good morning. welcome to breakfast, with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. our headlines today: liz truss faces a backlash from conservative mps after sacking kwasi kwarteng as chancellor and scrapping a planned increase in corporation tax. but it is clear that part of our mini budget went further and faster than markets were expect thing, so the way jeremy hunt begins his first day as chancellor, the fourth in as many months. we'll speak to him live at 8:30am. good morning from st james�*s park newcastle, where the rugby league world cup kicks off this afternoon. hosts england take on another of the heavyweights,

samoa, in an opening clash of the titans. 0h, hello. sorry, no wish to be rude, but i'm in no fit state to entertain today. they will have to get past fluffy. remembering robbie coltrane. tributes are paid the the actor, who has died at the age of 72. good morning. it is a tale of two halves this weekend. it's a blustery, showery saturday, and then on sunday a slightly quieter story, before more wet weather starts to arrive in from the west. all the details coming up shortly. it's saturday 15 october. our top story: the prime minister is working to shore up her authority today after she announced a second major u—turn on her economic plans. some conservative mps are privately discussing ousting liz truss as leader after she sacked her chancellor, kwasi kwarteng, and reversed a key policy to scrap the planned rise in corporation tax.

our political correspondent helen catt reports on a turbulent day in westminster. the prime minister with her new chancellor, jeremy hunt. his job—to reassure the markets. hers, to reassure the markets. hers, to reassure her own mps. yesterday liz truss was forced into another u—turn on her mini budget. 50 truss was forced into another u-turn on her mini budget.— on her mini budget. so the way we are delivering _ on her mini budget. so the way we are delivering our— on her mini budget. so the way we are delivering our mission - on her mini budget. so the way we are delivering our mission right - on her mini budget. so the way we | are delivering our mission right now has to change. i have therefore decided to keep the increase in corporation tax that was planned by the previous government. this will raise £18 billion per year. the news conference — raise £18 billion per year. the news conference she _ raise £18 billion per year. the news conference she gave _ raise £18 billion per year. the news conference she gave was _ raise £18 billion per year. the news conference she gave was short. - raise £18 billion per year. the news| conference she gave was short. her performance failed to convince a number of her own mps.- performance failed to convince a number of her own mps. thank you very much. — number of her own mps. thank you very much, everybody. _ number of her own mps. thank you very much, everybody. earlier, - number of her own mps. thank you very much, everybody. earlier, shei very much, everybody. earlier, she had sex her— very much, everybody. earlier, she had sex her friend _ very much, everybody. earlier, she had sex her friend and _ very much, everybody. earlier, she had sex her friend and close - had sex her friend and close political ally kwasi kwarteng over the economic strategy which they had drawn up together and on which she campaigned. that has led some mps to

increasingly difficult for the prime minister. that's right. there are reports even this morning in the times that even herformer this morning in the times that even her former chancellor, this morning in the times that even herformer chancellor, kwasi kwarteng, is now one of those questioning how much longer she can necessarily stay on. i spoke to a number of conservative mps yesterday and there was one theme that came up, and this was this repeated phrase that, well, it's not the chancellor, it is her. these were her policies. this is the platform that she stood on, and she has done a u—turn on two of her big policies and it is the chancellor who has borne the brunt of that. in terms of what happens next, i think one thing to remember as well is that it wasn'tjust her tax cuts that she wasn'tjust her tax cuts that she was facing pressure over. there were pressure points in the conservative party over her plans to bring back fracking, over plans to bring back house building rules, over spending cuts. she is quite literally

fighting fires everywhere. the question is what to mps now do next? some think it would be absurd to try and oust her and have another leadership contest or some kind of coronation of a new leader. others, though, that i spoke to feel like, quite frankly, at the moment the absurd is better than the alternative. one ex— cabinet minister that i spoke to yesterday said to those saying that the electorate won't forgive us if we have a new leader, the electorate won't forgive us anyway. it's like being told by a doctor that you've got eight months to live for 12 months to live, you are going to die anyway. his thought was essentially that in this case the appropriate response would be to try and appoint a less toxic leader, lose by fewer seats in the next election and try and come back quicker. this isjust the level of despair that is really circulating among conservative mps right now, leading many to question whether some will lift cover next week and speak out publicly. the fact is that _ week and speak out publicly. the fact is that the _ week and speak out publicly. the fact is that the world will still

keep spinning and there is stuff to fix with the economy at this moment in time, and to get market confidence raised. what happens next? ~ ~ , , next? well, i think this is where the new chancellor _ next? well, i think this is where the new chancellor comes - next? well, i think this is where the new chancellor comes in. i next? well, i think this is where - the new chancellor comes in. jeremy hunt still needs to give a speech on 31 october where he will outline what the government's plans are to bring it down, to pay for these tax cuts that they have announced, and certainly the hope there will be to try and calm the market —— bring debt down. but he has inherited this growth plan from both his predecessor and also it was one that was conjured up by the prime minister. the challenge that he faces is, given that he certainly has indicated he doesn't want to introduce any further u—turns, how can he do that while making sure the markets and his own conservative mps are still on side?— are still on side? thank you very much. at 8:30am this morning we'll be joined by the newly appointed chancellor, jeremy hunt. detectives investigating the murder of 19—year—old leah croucher, who went missing in milton keynes

in 2019, have named a convicted sex offender who died three years ago as their main suspect. thames valley police say they believe neil maxwell, who killed himself two months after leah's disappearance, was involved in her death. phil mackie reports. leah croucher disappeared in february 2019. this was the last time she was seen alive, grainy cctv capturing her as she walked to work. police carried out a massive investigation at the time it made no progress until this week, when a tipoff brought them to this detached house. very quickly they found some of her personal belongings, and then the news her family feared of her personal belongings, and then the news herfamily feared — human remains. her mum, dad and sister visited the scene and left a note attached to flowers saying their darkest fears had come true. the lease now say they believe they know who was responsible for her

differently. they are now nearer to knowing what happened to their missing daughter. phil mackie, bbc news, milton keynes. tributes have been paid to the actor robbie coltrane, who has died aged 72. the scottish star played hagrid in the harry potter films but was also known for his work in comedy, two james bond movies and the acclaimed itv detective drama cracker. our arts correspondent david sillito has been looking back at his life. oh, hello. sorry, don't wish to be rude, but i'm in no fit state to entertain today. ain't no—one going to get past fluffy. hagrid in harry potter — big, gruff, fond of a drink, but blessed with a good heart. jk rowling said there was only one person who could play him — robbie coltrane. well, i knew that she wanted me to play hagrid in the film, and then i heard that she actually imagined me as hagrid. but, you know, women imagine me all the time, you know? laughs

in her tribute, jk rowling said: sorry, guvnor. apples and pears, tit—for—tat, i love london town. and it was comedy in the �*80s where he made his name. i went into the video shop yesterday, you know? among those he worked alongside, stephen fry, who said... come back here, dammit! and you could see it all in a drama like tutti frutti. don't get the stripey stuff, it stings my gums. and his best work — cracker. i think i owe you an explanation. think again. an apology. you owe me nothing. my life's a bit of a mess... i had a wonderful time, fitz.

the gifted but troubled criminal psychologist fitz. he won a bafta three years running for this clever, ha rd—drinking character. there are some questions so obvious that nobody ever bothers to ask them. there were a few parallels with his own carefully guarded private life. singing this is our only chance to go straight! the killer's not on the dole. you're not up and about at 7:30 if you're unemployed, right? i terminated my uninterrupted categorisation... robbie coltrane — fierce, clever, funny, vulnerable. it's what made him so compelling. a brilliant actor who will be sadly missed, i am sure. here's louise with a look at the weather. good morning. it is a rather mucky, misty kind of view. it is

good morning. it is a rather mucky, misty kind of view.— misty kind of view. it is not very nice wherever _ misty kind of view. it is not very nice wherever you _ misty kind of view. it is not very nice wherever you are. - misty kind of view. it is not very nice wherever you are. in - misty kind of view. it is not very nice wherever you are. in fact, i misty kind of view. it is not very i nice wherever you are. in fact, the best thing to do is to stay in bed and watch the telly for a couple of hours, because it will get a little bit better. but at the moment for some of us we have got quite misty conditions. this is east anglia and suffolk, as you can see, so a lot of cloud and support visibility here, but it is also quite wet and windy for others and generally low pressure not too far away today. there will be plenty of showers around as well for many of us. let's take a look at the rainfall, as well, over the last few hours. some of that has really been quite heavy, as you can see quite clearly, western scotland and northern ireland stop it is rattling through it quite a pace because of the strength of the wind, so we will start to see an improvement over the next two hours. this bulk of rain will start to drift its way into the far north of scotland around coffee time, which is now for me but is probably for most of you at around 10am or 11am, probably for most of you at around 10am or11am, and probably for most of you at around 10am or 11am, and that is away. plenty of showers piling in behind because of this strong south—westerly wind. most of the showers along west facing coast but some will start to push further

inland. generally winds 30 or mph and may be gale force gusts and expose coastal places. it will be cool in scotland, around ten to 1a degrees here. 17 celsius with fewer showers perhaps across parts of eastern england. as we go through the evening and overnight, most of those showers will start to drift their way steadily northwards, so we will see a slightly quieter story developing through the early hours of sunday morning. maybe those temperatures into single figures in several towns and cities. we started tomorrow a slightly different note. it will be some showers, the wind is gradually easing, so that means some of those showers lingering for a time, but a good deal of dry and even sunny weatherfor time, but a good deal of dry and even sunny weather for many of us into sunday. so perhaps sunday the better of the two days. it won't be long, though, before we start to see some cloud and eventually some rain pushing its way into northern ireland by the end of the day. so in terms of the feel of things, with a little more sunshine, with lighter winds, fewer showers, generally for

england and the 15 to 18 degrees. further north we are looking at ten to 12 celsius. that wet weather is more of an overnight feature, actually. in the early hours of monday morning we are going to see some wet and windy weather which has got to clear away from the far north on monday. an then we see a little ridge of high pressure building, so the beginning of the week will be slightly quieter, before the potential for some wet and windy weather a little bit later on in the week. back to you two.— weather a little bit later on in the week. back to you two. thank you very much- _ week. back to you two. thank you very much- see — week. back to you two. thank you very much. see you _ week. back to you two. thank you very much. see you a _ week. back to you two. thank you very much. see you a bit - week. back to you two. thank you very much. see you a bit later- week. back to you two. thank you very much. see you a bit later on. russian forces are continuing to lose ground in much of ukraine but they are making slow progress in their attempt to take the city of bakhmut, in the donbas region. the city, once home to more than 70,000 people, has been under constant artillery bombardment. our defence correspondent jonathan beale went to meet some of those who are still there, and the ukrainian troops who are resisting the russian advance. russian forces are inching ever closer to the city of bakhmut. the

looking for divine intervention. so is this russian soldier taking part in the assault. recent ukrainian drone footage shows the ferocity of the battle. other russians are still closing in. bakhmut is one of the few places where russia is on the advance. incremental small gains. and constant bombardment that you can hear all the time. they are trying desperately to change the narrative here, and the reality that most russian forces in ukraine are on the retreat. this is the image of russia's army, that ukraine wants to show the world. a graveyard of tanks, armourand show the world. a graveyard of tanks, armour and even aircraft destroyed in its advance further north. it even ukrainian commanders admit this war still hangs in the balance. with russia calling up more troops. translation: , , ., troops. translation: , ., translation: it depends on how many the will be

saying it's "50—50 whether she will make it to christmas." the i carries an image of the prime minister looking concerned during yesterday's press conference, which the article describes as "disastrous". the headline is "tory mps tell truss — it's over". and the sun focuses on the death of the actor robbie coltrane. the paper describes him as a "giant of our screens" alongside a picture of him as hagrid in the harry potter films. he has died at the age of 72. we will have more tributes this morning throughout the programme. a lot of people feel very fondly about those tv shows he was in, films. cracker. i had tv shows he was in, films. cracker. i had forgotten _ tv shows he was in, films. cracker. i had forgotten about _ tv shows he was in, films. cracker. i had forgotten about that. - tv shows he was in, films. cracker. i had forgotten about that. i - tv shows he was in, films. cracker. i had forgotten about that. i will. i had forgotten about that. i will have to find it and watch it. this is a nice little _ have to find it and watch it. this is a nice little thought. - have to find it and watch it. this is a nice little thought. a cafe owner in lancashire, in preston, there is a sign up, it says that

hello and a very warm welcome to what is the last ever film review on bbc news. i'mjane hill and with us, of course, for our final fling is mark kermode. hi, mark. hello. emily, inspired by the life of emily bronte. that makes me livid. and for the king crimson fans, in the court of the crimson king. quite a striking mix you got for us. it is, so let's start with halloween ends. please, please, please let this be over! so, a few years ago, david gordon green and jamie lee curtis did something interesting with the halloween franchise, they updated halloween

with added ptsd — hooray, something interesting! and then they spoilt it all by saying it is a trilogy, so then we had halloween kills, which is just back to the usual stuff, plod, plod, plod, plod, stabby, stabby, plod, plod. now, halloween ends which has a usual plodding stabby stuff, but with some added nietzschen about you look long into the abyss and the abyss looks back into you. and some nonsense about it takes a village to raise a child and maybe evil is being passed on. here's a clip! alison is not equipped for this relationship and i will not let her get hurt, so stay away. you started this! you brought me in, you invited me! but you're the one to blame. if i can't have her, no—one will. you want to help alison? let her live her life. she has me now. now, on the positive side, it's got an interesting

opening seven minutes. there is a bit at the beginning when i went, this is great, anything happened, i hadn't expected that, great, and then it's. .. oh, no, it's that film again. and remember, with the first halloween, good, very cheap movie, it was all to do with tension and suspense and building on that stuff and some genuinely scary moments. here — no tension, no suspense, no scary moments, no shocks, no surprises. compare this to, for example, smile, which is currently doing terrifically well at the box office, which is a kind of quiet, quiet, bang horror movie, but it does it well. this just feels like patience—testingly dull stuff. the only thing that's worth saying about it is it should never have been a trilogy. you got away with the 2018 thing, hurray. halloween ends, please, let this be the end of it. i never, never, never want to hear anything about michael myers ever again in my whole life. but you just know a few years on

and it will be halloween begins again, the curse lives on. i don't know how you make a horror film that's not scary. in fact, it's a horror film i could watch if it's not scary! all those times i have said to you, you should go and see a horrorfilm — don't, don't! stay away from this one. on a much more serious note... absolutely. all quiet on the western front, which is a new adaptation of the �*20s novel, which was the best picture winner in 1930, the adaptation of it. this is a netflix—backed german production, which is germany's entry for the 95th oscars. directed by edward berger. he said it's a physical, visceral, very modern film that's never been told for my country's perspective, never been made into a german language film. we now have the chance to make an anti—war film that will truly touch audiences. it is in cinemas now and on netflix on the 28th. i think it's worth seeing on the big screen because i think it is visually really, really impressive. it's not unlike 1917 — it puts you there in this absolute hellscape seen through the eyes of these incredibly young men.

