hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are baroness ros altmann, who's the former pensions minister under david cameron's conservative government, and kevin schofield, the political editor at huffpost uk. tomorrow's front pages, starting with, the autumn statement dominates the front pages. the daily telegraph's take: "the rhetoric of osbborne,

with the policies of gordon brown." "carnage" cries the mirror, which says millions to feel deep pain after what the paper describes as a "tory hell" budget. the metro plays on harold macmillan�*s famous phrase to deliver its judgement on the chancellor's speech. another sombre headline in the ft. it says the chancellor's main aim was to reassure the markets after the "chaos" of his predecessor's mini budget. the times goes for a similar headline, with a picture of the chancellor on a visit to a school. "one of the most punishing budgets in modern history" is the mail's sobering verdict forjeremy hunt. and another bleak verdict in the guardian — which says britons are facing

the "biggest hit to living standards on record". the express views that story rather differently — choosing to highlight its campaign to secure the pensions "triple lock" so, let's begin. the telegraph front page now, kevin, the rhetoric of the policies, it is staggering, isn't it? looking at the welfare bill under tory government rising almost 90 billion. yes, i believe those were the more positive _ yes, i believe those were the more positive aspects of the home statement and benefits and pensions by inflation in keeping the triple walk on— by inflation in keeping the triple walk on pensions but, more than balanced — walk on pensions but, more than balanced out by the fact that the rest of— balanced out by the fact that the rest of the news was fairly grim in terms _ rest of the news was fairly grim in terms of— rest of the news was fairly grim in

increase _ very concerned, particularly by the increase in— very concerned, particularly by the increase in taxation and most certainly _ increase in taxation and most certainly do not support. absolutely. and restoring fiscal credibility. after the recent liz truss experience, it was absolutely crucial that there were no surprises in this budget and that it was delivered to impress on the markets that the government is committed to sound money because that is really rattled the investors in the international confidence and the running of the economy by our government. and it was crucialfor the chancellor to speak in terms of fiscal responsibility and also rishi sunak admitted absolutely clear that he would be judged sunak admitted absolutely clear that he would bejudged by sunak admitted absolutely clear that he would be judged by the fairness of this budget and looking after the most vulnerable and that is why we

ended up with this strange combination for conservatives and at the moment, looking like the right decision given the circumstances we are finding ourselves and. torah sunporting _ are finding ourselves and. torah sopporting papers. _ are finding ourselves and. torah supporting papers, the - are finding ourselves and. torah supporting papers, the politics, | are finding ourselves and. torah supporting papers, the politics, is it really that rishi sunak who has been talking about the fairy tales of what liz truss was promising and also the spending of borisjohnson before him as well. the chickens are coming home to roost and this was inevitable. ., , , ., , inevitable. perhaps it was interesting _ inevitable. perhaps it was interesting that _ inevitable. perhaps it was interesting that jeremy i inevitable. perhaps it was i interesting that jeremy hunt inevitable. perhaps it was - interesting that jeremy hunt was very reluctant to lay any of the blame at — very reluctant to lay any of the blame at the door of liz truss. like their— blame at the door of liz truss. like their trend — blame at the door of liz truss. like theirtrend in— blame at the door of liz truss. like theirtrend in air blame at the door of liz truss. like their trend in air pressure at the liz truss— their trend in air pressure at the liz truss kwasi kwarteng experiment

the universal credit, there is- to the job market. and because of the universal credit, there is a - the universal credit, there is a very high marginal tax rate for the very high marginal tax rate for the very lowest earners and rather counterintuitive and looking towards encouraging people who need to work more and at the end of the day, the daily mail is never particularly warmed to rishi sunak and it knows that nobody really wants to pay more tax. every paper has got to have a pretty negative headline basically saying we do not want to pay more tax, it's not fair that we are paying more tax, but, we'vejust come out of the pandemic, we've got a massive inflation problem and we have got a fiscal whole partly created or self—inflicted, if you like, by the government. nevertheless, the daily mail is hardly likely to submit the fact

