6:00 am
good morning, welcome to breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. our headlines today. "we went too far and too fast." prime minister liz truss apologises for her mini budget, as the new chancellor reverses almost all of the planned tax cuts. i do want to accept responsibility and say sorry for the mistakes that have been made. one of the biggest economic u—turns in british history, what does it mean for you? definitely more tax,
6:01 am
probably less support with your energy bills come the spring, i will ask businesses how it will trickle down to them. living with mnd. rob burrow and his wife lindsey share the challenges they're facing together, three years after the rugby league star was diagnosed with motor neurone disease. england's beth mead narrowly misses out on being crowned best female footballer of the year. while real madrid's karim benzema wins the prestigious ballon d'or award for the very first time. the children in need rickshaw challenge starts its second leg. we'll meet the inspirational children taking the strain. good morning. a foggy start to southern parts of england and wales this morning, that will slowly lift and then it will be dry with hazy sunshine foremost. it's tuesday, the 18th of october. our main story. liz truss says she will not be stepping down as prime minister, despite her premiership hanging by a thread in the aftermath of the mini—budget.
6:02 am
in an interview with the bbc, ms truss apologised for what she called "mistakes" over the past six weeks but she insisted she would lead the conservatives into the next general election. asked about that last night, one tory backbencher said: "well, we'll have to see". here's our political correspondent, jonathan blake. inside number 10 last night, after a day in which her programme for government was largely scrapped, liz truss sat down for an interview and offered an apology. i do want to accept responsibility and say sorry for the mistakes that have been made. i wanted to act — to help people with their energy bills to deal with the issue of high taxes, but we went too far and too fast. i've acknowledged that. i've put in place a new chancellor with a new strategy to restore economic stability. your very vision for
6:03 am
britain is dead, isn't it? what i'm focused on is delivering on energy supplies, on delivering new roads, new opportunities across our country. we have to make sure, though, that we have economic stability, and that has to be my priority as prime minister. i've acted in the national interest. i remain committed to the vision. but we will have to deliver that in a different way. and that's what i'm determined to do with the new chancellor, jeremy hunt. a low—tax, high—growth economy was still the prime minister's vision, she said, but it would have to be delivered differently. what about the impact of her early moves in office? lots of people are facing massive increases in mortgage payments, and analysts say at least some of that is because of what you've done in the last five or six weeks. what do you say to them? well, look, i understand it is very difficult for families across the country. and they're blaming you.
6:04 am
and the fact is, we are facing both a difficult economic situation internationally where interest rates are rising, as well as pressure, pressure here in, pressure here in britain. but do you accept that you have made it worse? well, what we've been through over the last few years is a very low interest rate world, and that is changing and that is changing across the globe. but do you accept that what you've done in the last five weeks since you took office has made it worse for people? it's made it harderfor people to pay their bills. well, first of all, i have said sorry for the fact that we did act too far. we went too far and too fast. liz truss said the job had been tough and acknowledged with understatement her time as prime minister hadn't been perfect. she urged mps questioning herfuture to focus on the public. i'm sticking around because i was elected to deliver for this country and that is what i am
6:05 am
determined to do. and will you lead the conservatives into the next general election? i will lead the conservatives into the next general election. definitely? well, look, yeah. i'm not focused on internal debates within the conservative party. earlier, the prime minister had come to the house of commons to witness her new chancellor, jeremy hunt, confirm most of her economic plans were being thrown out. all the prime minister could do was watch and listen, as policy after policy was scrapped in an attempt to restore financial stability and the government's credibility. labour say the prime minister's apology won't undo the damage she's done. it's unlikely to be enough on its own to secure herfuture in office. jonathan blake, bbc news. liz truss says she is ticking on her
6:06 am
job, what will the party and what will the country say about that, she says she is sticking with herjob. let's get the latest now from our chief political correspondent nick eardley. where does this leave the prime minister this morning? morning, jon. liz truss might _ minister this morning? morning, jon. liz truss might say _ minister this morning? morning, jon. liz truss might say she _ minister this morning? morning, jon. liz truss might say she wants - minister this morning? morning, jon. liz truss might say she wants to - liz truss might say she wants to lead her party into the next general election, but the truth is, it's not really her decision any more. and it's quite hard to see at the moment how that would happen. we were talking yesterday about the two things that remain in her favour. one is that many mps are just desperate for some calm and stability. the other is that it is not clear who will take over from liz truss and whether they would have an easierjob of keeping a pretty divided party on track. but when it comes to the prime minister herself, the word you hear a lot this week is that ability. her credibility is basically shot. because over the last 2a hours, we have seen the final nails put in the
6:07 am
coffin of everything she stood for over the summer. her whole programme for government has been junked over the summer. her whole programme for government has beenjunked by the new chancellor, and there is more pain to come. the chancellor warned yesterday of eye watering the difficult decisions on spending. that basically means to you and i that there are cuts coming, the chancellor will be in cabinet later this morning telling ministers that they have to cut their budgets. that's going to make a lot of them extremely uncomfortable. so in terms of the prime minister's immediate future, the next 24—hour is, i think she is probably safe. but events could always overtake what happens. and there are a lot of conservative mps who just don't think that liz truss is in control, that she can win her credibility back, and that means that pledge she has made to lead her party to the next general election, she cannot be sure she can fulfil it. ., ~ , ., .
6:08 am
fulfil it. thank you, we will catch u . fulfil it. thank you, we will catch u- later. we'll be speaking to the minister for armed forces and veterans, james heappey, at 7:30 this morning. we will get his take on that in view we saw between chris mason our political editor and the prime minister. the united states, france and the uk have all said that iran's supply of explosive drones to russia violates united nations sanctions. kyiv was struck by so—called "kamikaze" drones on monday, unleashed by russia but believed to be iranian—made. iran denies supplying them to russia. our correspondent hugo bachega joins us now from kyiv. morning, ugo. what more do we know? good morning, sally. it is reported that iran have delivered hundreds of these kamikaze drones to russia,
6:09 am
they explode on impact hence the name. we had a statement from the us state department yesterday saying that iran's supply of these drones to russia violates sanctions which ban iranians transfers of certain technology. we have heard calls for sanctions to be imposed on iran because of the support which is being provided by tehran to russia. we saw the destruction that these drones can cause, residential building was hit in the centre of the city kyiv, four people killed including a woman, her black—and—white picture has been shared on social media and she has become the face of this conflict. we are hearing the ukrainians calling for sanctions to be imposed on iran
6:10 am
but they also say that they need air defence capabilities to protect cities from the threat coming from the sky. rail workers in the rmt union are to begin voting on whether to hold more strikes. the current six—month mandate, which ends on the 26th of november, has seen eight days of industrial action in a dispute over pay, jobs and working conditions. coordinated strikes called by several unions are expected to cause severe disruption in france. transport and health care workers, teachers and staff at several nuclear power plants are among those walking out to demand higher pay. they are also protesting against the government's efforts to force some refinery employees to go back to work. bird keepers with more than 500 birds in england, scotland and wales have been told they must implement strict biosecurity measures to stop bird flu from spreading. the move follows england's largest ever bird flu outbreak, with 30 confirmed cases since the beginning of this month.
6:11 am
the measures include restricting access for nonessential people and the regular disinfecting of equipment. the government has said the risk to human health from the virus remains very low. i have dressed for winter today, have you noticed? i i have dressed for winter today, have you noticed?— i have dressed for winter today, have you noticed? i am in denial, i am keeping _ have you noticed? i am in denial, i am keeping my— have you noticed? i am in denial, i am keeping my summer _ have you noticed? i am in denial, i am keeping my summer suit - have you noticed? i am in denial, i am keeping my summer suit on. it have you noticed? i am in denial, i. am keeping my summer suit on. it is uuite am keeping my summer suit on. it is quite warm. — am keeping my summer suit on. it is quite warm. i — am keeping my summer suit on. it 3 quite warm, i have made a big mistake, have i got it wrong, carol? it isa it is a chilly start to the date but it will be mailed by mid afternoon, temperature is above average for the time of year. temperatures at the moment about 2 degrees in southern part of england, and there is a local frost. part of england, and there is a localfrost. we part of england, and there is a local frost. we have also got some dense fog across parts of southern england and wales. that will lift

6:13 am
scotland, a fair bit of cloud around. some sunshine in the south—east and these are the temperatures. so a chilly start to the day but mild, way above average for the time of year through the afternoon. thank you very much indeed. today marks 100 years since the british broadcasting company was created. it started with just four employees and a promise of no news broadcasts before 7pm. it has changed a bit since then. sorry about that! one inspiration for creating a service offering entertainment on the airwaves was an experimental programme broadcast from chelmsford in 1922. there's now an exhibition about these maverick pioneers, as david silitto reports. 2lo, marconi house, london, calling. the voice you're listening to is arthur burrows, the man who pretty much came up with the idea of the bbc.
