i'm not going to comment on all this speculation. we've got a project, we've got spades in the ground, and we're getting on with it, but it's right to focus on levelling up. the united states has narrowly avoided a government shutdown after congress approved a short—term funding bill. hello, i'm ben mundy. welcome along. at least 11 people have been killed in a fire at a nightclub in southeastern spain. firefighters were called out to tackle the blaze in the city of atalayas, in the murcia region. the blaze broke out in the popular teatre nightclub, in the atalayas area, at around 6am local time. emergency services are looking for people who are missing and were in the premises at the time. a number of people are being treated in hospitalfor smoke inhalation. it is not clear what caused the fire, which broke out when the club was still busy. live now to our reporter

to change things. i have a good sense of what the british people's priorities are. i'm going to set about doing those. i want to change things, i am absolutely here to change our country for the better. i think that means you have to do politics differently. and that is what you have seen from me before and that's what you're going to keep seeing. i'm going to lead this country in a different way and ensure that we get our country on a brighter future. but some in the party have already decided what change they want to see — lower taxes. the former prime minister liz truss was among 30 mps who yesterday pledged not to vote for any further rises. this morning, a cabinet minister added his weight to calls for tax cuts. should there be a reduction in the tax burden on individuals before the next election? are we talking the next year? are we talking three years? or are we talking five years? yes, i would like to see the tax burden reducedj before the next election. but mr sunak is not making any promises. your close colleague michael gove this morning has said that

you should commit to cutting taxes for working people before the next election. will you make that commitment? as i said, the best tax cut that we can give working people... so you won't? ..is to halve inflation. so you won't make that commitment right now? i'm a conservative. i want to cut taxes, but you asked me about making changes. change may be difficult, but i believe the country wants change, and i'm going to do things differently to bring about that change. and sitting in a studio in salford just up the road, he again refused to commit to bringing high—speed trains to manchester. look, there's already spades in the ground on hs2 and we're getting on with delivering... that's not my question. yes or no, is it coming here? i'm not going to comment on all this speculation. we've got a project. we've got spades in the ground and we're getting on with it. the conference itself is being held in a former railway station. the absence of firm commitments on manchester's high—speed future, or lower taxes, will put pressure on rishi sunak to set out what he will do, in what may be his last conference before a general election. helen catt, bbc news, manchester. we are going to stay on this.

bbc political correspondent, nick eardley is at the conference and joins me now. good afternoon. an interesting start to the conference. there are signs all over this place that rishi sunak is going to make long—term decisions for a brighterfuture. there is still that question over hs2, no firm commitments on that or the tax calls. i get the impression that he is not planning to have any anytime soon. although he was trying to get on the front foot about the agenda for this conference, he has got off to a bad start kind of with a bit of a sense that he is on the back foot and being pressured into things by his backbenchers. were going to train clear some of it up because we've got a governor minister here. good afternoon to you. you are a transport minister, can you clear up at the prime minister did not want

for politics at the university of virginia. many thanks for joining many thanks forjoining us. signed minutes before a deadline. it sounds dramatic. were you expecting it? i think everybody was surprised that they managed to get it together at they managed to get it together at the last moment, but only for 45 days. we will probably be right back here talking about the same issues right before the end of november or thanksgiving. haifa right before the end of november or thanksgiving-_ thanksgiving. how has this been averted? how — thanksgiving. how has this been averted? how did _ thanksgiving. how has this been averted? how did they _ thanksgiving. how has this been averted? how did they come - thanksgiving. how has this been averted? how did they come to l thanksgiving. how has this been i averted? how did they come to this resolution? by, averted? how did they come to this resolution? �* ., ., averted? how did they come to this resolution?— resolution? a lot of moderate republicans. _ resolution? a lot of moderate republicans, there _ resolution? a lot of moderate republicans, there are - resolution? a lot of moderate republicans, there are 18 - resolution? a lot of moderate republicans, there are 18 of. resolution? a lot of moderate - republicans, there are 18 of them in the house of representatives who represent districts that were won by joe biden in the presidential contest in 2020 and for abel —— and for them to be reelected, there going to have to attract approximately the same number of democrats and independents that got last time. shutting down the government and shutting off paid to all of our military families, to air

is a victory for vladimir putin, for donald trump who supports vladimir putin and vice versa. i can tell you for sure that right now you have senior democrats and republicans working on a way to get ukraine back into the aid package. it might have to come in late november when this comes up again. i think it will be done. larry sa bato, thanks. as you said, we will probably be talking about this in 45 days. in the last few minutes we have had this in from republican hardliners saying the move to oust the us house speaker over the shut down deal. this story is very much moving. we will bring you more on that as soon as we get it. were going to pause now for the sport. you ferris is here.

