first, tomorrow's front pages. the times leads on the prime minister warning the government can't fix everyone�*s problems as he tries to regain public trust with the economy by being honest. alongside a photo of rishi sunak laughing with the king at a cop27 reception earlier today, the daily telegraph has as its lead — pensions being targeted in a stealth tax raid. the is front page leads on the recent cyberattack which wiped out nhs systems, leaving patients�* records in i. c haos." the daily mail leads on an update to the story of the disappearance of lord lucan, suspected of murdering his nanny almost 50 years ago, as police now reveal if cluedo cards were found in his abandoned car. moving on to the financial times, it leads on the thousands of workers facing the axe at twitter

after elon musk�*s takeover. and finally, the sun reports that former model and actress patsy kensit is set to join the cast of eastenders. so let's begin. thanks forjoining us. yasmin, front page of the financial times weekend, our top story, elon musk cutting a lot ofjobs and he has said it is unfortunate what has happened but that twitter is losing $4 million per day, that is the latest from the owner of twitter. does that justify cutting so manyjobs so quickly? he cutting so manyjobs so quickly? in? because he knew that, so why did he buy it? it is interesting because he is a maverick and what is happening is a maverick and what is happening is also, advertisers are getting extremely wary, partly because he has been re—tweeting stuff that really does make people anxious, one of them apparently, allegedly was

this thing that is raging across social media that the attack on nancy pelosi's husband, this horrible attack, was connected to homosexual activities and all these conspiracy theories, and elon musk has no business adding fuel to that fire, so there is that going on, but interestingly, i was looking at some of the information coming through, the workers are absolutely not going to go away quietly. america is famous because it can have very effective class action against people who behave like that. you can'tjust people who behave like that. you can't just get people who behave like that. you can'tjust get rid of thousands of people without them fighting back. i think there will be a fightback. it does leave a moral question for those who use twitter. in the next few days we have got to decide and that will only add to the chaos that

is going on. that will only add to the chaos that is going on-— that will only add to the chaos that is going on— that will only add to the chaos that is auoin on. ~ ., ., ~ ., is going on. what do you think about what elon musk _ is going on. what do you think about what elon musk is _ is going on. what do you think about what elon musk is doing? _ is going on. what do you think about what elon musk is doing? it - is going on. what do you think about what elon musk is doing? it is - is going on. what do you think about what elon musk is doing? it is a - what elon musk is doing? it is a roblem what elon musk is doing? it is a problem outside _ what elon musk is doing? it is a problem outside of _ what elon musk is doing? it is a problem outside of america - what elon musk is doing? it is a problem outside of america as| what elon musk is doing? it is a - problem outside of america as well, and i_ problem outside of america as well, and i have _ problem outside of america as well, and i have heard testimony from employees today that woke up in australia — employees today that woke up in australia today and found they aren't — australia today and found they aren't locked out of their systems and can't — aren't locked out of their systems and can't get on any of their systems. _ and can't get on any of their systems, —— found they are. it is an issue _ systems, —— found they are. it is an issue with _ systems, —— found they are. it is an issue with employment law around the world ilut— issue with employment law around the world but what i think it's really interesting about this is the way that people continue to use twitter and if— that people continue to use twitter and if they— that people continue to use twitter and if they look for a new platform and if they look for a new platform and whether they stick with it, if they decide to take up elon musk's challenge — they decide to take up elon musk's challenge of paying to have their notification, many interesting things— notification, many interesting things ahead, but what is interesting is how much it has been part of— interesting is how much it has been part of our— interesting is how much it has been part of our lives, this social network. _ part of our lives, this social network, through which we are talking — network, through which we are talking right now. it is fascinating. the decision is this man—

the government's autumn statement. it talks about 2 million pension savers who now face tax charges on their retirement funds because of potential government plans. yasmin, is it fair to be targeting pensioners at this time? i actually do. i'm a pensioner, _ pensioners at this time? i actually do. i'm a pensioner, working - do. i'm a pensioner, working pensioner, many of us are, and there are pensioners and there are pensioners, there are those who depend entirely on the state pension and they should be totally protected as was promised with the triple lock. but i don't think it is fair any more, especially as young people have so many problems and so many ways in which they cannot get stable lives, economically stable, that we pensioners who have savings and who

