9:01 am
report has just told uncomfortable truths and it has to be dealt with. air raid sirens sound in kyiv — officials say russia is using self—detonating drones to attack the ukrainian capital. good morning and welcome to bbc news. the new chancellorjeremy hunt is to deliver an emergency statement on the economy this morning, bringing forward measures a fortnight earlier than expected. it's expected there'll be a delay in the plan to cut the basic rate of income tax from 20p to 19p, that would be yet naother u—turn from the mini—statement that caused such turmoil on the financial markets. in an effort to calm those markets, the chancellor will bring
9:02 am
forward measures from the so—called �*medium—term fiscal plan�* — how he'll pay for the measures announced in the mini budget last month. yesterday he told the bbc that he was "not taking anything off the table" in terms of tax and spending. already on friday liz truss announced an £18 billion u—turn on scrapping an increase in corporation tax. the prime minister also sacked kwasi kwarteng as chancellor. so — what is it that the new chancellor might announce? a delay to cut the basic rate of income tax from 20p to 19p is expected. although, the cut to national insurance is expected to survive, as it has already very nearly passed through parliament. we also expect to hear more clarity on the extent of savings in public sector spending and the pressure on prime minister liz truss persists. yesterday, three tory back—benchers publicly called for her to stand down. the leader of the commons, penny mordaunt, who stood for the tory leadership, has called on conservative mps
9:03 am
to work with the prime minister. let's speak to susannah streeter, financial commentator and broadcaster from hargreaves lansdown. what are they doing? well certainly we have had — what are they doing? well certainly we have had a _ what are they doing? well certainly we have had a reduction _ what are they doing? well certainly we have had a reduction in - what are they doing? well certainly we have had a reduction in the - what are they doing? well certainly we have had a reduction in the uk. we have had a reduction in the uk government borrowing cost. those gilt yields have come down. this is significant because i think the reason why we have this budget brought forward to today was because, on friday, those borrowing costs were shooting up again and the pound had fallen back. even though the replacement of kwasi kwarteng by jeremy hunt was meant to instill confidence, didn't look as though that was happening on friday, then we have had, clearly, emergency talks over the weekend and now much more detail, the markets are expecting later when the budget statement is released. i think that means the government has now bought
9:04 am
itself more time, liz truss has bought herself more time by agreeing that this statement will be brought forward. but in its self it is another u—turn, because of course just on friday we were hearing that the statement wouldn't be moved, it would still be on the 31st of october, but it is all changing now in this moved to calm the markets, now it appears to be working. what now it appears to be working. what more do you _ now it appears to be working. what more do you think _ now it appears to be working. what more do you think the _ now it appears to be working. what more do you think the markets need to hear to reassure them?— to hear to reassure them? really much more _ to hear to reassure them? really much more detail— to hear to reassure them? really much more detail on _ to hear to reassure them? really much more detail on the - to hear to reassure them? really - much more detail on the government's plans. there is already expected to be a rolling back of the tax cuts programme, pushing back the cut of 1p programme, pushing back the cut of 1p in the basic rate of income tax, ip in the basic rate of income tax, there could be moves on that plan for tax reshuffling for tourists and even potentially in increasing the the 80s. this will —— in vat. they
9:05 am
will be waiting on more details of my spending will be cut as well. because unfortunately it looks like there was to be some black holes in there was to be some black holes in the government's finances and so we don't know exactly how much detail there will be on plans for spending cuts. this is a very tough time for so many businesses and consumers. but, the problem we saw is that interest rates really shut up the invitation is of interest rates to be high this year and they really shut up causing the extra pain for borrowing costs. what many will want to see, they will want them to see brought down or not go any higher and this is what this budget is all about. ., ~' , ., , and this is what this budget is all about. ., ~' ,, , . and this is what this budget is all about. . ~ ,, , . ., and this is what this budget is all about. ., ~ , . ., about. thank you very much for your anal sis. joining me now is out political correspondent, nick eardley. nick, welcome to you. what you make of the timing of all of this? it was only announced a few hours ago, 6am
9:06 am
this morning that the chancellor will be making this statement and talking to the media even before the statement? , ., , statement? yes, two things the chancellor _ statement? yes, two things the chancellor is _ statement? yes, two things the chancellor is trying _ statement? yes, two things the chancellor is trying to _ statement? yes, two things the chancellor is trying to do - statement? yes, two things the chancellor is trying to do this i chancellor is trying to do this morning, one is to calm the jitters in the markets and to try to make sure when we open this morning they knew something was coming. there has been for in the conservative party of the weekend, that if the markets didn't react posited that lead to the government, then it could be curtains for the pro—minister. i think the treasury will be looking at government debt, government borrowing i should say. although, let's look at what happens in the longer term. the second thing we translate trying to do is to try to calm his party down, there have been many conservative mps talking over the weekend about how long liz truss can survive as prime minister, exploring different ways they can bring her down. ithink exploring different ways they can bring her down. i think by saying
9:07 am
today, here is the outline of what we are trying to do, the government is trying to buy itself a bit of time. but that too is far from guaranteed to succeed because there are lots of conservative mps who might turn round and say, hold on, you are trying to stabilise the markets, you caused a lot of these problems in the first place. so it's an attempt this morning from the government to buy itself a bit of breathing space, but the situation in the political world, in the conservative party, even in the government itself, pretty precarious. government itself, pretty precarious-_ government itself, pretty recarious. �* ,., government itself, pretty recarious. �* ~ , precarious. and we saw three mps come out yesterday _ precarious. and we saw three mps come out yesterday and _ precarious. and we saw three mps come out yesterday and called - precarious. and we saw three mps come out yesterday and called for| come out yesterday and called for liz truss to go. overnight, how things shifted even more? i wouldn't sa so, things shifted even more? i wouldn't say so. no. — things shifted even more? i wouldn't say so. no. i — things shifted even more? i wouldn't say so, no, i don't _ things shifted even more? iwouldn't say so, no, i don't think— things shifted even more? i wouldn't say so, no, i don't think the - things shifted even more? i wouldn't say so, no, i don't think the mood i say so, no, i don't think the mood has changed decisively. i wouldn't be surprised surprised if you see more mps break up and say the prime minister needs to think about her position. i suspect a lot of them will be waiting to see what happens when we hear from the chancellor later this morning and then when he
9:08 am
addresses parliament this afternoon on his broad outline of his economic strategy. that will be a big moment, because it's effectively the new chancellor, who has been in post for 72 hours, coming in and completely shredding the whole strategy of the prime minister, saying, tax cuts, funded by borrowing, are not going to happen, spending that the government was planning is not going to happen in the same way. there are huge questions over everything that liz truss stands for everything she fought for over the summer in the conservative leadership campaign. and because of that there is almost two pressure is on her this morning, there are those who never liked her, didn't want her to be prime minister, saying, we told you so, this has been a disaster, there are those who believed in her who are now saying, we have lost the argument, this has gone disaster in.
