planning to find savings? our business correspondent marc ashdown is here. the chancellor says there will be "difficult decisions". that means some big figures when it comes to government spending and the taxes we pay. we expect there'll be spending cuts of about £35 billion, and plans to raise some £20 billion in tax over the coming years. so what could this all look like for you in terms of your income tax? well, tax thresholds are important. here are the main ones. and we will bring them up for you now. you don't pay any tax on earnings up to £12,500. and these are the levels of what you pay above that, depending on how much you earn. now, they normally creep up every year with inflation. but they're currently frozen until 2026. and jeremy hunt might extend that freeze to 2028. so as wages rise, we would all pay more in tax. what about the top rate of 45%? we're hearing the threshold for that could be lowered to £125,000, meaning more people would start to pay it. all this could raise billions of pounds for the treasury.

public spending is facing a big squeeze, with all departments expected to be told their budgets will be frozen for at least three years. with inflation running at 10%, that would signal a real terms cut in spending. and on energy, jeremy hunt has now promised there will be more support for households beyond next april. the current energy price guarantee of £2,500 for an average bill—payer applies to everyone. the chancellor says future support would need to be constrained. that suggests that better off households might get less or no support beyond april. reeta. you, marc. an explosion in the turkish city of istanbul has killed at least six people and injured more than 50. the blast happened this afternoon in a busy street in the centre of the city. the turkish president erdogan has said it appears to have been an act of terrorism. 0ur senior international correspondent, 0rla guerin, has sent this report.

chaos and panic in the heart of istanbul. an attack on istiklal street, one of the city's main arteries. soon ambulances rushing away the wounded and the dead. turkey's president offering his condolences, and saying it appears this was a terrorist attack. initial developments and initial intelligence from the governor are that it smells like terrorism, and a woman has played a part in this, said recep tayyip erdogan. well, istiklal remains sealed off now. there is a heavy police presence. but this is normally one of the busiest places in istanbul, an area thatis busiest places in istanbul, an area that is crammed with visitors and with shoppers. now police are carrying out their investigations, and there is a real sense among people here of anxiety. for

istanbul, this has come as a shock. this woman told us she was in an internet cafe on istiklal and heard the blast. i saw a pram, she said. when i heard the explosion, i went out. i saw wounded people running around. there was a woman carrying her dog. it was a frenzy. as night falls, istanbul is grappling with fear and uncertainty. an area that is a magnet for tourists now a scene of horror. 0rla guerin, bbc news, istanbul. people across the uk have paid their respects to those who have lost their lives during war. at the cenotaph in london, king charles led his first remembrance sunday ceremony since acceding to the throne. the service was followed by a march—past of 10,000 veterans. 0ur royal correspondent, nicholas witchell reports. a solemn ceremony of national

remembrance in its familiarform amid the colours of autumn, but with one notable absence. at one minute to 11, king charles took his place at the cenotaph for the first time as britain's monarch. for so many decades, the nation's remembrance had been led by his late mother, queen elizabeth. now she, too, is remembered for her service. at 11 o'clock, big ben signalled the start of the national two—minute silence. big ben chimes the hour.

last post plays. at the cenotaph in london, the last post, surrounded by royal marine buglers, marked the end of the two—minute silence. the king laid his wreath in tribute to all those from the united kingdom and the countries of the commonwealth who lost their lives in the world wars and more recent conflicts. wreaths were laid by political leaders headed by britain's prime minister, rishi sunak. and then after the commonwealth representatives and the military chiefs, it was the turn of the veterans. 10,000 men and women who served

on many different battlefields. 0n parade today, a0 years after the falklands war, 500 veterans of that conflict, so many with their own memories of comrades who never came home. remembered today with gratitude. nicholas witchell, bbc news. the government has confirmed that almost 41,000 migrants have now crossed the channel to the uk so far this year. there were more arrivals at dover this morning. the ministry of defence said 972 people made the crossing yesterday. a police officer with the lancashire force has been charged with attempted murder. it follows an incident at a hotel in manchester when a woman was taken to hospital. james riley, who's 27, has been remanded in custody, to appear in court tomorrow. there are warnings that supplies of bread and medicine have run out in kherson — the city in ukraine that was abandoned by

russian forces on friday. work is under way to restore the electricity and water supplies cut off by russian troops as they retreated. 0ur international editor, jeremy bowen, has reached the centre of kherson, where people are still celebrating the russian departure. this is the central square of kherson, which has been the focus of the celebrations, the outright sheer relief that people here are feeling because the russians have gone. it's been quite emotional as well because you can see like those ladies there, people are meeting up with old friends and able to move around without fear of the russians, and that is still a major novelty. now, one reason why there are so many people here, it's notjust a sense of wanting to be together, a sense of community, of catching up with friends. it's because the army has set up a satellite wi—fi terminal and so people are here and they are queueing up.