and i think it's genuinely, properly harrowing. you watched it — what did you think? genuinely harrowing. i thought it was brilliantly made. it looks fantastic. it's stunning to look at. worth seeing... but it breaks you, it breaks you, as it should. we all know how many young men lost their lives in the first world war, but it again makes you think about the horrors, what they lived through. clearly, all be ptsd that they didn't even have a name for back then. it's not an easy watch. of course it's not an easy watch, but it's beautifully made. and nor should it be an easy watch, and i think that's the point. i think it's really well made, terrific score, incidentally. very, very powerful. and i think worth seeing on the big screen, but it will be on netflix on the 28th. i would agree with that. and great central performances, a new, as the main young soldier and he's terrific. i think the whole thing is really, really well done and the fact that they are using very modern techniques, applying them to an old story, but making it completely relevant, much in the same way that i think 1917 did. so, to emily, which is an imagined life of emily bronte,

the terrific central performance by emma mackey. the film begins with charlotte bronte saying to emily, "how did you write wuthering heights?" she is kind of shocked by it and then the film flashes back to speculate about where that came from. we see the young bronte sisters telling each other stories, we see brother branwell dazzling emily before going off the rails. we see the growing struggles between the sisters, and we see the arrival of a handsome new curate, who insists that he loves the rain, but not as much as the girls. here's a clip. giggling look, he does like the rain? he loves it! the sounds of it. the smell of it. from now on, we shall call him miss amelia. i'm a fool. no, you're not. let him rather be a fool do not live at all. - you're an embarrassment to us. do you know what they call you in the village? - stop it, charlotte. no! they call you the strange one. and you are _ mother would be ashamed i

to see who you've become. every time i come home, i see - more and more what you are becoming. i won't let you drag me down. iwon't! — i'm going to make i something of myself. charlotte... so, this is written and directed by frances o'connor, who of course is an actor—turned—director. making her directorial feature debut and i think she does a terrificjob of it. the first thing to say is, in much the same way as andrew dominik�*s blonde is not a biopic about marilyn munro, this is not a biopic about emily bronte. this is much more an imagined life, an attempt to put on screen the emotions and feelings of the writing, and to do it in an invented way that perhaps lets you into the real—life character. but it's not factual, it's not tied to factual detail. i thought it was great, partly because it's really vibrant, it's a really, really lively film. bio pics, particularly

about writers, can often be, "and then i sat down and wrote something by candlelight "and it was very hard...the end." what this does is it kind of take creative liberties. the performances are universally great, again, another very good score. you feel the landscape, you get a sense of what's inspiring her as a writer. but it's also, i'm delighted to say this — an element of horror in it! is there?! there is! in emily bronte? exactly. i know the correct way is we should say gothic, ok, but, no. gothic and horror are basically the same thing. and there is a sequence in it involving putting on a mask during a parlour game, which kind of then turns into a seance, which i think is one of the creepiest thing i've seen in a very long time. so, for the last time and going to say this to you — it's not a horrorfilm, and it genuinely isn't, but it has things in it that i thought were properly creepy in a way which i found really exciting. and i have to say,

i did not expect to like it anything like as much as i did. i thought it was really inventive. interesting. and i really, really enjoyed it and i think you'll like it too. and just a smidge of horror. iwill watch, i promise. really interesting choice you have for us as our last one. prog ahoy! this is a film which is in cinemas on wednesday 19, just one day and then one day streaming on saturday 22. in the court of the crimson king, a documentary about king crimson, who are the musicians musicians, the band that people look up to and worship and idolise. their fans, hardcore fans, literally feel like their lives have been changed by king crimson. 50th anniversary of the band, robert fripp, who is the kind of mainstay of the band, agreed to let toby amies, who made the man whose mind exploded make a documentary. i have to say that one of the things that comes across is that most of the members of the band, including robert fripp, have not found being in king crimson an easy experience. here's a clip. the overview of my personal involvement in king crimson is that it's been

incredibly unhappy. in a word, wretched, i would say, from 1969 until 2013. singing now, i don't know if you are a big king crimson fan. i'll tell you what i love about the documentary — on the one hand, it is about the pain of making art, it's like if you're going to take music this seriously, it's not a lot of laughs. but the documentary is funny, because toby amies is a very sharp filmmaker who understands how to put something together in a way that, even amidst great sadness and great darkness and huge amounts of conflict — i mean, huge amounts of conflict — i found the film really entertaining. i think that no matter what you think about king crimson, you could enjoy this documentary. what's interesting is that i'm

afraid i knew nothing about king crimson. i know an awful lot now. i was fascinated by some of it. it reminded me of whiplash. oh, that's interesting. because robert fripp is such a hard task master, clearly brilliant, but, you know, would you want him as your boss? and that reminded me of that whole theme in whiplash, where do you... he practices every day, but where does that cross over into just taking it too far, let the perfectionism, all of that. we saw him practising there and there is a moment in the documentary where he's had a really long day and he says, "i've got to go and do two hours practice now," and toby, the director, says, "can't you just give yourself the night off?" and he says, "you wouldn't ask an olympic athlete that." ok, that's right on one hand but on the other hand, just give yourself a night off! yes, just enjoy it! you will still be able to... i think what makes it work is that there is humour in there amidst all the angst and the torture and it does also accept the fact that they are remarkable musicians. yes, remarkable. and that is a really interesting choice, i think, on which to end. thank you. it has been an absolute

pleasure and a privilege. although i've sat here since 2018 and i still haven't got to the end of a horrorfilm, have i? well... i'm nothing but a disappointment to you, mark. no. well, what you've done, which i've been really impressed by, is that you've listened to my trying to sell horror movies to you and i think you've decided, "horror is not for me," which is perfectly fine. horror is definitely not for everyone but thank you for putting up with all the times i've tried to tell you... the amount of times i've said to you, "it's not a horror movie" when, honestly, it was. but it's been a real pleasure, i've really, really enjoyed our conversations. and if it's encouraged anybody to go and see something they wouldn't have i was trying to think of something profound to say at the end and i was thinking of, "here's looking at you, kid", but i think it's better to say this from lock, stock and two smoking barrels, "it's been emotional." mark, bless you, thank you very much indeed and thank you for watching and i hope you continue to enjoy your film going. bye—bye from both of us.

hat—trick against leeds, and another two last night. there will be a bit of boxing history tonight when claressa shields and savannah marshall headline the first ever all—female uk boxing card, with 11 bouts featuring 22 women. marshall and shields faced off for the final time ahead of their fight for the undisputed middleweight championship. shields hasn't lost a fight since losing to marshall ten years ago. back here in newcastle, one man will be front and centre as this world cup kicks off. rob burrow will be guest of honour as england play samoa. his story is one that we have followed very closely here on breakfast, and on tuesday a documentary goes out on bbc 2 following rob and his family as they adapt to life with his disease.

customers coming down here. plenty of food for thought therefore the new chancellor and he will have some opportunity i think to address some of those points when he speaks to you a little later this morning. yammer, thank you. we will talk to jeremy hunt at around 830 a.m. today. here is louise with a look at the weather. how is it looking? we literally have a bit of everything at the moment. things will quieten down as we weekend progresses. forsome will quieten down as we weekend progresses. for some of us we have missed and fog around, mostly affecting east anglia, but of these medicines and south—east england as well. forthe medicines and south—east england as well. for the rest of us it is all about this area of low pressure at the moment and you can see how tightly packed the isobars are so the winds will be a feature as well. there is some heavy rain and thunder and lightning mix in their as well. i said a bit of everything, i wasn't lying. this is the radar over the

last few hours. the wettest of the weather is in the west. around quarter of an inch of rain through the night across the lake district. this weather front will continue to push steadily north. it will clear quickly so around ten o'clock, 11 o'clock, just lingering across the northern isles and then as the lows it out here, driving around that low, strong winds putting in plenty of frequent showers. gusts of wind 30, a0 miles an hour across the country. not reaching too many sheltered eastern areas. temperatures around ten to 12 degrees in scotland and northern ireland, 17 in the south—east. that bodes well actually for the start of the rugby league world cup. newcastle, it is taking place. a few showers in the morning but hopefully the story will improve as we go into the story will improve as we go into the afternoon. now, generally through the evening, most of the showers will tend to fade away across england and wales and push

further north and sit in scotland. temperatures falling away down into single figures so it will be a cool start to sunday but it will certainly be a quieter day with a lot more in the way of sunshine around. england and wales dry and sunny start. some users showers in the far north of scotland, and by the far north of scotland, and by the end of the afternoon you can see the end of the afternoon you can see the cloud and rain gathering. gradually that will drift up through the irish sea and put into northern ireland by the end of the afternoon, maybe western friend of wales in south—west england as well. top temperatures on sunday of around ten to 18 degrees. it will quieten down into the beginning of next week. back to you two. time now for the latest edition of click.

today we are literally stepping into history. we are at alexandra palace and this place has seen it all. that's the studio in there. 2022 marks 100 years of the bbc. goodness me. what began with a single radio transmission has transformed into a global broadcaster. in that time, it's covered the biggest events of successive generations, working to inform, educate and entertain the nation. and throughout those hundred years, the bbc has been pushing the boundaries of broadcasting, embracing and sometimes even creating the latest technology. 100 years of broadcasting. it's amazing when you think of it. you don't look a day over 30. and this studio in alexandra palace has a very special place in bbc history.

in 1936, the bbc television service was launched right here on this spot. performers and orchestra would have been here. and a huge camera here! singing and what viewers saw was this. this is adele dixon performing with the bbc television orchestra. she is singing a song called television, which was written especially for the opening night of...television. it was broadcast to viewers across london and the home counties through the transmitter on alexandra palace, marking the beginning of what was then referred to as high—definition television. yeah, don't laugh. before that, television was just an odd fuzzy experiment small, selected audiences. and behind the scenes, there was a bit of a battle going on. see, the bbc had actually opened up two studios at alexandra palace.

this, studio b, was a mechanical system, which was made byjohn logie baird and it produced an image like this. meanwhile, in studio a, they were trialling an electrical system by emi, and what they would do as they'd alternate studios and systems on different days so they could compare the results, and it turned out that emi's images at 25 frames per second were double the quality of the baird system. it had other advantages too. the baird camera was enormous. the emi one was somewhat more portable. oh, and if you are filming with the baird system, you need quite a lot of makeup too. well, this is how it was, playmates. black and white, you see. and a bit of blue down each side of the nose. very sexy, yeah. the emi system, on the other hand, could capture a well lit studio perfectly fine, so the winner really wasn't hard to choose. under the lid of the emitron

was this — a cathode—ray tube, which is basically an old tv working in reverse, capturing the pictures instead of showing them. singing the emitron stayed in use without much change for many, many years. the coronation of king george vi was the first time the cameras were used outside and the broadcast was watched by about 50,000 viewers. however, it was the coronation of his daughter that really brought television into our homes. 70 years later, many millions of us watched the queen's funeral on smart tvs, phones, laptops, or on huge screens around the country, demonstrating just how far technology has moved on. now, if you are a fan of radio, i mean, really a fan of radio,

then you will know what this is. pips they are called the pips and when you hear them, you will know it is �*something o'clock�*. i find them quite soothing. but have you ever wondered why they exist? ships. the pips tell ships what time it is and help them navigate. at the height of the british empire, britain had a lot more ships than anyone else anywhere in the world, and their maps all needed to follow a strict format so they could figure out where they were. the centre of all british nautical charts was the greenwich meridian, 0 degrees, and each vessel also kept a fancy clock on board that told them local time at the meridian and helped them to calculate their position really precisely. but over long journeys, how could the captains keep those clocks accurate to the second? well, to bring in the new year in 1923, the bbc ran an experiment to broadcast the midnight bongs of big ben on the radio. it was a bonging success,

and the following year, the first fully accessible time signal, the greenwich time signal, started to be broadcast every hour, and it hasn't stopped since. the pips, as they were known, were generated by a swinging pendulum fitted with electrical contacts. so now you could have accurate greenwich mean time literally anywhere that you had a radio. the pips have become legendary, a symbol of bbc radio, and who better to tell us about them than another legend of bbc radio, tony blackburn. archive: welcome along i to the tony blackburn show this morning for this tuesday december 9. my thanks, as always tojohn dunn for swinging us up until the seven o'clock hour. the pips have always been a favourite of mine since 1967 when ijoined the bbc and opened up radio 1. archive: good morning, everyone.

welcome to the exciting new sound of radio 1. everybody else finds it a bit weird that i like them, but i do. i love them. on my programmes, i used to promote them, particularly as my favourite pip is always the last one because it is slightly extended. the original clock that kept the time still sits in the in the museum at the royal observatory. in the �*60s, though, an atomic clock started doing thejob, which stayed in use until the 19905 when it transmitted its last pips from the royal observatory. ever since then, the bbc has generated its own pips from its atomic clock buried deep inside broadcasting house, which uses gps signals to stay synchronised. so the next time you hear these, you know that they come from this. pips meanwhile, at manchester's science and industry museum, 100 years of the bbc is being celebrated with an exhibit featuring broadcast artefacts, plus a few more recent additions.