9:09 am
some things its uneconomic strategy which was wrong the first place, but to me that suggest a prime minister who has really going to struggle to win back any sort of authority, any sort of ability to be on the front foot. because of that it's not hard to find conservative mps who say to you privately, even if they will not say it publicly, they think it is a matter of when and not if she is forced to stand down.— matter of when and not if she is forced to stand down. welcome to our next guest. what is your analysis of him having markets have reacted? i your analysis of him having markets have reacted?— your analysis of him having markets have reacted? i think the movements of havin: have reacted? i think the movements of having quite _ have reacted? i think the movements of having quite favourable. _ have reacted? i think the movements of having quite favourable. we - have reacted? i think the movements of having quite favourable. we have l of having quite favourable. we have seen the cost of government borrowing come down from the very high levels it reached over the last few weeks and we have seen the pounds are to recover. so i think the market impact so far has been positive and i imagine that will build when we get the chance in a statement this morning and this afternoon. ~ ., ., statement this morning and this afternoon. . . ., ~ , afternoon. what are the markets need

9:11 am
statements he has been making over recent days, the greater commitments to things like the old br forecast and institutional norms, i think that has helped. hopefully were missing the statement today i think that will improve further. share missing the statement today i think that will improve further.— that will improve further. are the markets punishing _ that will improve further. are the markets punishing the _ that will improve further. are the markets punishing the political. markets punishing the political uncertainty and as much as the economic uncertainty? i uncertainty and as much as the economic uncertainty?- uncertainty and as much as the economic uncertainty? i think so. the markets _ economic uncertainty? i think so. the markets are _ economic uncertainty? i think so. the markets are irrational- the markets are irrational calculating machines, they are composed of individuals with biases, prone to overshooting, prone to sawing in one direction or another. that said, it's the markets that determine the cost of the government borrowing on the value of the pound. so political and economic ability needed to ensure that we don't see the kind of dramatic swings we have seen of the recent weeks. find the kind of dramatic swings we have seen of the recent weeks.— seen of the recent weeks. and we took about _ seen of the recent weeks. and we took about markets, _ seen of the recent weeks. and we took about markets, it _ seen of the recent weeks. and we took about markets, it sounds - seen of the recent weeks. and we | took about markets, it sounds like seen of the recent weeks. and we i took about markets, it sounds like a sort of amorphous thing, but it impacts on all of our lives, doesn't it? {lint impacts on all of our lives, doesn't it? . ., , ., impacts on all of our lives, doesn't it? _, , ., ., ~ impacts on all of our lives, doesn't it? , ., ., it? of course. you take the cost of government _ it? of course. you take the cost of government borrowing, _ it? of course. you take the cost of government borrowing, that - it? of course. you take the cost of government borrowing, that feeds into interest rates we pay on mortgages, personal debt, which has
9:12 am
a big bearing on the consumer spending side of the economy and it also affects what the bank of england does in terms of its interest rate decisions. i think another upside of it sister element is that the bank might nowjudge it does need to raise interest rates as aggressively as it previously thought and that will help to bring down mortgage rates we have seen recently. irate down mortgage rates we have seen recentl . ~ ., ., recently. we saw from the governor ofthe recently. we saw from the governor of the itank — recently. we saw from the governor of the itank of _ recently. we saw from the governor of the bank of england _ recently. we saw from the governor of the bank of england that - recently. we saw from the governor of the bank of england that he - of the bank of england that he thought they would have to go further, so you think the bank of england might reverse that now? i think they will have to raise them a little bit, but no where near as aggressively as i financial markets are expected at the moment. the fact we are going to see tax rises rather than tax cuts will slow the economy further, it is already probably going to fall into recession over the next few months, so although interest rates will rise in november, i don't think they will increase as aggressively as anyone predicted recently.— we can speak now to katy balls, deputy political editor
9:13 am
of the spectator. what a morning, what a weekend, hour ljy what a morning, what a weekend, hour by hour things are shifting, what are you hearing from your sources in westminster? aha, are you hearing from your sources in westminster?— westminster? a lot of uncertainty which seems _ westminster? a lot of uncertainty which seems to _ westminster? a lot of uncertainty which seems to be _ westminster? a lot of uncertainty which seems to be the _ westminster? a lot of uncertainty which seems to be the theme - westminster? a lot of uncertainty which seems to be the theme of l westminster? a lot of uncertainty i which seems to be the theme of the past few weeks and perhaps liz truss's premiership, in the sense that we have had over the weekend lots of mps publicly, anonymously, saying the end is nigh for liz truss. but yesterday's jeremy hunt, the statement at 11am, per chancellor will try to check on the market. i think you can and obviously we are hearing there are some encouraging signs this morning, that does help liz truss in the short term to suggest that her government is the most able option compared to the uncertainty of the tories fighting over another leader. but we need to see whatjeremy hunt is going to announce, how popular it is going to announce, how popular it is going to be and, again, we still have the fact that liz truss looks as though she is in office but not really in power to make the key
9:14 am