6:14 am
he was the first voice ever broadcast on the bbc in 1922. however, when it comes to the idea of using the airwaves for entertainment, there was another pioneer. one of my favourites, hilda matheson, who's also a character in the book i'm doing. 100 years on, i went to meet the comedian paul kerensa, who's created a show about arthur and his rather more entertaining rival. who actually was the first real radio broadcaster, who did what we understand as a radio programme? well, i think you've got to look to peter eckersley, who became the first chief engineer of the bbc, really. peter eckersley? peter eckersley, this wild broadcaster who would improvise. the kenny everett of his day? the kenny everett of his day, the pre—goon goon. he was the guy who actually, really, i think, sparked demand for radio sets and he just wanted to have fun with it. this is peter eckersley. his reputation has been rather tainted by a laterflirtation with a british union of fascists, before later redeeming himself somewhat byjoining the british war effort.
6:15 am
but in 1922, he created britain's first regular radio programme. and its popularity helped inspire the creation of the bbc. and here's a taste of peter's style. dearest, the concert's ended, sad wails the heterodyne. you must soon switch off your valves, i must soon switch off mine. this is why we've had to come to chelmsford, because this is the writtle hut where back in 1922 a group would gather once a week, and invented the idea of entertainment on the airwaves. broadcasting. it pretty much all began here. this is the hut where peter eckersley broadcast every tuesday. and while the hut isn't open to the public, chelmsford museum has created a digital version of the writtle huts to celebrate these pioneers of entertainment. so this is the technology.
6:16 am
what were they actually doing? what was their broadcasting? well, their brief was to kind of create experimental entertainment broadcasts. and what came out was veryjovial, very... not very bbc? not very bbc at all, no, no. it was quite anarchic in many ways. a lot of the shows almost feel like they were kind of precursors to the goon show or something like that, but kind of a0 years. they were having a laugh. they really were, yeah, but they all went to the pub beforehand. oh, they went to the pub before they broadcast? as part of their planning for the programme for the evening. these were gin—fuelled broadcasts. absolutely, yes, certainly one of them was. so a bit more... not quite, we imagine sort of the bow ties and dinner suits of the early bbc. this is a bit more anarchic. absolutely, yes. you must soon switch off your valves, i must soon...
6:17 am
and a hundred years on, you can still hear echoes of the two men, the bbc of serious highbrow arthur versus his rather more anarchic colleague, captain eckersley. david sillitoe, bbc news, chelmsford. good night, cq, god bless you and keep you. ican't! god bless you, good bye, good night. i don't think we have had enough gin! i i don't think we have had enough uin! ~ i don't think we have had enough lin! ~ , ., , ., i don't think we have had enough iin! ~ , ., , ., gin! i think we should start the programme — gin! i think we should start the programme like _ gin! i think we should start the programme like that _ gin! i think we should start the programme like that every - gin! i think we should start the - programme like that every morning. lovely piece by david there. time for a look at some of this morning's front pages. �*the ghost pm' is the headline on the front of the sun — the paper says liz truss sat �*ghostlike' in the commons as the new chancellorjeremy hunt yesterday dismantled her mini budget, including the scrapping of tax—cuts she promised just 2a days ago. liz truss was warned she was "in office but not in power" last night,
6:18 am
says the daily mail. its front page carries comments the prime minister made to our political editor chris mason in an exclusive interview yesterday in which she acknowledged she had gone "too far and too fast" with her economic strategy. we will have a longer version of that interview just after 6.30 this morning. similar comments from liz truss feature on the front this of the daily express. the paper reports that the prime minister has privately apologised to mps for �*the pain' caused by her economic plans. looking ahead to events later today in westminster, the telegraph reports that the chancellor will confront the cabinet with a demand to find spending cuts. it comes after mr hunt warned mps that the government must take decisions of eye—watering difficulty. we will have more of that exclusive interview with our political editor chris mason, that he did with liz truss last night, coming up in the
6:19 am
programme. 18 truss last night, coming up in the programme-— for the past couple of years on breakfast we've been following the story of the former rugby league player rob burrow, who's living with motor neurone disease, and tonight a new documentary about his journey airs on bbc two and iplayer. rob burrow: living with mnd follows the love and support of rob's family, friends and the wider rugby league community. we're thrilled to say that rob and his wife lindsey will be joining us after eight o'clock, but first we can give you this taster. yeah, i don't want you falling off them before school and breaking a leg or something. i'm a prisoner in my own body. that is the way mnd gets you. the lights are on, but no one is home.
6:20 am
i think like you but my mind doesn't work right. i can't move my body. life was perfect. you know, we had everything. we had nice holidays, three beautiful children. what more could we ask for? and i think sometimes looking back now, you don't realise those little things and how important those things are. and until something affects you like mnd, thatjust completely changes because, you know, suddenly, you know, life is never going to be the same again. we're going through the jungle! all right, she's letting us go. thank you. it kills me seeing lindsey juggling everything because i was such a hands—on dad. you hate to see your wife with the burden of doing it alone. you're like a dingle dangle scarecrow. i think i would have broken down if it was me. but lindsey has this unwavering patience with everyone. i love going swimming
6:21 am
6:22 am
first when rob was diagnosed, i was the one that would break down in tears and rob would be, you know, "pull yourself together, lindsey, you know, we can get through this." and he'sjust so positive and itjust ripples through the whole family. put your flower on the top and then you've got to roll it out. looks like a painting now. look at that, looks like an alien. i could not be any more proud of my kids. they are living their best lives and i couldn't ask for any more from them. i love my wife and kids more than anything, and that will make me more determined to be alive.
6:23 am
it really is the most incredible film. it is on tonight, it's 30 minutes long, and you know you might think some of it might be quite difficult to watch, but it is hugely uplifting, it is about love and family and kindness in those amazing hits. an —— and those amazing kids. and they are such an amazing support structure, the club, his mum and dad, care all of those people, it's such a phenomenal team. and you can see our film "rob burrow: living with mnd" on bbc two tonight at 7pm and on the bbc iplayer. we will talk to them at ten past eight this morning. yesterday the new chancellor ditched almost all of liz truss's tax cuts announced in the government's mini budget three weeks ago. and last night the prime minister told the bbc she was sorry for the mistakes she'd made since getting the top job.
6:24 am
nina's in birmingham this morning — getting reaction from people there. and also, the extraordinary interview with chris mason last night, i bet people are talking about it there. you can talk about westminster until the cows come home but we all know that birmingham wholesale market is where the real experts are. the biggest u—turn in government economic history? biggest u-turn in government economic history?— biggest u-turn in government economic history? from a business perspective — economic history? from a business perspective verv — economic history? from a business perspective verv is _ economic history? from a business perspective very is appointed - perspective very is appointed because of the rise in corporation tax. i understand the complications for going with the rest of the financial services, the whole of the uk needs stability. the financial services, the whole of the uk needs stability.— uk needs stability. the price you -a for uk needs stability. the price you pay for stability. _ uk needs stability. the price you pay for stability. let's _ uk needs stability. the price you pay for stability. let's go - uk needs stability. the price you pay for stability. let's go over i pay for stability. let's go over what we learned yesterday. the rest of the u—turns, there was one on the energy price guarantee which put average dualfuel use at
6:25 am
energy price guarantee which put average dual fuel use at 2500, that will now stop in april at which point it will be reviewed. almost all tax cuts have been reversed now. that includes the penny on the pound for the basic rate, so if you earn £20,000 per year, you will be £75 worse off than you would under the mini budget. buying and remortgaging a house, the stamp duty cut will remain, but we know that interest rates are at a point they have not been since the crash in 2008. when we get a review from the bank of england at the beginning of november, we expect they will probably go up again. if you are on benefits, a rise should come in after the chance said protecting the most vulnerable is priority. —— the chancellor said. you cannot expect that until april at which point he will have been living with higher prices for another few months. businesses have been taking in this new through the night, we heard it there, stability in the markets but at what cost to businesses?
6:26 am
stability in the market is welcome but we are still facing a cost of doing business crisis in key sectors, and all that has been given to businesses is returning national insurances to where they were in april and a six month sticking plaster on energy bills. last time we saw you. _ plaster on energy bills. last time we saw you. you _ plaster on energy bills. last time we saw you, you said _ plaster on energy bills. last time we saw you, you said that - plaster on energy bills. last time - we saw you, you said that businesses want to know how to plan in birmingham. that is even harder now. we are seeing deals put on hold as businesses watch out to see what is happening in the coming months, and there is a dent in consumer confidence. the best way to provide thatis confidence. the best way to provide that is a clear plan and the confidence that the government will be able to deliver it to stop what do you think the chaos of the last few weeks will have cost some businesses their lives? some businesses have been making
6:27 am
very difficult decisions after a difficult couple of years, its remains to be seen what impact that will have, it's early days but there are difficulties. riiiiit will have, it's early days but there are difficulties.— are difficulties. gilt yields are trading lower, _ are difficulties. gilt yields are trading lower, the _ are difficulties. gilt yields are trading lower, the pound - are difficulties. gilt yields are trading lower, the pound is l are difficulties. gilt yields are - trading lower, the pound is going higher, the interest on government debt is coming down and the pound is stabilising, they are good directions. but statistically because of these u—turns, your take—home pay will be less, you will be paying more tax, and come april you will be getting less support on your energy bills. as mark was saying, and henrietta was saying, we will have less money but it is the price we pay for stability in their wider economy. how much stability will the liz truss interview with chris last night to create? we will watch it in full in a few minutes. fair night to create? we will watch it in full in a few minutes.— full in a few minutes. fair to say it was bruising. _ time now to get the news,
6:28 am
travel and weather where you are. hello, good morning. this is bbc london. i'm frankie mccamley. the family of a man, who died after being tasered on a london bridge, is taking legal action against the police watchdog. they say it failed to criminally investigate the two officers involved. oladeji omishore, known as deji, died injune following contact with two met officers on chelsea bridge. the family is calling on the iopc to hold a criminal or conduct investigation into his death. they say the decision not to is "unlawful and irrational." the family's main concern is about this issue. each time we think of the people, the two met police officers that, you know, did this to our beloved son, they are still allowed to continue with their normal dayjob as though they haven't done anything wrong.
