10:02 am
with france in an attempt to reduce the number of people crossing the english channel on small boats. this year has seen the highest number on record, with more than 40,000 people making the crossing. under the latest deal, the uk will increase the amount of money it pays france each year to £63 million. so what will this money be spent on? more police patrols — there'll be a 40% increase in officers patrolling beaches in northern france to improve early detection and disruption of illegal small boat crossings, so from around 200 to 300. an expansion in surveillance, more cctv, and dog detection teams in france to prevent illegal entry via lorries. and for the first time, uk officers will be embedded with french counterparts, to understand the threat and help inform deployments. but there are concerns that although the deal may disrupt the people smugglers operating in france — it's unlikely to end their trade.
10:03 am
this report from our correspondent leigh milner. more migrants being led off boats in dover. so far this year, more than 40,000 have made the perilous crossing — the highest number on record. today, the home secretary, suella braverman, will sign an agreement that will increase the money the uk pays france from around £55 million a year to 63 million. this will fund extra patrols on french beaches, increasing the number of officers involved from 200 to 300. there will also be more use of drones and night—vision equipment. and both uk and french observers will work together in each other�*s control rooms to help coordinate their deployments. what is important is that in order to solve the problem of illegal migration on the channel, we take a multi—dimensional approach. there is no single answer,
10:04 am
no quick fix, no silver bullet. 0ur cooperation and collaboration with the french on the channel, on the uk coastline, on the french coastline is absolutely integral to ensuring there is a robust barrier preventing people disembarking from the french beaches in the first place. but the british government has always stressed there is no single solution, and while this renewed deal aims to further disrupt the people smugglers operating in france, it is unlikely to put an end to their trade. leigh milner, bbc news. i'm joined now by our reporter simonjones, who's in dover for us this morning. the uk home secretary saying there are no quick fixes to this issue, the many tens of thousands of people who are brought by people smugglers across the channel to britain, but there is a huge amount of political
10:05 am
pressure on her, isn't there, for the steel to make a difference pretty soon?— the steel to make a difference re soon? , ., ., ., pretty soon? there is a huge amount of olitical pretty soon? there is a huge amount of political pressure, _ pretty soon? there is a huge amount of political pressure, both _ pretty soon? there is a huge amount of political pressure, both on - pretty soon? there is a huge amount of political pressure, both on the - of political pressure, both on the british and french governments to get a grip of this issue. the line we are getting from the british authorities this morning is this new agreement takes cooperation to a new level that we have not seen before, but in reality, we heard many times in the past of new agreements, closer cooperation, but the numbers have continued to rise. these statistics show that currently the french authorities are stopping around 42% of crossings, but it is thought that level would need to go up thought that level would need to go up to around 70 or 80%, to really make a dent in the market for the cross—channel people smugglers who are organising these journeys. as we speak here in dover, there are more crossings taking place, because down there at the port, there is
10:06 am
currently border force vessel that has brought in a group of waiting more than 100 migrants to shore, pretty calm out there in the channel and it has been calm for the last couple of days. we have seen the scale of this issue, because on saturday almost a thousand people made the crossing. yesterday it was more than 850 people making the crossing. although we are hearing from the british home secretary suella braverman that this new agreement is not going to solve the problem overnight, it is not going to solve the problem on its own, i think there will be real pressure to see a fall in those numbers and see a fall in those numbers quite quickly, the reality is, the government cannot simply rely on the factory going into winter and on bad weather, because as we've seen in the past few years the crossings have continued all year round. we might give us a sense of the number of people arriving there on to dover, what the community reaction has been, and they strain this is
10:07 am
put on resources locally. when you speak to people locally they are extremely concerned, there is a small community near here that a couple of weeks ago some boats landed on the beach here in dover and then migrants were seen wandering around that area, one even got into a person's home and asked to use the phone and they say they find this a worrying experience. in terms of a new deal, i think they say we will believe it when we see it, it will actually make a difference. that is reflected by the local mp, the conservative for the town, who has said this deal simply does not go far enough and falls far short of what is needed. what she wanted was joint patrols on beaches in northern france, so you would see british border force officers out on patrols with their french counterparts, with some powers to
10:08 am
try to stop boats setting off, but i think french sovereignty would not allow that to happen. what we have instead is talk of british immigration officers being stationed in control rooms over in northern france for the first time, to allow better co—operation between britain and france, but in terms of the reaction here, people see only pretty much daily basis when it's calm, we are seeing people now been brought to shore and gritty question is when it's going to end? certainly here in the county of kent, local politicians have come together saying the sheer number of people arriving is putting a huge strain on public services, health and education, and they've even gone as far to say is that kent is at breaking point this issue. —— regarding this issue. earlier we heard from our correspondent hugh schofield, who is in paris. well, everyone is trying to put a positive spin on this,
10:09 am
because what is new is there is a spirit of cooperation and a friendship back between france and britain, which has to be a good thing, so, both sides are smiling, both sides are saying a very important measure which is going to lead to, they hope, a big change in the way the problem is addressed. i have to say, anyone looking on at this passionately from the outside has to be filled with scepticism and caution, because as we are hearing from simon, the nth time the same emotions have been expressed, and back in 2018 theresa may and macron signed a deal at sandhurst which basically used exactly the same language, was not boats back then, but "the ongoing problem", and the promise then was of a bright new beginning. before that, i can recall going back to 20—25 years to the opening of the reception centre at the end of the 1990s, exactly the same thing. the problem goes on because of
10:10 am
the demand, the invincibility the demand, the inventivity of smuggling gangs, and the humane response from our governments generally, which means there is no massive crackdown people feel they can still come, not face any major threat to themselves or their lives. they keep coming. will this change things? frankly, one has to express a large degree of doubt, this idea of people, officers from britain being embedded with french teams, it's not clear, what does that mean? does that mean they will help out and actually intervene? does that mean they will be able to offer advice miss does that mean they will be able to offer advice? how can they offer advice to the french about what the french are doing on their own soil? it's all left very vague, but what is true is there will be
10:11 am
more police patrolling, that will presumably make a difference, but let's not forget that when it comes to sharing intelligence, that was one of the breakthroughs of the sandhurst agreement in 2018, the establishment of a joint intelligence and coordination centre that is still there, what's it been doing? why does the arrival of more intelligent sharing make a difference when that doesn't seem to have made a difference? joining us now is enver solomon, who's ceo of the refugee council, a charity that provides support and advice to refugees and asylum seekers. and we're also joined by lauren starkey from love1li6, an anti—child trafficking organisation. she works with young trafficked albanians. thank you forjoining us. first of all, this is the fourth agreement between france and britain in the last three years. what do you make of what you've heard so far today? i am inclined to agree with your corresponding who suggested that it
10:12 am
is very unlikely to make a huge difference, it isjust is very unlikely to make a huge difference, it is just a continuation of an attempt to try and use enforcement and security measures to tackle what is a more complex problem. and ifear the government is failing to really understand the drivers here. the reason people are making these journeys is because they are displaced by war, bloodshed and terror. there are far fewer safe routes into europe and into the uk. if you're trying to join a family member in the uk for example has already got here from afghanistan, you can't do it, you have to take a dangerous journey and come across the channel. if the government were to see this as a global challenge, work collaboratively with nations across the globe to address the issue of refugee displacement and critically to look at safe routes so people don't have to take dangerous journeys, it would in the long run have far more success. you can simply solve this through enforcement alone. the simply solve this through enforcement alone. u, .,
10:13 am
enforcement alone. the government of course as it is — enforcement alone. the government of course as it is working _ course as it is working collaboratively, says this latest deal is an example of that, and presumably you would agree it has to do something to try to stop this trade, the people smuggling trade going on? it trade, the people smuggling trade oiiinon? , trade, the people smuggling trade ioinion? , trade, the people smuggling trade oiiinon? , ., , going on? it absolutely has to, but we should be _ going on? it absolutely has to, but we should be targeting _ going on? it absolutely has to, but we should be targeting those - we should be targeting those controlling the trade much more, then the victims of it, have to take then the victims of it, have to take the dangerous journeys. then the victims of it, have to take the dangerousjourneys. remember, the dangerous journeys. remember, three the dangerousjourneys. remember, three quarters of those that come here seeking asylum are found to be refugees, so this isn'tjust a question of them all being economic migrants, target the gangs, but critically, we need to be working right across the eu. when we were a part of the eu, part of brexit, we were part of the shared arrangement called the dublin deal, and we don't haveit called the dublin deal, and we don't have it any longer, so we have no mechanism to address what is a challenge for the whole of the eu. remember, 120,000, far more across the mediterranean latter to try to

10:18 am
sunday, last sunday, when the cop27 summit started. due to concerns there about his welfare, but his sister now saying he has been drinking water as of november 12, and a note has been issued by the prison to say that. in the uk authorities say they are keeping up the pressure on the egyptians to try to secure greater access to check on his well—being. chinese leader xijinping and us presidentjoe biden have had face to face talks ahead of the g20 summit, theirfirst since biden entered the white house. it's hoped the meeting will ease relations that have been sticky for some time, marred by disagreements over issues ranging from taiwan to trade. the g20 summit, which is taking place in bali, is already fraught with tension over russia's invasion of ukraine. president putin isn't attending but his foreign minister, sergei lavrov is there. 0ur correspondent, karishma vaswani is in bali, and earlier gave us more
10:19 am
sergei lavrov denying reports earlier today he had been taken to hospital to be treated for a health condition. the russian foreign ministry said this news or apparent news was fakery of the highest order. 0ur correspondent, karishma vaswani is in bali, and earlier gave us more details on the meeting between the us and chinese leaders. this is an opportunity, notjust to have one discussion but i think the hope on both sides is it will lead to more discussions. just to say, that conversation is taking place right now, president xijinping say in the last few minutes, speaking to the american delegations, speaking to mr biden, who opened that discussion, we have heard from the president that it is good to see you, he said, tojoe biden, the last time we met was more than five years ago. pointing out, of course, that having a face—to—face meeting is critical and,
10:20 am
in fact, he said that directly tojoe biden, saying that, "nothing can substitute for face—to—face. today, we have this face—to—face meeting." this, i think, in of itself, we really cannot emphasise enough how important it is for these two leaders to sit down at the table, as they are doing right now, on either side, flanked by some of their most important officials — on the chinese side, you have wang yi, accompanying president xi jinping, a key figure in the chinese political system. 0n the us side, president biden is seated next to janet yellen. again, emphasising that this is not just about geopolitics, it is very much about the global economy and that will be one of the key considerations for these two leaders as they sit down and thrash out those thorny issues over the course of these next few hours. joinng me now is dr eugenio cusumano who is the international relations expert and associate professor of politics, university of messina.
10:21 am
thank you very much forjoining us today. we know vladimir putin did not want to attend, because of the expected criticism over the invasion of ukraine, sergei lavrov is there. what do you think the discussion will be around the war in ukraine at the summit?— will be around the war in ukraine at the summit? thanks for having me. even if the — the summit? thanks for having me. even if the theme _ the summit? thanks for having me. even if the theme of _ the summit? thanks for having me. even if the theme of this _ the summit? thanks for having me. even if the theme of this g20 - the summit? thanks for having me. even if the theme of this g20 is - even if the theme of this g20 is recovering together from the pandemic, we cannot expect too much togetherness, and that is because the war in ukraine and the geopolitical division that is entailed will inevitably dominate the agenda. disagreement over ukraine will make finding consensus difficult, one other issue as well include leading economic issues as well, that's what we can expect. evenif well, that's what we can expect. even if the meeting will be over a
10:22 am
sort ofjoint declaration, without a picture of the world leaders, it is as we already heard, something very important and positive, even if nothing visible will come out of it, state delegates will talk to each other, will understand each other�*s red line and will find some avenues for coordinating, if not cooperating.— for coordinating, if not cooeratini. , , . ., cooperating. on the sub'ect of cooperation. * cooperating. on the sub'ect of cooperation, that * cooperating. on the subject of cooperation, that meeting - cooperating. on the subject of- cooperation, that meeting between president xijinping and president joe biden, how much softening of relations between the two countries will there be as a result of this, do you think? i will there be as a result of this, do you think?— will there be as a result of this, do you think? i think this will be a very consequential _ do you think? i think this will be a very consequential meeting, - do you think? i think this will be a very consequential meeting, for. very consequential meeting, for several reasons. as we heard already, xijinping and joe biden know each other, but this will be the first face—to—face meeting with each of them setting as president, so both xijinping and each of them setting as president, so both xi jinping and joe each of them setting as president, so both xijinping and joe biden come to this meeting in a position
10:23 am
of domestic strength. xi jinping has obtained an unprecedented third term as china's later, biden obtained an unexpected positive result in mid—term elections, and paradoxically, we were talking about the war in ukraine, which might offer some recreational opportunities for dialogue. russia's difficulties in ukraine might have shown china that fishing over taiwan right now and trying to take over it ijy right now and trying to take over it by military means in the short—term is not a good idea. moreover, if china accept as the us wants, putting some more pressure on russia to end the invasion, then the us might be willing to reciprocate with some concessions on some other fronts, such as the limits set on the export of semiconductors and

