this is bbc news. the headlines. the uk supreme court rules the government's flagship plan to send asylum seekers to rwanda is �*unlawful�*. rishi sunak says the government will look to sign an improved deal with rwanda. we'll be live in downing street as he holds a press conference. the united nations humanitarian chief has said what he called the carnage in gaza must not be allowed to continue. martin griffiths said the world was watching new levels

of horror every day, including hospitals underfire and an entire population deprived of the basic means of survival. as soon as the news conference starts, we will return to it. time for a look at the business news now with ben thompson. we begin in the us, where world leaders have been arriving in san francisco for the ongoing summit of the asia pacific economic co—operation, orapec. but all eyes will be on the high stakes meeting between us presidentjoe biden and his chinese counterpart, xijinping. the leaders of the world's two biggest economies have a lot to discuss — including their ongoing disputes over trade, technology, taiwan and the drug fentanyl. for more on this joining

me now is drjie yu, senior research fellow on china at the think tank chatham house. thanks for being with us on the programme, and i'm looking up the agenda and there are just four hours set aside for the meeting of the two world leaders. the white house already playing down expectations of what they may achieve but this is an important meeting nonetheless and what will they be discussing or talking about?— what will they be discussing or talkin: about? , ., , , . talking about? obviously the white house has played _ talking about? obviously the white house has played down _ talking about? obviously the white house has played down the - house has played down the expectation and really from the chinese side, the key word is stability. obviously both sides want to achieve that sense of stability to achieve that sense of stability to prevent the relations to go into a downward spiral. given that the news mentioned regarding the thorny issues from technology to tie one, and most fundamental issues on those, there's very little inch that either side can give away whereas on

4:35 pm
official figures show the rate at which prices are rising was 4.6% in the year to october. in november last year it was io.7%. after that the prime minister pledged to halve the rate and rishi sunak says today's figure means he has delivered on his pledge. the labour opposition say it's not the time for the government to be "popping champagne corks." our chief economics correspondent dharshini david has more. it's the very factor that turned up the heat on inflation, wholesale gas prices, which caused it to drop last month after a cut in the domestic energy price cap. news to warm the chancellor's heart. there's lots more work to do. we still have to bring inflation down to its target level of 2%. but now we are beginning to win the battle against inflation. we can move to the next part of our economic plan, which is the long term growth of the british economy. here at the treasury, they'll be cheering the fact that inflation fell to 4.6%, allowing the government
4:36 pm
to say its pledge to halve that rate this year has been met. but it still means many items are getting more expensive and the work to bring down that inflation rate hasn't happened so much here...as here. the independent bank of england raising interest rates 14 times, increasing mortgage repayments by over £10 billion, so dampening spending and prices of non—essentials. and even more of the action has happened away from here, on global commodity prices, determining energy, food costs, wherever those may hail from. across the country in milford haven in pembrokeshire, many of those higher costs are still leaving a bitter aftertaste. food costs 10% more than a year ago. eating out is almost 8% dearer. with everything going up, with a rise of the gas, electric, it's just really hard.
4:37 pm
we're getting by, to be honest. its customers, too, are still feeling the squeeze, with many prices still climbing. it doesn't feel like things have come down. a lot of things have gone up, car insurance, the council tax. we're going through a lot more gas and electricity, even though we're trying to use less. we're reducing the amount of time that we might have the heat- on, if we put it on at all. there may not be much more relief soon. bills are not as high as they were last winter by some significant margin, particularly when you take into account government support. but compared to what people were paying two, three, four years ago, it will still feel a lot higher. well, of course, it's welcome that inflation has come down from record highs. but the truth is, during the course of this parliament, the cost of living crisis has hit hard for working families.
4:38 pm
last month may have served up lower inflation, but prices are still rising faster than in many other rich countries and outpacing many people's incomes. conquering this cost of living crisis isn't quite in the bag yet. in other news... us retail sales dropped by 0.1% in october to 2.5% on the year. the first decline since march comes on the back of an increase in september but still comes in slightly better than many predicted. falling retail sales and easing inflation can be seen as signs the economy is cooling after strong growth over the summer. the french train maker alstom has announced plans to cut 1,500 jobs worldwide as the crisis—hit group seeks to slash its sizeable debt. the move sent shares in the world's number two rail company lower. alstom posted last month a negative cash flow of 1.15 billion euros in the first half of its fiscal year, raising concerns about its financial health.

after decades at the helm of newscorp, media titan rupert murdoch will this week officially hand over control of his media empire to his son lachlan. lachlan will inherit the titles of chair of fox corp, fox's broadcast arm, and news corp., which publishes newspapers and books. but he also inherits a slew of challenges, including a lawsuit by another voting technology company, and a group of pension funds. our north america business correspondent michelle fleury is in new york. it is quite an inbox for the new boss, but the end of an era for rupert murdoch.— rupert murdoch. yes, this is someone who for a long — rupert murdoch. yes, this is someone who for a long time _ rupert murdoch. yes, this is someone who for a long time has _ rupert murdoch. yes, this is someone who for a long time has been - who for a long time has been associated with newspapers and his love of newspapers and add at heart that's what he's considered himself but now he replaced by his son lachlan who doesn't necessarily have the same affinity for news that his
4:40 pm
father done and he's known for his love of business and that is what it will bring to the table but his inboxis will bring to the table but his inbox is pretty full with a number of legal complaints not least from the voting technology company smart matic. you might recall last year the news organisation, newscorp, had to settle with a company called dominion systems, and other voting technology company in america and they paid over 700 million dollars and smart matic is seeing more in damages forfalse hoods and smart matic is seeing more in damages for false hoods spread by the news networks and then that is one to watch and then the lawsuit from a new york pension fund and by some individuals with lawsuit so legally he will spend potentially a lot of time with lawyers. now, the start of this is the beginning of a new era and it settles the succession question at newscorp but what it doesn't do is settle the potential future of the company and by that i mean when rupert murdoch passes away, he still controls a lot