have investments, should just hang onto this. it is time for a means tested policy that protects pensioners in need and does not protect pensioners like me. do you auree protect pensioners like me. do you a . ree with protect pensioners like me. do you agree with that? _ protect pensioners like me. do you agree with that? i _ protect pensioners like me. do you agree with that? i do _ protect pensioners like me. do you agree with that? i do to _ protect pensioners like me. do you agree with that? i do to an - protect pensioners like me. do you agree with that? i do to an extent. | agree with that? i do to an extent. the government _ agree with that? i do to an extent. the government that _ agree with that? i do to an extent. the government that is _ agree with that? i do to an extent. the government that is going - agree with that? i do to an extent. the government that is going to i agree with that? i do to an extent. | the government that is going to be agree with that? i do to an extent. i the government that is going to be a tricky— the government that is going to be a tricky tightrope to walk because a lot of— tricky tightrope to walk because a lot of pensioners vote tory, for example. — lot of pensioners vote tory, for example, and that will be difficult for them, — example, and that will be difficult forthem, but example, and that will be difficult for them, but there example, and that will be difficult forthem, but there is example, and that will be difficult for them, but there is a £15 billion black— for them, but there is a £15 billion black hole — for them, but there is a £15 billion black hole to fill in the government and officials will be looking around to see _ and officials will be looking around to see where they can get the money from and _ to see where they can get the money from and we — to see where they can get the money from and we already know the triple lock is _ from and we already know the triple lock is under threat. reports it will be — lock is under threat. reports it will be going down to a double lock, and what _ will be going down to a double lock, and what that means, we are not quite _ and what that means, we are not quite sure — and what that means, we are not quite sure yet. but we know every single _ quite sure yet. but we know every single policy that was proposed previously is under review so we are going _ previously is under review so we are

and people who were not capable of delivering anything, they messed up our economy. why should the people, ordinary people, pay for their mistakes and the chaos and their deliberate failure to lead properly? i'm so angry with this article. i wish i could talk to him myself. saying, don't give us words that you have compassion, rishi sunak and what you do not understand. some would argue _ what you do not understand. some would argue it _ what you do not understand. some would argue it is _ what you do not understand. some would argue it is not _ what you do not understand. some would argue it is not his _ what you do not understand. some would argue it is not his fault - would argue it is not his fault where he has come from, that he has money, that he is megarich. a politician. it money, that he is megarich. a politician-— politician. it is not his fault his wife had non-dom _ politician. it is not his fault his wife had non-dom status... it| politician. it is not his fault his - wife had non-dom status... it was wife had non—dom status... it was his fault. he has come through the hedge fund sector and through the city which is not a sin, i admit, but if you look at his record, he is a small state, a tiny state low

taxman. that is what he is still aiming to be, and the state we are in, which is the fault of his party, this government, and the previous government, the last government and the previous government, he can't expect us to pay for those mistakes. and if they can't, we should not vote for him.— and if they can't, we should not vote for him.- i _ and if they can't, we should not vote for him.- i think - and if they can't, we should not vote for him. rgeri? i think that vote for him. geri? i think that rishi sunak — vote for him. geri? i think that rishi sunak is _ vote for him. geri? i think that rishi sunak is a _ vote for him. geri? i think that rishi sunak is a man _ vote for him. geri? i think that rishi sunak is a man who - vote for him. geri? i think that rishi sunak is a man who as i rishi sunak is a man who as chancellor faced many challenges that a _ chancellor faced many challenges that a chancellor could not expect to have _ that a chancellor could not expect to have faced and i think his message _ to have faced and i think his message would be, stable finances and then— message would be, stable finances and then no tax which is a different message _ and then no tax which is a different message to — and then no tax which is a different message to what liz truss was projecting —— low tax. i message to what liz truss was projecting —— low tax. lthink message to what liz truss was projecting —— low tax. i think he has attempted to answer the things around _ has attempted to answer the things around his— has attempted to answer the things around his wife but i don't think this is— around his wife but i don't think this is a — around his wife but i don't think this is a country where we demonise

wales were beaten by 158—6 by the defending champions, with the french scoring 16 first half tries. afterwards wales' captain stuart williams said he was low but proud. and there was also defeat for scotland in their tournament opener, they were beaten 62—41 by the united states, who are playing in the world cup for the very first time. on to rugby union and exeter chiefs have announced they're re—structuring some of their finances to mitigate the effects of the covid pandemic. the club have called an extraordinary general meeting to get support to sell off what they're calling "a non—rugby asset". meanwhile, the men's team have been in action tonight at northampton and it was a very close game at franklins gardens. the chiefs eventually losing 26—19 to the saints. tommy freeman's second try ultimately proving the difference. meanwile, england's women are heavy favourites for their world cup semi—final against canada tomorrow.