this funky looking box was a prototype which was an early part of the bbc�*s research and development project for storing your data yourself, so the idea was that the device would keep track of what you are listening to and what you were watching, but that data was just yours, unless you chose for it not to be. it was inspired by a new vision that sir tim berners—lee has for the web, to rethink the ownership of our data. back in 2018, he told us about what he calls a mid—course correction for the internet, an idea called solid. so, instead, imagine a world where before you use an app, it says to you, where do you want to store this data? all across the data spectrum, you have complete control over your private and personal data, which is very exciting, an exciting vision, i think for those people who get an inkling of what it's going to be like. right now, when we interact with companies over

the internet, often without even thinking about it, we give them our data — lots of it. every website, app or streaming platform gathers information on us, our name and age, what we like to share, ourfiles, photos, infact all of our online browsing habits. platforms use this data to create recommendations, improve algorithms, or sometimes just for the purpose of selling it. but tim berners—lee's idea turns this on its head, giving power back to the individual. with solid, as users travel across the internet, all their data is stored in something called a pod. this is an individual�*s databank in the cloud which only they, or those they give permission to, can see. so instead of the data freely flowing to companies when they want to access it, they have to ask for the user's permission. if this is approved

they can look into the pod to view or add information. with pods, because you're in control, you can share what you have watched or listened to on one platform with the others, something the companies would never want you to be doing, but it means that you could get more personalised recommendations. and if you want to stop using a service, you can cut off access to your data. or you could, even more dramatically, delete the pod, destroy all the data, and remove all trace of anything you have ever done on the internet. yes, it is a big endeavour, but its not— a ridiculously huge endeavour. what's exciting right now is just at the point when we should be broadcasting this, we now have also a start—up, inrupt. four years on, it is a reality with bbc r&d working with inrupt to bring it to life. charlie, you'ave invited me to a party, but it is no ordinary party. no, no, it's not. it's bbc together,

it's a watch party, but the particular difference here is that your personal data is being protected in a new way. watch parties allow friends to stream the same content at the same time, and they've exploded in the last few years. something like a third of under 30s actually had a watch party in the last 12 months, and it isjust really growing. so we have kind of built on the bbc's watch party and added the data pod element to it. as users log in, behind the scenes, the software creates a pod for each person. here we go. and when you stop watching, this bbc trial shows you what data has been collected. we couldn't do a watch party without storing some data about you. the difference here is we are storing that data away from us, in your pod that you control. solid is just one of many ideas aiming to help us own our data. others, even allowing us

to sell it, have failed to take off at scale — maybe the incentives haven't been right. but that could change. bbc r&d and tim berners—lee certainly think it might, and they have both been right before. so, there you have it — 100 years of the bbc in 11 minutes. if you'd like it in 23 minutes, the full—length version of this program is now available on iplayer. thanks for watching. good morning. welcome to breakfast, with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. our headlines today:

liz truss faces a backlash from conservative mps after sacking kwasi kwarteng as chancellor and scrapping a planned increase in corporation tax. but it is clear that parts of our mini—budget went further and faster than markets were expecting, so the way we are delivering our mission right now has to change. jeremy hunt begins his first day as chancellor, the fourth in as many months. we'll speak to him live at 8:30am. good morning from stjames's park, newcastle, where the rugby league world cup kicks off this afternoon. hosts england take on another of the heavyweights, samoa, in an opening clash of the titans. you're a wizard, harry. remembering robbie coltrane. rributes are paid to the actor, who has died at the age of 72.

good morning. it's a tale of two halves this weekend. it's a blustery, showery saturday, and then on sunday a slightly quieter story, before more wet weather starts to arrive in from the west. all the details coming up shortly. it is saturday 15 october. our top story: the prime minister is working to shore up her authority today after she announced a second major u—turn on her economic plans. some conservative mps are privately discussing ousting liz truss as leader after she sacked her chancellor, kwasi kwarteng, and reversed a key policy to scrap the planned rise in corporation tax. our political correspondent helen catt reports on a turbulent day in westminster. the prime minister with her new chancellor, jeremy hunt. his job to reassure the markets, hers, to reassure her own mps. yesterday liz truss was forced into another u—turn on her mini—budget.

so the way we are delivering our mission right now has to change. i have therefore decided to keep the increase in corporation tax that was planned by the previous government. this will raise £18 billion per year. the news conference she gave was short. her performance failed to convince a number of her own mps. thank you very much, everybody. hours earlier, she had sacked herfriend and close political ally kwasi kwarteng over the economic strategy which they had drawn up together and on which she campaigned. that has led some mps to question the credibility of ms truss staying on as prime minister. supporters say she should be given more time. all those colleagues of mine who never wanted liz truss in the first place, it's about time they thought about what they really wish for, because i was very sceptical when borisjohnson was kicked out. i said we'd rue the day. i hadn't expected to be proved correct so quickly,

but we cannot afford to lose another conservative prime minister. we must get behind liz truss, and people need to realise that. the former health and foreign secretary, jeremy hunt, was appointed as the fourth chancellor in four months. he starts work today on the economic plan which he will present on 31 october and which will be crucial to liz truss's future. but a number of tory mps are already talking about how much longer her premiership can last, less than a0 days after it began. our political correspondent ione wells is on downing street. if yesterday was about shoring things up and increasing confidence, what happened?— what happened? well, it is fair to sa it what happened? well, it is fair to say it didn't _ what happened? well, it is fair to say it didn't quite _ what happened? well, it is fair to say it didn't quite work _ what happened? well, it is fair to say it didn't quite work in - what happened? well, it is fair to say it didn't quite work in that i say it didn't quite work in that way. i spoke to a lot of tory mps yesterday after the press conference that liz truss gave and there was one theme in particular that really

came up, and that was the phrase it's notjust the chancellor, it's her. these were her policies, this is the platform she stood on. she has now you turned on some of those policies and the chancellor has had to bear the blame for that —— u—turned. so tory mps are not reassured by what they heard yesterday. remember, as well, that it wasn't just her tax yesterday. remember, as well, that it wasn'tjust her tax cuts that she was facing potential clashes over. there are mps and ongoing live rows over things like her plans to bring back fracking, to change housebuilding rules, possible spending cuts coming down the line. she is quite literally fighting fires everywhere and there are these pressure points all over the shop. the question is what do mps now do about it? there are some who feel that trying to oust her and install a new leader already would be absurd. however, there are some mps thinking at this stage the absurd is better than the alternative. i will

review one quote i have from a former cabinet minister yesterday who said it is a bit like being told by a doctor that you have eight months to live or 12 months to live. you are still going to die, and the appropriate treatment in this case would be to appoint a less toxic leader and lose future election by fewer seats. that is the level of desperation that some of these tory mps are feeling right now. certainly the thing that is keeping her safe at the moment is this lack of agreement about what they do next. and if they did replace her, who would be?— and if they did replace her, who would be? ., ,, i. , . . would be? thank you very much. we aet our would be? thank you very much. we get our first — would be? thank you very much. we get our first sight _ would be? thank you very much. we get our first sight of— would be? thank you very much. we get our first sight of the _ would be? thank you very much. we get our first sight of the new - get our first sight of the new chancellor this morning. at 8:30am this morning we will be joined by the newly appointed chancellor, jeremy hunt. the shadow foreign secretary, david lammy, joins us now from north london. good morning to you, david. thank you for talking to us this morning. what is your reaction to what has happened in the last 2a hours? weill. happened in the last 24 hours? well, this is a crisis _ happened in the last 24 hours? well, this is a crisis that _ happened in the last 24 hours? well, this is a crisis that was _ happened in the last 24 hours? well, this is a crisis that was made - happened in the last 24 hours? h this is a crisis that was made in number ten by liz truss and ordinary

people with their mortgages, with rising inflation, are paying for this crisis. it is unprecedented for a g7 nation to have a run on its currency, to have yields up, to have changes in fiscal policy overnight, to have had four chancellors of the ex— are in the last four months. i am afraid it is causing great damage. the institute for fiscal studies say there is a £62 billion black hole... studies say there is a £62 billion black hole. . .— black hole... apologies, david lamm , black hole... apologies, david lammy. the — black hole... apologies, david lammy, the shadow _ black hole... apologies, david lammy, the shadow foreign i black hole... apologies, david - lammy, the shadow foreign secretary, having some issues with his connection. we will give that a few seconds to see if we can re—establish. shall we have a look? no, he is not there. if we can, we will bring him back and get his thoughts on what has been happening. later in the programme we will be talking to the chancellor, jeremy

hunt, at 8:30am. we will get the view from labour if we can re—establish that line. detectives investigating the murder of 19—year—old leah croucher, who went missing in milton keynes in 2019, have named a convicted sex offender who died three years ago as their main suspect. thames valley police say they believe neil maxwell, who killed himself two months after leah's disappearance, was involved in her death. phil mackie reports. leah croucher disappeared in february 2019. this was the last time she was seen alive, grainy cctv capturing her as she walked to work. police carried out a massive investigation at the time. it made no progress until this week, when a tipoff brought them to this detached house. very quickly they found some of her personal belongings, and then the news herfamily

feared — human remains. police carried out a massive investigation at the time but made no progress until this week, when a tipoff brought them to this detached house. nobody lived here at the time. they literally flip through the door instead. as police have since explained, they had nothing to link them or either of them to this house until this week. in a statement, the

family thanked the police and said they believed it couldn't have done anything differently. they are now nearer to knowing what happened to their missing daughter. phil mackie, bbc news, milton keynes. apologies for the connection issues. thank you for staying with us. you are giving your reaction. you had gone through the market reaction in terms of the mini budget. your reaction to the what liz truss has done to stabilise the ship. l reaction to the what liz truss has done to stabilise the ship.- done to stabilise the ship. i don't think she has _ done to stabilise the ship. i don't think she has stabilised - done to stabilise the ship. i don't think she has stabilised the i think she has stabilised the ship because everyone knows that this was her mini budget. she ran for months on cutting taxes for the wealthiest in our country, everybody warned her against it, but she ploughed on. so of course, when people are looking for credibility, when they are looking for stability, they don't get that from liz truss. we can't

continue to play pass the parcel with who is running the conservative party as a consequence our country, clearly what we now need is to do the right thing in the liz truss to call a general election so that we can get certainty.— can get certainty. what liz truss has said is _ can get certainty. what liz truss has said is that _ can get certainty. what liz truss has said is that she _ can get certainty. what liz truss has said is that she recognises l can get certainty. what liz truss i has said is that she recognises that the mini budget went further than the mini budget went further than the market expected. she has acknowledged the disarray in the market, and she has brought in a new chancellor. she has reversed that corporation tax cut or she has reinstated that. so she has said she has listened and she is changing, so she is doing but perhaps the markets were keen to see in the first place. the institute for fiscal studies says there is a $62 billion black hole. she hasn't changed her view of the dividend cut and the cost to

services buying luxury goods. i am afraid this is a prime minister in absolute chaos. no—one feels reassured by this prime minister, and that is way beyond those who might want to vote for my party. 50 might want to vote for my party. so you don't have any faith injeremy hunt coming in and setting the ship? jeremy hunt was calling for even deeper unfunded tax cuts, cut in 15% in tax cuts that will cost the taxpayer $3a billion in borrowing. it is not serious for a g7 country, it is not serious for a country that

has a position on the un security council. iam afraid i am afraid i have never seen a country of our seriousness in the world economy in such disarray. it is just unthinkable. world economy in such disarray. it isjust unthinkable.— isjust unthinkable. david, thank ou ve isjust unthinkable. david, thank you very much — isjust unthinkable. david, thank you very much for _ isjust unthinkable. david, thank you very much for your- isjust unthinkable. david, thank you very much for your time i isjust unthinkable. david, thank| you very much for your time with isjust unthinkable. david, thank. you very much for your time with us this morning. you very much for your time with us this morning-— tributes have been paid to the actor robbie coltrane, who has died aged 72. the scottish star played hagrid in the harry potter films, but was also known for his work in comedy, two james bond movies and the acclaimed itv detective drama cracker. our arts correspondent david sillito has been looking back at his life. oh, hello. sorry, don't wish to be rude, but i'm in no fit state to entertain today. ain't no—one going to get past fluffy. hagrid in harry potter — big, gruff, fond of a drink, but blessed with a good heart. jk rowling said there was only one person who could play him — robbie coltrane. well, i knew that she wanted me to play hagrid in the film,

and then i heard that she actually imagined me as hagrid. but, you know, women imagine me all the time, you know? laughs in her tribute, jk rowling said: sorry, guvnor. apples and pears, tit—for—tat, i love london town. and it was comedy in the �*80s where he made his name. i went into the video shop yesterday, you know? among those he worked alongside, stephen fry, who said: come back here, dammit! and you could see it all in a drama like tutti frutti. don't get the stripy stuff, it stings my gums. and his best work — cracker. i think i owe you an explanation. think again.