10:25 am
agenda, so i do not expect anything major to come up when it comes to combating climate change, even if this is an issue that should be at the centre of the agenda. we were selling you a little earlier about those reports by a couple of news agencies that the russian foreign minister sergei lavrov had been taken to hospital to be treated for a heart condition. he had arrived in bali representing russia because president putin is not attending. we then heard from the russian foreign ministry this was fakery of the highest order. i'm not sure if we can bring you some pictures, we have seen some pictures of sergei lavrov, there he is, sitting outside his hotel room, casually dressed as you can see, and he sold reporters there that they have been writing for about ten years that our president to sell, this is the kind of game that is not
10:26 am
new in politics, he said, so denying reports he was unwell in any way or had been taken to hospital. sergei lavrov there, the russian foreign minister. the turkish government has accused a kurdish separatist group of being behind a bomb blast that killed six people in istanbul. no group has admitted carrying out sunday's attack, but authorities have accused the kurdistan workers' party or pkk of responsibility. a suspect has been arrested. the incident is thought to have been terrorist related and carried out by a woman. joining me now from istanbul is our correspondent, anna foster. what more can you tell is about the arrest? ., , what more can you tell is about the arrest? . , ., , ., arrest? the arrest was made in the early hours — arrest? the arrest was made in the early hours of _ arrest? the arrest was made in the early hours of the _ arrest? the arrest was made in the early hours of the morning, - arrest? the arrest was made in the early hours of the morning, and - arrest? the arrest was made in the early hours of the morning, and in| early hours of the morning, and in fact, turkish authorities have released still pictures and video of this women. we saw yesterday cctv of a woman here sitting on a bench for 40 minutes, shortly after she moved away, a bomb which was believed to have been left behind in a bag under
10:27 am
that bench detonated right behind me where you can see. they said initially they think the pkk, the kurdistan workers party were responsible for this and they do have a long history of attacks here in turkey. it is worth saying that reuters, the news agency reuters say senior turkish officials have told them they are also not ruling out links with the so—called islamic state group who also have a history of a here in turkey. as you can see here on the street, less than 24 hours after that attack, is busy at as it has always been, these turkish flags a new edition, arrived half an hour to go, to big lorries lining the street with flags, almost in defiance of what you saw yesterday. people are out here again, the shops ijy people are out here again, the shops by me right where the blast happened, you can see they are closed because the windows had been shattered but on the other side of the camera shops are open, people are here, drinking coffee, eating

10:30 am
particularly, have really come down to sort of nail—biting territory, in terms of how close they have been. that mid—term backlash for the sitting president, the sitting party has not been as dramatic as we've seenin has not been as dramatic as we've seen in previous election cycles. i've seen some commentators even say there is a path, a narrow one, but nonetheless a path for the democrats to retain control of the other house, the house of representatives, although the republican party has been very much predicted right through this to win control of that particular house. what are your views on the state of that? i suspect the republicans will narrowly take the house of representatives. right now they are sitting on 212, and there is quite a fairfew yet sitting on 212, and there is quite a fair few yet to be called. but it looks like they have enough districts as of now, as of the content of now that would take them
10:31 am
over the 218 seats that they would need to have a majority. i do not think they will have a large majority, it will be relatively close. maybe 222 or so, but they will not have an overwhelming majority in the house but it looks like they will control back. it does look like the democrats now will control the senate with the nevada election being called, and we will have to watch the georgia run off to see if they get to 51 seats in the senate. ., ., senate. note the wave the republicans _ senate. note the wave the republicans are _ senate. note the wave the republicans are talking - senate. note the wave the i republicans are talking about senate. note the wave the - republicans are talking about by any means, so that brings us onto what we were told will be an announcement by former president donald on tuesday. tomorrow. lots of speculation that this would be him announcing he is going to run again for the white house. but a lot of republicans are sounding uneasy about that now, aren't they? hater? about that now, aren't they? very much so, about that now, aren't they? very

ahead. to ukraine now where residents in the city of kherson have continued to celebrate the departure of russian troops. ukraine's president, volodymyr zelensky, is visiting the southern city of kherson, only days after it was recaptured following russia's withdrawal. president zelenksky,said that investigators have uncovered evidence of war crimes in the region, which was occupied for over 8 months. the security situation remains tense, and an overnight curfew has been imposed — amid fears that russian troops may resume shelling. i'm joined now by our correspondent, catherine byaruhanga, who's in the capital, kyiv. 0n those war crimes claims that the president has made, what more has he said about the evidence in kherson? we are seeing pictures and videos of president zelensky on a small chair of kherson. he was in the city centre at the main square to
10:34 am
celebrate. this time, he was escorted by tight security, he addressed troops they are and also small crowds of residents that had gathered in the city centre. and he told them, we are moving forward, we are ready for peace, peace for all our country. remember that russian troops are not too far from the city square, they had retreated to the eastern bank of the reverie, they can still fire shells to the city where president zelensky was. but he said it was important for him to come to kherson, especially at this time, to stand with the people there, show them support, remember, they had been under russian occupation for more than eight months. he said it was important to come there to show them that the ukrainian army is serious about taking territory away from the russians. there was lots of happiness, people were waving
10:35 am
ukrainian flags, small children were there, you can see the joy in the people there as president zelensky are there this morning.— are there this morning. there are warninis are there this morning. there are warnings to _ are there this morning. there are warnings to people _ are there this morning. there are warnings to people to _ are there this morning. there are warnings to people to exercise i warnings to people to exercise caution, the curfew as we mentioned in the introduction, a good degree of caution. in terms of looking ahead to the next couple of months into the winter, what is the position of ukraine and what will they be doing militarily, logistically, to try and build on being able to take back that territory? fist being able to take back that territory?— being able to take back that territo ? �* ., being able to take back that territo ? . ., , territory? at the moment, the focus has been on — territory? at the moment, the focus has been on consolidation. - has been on consolidation. consolidating areas that they have taken, even in kherson itself. we were hearing reports there were explosions, artillery fire, around kherson even while the president was there. some of those exclusions could have been de—mining efforts, there are so many unexploded munitions around the regions, so
10:36 am
ukrainian officials and authorities are now focused on trying to remove those explosives, make it safe enough for people to return. winter is coming, they have managed to take this city, but the next few months are going to make it very difficult for ukrainian and russian forces to operate in the country. ukraine officials have insisted that despite the winter, they will keep fighting to take territory, territory in the south but also in the east where there are other front lines where they are taking on the russian forces. and? we are seeing some images of president zelensky on that visit to kherson. figs images of president zelensky on that visit to kherson.— visit to kherson. as you say, lookini visit to kherson. as you say, looking at — visit to kherson. as you say, looking at a _ visit to kherson. as you say, looking at a small _ visit to kherson. as you say, looking at a small area, - visit to kherson. as you say, i looking at a small area, walking around a small area of the city, hugely symbolic visit by him. thank you very much. more now on the deal signed between the uk and france
10:37 am
in an attempt to reduce the number of people crossing the english channel on small boats. more than 40,000 people have made the crossing this year and the additional payments from the uk to france will be spent on increased patrols and improved surveillance technology. earlier i was joined by danny shaw, a policing and justice commentator , and began by asking him why this latest agreement was needed. the other agreements that have been put in place haven't been enough to stop the flow of people getting in and getting small boats and getting across to the uk. an intelligence cell set up injuly 2020, that was the first major agreement, when priti patel was home secretary. that clearly helps in terms of gathering information about the gangs. then the amount of money was £28 million, then it was £54 million a year, now it is about £63 million a year. so the number, the amount of money has gone up a little bit. there has been an increase in surveillance, and drone technology, the number of officers patrolling, and we are seeing them again.
10:38 am
but let's not get carried away here. the number of officers who are going to be patrolling is increasing but we are told it is going to be in the coming months, it is not immediately. it is going to take some time for that to happen. the stationing of border force officers, national crime agency officers in points in france is obviously welcome, but it is not exactly what the uk wanted. i think the uk wanted their own officers patrolling the coastline in france. the home office believes that the interception rate, if the interception of people smuggling gangs can reach 75%, it is going to destroy the business model that they run. we heard simonjones allude to that a little earlier. the interception rate this year is around 42%. how difficult is it going to be to get that up to somewhere in the region of 75%? it is a big challenge and it is interesting to hear the foreign secretary this morning and the home secretary not making any
10:39 am
predictions and saying, yes, we are going to reach that target by this point. they are being very cautious in what they are saying because i think they know the government has previously over promised in this area and under delivered. so they are being quite cautious about their predictions. i think if you get it up to 75 to 80% that will make substantial inroad. it will deter, but the danger is that the people smuggling gangs will adapt their techniques... prime minister rishi sunak has suggested tax rises and spending cuts to be announced in the autumn statement later this week are "justified", because they've already contributed to economic stability in the uk. mr sunak is in bali today for the g20 summit. on his way there, he told journalists that the uk's financial situation has already improved because of the promises he's made. 0ur political correspondent ben wright has more. this is a big week for rishi sunak�*s government. last night, the prime minister left for bali
10:40 am
and a summit of world leaders where the fallout from russia's invasion of ukraine will dominate talks. of course, the impact on energy costs is being felt here and is one of the problems the chancellor will try to tackle when he makes his autumn statement on thursday. jeremy hunt has a very difficultjob on his hands. inflation is high, interest rates are rising and the economy is sliding into recession. there is a gap of about £55 billion in the government finances and the chancellor has said everyone will feel the consequences. we are going to see everyone paying more tax. we are going to see spending cuts. i think it is very important to say that we are a resilient country. we will introduce a plan that will see us through the very choppy waters that we are in economically. income tax thresholds are likely to be frozen for the next six years — a stealthy way of raising billions in extra pounds for the treasury, even though tax rates don't change.
10:41 am
jeremy hunt said he will protect the most vulnerable and we will find out on thursday what that means for benefits and pensions. public services such as hospitals and schools are already under huge pressure — their budgets squeezed by inflation. but they are unlikely to get any extra cash soon. we would reform that energy profits levy to make it a proper windfall tax, and we think that backdating it to january, when those windfall profits from war started to come into the coffers for those energy companies, extending it by an additional two years, closing some of those loopholes and putting up that tax rate so it matches the level of taxes of energy companies in norway, we believe that could bring in an additional £50 billion. 0n the plane to bali, rishi sunak said the government's job was to restore stability to the country's finances. but that will come at a cost we can all expect to feel. ben wright, bbc news. primark�*s website has crashed
10:42 am
after the retailer finally launched online service this morning. it is starting a trial in 25 stores across north—west england, initially restricted to children's products only. previously you could only buy products from primark, by visiting a store and they still won't deliver, it's only click and collect. emma simpson has had exclusive access to the company's manchester megastore, to find out more. next, please! you don't see queues like this in many shops these days. it is the budget chain where baskets are filled to the brim. and where some shoppers are now spending to save. to be honest, i bought stuff to keep me warm in the flat because it's really cold in my flat at the moment. i've got storage heaters and they cost of fortune. and they cost a fortune. so i've just been upstairs and got warm jackets, like hoodies and things like that just to wear, really. just to add a bit of layer and a bit of warmth. freezing. no heating on. costs too much, so we've got our dad
10:43 am
in a care home and stuff so we just can't afford it. we are just buying warm bits. warm bits? yeah, just wrap up nice and warm. this is the snoodie department. 0versized hoodies doing a roaring trade as temperatures drop. we've got a great selection. meet the boss of primark, ready for a busy christmas. are people trading down to primark? i think customers are looking for better value all the time. i think at primark, we offer them outstanding value. and i think we are attracting new customers as a consequence of that. we have a vintage clothing area in the store, we have cafes, barbers, nail bars, we are, i think, the new department store. but it has never had an online business. today, though, it has finally started a click and collect trial here in the north west of england. but how many more clothes do we really need? don't you think that fast, cheap fashion is going to reach
10:44 am
a tipping point pretty soon? that it's just not sustainable. we have worked so hard and continue to work hard on ensuring we are improving the quality and the durability of her clothing. we do not want customers to buy something and then discard it. we want them to buy, love, and keep it in their wardrobe, hand it down to their friends. no holding back here. christmas shopping has started early in the high street. are you spending a bit less this christmas, then? probably not, no. working more. and we are looking for the best possible deals. i think this is going to be a massively promotional christmas. black friday is going to be earlier, partly because that is the retailers want to get them going, partly because the world cup is coming and retailers don't know how that is going to play out. but these people are looking for really good prices and if they don't find them, they will not be buying products. and unlike last year, there is plenty of stock retailers really need to shift.

