in beijing, with president xi jinping due to start his speech shortly. delegates are expected to hand mr xi a third term as party chief. it paves the way for him to become the most powerful leader since mao zedong. the governor of the bank of england, andrew bailey, has spoken to the new chancellor, jeremy hunt, and says there was a clear meeting of minds on the importance of stability. now mr bailey has also warned of the possibility of higher interest rates ahead, more than previously expected. our business correspondent marc ashdown has this analysis. all smiles launching the mini—budget at the end of september. and with it a new political phrase — trussonomics, describing liz truss�*s vision for a high—growth, high—wage, low—tax economy.

but just three weeks later, her new chancellor has buried it. have you been given a clean slate? can you change elements of the mini—budget if you want to? yes, and the fundamental thing the prime minister wants me to do and i need to do is to be completely honest with the country. trussonomics reversed, then, tax cuts likely replaced with tax rises, huge investment replaced with a spending slowdown. this rethink has largely been driven by the turmoil in the financial markets since the mini—budget was announced. the pound has had a torrid time. the effective cost of government borrowing has soared, and the bank of england had to step in with an emergency programme, buying up government bonds to stabilise the pension sector. there is a pressing need, then, to restore some confidence and credibility. bank of england governor andrew bailey said he spoke to the new chancellor yesterday and had an immediate meeting of minds. but in a speech in washington, he had this warning on interest rates. we will not hesitate to raise interest rates to meet the inflation target. and as things stand today,

my best guess is that inflationary pressures will require a stronger response than we perhaps thought in august. the current base rate is 2.25%. investors are expecting a rise of up to one percentage point in november, to 3.25%. most mortgage offers are currently already around 6%, but a bigger rise in the base rate will affect the economy elsewhere. and even with a change of approach, the government's problems remain the same — how to find tens of billions of pounds to help people with their energy bills and make the sums add up. we're certainly looking at a really tough couple of years. we've got a very tough economic environment. we've got very stretched public finances. i think we're going to see some even further reversal of the tax cuts that we've had and, in addition, probably some very tight spending rounds. the first verdict will come when financial markets open next week. i don't expect a dramatic reversal, because the devil will be in the detail.

and when we find out the detail of the budget on 31 october, that'll be perhaps a more holistic judgement being made by financial markets. that's a fortnight away — a long time in the life of a chancellor. marc ashdown, bbc news. now on bbc news: our world. tv rain, russia's last remaining opposition tv station, was forced off air in march 2022. our world follows senior presenters trying to relaunch tv rain from exile. in march, russia's last independent tv station went off air. tv rain opposed russia's wore in ukraine and challenge the kremlin�*s began the machine. this narrative about massive

support of this war is false, so that's why they have killed us. the journalists of tv rain, including senior presenters katya and tikhon, were forced to flee the country. our world joins the power couple on their mission to relaunch the channel from exile. i'm scared to death. can they fight the kremlin? they believe their weapon is the truth. it's june 2022. with the war in ukraine, georgia's capital, tbilisi, has swelled with new arrivals. rock music plays. at this festival, ukrainian refugees mingle with russian emigres. among them, tikhon

dzyadko, from moscow. he's editor—in—chief of tv rain, russia's last independent tv channel. his wife is katya kotrikadze. she's tv rain�*s director of news. having escaped russia, tv rain and their colleagues have found temporary refuge in georgia. everyone here is united by their opposition to the war and their love for the festival headliners, okean elzy. this is a ukrainian band. they're fighting for the country, just like every ukrainian is. sometimes i feel that i'm more ukrainian than russian. i want people to understand that there are russians who are against this. katya and tikhon are russian tv personalities.

