electricity and water. at least 19 people have died after a passenger plane crashed into lake victoria in tanzania while attempting to land in stormy weather — twenty—six of the 43 people on board were initially rescued. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are ros altman the former conservative pensions minister and parliamentary journalist, tony grew. let's start with the metro, which reports on the death of a 17—year—old boy in halifax, who passed away on bonfire night after an incident involving fireworks. the times leads with a story which suggests the government will use its foreign aid budget to deal with the arrival of refugees and migrants,

who come to the uk on small boats. as cop27 begins, the telegraph says that the uk may support reperations being paid to developing countries adversely affected by climate change. but the guardian says the uk, the us, canada and australia have fallen billions of dollars short in contributing to climate funding for developing countries. the i leads with the news that around three hundred thousand nurses are set to go on strike across the uk, and says it would impact a&e patients as well as non—urgent care. senior tories are urging the prime minister to stick to the pensions triple lock ahead of next week's autumn statement, according to the daily express. and finally, the sun reports on matt hancock's decision to head for thejungle, with pm rishi sunak reportedly saying he was "dissapointed" in the former health minister. so let's begin... the guardian. more speculation about what is going to come in the budget

11:34 pm
certainly a difficult position for the government and it's going to be even more tax rises and public service cuts on the brink of what's going to be a very difficult winter for tens of millions of people. still unclear whether or not pensions and benefits will rise in line with inflation.— line with inflation. yes. i hope that next _ line with inflation. yes. i hope that next years _ line with inflation. yes. i hope that next years rise _ line with inflation. yes. i hope that next years rise will- line with inflation. yes. i hope that next years rise will be - that next years rise will be guaranteed and safe. maybe what the uncertainty will be is the long—term operating _ uncertainty will be is the long—term operating for full benefits. the chancellor needs to show that the books _ chancellor needs to show that the books will— chancellor needs to show that the books will be balancing over the lon- books will be balancing over the long run — books will be balancing over the long run. and maybe a review of that _ long run. and maybe a review of that but — long run. and maybe a review of that. but what we must have in the cost of _ that. but what we must have in the cost of living crisis is inflation protection for some of the poorest people _ protection for some of the poorest people in— protection for some of the poorest people in the country. the protection for some of the poorest people in the country.— protection for some of the poorest people in the country. the times has a story about — people in the country. the times has a story about foreign _ people in the country. the times has a story about foreign aid _ people in the country. the times has a story about foreign aid and - people in the country. the times has a story about foreign aid and what i a story about foreign aid and what is going to count as foreign aid. just explain this to us. the foreign aid budget, which was supposed to be 77% of gdp and now is at 45%, the

times is reporting the government is planning to can spending in the uk. for example housing ukrainian people who come to this country or the cost of housing asylum seekers are going to be counted towards the uk's international aid budget. to be counted towards the uk's internationalaid budget. i to be counted towards the uk's international aid budget. ithink they predicted it could be up to one half of the uk's international aid budget would actually be spent in the united kingdom. no other major economy has calculated international aid based on the traditional way that international aid is something you that international aid is something y°u pay that international aid is something you pay other countries rather than spending within the uk. this is one of the many multiple issues that the government is going to face a reaction from their own backbenchers. it's an interesting story but like i said, it seems to me a little bit of a sneaky way of getting around not standing up to the uk's commitment what you make all truly international. r05.
11:36 pm

11:38 pm
slightly backing away. the prime minister has now said a comments he sent to the chief whip were unacceptable and there is an investigation going on in the party. for rishi sunak is only been prime minister a couple weeks, this is a pretty bad indication of the way in which he is re—rooting cabinet ministers as has been reported, he was already told about the chief whip tax and still decided to add to the government.— whip tax and still decided to add to the government. another story on the front of the times. _ the government. another story on the front of the times. you _ the government. another story on the front of the times. you nurses - front of the times. you nurses strike warning we're facing, the nhs, all of us facing the biggest nursing strike was seen for many years. this talks about how this is going to hit hospital performances. 300,000 nurses going on strike is bound _ 300,000 nurses going on strike is bound to _ 300,000 nurses going on strike is bound to have a major impact on the nhs~ _ bound to have a major impact on the nhs~ and _ bound to have a major impact on the nhs. and what we're hearing is that there may— nhs. and what we're hearing is that