10:50 am
difficulty" will need to be taken as he prepares to set out his tax and spending plans in this week's autumn statement. it will affect the household budgets of millions of families across britain, including samuel, a dad—of—two from bristol, who's having to make his own difficult decisions on a daily basis in order to break even. fiona lamdin has been to meet him. samuel and his boys live here on the 15th floor. samuel used to be a security guard. he has been signed off sick. today, he is sorting his benefits. yes, i have a sick note. this is the situation. there is zenuel, there is lysander and there is myself, dad. a single father living in a one—bedroom flat, overcrowded.
10:51 am
we are on the 15th floor. none of these things should be happening. follow me. this is what we have to live in. then there is the bedroom. i will come in and i will sleep here. so your feet and your head don't even fit on the bed? i will literally sleep here. like that. and what happens, he tends to come round, because he wants some warmth. he will come over to me and cuddle up to me. so we all end up sleeping like that. it's just ridiculous. nine years i have been here. three of us sleeping in one bed. and i am not the only one in this position. i am not the only one. there are families in here, in this block, there are families in that block. there are families all over bristol going through situations like we are going through. some worse than others. and i really can't
10:52 am
take any more of this. this is the first time... he sobs there is no slack. he is bringing up his boys on his own. after he has paid all his bills, he is left with £52 a week to cover everything — school uniform, shoes and all theirfood. you have got to find the times when they are putting the prices down. what time is that? if you don't get there in the morning, it is usually at the night, when they switch over. they are the best times. like the cheese — we haven't had cheese for a while because the prices were not changing on it. they weren't putting them down. so i had to wait — literally, i had to save to buy cheese. that is not right. it is now time for the school run. catching the bus is expensive,
10:53 am
but it is too far to walk. hi, i am samuel, lysander�*s father. i was just about to call you. i was just about to call you to say i was going to be late. so, over a month, that's the way i calculate it, i am doing over £130 plus a month. 0nce lysander has been collected, it is time to think about tonight's supper. what i do, i take the money out so i know i don't go over, so i stay within that budget. if i go over, then i will put stuff back. it is now four o'clock. samuel is hoping he hasn't missed the offers. no, they haven't got any in today now. can't afford to get that.
10:54 am
now, we can't get that because it will eat the money up. so instead he sticks with the basics and they head home to eat. you are not going to wait till last? you let the little ones eat and, whatever is left, then i would eat it. so i will take, basically, the scraps off their... it sounds horrible to say that, doesn't it — scraps? i will take what they are not eating. that's the way it goes. and while it cooks, time to have a bath. because you can't put the heating on. you can't turn the water on, because that is going to... you would be out of pocket. so what i have to do, and it does save money, fill this kettle, max, and i will boil that. so i would use this to have a bath.
10:55 am
samuel says heating the hot water in the tank is too expensive. using the kettle is much cheaper. but it means zenuel�*s bath is really shallow. you are living on the bare minimum as it is, anyway, and then everything around you is going up. it is like being in a sinking ship and you have a teaspoon to get the water out to save yourself. that is what it is like. fiona lamdin, bbc news. on this day, 100 years ago, the bbc broadcast its first ever radio programme. back in 1922, it was known as the british broadcasting company, and ran it's first—ever radio the first programme was a news bulletin read by arthur burrows, who read it twice — once fast and then slowly — so that listeners could take notes if they wished.
10:56 am
we understand that uk prime minister hasjust we understand that uk prime minister has just arrived we understand that uk prime minister hasjust arrived in bali for the t20, more on that coming up, you are watching bbc news. hello again. it's a fairly cloudy day today. in fact, some of this morning's fog just lifting into low cloud. and in addition to that, we've got this weather front in the west, which is slowly bringing some rain from the west to the east. and you can see behind it ahead of the next weather front, well, so fairly cloudy, some brighter breaks to the east of high ground, but you can see the progress our weatherfront�*s making moving from the west towards the east, very slowly. behind it, it will brighten up and the wind will start to pick up as well with temperatures 11 to 16 degrees north to south. so not as warm in parts of wales as it was yesterday. now through this evening and overnight, our weatherfront continues to drift eastwards and weakens. there will be
10:57 am
a fair bit of cloud in eastern areas with some drizzle. but the next potent weather front comes in from the west, introducing some heavy and persistent rain and also strengthening winds. we could have gusts to gale force through the irish sea, the southwest and the english channel. that's all courtesy of this clutch of fronts all connected to this area of low pressure. and it's moving from the west towards east and the northeast, taking its rain with it. now, it's going to be windy along the weather front and also ahead of it and behind it, we're looking at sunshine and showers, but still gusty winds through the english channel —the wind picking up in the north sea and also the northern isles later. in fact, in the northern isles, we could have gusts to gale force at times later in the day. but even inland, it's going to be a noticeably windy day. temperatures down. we're looking at 11 to about 13 degrees at best. now, as we move from tuesday into wednesday, low pressure still dominating our weather. the first clutch of fronts moves away. we've got another one coming in and then another one coming in.
10:58 am
so it's a real conveyor belt of weather fronts coming our way in the next few days. so for wednesday, we start with sunshine and showers, but it's not long before the rain gathers in the southwest and it's going to be pushing northwards and eastwards with gales, for example, around the southwest. wednesday, too, still strong winds developing across the northern isles, in fact, increasing as we go through the overnight period from wednesday into thursday with gusts here of 80 miles an hour. but through the day on thursday, not as windy. we're looking at a day of sunshine and showers and a day of sunshine and showers to follow on friday.