that any government is putting out taxes and particularly, at a time when the daily mail was calling for the opposite policy is use of said. carnage. that is the banner headline for them. joblessness to rise, house prices to fall. and they sure any blame. with the mirror and others of not picked up the mirror and others of not picked up is that fuel duty is going be lifted, visited? fuel duty will rise next year by a significant amount, raising several billions and that is going to calls for people who rely on their vehicles to get around. people who are driving them for the

here we are in 2022 minutes still not happened. it was meant to start next year once again it's been delayed. but the real issue here, i think is that the government and preps the media are trying to paint is bleak the possible because everyone who is looking ahead and thinking about the 2024 election will be trying to find a way in which there can be some positive spin put on the situation as we go into 2024 and so, if everything is supposed to be dreadfully bleak, as is being paid enough for the next two years, one year, things start to look lot better, that would be a better backdrop for papers like the daily mail in the telegraph to

support them. daily mail in the telegraph to support them-— daily mail in the telegraph to support them. daily mail in the telegraph to su--ort them. ., , support them. that could well be the case that is a — support them. that could well be the case that is a very _ support them. that could well be the case that is a very optimistic, - support them. that could well be the case that is a very optimistic, if - case that is a very optimistic, if you look— case that is a very optimistic, if you look at— case that is a very optimistic, if you look at the forecast we are in today— you look at the forecast we are in today as — you look at the forecast we are in today as well, we're looking at this and overseeing quite a lot economic difficulties— and overseeing quite a lot economic difficulties in the run—up to the election— difficulties in the run—up to the election but the conservative, to try to _ election but the conservative, to try to get — election but the conservative, to try to get more out of the way now and then— try to get more out of the way now and then offering a more optimistic outlook~ _ pensions and the daily express has victory, and saying they have the 10.1% state pensions increase. ltrefoil 10.1% state pensions increase. well done, 10.1% state pensions increase. well done. express _ 10.1% state pensions increase. well done, express and _ 10.1% state pensions increase. all done, express and this is the only paper with a positive headline. it is the right decision, without question. i have been shocked that there was even talk of not honouring

there was even talk of not honouring the inflation increase for next year for pensioners and the express ran a campaign and really worked hard on getting this sorted and it looks like the government has bowed to the pressure but in addition to that, the government has increased, the pension credit and universal credit and other benefits as well in line with inflation and getting the full 10.1% rise were there been rumours that they might decide not to do that they might decide not to do that and that would have been a real betrayal in the opposite of compassionate conservatism and especially in the cost—of—living crisis and well done to the express and well done to the government for also doing the right thing, i think. let's go back to the telegraph. i'v e i've heard several times that he's not allowed to enter cartoon

competitions because he winds them. a nice touch from him, i think we can get a focus on the cartoon. he alwa s can get a focus on the cartoon. he always does well, taking two stories and combining them in one humorous cartoons. _ and combining them in one humorous cartoons, guy watching the cartoons much _ cartoons, guy watching the cartoons much in _ cartoons, guy watching the cartoons much in the — cartoons, guy watching the cartoons much in the statement and says look on the _ much in the statement and says look on the bright side, or the bet will prepare _ on the bright side, or the bet will prepare you for the bitter disappointment of the world cup. obviously in england supporter, to hear my— obviously in england supporter, to hear my accent, i do not have a team _ hear my accent, i do not have a team, im— hear my accent, i do not have a team, i'm scottish. and if it seems to be suggesting that england has a history— to be suggesting that england has a history of— to be suggesting that england has a history of end of not winning and that's— history of end of not winning and that's probably what he's getting at and as— that's probably what he's getting at and as i_ that's probably what he's getting at and as i say, as a scotland fan, i am not— and as i say, as a scotland fan, i am not on— and as i say, as a scotland fan, i am not on very strong ground of talking _ am not on very strong ground of talking about other teams feeling in football— talking about other teams feeling in football competitions. n0, talking about other teams feeling in football competitions.— football competitions. no, but you couldt .