decisions so all very messy still. and of course the chancellor has had hours to come up with this plan save the government and the country? yes. the government and the country? yes, i think the the government and the country? yes, i think the fact — the government and the country? yes, | think the fact that — the government and the country? ya: i think the fact that jeremy hunt i think the fact thatjeremy hunt has felt this needed to bring forward so quickly shows the level of concern in downing street and the treasury about the market response and about the state of the uk finances. as you say, you have jeremy hunt meeting the prime minister yesterday, thrashing out various agreements, jeremy hunt is leading that is part of the agreement when he accepted the role. if we are heading to tax rises, spending cuts, those are all potentially politically unpopular measures, also lots of liz truss's backers, they wanted mass tax cuts. it's a question of what helps things in the short term and what is it sustainable in the medium. what in the short term and what is it sustainable in the medium. what does that look like — sustainable in the medium. what does that look like for _ sustainable in the medium. what does that look like for liz _ sustainable in the medium. what does that look like for liz truss, _ sustainable in the medium. what does that look like for liz truss, what - that look like for liz truss, what about her time? i that look like for liz truss, what about her time?—
9:15 am
that look like for liz truss, what about her time? i think speaking to to mps, about her time? i think speaking to tory mps. darryl — about her time? i think speaking to tory mps, darryl who _ about her time? i think speaking to tory mps, darryl who were - about her time? i think speaking to l tory mps, darryl who were predicting that this week and next week there will be a move to move to try to oust liz truss from number ten. the rules would have to be changed, that will involve the 1922 committee, as technically she say for a year. what is quite striking is that this morning you have some more, coming out and some from the one nation wing, they have been encouraged by jeremy hunt, suggesting there was not the time to move yet. therefore i think liz truss, ultimately, this week need to have the opposite of her week last week where she made things worse with a tricky address to tory mps, that press conference on friday, very short, just added to concerns about her communication skills. i think liz truss needs to show she has made a decision in the country cosmic interest and has things under control also if it looks very chaotic, if it doesn't work with the markets, then i don't think she has very much a chance at all. i think a best chances to show that. even then, the problem she has is mps backed out because of delivery of low taxes, not because
9:16 am
they thought she was the best communicator. so if you remove that part of the agenda, what is the point in the long turn of this government and that is the question mps are asking. i think it's harder for them to answer this. then mps are asking. i think it's harder for them to answer this.— mps are asking. i think it's harder for them to answer this. then if the answer is. — for them to answer this. then if the answer is. they _ for them to answer this. then if the answer is, they don't _ for them to answer this. then if the answer is, they don't want - for them to answer this. then if the answer is, they don't want her, - answer is, they don't want her, well, who wrote replace and how do they go about it? i well, who wrote replace and how do they go about it?— they go about it? i think this is they go about it? i think this is the other thing _ they go about it? i think this is the other thing which - they go about it? i think this is the other thing which is - they go about it? i think this is l the other thing which is probably helping liz truss in terms of position which is the party is so divided in terms of who should succeed liz truss. i think you could have a situation where things are so bad, if you think about the labour pollen from the tory perspective, economic uncertainty, that they ultimately decide to move and worry later about what comes next. when it comes to the candidates, rishi sunak is talked about someone who could calm the markets, there is lots of figures in the party, borisjohnson, more who regard him with suspicion, do not want rishi sunak to lead, ben wallace, the defence secretary is a potential unifier, but he still has internal opponents and he didn't run last time. some say, he didn't run last time. some say, he didn't run last time, why would he do so this
9:17 am
time? therefore you also have those who did go for it, penny mordaunt, suella braverman, but with the party wanting to take a chance not right now and someone who has less experience, is potentially an unknown, and then of course there is borisjohnson, but i think any talk of him being revived i think for now thatis of him being revived i think for now that is not one of the more likely option is speaking to mps. he has been remarkably _ option is speaking to mps. he has been remarkably quiet _ option is speaking to mps. he has been remarkably quiet of- option is speaking to mps. he has been remarkably quiet of late, - been remarkably quiet of late, hasn't he? rated up to you thank you. the headlines on bbc news... the new chancellor — jeremy hunt — will announce more u—turns to the controversial mini—budget this morning — and deliver a key statement on the economy a fortnight earlier than planned. a damning report into the metropolitan police finds hundreds of officers have been getting away with breaking the law and misconduct. air raid sirens sound in kyiv — officials say russia is using self—detonating drones to attack the ukrainian capital.
9:18 am
officials in the ukrainian capital, kyiv, say the city has been attacked by so—called kamikaze drone weapons. there have been at least three explosions in the ukrainian capital, kyiv, this morning, at least two of them close to the heart of the city. the government says the attacks were conducted by russian forces using drones recently supplied by iran. people ran for safety and buildings were damaged. it comes a week after russia launched missiles on cities across the country, including kyiv. we'll hear from our correspondent in kyiv later in the hour. officers in britain's largest police force are "getting away with breaking the law and committing misconduct and hundreds should be sacked". that's the conclusion of a new report which also found the metropolitan's police internal disciplinary system is racist and misogynist. met police commissioner, sir mark rowley, says he's appalled by the findings. our special correspondent lucy manning reports. how could a police officer kidnap, rape and kill?
