the new chancellor scraps most of last month's controversial mini budget. jeremy hunt has abandoned the promise of a 1p cut in basic income tax, while help with energy bills will only last till april. growth requires confidence and stability and the united kingdom will always pay its way. this government will therefore take whatever tough decisions are necessary to do so. the statement was designed to calm turmoil on the financial markets, and early reaction there has been positive. but labour say the government's in panic. the country will pay a lasting price for putting us through this ideological experiment and we'll pay a lasting price through economic

instability and rising mortgage rates for some time to come. downing street says the prime minister is now focussed on "ensuring economic stability," but with most of her plans now ripped up, we'll be asking whether liz truss can survive, and getting reaction from voters. also this lunchtime — the head of the metropolitan police says hundreds of his officers should have been sacked for gross misconduct. civilians rescued in the ukrainian capital after an attack by russian kamikaze drones. and against the odds, scotland's cricketers beat the west indies in one of their greatest ever victories. and coming up on the bbc news channel — scotland have made a winning start to their t20 world cup campaign with a shock defeat

of the west indies in australia. good afternoon. the new chancellor, jeremy hunt, has scrapped almost all of the key measures in last month's controversial mini budget, in the latest in a series of government u—turns. in an emergency statement, aimed at reassuring the financial markets, he abandoned indefinitely the planned ip cut in the basic rate of income tax, that had been due to come in next year. help with energy bills will now only last until next april instead of for two years. it will then be reviewed. mr hunt

said although today's announcements will save £32 billion per year. but he warned there are more difficult decisions ahead on tax and spending in order to cut government debt. well, he'll address mps in the commons this afternoon. so far, the markets have reacted positively. labour says the government is in a state of panic. our political correspondent, helen catt, reports morning, chancellor. which measures will you be announcing today? fix, will you be announcing today? a barrage of questions for the new chancellor, who decided the markets could not wait any longer for some answers as he complains of a close the door on the government's mini budget. the door on the government's mini buduet. , , , budget. firstly, we will reverse almost all _ budget. firstly, we will reverse almost all of _ budget. firstly, we will reverse almost all of the _ budget. firstly, we will reverse almost all of the tax _ budget. firstly, we will reverse almost all of the tax measures| almost all of the tax measures announced in the growth plan three weeks _ announced in the growth plan three weeks ago — announced in the growth plan three weeks ago that have not started parliamentary legislation. the basic rate parliamentary legislation. the basic rale of— parliamentary legislation. the basic rate of income tax will remain at 20% _ rate of income tax will remain at 20% and — rate of income tax will remain at 20% and will do so indefinitely until_ 20% and will do so indefinitely until economic circumstances allow for it_ until economic circumstances allow for it to _

this morning was timed to reassure the markets and so far it seems, partly at least, to have succeeded. the pound was up against the dollar and the cost of government borrowing has fallen. our business correspondent, theo leggett, reports. energy bills. the government promised to cap them for millions of households in the face of surging international gas prices. the plan was to keep the cap in place for two years, but the new chancellor says thatis years, but the new chancellor says that is unaffordable. from april, it will be reined in to bring down the cost. it is a change that sends a powerful message to the financial markets. in the mini budget, the government outlined plans for huge tax cuts, but it did not say how it was going to pay for them when it was going to pay for them when it was already committed to spending tens of millions of pounds on the energy scheme. that prompted turmoil on the markets, u—turns on the tax plan, the sacking of a chancellor the direct result. it is plan, the sacking of a chancellor the direct result.— the direct result. it is you

importantly _ the direct result. it is you importantly have - the direct result. it is you j importantly have changed the direct result. it is you - importantly have changed the the direct result. it is you _ importantly have changed the energy support scheme, or at least they are going to review it. it always struck me is extraordinary that he would say now you would provide this huge universal and massively expensive subsidy for two years. maybe it is all we could have done over this winter. surely we can do better next year. it is worth spending an enormous amount of effort and frankly an enormous amount of money coming up with a better scheme. just three coming up with a better scheme. just three weeks after it was announced amid great fanfare, large parts of liz truss' tracks cutting strategy, the core of economic policy, lie in ruins —— tax cutting strategy. the question now is whether what her new chancellor has to offer will be enough to reassure investors here in the city of london and other major financial centres around the world. so far, the signs have been positive. the effective cost of government borrowing, which rose dramatically after the mini budget, fell sharply this morning, anticipating the government's latest u—turns. the pound rose against the dollar as well. the