an apology. you owe me nothing. my life's a bit of a mess... i had a wonderful time, fitz. the gifted but troubled criminal psychologist fitz. he won a bafta three years running for this clever, ha rd—drinking character. there are some questions so obvious that nobody ever bothers to ask them. there were a few parallels with his own carefully guarded private life. singing this is our only chance to go straight! the killer's not on the dole. you're not up and about at 7:30 if you're unemployed, right? i terminated my uninterrupted categorisation... robbie coltrane — fierce, clever, funny, vulnerable. it's what made him so compelling. fabulous actor. louise is taking a

look at the weather for us. a misty and murky starter of people this morning, but maybe it will improve. apologies for the analogy what you just said, my talkback cable has just said, my talkback cable has just broken, so you went, here is louise... i would do 2.5 minutes of weather and hand back and hopefully weather and hand back and hopefully we can sort out my technical problems in the studio. a very atmospheric story first thing this morning. misty conditions in london. there is also some rain around. there is also some rain around. there is also some rain around. there is an area of low pressure sitting out of the north—west and we have some heavy rain, even some rumbles of thunder and some lightning. windy weather as well, tightly packed isobars is the feature today. whether we have at the moment is not going to hang around very long. this wet weather is going to sweep steadily north and then gradually we will see it replaced by sunny spells and scattered showers. some heavy and summary as well, so around ten or 11

o'clock it will be sitting across aberdeenshire and up into the northern aisles and as the lows still is out there, we will see plenty of showers driven along by some pretty strong gusty winds, just in excess of a0, possibly 50 miles an hour on exposed west facing coasts, and it will feel on the cool side in scotland with those showers. with the best of the dry weather for the east we are still likely to seek buyers of 17 degrees. fingers crossed both of those showers stay away for the opening game for the rugby league world cup, which is in newcastle stop it will be dry and settled but a little on the cold side perhaps. plenty of showers to begin with this evening, but overnight most showers will start to fade away, one or two on west facing coasts than showers into scotland. but because there are clear skies, temperatures down to single figures. a cool start to sunday but it will be a little more straightforward to paint. the picture will be a glorious sunny one across england

and wales, sunshine coming through northern ireland and into scotland as well. just those showers continuing to linger into the far north. but by the end of the afternoon there will be some wetter weather pushing into the far south—west gradually, seeing some rain around. top temperatures in the sunshine, a degree also up in comparison to today, hires of 18 degrees. this rain is largely an overnight feature, the sunday night in the early hours of monday morning we will see more wet and windy weather, but it is drifting steadily north and will start to ease away and that means as we go through the week ahead dry and a little bit quieter. hopefully that was ok. i will sort out my technical columns and talk to you in half—an—hour. all]! and talk to you in half—an—hour. all brilliant. thank you very much. —— technical problems. the line of duty actor vicky mcclure was back on our screens this week, but this time, she'd be the first to say she's not the star of the show. she's made a second series with her "dementia choir".

our reporter megan bourne went to nottingham to see the singers in action, and to meet their very proud choirmaster. this week saw the return of our dementia quieted our tv screens on bbc one. red carpet was rolled out for a special screening in nottingham stars of the choir attending. it was that like for you, seeing yourself on the big screen in front of all these people here tonight? front of all these people here toniaht? ~ . .,, front of all these people here toniuht? , ., , m tonight? we smashed it anyway. he smashes it every _ tonight? we smashed it anyway. he smashes it every single _ tonight? we smashed it anyway. he smashes it every single time. i - smashes it every single time. i 'ust want to get — smashes it every single time. i 'ust went to get the fi smashes it every single time. i 'ust want to get the word i smashes it every single time. list want to get the word out there that it is a terminal illness, but it is not the end. you can still live a good and happy life. it not the end. you can still live a good and happy life.— not the end. you can still live a good and happy life. it has given me a balance of— good and happy life. it has given me a balance of what _ good and happy life. it has given me a balance of what it _ good and happy life. it has given me a balance of what it is _ good and happy life. it has given me a balance of what it is all _ good and happy life. it has given me a balance of what it is all about. - good and happy life. it has given me a balance of what it is all about. i i a balance of what it is all about. i could _ a balance of what it is all about. i could sit— a balance of what it is all about. i could sit on— a balance of what it is all about. i could sit on the chair and died in three _ could sit on the chair and died in three weeks or ten years time, but music— three weeks or ten years time, but music ism — three weeks or ten years time, but music ism ll — three weeks or ten years time, but music is... it takes all that away. we have — music is... it takes all that away. we have pink floyd... the music is. .. it takes all that away.

hello, this is breakfast, with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. the new chancellor, kwasi kwarteng, has been sacked after 37 days. good morning to both of you this morning. what an extraordinary time we are living through. do you have a thought for us this morning as everyone is trying to do just we

have a new chancellor, a prime minister still apparently in trouble amongst her own party. what is your thought for us this morning? mt; amongst her own party. what is your thought for us this morning? my main thoutht is thought for us this morning? my main thought is we — thought for us this morning? my main thought is we still— thought for us this morning? my main thought is we still have _ thought for us this morning? my main thought is we still have £22 _ thought for us this morning? my main thought is we still have £22 billion i thought is we still have £22 billion to find to make everything add up, so i am a bit concerned about where we go from here and the level of turbulence we might see in the course of trying to find that extra £22 billion to make all of the sums add up while the tory party seems to be increasingly at odds with itself but also with the liz truss premiership. i think we're in for a bumpy ride in the next few weeks. you are focusing on the numbers, which are absolutely crucial, of course. what about the people involved? we have a new chancellor now. what of that?— now. what of that? well, in his early interviews _ now. what of that? well, in his early interviews it _ now. what of that? well, in his early interviews it seems i now. what of that? well, in his early interviews it seems that l early interviews it seems that jeremy hunt is very determined to seem extremely calm, as though he is

considering every step. but he is in a scenario where although he is seen as a more unifying figure in the party, liz kwasi kwarteng had generally filled her cabinet with people who had supported her in the leadership campaign rather than her rival, rishi sunak, and jeremy hunt is seen as an olive branch to try to unite the party. he is still aware of the fact that he faces making tax cuts fund themselves through spending cuts, which is obviously a very difficult and unpopular decision to push through, potentially with the tory party's own backbenchers as it faces an nhs backlog, which is part of the reason that we have so many people who are not participating in the labour market, which in turn feeds inflation. so you have a traditionally very energetic cabinet minister, having served in other roles, but he looks very chastened

even now, even on day two, by the economic circumstances he finds himself in. economic circumstances he finds himself in-_ economic circumstances he finds himselfin. . ., ., himself in. sebastian, good morning to ou. himself in. sebastian, good morning to you- there _ himself in. sebastian, good morning to you- there is _ himself in. sebastian, good morning to you. there is lots _ himself in. sebastian, good morning to you. there is lots of _ himself in. sebastian, good morning to you. there is lots of speculation l to you. there is lots of speculation and lots of rumours and conversations happening with political journalist conversations happening with politicaljournalist from inside the conservative party, from mps, saying it is not enough and plots are under way to get rid of liz truss. what are you hearing?— way to get rid of liz truss. what are you hearing? look, liz truss is still in a very _ are you hearing? look, liz truss is still in a very perilous _ are you hearing? look, liz truss is still in a very perilous position. i still in a very perilous position. she did what she had to yesterday because there was no option left to her by the markets but to continue to tsunami slice that mini budget that her government produce just a couple of weeks ago. it is utterly remarkable, she has now been prime minister, just ticked over to 39 days this morning, and yet the wheels are already in motion about how and when she could be removed. nobody i spoke too late last night thought she would survive as prime minister in the medium—term, never mind the longer term as well. does

the medium — mind the longer term as well. does the medium term _ mind the longer term as well. does the medium term mean _ mind the longer term as well. does the medium term mean before christmas? i the medium term mean before christmas?— the medium term mean before christmas? ~' , ., ., ., ., christmas? i knew you going to ask, and nobody — christmas? i knew you going to ask, and nobody wants _ christmas? i knew you going to ask, and nobody wants to _ christmas? i knew you going to ask, and nobody wants to reject - christmas? i knew you going to ask, and nobody wants to reject that i christmas? i knew you going to ask, and nobody wants to reject that in l and nobody wants to reject that in politics when things are so volatile, but i think trussonomics, the plan that she ran on, to stimulate growth, is now dead. jeremy hunt has been starting to do the broad cast around this morning to talk about spending cuts, and the problem with spending cuts and that £20 billion lack hole is it won't get through parliament because the conservative parliamentary party is pretty much ungovernable now. mr hunt can talk about trying to cut spending to feel that black hole but if it can't get through parliament and if the prime minister doesn't have the authority to do that, it won't have the authority with markets, which is what the government is trying to stabilise. in my view, liz truss is more likely than not to get challenged in some form. it is a question of when, not

if, that happens.— if, that happens. there is also the tuestion if, that happens. there is also the question of _ if, that happens. there is also the question of how _ if, that happens. there is also the question of how the _ if, that happens. there is also the question of how the conservative | question of how the conservative party, if it wants to, changes the leadership and avoids another lengthy process that we saw to crown the new leader that we saw between her and rishi sunak, as it got to the final two. how do they do that? the 1922 committee, which is a kind of trade union for tory mps, their rules mean that she cannot be challenged until 2023, a year since she became leader, but the rule of thumb is the 1922 committee is a conduit for tory mps' opinion, so if a large number of them go to sir ian brady, the portly brandy who is in charge of that organisation, if 125 of them went to him and said we have lost confidence in liz truss, we need her to go, it is hisjob to find a way to make it happen. what i suspect would happen is that he would wander over to downing street,

just as he did with borisjohnson and theresa may, and say the mps want you gone. you can do this one of two ways. either you can resign and go quietly or we can change the rules and have a contest. we are not at that point yet but i could see us getting there, and in terms of a lengthy contest, i think the things that are being discussed at the moment include that having such a high threshold to get onto the ballot paper means only one candidate can actually do it, which would create a kind of proto— contest amongst tory mps before you get to the formal contest. tory mps don't want this to go to the membership, but if they did that, it would create an almighty stink and would create an almighty stink and would also mean the next pm — by the way, the fifth prime minister in six years and the second without a mandate from the country— would be in a situation where they have no mandate from tory members and they would be weakened right from the start. shes would be weakened right from the start. �* . . ., .

in bradford and it went missing and they found it in a ditch 20 years later in bradford, and they restored it to its former glory with the cockle fully restored on top, because that had also gone missing. and then a new wheelchair rugby league world cup to be lifted for the first time, marking the historic integration, the biggest and most inclusive rugby league world cup ever held, and they are expecting record crowds over the next month at the various venues. adam wild has more. for this weekend, newcastle becomes the centre of the rugby league universe. world cups don't come around very often. there has never been one quite like this. for the hosts, england, this is their tournament, and it has been a long time coming. we're definitely can win a world cup, especially with it being on home soil. we're going to get cheered all the way by our great supporters,

hopefully introduce new people to this game as well, to inspire that next generation and get people playing this game. because it's moments like these, what can crop up and end up becoming some of the best of your life. like other nations, england have only played a small handful of games in recent years. now, time to hit the ground running. amongst the side, dom young, a breakout star of australia's elite nrl. he could have chosen to play forjamaica. his brother alex will, but he chose england. a lot of england fans haven't seen me, and alsojust to play in front of my friends and family is massive for me as well. i have not really had the opportunity to do that, so i can't wait to show everyone what i'm all about, and hopefully alex will do the same. and this is where it will begin. but beneath the excitement, when it finally begins, england have a match to play, and samoa could be one of the toughest oppositions they will place. sullivan takes it well. still running, sullivan... it has been a long time since any british hand lifted a world cup — half a century since the legendary

clive sullivan inspired england to glory. since then, eight of the last nine tournaments have been won by australia. they remain, as always, clear favourites. australia — world class. but in the five years since they won it last, the sport has weathered monstrous times. forced to change, adapt, it has never been more competitive. teams like samoa, tonga and fiji now pose a genuine threat to the game's established order, and the task for developing rugby league nations like scotland and wales is to take up that task. it is one of the great sports in all of those nations. and to the youth, they know they can represent some of these great nations, and they can play against the best players in the world. it's great for teams like mine to be pitted against great teams such as tonga. all i want my players to do is make sure they rock up, give absolutely everything. and if they do, you never know. but heritage and history is a common thread throughout this competition.

ireland, like many other nations, have brought together a squad with superstars like luke keary playing shoulder to shoulder with the likes of batley�*s michael ward. yeah, i'm a maths teacher by day. a month off was just a bit too much for them to ask, so i've had to give my resignation in and chase my dreams. there's all different stories of these part—timers coming together with superstars of our game. i think that's what is going to make this tournament a bit more special. there's going to be some really cool stories that come out of a lot of the countries. and those stories will start being written this weekend. the rugby league world cup finally begins. and we cannot wait. so excited about it already getting under way. we will talk about the wheelchair rugby league world cup. i have been lucky enough to have a go at it in the past and see how brilliant it is. if you haven't seen it before you are in for a real treat. joining us as

too many of them at the government's door? and after over 25 years, the final addition of dateline —— dateline london is broadcast this weekend. is it a smart decision by the bbc to close it down now? three weeks on from the now ex—chancellor kwasi kwarteng's mini—budget, it's fair to say the economic fallout has not been good. in common with most of the media, bbc news bulletins since then have been full of financial drama and doom. turmoil in the markets, turmoilfor britain. an early morning plunge and the value of the pound in your pocket to depths never seen before against the dollar with impacts on petrol, food prices, mortgage costs and across the economy. the chancellor unveiled a big package of tax cuts at a time of high inflation. the markets thought that was risky and will push inflation higher. so, expectations of where interest rates are growing

lurched suddenly higher. at the heart of this - is credibility and no signs as yet the markets are - convinced by the government's economic strategy, and - borrowers are paying the price. there's certainly plenty to worry about, but has bbc news laid the negativity on too thick and blamed too much of it on that mini—budget? a viewer called robert thought so, writing a couple of weeks ago: and keith mccormick e—mailed on tuesday: also taking exception to the bbc's coverage on the following morning's today programme on radio 4 was the business secretary, jacob rees—mogg, speaking to michelle hussein. i'm trying to get...to get your view on what many people regard as a very serious economic and investor

confidence picture that has been sparked by the mini—budget. look, hold on — you suggest something is causal, which is a speculation. what has caused the effect in pension funds because of some quite high—risk, but low—probability investment strategies is not necessarily the mini—budget. it could just as easily be the fact that the day before, the bank of england did not raise interest rates as much as the federal reserve did, and i thinkjumping to conclusions about causality is not meeting the bbc's requirement for impartiality. jacob rees—mogg there on wednesday. and on friday, we had some reaction to coverage of kwasi kwarteng's sacking, withjo—jo bruce ouansah tweeting: and nicholas quish had this to say:

well, it is been a busy week for what used to be the business and economics unit, and is now the money, technology and data department of bbc news. but its editor, dominic ball, has spared the time to talk to us, and thank you very much for coming on newswatch, dominic. we're talking of course just after kwasi kwarteng's been sacked as chancellor, and already, some viewers have contacted us to say that they feel the media has contributed to his departure. what would you say? i wouldn't accept that, samira. i think when you've got a story which started with the pound being at a record low against the dollar, when you had that spike in government borrowing, when you had the bank of england offering intervention of up to £65 billion, several government u—turns, i think this is a story that was very dramatic in its own right without the media contributing to that. and it has of course been a very volatile time for a couple of weeks now, and viewers have pointed this out — not all the data, economic data out there is disastrous.

