in a few sharp showers. still relatively mild tonight. we are looking at lows of around nine or ten degrees. so not particularly cold into our saturday morning. there will be decent spells

of sunshine at times, those winds will freshen even further. so do expect it to be windy and there is a chance of a scattering of showers. that's it from me, more on our twitter including the full interview with sherika sherard. and you can contact us on there too if you have a story. i'm backjust after nine. see you then hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and nina warhurst. let's return to our main story now, and the chancellor kwasi kwarteng has cut short his visit to the us, to hold urgent talks with the prime minister as pressure mounts on the government over its mini budget. our political editor chris mason joins us now. he has cut short the visit, he is on his way home, what we expect to hear, and do you think we will hear anything significant by the end of the day or do we have to wait for

the day or do we have to wait for the weekend?— the day or do we have to wait for the weekend? they are all the key auestions the weekend? they are all the key questions and _ the weekend? they are all the key questions and it _ the weekend? they are all the key questions and it isn't _ the weekend? they are all the key questions and it isn't immediately| questions and it isn't immediately obvious what all of the key answers are. here is what we do know. the chancellor of the exchequer, at a time when the uk's international financial credibility is on the line, decided it is a better option to bail out of a meeting of the worlds financial institutions involving the world's finance ministers than it is to stay there. why? because doing a —— 3005 hundred miles away from him in washington, the prime minister was in downing street with their entire programme for government hovering above the shredder. they were in touch during the day, and he concluded it would be better if you hopped on a plane, he is mid—atlantic at the moment, due back in london in a couple of hours. what is inevitable, whenever it comes, you turn is coming. and probably a pretty spectacular one. and i also suspect that that planned

economic statement two weeks on monday, that the chancellor has been talking rather a lot about in the last couple of days, will happen sooner. h, ., last couple of days, will happen sooner. ., , ., ., sooner. good morning, chris. you are our line into — sooner. good morning, chris. you are our line into downing _ sooner. good morning, chris. you are our line into downing street, - sooner. good morning, chris. you are our line into downing street, that - our line into downing street, that is what we want from you this morning. 0ne is what we want from you this morning. one part of this is, what decisions they make about the u—turn, which you now say it is inevitable. the other part of that is whether those two players, the prime minister and a chancellor, can survive, can they make a u—turn and still survive the job given what they had said previously to the mini budget? i they had said previously to the mini buduet? , . , ., ., budget? i put that exact question to someone in — budget? i put that exact question to someone in downing _ budget? i put that exact question to someone in downing street - budget? i put that exact question to someone in downing street this - someone in downing street this morning it not least because there are open conversations going on amongst conservative mps about the future of liz truss and kwasi kwarteng. and they are asking questions, i had conservative mps yesterday speculating that kwasi kwarteng might not survive in the job through this weekend. he will

have picked up that. if i can pick that up, you can be sure that he had as well. so what are number 10 saying this morning? the question that we always ask of ministers in trouble, does the prime minister had a ball —— does the prime minister had full confidence in her chancellor, they said, yes, they are in lockstep, and he is doing a fantasticjob. and does she want him to stay in post in the coming months, the answer was yes. so the two of them publicly this morning are united, and there is a desire on the part of number 10 to keep the chancellor in post. his credibility covers above the shredder, as does hers. their programmable government does —— programme for government does —— programme for government does as well and there are some conservative mps who say their political future should be there as well. what the prime minister and chancellor have to try and do is come up with a response that convinces people that they get it,

and the tricky thing, charlie, is that the markets are already assuming that the u—turn is inevitable, and our pricing out into the calculations about the credibility of the uk, and its government. if the about turn isn't as big as they are anticipating it is likely to become at the danger that the government is that those markets still don't like what they hear. forthat markets still don't like what they hear. for that reason we can expect some pretty big, and it would not be a surprise if it came today.— a surprise if it came today. always aood to a surprise if it came today. always good to talk _ a surprise if it came today. always good to talk to _ a surprise if it came today. always good to talk to you, _ a surprise if it came today. always good to talk to you, thank- a surprise if it came today. always good to talk to you, thank you - a surprise if it came today. always good to talk to you, thank you sol good to talk to you, thank you so much, chris. good to talk to you, thank you so much. chris-— much, chris. chris is saying he would not _ much, chris. chris is saying he would not be _ much, chris. chris is saying he would not be surprised - much, chris. chris is saying he would not be surprised if- much, chris. chris is saying he would not be surprised if it - much, chris. chris is saying he l would not be surprised if it came today, the u—turn. we are expecting the chancellor to land in the uk at some point before iiam the chancellor to land in the uk at some point before 11am and we will be keeping an eye on developments. for the past few weeks, nationwide protests have gripped iran, after the death of a 22—year—old kurdish woman in police custody. mahsa amini had been detained for breaching islamic dress codes. women have been at the forefront of the defiant protests, often facing a violent response from the police. 0ur diplomatic correspondent