11:00 am
this is bbc news. the headlines at 11... the uk signs another deal with france to increase patrols on french beaches, aimed at preventing channel crossings in small boats. the new arrangement will see the uk taxpayer pay an extra £8 million a year to france — the home secretary defends the agreement. 0n the uk coastline, on the french coastline, is absolutely integral to ensuring that there is a robust barrier. the government says it once to see a significant drop in the number of people making the crossing but refuses to put any figures on it. but more migrants have arrived in dover this morning, though in the
11:01 am
past few minutes, this fog has descended, show having —— showing how dangerous it can be in the channel. the prime minister claims expected tax rises and spending cuts have already stabilised financial markets. world leaders gather this morning in bali for the annual g20 summit. it's joe biden's first meeting with the chinese leader as president. and retailer primark goes online with a new click—and—collect service being trialled across north—west engalnd. with france in an attempt to reduce the number of people crossing the english channel on small boats. this year has seen the highest number on record — with more than 40,000 people making the crossing. under the latest deal, the uk will increase the amount
11:02 am
of money it pays france each year — to £63 million. so what will this money be spent on? more police patrols — there'll be a 40% increase in officers patrolling beaches in northern france to improve early detection and disruption of illegal small boat crossings, so from around 200 to 300. an expansion in surveillance, more cctv, and dog detection teams in france to prevent illegal entry via lorries. and for the first time, uk officers will be embedded with french counterparts, to understand the threat and help inform deployments. but there are concerns that although the deal may disrupt the people smugglers operating in france, it's unlikely to end their trade. this report from our correspondent, leigh milner. more migrants being led off boats in dover. so far this year, more than 40,000 have made the perilous crossing — the highest number on record. today, the home secretary, suella braverman, will sign
11:03 am
an agreement that will increase the money the uk pays france from around £55 million a year to 63 million. this will fund extra patrols on french beaches, increasing the number of officers involved from 200 to 300. there will also be more use of drones and night—vision equipment. and both uk and french observers will work together in each other�*s control rooms to help coordinate their deployments. what is important is that in order to solve the problem of illegal migration on the channel, we take a multi—dimensional approach. there is no single answer, no quick fix, no silver bullet. 0ur cooperation and collaboration with the french on the channel, on the uk coastline, on the french coastline is absolutely integral to ensuring there is a robust barrier preventing people disembarking from the french beaches in the first place.
11:04 am
but the british government has always stressed there is no single solution, and while this renewed deal aims to further disrupt the people smugglers operating in france, it is unlikely to put an end to their trade. leigh milner, bbc news. i'm joined now by our reporter simonjones, who's in dover for us this morning. this new deal is being described by the british government as a new step in relations with france, increased cooperation, and the key headline from it is the idea of more french police officers on the beach is over in northern france to try to stop the crossings but as that deal was being signed in paris, more migrants were arriving in doverfor stopping the past few minutes, the fog has descended and it shows how conditions can really change in the
11:05 am
channel and how dangerous it can actually be but over the weekend, we saw a huge number of people arriving, almost 1000 people on saturday alone, 850 people arriving yesterday and boats coming across overnight. in terms of how this deal is going to bejudged, it will ultimately be on numbers because more than 41,000 people have succeeded in making the crossing so far this year. the french authorities are preventing around 42% of crossings from launching from beaches. that is according to the latest data. the authorities believe the figure needs to be in the region of 70 to 80% to act as a real deterrent to the people smugglers who are organising these journeys. the government here was asked today in terms ofjudging video, how much do you want to see numbers for but they wouldn't put a figure on it.
11:06 am
james cleverly told the bbc he wanted to see it fall by a significant number. what is certain is a lot of politicians in the government are putting their revocation on the line with this, not just the revocation on the line with this, notjust the home secretary, but the prime minister himself. rishi sunak has said he is determined to get a grip of this issue was of recesses becoming minister, apart from all the work on the economy on the cost of living crisis, this is the issue he is going to be focusing on the most and that means that he ultimately will be judged by whether numbers do actually come down. i think it is worth saying what is not in this agreement as well as what is, what we are not seeing is any talk of turning boats back at sea or authorities intervening once the boats take to the water, they don't think that would be safe, but no talk either of any sort of returns agreement, which could see people who land here in kent actually returned to france or other eu countries they have passed through. that is something the government
11:07 am
would like to see but so far, it has met with resistance from the eu. danny shaw, an expert in policing and security issues, explained why this latest agreement was needed. the other agreements that have been put in place haven't been enough to stop the flow of people getting in and getting small boats and getting across to the uk. an intelligence cell set up injuly 2020, that was the first major agreement, when priti patel was home secretary. that clearly helps in terms of gathering information about the gangs. then the amount of money was £28 million, then it was £54 million a year, now it is about £63 million a year. so the number, the amount of money has gone up a little bit. there has been an increase in surveillance, and drone technology, the number of officers patrolling, and we are seeing them again. but let's not get carried away here. the number of officers who are going to be patrolling is increasing but we are told it is going to be in the coming months, it is not immediately. it is going to take some time for that to happen. the stationing of border force officers, national crime agency

officers in points in france is obviously welcome, but it is not exactly what the uk wanted. i think the uk wanted their own officers patrolling the coastline in france. let's speak to natalie elphicke, the conservative mp for dover and deal... do you think increasingly number of officers patrolling that coastline to 300 is going to make a big difference? i to 300 is going to make a big difference?— to 300 is going to make a big difference? ~ ., ., , difference? i think unfortunately this new deal _ difference? i think unfortunately this new deal falls _ difference? i think unfortunately this new deal falls far _ difference? i think unfortunately this new deal falls far short i difference? i think unfortunately this new deal falls far short of i this new deal falls far short of what is needed to tackle the small boats crossing and it does not reflect the urgency or the impact of this issue in dover, kent and indeed across the country as a whole. itoothed across the country as a whole. what would erect — across the country as a whole. what would erect the _ across the country as a whole. what would erect the cbm _ across the country as a whole. what would erect the cbm done? i - across the country as a whole. what would erect the cbm done? i think. would erect the cbm done? i think what we need _ would erect the cbm done? i think what we need to _ would erect the cbm done? i think what we need to make _ would erect the cbm done? i think what we need to make chili - would erect the cbm done? i think what we need to make chili have l what we need to make chili have british officers working alongside the french. . , . british officers working alongside the french-— the french. that is exec what is iioin to the french. that is exec what is going to happen- _ the french. that is exec what is going to happen. they - the french. that is exec what is going to happen. they will- the french. that is exec what is going to happen. they will be i going to happen. they will be embedded on the ground. thea;r going to happen. they will be embedded on the ground. they were not be ond embedded on the ground. they were rrot beyond the _ embedded on the ground. they were not beyond the beaches, _ embedded on the ground. they were not beyond the beaches, they - embedded on the ground. they were not beyond the beaches, they will i not beyond the beaches, they will not beyond the beaches, they will not beyond the beaches, they will not be able to exercise operational

powers, in terms of actually tackling small boats crossings, they will be observers in the control rooms. that is the basis for the agreement. we have had joint controls, joint and now for a number of years with the french and that is not tackling this issue. the only thing that will tackle this issue is making sure that the boats are stop in france before they get in the water and unfortunately, this agreement does not get us to where we need to be to tackle this very urgent and very serious small boats crisis. ~ ., , ., urgent and very serious small boats crisis. ~ ., ., , , urgent and very serious small boats crisis. ., ., , , ., urgent and very serious small boats crisis. ~ ., ., , , ., crisis. what sort of numbers do you think would — crisis. what sort of numbers do you think would make _ crisis. what sort of numbers do you think would make a _ crisis. what sort of numbers do you think would make a difference? i crisis. what sort of numbers do you i think would make a difference? there is 175 kilometres of coastline, how many officers do you think would be needed and how many british officers do you think should be sent? there is very good — do you think should be sent? there is very good intelligence _ do you think should be sent? there is very good intelligence in - do you think should be sent? ii—ii” is very good intelligence in terms of when there are likely to be these red days, the days when there is activity in large numbers and when people are leaving france, they are leaving from very well—recognised beaches around calais and dunkirk.
11:10 am
there is good intelligence about where interception and action is needed. and it is on those days into declared that we need to see the increased people deployed. i would like to see the offer of uk support been accepted by the french and also other european countries coming to the aid of france. it is not an issue they can tackle by themselves. they need help and assistance of the uk and other european partners and i very much hope that we will see those discussions going on that direction when president macron and the prime minister rishi sunak are going to meet to discuss this issue. the issue in terms of the numbers and how they are being dealt with seems to be one of processing and how long it is taking for claims to be processed. some, not many, but some are waiting five years to have their claims process. there is a
11:11 am
backlog of 103,000 asylum claims. what needs to be done about that? identity is very difficult to get on top of the processing when the numbers just keep increasing and exhilarating and how many people are coming in. we have now seen this over 40,000 this year, we are expecting as much as another 10,000 by the end of this year. but this is overwhelmingly processing centres in dover and kent, overwhelmingly processing centres in doverand kent, it overwhelmingly processing centres in dover and kent, it is putting an incredible strain on the local resources, be that housing, education locally, and it makes it really difficult to get on top of those processing of those numbers was not everyone to get on top of the processing, we need to stop the boats coming in in the first place, reducing those numbers and i think this is a small boats crisis, it needs more urgent attention and action and that is what we need to see happening in france and unfortunately, this latest agreement is more of the same. it is not that step change that is needed to tackle

11:13 am
refugee camp. it is hard to see how this is really going to make a massive difference.— this is really going to make a massive difference. what in your o-inion massive difference. what in your opinion would — massive difference. what in your opinion would make _ massive difference. what in your opinion would make a _ massive difference. what in yourl opinion would make a difference? that is a very good question and i don't think the answer is as straightforward one. it is important to acknowledge that some of the problems we are facing are about large—scale geopolitics and the opportunity the uk has to cooperate with france effectively, it is no longer part of the eu, the dublin rules regulations, that allow us to return people to an earlier safe country they may have passed through. the sort of levels of enforcement activity that would need to go on to stop the boats from arriving at all would be very, very significant and require very large amounts of resources. and i am not
11:14 am
really sure even then whether or not it would just not move the proper again. that is what we have seen, the closure of the refugee camp in 2002, 2003, that created the jungle, which meant there was no safe space where people could stay, that fed into the securitisation of the port of calais and the hundreds of millions of pounds that went into that. and that basically then push the problem further down the coast and created what we are now seeing. it is hard to not see the efforts from trying to stop this from happening on location is happening at the moment for just happening on location is happening at the moment forjust it elsewhere. 0ther at the moment forjust it elsewhere. other european countries point out that the number of migrants coming to the uk is very small compared with a number of migrants going to other european countries.— other european countries. that's true as well- _ other european countries. that's true as well. at _ other european countries. that's true as well. at the _ other european countries. that's true as well. at the end - other european countries. that's true as well. at the end of i other european countries. that's true as well. at the end of the l other european countries. that's i true as well. at the end of the day, thatis true as well. at the end of the day, that is what i was trying to say at the beginning, this is a global
11:15 am
issue. the vast majority of asylum seekers and refugees are any countries around the countries where whatever problematic scenarios are unfolding. places like poland have seen larger numbers of people coming from ukraine. that is not a factor in this issue. but then again, if you look at somewhere like turkey, lebanon, they have to deal with more people with the crisis in syria than the uk has. that is the way that crises like this tend to unfold. and the uk compared to other european countries is further away and it has had considerably fewer per capita asylum claims than other countries. in absolute terms, the number of asylum seekers in the uk i think was about fourth compared to other eu countries, places like germany and france seeing considerably more asylum applications, but when we
11:16 am
look at it per capita, considering the size of the uk population, compared to other european countries, we are round about 18 or 19. ., ~ , ., countries, we are round about 18 or 19. ., ~ i. ., ., , president biden and xi jingping president biden and xijingping have met for the first time. the g20 summit which is taking place in bali is already full with tension over russia's invasion of ukraine. just a then what is top of the agenda. just a then what is top of the aienda. . , just a then what is top of the aienda. ., , ., , agenda. certainly, over the course ofthe agenda. certainly, over the course of the last few _ agenda. certainly, over the course of the last few hours, _ agenda. certainly, over the course of the last few hours, it _ agenda. certainly, over the course of the last few hours, it has i agenda. certainly, over the course of the last few hours, it has been. of the last few hours, it has been that meeting between president xi

jingping and the us presidentjoe biden. that has really taken centre stage. we saw the two men shake answer, face—to—face for the very first time sincejoe biden took office and joe biden putting his hand on xijingping are possibly a shoulder, perfectly practised smiles for the camera. they then went into a room and had a few words and spoke to each other about how important it is to collaborate and not have contractual interestingly, xi jingping making the point that nothing really beats a face—to—face meeting. and i think that in itself will be seen as a success at the g20. you have the leaders of the two most powerful economies in the world, the us and china, sitting down and having a discussion face—to—face after years of tensions, especially as you point out over taiwan padova trade. and there is a hope for many people i have been speaking to at the g20 that if these two can sort it out,
11:18 am
if you will, then perhaps they will be able to address some of the bigger global problems that are facing the world today. pond bigger global problems that are facing the world today.- bigger global problems that are facing the world today. and on that, the issues around _ facing the world today. and on that, the issues around the _ facing the world today. and on that, the issues around the global- the issues around the global economy, is not going to dominate the main discussions? i economy, is not going to dominate the main discussions?— the main discussions? i think it certainly will. _ the main discussions? i think it certainly will. issues _ the main discussions? i think it certainly will. issues that i i the main discussions? i think it certainly will. issues that i am | certainly will. issues that i am imagining are very familiar to viewers back in the uk, things like the rising cost of living, the rising cost of food and fuel as well, affected of course by that war in ukraine, another big talking point for leaders as they gather here. it is a theme that we have heard time and time again, people in indonesia as well having suffered as a result of inflation and they are looking i think global collaboration on this, for there to be some sort of leadership on this issue. i think everybody recognises the global economy is in for a rough patch over the next couple of years and if there is anyway to alleviate some of
11:19 am