9:19 am
it was sarah everard's murder by metropolitan police officer wayne couzens that shocked the country, that made people ask, how could the police be trusted? in the aftermath of sarah everard's murder, baroness louise casey was asked to investigate the met. can it police its own? the answer is no. she found misconduct cases take too long to resolve — on average, more than a year. nearly 60% of cases end without any action taken, especially sexual misconduct and discrimination allegations. there is systemic racial bias with black and asian officers more likely to be accused of misconduct. too few officers who should be removed for gross misconduct have been, and officers with repeated patterns of unacceptable behaviour aren't identified. i have found in their internal misconduct system that it's not good enough, it's not quick enough and it has racial disparity and the force needs to accept that.
9:20 am
the whole force needs to accept it. they mustn't deny it and they mustn't look to find that i've somehow got my homework wrong. the new metropolitan police commissioner says he's appalled and angry, but it's clear these issues aren't new. i'm so angry about how we've let so many people down. what you read about what women and non—white officers are suffering in the organisation, it's disgraceful, our feebleness in our response to that, and i apologise to them that we've let them down so badly and i apologise to the public for what that means for them as well. when two police officers take photos with the dead bodies of murdered sisters nicole smallman and bibaa henry then share them with colleagues, when police officers, mainly based at charing cross police station, send messages thatjoke about rape, domestic violence and racism, it's clear failing to deal internally with dangerous officers has put the people they serve, the public, at risk. lucy manning, bbc news.
9:21 am
so as we've just heard in that report two met police officers were jailed after sharing photographs of sisters — bibaa and nicole — following their murder. nicole smallman and bibaa henry's mum mina smallman spoke to my colleagues on breakfast. ms smallman gave her reaction to the policing report. one of the things that the report says is that none of these items are new. they've been known about and they've not been handled. that's why it's been allowed to escalate to the level of, you know, lto—odd police officers on the whatsapp group that the photographs of our girls were on. but also wayne couzens, he had exposed himself twice. and i've said over and over again, i want to know who it was that spoke to him. and i think people think that's
9:22 am
a rhetorical question. it isn't. who was it that said, "you can carry on working?" it's those kind of acts that accelerate and enable misconduct. and i feel terrible for sarah's family today, to hear that that person could have been stopped in his tracks if there wasn't this kind of, "we'll let it slide, "because you're one of us." mina, your daughters were killed in 2020, the most unimaginable loss for people who are probably sitting at home watching you this morning. yeah. to have to go through that, to survive that, and now to read the information that we now have about what has been going on and what was going on at the time, how did you feel when you read the parts of this report that you know about already?
9:23 am
how was that for you? you know, it was affirming. i hope i've tried to be measured. i hope i've spoken about the aspects of the police and our story that were amazing, but actually the level of the corruption, we've known for some time. you know, the macpherson report, there is nothing new that has come out of here. what's happened this time is the report has just told uncomfortable truths and it has to be dealt with. and sadly, my experience has enabled me to be able to research and find outjust how prevalent this behaviour is. and currently, the iopc is holding on to several very disturbing incidents that have been investigated.
9:24 am
but that's just the tip of the iceberg. you know, the statute of limitation needs to be changed for these cases to be dealt with how they should have been dealt with in the first place. at the moment, the disciplinary procedure is done in—house. there needs to be a different system in place, including vetting. and if we're going to have a mass exodus of the rot, i'm really pleased about that. but we're going to need to ensure that who they're replaced with are good people who want to be part of a force to protect us from the bad people. mina smallman talking to my colleaguesjon kay and sally nugent. the manchester united footballer mason greenwood is due to appear in court today charged
9:25 am
with attempted rape, engaging in controlling behaviour and assault. our reporter rowan bridge gave the background from outside manchester magistrates�* court this morning. mason greenwood was charged with three offences, all relating to the same woman. he was charged with attempted rape engaging in controlling and coercive behaviour and assault causing actual bodily harm. the offences relate to a four—year period running between november 2018 to october 2022. given the high—profile nature of mason greenwood as a premier league footballer, the crown prosecution service who were the one who authorised the charges against him, also issued a statement at the same time pointing that he was entitled to a fair trial and warning it was extremely there should be no reporting commentary or sharing of information online which could prejudice those proceedings. clearly they're worried about people taking social media and commenting ahead of any court case.
9:26 am
we will have more on the political situation unfolding in westminster here on bbc news, as we are getting that emergency statement from the new chancellorjeremy hunt this afternoon in the house of commons. obviously he is going to be talking to the media ahead of that in an effort to calm the markets, reassure the markets, which we have seen a positive reaction from so far today after the comments from him over the weekend and the bank of england have also stopped buying their emergency gilts that has all calmed down for now. at the government will want to see is that its longer term reassurance for the markets. we will have plenty more on that, so do stay with us. now it's time for a look at the weather with matt. good morning to you. wet start to the daybed mild for many of you.