caroline hawley has this report. these are scenes that have stunned iranians and inspired people around the world. here, schoolgirls take off their headscarves. for a0 years, women have been made to wear them, whether they like it or not. but extraordinary acts of defiance are now taking place against a regime that's controlled what half the population wears, and how they all behave, for so long. and look at what these children are doing to portraits of iran's supreme leader. it's a month since a 22—year—old woman, mahsa amini, went on a fateful and fatal trip to the capital, tehran. she was stopped by iran's morality police, who were unhappy with the way she was wearing her hijab. witnesses say she was beaten before she ended up in a coma and died. this was herfuneral in her home town in the west of the country. her grieving family wrote on her

gravestone that she would live on and become a symbol, as she has. a symbol of women and men standing up to the repression of the iranian regime. the islamic republic was set up in 1979, when the shah of iran was overthrown. not long afterwards, women were made to wear the hijab, though some did challenge it. the shah pulled the door down by force. but these people are putting it up by force. the regime has successfully crushed all protest movements before now with brute force. but this time it faces a deeper challenge, as people from all walks of life say they want nothing less than an end to the islamic republic. azadeh moaveni has just returned from iran, where she witnessed some of the protests. i don't think there's ever been a generation under the islamic republic that's so different to the ruling authorities. they are fearless. they are plugged into the internet. they are sophisticated, they are worldly, they are educated,

and they are more secular and liberal in their lifestyle than probably any generation before them. so where do you think this will all go? it's hard to see things ever going back to how they were before. you know, the morality police, i think, will never be able to resume their patrols in iran. they're forever tainted by having killed a young, innocent girl. so i think we're just at a precipice moment, where sort of both sides are sort of staring each other down. it's really quite frightening. the 16—year—old, sarina esmailzadeh, has become a new face of the protests, killed by security forces, as was 16—year—old nika shah shakarami, their deaths are only fuelling iranians' fury. red paint on the hands of students in tehran this week. powerful commentary on a regime now

facing an unprecedented crisis of legitimacy. caroline hawley, bbc news. let's speak now to our chief international correspondent, lyse doucet. good morning. the thing that comes across, and i guess the things which has fundamentally touched so many people about this story internationally, is the simple reality of bravery and fearlessness of those young people, who are out there having these protests, but what happened next?— there having these protests, but what happened next? those are big auestions what happened next? those are big questions but _ what happened next? those are big questions but certainly _ what happened next? those are big questions but certainly these - what happened next? those are big questions but certainly these are i questions but certainly these are acts of courage, acts of defiance, acts of courage, acts of defiance, act that could end you up in prison and worse. simply as usual —— saw in the images, women taking off their compulsory head coverings, women banning the hijabs, women and men smashing as photographs of the supreme leader, ayatollah khomeini, this would have been unthinkable

months ago. these are truly unprecedented actions and they are taking place right across iran in all 31 provinces. this is a protest which has been sparked by the death of 22—year—old young women. it has been driven by a generation of young women under 25, but it is drawing in men and women, boys and girls, from across all minority and ethnic groups, and across all walks of life. this is truly a defining moment. some are hoping it will need to regime change, others said it will only lead to changes in the regime. and that could be a heartening, and that could be some effort to understand what is unfolding on the streets. —— that could be a hardening of their stance. so far the clerical forces are tracking down, accusing, as always, americans and what they call

zionist elements, provoking what they call riots.— they call riots. notwithstanding what ou they call riots. notwithstanding what you have _ they call riots. notwithstanding what you have said, _ they call riots. notwithstanding what you have said, are - they call riots. notwithstanding what you have said, are there l they call riots. notwithstanding i what you have said, are there any signs of any softening of the reaction from the ruling parties or leaders there?— reaction from the ruling parties or leaders there? there is no softness in this moment _ leaders there? there is no softness in this moment at _ leaders there? there is no softness in this moment at all. _ leaders there? there is no softness in this moment at all. not - leaders there? there is no softness in this moment at all. not in - leaders there? there is no softness in this moment at all. not in the i in this moment at all. not in the fierceness of the protest or the ferocity of the crackdown. the security forces have used tear gas and metal pellets, there is also evidence they have used light a fire. they have not called out the elite revolutionary guard, the islamic revolutionary guard, which is the backbone of the revolution. we have heard leading political and security officials, some saying publicly that they don't like this crackdown, some saying, we need to look again at this compulsory hijab. maybe it's time to change it. but for all of those voices, there is a red line, and that is the survival of the islamic republic. but the