11:20 am
difficult relationship that the indonesians who have been hosting this so it had tried to navigate between russia and the west and head of the summit in fact, the indonesian president crisscrossing the globe, meeting president putin in person to try and get him to come to the g20 in order to solve some of these thorny issues but he has chosen not to attend in person. some suggestion... some suggestion he may attend virtually but no confirmation of that. ukrainian president volodymyr zelensky says investigators have discovered evidence of more than 400 war crimes in areas of kherson abandoned by russian forces as they retreated. mr zelensky said the bodies of civilians and soldiers had been found. the bbc has been unable to verify the allegations. moscow denies its troops intentionally target civilians. ukrainian authorities imposed an overnight curfew and have restricted travel in and out of kherson.
11:21 am
we are seeing pictures, videos of president zelensky on a small tour of kherson. he was in the city centre at the main square where people had been celebrating. this time he was escorted by tight security and address to the troops and also small crowds of residents that had gathered in the city centre. and he told them, we are moving forward, we are ready for peace, peace for all our country. remember that russian troops are not too far from the city square. they had retreated to the eastern bank of the river. they can still fire at hilary shells to the city where president zelensky was but he said it was important for him to come to kherson, especially at this time, to stand with the people there, show them support. remember they had been under russian occupation for more than eight months. he said it was important to come there to show them
11:22 am
that the ukrainian army was serious about taking territory away from the russians, so there was a lot of happiness, people were waving ukrainian flags, small children with air, so you could see the joy and the people there as president zelensky arrived this morning. at the moment, the focus has been on consolidation. consolidating areas that they have taken, even in kherson itself. we were hearing reports that there were still explosions, maybe artillery fire around kherson, even whilst president leslie was there. some of those explosions could have been mining efforts because there were so many landmines and unexploded munitions around the regions and sell ukrainian authorities are now focused on trying to remove those explosives, make it safe enough for people to return back. but winter is coming. they have managed to take the city but then the next few months are going to make it very
11:23 am
difficult for ukrainian and russian forces to operate in the country. but ukraine officials have insisted that despite the winter, they will keep fighting to take territory, territory in the south, but also in the east, where you have other front lines where they are taking on the russian forces. the turkish government has accused a kurdish separatist group of being behind a bomb blast that killed six people in istanbul. no group has admitted carrying out sunday's attack, but authorities have accused the kurdistan workers' party or pkk of responsibility. a suspect has been arrested. the incident is thought to have been terrorist related and carried out by a woman. joining me now from istanbul is our correspondent, anna foster. what is the latest? as you can see, this street right _ what is the latest? as you can see, this street right in _ what is the latest? as you can see, this street right in the _ what is the latest? as you can see, this street right in the heart - what is the latest? as you can see, this street right in the heart of- this street right in the heart of istanbul is every bit as busy added —— as it would normally be at this time on a monday. you can see the people, some of them are coming to lay flowers at the scene of the attack, some of them are taking

11:25 am
2015 and 2017, istanbul was not as relaxed as it is now. turkey was not as relaxed as it is now because there was a campaign of violence by there was a campaign of violence by the pkk and by islamist militants that saw around 500 people killed in this country and what people are concerned about, because it has been quiet now for so many years, is that a return to that level of violence could potentially be on the cards. there are elections doing turkey roundaboutjune of next year and people fear that this could be a precursors to that electoral campaign, they have seen that happen before and while they have got used to a more relaxed and safer place of life, they saw yesterday just how quickly things can change. 1,600 jobs are at risk after fashion and homeware retailer joules said it intends to appoint administrators.

the prime minister has announced tax cuts that are justified because they have already contributed to economic stability in the uk. as we heard rishi sunak has arrived in bali for the g20 summit. this is a big week for rishi sunakgovernment. last night he left the barley what the fallout from russia's invasion of ukraine will dominate talks. of course, the impact on energy costs is being felt here and is one of the problem is that the chancellor will tackle when he makes his autumn statement on thursday. jeremy hunt has a very difficultjob on his hands. inflation is high, interest rates are rising in the country is sliding into recession. there is a gap of about £55 billion in the country's
11:37 am
finances and the chancellor said that everyone will feel the consequences. we are going to see everyone paying more tax we are going to see spending cuts that i think it is very important to say that we are a resilient country, we will introduce a plan that will see through the very choppy waters that we are in economically. income tax thresholds are likely to be frozen for the next six years. a stealthy way of raising billions of extra pounds for the treasury even though tax rates don't change. jeremy hunt said that he will protect the most vulnerable and we will find out on thursday what that means the benefits and pensions, public services like hospitals and schools are already under huge pressure, their budgets squeezed by inflation. but they are unlikely to get any extra cash soon. irate but they are unlikely to get any extra cash soon.— but they are unlikely to get any extra cash soon. ~ . ., extra cash soon. we will perform the men tax extra cash soon. we will perform the energy tax levy _ extra cash soon. we will perform the energy tax levy to — extra cash soon. we will perform the energy tax levy to make _ extra cash soon. we will perform the energy tax levy to make it _ extra cash soon. we will perform the energy tax levy to make it a - extra cash soon. we will perform the energy tax levy to make it a proper l energy tax levy to make it a proper windfall tax and we think that by backdating it to january when those rates started to rise, extending it

admit that mistakes made by liz truss's government does mean that the uk faces a difficult decision at the uk faces a difficult decision at the moment. we talk about the sort of policies in be said on thursday, spelling out one there, the idea of income tax threshold is being frozen where they are, that means as people's wages go up people find them going into higher tax bands that aren't in turn going up with inflation. it is quite a stealthy way of getting more people to pay more tax. we could be seeing an extension of the windfall tax on energy companies that was brought in a matter of months ago. we do know that the chancellorjeremy hunt has already spoken about the idea of a more targeted energy scheme from april onwards. everyone at the moment is getting money of their energy bills but it does look like from april onwards that will be more targeted towards perhaps pensioners, the most vulnerable people struggling the most. of course, that could see a lot of households see
11:40 am
their bills go up quite considerably wants the support they are currently seeing comes to an end and as they mentioned, we all know about the idea of spending cuts that we could be facing a lot of that lately to come via increases in budgets, simply not keeping up with inflation which means real term cuts. lots of speculation about what could be exactly spelled—out on thursday when the chancellorjeremy hunt gets his feet. i think what we do know for sure, we're going to see cuts and tax for everyone. as sure, we're going to see cuts and tax for everyone.— sure, we're going to see cuts and tax for everyone. as we say, that is on thursday- _ tax for everyone. as we say, that is on thursday- at _ tax for everyone. as we say, that is on thursday. at the _ tax for everyone. as we say, that is on thursday. at the meantime i tax for everyone. as we say, that is| on thursday. at the meantime rishi sunak is at the g20 and bali. his first g20 as prime minister. how much of the testers is going to be for him and his leadership? the interesting _ for him and his leadership? tie: interesting thing about for him and his leadership? ti2 interesting thing about rishi sunak, interesting thing about rishi sunak, in many ways in the international stage is a bit of an unknown quality. he went to the cop in egypt
11:41 am
and he seems to be quite happy with how a lot of those pilot meetings went. lets remember he hasn't been a government ministerfor went. lets remember he hasn't been a government minister for that long and for most of his time in government he was in the treasury, focusing on varied domestic issues rather than international issues. we have heard that he wants to sit down with russia, call up putin's regime, as he puts it. so, his first chance to meet a number of these international leaders that he was having phone calls with when he became prime minister, including president biden. 0f became prime minister, including president biden. of course, all eyes will be on any interactions that he has, president putin is not there but the former soviet minister of russia when it comes to the actions that russia is taking in ukraine at the moment and to see how strongly rishi sunak and dam site, how much he calls out to the face of the russians. but of course, given that the impact we know the war on
11:42 am
ukraine as having domestically when it comes to things like energy prices, perhaps this visit and the autumn statement on thursday are entirely unconnected.— a trial screening programme which scientists hope will transform the way type one diabetes is identified and managed in its earliest stages has launched in the uk. researchers hope to recruit 20,000 children aged between 3 and 13, in an attempt to identify those at high risk of developing the condition which, left undiagnosed or unmanaged, can lead to life—threatening complications. tim muffett has been speaking to one family about the impact the condition has on them. some days are hard but i manage. what you have to do? that will sound familiar to the 400,000 people in the uk with type one diabetes.