will not have either. this is because they thought those original plans were too risky, the government was overstretching itself, that is why we saw this reaction on the bond market which controls the cost of government borrowing, and we also thought it was pushing up inflation more quickly and even further, which is why we have the governor of the bank of england talking at the weekend about interest rates being higher than they would otherwise have been. so what we have seen in response to yet another u—turn has been a common of those markets, recovery of bond market, and indeed sterling again, but having said that, there's still a lot of questions to be answered, because tax changes were essential plank of the government's growth plans. over half of that has now gone. there also remains still a halt to be filled to get the public finances back on track. —— eight hole. we are going to find out more on the 31st of october about how they are going to feel that, and whether or the watchdog approves. that is likely to have to mean spending cuts, and i

just said the government's plan will only last six months, then it will have to find something cheaper beyond that. this is a prime minister who promised the country that she was prepared to take the tough decisions. well, she hasjust jumped all of those tough decisions and left the chancellor with a new strategy that is complete with different to the one which got her elected as conservative leader over the summer. —— junked all of those tough decisions. saw an increasing number of conservative mps are concluding that the prime minister cannot could recover from this. many want to hear from the cannot could recover from this. many want to hearfrom the prime minister today, labourare want to hearfrom the prime minister today, labour are going to try to force at to parliament before we hear from the chancellor. keir starmer has been granted an urgent question this afternoon, although liz truss is not obliged to respond to it. but her position this afternoon is incredibly precarious, and many tory mps are concluding that the game is up.—

that the game is up. nick, many thanks. and you can follow all the latest developments — and get more analysis on the bbc website — bbc.co.uk/news. our top story this lunchtime — the new chancellor, jeremy hunt, has scraped most of last month's controversial mini budget — reversing tax cuts and scaling back energy help. still to come... scotland's cricketer celebrate beating the west indies in one of the greatest ever victories. coming up on the bbc news channel. liverpool say they will investigate after manchester city manager pep guardiola alleged coins were thrown at him during his side's 1—0 loss at anfield yesterday — bringing city's unbeaten start to the season to an end. the commissioner of the metropolitan police commissioner, sir mark rowley, says hundreds

of his officers should be sacked after a report found many of them are getting away with criminal behaviour. the review of the met�*s internal misconduct system was commissioned after the murder of everard by a serving police officer. here's our special correspondent, lucy manning. how could a police officer kidnap, rape and kill? 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. 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, 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. it's time. it's time now for change. and we need that because when we are in trouble, the only people we can call our the police and if you are not sure that they are going to be honest and true, we are all left in a terrible state. hundreds of officers who should be sacked still serving, no wonder that trust is lacking. lucy manning, bbc news. the authorities in ukraine say the capital kyiv has been attacked by what they call �*kamikaze drones' sent by russia. four explosions have been reported in the city —its mayor,

the tax measures announced in the growth plan three weeks ago that have not started parliamentary legislation. the basic rate of income tax will remain at 20% and it will do so indefinitely until economic circumstances allow for it to be cut. i am announcing today a treasury led review into how we support energy bills beyond april next year. the objective is to design a new approach that will cost the taxpayer significantly less than planned. our chief political correspondent, nick eardley is still at westminster for us this lunchtime. that was an emergency statement aimed at the financial markets. this afternoon he will be talking to mps in the commons? iiit afternoon he will be talking to mps in the commons?— afternoon he will be talking to mps in the commons? in the last hour he has been addressing _ in the commons? in the last hour he has been addressing conservative i in the commons? in the last hour he i has been addressing conservative mps behind closed doors as well. the chancellor has told them that the prime minister should be commended for making what he called, difficult

decisions to maintain economic stability, for changing tack in the face of the deteriorating global economic situation. that was what he said to conservative mps. he will be in the commons later to outline a bit more of what we heard from him this morning. and the question i think now is, what reaction is there going to be from conservative mps? many are going to feel utterly humiliated, frankly, by what has happened over the past 72 hours. those mps he went out to bat for liz truss' low tax funded by government borrowing, they will have to go out and back for the exact opposite. there is no doubt this is a colossal blow to liz truss' authority. there are many tory mps who think her credibility has been irrevocably damaged. there are two things i think which give the prime minister

a bit of time. one is many of her mps want to see how this goes down over the next few days with the markets and want to give the economy a bit of time to stabilise. the second thing which could buy the prime minister a bit of time is not really clear what would happen if she was brought down. the party, the conservative party that is, cannot decide on who her successor should be. there are still big spats over exactly what the vision of that successor should be, too. as things stand now, ithink successor should be, too. as things stand now, i think the prime minister will face huge pressure to speak to the country over the next 24 hours. she is going to face huge criticism from her own party for some of the decisions she has taken or been forced to take over the economy. the big question is, can she hang on for the next few days? more importantly, can she hang on in office? that is a bigger question he

light winds, pleasant enough
