from these other stations, from manchester, for example, the first variety, the first weather forecast, the first radio satire. and so, it is a sign that the image of london and the bbc, it was rather broader than that, and of course, that first bulletin, the billiards scores and the weather — foggy! indeed! here we are 100 years later, david, thank you very much indeed. i'm afraid we don't have the billiards scores for you in this bulletin, but we do have the weather forecast, with you in this bulletin, but we do have the weatherforecast, with nick miller. i the weather forecast, with nick miller. ., ., miller. i have got some high numbers. — miller. i have got some high numbers, ben, _ miller. i have got some high numbers, ben, there - miller. i have got some high numbers, ben, there is - miller. i have got some high numbers, ben, there is a i miller. i have got some high| numbers, ben, there is a lot miller. i have got some high i numbers, ben, there is a lot of weather on the way this week. we are going to get another remarkable 21.2 fourth matter, the highest temperature ever recorded in the uk so late in the year. the trend will be temperatures coming down gradually this week, closer to the average for the time of year, so that will feel quite different. looking at the symbols, we are going to see a bit of rain, quite a lot of it in places, with the winds picking

up it in places, with the winds picking up as well, with gales. several areas of low pressure heading our way this week. and of course, last week, into the weekend, the air from a long way south of us, follow the isobars around the low pressure in the atlantic, that is a cooler direction, which is why temperatures are heading down. 100 years ago, and today, some fog, but not much more of this as the winds pick up for the rest of the week. although it is still misty across the east of england this afternoon. some rain clearing northern ireland, very patchy, slowly moving further east. just to the east of this rain band you may see a bit of brightness. it is more likely behind it, however, this afternoon. it is still a relatively mild afternoon. tonight, we have this first area of rain, weakening as it moves east, clearly there is some heavier rain following on behind, and by morning, there could be some difficult travelling towards south wales and parts of southern england, maybe some local flooding, and gales developing

around southern and western coasts on a mild night. the rain coming into eastern areas by the morning, parts of scotland could cease in local flooding as totals mount. behind the rain, we will be brightening up in the south and west, there will be further blustery showers, and temperatures will be a little down compared with today. wednesday, very windy across the northern isles, very blustery elsewhere. the next area of low pressure feeds the next area of wet and windy weather in towards the south—west as the day goes on. wind strengthens further overnight and into thursday, around english channel coasts and north sea coasts, and on thursday, in shetland. low pressure will be around after that, with further showers. quieter by the end of the week, and the start of the weekend, before more wet and windy weather next weekend. stick and that is all from the bbc news at one, time for the news where you are.

good afternoon, it's 1.30pm and here's your latest sports news. we start with that bombshell interview with cristiano ronaldo. who has sensationally accused manchester united of trying to force him out as he says he feels betrayed. ronaldo's not played in united's last two matches because of an unspecified illness — last captaining the side in their 3—1 defeat at aston villa last weekend. ronaldo told piers morgan uncensored on talktv that he feels he's 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. new wolves managerjulen lopetegui says the club needs to spend and bring in new players as they bid for premier league survival. sitting bottom of the table, the new mamanger says "out of the darkness comes the light. this is the perfect motto for us." the club did invest around £100 million in the summer when bruno lage was in charge until he was sacked after a poor run of form. lopetegui's first match in charge will be against gillingham in the league cup after qatar. england's women play new zealand in the semi final of the rugby league world cup this evening. they're looking to secure a place in the final for the first time

since great britain reached, but lost at that stage in the inaugral competition back in 2000. england will be confident after a topping their group with three wins from three, but know new zealand will be much tougher opponents than brazil, canada and papua new guinea this game is so important to us because 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 able

to accomplish what we want and to lift that trophy at the end of the comp would be phenomenal. and that is our dream. it's only the second time they've won the event and their first since 2010. england become the first side to hold both the men's t20 and 50 over world cup titles at the same time. then mark the start to the build—up to next october 50 world cup in india which england are also the defending champions n9 of the world cup winning squad are staying in the australia for the latest series. the uk snooker championship is back under way in york. ronnie o'sullivan will be hoping to avoid the same fate as world number two neil robertson who was eliminated by qualifier joe perry yesterday. play began at 1 o'clock so they're still in the early stages.

