otherwise a dry picture scotland, otherwise a dry picture but a colder night with temperatures dipping down into low single figures and there will be and fog patches developing as we head into the first part of tomorrow. some of those could last the first or two, i believe most widespread in wales, east anglia and the south. the odd shower left over for the north—east of scotland and cloud could threaten rain in cornwall but otherwise dry. on wednesday we start to see low pressure push bands of rain in from the south—west, so rain for a time for parts of england, wales, northern ireland. scotland and north—east england should stay dry. temperatures nine to 12 degrees. thursday we see another band of rain, this one more potent, heading northwards and eastwards. clear in the south with brighter skies following and mild, 15 in belfast,

highs reaching around 18 or 19 degrees across parts of the south of the uk. very mild for the time of year. and that's bbc news at ten on monday the 17th of october. stay with us here on the bbc news channel [i continuing coverage and analysis from our team of correspondents in the uk and around the world. you're watching bbc news — i'm james reynolds. more now on the news that prime minister says she is sorry and accepts responsibility for the mistakes that have been made in her tax cutting plans — as her new chancellor announced he was tearing almost all of them up. in an interview tonight with our political editor chris mason — liz truss acknowledged that her plans had gone "too far and too fast" but insisted she wasn't going anywhere and said she would lead the conservatives into the next general election. the prime minister has been speaking to our political editor chris mason.

prime minister, who is to blame for this mess? first of all i do want to accept responsibility and say sorry for the mistakes that have been made. i wanted to act but to help people with their energy bills, to deal with the issue of high taxes but we went too far and too fast. i have acknowledged that, i have put in place a new chancellor with a new strategy to restore economic stability, and now what i'm focused on is delivering for the public. with the delivering on our promises and the typical household can pay, and the typical household can pay, and paying on the promise of growth making sure we are delivering on the roads, broadband, all of those things which are going to help our economy succeed. let's be clear, your very vision for britain is dead, isn't it? what i'm focused on is delivering on energy supplies,

on delivering on new roads, opportunities across our country. we have to make sure that we have economic stability and that has to be my priority. i have acted in the national interest. i remain committed to the vision but we will have to deliver that in a different way and that is what i am determined to do with the new chancellor. there are now back now under watch. left make sure we have economic stability in this country and as prime minister i have to take the tough decisions and make sure we deliver that. we also need higher longer—term breaks and that is vitally important to fund her national health service to make sure families are able to succeed to make

sure they are able to afford a great education system and that is important in the long term. but i recognise that we did act too fast and that is why i have adjusted what we're doing. i think it's the mark of an honest politician does say yes, i made a mistake, i have addressed the mistake and now, we need to deliver for people.
