the nhs in england spent £3 billion on agency staff last year as around one in ten roles remain vacant. the uk will mark armistice day with a two—minute silence to commemorate the war dead this morning. the us is to step up its efforts to seize assets held by russian businessmen with links to the kremlin. hello and welcome to bbc news. officialfigures released by the office for national statistics this morning show that the uk economy shrank betweenjuly and september this year. it fell by 0.2% as soaring prices
9:02 am
hit businesses and households. gross domestic product, or gdp, which measures the activity of companies, governments and individuals in a country, had fallen by 0.6% in september, in part due to the queen's funeral. this all means the uk appears to be heading into recession, that's when the economy shrinks for two three—month periods in a row. the bank of england has forecast it will last two years, the longest on record. the chancellorjeremy hunt has been speaking this morning, he says there is a �*tough road ahead'. the bank of england says we are likely to be in recession. this is disappointing but not entirely unexpected news. and what we need to do now
9:03 am
is to present a plan to the country to tackle the root cause of the issues we face, which is inflation. and a plan that protects the most vulnerable and that's what i must do next thursday. are you alarmed by the fact that as actually of the g7, the only economy which is shrinking at the moment? according to the international monetary fund, around a third of the world's economy is in recession this year or will be in recession next year. and that is principally, but not entirely because of very high global energy prices. we are not immune to that in the uk and what we need is a plan that shows how we are going to get through this difficult period. if it is a recession, how we make it shallower and quicker so that we can protect businesses who are really struggling, as these figures show. but also give families some hope that we will get through to the other side with the most vulnerable people protected. let's get more details now from our business correspondent hannah miller, who is at a brewery in bristol. hannah, talk us through the numbers and what they mean.
9:04 am
good morning. a lot of people might be watching this this morning and thinking, why does it matter to me if the economy is in recession, if the economy is shrinking? the answer is because it is a sign companies like this one might be making less money. that then can mean pay falls and unemployment rises. as well as being bad for your bank balance at home, it also has an impact on the government's bank balance. it can make decisions much more difficult for the chancellor because if we are all learning less money, that mean he can take less in taxes and gives him less to spend on education and health. let's have a chat with sam, managing director at this brewery. good morning. talk us to what's going on with your business here, how are you seeing the effects of a weak economy at the moment? for us,

9:09 am
and the difficult decisions he has to make. a curious contrast with his predecessor, who, when he was in the job, said a recession was not inevitable. then at the same time, the bank of england was warning we could be heading into the longest recession since the 1920s. the only positive as we potentially head into it, we don't have very high unemployment right now. what we have is a labour shortage, so at a time when people are worried if they remain in theirjobs, that phenomenon should at least lessen some of the pain. {lilia phenomenon should at least lessen some of the pain.— phenomenon should at least lessen some of the pain. 0k, which sectors are suffering — some of the pain. 0k, which sectors are suffering and _ some of the pain. 0k, which sectors are suffering and try _ some of the pain. 0k, which sectors are suffering and try and _ some of the pain. 0k, which sectors are suffering and try and give - some of the pain. 0k, which sectors are suffering and try and give us - are suffering and try and give us some good news! are there any sector is doing better than expected? trio. is doing better than expected? no, the worst is doing better than expected? tip, the worst affected is manufacturing, down by 2.3%. factories are still dealing with post—pandemic supply chain problems. the fact they cannot get the parts they need reflected recently in car manufacturing figures, down by 6% in the month of
9:10 am
october because they cannot get the microchips they need make cars. they could be worse ahead when we get to a point where consumers start to revise their spending decisions. that is the other area which i think it's quite interesting, highlighted by the office of national statistics, they describe customer facing industries, the businesses you and i spend our money on as opposed to businesses buying from other businesses, places like shops, bars and restaurants. they are not performing very well and i am sure i don't need to tell you why. our wages are not increasing as quickly as our general cost of living expenses, certainly our energy cost of living expenses. the full impact of living expenses. the full impact of that is yet to be seen and that is what we will be dealing with next year. is what we will be dealing with next ear. ~ :, is what we will be dealing with next ear, ~ :, :, , :, is what we will be dealing with next ear. ~ :, :, :,, :, :, year. what about abroad, are other countries suffering _ year. what about abroad, are other countries suffering similar- countries suffering similar problems?— countries suffering similar roblems? , :, , , :, problems? they are, but there is a lot of focus — problems? they are, but there is a lot of focus on _ problems? they are, but there is a lot of focus on what _ problems? they are, but there is a lot of focus on what has _ problems? they are, but there is a lot of focus on what has happened | problems? they are, but there is a i lot of focus on what has happened in