europe are heading... if not marching... towards regaining the ryder cup on the final day in rome. the home team need four points from the 12 singles on sunday and the usa are making them earn them with a battling display. europe have their first point viktor hovland has beaten collin morikawa and they're currently up in three with the usa leading in six. usa needs 1a to retain and no team has come back from five points down before the singles. things are very much up in the air. the two players involved in saturday night's controversy both on the 18th green and the marco simone club car park afterwards are both leading their singles matches. and our correspondent in rome andy swiss says both patrick cantlay and rory mcilroy

appear to have put it behind them. there was a bit of a route between rory mcelroy and patrick cantlay's caddy on the 18th green and then in the car park at the end of play yesterday, we saw a rory mcelroy angry and gesticulating towards members of the american back room team. he had to be gently steered away from that. not much sign of a hangover. patrick is very much the pantomime villain as far as the european fans are concerned. he has gotten many boos. he is leading very well, patrick cantlay. and rory mcilory has responded impressively. he is leaving his match. for the two players at the centre it does not to have affected their play rather motivated them. we get to get to the business end of things, so who knows, we might see a little bit of spice over the next few hours. that was andy in — spice over the next few hours. that was andy in rome. _

just one game in the premier league today and it involves two mid table teams, but with an interesting prize on offer. nottingham forest are taking on brentford knowing that the winner will go into the top half and above the under—performing manchester united. they have had about 16 minutes already and it is still goalless. jorge martin capped a fantastic weekend with victory in a rain—affected japanese motogp. the spaniard set a new lap record on the motegi circuit to qualify in pole position and also won saturday's sprint race. and he was leading sunday's grand prixfor his team pramac racing when it was red—flagged at half—distance because of rain, moving to within three points of ducati's championship leader francesco bagnaia, who was second. honda's marc marquez was third. australia could have been knocked out of the rugby world cup on saturday, but after rivals fiji didn't provide the bonus point win that would have sent the wallabies home, australia can maintain their slim hopes of making the quarterfinals themselves later. they'll be expected to beat

portugal comfortably, but even that could be postponing the inevitable for the two time winners. after that match, the defending champions south africa are up against tonga. a win would set them on course for the quarterfinals, but tonga still have a chance if they can pull off an unlikely victory. saul �*canelo' alvarez is still undisputed world super—middleweight champion after beating jermell charlo. the mexican knocked charlo down in the seventh round on the way to a unanimous points win over the american in las vegas. cruiserweight jay opetaia retained his ibf and ring magazine titles. the australian beat britain'sjordan thompson in the fourth round at wembley arena. and another british fighter is a world champion after taking the ibo lightweight title in a unanimous points win over mexico's magali rodriguez at london's york hall. there is much more on our website. you can keep across the football and of course the golf. that is all from

us now. turkey's government says that two people have tried to carry out a bomb attack near the parliament building in the capital, ankara. the interior minister said one blew himself up and the other was killed by police. two officers were slightly injured. let's get the latest from berza shimsek from the bbc turkish service. the president of turkey says terrorists will never achieve their aims. any more from him this afternoon? he aims. any more from him this afternoon?— aims. any more from him this afternoon? , ., ., , afternoon? he spoke at the opening session of parliament _ afternoon? he spoke at the opening session of parliament because - afternoon? he spoke at the opening | session of parliament because today it coincided this attack, turkish parliament has resumed its sessions. it is the new legislative year. erdogan basically said they will not be able to reach their aims and he said these are the last days of the terror organisations. he did not name any group. so we do not know

who carried out the attack. no group has claimed responsibility and interior minister has pointed out that they have been fighting against drug trafficking and organised crime and he stressed those. but we do not know who carried out the attack. the 0 enin: know who carried out the attack. the opening of the parliamentary session, sold the city and the parliament, a few hours on, how are they? parliament, a few hours on, how are the ? . . parliament, a few hours on, how are the ? ., ., , , parliament, a few hours on, how are the ? ., ., ,, ., they? the area is still cordoned off. the parliamentarian - they? the area is still cordoned | off. the parliamentarian session they? the area is still cordoned - off. the parliamentarian session has not been cancelled. obviously the situation is tense. those are the things i can say. situation is tense. those are the things i can say-— situation is tense. those are the things i can say. ok, thank you so much. vast crowds of opposition supporters are rallying in warsaw ahead of parliamentary elections

