in interest rates in 33 years, the paper warns that there are "stormy times ahead." there are two main stories on the front page of the times — the bank of england's warning that the uk is facing its longest recession since the 1920s, and there's coverage of that report into the manchester arena bombing, alongside a photo of saffie—rose roussos, who died in the attack. the daily mail also leads on coverage of the manchester arena bombing inquiry, and asks "what on earth has happened to our 999 services?" and the manchester evening news has a striking front page after that report into the bombing — it simply says "never again". the back page of the times reports that a small group of england fans will be paid by qatar to be "spies" at the world cup. that's the story we will come to at the end. but first of all, let's get to the economy. let's get stuck in with the daily telegraph. the main

story is the chancellor to launch capital gains arrayed, he has to plug the £50 billion hole in public finances, the savers, landlords and entrepreneurs face that hit. why is that? i entrepreneurs face that hit. why is that? ., �* 4' entrepreneurs face that hit. why is that? ., �* ~ ., , . that? i don't think he has too much choice, to that? i don't think he has too much choice. to be _ that? i don't think he has too much choice, to be honest. _ that? i don't think he has too much choice, to be honest. you'll- that? i don't think he has too much choice, to be honest. you'll hear. choice, to be honest. you'll hear the pro minister talk a lot about the pro minister talk a lot about the 2019 manifesto and trying to stick to that partially in an attempt to keep mps at bay so they don't do anything too radical, like with liz truss. we have a mandate, we will stick to the manifesto that one us that mandate — in that manifesto, it says no rises on national insurance, vat or income tax. but there is still a £50 billion whole, so where will that

get covered? revenue could be raised in between raising taxes and also public spending, this makes it very difficult politically going forward because lots of mps will be very nervous at all these ideas that are being rolled out by the treasury to test the waters and see the reaction. these will not be very easy to sell to constituents, and these very people, the entrepreneurs, landlords, savers, the people the conservative party should be trying to court, it will be very challenging. i should be trying to court, it will be very challenging.— should be trying to court, it will be very challenging. i was about to make a similar _ be very challenging. i was about to make a similar point, _ be very challenging. i was about to make a similar point, suggesting l make a similar point, suggesting that savers, landlords and entrepreneurs, as described there by the telegraph, form a large base of the conservative party voters who have made their party the biggest in the country in the last few elections. but there has to be away the chancellor to plug that hole in

public finances. how do you see it? it's a political nightmare because they don't— it's a political nightmare because they don't have many levers left the pole _ they don't have many levers left the pole there — they don't have many levers left the pole. there is a massive black hole in the _ pole. there is a massive black hole in the public— pole. there is a massive black hole in the public finances —— left to putt _ in the public finances —— left to putt it's— in the public finances —— left to pull. it's clear cuts are coming, and youte _ pull. it's clear cuts are coming, and you're looking at ordinary pe0pte. — and you're looking at ordinary people, notjust the most and you're looking at ordinary people, not just the most vulnerable but also _ people, not just the most vulnerable but also ordinary working people across _ but also ordinary working people across the — but also ordinary working people across the board, middle—class families, — across the board, middle—class families, people who vote conservative — everybody is finding things _ conservative — everybody is finding things really difficult, and in this telegraph piece, they refer to the fact that — telegraph piece, they refer to the fact that the prime minister, the chancellor has repeatedly said that people _ chancellor has repeatedly said that people with broader shoulders need to be able _ people with broader shoulders need to be able to take on some of the buroen— to be able to take on some of the burden of— to be able to take on some of the burden of this. so if they are looking — burden of this. so if they are looking at— burden of this. so if they are looking at making massive spending cuts, then— looking at making massive spending cuts, then they obviously see that politically — cuts, then they obviously see that politically it's very hard for them to hot— politically it's very hard for them to not be — politically it's very hard for them to not be increasing taxes on people who have _ to not be increasing taxes on people who have greater resources. but it means _

the politicians? extra costs on most asects of the politicians? extra costs on most aspects of our _ the politicians? extra costs on most aspects of our day-to-day - the politicians? extra costs on most aspects of our day-to-day lives. - the politicians? extra costs on most| aspects of our day-to-day lives. the aspects of our day—to—day lives. the key things the times picks up on is higher mortgage payments when people's fixed term deals expire. and this will be really worrying because other newspapers tonight think there's not much help coming forward for homeowners or people who will be struggling with these mortgages because of the £50 billion hole that has to be filled by the government. the political conundrum here is that a lot of people can associate these higher mortgage costs, yes, there have been global issues, whether it's russia pots war in ukraine or recovering from covid, but we can't get away from the fact that there is the impact of the mini budget, people will associate that