a year ago, canada, who aren't professional, were beaten 51—12 by england — that was england's 17th win in a row. now, they can boast a record 29 consecutive test victories. the winners will meet either new zealand or france in the final. i think it has hit me over the last couple of days, the magnitude of it. we played at eden park the first weekend and it was incredible. it is going to be pretty similar for this weekend. a semifinal of the world cup in new zealand is going to be an incredible experience. meanwhile, the line up for england's men's international against argentina on sunday has been announced and northampton lock alex coles will make his england debut. owen farrell will stay as captain — he's been paired with manu tuilagi at centre. farrell is back after being passed fit following a fortnight off for a concussion. on to the football world cup

which starts later this month, and there's been more fall out from fifa's letter asking players to focus on football and not be dragged into what they describe as "every ideological or political battle that exists". human rights watch say the letter was "nothing short of appalling." and amnesty pointed out qatar's treatment of migrant workers. the world cup has been mired in controversy over the hosts' human rights record and stance on same sex relationships. england's harry kane and nine other captains of european teams will be wearing one love armbands. the tournament organisers have said everyone is welcome. well, aside from the controversy surrounding the tournament being hosted in qatar, the timing of it has also been widely criticised. the last round of premier league fixtures takes place on the 13th november, with the world cup starting just a week later. liverpool managerjurgen klopp says any international player who gets injured now is likely to miss the tournament.

these problems were so clear, they were so clear and nobody mentioned it for one time until three, four weeks before the world cup when all of a sudden a player got injured and, "oh, he is not going to play in the world cup." this specific problem is not new. after a long season it happens everywhere in the world but now, starting the world cup a week after the last game, "oh, that is a big risk." crazy. aberdeen leap—frogged hibs into third in the scottish premiership with an impressive 4—1win over them at pittodrie. in the other match, livingstone won 3—2 at kilmarnock. in the week where hereford's legend ronnie radford sadly passed away, his old side couldn't manage another giant killing in the first round of the fa cup. they were beaten by portsmouth 3—1 at home. the hereford fans paid their respect to their most famous ex—player and it was fitting

that their only goalscorer tonight was miles storey, wearing his number 11 shirt. it was 1—1 at half—time but league one's portsmouth were too good and went on to win 3—1. joe pigott with the third. in the night's other game, sheffield wednesday beat morecambe. europe have had a great first day at the breeders cup in the usa, the most prestigious race meeting in america. out of six races at keeneland today — europe won three. this is the british—trained mischief magic winning thejuvenille sprint turf for trainer charlie appleby and newly crowned british champion flatjockey william buick. there are nine more races tomorrow culminating in the big one — the breeders cup classic. and that's all the sport for now. a ridge of high pressure on friday

brought a cold and frosty start, but a beautiful day right across the country, hardly a cloud in the sky for many. temperatures did recover to highs ofjust under 14 degrees in swanage in dorset. it's all change as we move into the weekend, the satellite picture showing this area of low pressure, the isobars tightly squeezed around it, and it is going to throw yet more cloud, wind and rain in our direction. ahead of it we will see the temperatures falling away but as the night progresses, cloud will continue to build and the rain arrive so here not quite as cold. it does mean sheltered, rural parts of eastern scotland could see a touch of frost and low single figures. that is where the best of the morning sunshine is likely to be on saturday. the cloud, wind and rain will continue to push in from the west and that is going to spread its way steadily eastwards. by the afternoon, it will be sitting across scotland, down through the spine of the country and it will weaken a little bit and it will be cloudy

with outbreaks of rain. blustery winds and that is going to spread its way steadily eastward. by the afternoon, we will be sitting across scotland, blustery winds as the rain pushes through. the best of the brighter to the last couple of days, 10—14 degrees. if you have plans for bonfire night, draw a line from let's say south—east england through the wash, down to the isle of wight, anywhere east of that could be cloudy. we could see that rain pep up through the south—east in the early hours of sunday morning and lingerfor a time. whatever happens on sunday, low pressure not far away as well throw in bands or showers which may merge together for longer spells of rain for a time on sunday. be prepared for a little bit of everything for the second half of the weekend. there will be some drier, brighter interludes and those

temperatures similar values, 11—14c. into monday and tuesday, it stays blustery with plenty of showers around. the wind turning more southerly so it will be milder. have a lovely weekend.