the united states over the last 2a hours. there, we could be seen a glimmer of hope. there was a stock market rally, the best in two years. the reason is us inflation figures came in much lower than expected, prompting some people to wonder if the cost of living crisis there is coming to an end and if the central banks will put the brakes on its interest rates increases. perhaps a glimmer of hope it might not turn out to be as long and painful as we expected. brute out to be as long and painful as we exected. ~ :, , :, expected. we all need glimmers of ho e. expected. we all need glimmers of hepe- good — expected. we all need glimmers of hepe- good to _ expected. we all need glimmers of hope. good to talk _ expected. we all need glimmers of hope. good to talk to, _ expected. we all need glimmers of hope. good to talk to, thank- expected. we all need glimmers of hope. good to talk to, thank you. | the former chancellor, kwasi kwarteng, said he warned liz truss to "slow down" from what he called the "breakneck speed" with which she introduced new policies as prime minister. mr kwarteng made the comments in an interview with talk tv, the first time he has spoken since he was forced to step down last month. i bear some responsibility for it. i think it was a good idea to try and set our parameters quickly.
9:12 am
and i think the prime minister was very much of the view that we needed to move things fast. but i think it was too quick. so you made the argument that the prime minister go slow at the time? well, i said actually after the budget, because we were going very fast, even after the mini budget we were going at breakneck speed. i said, "we should slow down, slow down." what did she say? she said well, "i've only got two years." and i said, "you'll have two months if you carry on like this." and that's, i'm afraid, what happened. let's talk to our political correspondent iain watson. good morning to you, i wonder what you make of kwasi kwarteng's version of events? ,:, :, :, :, , of events? good morning. it was the late us president _ of events? good morning. it was the late us president john _ of events? good morning. it was the late us president john kennedy - of events? good morning. it was the late us president john kennedy that| late us presidentjohn kennedy that said success has 100 fathers and failure is an orphan. so it proved with the mini budget because in his comments, kwasi kwarteng puts the blame on liz truss, rather than himself when he say she was very
9:13 am
dynamic, very forceful and he warned her to slow down the pace. the taste itself had consequences, but the strategy of reducing taxes to boost economic growth, that is right. his only objection is the pace at which they proceeded. he was asked also if he wanted to apologise for the mini budget. he did say he was sorry about people facing remortgaging. but that is as far as he went in expressing regret. he also, ithink, quite interestingly said it was mad for liz truss to have sacked him as chancellor. he said she was very distressed and very emotional when she dismissed him. i do wonder whether the current chancellor, jeremy hunt, believes if it was all that mad. we have been hearing from him and talking about the contraction in the economy, the gdp figures but he was asked about kwasi kwarteng's comments in that talk tv interview. or he would say is, unless you have a plan to show how
9:14 am
you will bring down debt in the medium term, the markets react badly and he also said we had to show them we could take away as a country. he makes his statement on november the 17th and i think it will be very, very different from the mini budget. what i think we are seeing from kwasi kwarteng, is an attempt, i imagine, to partly rehabilitate his image ahead of november the 17th where fingers might be pointed in his general direction as to why some of the spending cuts and tax rises have to happen. also for him to say, actually, in the long term, perhaps this is the right approach in terms of economic growth. in the short term, it was liz truss especially who decided to move too quickly. ibis who decided to move too quickly. as you say, we have heard from the former chancellor and the current chancellor, what about liz truss, said anything? she chancellor, what about liz truss, said anything?— said anything? she hasn't. i sent her a message — said anything? she hasn't. i sent her a message this _ said anything? she hasn't. i sent her a message this morning - said anything? she hasn't. i sent her a message this morning to l said anything? she hasn't. i sent i her a message this morning to see said anything? she hasn't. i sent - her a message this morning to see if she wanted to comment. i did speak to someone who has known herfor about 20 years and they were
9:15 am
desperately supportive of kwasi kwarteng. their view was he should show some pride and take some responsibility. so that was their view, but liz truss herself hasn't come out to either defend her own record or agree with kwasi kwarteng and say things did move too quickly. i imagine other people also wish to comment on this as the day goes on but i think the real debate in the conservative party is about the balance between tax spending next week and what the current chancellor is doing with some people feeling he will load too much on two tax rises and not enough to restrain public spending. from his point of view, he was suggesting it would be bad news on both fronts, because he said he had some eye watering choices to make. ,:, :, :, :, ~ had some eye watering choices to make. :, :, ,, :, :, , :, the headlines on bbc news... recession looms in the uk as the