with the higher mortgage costs which could create some political challenges for the prime minister who is trying to distance himself, they may not be able to get away from it. this they may not be able to get away from it. �* , they may not be able to get away from it. . , . ., they may not be able to get away from it. . , _, ., they may not be able to get away fromit. ., ,. ,, from it. as we continue to discuss this, a from it. as we continue to discuss this. a coople _ from it. as we continue to discuss this, a couple figures _ from it. as we continue to discuss this, a couple figures from - from it. as we continue to discuss this, a couple figures from that i this, a couple figures from that article, some more figures — according to the bank, unemployment is forecast to double to 6.5%, household disposable income will fall around £800 next year and the pound itself has been down 2% against the dollar. tough figures all around. it’s against the dollar. tough figures all around. �* , . against the dollar. tough figures all around. �*, ., , , all around. it's a pretty grim icture. all around. it's a pretty grim picture. life _ all around. it's a pretty grim picture. life is _ all around. it's a pretty grim picture. life is already - all around. it's a pretty grim picture. life is already very. picture. life is already very difficult _ picture. life is already very difficult for many people, and it seems — difficult for many people, and it seems like it will only get more difficult — seems like it will only get more difficult. it's a strange position to be _ difficult. it's a strange position to be in— difficult. it's a strange position to be in because obviously, the public— to be in because obviously, the public has _ to be in because obviously, the public has got used two, because of

headline, "neveragain." manchester evening news had that headline, "never again." the daily mail also focuses on the subject, and the headline, "what on earth has happened to our 999 services?" the fact that the inquiry chairman said that identical mistakes were made to those in the aftermath of the 77 terror attacks in 2005, i2 those in the aftermath of the 77 terror attacks in 2005, 12 years previously. in the inquiry, they made the point that there was a similar attitude taken during the bombings and in the manchester arena attacked that the emergency services, the people who were coordinating the response just couldn't believe that this was happening in couldn't believe that this was ha enin: . , couldn't believe that this was happening— couldn't believe that this was hauenina . , ., , happening in their city and they didn't retract _ happening in their city and they didn't retract quickly _ happening in their city and they didn't retract quickly enough i didn't retract quickly enough because _ didn't retract quickly enough because theyjust weren't able to enact _ because theyjust weren't able to enact that, they weren't able to believe — enact that, they weren't able to believe it— enact that, they weren't able to believe it was real —— didn't react quickly— believe it was real —— didn't react quickly enough. the details are just so awful— quickly enough. the details are just so awful about the failings to get

in my spare time i spent an awful lot of time studying notjust presidential history, but presidential history, but presidential trivia. 0f presidential history, but presidential trivia. of the 29 presidents who stepped down who had a chance to run again, six tried to run again, only one succeeded, grover cleveland back in the late 19th century. where would mr trump's chances of coming back stand right now? it chances of coming back stand right now? ., , ~' now? it does feel like the republicans _ now? it does feel like the republicans are _ now? it does feel like the republicans are looking l now? it does feel like the - republicans are looking likely to win control again of at least the congress. this to me feels like he's just testing the water, trying to create a bit of a buzz around himself, putting the idea out that if they do well — if you wanted to run, you'd say you were doing it, but there's a caveat here which is success, and the success of the people that he's backing across the states. so i think he's putting a

market down, i don't think it is guaranteed was up as the story also says, there could be a no trump candidate again from the republican side which could end up splitting the republican vote. as we saw with borisjohnson, he didn't end up actually going for prime minister ship again, and it feels like testing the water once again. if testing the water once again. if you're donald trump, it's easy looking at counterparts who tried to come back, like borisjohnson, who didn't make it — but this week, looking at net and lula in brazil, both dominant figures in their respective countries who have both come back. —— netanyahu. should there be parallels? i come back. -- netanyahu. should there be parallels?— there be parallels? i think that all of those people — there be parallels? i think that all of those people are _ there be parallels? i think that all of those people are in _ there be parallels? i think that all of those people are in very - of those people are in very different circumstances, but i think it does— different circumstances, but i think it does show that there is always the potential for people who have

the information war. but given that it's been in black—and—white in the national newspaper, in terms of what they are trying to do, i'm not sure how successful it will be. we they are trying to do, i'm not sure how successful it will be.- how successful it will be. we are told they will _ how successful it will be. we are told they will receive _ how successful it will be. we are told they will receive free - how successful it will be. we are | told they will receive free flights, apartment accommodation, and £60 a day spending money. it’s day spending money. it's extraordinary, _ day spending money. it's extraordinary, the package offered to them _ extraordinary, the package offered to them to do this. it says obviously that they need to be there for the _ obviously that they need to be there for the whole duration, and they're all supposedly flying out on the 17th so— all supposedly flying out on the 17th so the week after next. it's a very strange story, but obviously chimes _ very strange story, but obviously chimes with what we've seen of the qatari _ chimes with what we've seen of the qatari government trying to sweep some _ qatari government trying to sweep some of— qatari government trying to sweep some of the criticisms, the build—up of the _