there's a great big long queue over there where they are queueing to get the password to get on those terminals. that basically is kherson�*s connection with the outside world at the moment. which is why they are so keen to get on it and to tell their families they're all right. you can see it's a patriotic moment, there's an awful lot of flags around. there is a sense of relief. as we drove in this morning on the edge of town, there were lots of people waving. we came in with a convoy, a military convoy. and there were people waving and waving flags, it was emotional. a lot of them were crying. amaq that was our international editorjeremy boeing reporting from the centre of kherson in ukraine.

in the united states, the democrats have retained control of the senate in the mid—term elections, after winning a pivotal race in the state of nevada. president biden said he was incredibly pleased by the results, which are a blow to donald trump's hopes of running again for the white house. 0ur north america editor sarah smith reports from washington. after a nail—biting wait, democrats can now celebrate a result they didn't dare hope for when voters went to the polls last week. i am so grateful to all of you. the democratic incumbent in nevada, catherine cortez masto, was considered to be one of the party's more vulnerable senators. but us networks are now projecting that she has defeated her republican challenger, adam laxalt, a trump acolyte who repeats the big lie about the 2020 presidential election having been stolen. chuck schumer is the democratic senate leader. this election is a victory, a victory and a vindication for democrats, our agenda and for the american people. control of the house of representatives remains to be decided, as around 20 seats have not yet been declared. whichever party wins, it looks set

to have a very narrow majority. i'm predicting that, as i've said all along, it'll be perilously close. we can win it. whether we're going to win it remains to be seen. this victory means that even if republicans win the runoff election in georgia that is scheduled for the 6th of december, democrats will remain in control of the senate as vice president kamala harris casts a tie—breaking vote. historically, the party in power in washington usually loses a considerable number of seats in the midterm elections. the democrats' performance this year is the best for any governing party for 20 years. this surprisingly strong performance from the democrats changes the political scene in america. as you look across the country, you see that actually very few seats in either the senate or the house of representatives have changed hands, but that fact changes the outlook

for the 2024 presidential election. it means thatjoe biden is in a much stronger position and is therefore much more likely to run for a second term in the white house, and it also changes things for donald trump, because he looks significantly weakened. a lot of the candidates who he had perfectly backed, candidates who repeated his lie about stealing the 2020 election, they have all been defeated. and that means, is he really going to run? is he going to run again? is he going to make the announcement that he had scheduled for tuesday? journalist will be turning up at his mar—a—lago, his florida home on tuesday, for an announcement that he said would be at nine o'clock. will he run for the president of the third time, or will he change his mind? we have a couple of days before we find out. our north america editor, sarah 0ur north america editor, sarah smith, thank you. england's cricketers have won the men's t20 world cup. they beat pakistan by five wickets in a thrilling final in melbourne.

it means england are the first team to become double world champions — holding this title and the 50—over one. joe wilson reports. a world cup final staged where 100,000 could come. melbourne's cricket ground. but if pakistan play anywhere on earth, theirfans follow. all they need is a flick of the wrist like this from mohammad harris, and some celebrations begin. this is what england were taking on. but control matters. harris hit and hoped, and waiting beneath it, ben stokes. and you know what? there were england supporters around, too. england bowled and caught, and pakistan stumbled. babar azam gone for 32. the total, 137. enough? well, now pakistan bowled. and they can bowl. shaheen shah afridi a star. jos buttler caught and gone for 26. the game was alive. but when afridi got injured, ben stokes attacked the other bowlers decisively. 0ver his head for six! england have built a squad to succeed anywhere.

but it was stokes, who else, to end this final. i'm just immensely proud of everyone here. absolutely. there's been a long journey, a few changes over how we've played over the last few years, and we're reaping the rewards of that. this trophy to go with the 50—over world cup. england are true world champions. joe wilson, bbc news. that's all for now. we're back with the late news at ten. now on bbc one it's time for the news where you are. goodbye.