has the bbc been too quick since the mini—budget to jump on only the bad figures? i don't think so. i think the real—world impacts of what's happened in the last few weeks in terms of mortgage costs for people, we've seen some mortgages being withdrawn from the market. we have also reported on some of the more positive aspects of what's happened in terms of better savings returns, and actually, the weak pound being good for exporters. and people are also saying that the bbc is blaming everything on the mini—budget, and there are other factors, aren't there, such as the war in ukraine, global inflation affecting interest rates and markets overreacting perhaps. yeah, i think we've acknowledged all the way through that there are a number of factors in this, not least the very strong dollar, and what the federal reserve is doing around interest rates. but i think you also need — when you're looking at due impartiality with the bbc, you need to weigh the arguments to examine the evidence, and i think you would struggle to find that many economists who would say that there is no link between what happened in the mini—budget and then

what subsequently happened in the markets and, in fact, the government itself, kwasi kwarteng just yesterday acknowledged that his mini—budget had caused some turbulence. that was on thursday. and you mention impartiality — jacob rees—mogg, as we heard, accused the today programme while he was being interviewed of perhaps not being impartial. what's your response? well, i'd reiterate that we acknowledge the global factors in what had happened, the strong dollar, the federal reserve's action on the story, but we have to balance the strength of the arguments — that's part of what due impartiality is all about, we have to ask difficult questions and, as i say, most economists would acknowledge that there is a link between what happened in the mini—budget and what subsequently happened on the markets. and many viewers i think might remember at least one, if not more previous economic crises being big stories in the news — 2008, the 1992 crashing out of the erm — my first economic crisis

as a journalist — possibly even 1972's budget, and i wonder how unprecedented is the challenge of covering the current rapidly changing economic situation? i can't claim to have covered all those myself, but what i would say — it's been extremely challenging and i think the speed of the story changing, the speed of the market reaction... we've been also at pains to try and emphasise what it means for our audiences, what the real—world impacts are, but it's certainly been the most challenging story i think i've covered in my career. do you think there is a slight danger ofjournalists perhaps getting a bit overexcited and feeding that into coverage, especially with social media, you can report things very instantly on social media feeds and so on, can't you? you can. i think, you know, we have to choose our words very carefully because we are very conscious, we don't want to add to any sense of panic in the markets or even with audiences as well. so, i think we've reported it carefully, i think we've sought to hold those involved to account, but also sought to acknowledge all of the other factors at play as well. and you mentioned what

the public think, you know, thinking more broadly about the challenges of economic reporting, an audience isn't mostly economic experts, and there is some research that came out just last week in the press gazette, which reveal that many of the public don't understand key economic terms such as inflation, gdp and the deficit, and yourjournalists use those terms all the time. is that a concern in trying to get stories across? this is so important because we've got — when we've got a story of this significance, we want everybody to be able to understand it, and we talk about it all the time. yesterday i was involved in a conversation with my team about the 2008 global financial crisis, and some of the audience don't understand that, so we were talking about, well, how else do we describe it? do we talk about the recession? again, that's problematic for some members of the audience. so we ended up talking about when the global banking system almost collapsed. so we're having those conversations all the time and they're informing ourjudgements. i think if you look on our website, we have lots of simple explainers around — is my pension at risk?

what is the office for budget responsibility? and i think, just to give an example — our today business presenter, sean farrington, we had on news round very recently talking about the markets, what had been going on in the markets, because we want that audience to understand this as well. excellent. dominic ball, thank you so much. thank you, samira. now, as we mentioned on newswatch, at the time, it was announced back in april that dateline london, the weekly current affairs discussion programme on the news channel, launched in 1996, would be coming to an end. viewers then begged the bbc to reverse that decision. but there has been no reprieve and, as shaun ley said at the end of last weekend's programme, this weekend's will be the final edition. well, look, polly toynbee, jeffrey kofman and marc roche, thank you all very much. thank you for being in dateline over many years. you won't be with us, sadly, next week. i do hope you'll be with us next week for the final edition of dateline london after 25 years.

we'll have at least one guest who was there right at the start who'll be joining me next week. the programme brings together uk journalists and foreign correspondents based in this country to hear their perspectives on current news stories, and it's had a loyal audience. it includes vanessa walls, who recorded this video for us: my husband and i are very disappointed that the bbc is axing dateline london. we have thoroughly enjoyed this short 30—minute programme in which national and international journalists discuss a number of world—wide topics. having lived in various locations around the world, it is interesting to hear the views of other nationalities covering their own countries and giving their perspective on what is happening in britain. their independent and impartial views are extremely valuable. well, that view represents many viewers who feel the bbc should have rethought the cancellation at a time when international tensions are greater than ever. the bbc has said it has nothing

to add to this statement that it gave back in april in response to complaints about the programme's demise. finally, there's no immediate end in sight to the conflict in ukraine, and no let—up in its intensity. on monday morning, sally bundock was speaking to hugo bachega in kyiv for the bbc about russia's response to the attack on a bridge leading to crimea when this happened. we saw yesterday that a residential area of the city of zaporizhzhia, a major city in the south of the country, very close to the front lines was hit, more than a dozen... explosion

ok, hugo bachega there, our correspondent in kyiv, obviously, for obvious reasons, taking cover at that point. well, paul needs spoke for many viewers who saw that when he tweeted this: thank you for all your comments this week. if you want to share your opinions about what you see or hear on bbc news on tv, radio, online and social media, e—mail: or you can find us on twitter: you can call us. and do have a look at previous interviews on our website: that's all from us. we'll be back to hear your thoughts about bbc news coverage again next week. goodbye.

good morning welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. our headlines: liz truss faces a backlash from conservative mp's after sacking kwasi kwarteng as chancellor and scrapping a planned increase in corporation tax. it is clear that parts of our mini budget went further and faster than markets were expecting. so the way we are delivering our mission right now has to change. jeremy hunt begins his first day as chancellor, the fourth in as many months. we'll speak to him live at 8:30. good morning from romford market where _ good morning from romford market where the _ good morning from romford market where the traders are preparing for the day— where the traders are preparing for the day ahead as the chancellor prepares— the day ahead as the chancellor prepares for his first full day in office — prepares for his first full day in office ill— prepares for his first full day in office. i'll be finding out what voters — office. i'll be finding out what voters here want to hear from him.

good morning from stjames' park in newcastle where the rugby league world cup kicks off this afternoon. the biggest ever rugby league world cup with the men's opening match, class of the titans between england and samoa. one of the nations will be hoping to lift this come the end of november. it is a tale of two halves this weekend, blustery, showery saturday, and then on sunday slightly quieter story before more wet weather starts to arrive in from the west. all the details coming up shortly. good morning, saturday the 15th of october. the prime minister is working to shore up her authority today after announcing a second major u—turn on her economic plans. some conservative mps privately discussing ousting liz truss as leader after she sacked her chancellor kwasi kwarteng. and she reversed a key policy to scrap the planned rise in corporation tax. our

political correspondent helen catt reports on a turbulent day in westminster. the prime minister with her new chancellorjeremy hunt. hisjob, to reassure the markets, hers to reassure the markets, hers to reassure her own mps. yesterday liz truss was forced into another u—turn on her mini budget. so the way we are delivering our mission right now has to change. i have therefore decided to keep the increase in corporation tax that was planned by the previous government. this will raise £18 billion per year. the news conference she gave was short. her performance failed to convince a number of her own mps. thank you very much, everybody. hours earlier, she had sacked herfriend and close political ally kwasi kwarteng over the economic strategy which they had drawn up together and on which she campaigned. that has led some mps to question the credibility of ms truss staying on as prime minister. supporters say she should be given more time. all those colleagues of mine who never wanted liz truss in the first place, it's about time

they thought about what they really wish for, because i was very sceptical when borisjohnson was kicked out. i said we'd rue the day. i hadn't expected to be proved correct so quickly, but we cannot afford to lose another conservative prime minister. we must get behind liz truss, and people need to realise that. the former health and foreign secretary, jeremy hunt, was appointed as the fourth chancellor in four months. he starts work today on the economic plan which he will present on 31st october and which will be crucial to liz truss's future. but a number of tory mps are already talking about how much longer her premiership can last, less than a0 days after it began. let's talk to our political correspondent lone wells in downing street. good morning. how is the prime minister going to move on from

this? ,., ., ., ., ., prime minister going to move on from this? ., ., ., ., �*, this? good morning, naga. that's the big question — this? good morning, naga. that's the big question nobody _ this? good morning, naga. that's the big question nobody really _ this? good morning, naga. that's the big question nobody really has - this? good morning, naga. that's the big question nobody really has a - big question nobody really has a definite answer to at the moment. certainly a theme coming up yesterday in conversations with lots of conservative mps was this repeated phrase, it is notjust the chancellor, it is her, these are her policies, this is the platform she has stood on to get elected by the party members this summer. mps who liked her policies are frustrated she has you turned on some of them and mps who don't like the policies feel that sacking the chancellor will not necessarily have made a difference. remember her tax cuts were not the only area that she was kind of fighting fires around. there are lots of different pressure points building at the moment, some mps are unhappy about possible spending cuts, plans to bring back fracking, her plans to change house—building rules. she is essentially dealing with various different pressure points in the next few weeks to come as well. the big question is what mps do next. there are some mps who feel it would

be absurd to try and oust her and replace her and have a new leader again, that that would cause even more disruption for the markets in the country right now. there are others who feel the absurd right now might be the better option and they cannot see how she can carry on. the thing that seems to be saving her at the moment is the lack of agreement about what to do next. a rare the moment is the lack of agreement about what to do next. a— about what to do next. a we are aroin to about what to do next. a we are going to be _ about what to do next. a we are going to be talking _ about what to do next. a we are going to be talking to _ about what to do next. a we are going to be talking to the - going to be talking to the chancellor, the new chancellor, jeremy hunt made about half an hour. is he bringing stability? is he bringing enough stability for the party? bringing enough stability for the .a ? ., , , ., bringing enough stability for the .a ? ., , ., y bringing enough stability for the a? bringing enough stability for the party? certainly some tory mps i've soken to party? certainly some tory mps i've spoken to this _ party? certainly some tory mps i've spoken to this morning _ party? certainly some tory mps i've spoken to this morning have - party? certainly some tory mps i've spoken to this morning have said i spoken to this morning have said they may have bought the party a bit of time, he's a respected figure in the party. however, he needs to outline on 31st of october how he's going to fund their tax—cutting plans, how he's going to try and grow the economy and how he's going to get the uk's debt falling. these are big problems he's inherited from

his predecessor. he's already said this morning there are going to be difficult decisions ahead, very difficult decisions ahead, very difficult decisions ahead, hint perhaps at some of the possible spending cuts and efficiencies that might be made across government at a time when public spending and government departments are already feeling very squeezed at the moment. this is certainly one of the big pressure points ahead of him. the challenge for him is whether it will be enough to calm the markets, but also, will it be enough to calm fears among his own mps? many of whom are not happy at the idea of squeezing public spending further. lone wells, thank you very much. detectives investigating the murder of 19—year—old leah croucher who went missing in milton keynes in 2019 have aimed a convicted sex offender who died three years ago as their main suspect. thames valley police say they believe neil maxwell who killed himself two months after leah's disappearance was involved in her death. phil mackie reports. leah croucher disappeared

in february 2019. this was the last time she was seen alive, grainy cctv capturing her as she walked to work. police carried out a massive investigation at the time but made no progress until this week, when a tip—off brought them to this detached house. very quickly they found some of her personal belongings and then the news herfamily personal belongings and then the news her family feared, personal belongings and then the news herfamily feared, human news her family feared, human remains. news herfamily feared, human remains. her mum, dad and sister visited the scene and left a note attached to flowers saying their darkest fears had come true. police now say they believe they know who was responsible for her disappearance.- was responsible for her disappearance. was responsible for her disa earance. �* ., , ., disappearance. i'm able to confirm we have nominated _ disappearance. i'm able to confirm we have nominated a _ disappearance. i'm able to confirm we have nominated a suspect - disappearance. i'm able to confirm we have nominated a suspect in i disappearance. i'm able to confirm. we have nominated a suspect in this case. his name is neil maxwell. however, maxwell was found dead on 20th april 2019, having taken his own life. maxwell had keys to the property.

he was a convicted sex offender who was on the run at the time leah vanished. during the original investigation, police carried out house—to—house inquiries at around 4,000 properties, including this one. at least twice they came around and knocked on the door, but no—one was in because no—one lived here at the time. they left a leaflet through the door instead. but as the police have since explained, they had nothing to link neil maxwell with leah croucher, nor either of them to this house, until this week. in a statement, the croucher family thanked thames valley police and said they believed it couldn't have done anything differently. they are now nearer to knowing what happened to their missing daughter. phil mackie, bbc news, milton keynes. rescuers in turkey are trying to reach dozens of people trapped underground after an explosion at a coal mine. at least 28 workers died in the blast in amasra, on the black sea coast.