became president. i would just give you a brief rundown on what they have been talking about. apparently they talked about their greed in the talks that nuclear weapon should never be used, including in your crane. in a statement they said that president biden and president xi reiterated that a nuclear war should never before and can never be one. also, joe biden told the chinese data that the world should encourage north korea to act responsibly and thatjoe biden raised american concerns about what he called shiner�*s coercive and aggressive actions on taiwan. the island that china claims as its territory. there have been a lot of tensions two you can men «gig-£3,545 men at z'éig�*ffff" "' ' ' ”w ' " men at :=: beginning�* ’ ”

between the two men at the beginning the 7, on today. between the two men at the beginning the 7 on today. so of the meeting earlier on today. so we'll be back there when we do have byjoe biden. the prime minister has told broadcasters at the g20 summit in bali — that there are "difficult choices ahead" on the economy — but that thursday's autumn statement would be "fair" and "compassionate". i think actually, being here reminds everyone that the challenges that we face at home are global in nature. the global economy is recovering from covid and the after—shock. there also russia's war in ukraine as a primary drive for energy prices and inflation. that is why the imf has made the point that actually, almost a third of the world's economy will be in recession. we are not alone in these challenges. i know a lot of leaders here will be talking about how wood can we make global economy resilient to rising inflation rates. we now need to take some difficult decisions but that is

in order to increase the rise in mortgage rates, get inflation down. but we will have fairness and compassion at the heart of all of those decisions. you compassion at the heart of all of those decisions.— compassion at the heart of all of those decisions. ., ., ., . ~ ., those decisions. you do acknowledge that our those decisions. you do acknowledge that your predecessor _ those decisions. you do acknowledge that your predecessor made - those decisions. you do acknowledge that your predecessor made this - that your predecessor made this harder because of the choices they made in the many budget because back on the steps of downing street i said that mistakes had been made and part of the reason i became prime minister was to address them. what we have seen now is that stability has returned to the united kingdom. that's because the expectation is that the government would take those necessary but difficult decisions to make sure we can get a grip on inflation, reduce that the people and also limit the cost of inflation rates. i want people to be assured that what the chancellor is working on is that all the decisions we make will have fairness and compassion at the heart. i am confident on thursday people will see that is what we're striving to do. you keep this tri- what we're striving to do. you keep this tri a what we're striving to do. you keep this trip a lot. _ what we're striving to do. you keep this trip a lot, not _ what we're striving to do. you keep this trip a lot, not going _ what we're striving to do. you keep this trip a lot, not going to - this trip a lot, not going to ask you collisio know your answer. you are sent you have to make harder

economic choices to have sustainability on public finances. but the fallout for all of us is that there will be hard choices for our finances, that there will be hard choices for ourfinances, aren't that there will be hard choices for our finances, aren't there? that there will be hard choices for ourfinances, aren't there? it that there will be hard choices for our finances, aren't there? it is going to be tough for everyone in the country. the going to be tough for everyone in the country-— going to be tough for everyone in the count . ., . ., .,, the country. the chancellor has said that out very — the country. the chancellor has said that out very recently. _ the country. the chancellor has said that out very recently. i _ the country. the chancellor has said that out very recently. i think - the country. the chancellor has said that out very recently. i think the i that out very recently. i think the right thing is to be honest with the country. we shouldn't pretend that there are difficult choices ahead. that is what is required to ensure that in the long term we can do what we can to improve peoples finances. interest rates piling isn't going to help anyone. inflation rising is going to help anyone. but i can assure you that what we deliver on thursday will be fair and compassionate and put us onto a path to recovery for the future. bbout to recovery for the future. about the uk french _ to recovery for the future. about the uk french deal— to recovery for the future. about the uk french deal that - to recovery for the future. about the uk french deal that was - the uk french deal that was announced today, you're making some progress on numbers crossing the channel at a record high, can you guarantee, as prime minister, that you will reduce this number next

year? i you will reduce this number next ear? ., , ~' ., you will reduce this number next ear? .,, ~' ., , , year? i said last week that gripping ille . al year? i said last week that gripping illegal migration _ year? i said last week that gripping illegal migration was _ year? i said last week that gripping illegal migration was an _ year? i said last week that gripping illegal migration was an absolute i illegal migration was an absolute priority for me. it is something i spent most of my time on outside of the economy since i became prime minister and i have also said that it is not an is a problem that you can solve overnight. we need to work on lots of different things. i have prioritise working with the french at the heart of that because without their cooperation it is hard for us to solve this problem. i spoke to president macron about this and we went over this in further detail and i am pleased that as a result of that dialogue we now have a new deal with the french witches mean that 40% more control is happening in front under the first time our officials will be embedded in their operations. hopefully people can see that that is the fruits of the work that that is the fruits of the work that i have been talking about. there is more to come and i hope people know that. the there is more to come and i hope people know that.— there is more to come and i hope people know that. the prime minister at the 620 summit. _ earlier labour leader sir keir starmer reacted to the uk france migrant deal.