hello. this is bbc news. the chancellorjeremy

the chancellor jeremy hunters the chancellorjeremy hunters told the chancellorjeremy hunters told the bbc more taxes and further spending cuts are on their way say will be some difficult decisions ahead. president devaughn has said at least six people have been killed in an explosion in a busy shopping area and istanbul with at least 50 others injured. the king led the nation on remembrance sunday, observing a two minute silence and laying a wreath in memory of those who have died in war. 0ur defence correspondent has sent this report from the falklands. it is the first time for many of the veterans who have come here, flown from the uk and also next of kin of those who fell here during the falklands war when they came to liberate the islands from argentina in 1982. i am joined now by the widow of one of those veterans, alec. just tell us a bit about alec, first of all, he was your husband? yes, he came over obviously

when the war broke out. he was a young man and we thought he was going to scotland to the cold weather and unfortunately he was killed on the 13th ofjune, just a matter of hours before the surrender. this is the first time you have been here? absolutely, initially i felt it wasn't somewhat i wanted to come, but i am glad i did. what does it mean to you to be here? closure sounds like a silly word but it is put all the years of jigsaw together. i understand why they did what they did, the island is wonderful, the people are so kind and i cannot believe after 40 years they still want us here and it mean so much to them, it has been a wonderful experience. you have taken part in two ceremonies, armistice on friday, where you laid a wreath. you talked about the islanders, this is 8000 miles away from home? i had no idea that they were british. i really did not believe that.

you said you thought it was scotland? i did, that was the actual geography of it, i thought it was down the road. i didn't know the islanders were truly british. they really are, they really are. what will you take back from this visit when you go home? a much better understanding of why it happened and the reasons why it happened and a great deal of pride that it did happen and humbled that they care so much about us still, 40 years. i know alec will never be forgotten. you are sure of that? absolutely100%, not only at home with us, but here with the islanders, he will never be forgotten. is it the moment of sharing with veterans who are here and you have make contacts? i made a very long walk, i walked up to where he died, with a lot of young soldiers and i was able to lay a wreath and see where he died.

we are glad it has meant so much to you. they have just held their two—minute silence at the war memorial and they read out the names of those falkland islanders who fought in the first world war and the second world war. it has been beautiful weather up until now and suddenly it has closed in and quite windy and wet, but that is the falklands, four seasons in a day, often. remote from the uk but it has meant a lot to those veterans who have come back. painful memories for a number of them, but they have come back for the first time since the war in 1982. a tehran court has handed down the first death sentence in connection with the continuing protests in iran. five other defendants were handed prison sentences ranging from five to 10 years. the protests began about two months ago after a 22 year old woman,

mahsa amini, died in custody after being arrested for not fully covering her hair. siavash ardalan from the bbc�*s persian service gave me this update. this particular person who has been sentenced to death was accused of very heavy charges in iran that carry the death penalty, corruption on earth and waging war on god. when you read the text of the court proceedings you see that this person was allegedly involved in vandalism and setting fire to motorbikes and so on. there are five other people at least that we know who have been accused of similar charges but this is the first person we're hearing about who has been accused to death. the case can be appealed, of course, so to speak. how likely is it that the regime will follow through and actually execute the protesters? i think it has to do more with their assessment of the situation rather than any particular legal reason. there are voices within the government that want to exercise the iron fist, want to deter protesters by these kinds of

executions. as many executions as possible. they are very hard and modern forces who in their words want to exercise, they say, smart repression and engaged in what they say, strategic patients. this is a tactic of not allowing more people to get killed so that could give more incentive to the protesters to come out in the streets in commemoration of those who have been killed. it's a very high risk game, playing the security equilibrium by different factions within the government, in terms of how they want to manage the process so far. this being the first death sentence in connection with these protest, what is the reaction been? its early hours. it is been less than an hour that we had reports of this particular death sentence. we seen slogans being written inside tehran walls and other programme offences where protesters are threatening that if anyone is executed we will go out in the streets again.

it remains to be seen if they execute someone, whether it will have the effect of deterring protesters or inflaming the situation it already is very explosive. the bbc persian service. the bbc has calculated that more than forty—thousand migrants have crossed the channel from france to england in small boats so far this year. it's the highest number since figures began to be collected in 2018. two years ago there were just over eight thousand arrivals. the government says such a level of inward migration is not sustainable. 0ur corresondent simon jones is in dover, reaching the milestone of 40,000 people having made the crossing so far this year is a difficult moment for the british government which has made such a play of saying it would take back control of british borders. weather—wise, it is very calm in the channel, which means for the border force, the lifeboat and coastguard who deal

with these crossings, it will be anything but a calm day, we expect people to arrive in the large numbers as they did yesterday. we are told that britain and france are inching ever closer to a new deal to try to stop or at least reduce the crossings and we are told britain will have to give france millions of pounds to fund extra police officers on the beaches over in northern france. france is said to be stopping just over 40% of crossings but the authorities think that figure needs to be more like 70% or 80% to really begin to break the business model of the people smugglers who are organising the journeys. this agreement is also likely to see british immigration officers based in control rooms over in northern france. they are unlikely to see british