6:29 am
the iopc said its thoughts and sympathies remain with the family. but says it has no indication that officers breached police professional standards or committed a criminal offence. the river thames has more microplastics than any other river in the world. the charity, thames 21, says it pulls 200 tonnes of plastic from the river every year. scientists believe tiny pieces break down and enter the food chain. several london locations made famous by the bbc are featured on a new map thats been released to mark its centenary. as well as the main studios in london — some lesser known places are included, like the camberwell home of the bbc�*s first black woman broadcaster, una marson, and chiltern street fire station, where the bbcs first female war correspondent, audrey russell, worked. a quick look at the tubes now.
6:30 am
now onto the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello. good morning. a chilly start to the day across the capital. probably the coldest morning of this week, with many of our temperatures dropping back into mid single figures last night. there were also some patches of mist and fog in places, too. where we've got those, they'll take a little while to lift and clear as we had throughout the morning. for many, it is a sunny start to the day. we'll be keeping the blue sky and sunshine as we had throughout the morning. lasting into the afternoon, too. bit more of an easterly breeze developing through the second half of the day, and still pleasantly warm in the best of the sunshine for this time of year with highs of 17, 18 celsius. dry, too, overnight tonight. it will be milder than it was last night, clear spells around at first and then a lot more cloud developing into tomorrow morning. tomorrow we are expecting to see again a lot more cloud. it should stay mostly dry
6:31 am
but there could be outbreaks of rain moving in from the south as we head through the afternoon. we have still got that easterly breeze and it is turning quite unsettled, but still mild for much of the rest of the working week. that's it from me. see you soon. hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. coming up on breakfast this morning... we will be looking ahead to tonight's documentary on rob burrow�*s life with mnd is an incredibly powerful testimony to the love, support and determination of the rugby legend and his family. we'll bejoined by rob, and his wife, lindsey, just after 8. it's day 2 of the children
6:32 am
in need rickshaw challenge with five inspirational young people joining matt baker on his journey this week. and we'll speak to lightning seeds frontman ian broudie, about the band's first album release in 13 years. the prime minister liz truss insists she will lead the conservatives into the next general election, despite some tory mps calling for her to go because of the fallout from the mini budget. speaking to the bbc�*s political editor, chris mason, she apologised for mistakes, but said she had acted swiftly to correct them. first of all, i do want to accept responsibility and say sorry for the mistakes that have been made. i wanted to act — to help people with their energy bills, to deal with the issue of high taxes.
6:33 am
but we went too far and too fast. i've acknowledged that i've 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. let's be clear, though, and blunt. your very vision for britain is dead, isn't it? what i'm focused on is delivering on energy supplies, on delivering new roads, new opportunities across our country. we have to make sure, though, that we have economic stability, and that has to be my priority as prime minister. i've acted in the national interest. i remain committed to the vision. but we will have to deliver that in a different way. and that's what i'm determined to do with the new chancellor, jeremy hunt. i do think it is the mark of an honest politician who does say, "yes, i've made a mistake," i've addressed that mistake, and now we need to deliver for people what we've said we will deliver.
6:34 am
was rishi sunak right all along? we had a very robust leadership campaign this summer where we debated ideas, we debated philosophy. and he suggested your ideas would be a disaster, and he's been proven right, hasn't he? well, as i've said, i'm committed to a low—tax, high—growth economy, but i have to reflect the real issues we face. and my responsibility as prime minister is making sure that we have economic stability, that we protect people's jobs. we've got the lowest unemployment since 1974, and we get through this very difficult winter. what i have delivered is we've already reversed the national insurance increase, which is important forfamilies. we've also delivered on the energy price guarantee. yes, chris, i couldn't deliver everything i wanted.
6:35 am
well, not everything. most of it's been junked. well, i delivered the energy price guarantee and the national insurance, and we will continue to work to deliver economic growth for our country. lots of people are facing massive increases in mortgage payments, and analysts say at least some of that is because of what you've done in the last five or six weeks. what do you say to them? well, look, i understand it is very difficult for families across the country. and they're blaming you. and the fact is, we are facing both a difficult economic situation internationally, where interest rates are rising, as well as pressure, pressure here — pressure here in britain. but do you accept that you have made it worse? well... what we've been through over the last few years is a very low interest rate world, and that is changing across the globe. but do you accept that what you've done in the last five weeks since you took office has made it worse for people? it's made it harderfor people to pay their bills. well, first of all, i have said sorry for the fact that we did
6:36 am
act too far. we went too far and too fast. and that has consequences for people, on people's bills. the reason i did that was to make sure that we were dealing with the immediate issue of the energy crisis, and we did help people with their energy bills. now, interest rates are a matter for the bank of england. they are rising internationally. we will do what we can to help families. i'm particularly focused on helping the most vulnerable families, but we are in a difficult situation as a country, and this difficult situation is being faced around the world. and we've had to adjust our policies as a consequence, chris. what do you say to people who say that you are now a prime minister in name only, that you've had to junk almost your entire plan, the very thing that you were elected upon? you now have a chancellor, who is executing a plan that is a million miles away from your own, and you've acknowledged that
6:37 am
what you've had to pause, what you've had to stop is still what you really believe. you're now leading a government that's executing an agenda that you don't even believe in. well, i appointed the chancellor because i knew that we had to pursue these policies. i knew that we had to act to protect economic stability. and that's why i appointed jeremy hunt. and i've been working very closely with the chancellor over the last few days to make sure that we have the right package in place. but it would have been completely irresponsible for me not to act in the national interest in the way i have. and, you know, iam somebody who's honest. i've said that mistakes were made, but i've also acted to address that, to make sure the country is in a strong position. and that's what i will continue to do as prime minister. can you convince our listener and viewer that you have credibility
6:38 am
still as prime minister because a reasonable—minded observer might wonder from hereon in whether they can believe what you're saying, because so much of what you've said in your early weeks in office has been binned. yes, i have been honest with the public about what we've needed to change because of the circumstances. but i am completely committed to delivering for this country. and that's why i'm in the job. that's why i get up each morning, chris, is because i want this country to be a better place where everybody has opportunities and everyone can succeed. 0k. that's what motivates me. do you feel humiliated? i feel, first of all, that i did make mistakes. and i've been upfront and honest about that. yes. it hasn't been perfect. it's been a difficult time. and i think we did an interview before i got thejob, and i said it was going to be tough because of the circumstances we're facing. has it been harder than you could possibly have imagined? i was expecting it to be tough and it has been tough, i think it's fair to say.
6:39 am
let me read you some of what your own mps have told me about what's been going on. it's checkmate. we're stuffed. it's dire. they've taken no responsibility for hiking mortgage rates. we're all done for. these are your own colleagues. what do you say to them? because they're convinced that as a result of your actions, they and your party are going to lose. what i say to them is that we should be focusing on the people of the united kingdom and how we deliver for them. we were elected on the conservative manifesto in 2019 to level up our country, to provide more opportunities, to deliver for our public services. that's what i'm focused on doing, and i don't think people want to hear about internal discussions in the conservative party. and will you lead the conservatives into the next general election? i will lead the conservatives into the next general election. definitely? well, look, yeah. i'm not focused on internal debates within the conservative party.
6:40 am
but you need to be. you know you need to be in order to stay in office. the important thing is that i've been elected to this position to deliver for the country. we are facing very tough times. we simply cannot afford to spend our time talking about the conservative party rather than what we need to deliver. and that is my message to my colleagues. and you're staying put. how ever bad the poll ratings get, how ever much noise there is amongst your own backbenchers, you're not shifting. i will stay in the job to deliver for the national interest. prime minister, thank you. thank you. liz truss telling chris mason she will stay in the job. she accepts mistakes have been made and she said she is sorry but says she is determined to continue. how she convinced you? do let us know. has
6:41 am
she stabilised the economy and chilled up her own position as prime minister? interesting to hear your views. we will speak to chris mason later in the programme. now for the sport. more bad news in rugby. i said earlier, you cannot say it is dark day for rugby union any more. the rfu and premiership rugby will be brought in front of a parliamentary inquiry to address "serious concerns about the future of the sport." yesterday, it was confirmed wasps have gone into administration with the loss of 167 jobs. that includes all players and coaches across the rugby and netball teams. they're the second club forced into administration in three weeks, following worcester warriors. the dcms committee will carry
6:42 am
out their inquiry next month. a rollercoaster of a day for wasps' back row jack willis, who, just hours before finding out he was being made rednudant by his club, was picked by eddiejones for england ahead of the autumn internationals. jones admits it won't be easy for him. some of our strength and conditioning staff and rugby staff will do a little bit of work with him, to keep him prepared. but he's a resilient character, you know. given his injury history and what he's worked through, this is another tough time for him. it's tough for those players. the rugby league world cup has a match scheduled at wasps' stadium in coventry on friday and says it has reassurances that game won't be affected. in last night's pool a match, france beat greece 34—12 in doncaster — a particularly special moment for the greeks when you consider rugby league was only made legal in the country in august.