later this month. the opposition leader, donald tusk, called the march a breakthrough in poland's history, but his party is still trailing in the opinion polls. it is trying to stop the right—wing law and justice party from winning an unprecedented third term, saying the government is endangering the democratic gains of the past three decades. the right—wing party has accused the opposition of being unpatriotic. the bbc�*s eastern europe correspondant sarah rainsford is in warsaw. huge, huge march through the centre of warsaw. you can see it all around me. the crowd — enormous. lots and lots and lots of polish flags in both directions, all the way up and down this street. people have come with their children, they brought their pets, lots of them wearing red and white ribbons as well, the colours of poland, because they are portraying this is a patriotic march, a march for poland and for poland's future. they've labelled it the march of a million hearts, and donald tusk, the opposition leader, is right at the front of this vast march through the city, and he is calling this a vote about specifically poland's future.

he has been sending the message very clearly throughout this election campaign that it is democracy itself that is in danger here in poland, that its basic fundamental principles are being eroded by this government and it is time for the opposition to step up and to take over. now, of course, pis the ruling law and justice party has a lot of support in the country, particularly in the countryside, particularly amongst rural and conservative voters. this opposition, though, believes that fundamental things like the rule of law, the freedom of the media are at stake here, and those are the things they are coming out to vote for. just talking to people, they are saying it is a vote for the future, and there is a lot of children here as i said, and they are saying it is for them as well. they are also talking about this government to being a danger to the eu future of poland. and in fact, donald tusk himself has said that pis, the ruling party, wants to take poland out of the eu, and the precisely if it carries on the way it is going, that is what will happen.

so, it is being seen as a critical election. the opposition saying the most important election, in fact, since 1989, the beginning of democracy in this country at the end of communism here. that was our correspondent reporting from warsaw. that was our correspondent reporting from warsaw. slovakia's liberal president has snubbed the populist winner of the general election, by failing to congratulate him. instead, president zuzana caputova issued a statement saying the winner bore the greatest responsibility for future developments. the leader of the smer party, robert fico, who could become prime minister for the fourth time, says he'll stop sending military aid to ukraine. president caputova will not be seeking reelection, blaming a smear campaign by robert fico and the smer, who claim she's an agent of washington and the financier george soros. new trading rules for northern ireland are coming into force today as part of the deal between the uk and the eu earlier this year. the windsor framework is designed to ease the movement

of goods from great britain. the democratic unionist party, is continuing to boycott devolved government in northern ireland in protest at the framework. our ireland correspondent chris page reports. brexit has been a challenging course to navigate. the irish sea became a trade border. the fallout for business and politics has been anything but calm. beeping. the changes coming in today have a particularly big effect on the food sector. this wholesale company makes deliveries to 5,000 customers every week. at least this gives us a level of certainty, but it's not without its difficulties. we have 180 gb suppliers and so that means new paperwork, explaining new systems. the previous arrangement, known as the northern ireland protocol, was designed to avoid checkpoints on the land border with the irish republic. northern ireland, in effect,

remains in the eu single market, so goods arriving from the rest of the uk were inspected to ensure they were in line with eu rules. under the windsor framework, there's now a red line for products which will travel onwards into the republic of ireland. they'll still have routine inspections, but there'll be a green lane for goods which are staying in northern ireland. they'll have minimal checks. i think if you compare it to pre—brexit, it is burdensome. if you compare it to the northern ireland protocol, it's less burdensome. but what businesses are very focused on is making this work, finding practical solutions with government to ensure the smooth flow of trade from gb to ni while also meeting the eu requirements around protection of the single market. the issues of trade, borders and checks are profoundly political here. rishi sunak hopes the windsor framework will pave the way for the return of the devolved

government a year—and—a—half after it collapsed. the democratic unionist party is blocking the formation of a power sharing coalition at stormont. it says the trade border with great britain has been threatening northern ireland's place in the uk. this month will be a critical time if devolution is to be restored. chris page, bbc news, belfast. there will be more on that story and the others on the bbc news website today. do stay with us here on bbc news. good afternoon some lovely sunshine north of our weather front, this was taken in northern ireland. north of this weather front, which taken in northern ireland. north of this weatherfront, which is bringing quite a bit of rain. it's