9:19 am
of big ben after its refurbishment over the last five years. there will be poignant ceremonies and memorials over the next couple of days. not just in london, but right across the uk as people are asked to stop what they are doing if they can, to bow their heads in silence for a couple of minutes. time to reflect, as i say, to remember those who paid the ultimate sacrifice. going back to the point of the first world war supposedly being the war that ended all wars, the ukrainian flag flies above a government building just above a government building just above the balcony where members of the royal family will be on sunday morning before laying their reefs at the foot of the cenotaph. a timely reminder that despite what the cenotaph stands for, there is still conflict around the world and war in europe even to this day. back to you. europe even to this day. back to ou. , :, europe even to this day. back to 0“. g :, :, europe even to this day. back to

9:21 am
shallow pool of staff, so until we address the longer term challenges around workforce, it's always going to be a bit hand—to—mouth. on the ward in colchester hospital... i will be responsible for staffing for the whole of the site today. ..andy is in charge of filling rotas and knows these challenges all too well. yesterday as an example, i thought my emergency department was nice and safe for the evening and a couple of hours before we had a couple of people call in sick and then immediately that changes things. overall, the nhs in england spent more than £3 billion on agency staff in the last year. that's up 20% on the year before. and agency spending is also rising in other parts of the uk. in scotland it has doubled in the past year, while in wales it has risen by over a0%. in northern ireland it is four times higher than it was three years ago. with so many hospital budgets already very stretched, difficult decisions are now being made. i think the nhs has been trying to find greater efficiencies
9:22 am
for a long, long time. but when i talk to clinical leaders, they're really, really nervous that they're going to have to make some really hard choices if they're going to stay in their budgets. and those hard choices will be things like reducing the number of staff they use. or reducing the number of beds that they have in hospital. and you can see those are really going to have an impact on the quality and access to patient care. improving staff retention could play a key part when it comes to reducing agency spend. so now trusts around the country are taking steps such as improving rota flexibility, offering wellbeing sessions and launching mental health days. but for now, it ultimately comes down to flexibility and money. a junior doctor can triple his hourly rate if he works for agency versus being on an nhs contract. i wouldn't consider taking the shift if it wasn't paying the market rate, which would be around £50 to £60. i'd absolutely love to go back to being a staff member. it's mainly about the pay. sometimes you'll only be able
9:23 am
to book a shift for two, three, four days a week. and you'll be very transient in the department. you won't know who the consultants are, the other members of staff, and it can sometimes affect the working dynamic, because you're just seen as a replaceable agency worker. the department of health says a long—term workforce plan is coming, but for now, nhs trusts around england are left with little choice but to allocate more and more of their budgets on paying growing staff bills rather than providing front line services. chloe hayward, bbc news. ukraine's most powerful prosecutor has dismissed claims the country is considering negotiations with russia to end the current war. andriy kostin is leading ukraine's investigations into war crimes committed by russia following its invasion earlier this year. let's cross live to kyiv to the bbc�*s catherine byaruhanga.

9:28 am
gusts of wind through the afternoon, even inland, in excess of a0 miles an hour in some places. so just how one could it get? possibly as high as 19 degrees around the murray firth there in scotland, but more typically around 16 or 17. how about tomorrow? england and wales and in fact much of the country in for sunny spells. early in the day it might be cloudy with some spots of rain in the north—west but essentially it is going to be a beautiful day. bye— bye.

in global temperatures below 1.5 degrees celsius. scientists say going above this threshold will have very dangerous effects but new research suggests the world could surpass that level in just nine years' time. france has suspended a plan to take in 3,500 refugees currently in italy, after rome refused to let a migrant rescue ship dock on its coast. the ocean viking ship was carrying 230 migrants, including 57 children. france has now allowed the ship to dock in toulon. it's the latest episode in a series of clashes between italy and its neighbour on migrant arrivals. the bbc�*s aza—day moshiri reports. finally some hope. these migrants had been stranded at sea for nearly three weeks. hundreds of them were rescued on six separate operations, but their troubles were far from over. left on this ship, many developed

9:44 am
to the request to take in 234 migrants, while italy has taken in 90,000 this year alone, is totally incomprehensible in the face of constant calls for solidarity. france says it will take in a third of the passengers, another third will be relocated to germany and the other is shared between eu member states. and as far as an agreement to accept thousands of migrants currently in italy, france has torn that up. these photos capture the moments these migrants learnt france was stepping in. many migrants flee conflict and risk their safety to seek a better life. but despite their hopes for asylum, they are still getting caught in diplomatic rows. that puts them in danger all over again. azadeh moshiri, bbc news. the headlines on bbc news... recession looms in the uk as the