6:43 am
three years after, they'd qualified for this competition. before that, games were played in secret due to a dispute between the government and the greek rugby league federation. mclaren boss zak brown has written to formula one's governing body saying red bull have "cheated" by breaking the budget cap. the letter calls for penalties to hit the f1 champions financially and on the track. the fia announced last week red bull were guilty of a "minor" breach of the budget cap. real madrid forward karim benzema has won the ballon d'or award — the prize for the best footballer of the year. benzema played a starring role in real�*s run to the champions league title last season, and becomes the first french player to win since zinedine zidane in 1998, and is the oldest winner, at 3a, since stanley matthews in 1956. ex—liverpool striker sadio mane was second.
6:44 am
manchester city's kevin de bruyne finished third. spain's alexia putellas won the women's award for the second year running, after a season in which she was the top scorer in the champions league, as her club barcelona reached the final. england forward beth mead took second spot after her heroics in leading the lionesses to victory at the european championship earlier this year. you have to say beth mead will be disappointed with that year she has had in the euros. she had an incredible year with barcelona. thank you very much. here's carol with a look at this morning's weather. it will get much milder than we would expect for the time of year. if you are stepping out, actually start. mothers particularly in
6:45 am
central and southern parts of england where there is a local frost. there is a bit more cloud across the channel islands. also frost in southern areas. cloud across western scotland. eastern scotland starting of sunny. the same for northern ireland. for eastern and central england, when fog lifts you are looking at a fair bit of sunshine. it will be slow to clear parts of wales and the south—west. cloud currently in the north—east of scotland which will fade. the thickest cloud and breeze across devon and cornwall. the chancellor not shower through the day. temperatures nine in the north and 18 in the south. a change as showery rain starts to push steadily north.
6:46 am
low cloud comes in from the north the across northern england and into scotland. a chilly night in scotland than last night. quite mild as we push down where there are showery outbreaks of rain. tomorrow that pushes northwards. brighter skies across western scotland. the rest of scotland and north—east england fairly cloudy. pushing into the southeast it could stay largely dry. temperatures eight to 18 degrees. to give you a rough idea, north to south at this time of year, average temperatures should be between ten and 16, so we are way above those. certainly are. thank you very much. it's day two of the rickshaw challenge, and all this week matt baker will be joined by inspiring young people who've benefited from projects funded by children in need. yesterday we saw 16—year—old alexander kick everything off in sunderland — and today it's quinlan's
6:47 am
turn on the pedals. jayne mccubbin is with "team rickshaw" in warrington this morning. morning. good morning to you. good morning everybody. _ morning. good morning to you. good morning everybody. good _ morning. good morning to you. good morning everybody. good morning i morning everybody. good morning patsy. good morning team children in need. very excited about today. we are in warrington. all children who take part, the young people who take part in these challenges have overcome adversity of one kind to another in their lives. have a look at a plaque over our shoulder here in warrington in the square. you will have heard of bio beach. they made national news headlines. they were involved in the worst tragedy. all four members of the band and theirfamilies died. a car drove
6:48 am
over a bridge. theirfamilies died. a car drove overa bridge. it theirfamilies died. a car drove over a bridge. it was horrific for everybody involved. whether reeves was involved in that tragedy. his family reached out to a charity supported by you, through your donations to children in need. quinlan told me it was the very thing that saved him from the depths of grief. he goes by the name of queen dog, doesn't he? i went to meet him and he is a very cool young man. have a look at this. my name is quinlan, i'm 18 and i love sports. rowing, football, rugby, i'm a really sporty person. i like my music as well. and you want to tell us about somebody really important in your life. yeah. river, my older brother. he's just the coolest brother ever. he always said to us, you know, "i want to be a rock star, but plan b, i'll be james bond.
6:49 am
so that was just — that's river in a nutshell. river reeves was quinn's big brother. he also played guitar in viola beach. | tv: tributes have been paid to four| members of a british indie rock band and their manager, who've been killed in a car crash in sweden. i remember i was playing in my back garden, playing football. and seeing the police car drive past. my stomach dropped, and it was that gut feeling that river had gone. you can't put into words how horrific it is. his big brother was 19 when he died. quinn wasjust11, and river's death shattered the whole family. river's my stepson. i promised his mum, when she was poorly in the hospice that i would... sorry, i'm going to get upset. ..that i would look after him and make sure his dreams came true. so i carry a lot of guilt. and i think in that fallout of that grief and guilt, it was hard. it was hard to remember.
6:50 am
i had little kids and phil at home. and i think that's why child bereavement for me was so, so important. just the ability to talk, and talk to you and talk openly. child bereavement uk is the children in need funded charity which introduced quinn to claire. claire was the counsellor who helped him and his siblings deal with their emotions. i was struggling in my schoolwork. i couldn't concentrate. i was struggling to sleep. i was always overthinking. i was worrying about things that would never happen. you know, i was having nightmares and stuff about my brother and stuff like that. because of course you were so very young when river died, you werejust11. it is a very british thing, isn't it, that with death and grief and loss that you just soldier on, and aren't children resilient? and, you know, they'll get over it. children find it very difficult. they haven't got the voice to articulate how they're feeling. and child bereavement uk gave them that voice.
6:51 am
one, two, in. today, quinn is in a good place. during a gap year, he's coaching kids to take up the sport he loves. and all of this could have been a dream which he might never have fulfilled. it reallyjust put me on track, and to deal with my emotions. scary thing is, i don't know if i'd still be here today, sort of thing. so having that counselling, child bereavement was so important to me. i filmed that clip. it was easter 2014. come dance, kids. come on, kids. let's all dance. and, hilariously, they all got up. jasmine got punched in the eye by dylan. then there was a big scream. and then in the meantime, quinlan's, like, still grooving in the background. that's our family. just mayhem, you know? there was a time when this
6:52 am
would have been too raw to recall, too painful to relive. that'sjust the memories i have, the happy memories i have of him just enjoying, you know, having a good time. that was the first single. the difference that accessing bereavement support has made to quinn has been absolutely huge. so this was river's first ever guitar. he got when he was eight years old, nine, i think. he was a very young person, feeling really overwhelmed. that's a pretty special picture. pretty cool. and by providing a safe space for quinn to be able to talk about the impact that his brother's death had had on him, enabled him to begin to rebuild his life again. and that's why the children in need funding is so important. there were times when i would struggle to listen to the music,
6:53 am
whereas now i love to listen to it. i mean, that's how grief changes. and this is who quinn will bring to mind on his new challenge. the big brother, who will forever be 19. good luck! hooray! good luck with your rickshaw challenge. i think he's going to smash it. i think he's a great role model. i think he really wants to reach out to young people and say, "look, you know, whatever you're going through, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. and the ride, ithink, gives gives him an opportunity to do that. so...good luck, son. i know you'll smash it. come on, quinn. yeah. come on, quinn. we're dead proud of you. absolutely. go for it, quinn dog. the one thing you notice when you look at queen is how much he looks
6:54 am

6:57 am
thank you, all of you, for the donations you had made so far. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. hello, good morning, this is bbc london. i'm frankie mccamley. the family of a man who died after being tasered on a london bridge is taking legal action against the police watchdog. oladeji omishore, known as deji, died injune following contact with two met officers on chelsea bridge. the family is calling on the iopc to hold a criminal or conduct investigation into his death. they say the decision not to is unlawful and irrational. the family's main concern is about this issue. each time we think of the people, the two met police officers that, you know, did this to our beloved son, they are still allowed to continue with their normal day job as though they haven't
6:58 am
done anything wrong. the iopc says it has no indication that officers breached police professional standards or committed a criminal offence. commuters are set for more rush—hour disruption this morning around the dartford crossing. for a second day eco protesters who have scaled the qe2 bridge have closed the area. yesterday drivers faced two hours of queues during rush hour and six miles of congestion. and for all the latest travel updates throughout the morning tune into your bbc local radio station. a quick look at the tubes now. several london locations made famous by the bbc are featured on a new map that's been released to mark its centenary. as well as the main studios in london — some lesser known places are included like chiltern street fire station,
6:59 am
where the bbcs first female war correspondent, audrey russell, worked and the camberwell home of the bbc�*s first black woman broadcaster, una marson. now onto the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello. good morning. a chilly start to the day across the capital. probably the coldest morning of this week, with many of our temperatures dropping back into mid single figures last night. there were also some patches of mist and fog in places, too. where we've got those, they'll take a little while to lift and clear as we had throughout the morning. for many, it is a sunny start to the day. we'll be keeping the blue sky and sunshine as we had throughout the morning. lasting into the afternoon, too. bit more of an easterly breeze developing through the second half of the day, and still pleasantly warm in the best of the sunshine for this time of year with highs of 17, 18 celsius. dry, too, overnight tonight. it will be milder than it was last night, clear spells around at first and then a lot more cloud developing into tomorrow morning. tomorrow we are expecting to see
7:00 am
again a lot more cloud. it should stay mostly dry but there could be outbreaks of rain moving in from the south as we head through the afternoon. we have still got that easterly breeze and it is turning quite unsettled, but still mild for much of the rest of the working week. that's it from me. but if you're looking for some seasonal spooky entertainment have a look at bbc london's instagram. i'm back in half an hour, see you then. good morning, welcome to breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. our headlines today. "we went too far and too fast" prime minister liz truss apologises for her mini budget, as the new chancellor reverses almost all of the planned tax cuts. i do want to accept responsibility and say sorry for the mistakes that have been made.