eight of those rescued so far are in a critical condition. the blast is thought to have happened at a depth of around 300 metres. tributes have been paid to the actor robbie coltrane, who has died aged 72. the scottish star played hagrid in the harry potter films but was also known for his work in comedy, two james bond movies, and the acclaimed itv detective drama, cracker. our arts correspondent david sillito has been looking back at his life and career. oh, hello. sorry, don't wish to be rude, but i'm in no fit state to entertain today. ain't no—one going to get past fluffy. hagrid in harry potter — big, gruff, fond of a drink, but blessed with a good heart. jk rowling said there was only one person who could play him — robbie coltrane. well, i knew that she wanted me to play hagrid in the film, and then i heard that she actually imagined me as hagrid. but, you know, women imagine me all the time, you know? laughs in her tribute,

criminal psychologist fitz. he won a bafta three years running for this clever, ha rd—drinking character. there are some questions so obvious that nobody ever bothers to ask them. there were a few parallels with his own carefully guarded private life. singing this is our only chance to go straight! the killer's not on the dole. you're not up and about at 7:30 if you're unemployed, right? i terminated my uninterrupted categorisation. robbie coltrane — fierce, clever, funny, vulnerable. it's what made him so compelling. when you look at all the things he has starred in euro member, through my lifetime anyway, he's been a brilliant presence on screen and so versatile. ., .,, , versatile. some of those things amonrst versatile. some of those things amongst the — versatile. some of those things amongst the most _ versatile. some of those things amongst the most lovely - versatile. some of those thingsj amongst the most lovely things versatile. some of those things - amongst the most lovely things that have been— amongst the most lovely things that have been on— amongst the most lovely things that have been on tv, _ amongst the most lovely things that have been on tv, the _

which will sit to the north—west. the first frontal system is moving away at quite a pace, then we are going to see plenty of frequent showers around as well. this has been the story so far. you can see the heavy rain actually but it is moving up into scotland already and the tail end is really weakening off. so not that much in the way of persistent heavy rain across central and southern england. closest to the area of low pressure is where we will see the most frequent showers so out to the west in particular and driven along by these blustery winds, widely gusting 30 or a0 mph but on exposed west facing coasts may be as strong as 50 mph at times. in sheltered eastern areas you might catch one or two showers but they should be few and far between and thatis should be few and far between and that is where we will have the best of the sunshine and warmth with 70 degrees as a high. some of the showers across england and wales through the evening hours will fade away. in actualfact through the evening hours will fade away. in actual fact it does mean that with those clearer skies across

newcastle, if you are heading for the rugby world cup kick—off this afternoon it looks likely it is going to be a dry affair. hopefully those showers are staying well away. through the evening the showers will continue to fade across england and wales. we will see more showers in scotland but gradually drifting steadily northwards. and because of those clearer skies the temperature is perhaps falling into single figures first thing on sunday morning, so a chillier start but hopefully tomorrow will have more in the way of sunshine pretty much from the way of sunshine pretty much from the word go. to start with across england and wales plenty of sunshine coming through. a few scattered showers particularly into northern scotland which will linger through much of the day, and then you can't miss what is happening in the south—west. by the end of the day we will see more cloud and strengthening winds here as we will see outbreaks of showery rain developing from the south, gradually nudging steadily north. but for many of us on sunday, dry and settled, pleasant day, and if you get out and about you should see temperatures

peaking at 18 degrees. louise, thank you very much see later on. in a short while we will talk to a man whose story of courage and determination we have have been following very closely on breakfast. martin hibbert and his teenage daughter eve were both paralysed in the manchester arena bomb of 2017 and since then he's been working tirelessly to raise funds for people with spinal injuries, including an epicjourney up mount kilimanjaro. you will probably remember this. last night martin received a prestigious award for those efforts. more on that shortly but first let's have a reminder of his story courtesy of the poet, tony walsh. from a single act of violence and the 22 we lost the hundreds, maybe thousands who still pay a daily cost there comes choirs there comes music there comes campaigns there comes stories there come glades of lights and daily fights

and love in all its glory there comes martin in his wheelchair with just one thing on his mind and dream, believe, achieve, he said onwards, forwards, climb and with northern blooded mindedness and crazy as this sounds, we'll raise hope we'll raise awareness we will raise £1 million those who saw him at his lowest at the very gates of hell those who stitched him back together and said you're mad we'll climb, as well from a base camp on a bomb site this is wheelchair v volcano. yes, it's rough and, yes, it's tough but martin's often heard to say, though, climbfor dignity humanity for all like me who say believe in us achieving we climb mountains every day over rock and over rivers and through heat and sheeting rain and through blood and sweat and fears

and through sickness and through pain over boulders, aching shoulders something holds us through the snow something in us deep within us we dig in on we go and he made it to the summit and united with his mum and he raised a flag to manchester with a "look, mum, what i've done" and to those who would divide us who'd spread hatred all around this says love can conquer mountains and it's never coming down and it's strong and it can catch us it can lift us to the top and martin, he'sjust started and he's never going to stop from a single act of violence comes a simple act of love we rise, we rise, we rise, we rise we rise above.

leading this country as prime minister right now?— leading this country as prime minister right now? good morning, charlie, minister right now? good morning, charlie. yes — minister right now? good morning, charlie. yes i _ minister right now? good morning, charlie, yes i do. _ minister right now? good morning, charlie, yes i do. she _ minister right now? good morning, charlie, yes i do. she has - minister right now? good morning, charlie, yes i do. she has been i charlie, yes i do. she has been prime ministerfor less charlie, yes i do. she has been prime minister for less than five weeks, we had a leadership contest and people voted for their preferred candidate and she won fair and square. listening to those people in your package earlier talking about mortgage rates, the value of the pound, what people want more than anything else is stability. and that means political stability, as well. from my perspective, what i need to deliver as chancellor is i can't control the markets, no chancellor should ever seek to do that. but giving certainty over public finances, how we will pay for every penny and get through the tax and spending decisions we make, there is a very important ways that i can give certainty and help create the stability that is going to make a difference to families who, right

now, are finding life extremely tough. now, are finding life extremely touch. , now, are finding life extremely tourh, , , .,, now, are finding life extremely touch. , , ., , tough. many people asking a very simle tough. many people asking a very simple question _ tough. many people asking a very simple question - _ tough. many people asking a very simple question - why _ tough. many people asking a very simple question - why is - tough. many people asking a very simple question - why is it i tough. many people asking a very simple question - why is it your. simple question — why is it your predecessor, kwasi kwarteng, got the sack and liz truss remains in post? they madejoint sack and liz truss remains in post? they made joint decisions, which are now deemed to be flawed. i they made joint decisions, which are now deemed to be flawed.— now deemed to be flawed. i would rather have _ now deemed to be flawed. i would rather have a _ now deemed to be flawed. i would rather have a prime _ now deemed to be flawed. i would rather have a prime minister- now deemed to be flawed. i would rather have a prime minister who l rather have a prime minister who listens and learns. i agree fundamentally with the big thing she wants to sort out, this growth paradox that means that if we want to put money into brilliant public services like the nhs and keep taxes low, we need to find a way of turbo—charging growth in the economy. there were some mistakes made in the last few weeks, that is why i am sitting here. it was a mistake to cut the top rate of tax when we are asking everyone to make sacrifices. it was a mistake to fly blind and not to back up the economic plans that were announced with an independent forecast from the office for budget

responsibility. those things have been addressed. we need growth with stability, create the stability that will allow long—term growth to happen. the one commitment i would make to the two people i heard talking on the package is that as we make these very difficult decisions on spending, very difficult decisions on tax, we will be thinking about families, businesses, who are struggling at the moment, they will be at the forefront because this is a compassionate conservative government and we will be making sure that their needs are top of our minds as we make these very tough decisions. you top of our minds as we make these very tough decisions.— top of our minds as we make these very tough decisions. you come into the 'ob as very tough decisions. you come into the job as chancellor _ very tough decisions. you come into the job as chancellor and _ very tough decisions. you come into the job as chancellor and the - very tough decisions. you come into the job as chancellor and the first i the job as chancellor and the first thing you are telling us on bbc breakfast is the prime minister, your boss, made mistakes? i’m breakfast is the prime minister, your boss, made mistakes? i'm being straightforward _ your boss, made mistakes? i'm being straightforward about _ your boss, made mistakes? i'm being straightforward about the _ your boss, made mistakes? i'm being straightforward about the situation i straightforward about the situation but that is what the prime minister wants me to do because we want to fix this. i would say that the country willjudge us at the next election far more by what happens

over the next 18 months than what has happened over the last 18 days. we want to put this right. but we also want to level with people that in a very, very challenging international situation, post—pandemic cost of living crisis and ukraine, we will have to make difficult decisions on spending. it won't rise by as much as we would have liked and we will have to ask all government departments for even more efficiencies and we won't be able to cut taxes as quickly as we wanted to and some taxes will have to go up. that is a very difficult message and that if we want to keep the rises in interest rates as low as possible, we have to give certainty to the markets that we really can fund every penny of our plan. really can fund every penny of our lan. ., , really can fund every penny of our ian, ., , ., really can fund every penny of our lan. , ., ., really can fund every penny of our lan. ., ., plan. one way a government can give certain to plan. one way a government can give certainty to individuals _ plan. one way a government can give certainty to individuals and _ plan. one way a government can give certainty to individuals and markets i certainty to individuals and markets is by sticking to what they say they're going to do and that includes the prime minister. liz

truss told us very recently we will not be cutting public spending. is that true now as it was when we don't want to cut public spending... i'm going to ask that question very carefully again. liz truss that we will not be cutting public spending, is that true? imilli will not be cutting public spending, is that true?— will not be cutting public spending, is that true? ~ , ., ., , is that true? will you let me answer the question. _ is that true? will you let me answer the question, charlie? _ is that true? will you let me answer the question, charlie? please i is that true? will you let me answer the question, charlie? please do. i the question, charlie? please do. thank you- _ the question, charlie? please do. thank you- i'm — the question, charlie? please do. thank you. i'm not _ the question, charlie? please do. thank you. i'm not going - the question, charlie? please do. thank you. i'm not going to i the question, charlie? please do. thank you. i'm not going to make the question, charlie? please do. i thank you. i'm not going to make any commitments less than 2a hours after becoming chancellor on any individual element of spending or tax. i would say to you overall i expect public spending to continue to rise. that includes very important measures announced by my predecessor, such as the energy price guarantee, where people's energy bills were heading for £6,500 per year and that has been capped at £2500 for the average household. but is a very important measure that will make a very big difference to families. it will bring down

inflation by about 5%! some very important things happened. straight after this, important things happened. straight afterthis, i important things happened. straight after this, i will be sitting down with my officials in the treasury and we will go through the whole picture and i will be talking to the prime minister about it at chequers tomorrow. we will announce our decisions in two weeks on monday, when we have the big announcement on the 31st of october. that is the way we will get to the right decisions looking at everything in the round. can you see that someone listening to you this morning who is using public services, could be the nhs, could be any of the organisations, who hears you are unable to repeat what your prime minister has said — we will not be cutting public spending. you cannot repeat that to us this morning. they will think to themselves i see a u—turn coming up. what i say to those people, everyone of them, is that you want me to be is completely honest. we have some very difficult decisions ahead of us. but what i want to tell them is

that as we take those decisions, our priorities and values will be to think about the people who are struggling the most, businesses, families, vulnerable people. they will be in our minds. those are our values as a compassionate conservative government, that is the prism through which we will approach these decisions. i don't want to pretend that they won't be difficult. we have a very challenging economic situation. to bring back that stability that the people you were speaking to an earlier want so badly, whether it is about mortgage rates, whether it is about mortgage rates, whether it is about the currency value, chancellors can't control these things directly. at the oval environment to make it more stable, the one thing chancellors can do is to show that their sums add up and thatis to show that their sums add up and that is what i need to do. chancellor, can i ask you, as it stands, depending on quite who you ask, you can tell me the numbers if

you like, the ifa suggests you had a £62 billion black hole in your funding. unfunded tax cuts. as we speak, do you, this morning, no the plan? speak, do you, this morning, no the lan? ., , ., ., ., ., ., plan? that is what i am going to go and work out _ plan? that is what i am going to go and work out with _ plan? that is what i am going to go and work out with my _ plan? that is what i am going to go and work out with my officials i plan? that is what i am going to go and work out with my officials -- i and work out with my officials —— know the plan. what i want to say to you and people watching this morning is that we will take some tough decisions. notjust on spending but also on tax. because we have to show the world that we have a plan that adds up financially and that is how we will get stability back in this situation. one other thing, we will get stability back in this situation. one otherthing, charlie, i am doing thisjob because, despite all those difficult decisions, i have incredible long—term confidence in our country. the best universities, some of the best universities, some of the best universities in the world, the biggest tech sector in europe and one of the world was my great financial sectors, we have enormous potential as a country. but the

reason we are still be fifth or sixth largest economy in the world, despite what people who have been down on britain for many years have said, the reason we have stayed up there is because, at big moments, we have been prepared to take tough and difficult decisions and that is what we will do this time, too.- we will do this time, too. jeremy hunt, chancellor _ we will do this time, too. jeremy hunt, chancellor of _ we will do this time, too. jeremy hunt, chancellor of the i we will do this time, too. jeremy i hunt, chancellor of the exchequer, thank you, i am sure we will talk again over the next days and weeks, thank you. again over the next days and weeks, thank ou. . ~ again over the next days and weeks, thank ou. ., ,, i. ., again over the next days and weeks, thank you-_ good i thank you. thank you, charlie. good morninr. here's louise with a look at the weather. we had a few technical gremlins this morning, have you got rid of your gremlins? morning, have you got rid of your aremlins? ., ., , ., ., , gremlins? nothing a bit of gaffer ta -e can't gremlins? nothing a bit of gaffer tape can't fix- — gremlins? nothing a bit of gaffer tape can't fix. always, _ gremlins? nothing a bit of gaffer tape can't fix. always, it i gremlins? nothing a bit of gaffer tape can't fix. always, it is i gremlins? nothing a bit of gaffer tape can't fix. always, it is the l tape can't fix. always, it is the answer to _ tape can't fix. always, it is the answer to everything! i tape can't fix. always, it is the i answer to everything! laughter i might look calm, but underneath, honestly, i am i might look calm, but underneath, honestly, iam paddling i might look calm, but underneath, honestly, i am paddling away like crazy. good morning, everybody. this is barnsley an hour ago. the rainbow means there has been showers but glorious picture. in the sunshine, it is lovely but plenty of showers

today. low pressure centred across the country. plenty of isobars. it will be a blustery and showery day for many. most frequent showers to the west and the heaviest of the rain so far has been in the west. you are probably saying this is rain, not showers but this will scoot away quite quickly up into the north. behind we will see the shower cloud tied into the low sitting out in the west. frequent showers on west facing posts but some will push further inland, not exclusively out to the west but hopefully few and far between in eastern areas. gust of wind 30 mph, a0 mph, that will have an impact. in terms of the feel of the weather, 11—13 in scotland and northern ireland and may be 17 in the far south—east. you have probably seen the rugby league world cup starts today and it is in newcastle. although there will be some showers around, hopefully by

the time kick—off gets under way, it should be very pleasant. only around 12 celsius. if you are lucky enough to have tickets, a couple of extra layers. through this evening, most of the showers across england and wales will fade away and even those on the west facing posts but further north, some showers around. temperatures in single figures, a chilly start to tomorrow morning, particularly in rural areas. we could see some showers across the forth north of scotland. these will linger but for many of us, not a bad day —— far north of scotland. lots of sunshine. until the end of the afternoon, here we go again, more cloud and rain gathering into the far south—west. that will drift steadily north. enjoy the sunshine and a bit more warmth. highs of 18. once that heavy rain clears away sunday into monday, things will quieten down yet again. back to you two.