9:27 am
blue skies on the way if they are not already with you, a much a sunny afternoon across most parts. let's show the radar chart, what has been happening, that has gone and... then across the south and northern parts of scotland. that is going to be working its way northwards towards shetland. a few showers across scotland and northern ireland, is in everyone's on the west, some sunshine in between, rain clears away from the south—east by the late morning and then it's an afternoon of sunshine, lots of sunshine across england and wales and with light winds across the south, feeling pleasantly warm 18—19. strong winds across parts of the irish sea, northern england and scotland, but the easter night, staying windy in the easter night, staying windy in the far north of scotland but a few showers around but with lighter winds and clear skies elsewhere, if you mist and fog patches and the coldest night of the week, particularly across rural parts of england and wales, could see a touch of pressure tomorrow morning pulled up of pressure tomorrow morning pulled up a sunny but frosty star to some of you tomorrow and a fine day ahead, sunniest day of the week and, if you isolated showers, the far north and north—east, bit more cloud
9:28 am
9:29 am
hello this is bbc news. the headlines... the new chancellorjeremy hunt will announce more u—turns to the controversial mini—budget this morning, and deliver a key statement on the economy a fortnight earlier than planned. a positive response from the markets this morning — they've reopened after emergency support from the bank of england was withdrawn on friday. liz truss will address conservative mps today in an effort to shore up her leadership. three tory back benchers have already called for her to go. a damning report into the metropolitan police finds hundreds of officers have been getting away with breaking the law and misconduct. air raid sirens sound in kyiv — officials say russia is using self—detonating drones to attack the ukrainian capital.
9:30 am
sport and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre, here's holly. liverpool put their recent struggles behind them as mo salah scored the only goal to seal a 1—0 victory over champions manchester city. but that was only half the story. city boss pep guardiola wasn't happy with this. phil foden had put his side ahead but var spotted a foul by erling haaland in the buildup so it was disallowed. and it remained goalless until this ball from the liverpool keeper allison found salah who made it 1—0 with 1a minutes remaining. cue a tense end to the game. so much so that whenjurgen klopp saw what he felt was a foul on salah, he got sent off for protesting by referee anthony taylor. i actually don't know what role we have here but we can only watch and have to accept what they do. and in that moment, yeah, i snapped, so, my fault.
9:31 am
but i think, i hope we agree, and match of the day have enough time to look at that situation and maybe somebody finds an explanation, that was not a foul. to add to the tension, pep guardiola alerted staff to members of the anfield crowd throwing coins at him. it happened after that foden goal was disallowed. guardiola wasn't exactly happy — this is what he had to say. next time, next time we'll do it better. so didn't get me. they try again next year. they're always going to try but they didn't get it. so, they got it in the coach but not that time. so, liverpool say they've now opened an investigation into that incident and have also condemned what they describe as vile chanting from the city fans. they say...
9:32 am
well, arsenal will have been happy with that defeat for manchester city. they'e four points clear at the top, after beating leeds 1—0. bukayosaka scored the only goal in a game that was delayed due to a powercut — his fourth in three matches for arsenal. patrick bamford did have the chance to level things up later for the hosts later from the spot but could not convert. two mason mount goals handed graham potter his third straight win as chelsea manager, as his side beat aston villa 2—0. there were boos at the final whistle for stephen gerrard though with villa fans not happy at their start to the season. they are just one point above the relegation zone. scotland suffered a heavy defeat in their opening match against italy in the rugby league world cup. they were favourites heading into the game but italy were too strong on the day. jake maizen scored
9:33 am
the tournament's first hat—trick in impressive fashion. scotland did pull a try back through lachlan walmsley but it was a mere consolation as the match finished 28—4. ireland had a better afternoon, they comfortably beat debutants jamaica 48—2 with a ten try victory. toby king had the pick of the tries. scotland have made a winning start to their t20 world cup campaign in australia with an impressive victory over west indies in the initial group stage. west indies were heavy favourites going into the match but scotland produced a fantastic bowling display, after setting their opponents a target of 161. george munsey was unbeaten on 66. and then mark watt took 3 wickets as scotland bowled west indies out forjust 118. ireland play zimbabwe later this morning.

great britain finished the world track cycling championships with three gold medals, the third of which was provided by neah evans in the points race. she needed to win the final sprint of the event to secure the first individual world title of her career, at the age of 32. that successes follows on from the team pursuit silver that she helped great britain to win earlier in the week. yeah, i mean, definitely the icing on the cake. that's all the sport for now. we're going to get the latest from ukraine now because there were three big explosions in the capital kyiv this morning. people ran to the shelters after air raid sirens went off, and ukraine officials are saying that these were attacks by kamikaze drones that were recently acquired by russia from iran. let's get more from our correspondent hugo bachega who is in kyiv.
9:35 am
we had an update saying full explosions were reported this morning, the first explosions happened after 6:30am in the morning. one of them was very close to our hotel here in the city centre, then two hours later to my explosions. there are reports of residential buildings that have been attacked, hit, in these attacks, and now we are getting reports that one person has been confirmed killed, as a result of these attacks. the authorities here say that pressure used so—called kamikaze drones that have been provided by the iranians to the russians in these attacks today. these are drones that russia has been using across the country to target civilian sides, civilian infrastructure, and again it seems that today one of the targets of the target of those attacks were

civilian sites and civilian instructor —— civilian infrastructure. instructor -- civilian infrastructure. �* ., ., , instructor -- civilian infrastructure. ~ �* ., ., , ., infrastructure. we've got images of these drones _ infrastructure. we've got images of these drones with _ infrastructure. we've got images of these drones with civilians - infrastructure. we've got images of these drones with civilians trying i these drones with civilians trying to show —— shoot them down, you can just describe it a bit about how they work, what we know about them. yes, so those are drones, they explode on impact, so that is why they are called kamikaze drones, they are called kamikaze drones, they don't return to the points from where they had been sent. and the russians have been using those drones to attack sites across the country. the air defence systems here have managed to intercept many of them, but as we have seen this morning, many of them have managed to penetrate through the air defence systems and hit their targets, and we are hearing already officials here in ukraine are saying that the country needs more help from western countries, in terms of air defence capabilities. they say that this is the kind of technology, this is the kind of capability they need to
