with you, us. i'm going to start with you, john stapleton. it is a bit childish, but it is nice when you have a broadcast interview making headlines in the newspapers at the start. "we will all pay more tax," pretty clear from jeremy hunt. yes. pretty clear from jeremy hunt. yes, talk to laura — pretty clear from jeremy hunt. yes, talk to laura kuenssberg _ pretty clear from jeremy hunt. ye: talk to laura kuenssberg on the bbc this morning. not exactly surprising news for any of us. let's face it. we are expecting 25 million of tax races and 35 billion of cuts, we will come to the cuts later. he did not go into any detail with laura today, but the speculation is 45p on income tax. that will affect people on earnings of 100 rev thousand. the tax there shall generally be raised so thousands of people are going to a higher tax band as their wages go up. also there is the suggestion

that on the most vulnerable get help with their energy bills after next april. the risk he runs is offending the right wing of his party, who are against tax races, and as he said himself this morning, it is something that goes against the grain for them personally because he got into politics to lower taxes, not raise them, but given the situation we're in he has little alternative. much of this is down to the failure under the last government, liz truss and kwasi kwarteng, whose budget, they say, is costing us 30 billion of that money we have to raise now, down to their ill—fated budget which cause the time to take against the dollar, because the bank of england to come in with aid to save all our pensions, and according to the governor of the bank of england, britain was in a situation where we arejust britain was in a situation where we are just hours away from total financial meltdown. all of that is part due to the price we are going to pay. we'll find out on thursday. yes, cost us 30 billion, is how the

metro puts it. john crowley, if we had not been following this for the goodness knows how many days and weeks, to read "we will all pay more tax" would soundly pretty good bad news, buds i suppose part of that message is to say, we are notjust hitting one sector of society, there shall pay as well —— sound like pretty bad news, but. i shall pay as well -- sound like pretty bad news, but.- shall pay as well -- sound like pretty bad news, but. i think he is t in: to pretty bad news, but. i think he is trying to say. _ pretty bad news, but. i think he is trying to say. we _ pretty bad news, but. i think he is trying to say, we are _ pretty bad news, but. i think he is trying to say, we are all _ pretty bad news, but. i think he is trying to say, we are all in - trying to say, we are all in this togethen _ trying to say, we are all in this together. he is not trying to offer anything — together. he is not trying to offer anything sunny like a former prime minister_ anything sunny like a former prime minister promised. he said they're going _ minister promised. he said they're going to _ minister promised. he said they're going to be some horrible decisions on tax _ going to be some horrible decisions on tax and — going to be some horrible decisions on tax and spending, and asjohn has been _ on tax and spending, and asjohn has been saying. — on tax and spending, and asjohn has been saying, the reason why nation is in such_ been saying, the reason why nation is in such a — been saying, the reason why nation is in such a state is because of his predecessor— is in such a state is because of his predecessor kwasi kwarteng and his own mini _ predecessor kwasi kwarteng and his own mini budget in september. despite — own mini budget in september. despite us being told that we are going _ despite us being told that we are going to — despite us being told that we are going to pay more taxes, does feel that services are going to get even worse _ that services are going to get even worse or— that services are going to get even worse or getting worse than even betten _ worse or getting worse than even better. recent figures that have

the cuts come, they are going to come even wider and deeper, aren't they? come even wider and deeper, aren't the ? ., , , ., come even wider and deeper, aren't the? , come even wider and deeper, aren't the? they? the only bit of oldies like m self! they? the only bit of oldies like myself! -- _ they? the only bit of oldies like myself! -- bit— they? the only bit of oldies like myself! -- bit of— they? the only bit of oldies like myself! -- bit of good - they? the only bit of oldies like myself! -- bit of good news! i myself! —— bit of good news! laughter that is the only bit of good news, and many people would argue, why should well off people likejohn sable get a rise in his pension? it is a good point... it is on the face of it, a bit silly, because we are very fortunate to be in a position where we don't need that money, but where we don't need that money, but where the cuts come in is really the thing that interests me. a suggestion anyway that all departments, all government departments, all government departments, are going to have their budgets frozen. if that applies to the national health service with inflation at 10%, that amounts to a 10% cut in that budget, and we have 7.1 million people in the waiting lists. the nhs and lescott was short of 40,000 nurses, and in pretty dire