rallying cry on the streets is, we don't want to see your faces any more. ~ ., don't want to see your faces any more. ~ . , . ., , ., , more. what difference, if any, does it make that — more. what difference, if any, does it make that the _ more. what difference, if any, does it make that the international - it make that the international community is watching, possibly more closely than they have for a long time, into change in iran? change in iran will come from inside iran. - time, into change in iran? change in iran will come from inside iran. the | iran will come from inside iran. the government wants us to believe that it is something which is manipulated, driven, financed from abroad. this is a very iranian moment, and so it will only be decided by iranianss. certainly in many capitals including london, they haveissued many capitals including london, they have issued a strongly worded condemnation is, they had slapped more sanctions on iran, including what are called the morality police who imposed these strict restrictions, both on women as well as men. that is as far as it goes. i think it is a moment to watch, most

of all, they are watching inside iran. ., ~ of all, they are watching inside iran. . ~ ,., of all, they are watching inside iran. ., ~' ,, , of all, they are watching inside iran. . ~ , . iran. thank you very much, least -- l se iran. thank you very much, least -- lyse doucet- _ here's matt with a look at this morning's weather. nothing more glorious than blue skies on an autumnal morning! yes, a lovely start this morning. this is in north wales, calm conditions, blue skies overhead. it'll later with some wetter weather and that will some what will be fairly few days including the weekend, but this weekend we will find it turns windier, particularly sunday afternoon and evening. we will start the girls develop. we have got a jet stream, keeping things fairly changeable. there is

some rain and drizzle in south—west england and southern counties, pushing eat. sharon west of scotland and northern ireland, and it will edge out into the isle of man and the far north—west of wales. some areas which start cloudy, the south—west and lincolnshire, this is where things will brighten up through the afternoon. cloudy in east anglia and southeast. and sunshine for scotland and northern ireland with fewer showers. present in the sunshine in the south when you get it, 18 degrees for hi. sao is coming thick and fast towards the end of the night —— showers coming thick and fast. before they arrive, across the north—east of scotland there could be some gusts around. a wet morning for many across scotland. clusters of showers elsewhere, fading but then building

again in the afternoon. a peak in the shower is in morning and mid afternoon onwards where the race will be picking —— breeze will be picking up. some places will avoid the showers and have a pleasant saturday. temperatures down on today, a fresh feel in the cloudier moment when the showers come through. ten to 17 degrees. low pressure is governing on sunday, it is away a little bit for sunday, so you get a gap between the showers. initially in northern and western scotland on sunday, fading through the day. most of you have a dry and bright start to sunday with some sunny spells. cloud will increase from the rest as you go through into the afternoon. many staying dry but across parts of ireland and the rest of wales, devon and cornwall and the channel islands, we will have wetter weather and gales to end the day. the winds are light to begin with, a chilly start, a touch of frost around, into the afternoon

temperatures a little higher than saturday but the winds will be picking up later. the wet weather will spread through most part on sunday night. enjoy your weekend, thatis sunday night. enjoy your weekend, that is how it is looking. you were just discussing, if there is a theme to the sport day. this was the goalkeeper at manchester united last night playing for the opposition, 0monia nicosia, his name is francis uzoho. he is a huge manchester united than so he was meeting all of his heroes at the theatre of dreams he had wanted to go to and kept his cool. we were talking about when you meet his heroes, i was talking about how my voice went really high when i met steve coogan. and you lost it when you met david beckham. he steve coogan. and you lost it when you met david beckham.— you met david beckham. he did so well, -- you met david beckham. he did so well. -- when _ you met david beckham. he did so well. -- when i — you met david beckham. he did so well, -- when i met _ you met david beckham. he did so well, -- when i met damon - you met david beckham. he did so well, -- when i met damon alban. you met david beckham. he did so l well, -- when i met damon alban. i well, —— when i met damon alban. i turned tojelly and well, —— when i met damon alban. i turned to jelly and i well, —— when i met damon alban. i turned tojelly and i made well, —— when i met damon alban. i turned to jelly and i made a fool of

myself. i told him about the first blair concept i had been i talked him through every leg of public transport up to the gate. he did a lot better. , , ., lot better. yes, he frustrated the team he loves. _ manchester uuited were frustrated by one of their own fans last night the trouble was francis uzoho, was in goalfor 0mmania nicosia and did everything he could to stop the team he loves, he helped the cypriots frustate the life out of old trafford in a display that could be life changing and even pushed away the praise coming his way from cristiano ronaldo. arsenal remain top of their group, thanks to a 1—0 win, bukayo saka getting a deflection off his chest, for the only goal of the game.