11:48 am
the retail sector as well. if retailers are discounting, they are not necessarily making as much profit. and of course, as consumers we change. we change the types of garments and things we have been looking for and particularly over the pandemic, a big change around leather wear and if you are not in that market then again it becomes difficult. has not in that market then again it becomes difficult.— not in that market then again it becomes difficult. has it been quite a sudden change _ becomes difficult. has it been quite a sudden change in _ becomes difficult. has it been quite a sudden change in the _ becomes difficult. has it been quite a sudden change in the fortunes - becomes difficult. has it been quite | a sudden change in the fortunes of? joules or has this been coming? we have joules or has this been coming? , have seen really over the last ten years if we look at retail it has been quite difficult. there hasn't really been a perfect time for retail so i think it has been difficult for quite a few years. if you look at howjoules have been discounting over the last couple of years i think that tends to point that they are obviously trying to attract customers and is a really key way to do it. but then customers

11:50 am
at the moment. because it is going to be really difficult for them. it speaks to the fact that retailers just in quite a difficult position. we have got things like black friday coming up, again, customers are going to be looking for discounts. of course, customers themselves are trying to conserve their own spending. we are always talking about the cost of living. customers are going to be really mindful. you know, winter is coming up, the cost of bills and everything. customers are going to want to bring back their spending a little bit. which is not going to be good for retail. thank you. magician paul daniels died in 2016, and since then his huge collection of memorabilia from those who inspired him, like harry houdini, has remained in storage at his home in berkshire.later this month, it comes up for auction, in a sale that's expected to attract the attention of magicians from around the world. joe campbell's been to meet paul's wife, debbie mcgee, who gave him a sneak preview.
11:51 am
# are you going to like this? he was essential saturday night viewing. and while paul daniels was indisputably the star of the show, many will also remember his props. six years after his death, the guardian of his collection has finally emptied the most magical of garden sheds and put the contents up for sale. i think for anybody, when they have lost somebody, even people have to give people's clothes away and stuff. it feels like you are giving them away. as long as you've got it, you are holding onto a piece of them. i feel it is the right thing, to pass on paul's legacy. and paul daniels himself was a collector of magical memorabilia. these are bits of ephemera, old postcard photographs of things like this, a levitation, probably from the 1800s. they are all of famous magicians. and then this is paul's toupee. this is a circle,
11:52 am
a triangle and a square. but the biggest draw will be the stage props. remember this? paul would open the box and i would get inside. this looks very tight. it is. 0h! i do not think i will be a magician's assistant. you would have your hands shackled in there. you would have your freet shackled down there. and then he would close the door. can i close the door on you? my goodness. i have locked him in. bye! i am never going to use it again. people say, don't say that, debbie. but i stopped doing illusions with paul probably 20 years ago. when the collection comes up for sale in a few weeks, the hope is — as paul daniels never quite said — that the public will like it, every single lot. paul daniels is seminal. he is the most important
11:53 am
british late 20th—century magician full stop. he brought it to the masses. no other magician has done that in the history of magic within britain. if the big collectors came and said when you are ready, we are happy to buy anything. but i didn't want that, i wanted it to be spread out so lots of people can enjoy it. paul daniels was inspired by previous generations of magicians. now, perhaps, he will inspire future stars, too. a group of baby turtles, who were rescued after hurricane ian struck florida, have been released back to sea. one of the creatures has been given the name ian, after the devastating weather event which almost swept him away six weeks ago. tom brada has this report. all right, myrtle and mercury are going in. survivors of one of the worst storms to ever hit the united states. these young turtles were just babies
11:54 am
when florida was struck by a category four storm. hurricane ian made landfall with devastating force, carving a wide path of destruction. among those swept up in the chaos were hundreds of endangered turtles. you see ian, ian is thejuvenile green sea turtle, the largest one in this span that was washed back with hurricane ian. he got national press, so they're going to be excited to see him go out. ian was found trapped in a clump of seaweed fighting for his life. he was a shell of his former self, but he was rushed to a specialist turtle hospital and nursed back to health. he is healthy. he is eating well and swimming well, flippers up, and he is ready to go back to sea soon. there you go. the group of turtles hitched a luxury ride back to sea, ferried on a speedboat to an area where they stand the best
11:55 am
chance of survival. we'll find a nice patch of sargassum weed, which is a nursery of sorts. it will not only provide camouflage for these littles, but also has lots of little sea creatures so they'll have something to eat. wash backs, the technical name for when baby turtles are swept back to land are often deadly. but ian and ia companions are now swimming around the florida keys, granted a second chance of life out at sea. tom brady, bbc news. on this day, 100 years ago, the bbc broadcast its first ever radio programme. back in 1922 it was known as the british broadcasting company, and ran it's first—ever radio broadcast from 2l0, a famous london studio. the first programme was a news bulletin read by arthur burrows, who read it twice — once fast and then slowly — so that listeners could take notes if they wished.

now it's time for a look at the weather. hello again. it's a fairly cloudy day today. in fact, some of this morning's fog just lifting into low cloud. and in addition to that, we've got this weather front in the west, which is slowly bringing some rain from the west to the east. and you can see behind it ahead of the next weather front, well, so fairly cloudy, some brighter breaks to the east of high ground, but you can see the progress our weather front�*s making moving from the west towards the east, very slowly. behind it, it will brighten up and the wind will start to pick up as well with temperatures 11 to 16 degrees north to south. so not as warm in parts of wales as it was yesterday. now through this evening and overnight, our weather front continues to drift eastwards and weakens. there will be a fair bit of cloud in eastern areas with some drizzle. but the next potent weather front comes in from the west, introducing some heavy and persistent rain and also strengthening winds. we could have gusts to gale force through the irish sea, the southwest and the english channel. that's all courtesy of this clutch of fronts all connected to this
11:57 am
area of low pressure. and it's moving from the west towards east and the northeast, taking its rain with it. now, it's going to be windy along the weather front and also ahead of it and behind it, we're looking at sunshine and showers, but still gusty winds through the english channel —the wind picking up in the north sea and also the northern isles later. in fact, in the northern isles, we could have gusts to gale force at times later in the day. but even inland, it's going to be a noticeably windy day. temperatures down. we're looking at 11 to about 13 degrees at best. now, as we move from tuesday into wednesday, low pressure still dominating our weather. the first clutch of fronts moves away. we've got another one coming in and then another one coming in. so it's a real conveyor belt of weather fronts coming our way in the next few days. so for wednesday, we start with sunshine and showers, but it's not long before the rain gathers in the southwest and it's going to be pushing northwards and eastwards with gales,
11:58 am
for example, around the southwest. wednesday, too, still strong winds developing across the northern isles, in fact, increasing as we go through the overnight period from wednesday into thursday with gusts here of 80 miles an hour. but through the day on thursday, not as windy. we're looking at a day of sunshine and showers and a day of sunshine and showers to follow on friday.

this is bbc news. the headlines at midday... the uk signs another deal with france to increase patrols on french beaches, aimed at preventing channel crossings in small boats. 0n the uk coastline, on the french coastline, is absolutely integral to ensuring that there is a robust barrier. the new arrangement will see the uk taxpayer pay an extra £8 million a year to france. the mp for dover says the deal doesn't go fair enough. it does not reflect the urgency or the impact of this issue in dover, kent and indeed across the country as a whole. a new deal brings new pressure on the government to see the number of
12:01 pm
people making the dangerous crossing coming down. they say they want a significant drop but today there have been more arrivals, even though the fog has descended in the channel. the prime minister claims expected tax rises and spending cuts have already stabilised financial markets. a suspect has been arrested in turkey following a bombing on the weekend. world leaders gather this morning in bali for the annual g20 summit. it's joe biden's first meeting with the chinese leader as president. and paul daniels' huge collection of memorabilia comes up for auction. the home secretary has confirmed details of a new agreement signed with france in an attempt to reduce the number of people crossing
12:02 pm
the channel in small boats. this year has seen the highest number on record, with more than 40,000 people making the crossing. under the latest deal, the uk will increase the amount of money it pays france each year to £63 million. so what will this money be spent on? more police patrols. there'll be a 40% increase in officers patrolling beaches in northern france to improve early detection and disruption of illegal small boat crossings, so from around 200 to 300. an expansion in surveillance, more cctv, and dog detection teams in france to prevent illegal entry via lorries. and for the first time, uk officers will be embedded with french counterparts, to understand the threat and help inform deployments. but there are concerns that although the deal may disrupt the people smugglers operating in france, it's unlikely to end their trade. this report from our correspondent, leigh milner.
12:03 pm
more migrants being led off boats in dover. so far this year, more than 40,000 have made the perilous crossing — the highest number on record. today, the home secretary, suella braverman, signed an agreement that will increase the money the uk pays france from around £55 million a year to 63 million. this will fund extra patrols on french beaches, increasing the number of officers involved from 200 to 300. there will also be more use of drones and night—vision equipment. and both uk and french observers will work together in each other�*s control rooms to help coordinate their deployments. what is important is that in order to solve the problem of illegal migration on the channel, we take a multi—dimensional approach. there is no single answer, no quick fix, no silver bullet. 0ur cooperation and collaboration with the french on the channel, on the uk coastline,
12:04 pm
on the french coastline is absolutely integral to ensuring there is a robust barrier preventing people disembarking from the french beaches in the first place. but the british government has always stressed there is no single solution, and while this renewed deal aims to further disrupt the people smugglers operating in france, it is unlikely to put an end to their trade. leigh milner, bbc news. let's go to our reporter simonjones in dover. let's go to our reporter simon jones in dover. . , , in dover. still pretty grim conditions _ in dover. still pretty grim conditions out _ in dover. still pretty grim conditions out in - in dover. still pretty grim conditions out in the - in dover. still pretty grim i conditions out in the channel in dover. still pretty grim - conditions out in the channel but despite that, there have been further arrivals this morning. when we were up on the cliffs, we saw a borderforce we were up on the cliffs, we saw a border force both ringing we were up on the cliffs, we saw a borderforce both ringing in around 100 people, a crossing in the early
12:05 pm
hours of this morning, and i am told there are also still boats out there in the channel in the mist and fog and inevitably that represents a danger for and inevitably that represents a dangerfor shipping and and inevitably that represents a danger for shipping and the and inevitably that represents a dangerfor shipping and the people making these crossings and it is also a tricky situation for the coastguard, the lifeboat and the border force, coastguard, the lifeboat and the borderforce, who have to coastguard, the lifeboat and the border force, who have to locate these small boats and bring the people safely to shore because once the boat gets halfway across the channel, it becomes the responsibility of the british authorities. in relation to this new deal, a new deal brings new pressure on the british government to see the numbers making the crossing fall, but they are not wanting to put a figure on how much they want to see numbers come down for it to be judged a success. the foreign minister, foreign secretary, james cleverly was asked today what numbers are you looking at? he said he would not put a figure on it but he would not put a figure on it but he wanted to see those numbers falling significantly. i think there will be pressure on him, the home secretary and also the prime minister himself, because rishi
12:06 pm
sunak has said today that he wants to see the numbers come down and he is going to get a grip on the situation. he says ultimately since becoming prime minister, he has spent a large amount of his time looking at the issue of channel crossings, as well as the focus on the economy and the cost of living crisis. but i think in terms of the numbers, at the moment france is stopping around 42% of attempts to cross the channel, but authorities on both sides of the channel feel that number needs to be more in the region of 70 to 80% for it to be a real deterrent for the people smugglers who are organising these crossings. i think as well as talking about what is in this deal, it is worth talking about what is not in this deal, so there is no talk about try to turn migrants back or stop them once they have taken to the water. the french authorities will only intervene if a boat gets into difficulty in the channel. and also no talk in the agreement of any sort of returns agreement, which
12:07 pm
could see people who are brought to kent after being picked up in the channel then sent pretty much straightaway back to france or other eu countries, other safe countries they have passed through to get to they have passed through to get to the uk. that still seems some way off stopping many ways, the deal we have seen today seems more of an extension of a deal that was made last year, it is going to involve more british cash being given to the french authorities but critics are saying it is really lacking any radical solutions that is going to make a difference and make a difference any time soon. thank you, simon. i difference any time soon. thank you, simon- i spoke _ difference any time soon. thank you, simon. i spoke to _ difference any time soon. thank you, simon. i spoke to the _ difference any time soon. thank you, simon. i spoke to the conservative i simon. i spoke to the conservative mp for dover and asked her what she thought about the latest agreement. unfortunately this new deal falls far short of what is needed to tackle small boats crossing and it does not reflect the urgency or the impact of this issue in dover, kent andindeed impact of this issue in dover, kent and indeed across the country as a whole. ~ ., ., i. and indeed across the country as a whole. ~ ., ., ~' and indeed across the country as a whole. ~ ., ., ~ ., , whole. what would you like to see bein: whole. what would you like to see being done? _ whole. what would you like to see being done? i _ whole. what would you like to see being done? i have _ whole. what would you like to see being done? i have been - whole. what would you like to see being done? i have been very - whole. what would you like to see | being done? i have been very clear that i think —