straits. is it going to come out of the education go? education is something too. i was listing to the radio this morning, a couple of teachers saying they have to float the cost of pencils and paper at their school for their kids. having to take food into school for kids, either through property or in some cases neglect, do not have a proper breakfast. that is the state of the nation at the moment, and the thing that irritates a lot of people is the government says... who is the blame for that? who has been in power for the last five years? they have. , ., ., have. yes, the government. you brou . ht have. yes, the government. you brought me _ have. yes, the government. you brought me very _ have. yes, the government. you brought me very nicely _ have. yes, the government. you brought me very nicely around, i brought me very nicely around, mentioning the nhs, to the guardian, john. john crowley, a strong topline. needs a bit of explaining. it does, and actually the one in three _ it does, and actually the one in three topline only applies to one in two trust. — three topline only applies to one in two trust, but it does illustrate

covid, record vacancies of staff and nurses in the nhs. it goes on. it does go on. we are short of 40,000 cavers in the community as well. presumably because they're not paid enough. a lot of our viewers will say, yes, this all sounds pretty terrible, 7.1 million people waiting for care within the nhs, ambulances, because of those people in beds, they have people queuing in influences outside hospital for hours, occasionally dying in as a blintzes because they cannot enjoy spittle faster and we are not anywhere near winter, as you rightly point out. we have a flu epidemic possibly, covid, and this chronic shortage of staff to deal with the problem. it does not sound good at all. g , ., , ., problem. it does not sound good at all. , ., ., ., all. just as a last line on that, director of — all. just as a last line on that, director of policy _ all. just as a last line on that, director of policy and - all. just as a last line on that, director of policy and treasury all. just as a last line on that, i director of policy and treasury at nhs providers throwing further into

the mix keeping elderly out of hospitals is so important. your muscular ability can deteriorate in the hospital bed and that is quite rapid for older people, so a real fear that you don't want to get any more in hospital if you can help it in any case. i am going to move us on because we have just got a few minutes left. i want to touch on the story on the metro among others, pictures relating to of course king charles laying the wreath and alongside a picture of them as was princess elizabeth 77 years prior to that, laying the wreath for a nation's gratitude, john crowley. yes, a very sombre day, obviously, for people — yes, a very sombre day, obviously, for people around the country, but i think— for people around the country, but i think everyone felt keenly in a way for king _ think everyone felt keenly in a way for king charles. the close—ups of the cameras can be quite brutal and there _ the cameras can be quite brutal and there was— the cameras can be quite brutal and there was one particular shot which

one that he knows he has been standing there doing his duty and innocence also knowing that one day this will be the focus on him, on this will be the focus on him, on this day. this will be the focus on him, on this da . . ., ., ., , ., this day. yeah, and on a number of rime this day. yeah, and on a number of prime ministers, _ this day. yeah, and on a number of prime ministers, that _ this day. yeah, and on a number of prime ministers, that is _ this day. yeah, and on a number of prime ministers, that is turnover i prime ministers, that is turnover recently! yes, a very important moment for king charles, especially remembering the many years... i was not quite around for the day his mother first lady wreath, but i was all—around not long after that and he must have stood there year after year thinking, he must have stood there year after yearthinking, one he must have stood there year after year thinking, one day the stubble fall to me, and now it has come under difficult circumstances. —— thisjob will fall to me. the recent death of his mother. the one thing i did enjoy about this morning with the reference to in the future of all the falklands veterans. it is the 40th anniversary of the falklands war. i covered the falklands war. i covered the falklands war. i covered the falklands war from argentina, for the bbc... sacrificed

at 11:30pm, so goodbye for now. have a listen to this. very high pitched whirring sound believe it or not, it's the sound that can destroy cancer. human trials in the uk and us are currently assessing how safe and effective the treatment is for liver cancer but interestingly, researchers have now found that histotripsy can, in some cases, kick—start an immune response, which means the body can start fighting the disease on its own. yasmin morgan—griffiths has been following one cancer patient on his histotripsyjourney.