looking at the ways in which the british team can show support for equal rights and they've had no reply from fifa, fw fest is kept saying, let's focus on the football and not anything else. but the england team, to their credit, it is really important issue and other european countries too. so, what this is saying is that the england team is trying to ensure that it itself looks after migrant workers' rights and also, on the day of the first match, they will be wearing, i believe, the one love rainbow armband, which shows support for equal rights and there is a possibility that there could be big fines having to be paid because this is supposed to have permission.

nevertheless, they might go ahead. fifa has been ducking out of some of theissues fifa has been ducking out of some of the issues that are really important and a lot of people have been uncomfortable with the location of the world cup and quite frankly, as far as i'm concerned, i do believe that they could separate politics and sport, but all credit to the faa in the england team for standing up for human rights, equal rights in line with our beliefs.— line with our beliefs. what you think. it was _ line with our beliefs. what you think. it was james _ line with our beliefs. what you think. it was james sing - line with our beliefs. what you think. it was james sing the i think. it was james sing the football fans should respect local cultures. ., ., ., ., cultures. yet, he got a lot of criticism for _ cultures. yet, he got a lot of criticism for that _ cultures. yet, he got a lot of criticism for that and - cultures. yet, he got a lot ofj criticism for that and clearly, cultures. yet, he got a lot of- criticism for that and clearly, i'm not sure — criticism for that and clearly, i'm not sure if— criticism for that and clearly, i'm not sure if you are an lgbt supporter— not sure if you are an lgbt supporter and you go to a country where — supporter and you go to a country where i— supporter and you go to a country where i display affection to someone of the _ where i display affection to someone of the same sex, you may will be arrested — of the same sex, you may will be arrested for — of the same sex, you may will be arrested for it. i'm not sure they can compromise notes in a situation

again tomorrow evening with the daily mirror columnist, susie boniface, and martin bentham, who's the home affairs editor at the evening standard.dojoin us then if you can but for now, goodnight. hello there, this is your update from the bbc sport centre. the 2022 world cup starts in qatar on sunday with both england and wales continuing their preperations in the middle east today. james maddison didn't train with his england team—mates in qatar earlier, however, the leicester midfielder is still nursing a slight injury. he was involved as the squad met some migrant workers in an event organised by fifa, having trained in the sweltering midday sun at their al wakrah training base. defender conor coady is relishing the prospect of the tournament whether he plays or not. coady was also asked about the controversies surrounding hosting the tournament in qatar.

notably the country's human rights record, treatment of migrant workers and lgbtq+ laws. we've got a real mature group, i think we've got a good group who want to tell people is much as they can. people as much as they can. and first and foremost, it's coming here to win game and make sure that help the country go as far as we can, but if it's a bit on top of that, we are privileged to be in the position that we are in the and if we can provide this, we will do our best to do that. i think the boys are here to focus on football and that's most important thing to take our country as far as we can. like i said, i think we've got such a mature group of players how do as much to help as much as they possibly can. the football association's chief executive — mark bullingham— has denied gareth southgate excluded brentford striker ivan toney from the england squad due to betting charges.

yesterday toney was charged with more than 200 alleged breaches of betting rules by the fa. the 26—year—old admitted last week that he was assisting the fa with its investigation into historic breaking of gambling rules. he has until november the 24th to provide a response. bullingham told our sports editor dan roan that they hadn't told southgate not to pick toney. no, idid no, i did not say that, he was absolutely available for selection and is not chosen on for grounds. do you have a problem with gambling cos this is the second high—profile player to be charged as of this high—profile player to be charged as and we do not know the outcome of this process, but do we have an issue with this? i think the rules are there and very clearly that a small number of cases and will look to enforce the rules where they are broken, if they have been broken. wales moved their first full training session back today, to cope with the heat in qatar. they delayed the session at their al—sadd base in doha, due to high temperatures