it means arsenal, will be through to the knock out stages, if they win next week, after this victory at the most diffcult of places. west ham are already through to the knockout stage of the europa conference league which is the next competition down. they made it four wins, on the trot, thanks to a stunning free kick from said benrahma, and then an even better strike, from jarrod bowen which means he's now equalled the club's european goal scoring record. but hearts were thrashed 5—1, by the italian side fiorentina. they now need to win their remaining two games for the knock out stages. great britain are back on top of world track cycling. they struck gold, on the second day, of the world championships

as the men's team pursuit team, led by dan bigham beat the olympic champions italy, in the final. the fans dubbed as the manchester mexicans have been partying into the night after seeing their team crowned champion for the first time in 29 years. in speedway, the drivers joined the fans decked out in mexican beer. it began as a joke about the manchester weather in 2005 and it is stronger today. getting dressed up, love that. the lowest ranked side left in the fa cup leicestershire aiming to become the first village side to make the first round proper. they are in the fourth qualifying round this weekend, up against former semi—finalists chesterfield, whose last fa cup game was against chelsea. i've been to anstey to find out more.

in the backwaters of rural leicestershire, the village football team on the verge of take—off. creating an fa cup story that is out of this world. three, two, one, and lift—off! because these days one of the big employers for village residents is the national space centre, just up the road, and their fa cup fever has sent them over the moon with excitement, especially if your daughter plays for the anstey nomadsjunior team. it's absolutely amazing, brilliant for anstey nomads and really good for the community as well. we're hoping that anstey nomads are going to reach for the stars. it's actually quite mind—blowing and hard to take in. you wouldn't think you're going to play for a team, which is, like, playing in better leagues. it is a small step in terms of this season's fa cup competition overall, but it's a giant leap for the anstey nomads as they step and explore the unknown.

it is believed that they're the smallest village club of their size to have got to the fourth qualifying round of the fa cup. one of the driving forces behind the club's success has been the manager, tony, who's also a director of a school which has been set up at the football club for youngsters with autism, adhd and other learning challenges. the classrooms and playground are next to the football team's changing rooms, just behind the pitch. we pay rent to the football club, which helps the football club massively at this level. it's manage management, the people that i seem to be good at, dealing with the kids, making them happy. and it's exactly the same. the boys train once, half the time they don't want to train twice a week at this level because they've gotjobs and lives. and, you know, ijust manage them and we're all in it together. everyone's equally important. and it's the same here, you know,

from the learning support to me being director, everybody�*s equal. it helps that tony has his central defender, lewis, and assistant coach, sam, also working at the school. and what could be better than bringing fa cup magic into the classroom? you can obviously use footballers. you can use them to build in teamwork games, to help the kids work together and make them realise if you work as a team, you can do a lot more with yourself in your life. it's absolutely unreal. i'm speechless to talk about it because i came from here, from when i was about five years of age, being a ball boy down here, getting paid a pound a pop to get the balls out the stinging nettles on the other side. despite the club's size, anstey do have a former premier league goalie and scottish cup winner in their ranks. conrad logan now runs a local academy and plays for the nomads forfree. it sort of takes you back to the beginning of the journey as well. so, you know, i come from a small town back in ireland, a little village, and, you know, here doing that now

after being 20 years in the professional game. so it's nice to come back to my roots, sort of thing. the young kidsjumping on the pitch after the game celebrating, slightly different to scottish cup when there was 20,000 on the pitch, but it was actually probably nearly as emotional as it was when i was playing. anstey�*s fa cup journey has already lasted longer than the reign of their most famous royal resident, ladyjane grey, who had this house here but was only queen of england for nine days back in 1553. all these centuries on, it's footballing history they're now learning about as this village is put back on the map once more. at the village ground they have built a tv tower because it is going to be on the bbc. coverage will be live on bbc iplayer and the bbc sport website and app from 12:20 on saturday in time for kick off at 12:30. what a great day? amazing, unprecedented. _ what a great day? amazing, unprecedented. i— what a great day? amazing,

unprecedented. i am - what a great day? amazing, unprecedented. i am off - what a great day? amazing, unprecedented. i am off to l what a great day? amazing, - unprecedented. i am off to newcastle because the rugby league world cup starting tomorrow, you are hearing from adam who is there already, if you will excuse me, i will be going. i will be there tomorrow morning from stjames's park ahead of england samoa. from st james's park ahead of england samoa.— from st james's park ahead of england samoa. from st james's park ahead of encland samoa. .,, , , england samoa. hopefully it will be another gorgeous _ england samoa. hopefully it will be another gorgeous day _ england samoa. hopefully it will be another gorgeous day tomorrow - england samoa. hopefully it will be another gorgeous day tomorrow forj another gorgeous day tomorrow for you. you're watching bbc breakfast.