forfour months, tv rain has been off air. now, the plan is to relaunch the channel as quickly as possible. cheering and applause. when tv rain — dozhd in russian — launched in 2010, the channel offered a new, progressive vision of russia. founded by media entrepreneur natalya sindeyeva, its programming focused on lifestyle and culture. voiceover: dozhd. optimistic channel. but that soon changed. during this period of time,

tv rain has gone through the biggest events and biggest parts of russian history. in 2011, tv rain exclusively covered mass anti—government protests in moscow, while state media self—censored. then, in 2013, it broadcast ukraine's maidan uprising. if you want to follow what is happening in kyiv, you should watch dozhd. we had a lot — a lot of viewers. by contrast, kremlin—controlled media portrayed ukraine's revolution as a western—backed coup.

to stay on air, the channel switched to viewer subscriptions. it's getting more and more subscribers.

millions of people who watch youtube, not television, old—school. 0n 2a february, tikhon broke the news about russia's invasion of ukraine. the feeling was absolutely astonishing. like, you — gasps... you can't breathe. tv rain took a firm anti—war position. after the war has started, it became obvious that we were one of the biggest problems

in terms of informational war for moscow. we had 25 million views on youtube daily, which is a huge amount of people. this amount of people could show that this narrative about massive support of this war is false. so that's why they have killed us. meanwhile state media echoed the kremlin line that russia's invasion of ukraine was just a special military operation, not a war. then, president putin signed a law that could jail for up to 15 years anyone who questioned the war. this law was adopted specifically to get rid of anyone who would be against this government, openly and actively. 0n 1 march the kremlin

shut down tv rain�*s website. katya received a call from a journalist friend. he said, "grab your kids and leave the country". and i was absolutely dead on that moment. we understood that it's impossible to work in such conditions, and we decided to stop operations. when tv rain made its last broadcast from moscow on 3 march, katya and tikhon had already left the country. staff were wondering whether they would ever work together again.

since leaving russia, katya and tikhon have spent the last four months in tbilisi. katya was born here, but moved to moscow when she was ten. katya's mother was one of more than 200 people killed after bombs destroyed two

apartment blocks in moscow in september 1999. chechen militants were blamed for the attacks, but there were credible allegations russian security services planted the bombs to justify a war in chechnya and to assist vladimir putin's rise to power.

the memory of her mother inspired katya to pursue her career injournalism. there are a lot of theories about responsibility of vladimir putin and the fsb of russia. as a journalist i don't have evidence, but what i know about his policy and russian state policy is that they, they really want to forget about these people. i used to live in the united states. i remember every single year on 11 september what was going on there, how they remember — how they say every single name of the 3,000 people who died. i was trying to understand what's wrong with my country,

what is wrong with my president, and what's wrong with the whole 20—plus years of his presidency in russia, that my mum doesn't deserve to be remembered? before the channel's official relaunch, tikhon and katya have been producing their own new stream on youtube, with the help of georgia's formula tv. one of the main ideas of russian propaganda over these last 20—plus years is to make people not believe anyone.

when you listen to so many different versions, you think that there is no truth, because it could be anything.

this is one of the main parts of the mission that we have, to reach the guys who are actually pro—war. i think that there is a possibility to talk to them and it is one of the main things that we are working on right now is to find a tone of voice.

tikhon has called an important meeting for the staff worldwide. tv rain is due to relaunch, but not here in georgia — its new headquarters will be in riga, latvia, in the european union. many russians who have left the country oppose the war, but the channel must connect with those who have stayed behind.

the discussion turns to the question of language. while in georgia, katya has strived to give her children a sense of normality but once again, the family is preparing to move to latvia, the new home of tv rain. david is sure that this is something very temporary

and he's gonna be back to moscow soon, so, yeah. we are all very emotional. it's not easy to understand that it's gonna last for a long time. it's like my son, david, who thinks he's going to be back to school in a year, maximum. there are a lot of colleagues who are saving their hopes about going back to russia soon. if i accept this thought that i am in immigration and i'm staying in latvia or in europe for a while, and maybe for ten years or 20 years, then, i mean, it's gonna be harder to work, it's gonna be harder to fight. it's july 2022, riga. it's the day of tv rain�*s relaunch.