eels coming into fresh water from the ocean. after maturing into adults, growing up to one metre long, european eels swim all the way back across the ocean to reproduce and die. yeah, they've travelled thousands of kilometres to get here. it's taken up to two years. they will spend several years in the fresh water and then the adults have this huge journey, thousands of kilometres back. it's long been thought they end up in the sargasso sea but until now the facts have been hard to prove. there's still many more mystery surrounding these eels? there's still many more mysteries surrounding these eels? yeah, for hundreds of years, people have been trying to understand eels. they are very mysterious, they are incredible creatures. we are gradually learning more and more and part of the monitoring that we are doing is helping to build up a picture of what's going on in the eel populations. the researchers picked up the trail in the azores islands in the middle

of the atlantic ocean, attaching satellite tags to eels on the final leg of their journey. that's a big one. and they say they now have the first direct evidence of adult european eels reaching this spawning ground. we knew they could get as far as the azores but had final leg wasjust discovered. wasjust undiscovered. so, we thought if we could tag eels in the azores, then we might fill that gap. and we have managed this, we can confirm we have filled in that final leg of the journey to the sargasso sea. the young eels arriving from the sea, there's still time to mature and grow. predators, pollution, poaching, and climate change are just some of the hazards they face. so, shall we release them, now? let's put them back in. and as these eels set off on the next step of their odyssey, there's hope the knowledge gained will help in conservation. helen briggs, bbc news, essex.

considerably bigger than england as a side. i know clare alluded to it but the kicking game will be vital. interesting to see the england selection. hopefully, like i said, we can get off to a great start. i we can get off to a great start. i need your prediction, curve. australia have won it so many times but they haven't played for three years and the last time they place they lost to tonga —— your prediction, kevin. a different nation or england, samoa, tonga perhaps lifting at this time? i perhaps lifting at this time? i don't think i would write off australia ever. out of those five nations i mentioned, new zealand probably have the strongest squad on paper. but i know how important it is for england to win. in all three tournaments i know how important it is but especially the men's. we have had so many times that we have tried and just fell short. being on uk soil i don't see we will ever see it

back shortly. good morning. welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. good morning. our headlines today: the new chancellorjeremy hunt tells bbc breakfast that the government will have to make difficult decisions on tax and spending, as it tries to stabilise the economy. it was a mistake to cut the top rate of tax in a period when we are asking everyone to make sacrifices. and it was a mistake to fly blind and not to back up the

economic plans that were announced with an independent forecast from the office for budget responsibility. both those things have been addressed. mr hunt was speaking as liz truss tries to stabilise her own premiership after sacking kwasi kwarteng as chancellor and scrapping a planned increase in corporation tax. good morning from st james' park in newcastle where the biggest rugby league world cup ever staged kicks off this afternoon. hosts england take on another of the heavyweights samoa in an opening clash of the titans. finally, harry, didn't you ever wonder where your mum and dad learned it all? you're a wizard, harry. remembering robbie coltrane. tributes are paid to the actor who's died at the age of 72. good morning. it is a tale of two halves this weekend, it is a blustery, showery saturday, and then on sunday a slightly quieter story before more wet weather starts to arrive in from the west.

all the details coming up shortly. it's saturday 15th october. our top story: in the last half hour the new chancellor of the exchequer has told this programme that "mistakes were made" in the financial plans laid out by his predecessor, kwasi kwarteng. jeremy hunt also warned that he'll need to make what he called "difficult decisions" in terms of tax and spending. mr hunt was appointed yesterday by the prime minister, liz truss, who is facing growing unrest among her own mps after a chaotic start to her premiership. our political correspondent lone wells is on downing street. lone, good morning. we have heard the first word from the chancellor this morning. lstallion we have heard the first word from the chancellor this morning. when he criticises mistakes _ the chancellor this morning. when he criticises mistakes that _ the chancellor this morning. when he criticises mistakes that were - the chancellor this morning. when he criticises mistakes that were made i criticises mistakes that were made that means he is criticising his own prime minister.

that's right. he did say she is the right person to be doing the job just now but what he said has raised massive questions for liz truss and what she stands for. a couple of takeaways from his interview this morning, he said there would be very difficult decisions coming down the road on public spending and that he would be asking all government departments to find efficiencies. he didn't rule out that that might even include the nhs and health budgets as well. he also said there would be difficult decisions on tax and that taxes would not go down as much people is wanted. some might even go up. he also said that on defence spending, again, that was a big pledge of liz truss's, he couldn't rule out that the budget for defence may not be able to go up in the way that was planned depending on the economic situation. these are three massive flagship policies of liz truss that the new chancellor is effectively saying they are now all “p effectively saying they are now all up for grabs and may not happen. that does raise big questions about

liz truss's platform, what she stands for now, that those ideas are all essentially potentially going to change. he did say, however, on this programme that they will be judged by the decisions they made in any future elections. i'm being straightforward about the situation _ i'm being straightforward about the situation. but that's what the prime minister— situation. but that's what the prime minister wants me to do because we want to— minister wants me to do because we want to fix— minister wants me to do because we want to fix this. i would say that the country— want to fix this. i would say that the country are going tojudge us at the country are going tojudge us at the next _ the country are going tojudge us at the next election far more by what happens _ the next election far more by what happens over the next 18 months than what's _ happens over the next 18 months than what's happened over the last 18 days _ what's happened over the last 18 days and — what's happened over the last 18 days. and we want to put this right, but we _ days. and we want to put this right, but we also — days. and we want to put this right, but we also want to level with people — but we also want to level with people that in a very, very challenging international situation post—pandemic, cost of living crisis. — post—pandemic, cost of living crisis, ukraine we are going to have to make _ crisis, ukraine we are going to have to make difficult decisions on spending. it's not going to rise by as much— spending. it's not going to rise by as much as — spending. it's not going to rise by as much as we would have liked and we are _ as much as we would have liked and we are going to have to ask all government departments for even more efficiencies. —

government debt down, and also possible further reforms to try and grow the economy. that will be the key test of whether or not the new chancellor can reassure the markets. the other question, of course, for both him and the prime minister, is can they reassure their own party? we can listen now to a little extract from the press conference liz truss gave yesterday which, among conservative mps, didn't really go far enough to reassure what is a very few bra mood in the party at the moment. it is what is a very few bra mood in the party at the moment.— party at the moment. it is clear that parts _ party at the moment. it is clear that parts of — party at the moment. it is clear that parts of our— party at the moment. it is clear that parts of our mini _ party at the moment. it is clear that parts of our mini budget i party at the moment. it is clear. that parts of our mini budget went further— that parts of our mini budget went further and faster than markets were expecting _ further and faster than markets were expecting. so the way we are delivering our mission right now has to change _ delivering our mission right now has to change. we need to act now to reassure — to change. we need to act now to reassure the markets of our fiscal discipline — reassure the markets of our fiscal discipline i— reassure the markets of our fiscal discipline. i have, therefore, decided _ discipline. i have, therefore, decided to keep the increase in corporation tax that was planned by the previous government. this will raise _ the previous government. this will raise £18 _ the previous government. this will raise £18 billion per year. the

challenge _ raise £18 billion per year. the challenge now _ raise £18 billion per year. the challenge now for _ raise £18 billion per year. tue: challenge now for liz truss raise £18 billion per year. ti9 challenge now for liz truss after that second u—turn on corporation tax is the mps who backed some of her tax—cutting plans are annoyed that she has now you turned on them. the mps who didn't like her tax—cutting plans still don't feel that she is the right person for the job. so she's got different wings of the party now that she has to try and win back. that's the political challenge for her in the weeks to come. lone wells, thank you very much. detectives investigating the murder of 19—year—old leah croucher — who went missing in milton keynes in 2019 — have named a convicted sex offender who died three years ago as their main suspect. thames valley police say they believe neil maxwell — who killed himself two months after leah's disappearance — was involved in her death. phil mackie reports. leah croucher disappeared in february 2019. this was the last time she was seen alive, grainy cctv capturing her as she walked to work. police carried out a massive

investigation at the time but made no progress until this week, when a tip—off brought them to this detached house. very quickly they found some of her personal belongings and then the news her family feared, human remains. her mum, dad and sister visited the scene and left a note attached to flowers saying their darkest fears had come true. police now say they believe they know who was responsible for her disappearance. i'm able to confirm we have nominated a suspect in this case. his name is neil maxwell. however, maxwell was found dead on 20th april 2019, having taken his own life. maxwell had keys to the property. he was a convicted sex offender who was on the run at the time leah vanished. during the original investigation, police carried out house—to—house inquiries at around 4,000

properties, including this one. at least twice they came around, knocked on the door, but nobody was in because no—one lived here at the time. they left a leaflet through the door instead. but as the police have since explained, they had nothing to link neil maxwell with leah croucher, nor either of them to this house, until this week. in a statement, the croucher family thanked thames valley police and said they believed it couldn't have done anything differently. they are now nearer to knowing what happened to their missing daughter. phil mackie, bbc news, milton keynes. astronomers have detected what may be the most powerful flash of light ever seen, from an event that occurred 2.4 billion light years from earth. the burst of gamma—rays was first detected by orbiting telescopes on the 9th october, and its afterglow is still being watched by scientists across the world. it is believed to have been caused by a huge dying star as it

collapsed into a black hole. from the phenomenon up there to the phenomenon in our seas. british scientists have solved the mystery of where deals go to die. they have been tagging them with satellite trackers. each year they leave european rivers and swim more than 3000 miles into the north atlantic where they breed once and then die. researchers say the discovery could help save critically endangered species. the time is 9.10. from the comedy caper of nuns on the run to the dark brilliance of the crime drama cracker — robbie coltrane, who died yesterday aged 72, seemed effortlessly perfect in a wide range of roles. younger viewers, however, will mainly know and love him for a single film character who was written with him in mind.

they scream sorry about that. i demand that you leave at once. you're breaking and entering! dry up, dursley, you great prune! unsurprisingly, social media has been flooded with tributes from robbie coltrane's fellow performers. emma watson, who played hermione granger in the harry potter films, paid tribute to the kindness he showed on set — and said it was robbie who made the cast feel like a family. another star of the harry potter films — warwick davies — called him a "beloved giant of comedy"

who brought warmth, light and laughter to any set he walked on to. the actor and comedian hugh laurie said he used to get lifts from robbie between manchester and london — and that he'd never laughed or learned so much in his life. reverend richard coles, the bbc radio 1! presenter, paid an unusual tribute — saying they'd once shared a dressing room and that robbie had "the biggest pants i'd ever seen — which he wore with tremendous flair". he said they went on to become lifelong friends. he isa he is a big guy, so big guy, big pants! we're joined now by the former england rugby player martin bayfield, who was robbie coltrane's stunt double in all seven of the harry potter films. i saw you chuckling along about the big pants. as his stunt double that may be something you know all about? i love the fact that after his death he is being remembered for the size

of his pants! that made me chuckle. tell us a bit about what you knew of him and particularly over time on the set you must have spent quite a bit of time with him. we the set you must have spent quite a bit of time with him.— bit of time with him. we spent a lot of time together _ bit of time with him. we spent a lot of time together and _ bit of time with him. we spent a lot of time together and it _ bit of time with him. we spent a lot of time together and it was - bit of time with him. we spent a lot of time together and it was an - of time together and it was an incredible time because, as everyone has said in their tributes, he was incredibly funny. but that's kind of a given, i guess. but what really struck you about him was his warmth and his generosity, and also he was incredibly mischievous as well. so any time spent with him was a lot of fun. the hours whizzed by, there was a lot of time just sat around waiting for things to happen. and you just enjoyed that time with robbie. he was great fun, very generous with his time and just a wonderful man. generous with his time and 'ust a wonderful mamfi wonderful man. how did you get involved with _ wonderful man. how did you get involved with being _ wonderful man. how did you get involved with being his - wonderful man. how did you get involved with being his stunt - wonderful man. how did you get - involved with being his stunt double command did you have two kind of get approvalfrom him? it command did you have two kind of get approvalfrom him?— approvalfrom him? it was a bizarre set of circumstances _ approvalfrom him? it was a bizarre set of circumstances that _ approvalfrom him? it was a bizarre set of circumstances that brought l approval from him? it was a bizarre i set of circumstances that brought me to the films. someone from warner