9:37 am
protect cities and towns across the country from the threat posed not only by russian missiles but also by these dries that have been supplied by the iranians to the russians. —— these are drones. by the iranians to the russians. -- these are drones.— these are drones. according to the ma or of these are drones. according to the mayor of kyiv. _ these are drones. according to the mayor of kyiv, one _ these are drones. according to the mayor of kyiv, one person - these are drones. according to the mayor of kyiv, one person has - these are drones. according to the l mayor of kyiv, one person has been killed in russian strikes today so far. i guess these are drones, these shift in how the russians are dealing with the situation fighting this war, must be striking even more fear into the hearts of people in the capital across the country? yes. the capital across the country? yes, the capital across the country? yes, the ukrainians _ the capital across the country? yes, the ukrainians have _ the capital across the country? yes, the ukrainians have been _ the capital across the country? 123 the ukrainians have been saying that this is how russia is responding to military defeats on the battlefield, by stepping up attacks on civilian sites and civilian infrastructure. a number of power stations, electricity, transmission lines being hit in recent weeks, and this is happening ahead of winter, and the authorities are warning residents that the next few months will be tough. residents have been told to save electricity at peak
9:38 am
times because of the damage that has been caused to the electricity infrastructure in this country. we are seeing now that the russians are using more these drones to attack civilian sites and civilian infrastructure. obviously, what happened to date came a week after those missile strikes across the country, including here in the capital kyiv, which affected, perhaps, the sense of relative safety that many people felt here in this city, and again today civilian sites, civilian areas of this capital being attacked during the morning rush—hour and nowi capital being attacked during the morning rush—hour and now i think people are going to be paying attention to the use of drones, of those drones by russian forces as these attacks continue. hugo those drones by russian forces as these attacks continue.— these attacks continue. hugo in k iv, these attacks continue. hugo in kyiv. thank _ these attacks continue. hugo in kyiv. thank you _ these attacks continue. hugo in kyiv, thank you for _ these attacks continue. hugo in kyiv, thank you for the - these attacks continue. hugo in kyiv, thank you for the update | kyiv, thank you for the update there. the chancellor is to make an emergency statement on his tax and spending plans later this morning, to try to calm the financial markets. jeremy hunt will set out billions
9:39 am
of pounds of savings two weeks earlier than scheduled. a delay in the plan to cut the basic rate of income tax to 19 pence is expected, but it's thought the cut to national insurance will survive. now, for more on our leading story today and the latest on market movement, i'm nowjoined by victoria scholar who is the head of investment at the investment platform, interactive investor. victoria, good morning, good to see you, what is your analysis of how the markets have moved and reacted so far today?— so far today? well, we are seeing a aeneral so far today? well, we are seeing a general positive _ so far today? well, we are seeing a general positive market _ so far today? well, we are seeing a general positive market reaction i general positive market reaction over role, we are seeing the pound gained against the us dollar, we are seeing gilt yields push lower so we are seeing a bit of a rally in that government borrowing market as well, and in the ftse 100 government borrowing market as well, and in the ftse100 is holding up 0k. and in the ftse100 is holding up ok. we are seeing some of those sectors that were highly sensitive to the many budget like the house—builders and utilities staging games, while the uk exporters, which tend to suffer when the pound moved higher, because it makes their goods
9:40 am
less competitive, those are at the bottom of the ftse100, the likes of coca—cola and diageo, but the general sense in the market is that it is welcoming the arrival of the new chancellorjeremy hunt, and also the fact that his fiscal plans have been expedited, and we are going to hearfrom him on tax been expedited, and we are going to hear from him on tax and been expedited, and we are going to hearfrom him on tax and spending today, ratherthan hearfrom him on tax and spending today, rather than having to wait until the 31st of october. what today, rather than having to wait until the 31st of october. what do ou think until the 31st of october. what do you think the _ until the 31st of october. what do you think the markets _ until the 31st of october. what do you think the markets need i until the 31st of october. what do you think the markets need to i until the 31st of october. what do | you think the markets need to hear to give longer term stability? mellie to give longer term stability? well, i think the real _ to give longer term stability? well, i think the real focus _ to give longer term stability? well, i think the real focus here - to give longer term stability? well, i think the real focus here is - to give longer term stability? 2ii i think the real focus here is that there isn't going to be major financial contagion, he needs to show that he is an mp who is focused on fiscal discipline, rather than unfunded tax cuts which is what we heard from his predecessor kwasi kwarteng, so any reduction in taxes needs to be accompanied by reductions in spending, which is why jeremy hunt said over the weekend that he will be looking across government departments —— departments vossi in order to afford these tax reductions. i think we are
9:41 am
also going to see some possible u—turns on those tax plans, like you said, the 1p reduction to income tax is likely to be pushed out by another year, essentially because the government can't afford it right now and it doesn't want to rely on more and more borrowing because that is what caused the mayhem in the bond market and could have caused much bigger contagion across pension funds and into the wider economy. from a personal perspective, how has yourjob been for the past few weeks? are you up all night worrying and reacting to the markets pretty much how does it actually work? well, it has been a very busy time for us. we have had a lot of questions asking us what is going on because the government borrowing market is quite a complex financial market is quite a complex financial market to understand. i think a lot of people have got to grips with the stock market of the currency markets but the bond market is a little bit more complicated. but essentially it is tied into what we have seen in terms of the government's borrowing
9:42 am