i think most people will look at this and say, look there is more taxpayers cash now being spent on the problem the government has been making. this has been going on a very long time and the home secretary is said that the asylum system is broken, she is right, they broke it. yes, this is a step in the right direction but there is so much more that needs to be done. we need the national crime agency working upstream to tackle those smuggling in the first place. we desperately need much better processing of applications here. i think most people watching the sabine pretty shocked to learn that of all the people who have arrived by small boats, only li% have been processed by this government. a small step in the right direction but a much bigger challenge that the government still isn't gripping. does bigger challenge that the government still isn't gripping-—

still isn't gripping. does suella braverman _ still isn't gripping. does suella braverman really _ still isn't gripping. does suella braverman really have - still isn't gripping. does suella braverman really have a - still isn't gripping. does suella braverman really have a plan | still isn't gripping. does suellal braverman really have a plan to still isn't gripping. does suella - braverman really have a plan to turn this around? i braverman really have a plan to turn this around?— this around? i think it the most important _ this around? i think it the most important thing _ this around? i think it the most important thing is _ this around? i think it the most important thing is to _ this around? i think it the most important thing is to have - this around? i think it the most important thing is to have the i important thing is to have the national crime agency working, when i was director we worked on these operations upstream where people human trafficking. but also the desperate state of the home office and the government's response to processing applications. the government has broken the system, its only processed li% of those who have arrived by small bow in 2022. i think people would be shocked by that and would say to the government, get a grip. that and would say to the government, aet a iri -. a, ., ., government, get a grip. moving on to the autumn — government, get a grip. moving on to the autumn statement _ government, get a grip. moving on to the autumn statement we _ government, get a grip. moving on to the autumn statement we are - the autumn statement we are expecting a mixture and tax rises. apart from the windfall tax, you know your views on that, what would you be doing differently? hate that, what would you be doing differently?— that, what would you be doing differentl ? ~ ., ., , 7 differently? we would do things very differently? we would do things very differently and _ differently? we would do things very differently and i _ differently? we would do things very differently and i think— differently? we would do things very differently and i think the _ differently? we would do things very differently and i think the starting i differently and i think the starting place as i think the emotion that many people will feel going into this. here is the government saying, tough choices. but it is tough

choices for people who are being asked to mop up the mess that the government has made on the economy. billions of pounds because of their mismanagement of the economy. it's all very well saying, you will have to pay more i think a lot of people will be saying you made the mess in the first place. what you would see for a labour government is fair choices about where the money comes from. potentialfor up to choices about where the money comes from. potential for up to £50 million on axa profit taxes for oil and wind companies... oil and gas companies. there is the corporation tax that the government has moved forward quickly enough on. there are fairer choices that can be made. the big central question will be, where is the plan to grow the economy? because that is the achilles now for 12 years of this government. that is the labour — 12 years of this government. that is the labour leader _ 12 years of this government. that is the labour leader there. _ the headlines on bbc news... the uk will pay france millions of pounds more for patrols on french

beaches and increased surveillance to try and stop the number of migrants coming across the channel on small boats. the prime minister has claimed the expected tax rises and spending cuts have already stabilise financial markets. and it's been all smiles between presidentjoe biden and the chinese leader president xi despite tensions. time for a look at the stories making the news across the united kingdom. significant numbers of businesses in the region are �*facing a cliff edge, with nowhere else to turn'. that's the stark warning today as firms — especially in the hospitality sector — struggle with inflation in the wake of brexit and covid. many say they're closing for winter, others are shutting up shop for good. john henderson reports. an illustration of the hard economic