brothers saw me performing at an event and i got a phone call, would i like to try out? i ended up going to leave stunt to do a screen test and got the job. to leave stunt to do a screen test and got thejob. and of course to leave stunt to do a screen test and got the job. and of course with robbie what we had to do was convince everyone that the trick would work, that i could wear the costume, that i could look like him, he would look like me, and we did this screen test in front of the director and itjust this screen test in front of the director and it just worked. this screen test in front of the director and itjust worked. and robbie howled with laughter when he first saw me at seven feet six inches wearing the costume looking huge and he thought it was a great trick and it worked so well and it brought everything to life. hold on, ou are brought everything to life. hold on, you are six — brought everything to life. hold on, you are six feet _ brought everything to life. hold on, you are six feet ten _ brought everything to life. hold on, you are six feet ten inches, - brought everything to life. hold on, you are six feet ten inches, how - brought everything to life. hold on, you are six feet ten inches, how did they make you seven there was a big costume and some shoes that i won the animatronic head that i will. the idea was that it was physical so the young kids has something

physical to act to add back in 2000 when we first did it to cgi robbie into each scene would be hugely expensive so they got this idiot to come in and do it. but there was one moment which for me summed up robbie on the first film. because the children were so young, they obviously had to go to school while they were on set, and they couldn't work every single hour, so they had to have brakes. and we had just set “p to have brakes. and we had just set up for quite a big scene and one of the assistant director said we have to cut now, the kids have got to go to cut now, the kids have got to go to school. and robbiejust to cut now, the kids have got to go to school. and robbie just boomed out with very colourful language which i will not repeat, but the chaperones covered the children's years, he said, school, they don't need to go to school, they are all going to be millionaires! you could see the kids thinking that's quite a nice idea, i'd never thought about that. n. �* nice idea, i'd never thought about that. �* , , ,. that. martin, i'm presuming you must, that. martin, i'm presuming you must. like _ that. martin, i'm presuming you must, like all— that. martin, i'm presuming you must, like all the _ that. martin, i'm presuming you must, like all the rest _ that. martin, i'm presuming you must, like all the rest of - that. martin, i'm presuming you must, like all the rest of us, - that. martin, i'm presuming you. must, like all the rest of us, have grown up watching him on tv in those

amazing series, the comedy stuff earlier on and then cracker which kinda revolutionised the idea of police dramas. he was a criminologist, a psychologist. he criminologist, a psychologist. h9: really sort of set the benchmark for that kind of role. and i think we had been so used to seeing him in comedy, to see him in something like that was surprising. but you bought into it straightaway. and then the little cameo appearances that he made. in the blackadder series, the various characters he showed were just great fun. and you always knew if robbie coltrane was involved in something it was going to be good, whether it was drama, whether it was comedy, whatever it was it was going to be good. and so i feel very lucky that i spent a lot of time with him. and you knew that if you are going to spend time with him on set it would be time well spent. he was remarkable. it is no surprise that there has been this outpouring of love for him because he was a

tremendous man.— love for him because he was a tremendous man. martin, it is a lovely tribute. _ tremendous man. martin, it is a lovely tribute. thank _ tremendous man. martin, it is a lovely tribute. thank you - tremendous man. martin, it is a lovely tribute. thank you so - tremendous man. martin, it is a i lovely tribute. thank you so much. martin bayfield. a former international rugby player, of course. but a stand in for hagrid, robbie coltrane in the harry potter films, in all of them. it is so true what martin said. he was one of those actors you thought, if he's in something it's going to be worth watching could be as it has a stamp of something good about it. it is 9.17. if louise lear is in a weather forecast you know the weather is going to be... well, take your pick, we have thunder, lightning, sun, showers, everybody can say they are hedging their bets but we really have got it all bar the kitchen sink. this is northumberland at the moment. the reason i'm starting with this is because it is the rugby world cup. rugby league world cup starting today. yes, it might be pretty wet across north—east england at the

moment but it looks likely that the forecast is going to be spot on perfect for this afternoon, hopefully by the showers easing away, pretty blustery winds, i have to say, but nevertheless it will be pleasant enough, dry and sunny. for the rest of us, yes, we have wet weather around and it has been pretty heavy so far today. but that's going to start to push steadily north—east and then behind a real cluster of showers starting to develop. you can start to see the first signs of those. that is where the low pressure is, circulating around that low in an anticlockwise direction are these strong gusty south—west winds. so a blustery afternoon, plenty of squally showers on west facing coasts. some of them will drift further inland so they will drift further inland so they will not be exclusively out to the west, you might need to be prepared for a bit of everything this afternoon. the wind is gusting 30, 40 afternoon. the wind is gusting 30, 110 mph as well and so that means that in scotland and northern ireland it is going to be on the chilly side, round 10—12. ireland it is going to be on the chilly side, round 10—12 . we might see 17 where we get the best of the

sunshine. through the evening most of the showers across england and wales will tend to fade away and most of the showers in scotland will gradually drift their way northwards overnight. with some clearing skies temperatures falling to single figures first thing tomorrow morning but hopefully myjob will be a little bit easier tomorrow, a little bit less kitchen sink thrown at us, a bit more sunshine coming through generally on sunday from across england and. and eventually into northern ireland, central and southern scotland too. the just drifting back into the northern isles by the afternoon. by the end of the day, however, there is more wet and increasingly windy weather to come in the south—west but it should not spoil most of our sunday. largely fine and dry, and dry, and a degree or so warm as well with 18 degrees the hive. so this wet and windy weather will rattle through at quite a pace through sunday night into the early hours of monday morning. at the moment the timing of this front makes it a night—time feature. it really does push away quite quickly, so that leads us into

a relatively quiet start for the new working week, dry with some sunshine around, before wet and windy weather threatens particularly in the south—west later on the week. back to you. louise, thanks very much, see you later. the over 50s can get covid and flu jabs this morning if they have made an appointment. we can talk about this and the latest developments around covid and public health with our regular expert doctors chris smith and professor linda bauld. maybe we can start this morning in relation to covid—19 and the vaccination programme. i guess there is a danger that because of everything else that's going on and time is passing that people don't pay attention the way they did the first time around. tell us what is happening today. the first time around. tell us what is happening today-— happening today. the thing to remember — happening today. the thing to remember is _ happening today. the thing to remember is that _ happening today. the thing to remember is that the - happening today. the thing to | remember is that the vaccines happening today. the thing to - remember is that the vaccines still work and it's important people get them. people will see from the ons infection survey that we have seen a slight rise, i think about one in 37

people up to the beginning of october, we are estimated to have covid—19 command that's gone up in wales and england and kind of levelling off in northern ireland and scotland. the virus is still out there. there was a big study published involving some of my colleagues very recently in the lancet showing once again how effective the vaccines are, and particularly how effective the boosters are. this was the first boosters are. this was the first booster dose, and reducing the risk of admission to hospital quite significantly. so i think what we have seen so far, charlie, with this autumn campaign is really good uptake by the oldest age groups, and now people aged 50—6li are becoming eligible. we may say, well, here we go again, should i bother? but! think we do know that immunity wanes. i think there are about 12 million people in that age group in england alone and it's really important people come forward. the system aims to be convenient which is why you can go online and you can

book. in scotland we will be starting to offer the vaccine to people aged 50—6li from around the 24th of october, so we haven't started but we will very soon. goad started but we will very soon. good mornin: , started but we will very soon. good morning, chris. _ started but we will very soon. good morning, chris. there _ started but we will very soon. good morning, chris. there are - started but we will very soon. good morning, chris. there are lots of people who can't remember what happened, partly through loss, and partly through long covid but the mystery may have been solved? there are about 2-5 — mystery may have been solved? there are about 2.5 million _ mystery may have been solved? there are about 2.5 million people _ mystery may have been solved? there are about 2.5 million people in - mystery may have been solved? there are about 2.5 million people in the uk experiencing some semblance of what we _ uk experiencing some semblance of what we are dubbing long covid. this is a mysterious phenomenon that first began to emerge in early march in 2020 _ first began to emerge in early march in 2020 when we saw the first cases of coronavirus infection. increasing numbers— of coronavirus infection. increasing numbers of— of coronavirus infection. increasing numbers of people began to say in the aftermath, and for weeks afterwards they felt very unwell. well, _ afterwards they felt very unwell. well, in — afterwards they felt very unwell. well, in the recent days a paper has been _ well, in the recent days a paper has been published in the journal of the american _ been published in the journal of the american medical association which

about— how long. and the findings are that about 6% _ how long. and the findings are that about 6% of people who get coronavirus infection and severity of infection isn't necessarily a guide — of infection isn't necessarily a guide to — of infection isn't necessarily a guide to who is going to get this on you're _ guide to who is going to get this on you're more — guide to who is going to get this on you're more likely to get this if you're more likely to get this if you have — you're more likely to get this if you have a _ you're more likely to get this if you have a severe infection but 6% will get _ you have a severe infection but 6% will get it — you have a severe infection but 6% will get it. children are roughly at half the _ will get it. children are roughly at half the risk of adults and women are much— half the risk of adults and women are much more at risk of long covid mobo _ are much more at risk of long covid mobo paradoxically at much lower risk of— mobo paradoxically at much lower risk of severe coronavirus infection compared — risk of severe coronavirus infection compared to men overall. and about 85% of— compared to men overall. and about 85% of people, this is the good news, — 85% of people, this is the good news, 85% of people will be better within _ news, 85% of people will be better within about 12 months. but that still means there is 15% of people who catch — still means there is 15% of people who catch this new coronavirus who will potentially continue to suffer debilitating symptoms more than a year after— debilitating symptoms more than a year after they get infected. gk, year after they get infected. ok, linda, year after they get infected. ok, linda. let's _ year after they get infected. ok, linda, let's move _ year after they get infected. oi, linda, let's move the shortage of blood supplies. chris was talking about goodness and badness. the good news is that as a result of that call—out this week lots of people tried to give blood but the reason is because there is a critically low level of certain blood supplies. tell is a bit more. this

level of certain blood supplies. tell is a bit more.— tell is a bit more. this was an amber alert — tell is a bit more. this was an amber alert issued _ tell is a bit more. this was an amber alert issued by - tell is a bit more. this was an amber alert issued by the - tell is a bit more. this was an | amber alert issued by the nhs tell is a bit more. this was an i amber alert issued by the nhs i think on wednesday. really unusual for them to do that, showing that the supply of blood they have has gone down and they are concerned that they won't have enough. a blood can really only be stored depending on the blood product for a short period so it needs to be continually replenished. what i would emphasise is the uk isn't alone in experiencing this. earlier in the year the us, the centers for disease control and the health services in the us and also health canada issued an alert to say that blood supply is very low. the reasons are very common across countries, basically things slow down during the pandemic, maybe people were more reluctant to give blood when they had been doing so regularly, they got out of the habit, we didn't have all of the facilities and we have had staff shortages. so it's brilliant to see that people are coming forward, and in fact this is something that we study, it is called the gift relationship, richard titmus wrote about it in the

19705 richard titmus wrote about it in the 1970s and it is probably the best example we have of altruism. we are going along, we are not being paid, we are giving blood to help the nhs and help somebody else. but the alert is still there, i think it will be in place for about a month, so you can go onto blood .uk and you can find out how to donate and if you haven't donated before there are certain groups advise not to but the vast majority of people can over the age of 16 or 17, you can register online and i know the system is being a bit slow but it is freeing up being a bit slow but it is freeing up now and there are places you can go to give blood all around the country. it is something that the vast daugherty of us can do, when doing it for others and a bit like coming forward to take our vaccines, it is in this case it is for others' health, so it is a really key thing. chris, just briefly, we have to talk about what is going on in terms of ebola. lots of people would have heard about this outbreak. can you tell us what is happening and what is being done to tackle it?- is being done to tackle it? across this month _

is being done to tackle it? across this month an _ is being done to tackle it? across this month an outbreak— is being done to tackle it? across this month an outbreak of- is being done to tackle it? across this month an outbreak of ebola l is being done to tackle it? across i this month an outbreak of ebola has begun— this month an outbreak of ebola has begun to _ this month an outbreak of ebola has begun to be reported in uganda in central— begun to be reported in uganda in central africa. and although the numbers— central africa. and although the numbers at this stage are small compared — numbers at this stage are small compared with what we saw in 2014-2015, it is still compared with what we saw in 2014—2015, it is still very significant and it is with a strain of ebola — significant and it is with a strain of ebola called the sudan variant for which — of ebola called the sudan variant for which we currently have no approved _ for which we currently have no approved vaccine. there are vaccines being _ approved vaccine. there are vaccines being worked on, there are vaccines that look— being worked on, there are vaccines that look like they may work but they are — that look like they may work but they are not available yet. so the bil they are not available yet. so the big danger here is that because this is spreading and it is spreading beyond — is spreading and it is spreading beyond just where the outbreak occurred — beyond just where the outbreak occurred to other districts in uganda _ occurred to other districts in uganda that it could do what happened before in 2014 and exploit a poorly— happened before in 2014 and exploit a poorly resourced health system, the fact _ a poorly resourced health system, the fact we — a poorly resourced health system, the fact we have lots of people who live very _ the fact we have lots of people who live very close together in fairly poor— live very close together in fairly poor living conditions, and with porous— poor living conditions, and with porous borders to begin to spread much _ porous borders to begin to spread much more — porous borders to begin to spread much more widely. so the big concern is we _ much more widely. so the big concern is we are _ much more widely. so the big concern is we are going to see an outbreak unless— is we are going to see an outbreak unless we — is we are going to see an outbreak unless we jump on this quickly. the uk has _ unless we jump on this quickly. the uk has sent— unless we jump on this quickly. the uk has sent a significant amount of aid to— uk has sent a significant amount of aid to uganda to try to better