plans, but for us financial markets have been very, very volatile this year, that is because we have seen a huge revival in inflation post—pandemic, and then with the war in ukraine, that has exacerbated price levels and it has. the bank of england and other central banks to have to raise interest rates which is something that stock market in particular don't necessarily like, so it has been a very, very challenging year for investors, but there is a hope that as we head towards next year, investments will pick up. towards next year, investments will ick u, :, towards next year, investments will --icku. ., ., ., ,,, pick up. good to get your analysis, thank ou pick up. good to get your analysis, thank you for— pick up. good to get your analysis, thank you forjoining _ pick up. good to get your analysis, thank you forjoining us. _ over the weekend, three tory mps publicly voiced doubt that liz truss could survive as pm. one of those was crispin blunt, a former conservative minister and mp for reigate, whojoins me now. you were the first to call for her to go, why? it you were the first to call for her to so. why?— you were the first to call for her toao,wh? ,, to go, why? it is blindingly obvious that her position _ to go, why? it is blindingly obvious that her position now— to go, why? it is blindingly obvious that her position now is _ to go, why? it is blindingly obvious that her position now is untenable. the appointment ofjeremy hunt has
9:43 am
begun to repair some of the damage and we had seen accelerated plans that he is going to deliver this morning gaining market confidence, and that is part of but not a completion of the necessary change we need to make in the presentation of the government to the markets, the country, and the media, to regain people's confidence, and we can deliver sound money and sound administration. that is going to need a change of feminist as well. penny mordaunt, jeremy hunt have called for party unity, for mps such as yourself to get behind the prime minister, doesn't she deserve that? well, i think minister, doesn't she deserve that? well, ithink it minister, doesn't she deserve that? well, i think it is plainly obvious to everyone, including all commentators, and 91% of the public that don't have confidence in her, and if your confidence levels as a prime minister are in single figures, the position is frankly retrievable. and we don't have time between now and over the next two
9:44 am
years to waste in seeing if we can repair liz as our prime minister and as our party leader so that she can command the confidence of the public, we need to make a change, we need to deliver sound money and sound administration, and get on with the greater gender with difficult and complicated changes and regulations to try and address the gross paradox we have got, all of that is difficult and complicated and it's going to need to carry confidence, and we need a chief minister and a spokesman who can address the public in a way that is credible. , �* ., . ., ., credible. isn't the chancellor doing that? she has _ credible. isn't the chancellor doing that? she has brought _ credible. isn't the chancellor doing that? she has brought this - credible. isn't the chancellor doing that? she has brought this person| that? she has brought this person in, she has said that they are now in, she has said that they are now in lockstep so she is thereby acknowledging that her economic policies are out of the window and new ones are coming in so she is reassuring the party, she is reassuring the party, she is reassuring the party, she is reassuring the markets, isn't she? well, when she speaks to you, does
9:45 am
she carry crediting with you? and the problem is that if the principal emotional reaction to your premises speaking is either content or anger, then we have got a real problem, and we do have a real problem, and colleagues know that and we now have to effect a change that is as rapid and orderly as possible to get to a presentation of the government and the extraordinary circumstances we find ourselves in that can begin to repair the confidence that is needed in the government. can repair the confidence that is needed in the government.— in the government. can the party survive more _ in the government. can the party survive more uncertainty, - in the government. can the party survive more uncertainty, more i survive more uncertainty, more change? if you were to get rid of her, how would a new leader be elected and wooden the public deserve to have a general election because a new leader wouldn't have a mandate from the public? we because a new leader wouldn't have a mandate from the public?— mandate from the public? we have a parliamentary _ mandate from the public? we have a parliamentary system _ mandate from the public? we have a parliamentary system so _ mandate from the public? we have a parliamentary system so as - mandate from the public? we have a parliamentary system so as long i mandate from the public? we have a parliamentary system so as long as l parliamentary system so as long as there is a majority in parliament to sustain the government, then the government gets a turn of up to five years, a term. there are more than
9:46 am
two years of this parliament to run and in that time, the conservative government and the conservative team can get its act together, but the opportunity is now, and if we do so it will mean that the labour party's alternative proposition can then be properly examined before the next election, and what we ought to remember is that labour have met fiscal plans looks alarmingly similar to those that liz truss and kwasi kwarteng first presented and collided so catastrophically with the reality of the markets. we are exoecting. — the reality of the markets. we are expecting, waiting _ the reality of the markets. we are expecting, waiting to _ the reality of the markets. we are expecting, waiting to hear - the reality of the markets. we are expecting, waiting to hear from i the reality of the markets. we are. expecting, waiting to hear from the chancellor this morning, what are you hoping to hear? we have heard this morning from the former deputy government forfiscal this morning from the former deputy government for fiscal stability in the bank of england saying that the black hole is newly £70 billion, he has an awfully big job to do, what you want to hear from has an awfully big job to do, what you want to hearfrom him? he has an awfully big job to do, what you want to hear from him? he does, and i want you want to hear from him? he does, and i want him _ you want to hear from him? he does, and i want him to _ you want to hear from him? he does, and i want him to continue _ you want to hear from him? he does, and i want him to continue with i you want to hear from him? he does, and i want him to continue with a i and i want him to continue with a calm authority with which he has

behaved since he took up liz truss invitation become chancellor of the exchequer. his appointment is a necessary part of the repair work but it is not the whole job. 50. but it is not the whole 'ob. so, what does * but it is not the whole 'ob. so, what does he i but it is not the whole job. so, what does he need to do? they are going to be cuts to spending across the board, that is the reality? well, he has got to balance all the competing challenges that he faces, thatis competing challenges that he faces, that is based on the expenditure and the revenue side. and in the end of the revenue side. and in the end of the markets properly need to be satisfied that the government of the uk is going to be able to service its debts, and that is the test. and if we can meet that test, and then on that basis, then begin to address the supply side measures, the —— the regulatory change we have the opportunity to do now that we are free of eu regulations and are free to set our own, we can then get on with the growth party agenda.