times we're all facing. yes, it's out of season, but artist thomas cogan has seen foy busier and selling paintings, how's that going? when was the last time you sold one? months ago. to be honest, it used to be a lot better. these aren't mean streets, but brexit, covid, inflation and rising energy bills are hitting some hospitality businesses where it hurts. well, it's become a bit of a perfect storm this year. it's got so bad that this celebrity chef has been forced to take drastic action at the harbour—side refuge in porthleven, a business only open two years ago. we've closed that restaurant and mothballed it for the winter, and we would also consider a sale of that property. should that be appropriate. so we have to... you know, you can't run on empty. and worryingly, it seems he's not alone. business has nothing left in the pot. there is a suggestion that 4% of businesses say

they just absolutely cannot pay their bills, their energy bills. the devon and plymouth chamber of commerce wants the government to do more to help businesses with energy costs in thursday's autumn statement. but the energy sparks being huge, isn't it? i think i think the figures are quite eye watering in terms of those four parks that you've got. they absolutely are. this year, we've seen an increase of £200,000. to counter that rise in gas and electric at four holiday parks in cornwall. managers are trying to save energy across the board. we're looking at our usage, how we use it when we use it and where we use it. if we can switch it off, we switch it off, consuming less and cutting if we can switch it off, we switch it off. consuming less and cutting expenditure on the minds of many in fowey and further afield. john henderson, bbc spotlight. new rules aimed at protecting parents from unneccesary school uniform costs are being ignored. that's what some parents have told our social affairs

reporter caroline bilton — who has heard that a growing number are turning to charities for help. oh, look at it. it's a church, but it's also home to a charity. above the congregation, there are boxes and boxes and boxes of donated school uniforms. we've got over 500 boxes full of clothes. it's just such a huge need in the city for help with the costs of school clothing. and are you seeing that need grow? definitely. this year. it's not helped by this, the need for a logo. some schools require more than others. 14 to 15 polo shirts. mum of four, louise, who also volunteers for this charity, knows only too well the pressures that are on parents. there are several schools in this area that want particular material style, fit length, and these are all the uniform,

including trousers and skirts. has to have the tiny little logo on it to say the school approved, but this should have changed by now. in september, the government announced new legally binding rules that said branded items should be kept to a minimum and schools should ensure that uniforms are affordable. so the government's changed the rules. you laughed at me when i said that. yeah, because the schools, although they say they're doing it for the pupils, their restrictions, particularly in high school, are getting worse and worse. so many schools have the pe kits in house colours. and it's it'sjust it's crazy. it's down to how these rules are interpreted. some expect more than others. and it's a frustration for this charity, which is continuously trying to keep up with growing demand. we're not really seeing any schools that we noticed simplifying their uniform or making it particularly much cheaper.

in fact, some schools we've seen increase the number of logo items. this charity says it needs more donations, more volunteers, but also an understanding from schools of the impact that their school uniform policies are having on families in need. caroline bilton, bbc north hull. can you solve a rubik's cube? a so—called �*speed—cubing champion' has set a new world record, by solving almost 7,000 cubes in the space of 2a hours. 20—year—old george scholey broke the previous record last week. he spoke to my colleague joanna gosling earlier about how he does it you can't just line

to be heavy at a time. winds strengthened, gates at time. instead of that very mild air, the air is coming from the west in the atlantic into us. that does mean temperatures are heading down. much closer to what we expect for this time of year. it is going to feel cooler. 21 degrees yesterday and by thursday or friday 11 or 10 celsius. we have some rain out there this afternoon into western scotland, nudging from wales towards southern england. just to the east of that rain banned a few brighter skies to be had. the further east you are in scotland and england, many stays grey and misty. in cornwall and devon brightening up. it is still on the mild side out there today. the first area of rain edging and heavy rain southern england, scotland and strengthening winds too. gales developing. enough rain out of this to bring

some may be local flooding issues and difficult travel conditions for parts of south wales and southern england. as the rain advances, we began dry in the north—east, into scotland, aberdeen could well see some flooding issues out of the rain is at last longest during tuesday. behind it though, many places brighten up. it will stay windy out there. much stronger winds as well. as we end wednesday and going into thursday, developing quite stormy into the northern isles from low pressure and showers around it. fewer showers, brighter weather and lighter winds as we see out the week on friday. as the winds drop out we will see some frost on saturday morning.

as it goes on, the return of wet and windy weather. this is bbc news. the headlines... britain will pay france millions more for increased patrols on french beaches and improved surveillance. on the uk coastline, on the french coastline, is absolutely integral. the prime minister claims expected tax rises and spending cuts have already stabilised financial markets. all smiles between president biden and the chinese leader xi jinping, despite the tensions between their nations. of russian troops.