the family have been in latvia for only a week. with the support from latvia's tv3 group and independent financial backing, tv rain has a newsroom again.

a reunited team are discussing what will be in the first programme. laughter. what?

i am overexcited and i'm scared and i'm nervous. i know that tikhon will be absolutely perfect — he always is. i am praying for everything to be right. tv rain is streaming live on youtube — which, for now, is still available in russia.

already, tens of thousands are watching. we are not there. we are not on the ground. we need to find the way to be as honest, as professional as we were. it's a huge stress and a huge trauma for russians to understand, to acknowledge that their country right now is on the other side, that their country is an aggressor, actually. right now, the only thing that we can do is to spread information, fight propaganda,

put the facts in front of people. cheering. i don't want to be a part of a political fight. unfortunately, we are part of a political fight, but it's not our choice to be there. we just wanted to be journalists. our mission is to be there for russian citizens, for people who live in russia who want better russia. since its relaunch from latvia, tv rain�*s audience has grown. in september, 1a million viewers inside russia watched its content on youtube. i think tv rain can stop putin. i think citizens of

russia can stop putin. hello. the weekend started with plenty of showers, some heavy and thundery in places, gusty winds. as one area of low pressure begins to pull away from the uk, there'll be fewer showers around for part two of the weekend. for much of the uk for much of the day, it'll stay dry. this is that area of low pressure pulling away. however, this is another one moving in towards the south—west later in the day, so there will be

some wetter weather pushing north again by sunday evening. let's look at how sunday begins. there's still some showers around, especially in scotland — some heavy ones in the west. temperatures a little lower than this in rural parts. a cooler night across southern areas of the uk. the showers in scotland will tend to fade away and will still be around the northern isles in the afternoon. as you can see, though, elsewhere in the afternoon, for most places, it'll be dry, there'll be some sunny spells. cloud increasing in northern ireland and, indeed, southern england, south wales, so you could see a few showery bursts of rain heading in later in the afternoon and by evening, it'll be turning much wetter in northern ireland as this moves north. temperatures pretty much where they're going to be over the next few days — around 12 degrees in glasgow, 18 in london. very wet on sunday evening in northern ireland. we'll see some wet and windy weather pushing north across the uk overnight and into monday morning. the winds picking up again through irish sea and adjacent coasts and into western scotland with gales in places. a much milder night, especially across wales and england. closer to that area of low pressure on monday, it's northern ireland and northern england that could well see

some showers but it'll be scotland bearing the brunt of some heavy downpours once again. for much in england and wales in the afternoon, actually, it'll be dry, broken cloud and sunny spells and not as windy as it still will be across the northern half of the uk. temperatures on monday may well be a degree also higher in places. as we go into tuesday, this latest area of low pressure pulls away, then there's a ridge of high pressure settling things down. there is another area of low pressure, though, sitting to our south—west. and whilst on tuesday, most places are looking dry — just the odd shower here and there — cloud mayjust start to increase across eastern scotland, north east england. the breeze will pick up later towards the south—west, closer to that next area of low pressure, which will gradually, on wednesday, start to feed some outbreaks of rain in from the south—west, whereas many places will actually have another dry day but wetter weather becoming more widespread again towards the end of the week. that's your forecast. bye for now.

this is bbc news. welcome if you're watching here in the uk or around the globe. i'm lucy grey. our top stories: gunshots are heard after a huge fire breaks out at a prison in iran's capital, tehran. state media reports at least eight people are injured. this is the scene live in beijing as china's communist party congress gets under way. president xijinping is expected to secure a third term in power. as the uk's prime minister fights for herjob, the new chancellor signals he'll make major changes to her economic policy. we have some very difficult decisions ahead, difficult decisions on spending, which is not going to rise as much as people hope, and i'm going to be asking all government departments to find additional efficiency savings.