7:01 am
what does the biggest economic u—turn in british history for you? definitely more taxes, probably less support with your energy bills. i ask businesses in birmingham how they think it will impact them. living with mnd. rob burrow and his wife lindsey share the challenges they're facing together, three years after the rugby league star was diagnosed with motor neurone disease. england's beth mead just misses out on being crowned best female footballer of the year. while real madrid's karim benzema wins the prestigious ballon d'or award for the very first time. good morning. we are live in warrington for the latest rickshaw challenge, here with team children in need and patsy is keeping the seat warm for our latest young
7:02 am
person who is quinlan, raising money for children in need and child bereavement uk —— party is keeping the seat warm. a chilly start, some fog around, that was thin and left and then foremost it will be dry with sunshine. it's tuesday the 18th of october. liz truss says she will not be stepping down as prime minister, despite her premiership hanging by a thread in the aftermath of the mini budget. in an interview with the bbc, ms truss apologised for what she called "mistakes" over the past six weeks — but she insisted she would lead the conservatives into the next general election. asked about that last night, one tory backbencher said: "well, we'll have to see". here's our political correspondent, jonathan blake. inside number 10 last night, after a day in which her programme
7:03 am
for government was largely scrapped, liz truss sat down for an interview and offered an apology. i do want to accept responsibility and say sorry for the mistakes that have been made. i wanted to act — to help people with their energy bills, to deal with the issue of high taxes, but we went too far and too fast. i've acknowledged that. i've put in place a new chancellor with a new strategy to restore economic stability. your very vision for britain is dead, isn't it? what i'm focused on is delivering on energy supplies, on delivering new roads, new opportunities across oui’ country. we have to make sure, though, that we have economic stability, and that has to be my priority as prime minister. i've acted in the national interest. i remain committed to the vision. but we will have to deliver that in a different way.
7:04 am
and that's what i'm determined to do with the new chancellor, jeremy hunt. a low—tax, high—growth economy was still the prime minister's vision, she said, but it would have to be delivered differently. what about the impact of her early moves in office? lots of people are facing massive increases in mortgage payments, and analysts say at least some of that is because of what you've done in the last five or six weeks. what do you say to them? well, look, i understand it is very difficult for families across the country. and they're blaming you. and the fact is, we are facing both a difficult economic situation internationally where interest rates are rising, as well as pressure, pressure here in, pressure here in britain. but do you accept that you have made it worse? well, what we've been through over the last few years is a very low interest rate world, and that is changing and that is changing across the globe. but do you accept that what you've
7:05 am
done in the last five weeks since you took office has made it worse for people? it's made it harderfor people to pay their bills. well, first of all, i have said sorry for the fact that we did act too far. we went too far and too fast. liz truss said the job had been tough and acknowledged with understatement her time as prime minister hadn't been perfect. she urged mps questioning herfuture to focus on the public. i'm sticking around because i was elected to deliver for this country and that is what i am determined to do. and will you lead the conservatives into the next general election? i will lead the conservatives into the next general election. definitely? well, look, yeah. i'm not focused on internal debates within the conservative party. earlier, the prime minister had come to the house of commons to witness her new chancellor, jeremy hunt, confirm most of her economic plans
7:06 am
were being thrown out. all the prime minister could do was watch and listen, as policy after policy was scrapped in an attempt to restore financial stability and the government's credibility. labour say the prime minister's apology won't undo the damage she's done. it's unlikely to be enough on its own to secure herfuture in office. jonathan blake, bbc news. we're joined now by the shadow chancellor, rachel reeves. good chancellor, rachel reeves. morning. good chancellor, rachel reeves. mornini. ., wa nted good morning. good morning. you wanted to hear— good morning. good morning. you wanted to hear from _ good morning. good morning. you wanted to hear from the _ good morning. good morning. you wanted to hear from the prime - wanted to hear from the prime minister, we have now heard from her, let's get your response, what has she had to say? the her, let's get your response, what has she had to say?— her, let's get your response, what has she had to say? the problem is that the damage _ has she had to say? the problem is that the damage is _ has she had to say? the problem is that the damage is already - has she had to say? the problem is that the damage is already done. . that the damage is already done. this was a crisis made in downing street, but it is ordinary working people who are paying the price. and what we now desperately need is

7:09 am
because the support they thought they were getting with their energy bills is now not going to be there. the support that they thought that they were going to get through pensions and benefits being uprated in line with inflation is no longer going to be there. the support for our crucial public services, the nhs and our schools, the chancellor was not able to confirm that that support would be there either. so many people even more worried about their family finances, many people even more worried about theirfamily finances, about many people even more worried about their family finances, about the public services that they rely on, today, that they were even this time yesterday. today, that they were even this time esterda . g , ,. yesterday. jeremy hunt said yesterday — yesterday. jeremy hunt said yesterday that _ yesterday. jeremy hunt said yesterday that he _ yesterday. jeremy hunt said yesterday that he now - yesterday. jeremy hunt said i yesterday that he now believes yesterday. jeremy hunt said - yesterday that he now believes there is consensus, agreement between the government and eu, is consensus, agreement between the governmentand eu, in is consensus, agreement between the government and eu, in labour, about policies needed —— the government and labour about policies needed to get financial stability. you do basically agree about how we go forward even if you disagree about the way we got here? the chancellor said he had to _ the way we got here? the chancellor said he had to make _ the way we got here? the chancellor said he had to make eye _ the way we got here? the chancellor said he had to make eye watering i the way we got here? the chancellor| said he had to make eye watering the difficult decisions. there are some
7:10 am
decisions that are pretty straightforward. the government should expand the windfall tax on the huge profits that oil and gas companies are making and use that money to help people's energy bills stay lower for longer. the government should abolish the non—dom tax status and use the money to invest in the nhs. those are the sort of decision i would be making as chancellor, very different from the sorts of decisions that the conservative chancellorjeremy hunt conservative chancellor jeremy hunt hinted conservative chancellorjeremy hunt hinted at yesterday.— hinted at yesterday. jeremy hunt sui iested hinted at yesterday. jeremy hunt suggested that — hinted at yesterday. jeremy hunt suggested that maybe _ hinted at yesterday. jeremy hunt suggested that maybe the - hinted at yesterday. jeremy hunt. suggested that maybe the windfall tax is on the table, so isn't that another thing that viewers this morning will say, these two parties are kind of in agreement now about how we move forward from here. iloathed how we move forward from here. what the chancellor — how we move forward from here. what the chancellor did _ how we move forward from here. twat the chancellor did yesterday was how we move forward from here. “garnet the chancellor did yesterday was to cut the supports that people are going to get with their energy bills, and with no understanding of how worried people are about what is going on. i have been saying for months and months and months, that we could get more from the oil and
7:11 am
gas companies, if we extended the windfall tax. the government are leaving millions of pounds, tens of billions of pounds, on the table, that could be used to keep people's bills low. the problem is thatjust result in more borrowing and more anxiety forfamilies. the result in more borrowing and more anxiety for families. the decisions that i would be making as chancellor to extend the windfall tax, get their fair share of tax from people who make britain their home but do not pay their taxes here, different priorities from a labour government compared to a conservative one. let me also say this. it's not enough just to get through. we should be thriving and leading the world as a country. we have so much great potential to lead in the industries of the future, whether that is hydrogen, carbon capture and storage, floating offshore wind and new nuclear, but we are not leading because we're just going from crisis to crisis. labour“s green prosperity

plan, ourforms to business rates, our modern industrial strategy, are all policies to ensure are global leaders in the future were not a global laughing stock which, i'm afraid, the rebukes we have received on the international monetary fund, with people looking at gilt yields hour by hour, this is not a sign of a normal g7 economy, this is the sign of a country and an economy that has lost its way and we are not going to regain that with a conservative prime minister or chancellor. conservative prime minister or chancellor-— conservative prime minister or chancellor. ., , . chancellor. one of the u-turns that jeremy hunt _ chancellor. one of the u-turns that jeremy hunt made _ chancellor. one of the u-turns that jeremy hunt made yesterday - chancellor. one of the u-turns that jeremy hunt made yesterday was i chancellor. one of the u-turns that| jeremy hunt made yesterday was on energy bills. and a lot of our viewers are getting in touch saying, thatis viewers are getting in touch saying, that is the thing that worries them most, that the government is now saying he will now only freeze energy bills for six months, it cannot make any guarantees beyond that. you have also said six months to start with. can you give our viewers any reassurance that you would now be prepared to go further than the conservatives, can you give them more than six months? labour have led to — them more than six months? labour have led to the _ them more than six months? labour have led to the way _ them more than six months? labour have led to the way in _ them more than six months? labour have led to the way in supporting i have led to the way in supporting people with their gas and