disallowed for off—side. manchester united will have to go through the play—off round, if they're to reach the last 16. they beat real sociedad i—0 courtesy of alejandro garnacho's goal, but they finish second in their group behind the spanish and when we are not, we are disappointed about it. but finally, you have to say, we went tonight, it was a clean sheet tonight. we created some great chances. we have to score more goals. but finally, it is what it is. well, west ham beat fcsb 3—0 in romania, in theirfinal europa conference league group game. david moyes�* side had already qualified for the last 16 as group winners and sent out a young side, but it was the experienced pablo fornals who gave west ham the lead. it was a night divin

mubama will remember — the 18—year—old helped make it 2—0 on his first team debut. it was later confirmed as an own goal, though. fornals then claimed his second of the night and west ham's third. they played six, won six in their group — the first side in the short history of the conference league to do that. theirfinal group game against istanbul basaksehir tonight, which they lost 3—1. the turkish side advancing to the knockout stages. announced his retirement. barcelona defender gerard pique, who had a four—year spell at manchester united, will stop playing after barca's league game at the nou camp this weekend. during his time at the club, the 35—year—old's played more than 600 matches and won 30 trophies — including eight la liga titles, three champions league's, as well as a world cup and european championship with spain.

he says that now all his childhood dreams have come true, it's time to bring this journey to an end. the countdown is on to the men's football world cup — but one of england's most famous female footballers says she's disappointed it's being held in qatar. the gulf state's been criticised for its human rights record and for making homosexuality illegal. striker beth mead — who's openly gay — says she can't get behind the tournament being held out there. from the minute it was announced, i thought, it's not the best idea. i think, obviously, the way they think and how they go is the complete opposite to what i believe and respect, and although i am cheering for the boys who are going to play football there, i still don't think it is the right place, but unfortunately money talks. and the situation even of the stadiums being built and the number of people that have passed because of that, it is not an ideal situation, it's not something that i will be backing or promoting.

england have begn the wheelchair rugby league world cup with an impressive win over australia tonight. in front of a world—record crowd for wheelchair rugby league ofjust over 3,000 at the copper box arena, in london, they won 38—8. jack brown here among the players scoring two tries. england, who won it in 2008, are favourites for the title along with the holders france. all—around final medal in the artistic gymnastics at the world championships, in liverpool. gadirova had been part of the british squad who claimed team silver, and the dublin—born18—year—old followed that with a fine effort this evening to take bronze behind brazil's rebeca andrade and america's shylesejones.

gadirova's team—mate alice kinsella finished fourth. at the t20 world cup, pakistan have kept their slim semifinal hopes alive after beating south africa at the sydney cricket ground. pakistan launched a recovery after being a8 for four — with iftikhar ahmed hitting the biggest six of the tournament, 106 metres over the leg—side. they posted 185—9, and then took regular wickets to deny south africa in a chase shortened by rain. pakistan won by 33 runs on the dls method, and it means they can "just express yourself, don't worry about anything else." because we can't control everything, so we just think about that.

but still, we carried him for the last year, and we know that he has the potential to do these types of things. so i'm happy for him and, moreover, happy because we won, so it's good. and that's all your sport for now. from me and all the team, goodnight. hello. it's been a wet start to november — and, as a result of half a month's worth of rain across some southeastern areas, still flood warnings are in force. but it looks like a window of drier weather for the day ahead — before we look to storm martin out in the atlantic, which will throw these weather fronts our way — here it is, that storm system and then plenty of showers follow behind. the concern, again, is, though, this weather front will become slow moving across southern and eastern areas. and even ahead of that, there are still, through the remainder of the night, a few heavy, thundery downpours

to contend with in southern areas in particular, and gusty winds, as well. so lots of spray and standing water on the roads, if you're out in the next few hours. those gusts up to 50—60 mph. but high pressure's building in and the showers will dampen for many. and it's a cold start this morning, a touch of frost across northern areas, grass frost in the south, and even a little bit of fog because the winds are falling lighter here. so what's left of that, showery rain scoots away very quickly. we've got a weak weather front introducing showers in the northwest, perhaps some patchy fog to clear away, possibly through the central belt, 1—2 patches elsewhere. but otherwise, it does look like the driest, brightest day of the week with some good spells of sunshine coming through. and lighter winds generally, io—ia celsius is just around the average for this time of year. but that window of drier weather doesn't last — we've got, behind me, gathering some more rain, and that moves in through friday night and saturday, some quite heavy bursts of rain for a time. and then it slows progress down as it reaches southern and eastern areas. brighter skies certainly following with 1—2 showers,

ii—ia on a par with those of friday. but to say that weather front could become slow—moving once again across southern and eastern areas, the ground saturated, we still have flood warnings in force. and it's bonfire night — so it could be that we have quite a lot of cloud in eastern areas, showers and blustery winds elsewhere, but some clear spells around, as well. but there's uncertainties, as i say, through the forecast, through the latter part of the weekend, given the amount of rain that could fall in southern and eastern areas — and also because of the effect from that storm, we could have some really large waves saturday night into sunday around the western coast, 5—6—metre waves, potentially. lots of blustery showers, heavy and thundery rolling in behind our weatherfront — a distinctly unsettled—looking picture. you can find out more about the warnings and the flood warnings online.