12:10 pm
sunak. the issue in terms of the numbers and how they are being dealt with seems to be one of processing and how long it is taking for claims to be processed. some, not many, but some are waiting five years to have their claims process. there is a backlog of 103,000 asylum claims. what needs to be done about that as far as you are concerned? i what needs to be done about that as far as you are concerned?— far as you are concerned? i think it is very difficult _ far as you are concerned? i think it is very difficult to _ far as you are concerned? i think it is very difficult to get _ far as you are concerned? i think it is very difficult to get on _ far as you are concerned? i think it is very difficult to get on top - far as you are concerned? i think it is very difficult to get on top of - is very difficult to get on top of the processing when the numbers just keep increasing and accelerating and how many people are coming in. we have now seen over 40,000 this year, we are expecting as much as another 10,000 by the end of this year. this is overwhelmingly processing centres in dover and kent and putting incredible strain on the local resources, be that housing, education, locally, and it makes it really difficult to get on top of those processing of those numbers also busily want to get on top of
12:11 pm
the processing, then we really need to stop the boats coming on in the first place and reducing those numbers and i think this is a small boats crisis, it needs more urgent attention and action and that is what we need to see happening in france and unfortunately, this latest agreement is more of the same. it is not that step change thatis same. it is not that step change that is needed to tackle the channel crossings. let's speak to kay marsh from samphire. a human rights group supporting refugees based in dover... i completely agree that it does fall completely short of the mark. but in a completely different way. we need to be looking at this. the government is still going on with this hostile environment deterrent policy, which clearly does not work. we have had this now for 12 years and the numbers just keep
12:12 pm
increasing. we need to see it as a humanitarian crisis, we need to give people the opportunity to make their claims for asylum before they get into the water and that is the only way to stop these small boats crossing. way to stop these small boats crossinu. ~ ., , way to stop these small boats crossinu. ~ . , i. way to stop these small boats crossinu. ~ ., , ,, ., way to stop these small boats crossinu. ~ ., , ., crossing. what is your view on those government — crossing. what is your view on those government figures _ crossing. what is your view on those government figures that _ crossing. what is your view on those government figures that indicate - government figures that indicate that a large proportion of the number of migrants coming across our economic migrants? adult men coming from albania, around 60%, they say, of the migrants crossing the channel. i of the migrants crossing the channel. ., �* , , ~:: , channel. i don't believe it is 6096. i really do — channel. i don't believe it is 6096. i really do not _ channel. i don't believe it is 6096. i really do not believe _ channel. i don't believe it is 6096. i really do not believe that - channel. i don't believe it is 6096. i really do not believe that at - channel. i don't believe it is 6096. i really do not believe that at all. | i really do not believe that at all. i really do not believe that at all. i have heard the numbers of albanian people have gone but it is nowhere neara people have gone but it is nowhere near a majority. we are seeing the majority of asylum claims are found to be legitimate and people are given a form of status. if people are coming with legitimate claims for asylum, we need to look at how we do that and how we grant these claims before people need to make these journeys.

12:14 pm
latest news on the bbc news website and if you want to get in touch with me directly, you can get in touch on twitter. thank you for your company. chinese leader xijinping and us presidentjoe biden have held face to face talks ahead of the g20 summit, their first since biden entered the white house. it's hoped the meeting will ease relations that have been sticky for some time, marred by disagreements over issues ranging from taiwan to trade. the g20 summit, which is taking place in bali, is already fraught with tension over russia's invasion of ukraine. president putin isn't attending but his foreign minister, sergei lavrov is there. talk us through the top key issues. yes, i think all of the attention
12:15 pm
todayis yes, i think all of the attention today is certainly placed on that meeting that you mentioned in your introduction, the meeting between joe biden and xijingping, the chinese leader. it started at about half past five local time, it is now just gone eight o'clock start there is no sign of the two men having emerged from that room behind closed doors, where they are having a rather lengthy conversation, i think it is fair to say. it is the first time since presidentjoe biden took office that he has had a chance to meet the chinese leader face—to—face they have met before but at different points in their political careers and i think this meeting is really being seen as an opportunity for china and the us to perhaps reset their relationship. as one analyst told the bbc little earlier today, we should not see this meeting as a date, it should be seen in the context of a long and often tense relationship. but the two have a lot to talk about ahead of the meeting there was a suggestion from
12:16 pm
us officials that issues like taiwan, trade, technology, the war in ukraine, north korea, all of that would be amongst the things discussed but in the few brief comments the two leaders have made right at the start of their discussions, they talked about cooperation and not conflict. i think that will be something a lot of people at their summit will be very keen to make sure that is the status quo, that there is collaboration ran —— rather than conflict. collaboration ran -- rather than conflict. ~ , ., ., conflict. where else will attention be conflict. where else will attention he focused? _ conflict. where else will attention be focused? certainly _ conflict. where else will attention be focused? certainly i _ conflict. where else will attention be focused? certainly i think- conflict. where else will attention be focused? certainly i think a - conflict. where else will attention | be focused? certainly i think a big theme at the _ be focused? certainly i think a big theme at the 620 _ be focused? certainly i think a big theme at the 620 is _ be focused? certainly i think a big theme at the 620 is the _ be focused? certainly i think a big theme at the 620 is the rising - be focused? certainly i think a big | theme at the 620 is the rising cost theme at the g20 is the rising cost of food and fuel around the world. the concern that the global economy is heading into a really rough time over the next 18 months, issues that i am sure viewers back in the uk will be familiar with. certainly things that are on top of the mind
12:17 pm
of the british prime minister, rishi sunak, as he also attends the g20. one of the key problems for the global economy has been the fact that trying to get inflation in manageable territory, trying to get the cost of goods down, has been difficult because of course that war in ukraine has continued to affect fuel prices, as well as global food prices. i was speaking to the indonesian president, the host of the g20 summit, ten days ago and he told me how he crisscrossed the globe, meeting with ukrainian president, the russian leader, trying to convince the two to meet and have a discussion at the g20 about how to resolve some of the thorny issues between them. we don't have the russian leader appearing in person. he has sent sergei lavrov off instead. it seems highly unlikely that any resolution to the war in ukraine will be had here at the g20 but it is one of the key issues that is in the background of this entire summit.—

12:19 pm
and thursday on talktv. they are trying to force you out? not only the coach but two or three guys around the club. senior executives? yes, i felt betrayed. you think they are trying to get rid of you? honestly, i should not say that, i don't know, i don't care, but people should listen, it is true. i feel betrayed, and i felt that some people they don't want me here, not only this year, but last year, too. england's women play new zealand in the semi final of the rugby league world cup this evening... they are looking to secure a place in the finals since great britain reach that place back in 2000. england are looking confident but they know new zealand will be much tougher opponents than brazil, canada that they faced earlier in the event. the kiwis have neverfailed to reach the final, winning three times but losing out to australia in the last two additions. leeds rhinos star as in england win would be the dream.
12:20 pm
we want to win. it's a home world cup, it's not often our families see us play because it's often abroad. it's just an exciting time, everything is coming to play for this and the super league has been a massive step in the right direction for us to be to accomplish what we want and to let that trophy at the end of the comp would be out phenomenal. and that is our dream. the uk snooker championships continue in york today, with ronnie o'sullivan taking on matthew stevens in the first round. world number two neil robertson is already out though. he was beaten by qualifier joe perry, after robertson missed a crucial black in the eighth frame which gave perry back control of the table to win the match. he made no mistake, knocking the australian out of the tournament by six frames to two. action in york will resume
12:21 pm
from 1pm, live on bbc two. the bbc has been unable to verify the allegations. moscow denies its troops intentionally target civilians. the ukrainian authorities imposed an overnight curfew and have restricted travel. we are seeing pictures, videos of president zelensky on a small tour of kherson. he was in the city centre at the main square where people had been celebrating. this time he was escorted by tight security and address to the troops
12:22 pm
and also small crowds of residents that had gathered in the city centre. and he told them, we are moving forward, we are ready for peace, peace for all our country. remember that russian troops are not too far from the city square. they had retreated to the eastern bank of the river. they can still fire artillery shells to the city where president zelensky was but he said it was important for him to come to kherson, especially at this time, to stand with the people there, show them support. remember they had been under russian occupation for more than eight months. he said it was important to come there to show them that the ukrainian army was serious about taking territory away from the russians, so there was a lot of happiness, people were waving ukrainian flags, small children were there, so you could see the joy and the people there as president zelensky arrived this morning.
12:23 pm
at the moment, the focus has been on consolidation. consolidating areas that they have taken, even in kherson itself. we were hearing reports that there were still explosions, maybe artillery fire around kherson, even while president zelensky was there. some of those explosions could have been de—mining efforts because there were so many landmines and unexploded munitions around the regions and so ukrainian authorities are now focused on trying to remove those explosives, make it safe enough for people to return back. but winter is coming. they have managed to take the city but then the next few months are going to make it very difficult for ukrainian and russian forces to operate in the country. but ukraine officials have insisted that despite the winter, they will keep fighting to take territory, territory in the south, but also in the east, where you have other front lines where they are taking on the russian forces.
12:24 pm
police in istanbul have released footage of the arrest of the main suspect following the attack on sunday. the authorities have accused the kurdistan party, pkk, of being behind it. the incident is thought to have been terrorist —related and carried out by a woman. as you can see, this street right in the heart of istanbul is every bit as busy as it would normally be at this time of the day on a monday. you can see some of these people are coming to lay flowers at the scene of the attack. some of them are coming to take pictures, take videos, some of them are just the usual tourists you would find here and while the shops are closed around me, behind the camera, the shops are open and i can see someone
12:25 pm
even fixing the shattered windows on the storefront that were blown out yesterday afternoon. in the early hours of this morning, police in istanbul said that they had arrested a woman and they in fact released a video of this arrest of her being handcuffed and also of her standing flank by turkish flags, what appeared to be a bruised face, wearing a purple sweatshirt with new york written across it. they say she is a syrian, they say she is linked to the pkk and that is the direction they are looking at the moment, they do also say that they have not yet fully road out potential links with the so—called islamic state. as you can see, people are back out here but what is interesting is if you go to the between 2015 and 2017, istanbul was not as relaxed as it is now. turkey was not as relaxed as it is now because there was a campaign of violence by the pkk and by islamist militants that saw around 500 people killed in this country. and what people are concerned about
12:26 pm
because it has been quiet now fossil many years, is that a return to that level of violence could potentially be on the cards. there are elections due in turkey around aboutjune of next year and people fear that this could be a precursor to that electoral campaign. they have seen that happen before and while they have got used to a more relaxed and safer pace of life, they saw yesterday just safer pace of life, they saw yesterdayjust how safer pace of life, they saw yesterday just how quickly safer pace of life, they saw yesterdayjust how quickly things can change. yesterday just how quickly things can change-— yesterday just how quickly things can change. premarket starting a trial across _ can change. premarket starting a trial across stores _ can change. premarket starting a trial across stores in _ can change. premarket starting a trial across stores in england. - next, please! you don't see queues like this in many shops these days. it is the budget chain where baskets are filled to the brim. and where some shoppers are now spending to save. to be honest, i bought stuff
12:27 pm
to to keep me warm in the flat because it's really cold in my flat at the moment. i've got storage heaters and they cost of fortune. so i've just been upstairs and got warm jackets, like hoodies and things like that just to wear, really. just to add a bit of layer and a bit of warmth. freezing. no heating on. costs too much, so we've got our dad in a care home and stuff so we just can't afford it. we are just buying warm bits. warm bits? yeah, just wrap up nice and warm. this is the snoodie department. 0versized hoodies doing a roaring trade as temperatures drop. we've got a great selection. meet the boss of primark, ready for a busy christmas. are people trading down to primark? i think customers are looking for better value all the time. i think at primark, we offer them outstanding value. and i think we are attracting new customers as a consequence of that. we have a vintage clothing area in the store, we have cafes, barbers, nail bars,
12:28 pm
we are, i think, the new department store. but it has never had an online business. today, though, it has finally started a click and collect trial here in the north west of england. but how many more clothes do we really need? don't you think that fast, cheap fashion is going to reach a tipping point pretty soon? that it's just not sustainable. we have worked so hard and continue to work hard on ensuring we are improving the quality and the durability of her clothing. we do not want customers to buy something and then discard it. we want them to buy, love, and keep it in their wardrobe, hand it down to theirfriends. no holding back here. christmas shopping has started early in the high street. are you spending a bit less this christmas, then? probably not, no. working more. and we are looking for the best possible deals.
12:29 pm
i think this is going to be a massively promotional christmas. black friday is going to be earlier, partly because that is the retailers want to get them going, partly because the world cup is coming and retailers don't know how that is going to play out. but these people are looking for really good prices and if they don't find them, they will not be buying products. and unlike last year, there is plenty of stock retailers really need to shift. emma simpson, bbc news, manchester. on this day 100 years ago, the bbc broadcast its first ever programme. it ran its first ever radio broadcast from a london studio. the first programme was a news programme that was read twice, once fast and then again slowly, so that listeners could take notes if they wished. you