electricity bills, we were calling for a genuine freeze of energy bills whilst the prime minister liz truss was saying that she didn't believe in hand—outs. we came up in the summer with a fully costed and funded plan to get us through the winter months but we have always been clear, we will come back again if people need more support as we move into next year when we have a greater idea of where prices will be. but we would do that by extending the windfall tax, notjust ljy extending the windfall tax, notjust by heaping more money on government borrowing and government debt which ultimately would have to be paid back by taxpayers. the government are leaving tens of billions of pounds on the table, walking to prioritise the profits of big oil and gas companies, then they are then protecting the stability of family finances. —— they are more keen to prioritise the profits of big oil and gas companies. people would question _ big oil and gas companies. people would question some _ big oil and gas companies. people would question some of _ big oil and gas companies. people would question some of your- big oil and gas companies. people | would question some of your sums big oil and gas companies. people - would question some of your sums on the windfall tax.—

7:15 am
rather than the prime minister. the prime minister can put herself and all of us out of her misery by resigning and calling a general election because the labour party and keir starmer is ready to serve and keir starmer is ready to serve and offer the leadership that this country desperately needs to get our country desperately needs to get our country back on the right track and help families and pensioners who are desperately worried about though how they are going to get through the next few months. iirate they are going to get through the next few months.— they are going to get through the next few months. we have to leave it there, next few months. we have to leave it there. thank— next few months. we have to leave it there. thank you _ next few months. we have to leave it there, thank you for _ next few months. we have to leave it there, thank you forjoining _ next few months. we have to leave it there, thank you forjoining us, - there, thank you forjoining us, rachel reeves. let's get the latest now from our chief political correspondent nick eardley. we heard, rachel reeves calling for liz truss to go, the prime minister wants to stay until the next general election whenever that might be. will her party allow her to? it’s a will her party allow her to? it's a very difficult _ will her party allow her to? it's a very difficult thing _ will her party allow her to? it's a very difficult thing to _ will her party allow her to? it's a very difficult thing to see - will her party allow her to? it's a very difficult thing to see that. very difficult thing to see that happening at the moment, sally. because basically what happened yesterday is everything that liz truss wanted to do as prime minister was thrown in the bin. and that leaves a big question around here about her credibility. that's a
7:16 am
question a lot of her mps asking, if you want to go into another general election, would people trust her to fulfil the promises he made in her manifesto? you look at the polls and they suggest that liz truss is in an absolutely terrible position, and i think a lot of her mps will be waking up this morning, looking at the headlines in the conservative supporting newspapers and seeing headlines like the daily mail saying she is in office but not in power, and they will be very worried about that. and it is worth remembering, the worst is yet to come. because when the chancellor arrives here for cabinet in about an hour's time, he's going to be telling cabinet ministers that they need to make big, that there are going to be savings in all department —— they need to make big cuts. that will be a difficult decisions which will be unpopular with a lot of our viewers and the voters, and unpopular with conservative mps as well. including
7:17 am
how much pensions should go up by, how much pensions should go up by, how much pensions should go up by, how much benefit should go up, whether defence spending goes up by just as much as was promised. the chancellor even suggested yesterday that he might introduce a windfall tax, something that liz truss said a few weeks ago was a terrible idea. there is a big question this morning about what this government stands for, and what the prime minister can actually achieve in power. her whole programme has beenjunked, the chancellor seems to be running the show when it comes to the economy, at the moment. and i think for a lot of tory mps, that means they will be watching to see when they act, rather than if they act. a couple of things in the pm“s favour, the fact that some just want a period of calm and there is no obvious successor to her. as soon as both of those things start to change, there is a decent chance that tory mps will conclude she cannot stay in office.— chance that tory mps will conclude she cannot stay in office. thank you very much- —
7:18 am
we'll be speaking to the armed forces minister, james heappey, at 07:30. we should have been talking to our correspondent hugo bachega in kyiv now, but the team there has had to move to safety because the city has been hit by a missile in just the last few minutes. these pictures are from yesterday when the city was struck by so—called "kamikaze" drones, unleashed by russia but believed to be iranian—made. the eu says it is also "gathering evidence" on the iranian drones and is ready to act. iran denies supplying them to russia. we“ll bring you news from hugo as soon as we can. rail workers in the rmt union are to begin voting on whether to hold more strikes. the current six—month mandate, which ends on the 26th of november, has seen eight days of industrial action in a dispute over pay, jobs and working conditions. she has been waiting very patiently!

that government borrowing is effectively deferred taxation. we have to pay interest on debts and had to pay our debts down. that is always the decision you make when you decide to borrow as a government. what i think is important to note is nobody in british politics at the moment has the perfect answer to this. the labour party is refusing to accept they would make any tax rises, nor would they make any spending cuts. we had a plan that was seeking to catalyse growth but it was an intervention that was too big and the fast and the markets did not come with us on that. is there enough. what the prime minister and the new chancellor had done is recognise the case for growth is still there and there are reforms we can make around infrastructure and helping to get more people back into the workforce and these investment
7:39 am
zones around the country which will make a difference. at a time when the global markets are nervous, what there is not roomful is a huge amount of government borrowing. you are here morning talking in defence of liz truss. we will talk about your own brief in a moment. how much support does she have within the conservative party? you will have seenin conservative party? you will have seen in the papers this morning briefings and the conservatives have been giving out anonymously. how much support do you feel she has? you know this, you have been in journalism for a while. when they are anonymous sources it is often very hard to tell whether it is two or three people making themselves really busy speaking to lots of genus are whether there are dozens of people. my sense is there are dozens of colleagues in the parliamentary party who are gravely concerned over the way the last few weeks have gone but they, like me,
7:40 am
recognise this is not the time to be changing leader again. we had just had a leadership election and in the summer broadcasters like you are rightly challenging where is the government at a time of economic uncertainty? we have seen in the last three or four weeks what the economic price of political instability is. we have seen how the markets react to what is going on in westminster. i cannot see and neither can the vast majority of my colleagues, had the answer to the current situation is to indulge an even more political instability with the economic impact that brings. you know as well as i do there are a couple of colleagues in parliament who are in a very irreconcilable place. i think the government needs to work to understand their concerns and try to bring them back into the fold. the british public will not indulge the conservative party tearing itself apart when there is a
7:41 am
war in europe that rings without profound security consequences for the uk and there is a set of economic conditions requiring good economic conditions requiring good economic management, the mistake of the last couple of weeks notwithstanding.- the last couple of weeks notwithstandini. ., ., . notwithstanding. you mentioned grave concerns. notwithstanding. you mentioned grave concerns- am — notwithstanding. you mentioned grave concerns- am i— notwithstanding. you mentioned grave concerns. am i to _ notwithstanding. you mentioned grave concerns. am i to take _ notwithstanding. you mentioned grave concerns. am i to take it _ notwithstanding. you mentioned grave concerns. am i to take it the _ concerns. am i to take it the conservative party and people you are speaking to, other mp5, think if there were a clear candidate to succeed the prime minister she may not be in a position she is now? if thatis not be in a position she is now? if that is the case, why is she still prime minister?— that is the case, why is she still prime minister? that is not what i said. i prime minister? that is not what i said- ithink— prime minister? that is not what i said. i think there _ prime minister? that is not what i said. i think there are _ prime minister? that is not what i said. i think there are a _ prime minister? that is not what i said. i think there are a few i said. i think there are a few colleagues in parliament who are irreconcilable and the government needs to work and try to understand their concerns to bring them back into the fold as best we can. the vast majority of colleagues recognise after the last p months, the last year when we have been going through all of the banks over
7:42 am
borisjohnson which has divided the party, we cannot reverse the decision of a leadership election we havejust decision of a leadership election we have just completed. the decision of a leadership election we havejust completed. the prime minister admits the mini budget went too far and too fast. she has owned that, apologised for it, appointed a new chancellor. it is important to note that for all the discussion at the moment rightly is dominated by the moment rightly is dominated by the mini budget and the impact it has had, there are a lot of other things going on within government where the prime minister is making good decisions day in, day out, decisions relating to national security, decisions relating to investing in national infrastructure and boosting our nation's productivity, decisions relating to how we might drive growth through investment zones, for example, that could come to regions all over the country and will really catalyse investment in local areas and bring
7:43 am