9:48 am
briefly, you want liz truss out, who do what in? mr; briefly, you want liz truss out, who do what in?— briefly, you want liz truss out, who dowhatin? g, ., . .,. ., do what in? my personal choice would be rishi sunak — do what in? my personal choice would be rishi sunak who _ do what in? my personal choice would be rishi sunak who commanded i do what in? my personal choice would be rishi sunak who commanded mosti be rishi sunak who commanded most support in the parliament free party in the leadership election, he was gaining ground on liz truss all the time during the campaign, and had he not been carrying the burden of the responsivity in the eyes of party members for the removal of boris johnson, who was very popular with party members, then i believe he would have won that contest quite comfortable. would have won that contest quite comfortable-— comfortable. thank you for being with us. the headlines on bbc news... the new chancellorjeremy hunt will announce more u—turns to the controversial mini—budget this morning, and deliver a key statement on the economy a fortnight earlier than planned. a damning report into the metropolitan police finds hundreds of officers have been getting away with breaking the law and misconduct. the mayor of kyiv says that russian
9:49 am
strikes on the city this morning have killed one person and wounded three others. in china, the week—long communist party congress has opened in beijing on sunday. delegates are likely to give president xi jinping a third term as party chief, in a break with tradition. in his opening speech, president xi addressed the issue of taiwan, which china claims as part of its territory. he said, "the complete reunification of our country must and will be realised". translation: resolving the taiwan question i is a matter for the chinese. we will continue to strive for the peaceful unification with the greatest sincerity and utmost effort, but we will never promise to renounce the use of force, and we reserve the option of taking all measures necessary. this is only directed at interference by outside forces and a few separatists seeking taiwan independence and their separatist activities. it is by no means targeted
9:50 am
at our taiwan compatriots. there have been more anti— government protests in iran. demonstrators at tehran university have been shouting slogans about the events at evin prison on saturday. authorities have acknowledged four people were killed in the fire that broke out there. as we are reporting, a damning report has found that hundreds of officers in the metropolitan police are getting away with breaking the law and committing misconduct. our home affairs correspondent, daniel sandford joins me now. a damning indictment of the met police force. and this is the internal misconduct system so complaints made by authors against their colleagues or offices partners
9:51 am
and families against them, that is dealt with in the internal system. baroness casey has been looking at only that system and she has discovered a system that is not fit for process. it takes an average 400 days for one of those complaints to be dealt with. only 20% of those complaints are dealt with in three months, 60% are dealt with within a year, 20% of them take more than two years to be resolved, and then even when they are results, metabolic and police ends up with a 57% no case to answer decision, compared to a 46% in otherforces, so many answer decision, compared to a 46% in other forces, so many mothers complain that then dropped, so the senseis complain that then dropped, so the sense is that this is a system where people are struggling to get their complaints against their colleagues heard, and then often the system is pay “ heard, and then often the system is pay —— failing. one of the things that baroness casey was saying is that baroness casey was saying is that you need to have your support
9:52 am
of your supervisor when you make a complaint. if you are having to battle through the system by yourself, if when somebody goes to the inspector or to the superintendent and then they don't take up the complaint and they have to take the complaint themselves that becomes very wearing four officers making complaints, and then they will think about not making comments at all. the they will think about not making comments at all.— they will think about not making comments at all. ., ., comments at all. the new head of the net so mark — comments at all. the new head of the net so mark rowley _ comments at all. the new head of the net so mark rowley says _ comments at all. the new head of the net so mark rowley says hundreds i comments at all. the new head of the net so mark rowley says hundreds of| net so mark rowley says hundreds of his officers should be sacked so what are they going to do about this now? we what are they going to do about this now? ~ :, , ~ what are they going to do about this now? : . , ~ ., what are they going to do about this now? : . w ., ., what are they going to do about this now? ., ., , , now? we asked that that yesterday in a briefin: now? we asked that that yesterday in a briefing and — now? we asked that that yesterday in a briefing and he _ now? we asked that that yesterday in a briefing and he was _ now? we asked that that yesterday in a briefing and he was very _ now? we asked that that yesterday in a briefing and he was very clear- a briefing and he was very clear that he wants to have a much more proactive approach, so for example, one of the things that was clear that some people getting multiple complaints are getting against them and each complete was being dealt with individually. one officer had 11 different complaints but were still serving in the force. mark rowley were saying that we will look at people in the round, we will say, hang on, this person has had multiple examples, maybe we will take a more proactive investigative approach, maybe some kind of sting operation approach, and the other
9:53 am
thing he was very strong on in terms of trying to fix because baroness casey pointed out that it is a glaring problem, is that 81%, black offices are 81% more likely to have a complaint made against them by colleagues than white officers, well, that suggest there is a problem within the culture in the match, both in terms of race and also a similar pattern in terms of misogyny, because when you look at complaint by the public, then those are equal, whether an officer is white or black, so this is now throwing up again this issue about whether there are real issues around attitudes to race and attitude to women within the metropolitan police, and so mark rowley was very clear that he wants to clamp down on that as well. i think the metropolitan police stuff culture is going to look very different in two years' time. going to look very different in two years' time-—

the exmoor pony has been part of the landscape for generations, but it's an endangered breed. now a project is underway to preserve the genetic material from the ponies to help safeguard the animals in the future. andrea ormsby has this report. these exmoor ponies are in a rush. they have an appointment for the annual health check and they don't want to be late. feet are ok, eyes all right, not too many burrs in your hair. lovely, she's going to the top pen, please. we have just marked this mare up, we have given her a look over to make sure she is well, she is carrying enough condition to get her through the winter. and so far they are looking good? looking good, very pleased, yes. the wallace family from near dulverton on exmoor have been guardians of the anchor herd for more than a century. it's one of the founder herds, and the biggest purebred herd in the world. so no pressure. it is a responsibility. i do sometimes get quite emotional about it because it's just a lovely heritage to have. they are just lovely ponies, they are a heritage, they have created the landscape on exmoor.