will reduce this number next year? i said last week that gripping illegal migration was an absolute priority for me, it is something i spend most of my time on outside of the economy since becoming prime minister. a also said it is not an easy problem that you can solve overnight. that is why we need to work with lots of different things. i put priority working with the french at the heart of that. without their cooperation it is hard for us to solve this problem. spoke to president macron about it, we went over further detail about that and i am pleased that as a result of that dialogue we have a new deal with the french which is going to mean 40% more patrols happening in france and for the first time they our officials are embedded in their operation. that is going to make a difference and hopefully people can see that thatis and hopefully people can see that that is the fruits of the work that i have been talking about. mr; i have been talking about. my auestion i have been talking about. my question was that can you guarantee that the numbers will fall next year? i that the numbers will fall next ear? :, ::, year? i am confident we can get the numbers down- _ year? i am confident we can get the numbers down. but _ year? i am confident we can get the numbers down. but i _ year? i am confident we can get the numbers down. but i want - year? i am confident we can get the numbers down. but i want to - numbers down. but i want to communicate to people that there

isn't one simple solution but people should be absolutely sure this is a top priority for me, in in the short time and i have been prime minister we have already seen this deal with the french and there's lots more that i'm going to do.— the french and there's lots more that i'm going to do. rishi sunak at the start of— that i'm going to do. rishi sunak at the start of the _ that i'm going to do. rishi sunak at the start of the 620 _ that i'm going to do. rishi sunak at the start of the 620 summit. - the start of the g20 summit. according to a new report by the living wage foundation says that the increase would amount to a difference of £2730 a year for a full—time worker. let's go to catherine chapman the director of the living wage foundation. thank you forjoining us. can you run through the figures in terms of what the statutory living wages and what the statutory living wages and what the voluntary living wages? thank ou. the the voluntary living wages? thank you. the statutory _ the voluntary living wages? thank you. the statutory living - the voluntary living wages? thank you. the statutory living wage - the voluntary living wages? thank you. the statutory living wage arej you. the statutory living wage are minimum living wage is £9 50 an hour. the real living wage is the only ray is calculated based on what it cost to live as tempo 90 across

the uk, 11 per 95 in london reflect the uk, 11 per 95 in london reflect the high cost of living in the capital. there at the sharp end of these price rises as we head into winter. the new research we have got out today says it's notjust winter. the new research we have got out today says it's not just food for people and their families it is also good for business local economies. we looked at the games, if one quarter ofjobs would be raised to the living wage it would deliver £1.75 billion of economic growth, through productivity games but also increased consumer spending. we know the people on lower incomes when they are more money they tend to spend it locally. it is notjust good for people in it is the right kind of growth that we want to see at the moment with higher wages leading to sustainable and resilient economies. haifa higher wages leading to sustainable and resilient economies.— and resilient economies. how many com anies and resilient economies. how many companies pay _ and resilient economies. how many companies pay the _ and resilient economies. how many companies pay the living _ and resilient economies. how many companies pay the living wage. - and resilient economies. how many companies pay the living wage. we | companies pay the living wage. we have companies pay the living wage. 9 have got nearly 12,000 companies across the uk, half a ftse100, but

also thousands of small and medium—sized firms, things like coffee shops and book firms. employees have recognised in the past couple years if you treat your people write unfairly. —— right and fairly, and if you pay people well and they're not having to worry about putting food on the table that night. they will stay with you, your recruitment and retention costs go down. there will be more motivated and productive at work. we've long known that it is good for businesses and local economies. so, it has been fantastic to see the growth in the network in the past two years for 12,000 employees. one in ten employees across the country now work for a living wage foundation. more now on the deal signed between the uk and france
12:41 pm
in an attempt to reduce the number of people crossing the english channel on small boats. more than 40,000 people have made the crossing this year —— and the additional payments from the uk to france will be spent on increased patrols and improved surveillance technology. we can talk down to a senior lecturer in law specialising in international human rights law and immigration law.— international human rights law and immigration law. welcome and thank ou for immigration law. welcome and thank you forjoining _ immigration law. welcome and thank you forjoining us- — immigration law. welcome and thank you forjoining us. from _ immigration law. welcome and thank you forjoining us. from your- you forjoining us. from your perspective, in terms of the international law. what is your view on the way this is being tackled and what your view is on how it could be tackled? :, ~ what your view is on how it could be tackled? :, ,, , :, , : what your view is on how it could be tackled? :, ~' i. , : : , tackled? thank you very much. as i understand — tackled? thank you very much. as i understand it. _ tackled? thank you very much. as i understand it, i— tackled? thank you very much. as i understand it, i haven't _ tackled? thank you very much. as i understand it, i haven't seen - tackled? thank you very much. as i understand it, i haven't seen the i understand it, i haven't seen the detail, the united kingdom government is going to be spending millions of pounds to stop people from arriving in the uk. my view is, no matter how much money and stop spend you are not going to stop people. these people are desperate for a number of reasons, if you look at the forced migration around the world, the number has doubled
12:42 pm
between 2011 and 2021. the number is likely to reach 1 between 2011 and 2021. the number is likely to reach1 million people forcibly displaced. the idea that you can stop people escaping in small boats with a small effect is ludicrous. the government needs to start thinking more imaginatively about the kind of things that are seeking to get here, most of them something like 70%, almost 70% of the ones who are travelling in small boats will eventually be accorded refugee status. why not address the problem at its root and may be for example, just an example. have offices of the uk border agency issuing work visas to people who have managed to escape from places like syria, afghanistan and iraq and even people who were travelling from my vania. why not get some work
12:43 pm
permits so they can travel here legally. the problem is not the channel, the problem is lack of safe means, safe routes to migration. we had huge labour shortages in the uk at the moment. why not address those labour shortages? anecdotally, i can tell you that people in hotels, merely afghanistan is are amongst them very highly skilled people including doctors and dentists. what are we short of? doctors and dentists. but there are all sorts of gaps in the lake of the market right across the skills spectrum, i don't like to stay on skills but across the skills spectrum right up to doctors and dentists. there are better ways of tackling this and this would also be an extraordinarily effective way of attacking the criminal gangs which are used by desperate people. just a

12:45 pm
circumvention of immigration controls in order that they can arrive in order to claim asylum. the problem with the refugee convention as that requires you to be outside of your country of origin. you can't apply for asylum for example from iraq, you have to be outside your country of origin. the problem is, the government thinks, we are going to stop people by paying more money. there was a man on, i can't remember which district in france he was on your programme this morning, who said there were 100 and kilometres of sand across france. you can never stop them, you can never pay on a policeman, you can never stop people making these dangerous crossings. the reason they are doing them is because there are no legal roots. if you operate more constructively and think, ok there are going to be lots of people wanting to come have all sorts of reasons, we can go into that if you like. why don't we,
12:46 pm
instead of tackling it by putting this tiny plaster on this gaping wound, how about we have us doctoral way of managing these flows? like that with the particular skills to apply for work weaknesses and compare. maybe they can apply for asylum with the need to as well. but that could be another solution to the asylum problem. how about we process some of those asylum seekers on behalf of the uk in order to admit them to the uk.- on behalf of the uk in order to admit them to the uk. thank you for 'oinin: us. admit them to the uk. thank you for joining us- on _ admit them to the uk. thank you for joining us- on to _ admit them to the uk. thank you for joining us. on to something - admit them to the uk. thank you for joining us. on to something a - joining us. on to something a lot lighter. how about solving a rubik�*s cube? well a so called 'speed—cubing champion' has set a new world record, by solving almost 7,000 of the rotating puzzle cubes in the space of 26 hours. 20—year—old george scholey broke