qualityjobs and increase wages. there are things the government is doing that are really good, there are things the government is reacting too internationally where the government continues to make the decisions and is leading. if you look at the way the markets have responded to the appointment of the new chancellor, it is clear there is confidence quickly returning to the uk's confidence quickly returning to the uk“s economic plan as well. let’s uk's economic plan as well. let's talk about _ uk's economic plan as well. let's talk about the _ uk's economic plan as well. let's talk about the new _ uk's economic plan as well. let's talk about the new chancellor i uk's economic plan as well. let's talk about the new chancellor and the mod budget. suggestion savings will be found in health and defence budgets. will be found in health and defence budiets. ~ ., will be found in health and defence budiets. . . ., ,., will be found in health and defence budiets. . . ., .~ ., budgets. what do you make of it? if the treasury — budgets. what do you make of it? if the treasury are _ budgets. what do you make of it? if the treasury are saying _ budgets. what do you make of it? if the treasury are saying about i budgets. what do you make of it? if the treasury are saying about what. the treasury are saying about what can be done in this year? there is a discussion the secretary of state and the chancellor will have. the chancellor has told the secretary of state, the commitment to spend 3% of gdp on defence by 2030. that is very
7:44 am
necessary. some people might say, why are we spending more on our armed forces at a time when the rest of government is having to tighten its belt west about what is really important as people understand there is no prosperity without security. whether people like it or not, we are living in a world where there is greater insecurity and a greater risk to our security than we have seen for a generation or more. when that happens the first responsibility of any government is security of the nation. investing in armed forces and events is the absolute foundation on which to protect sovereignty, freedom and deliver prosperity for the country in the long term. has deliver prosperity for the country in the long term.— deliver prosperity for the country in the long term. has the chancellor iuaranteed in the long term. has the chancellor guaranteed the _ in the long term. has the chancellor guaranteed the 396 _ in the long term. has the chancellor guaranteed the 3% rise _ in the long term. has the chancellor guaranteed the 396 rise will - guaranteed the 3% rise will definitely happen between now and 2030 and should the armed forces get a pay rise in line with inflation? the commitment made by the prime minister and the chancellor hasn“t said he disagrees with spending 3%

7:47 am
kilowatt—hour of energy is fixed until the spring. that is enormously reassuring. that is not to say the people who have e—mailed you a message due on social media this morning are wrong. clearly they are not. there are millions across the country who are deeply concerned about how they will make ends meet this winter and going into next year. the scale of government intervention, to keep energy prices down. compared to an average bill of £6,000, intervention means the average bill will be no more than £2500. still a lot of money but a lot less than otherwise. that is a big amount of money for the government to spend me to give people certainty over their winter. as the chancellor also said, the treasury is looking at speed as to what long—term intervention might be but also what is affordable and

this good morning, welcome to breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. our headlines today. i do want to accept responsibility and say sorry for the mistakes that have been made. in an interview with the bbc, prime minister liz truss apologises for the mini budget, saying she went "too far and too fast", as her new chancellor reverses almost all of the planned tax cuts. . what does the biggest u—turn in british economic history mean for you? british economic history mean for ou? ~ british economic history mean for ou? . ., ., , , british economic history mean for ou? ~ ., .,, , ., you? well, almost definitely, more tax, you? well, almost definitely, more tax. bubbly — you? well, almost definitely, more tax, bubbly less _ you? well, almost definitely, more tax, bubbly less support _ you? well, almost definitely, more tax, bubbly less support when - you? well, almost definitely, more tax, bubbly less support when it i tax, bubbly less support when it comes to next years energy bills. i am asking traders in birmingham what they make of it. living with mnd. rob burrow and his wife lindsey share the challenges they're facing together, three years after the rugby league star was diagnosed with motor neurone disease. it morning. a chilly start for most

of us this morning, also some patchy fog, especially across the southern half of the country. that will gradually thin and left and for most of us it will be dry with some hazy sunshine. i will have all of the details later in the programme. it's tuesday the 18th of october. liz truss says she will not be stepping down as prime minister, despite her premiership hanging by a thread in the aftermath of the mini budget. speaking to the bbc�*s political editor, chris mason, she apologised for mistakes, but said she had acted swiftly to correct them. first of all, i do want to accept responsibility and say sorry for the mistakes that have been made. i wanted to act — to help people with their energy bills, to deal with the issue of high taxes. but we went too far and too fast. i've acknowledged that. i've put in place a new chancellor with a new strategy to restore
8:02 am
economic stability. and now what i'm focused on is delivering for the public. let's be clear, though, and blunt. your very vision for britain is dead, isn't it? what i'm focused on is delivering on energy supplies, on delivering new roads, new opportunities across our country. we have to make sure, though, that we have economic stability, and that has to be my priority as prime minister. i've acted in the national interest. i remain committed to the vision. but we will have to deliver that in a different way. and that's what i'm determined to do with the new chancellor, jeremy hunt. i do think it is the mark of an honest politician who does say, "yes, i've made a mistake," i've addressed that mistake, and now we need to deliver for people what we've said we will deliver. was rishi sunak right all along? we had a very robust leadership campaign this summer where we debated ideas, we debated philosophy. and he suggested your ideas would be a disaster, and he's been proven

right, hasn't he? well, as i've said, i'm committed to a low—tax, high—growth economy, but i have to reflect the real issues we face. and my responsibility as prime minister is making sure that we have economic stability, that we protect people's jobs. we've got the lowest unemployment since 1974, and we get through this very difficult winter. what i have delivered is we've already reversed the national insurance increase, which is important forfamilies. we've also delivered on the energy price guarantee. yes, chris, i couldn't deliver everything i wanted. well, not everything. most of it's been junked. well, i delivered the energy price guarantee and the national insurance, and we will continue to work to deliver economic growth for our country. lots of people are facing massive increases in mortgage payments, and analysts say at least some of that is because of what you've done in the last five or six weeks.
8:04 am
what do you say to them? well, look, i understand it is very difficult for families across the country. and they're blaming you. and the fact is, we are facing both a difficult economic situation internationally, where interest rates are rising, as well as pressure, pressure here — pressure here in britain. but do you accept that you have made it worse? well. .. what we've been through over the last few years is a very low interest rate world, and that is changing across the globe. but do you accept that what you've done in the last five weeks since you took office has made it worse for people? it's made it harderfor people to pay their bills. well, first of all, i have said sorry for the fact that we did act too far. we went too far and too fast. and that has consequences for people, on people's bills. the reason i did that was to make sure that we were dealing
8:05 am
with the immediate issue of the energy crisis, and we did help people with their energy bills. now, interest rates are a matter for the bank of england. they are rising internationally. we will do what we can to help families. i'm particularly focused on helping the most vulnerable families, but we are in a difficult situation as a country, and this difficult situation is being faced around the world. and we've had to adjust our policies as a consequence, chris. what do you say to people who say that you are now a prime minister in name only, that you've had to junk almost your entire plan, the very thing that you were elected upon? you now have a chancellor, who is executing a plan that is a million miles away from your own, and you've acknowledged that what you've had to pause, what you've had to stop is still what you really believe. you're now leading a government that's executing an agenda that you don't even believe in. well, i appointed the chancellor because i knew that we had to pursue
8:06 am
these policies. i knew that we had to act to protect economic stability. and that's why i appointed jeremy hunt. and i've been working very closely with the chancellor over the last few days to make sure that we have the right package in place. but it would have been completely irresponsible for me not to act in the national interest in the way i have. and, you know, lam somebody who's honest. i've said that mistakes were made, but i've also acted to address that, to make sure the country is in a strong position. and that's what i will continue to do as prime minister. can you convince our listener and viewer that you have credibility still as prime minister because a reasonable—minded observer might wonder from hereon in whether they can believe what you're saying, because so much of what you've said in your early weeks in office has been binned. yes, i have been honest with the public about what we've needed to change because of the circumstances.
8:07 am
but i am completely committed to delivering for this country. and that's why i'm in the job. that's why i get up each morning, chris, is because i want this country to be a better place where everybody has opportunities and everyone can succeed. 0k. that's what motivates me. do you feel humiliated? i feel, first of all, that i did make mistakes. and i've been upfront and honest about that. yes. it hasn't been perfect. it's been a difficult time. and i think we did an interview before i got thejob, and i said it was going to be tough because of the circumstances we're facing. has it been harder than you could possibly have imagined? i was expecting it to be tough and it has been tough, i think it's fair to say. let me read you some of what your own mps have told me about what's been going on. "it's checkmate." we're stuffed." "it's dire."
8:08 am
"they've taken no responsibility for hiking mortgage rates." "we're all done for." these are your own colleagues. what do you say to them? because they're convinced that as a result of your actions, they and your party are going to lose. what i say to them is that we should be focusing on the people of the united kingdom and how we deliver for them. we were elected on the conservative manifesto in 2019 to level up our country, to provide more opportunities, to deliver for our public services. that's what i'm focused on doing, and i don't think people want to hear about internal discussions in the conservative party. and will you lead the conservatives into the next general election? i will lead the conservatives into the next general election. definitely? well, look, yeah. i'm not focused on internal debates within the conservative party. but you need to be. you know you need to be in order to stay in office. the important thing is that i've been elected to this position to deliver for the country. we are facing very tough times.