border officer boots on the ground. regarding sovereignty, in terms of other ideas to stop the crossing. writing in the sunday times, saying he wants to stop what he calls the lure of hotel britain. many people making the crossing ending up in put up in hotels because there is not any suitable accommodation for them, saying at is acting as a bit of a magnet. he says he wants more functional accommodation such as looking into perhaps using former student accommodation disused holiday parks about groups which support refugees here in the uk say the idea that people are coming across simply wanting to languish in hotels is false and the big backlog assesses that there are more than 100,000 baht in terms of what we are expecting to day

and tomorrow with the weather calm, we are expecting more busy times. the cost of living crisis could lead to some foster carers quitting if extra money is not provided to help cover increasing costs. support service "foster talk" said some carers were reaching a "crisis point" and has called for urgent action. 0ur social affairs correspondent emma glasby has this report. we started fostering in 2007. so just coming up 16 years. i was brought up in a big family. i seem to have this ability to look after huge numbers of children. that's just what i do, and i love doing it. at their home in scarborough, jacqui and her husband are foster carers as well as bringing up their own children. they take in foster children long term in emergencies, and often look after traumatised children with extra needs. but jacqui's concerned foster care allowances are not covering

the rising cost of living. foster carers are already subsidising these children's lives. and so, yeah, i am worried because, you know, not all foster carers are in a position where they can do that, and we are already so short of foster carers, you've got to worry for the children that are coming into care. where do they go? fostering payments vary. jacqui fosters for north yorkshire county council. for a child aged between five and ten, she gets £195 a week to cover costs. for 11 to 15—year—olds, it's £242. it's to cover food, possibly school meals, clothing, transport to school or family visits, toiletries, pocket money, days out, internet, perhaps a mobile phone. it's also for activities like swimming, football or gymnastics, which jacqui

says are vital. these children often have very low self—esteem. they suffer from anxiety. they need these things probably more than your own children do, because they need outlets that are creative, something that they can find that they're good at. but if you're not in that situation where you have additional income from whatever, those things are just going to have to stop. so the children suffer? so the children suffer, yeah. the government says no foster carer should be out of pocket because of the support they provide, but told us that fostering service providers are responsible for setting their own payment structures, using the national minimum allowance. north yorkshire county council told us that in october, it took the unusual decision of increasing fostering payments for the second time this year because of concerns about rising costs.

more than 70% of children in care are in foster placements, but many older carers are leaving, and it's a struggle to replace them. some foster carers can have jobs, but jacqui looks after extremely vulnerable children, and says working would be impossible. some children are awake all night. some children abscond. we've had to kind of drive to places looking for these children, reporting things to the police, waiting up on phone calls for the child to be returned back to you. if people are already out working 40 hours a week, they don't have space in their lives. it worries me constantly. ..about what's going to happen in the future. after the pandemic, and now the rising cost of living, there are growing demands on the care system. councils must find a way to keep hold of foster carers and recruit new ones. emma glasbey, bbc news. failings in the energy market

have cost £2.7 billion — that's almost £100 per household — according to a group of mps. the public accounts committee said the industry regulator, 0fgem, had been too late to spot problems before a spike in wholesale energy prices last year, which caused dozens of suppliers to go bust. 0fgem has defended its performance, saying suppliers have collapsed across the world. the chair of the public accounts committee is the labour mp, meg hillier. it was a balance of how financially resilient they are, if something went wrong. when problems of their financial resilience became apparent, 0fgem didn't act until 2019 and they miss the boat. that's get more of the t—20 winning the ova crowd. earlier i spoke to

the ova crowd. earlier i spoke to the captain alongside the 17—year—old player to get the reaction. 17—year—old player to get the reaction. there's not many nails left here, finger nails have been shredded but we are really thrilled with the result, happy to get over the line and celebrate an england victory this afternoon. it was thrilling, wasn't it? at some points i did think this could get really close in the end, but i am pleased it was not too close in the end. i think i would have been very nervous at the end. there wouldn't have been no fingernails left. scott, i have got to ask, how much of a difference does this make to encouraging people into the sport and developing those grassroots, the talent and potential? hopefully a massive difference. after the 2005 ashes when flintoff and the national heroes, that is what inspired me to join club cricket, when i was young.

now we have both white world cups, it will massively increase a grassroots level, both for returning players to the sport, especially after the hiatus with covid where people couldn't play as much social support, ——sport they can come back into it and encourage more people into this fantastic sport we all know and love. do you think at your age, there are many of your peers who are encouraged into the sport, or is there a bit of an obstacle for many of them? there is sometimes an obstacle, i guess. you play all day, you can take a long time. that means, the t20 world cup means it is a short, three—hour bash in the park in the evening. it makes it so young people can come along and play because it is so short. yes, you think it makes it more

accessible to a wider