of over 30 degrees surprising the squad. wales take on usa in their opening match on monday — and defender ethan ampadu says they can't wait to get started. we've settled well and we have real good spirit and excitement amongst the group. and it's really help with that. yeah, we are all very excited for what is ahead of us. senegalforward sadio mane has been ruled out of the world cup. he requires surgery on a knee injury sustained playing for bayern munich. on tuesday, senegal�*s football federation said mane would miss their "first games" at the tournament. but a further mri scan showed surgery is needed. senegal start their world cup campaign against the netherlands on monday. with games against hosts qatar and ecuador to follow. fifa president gianni infantino will be re—elected unopposed for a third four—year term next march. he received the backing of 200 associations worldwide. but the german football association said on wednesday they would not support infantino and questioned fifa's commitment to human rights. the swiss—italian has been heavily criticised for his closeness to russian president vladimir putin around the 2018 world cup, and for his recent call for countries to �*focus on football', rather than scrutinise qatar's

human rights record. shaun murphy staged a stunning fightback to beat judd trump by 6 frames to 5 and reach the quarter—finals of the uk snooker championship in york. murphy looked on the way out at 5 frames to three down, but then roared back to take the next three, to reach the last eight in york. he went into the match suffering with neck and back pain. earlier, ding junhui saw off the welshmanjamie clarke on the other table. it was relatively straight forward stuff for the chinese player, as he won by 6 frames to one, the all england club will relax its all white clothing rule to allow female players at wimbledon to wear dark—coloured undershorts from next year. it'll be relieving a "potential source of anxiety" for players on their period. britain's heather watson and former olympic champion monica puig previously spoke out the "mental stress" of having to wear white and the impact periods can have on performance. discussions took place

with the wta, clothing manufacturers and medical teams. max verstappen says some of the reaction to the red bull team orders controversy, has been "unacceptable" and "disgusting", the world champion refused red bull's order to let his team—mate sergio perez through on the final lap of last weekend's sao paulo grand prix, to gain points in his fight for second in the championship. all the things that i have read are pretty disgusting. and also, even more than that, they started attacking my family, threatening my sister, my mum, my girlfriend, my dad. and for me, that goes way too far. while you don't even have the facts of what actually was going on and that definitely has to stop. if you have a problem with me, that's fine. do not go after my family because that is unacceptable. and have a look at this. double tumbling success for great britain, at the trampoline gymnastics world championships in bulgaria. the women's team were the first to win gold —

as megan kealy sealed victory with their final run — securing gold for shanice davidson, comfort yeates and jessica brain too. and then just an hour later — the men's team followed suit — 17—year—old ramarni levena — holding his nerve to secure the title, alongsidejaydon paddock, kristof willerton and lewis westwood. that's all the sport for now. you can find more on all those stories hello. we've seen plenty more heavy rain over the past 24 hours or so, still several flood warnings in force. we'll see more rain in the north and east during friday, particularly for eastern scotland, where there's an amber warning of that heavy rain from the met office valid until 3 o'clock. further south, little bit of cloud and patchy rain here and there, but clearest and driest weather for southern england, wales and later on, for northern ireland, too. top temperatures around 9—12 degrees on friday, so it's feeling a little bit cooler than it has done of late.

we've still got this lingering cloud and rain in the east as we head through into saturday morning, clearer skies towards the west — it's here we're likely to see a little bit of frost, perhaps the odd fog patch to start your weekend, too. during saturday, a battle of this front approaching from the west and this weak affair moving its way in from the east. in between, there should be a bit of dry and bright weather for many of us, but to the far east and west, you are likely to see some cloud and, at times, some outbreaks of rain. and it's been feeling a little cooler than it has done recently — top temperatures on saturday only 7—12 degrees. bye— bye.