8:09 am
we simply cannot afford to spend our time talking about the conservative party rather than what we need to deliver. and that is my message to my colleagues. and you're staying put. how ever had the poll ratings get, how ever much noise there is amongst your own backbenchers, you're not shifting. i will stay in the job to deliver for the national interest. prime minister, thank you. thank you. so, that interview took place last night. we decided we would play it in full this morning, rather than just clips, so you get a true sense of what liz truss had to say. we will speak to chris who did the interview in about 20 minutes, to get a sense of what he takes away from that, and where liz truss is this morning. from that, and where liz truss is this morning-— from that, and where liz truss is this morning. let's get the weather first now, this morning. let's get the weather first now. with _ this morning. let's get the weather first now, with carol. _ good morning. if you live in the
8:10 am
southern half of the country and you have not stepped outside, there is some dense fog outside, as you can see from this picture taken earlier in shrewsbury. this fog will slowly thin and left and fought most of us we are looking at a dry day with some hazy sunshine. showers in aberdeenshire easing, and for northern ireland and england, dry with some sunshine as we go through this morning. the same can be sent through the midlands and into east anglia and kent. for parts of wales and south—west england there will be and south—west england there will be a bit more cloud and through the afternoon we could catch a shower across parts of devon and cornwall but they will be the exception rather than the rule. some low cloud starting to come in across north—east england and eastern scotland. temperatures today, nine in lerwick to 20 in st helier, so above average temperatures for october. this evening and overnight, the cloud coming in from the north sea becomes more extensive as it pushes west and then we have got some showery outbreaks of heavy rain
8:11 am
moving north. some of this will be thundering. gusty winds as well across the south—west, and here it will be a mild night as we push further north, and a chilly one. this rain is moving up the western side of the country tomorrow, a lot of cloud across scotland and northern england, away from the west where we will see some sunshine. behind all of this we will see a return to some sunshine once again with highs up to 22 in st helier. incredible, 22 degrees. mar; with highs up to 22 in st helier. incredible, 22 degrees. way above averade. incredible, 22 degrees. way above average. thank _ incredible, 22 degrees. way above average. thank you _ incredible, 22 degrees. way above average. thank you very _ incredible, 22 degrees. way above average. thank you very much. i for the past couple of years on breakfast we've been following the story of the former rugby league player rob burrow, who's living with motor neurone disease, and tonight a new documentary about hisjourney airs on bbc two and iplayer. "rob burrow: living with mnd" follows the love and support of rob's family, friends and the wider rugby league community. take a look at this.
8:12 am
we will speak to rob and his wife lindsey in a moment here in the studio. yeah, i don't want you falling off them before school and breaking a leg or something. i'm a prisoner in my own body. that is the way mnd gets you. the lights are on, but no one is home. i think like you but my mind doesn't work right. i can't move my body. life was perfect. you know, we had everything. we had nice holidays, three beautiful children. what more could we ask for? and i think sometimes looking back now, you don't realise those little things and how important those things are. and until something affects you like mnd, thatjust completely changes because, you know, suddenly, you know, life is never going to be the same again.
8:13 am
we're going through the jungle! all right, she's letting us go. thank you. it kills me seeing lindsey juggling everything because i was such a hands—on dad. you hate to see your wife with the burden of doing it alone. you're like a dingle dangle scarecrow. i think i would have broken down if it was me. but lindsey has this unwavering patience with everyone. i love going swimming because it is good for my movement and linds can do some more exercises with me because she is a physio. i find it easier to walk in the pool and the water makes it not as uncomfortable on myjoints, which are very stiff from the lack of use.
8:14 am
first when rob was diagnosed, i was the one that would break down in tears and rob would be, you know, "pull yourself together, lindsey, you know, we can get through this." and he'sjust so positive and itjust ripples through the whole family. put your flour on the top and then you've got to roll it out. look at that, looks like an alien.
8:15 am
i could not be any more proud of my kids. they are living their best lives and i couldn't ask for any more from them. i love my wife and kids more than anything, and that will make me more determined to be alive. i'm going to tell you how to watch the film and just a moment. but i'm delighted to say that rob and lindsey are with us now, good morning to you both. thank you so much for coming in for the first time. it's great to have you as a guest here in the studio. i'm going to explain four people at home, rob is using an eye gaze machine which he uses to talk to us and answer questions but it can be a little bit and predictable, and slow at times. so we have got the question that we want to ask him, and we have got them already prepared, haven't we, rob? we gave him some homework!
8:16 am

8:30 am
they say the decision not to is "unlawful and irrational." the family's main concern is about this issue. each time we think of the people, the two met police officers that, you know, did this to our beloved son, they are still allowed to continue with their normal dayjob as though they haven't done anything wrong. the iopc says it has no indication that officers breached police professional standards or committed a criminal offence. commuters are facing more rush—hour disruption this morning around the dartford crossing. for a second day, eco—protesters who have scaled the qe2 bridge have closed the area. yesterday, drivers faced two hours of queues during rush hour and six miles of congestion. and for all the latest travel updates throughout the morning, tune into your bbc local radio

8:42 am
course. when i got there, downing street is a massive building, looks like a terrorist as from the outside but inside it is a cavernous web of offices and corridors. no doubt the mood was pretty dark and tense. the prime minister herself when i was chatting to her, i have got to know her in thisjob chatting to her, i have got to know her in this job and otherjobs was perfectly similar made time for small port. she talked about the art work on the wall in downing street. —— time for small talk stimulus to help her dig herself out of this spectacular hole she is in. the room we were in is where lady thatcher did her day—to—day work when she was prime minister. a huge portrait of her on the wall looking down. he could not wonder at the memories and history in that room over the

8:45 am
yeah. river, my older brother. he's just the coolest brother ever. he always said to us, you know, "i want to be a rock star, but plan b, i'll be james bond." so that was just — that's river in a nutshell. river reeves was quinn's big brother. he also played guitar in viola beach. | tv: tributes have been paid to four| members of a british indie rock band and their manager, who've been killed in a car crash in sweden. i remember i was playing in my back garden, playing football. and seeing the police car drive past. my stomach dropped, and it was that gut feeling that river had gone. you can't put into words how horrific it is. his big brother was 19 when he died. quinn wasjust ii, and river's death shattered the whole family. river's my stepson. i promised his mum, when she was poorly in the hospice that i would... sorry, i'm going to get upset. ..that i would look after him
8:46 am
and make sure his dreams came true. so i carry a lot of guilt. and i think in that fallout of that grief and guilt, it was hard. it was hard to remember. i had little kids and phil at home. and i think that's why child bereavement for me was so, so important. just the ability to talk, and talk to you and talk openly. child bereavement uk is the children in need funded charity which introduced quinn to claire. claire was the counsellor, who helped him and his siblings deal with their emotions. i was struggling in my schoolwork. i couldn't concentrate. i was struggling to sleep. i was always overthinking. i was worrying about things that would never happen. you know, i was having nightmares and stuff about my brother and stuff like that. because of course you were so very young when river died, you werejust ii. it is a very british thing, isn't it, that with death and grief and loss that you just soldier on, and aren't children resilient? and, you know, they'll get over it. children find it very difficult.
8:47 am
they haven't got the voice to articulate how they're feeling. and child bereavement uk gave them that voice. one, two, in. today, quinn is in a good place. during a gap year, he's coaching kids to take up the sport he loves. and all of this could have been a dream which he might never have fulfilled. it reallyjust put me on track, and to deal with my emotions. scary thing is, i don't know if i'd still be here today, sort of thing. so having that counselling, child bereavement was so important to me. i filmed that clip. it was easter 2014. come dance, kids. come on, kids. let's all dance. and, hilariously, they all got up. jasmine got punched in the eye by dylan. then there was a big scream. and then in the meantime, quinlan's, like, still grooving in the background.
8:48 am
that's our family. just mayhem, you know? there was a time when this would have been too raw to recall, too painful to relive. that'sjust the memories i have, the happy memories i have of him just enjoying, you know, having a good time. that was the first single. the difference that accessing bereavement support has made to quinn has been absolutely huge. so this was river's first ever guitar. he got when he was eight years old, nine, i think. he was a very young person, feeling really overwhelmed. that's a pretty special picture. pretty cool. and by providing a safe space for quinn to be able to talk about the impact that his brother's death had had on him, enabled him to begin to rebuild his life again. and that's why the children in need funding is so important.
8:49 am
there were times when i would struggle to listen to the music, whereas now i love to listen to it. i mean, that's how grief changes. and this is who quinn will bring to mind on his new challenge. the big brother, who will forever be 19. good luck! hooray! good luck with your rickshaw challenge. i think he's going to smash it. i think he's a great role model. i think he really wants to reach out to young people and say, "look, you know, whatever you're going through, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. and the ride, ithink, gives gives him an opportunity to do that. so...good luck, son. i know you'll smash it. come on, quinn. yeah. come on, quinn. we're dead proud of you. absolutely. go for it, quinn dog.