4:43 pm
east about the ceasefire, the snp motion laid down, but news from the labour party that the labour mp and shadow mp naz shah said she will vote for the snp vote that calls for immediate ceasefire in gaza and says we know eventually there will be eight ceasefire in this current crisis and every war ends with a cessation of hostilities but the question is not if there will be a ceasefire but when. for the people of palestine, every minute and hour and every day we await another orphan, grieving mother and another family wiped out. the political backdrop to this is that the labour leadership has made it clear that any front bench minister who votes for an immediate ceasefire will be sacked from their post unless they resign from post and she is expected to be sacked, and it is a real test for the authority of keir starmer,
4:44 pm
not just the for the authority of keir starmer, notjust the number who might defy his authority when it comes to this vote, it is crucially, a lot of focus on the number of frontbenchers, so the news that naz shah says she will vote for the snp motion calling for an immediate ceasefire in gaza. that news coming into us from westminster. let's go back to those pictures in downing street, because we are expecting to hear from the prime street, because we are expecting to hearfrom the prime minister on street, because we are expecting to hear from the prime minister on the supreme courtjudgment. alex forsyth is in westminster and waiting and watching and set the scene for us, because we had the important judgment hours ago but so much reaction politically since. yes. judgment hours ago but so much reaction politically since.- reaction politically since. yes, as ou sa reaction politically since. yes, as you say the _ reaction politically since. yes, as you say the supreme _ reaction politically since. yes, as you say the supreme court - reaction politically since. yes, as - you say the supreme courtjudgment which deemed the policy on a wanda on sending asylum seekers from the uk unlawful and we have reaction

from rishi sunak and home secretary james cleverly and they said they would seek a treaty with rwanda. 0k, would seek a treaty with rwanda. ok, i think we can go and hearfrom the prime minister, rishi sunak. i do not a . ree prime minister, rishi sunak. i do not agree with — prime minister, rishi sunak. i do not agree with this decision but i and accept it. the rule of law is fundamental to our democracy. we have prepared for all outcomes in this case. and so we have been working on a new international treaty with rwanda. this will provide a guarantee in law that those relocated from the uk to rwanda will be protected against removal from rwanda will be protected against removalfrom rwanda rwanda will be protected against removal from rwanda and rwanda will be protected against removalfrom rwanda and it rwanda will be protected against removal from rwanda and it will make clear that we will bring back anyone afforded to do so by a court. we will finalise the treaty in light of today's judgment and ratify it without delay. but we need to end the merry—go—round. i said i was going to fundamentally change our country and i meant it. so i am also
4:46 pm
announcing today that we will take the extraordinary step of introducing emergency legislation and this will enable parliament to confirm with our new treaty, rwanda is safe. it will ensure that people cannot further delay flights by bringing systemic challenges in domestic courts and stop our policy being repeatedly blocked. but of course we must be honest about the fact that once parliament has changed the law at home, we could still face challenges from the european court of human rights in strasbourg. i told parliament earlier today that i'm prepared to change laws and revisit international relationships to remove the obstacles in our way. let me tell everybody now that i will not allow a foreign court to block these flights. if the strasbourg court chooses to intervene against the express wishes of parliament, i'm prepared to do what is necessary to get flights off. i will not take the easy way out. because i
4:47 pm
fundamentally do not believe that anyone that the founding aims of the european convention on human rights was to stop a sovereign parliament removing illegal migrants to a country deemed to be safe in parliamentary statute and binding international law. and i do not believe we are alone in that interpretation. across europe, other governments are following our lead. italy, germany, austria, are all exploring models like ours. indeed, the un hcr operates its own refugee scheme in rwanda. and unlike the uk, they don't have a treaty for any of this. we are a reasonable government and this is a reasonable country. but the british people's patients can only be stretched so thin and they expect the boats to be stopped. that is why i made it one of my five priorities, whatever our critics
4:48 pm
might say, we are making progress, because the rwanda scheme is only one part of the strategy. last december the number entering the uk illegally in small boats had more than quadrupled injust illegally in small boats had more than quadrupled in just two years. since then, this year, they are down by one third, even as the numbers entering the rest of europe had soared with illegal crossings of the mediterranean up by 80%. we are ending the farce of taxpayers footing the bill to put illegal migrants in hotels with 50 closures announced already returning them to local community. illegal working raids are up by almost 70% and we have made over 5000 arrests this year. we've included returns in co—operation agreements with france, bulgaria, turkey, italy, georgia and albania. we have cut the legacy initial asylum backlog by almost two thirds and in total we have returned
4:49 pm
over 20,000 illegal migrants this year. the facts are clear. this government has done more and delivered more than any government in the last five years to tackle illegal migration. but to fully solve this problem the rimando policy is a necessary deterrent. that's why it is important that the supreme court has today confirmed that the principle of removing asylum seekers to a third, say country is lawful. because it means when we have addressed the supreme court concerns, people will know that if they come here illegally, they will not get to stay and they will stop coming altogether. that is how we will stop the boats. in recent years, many have lost faith in politicians ability to do the things they would do. they fear that politicians are more interested in grandstanding than delivering for the british people. i have been
4:50 pm
determined to change that and deliver on the commitment i make. i committed at the start of this year to halve inflation and back them inflation was 10.7%, but new figures released this morning by the office for national statistics show that inflation is now 4.6%. i'm not saying the job is done. inflation is now 4.6%. i'm not saying thejob is done. many inflation is now 4.6%. i'm not saying the job is done. many people have struggled and continued to struggle. we must stay the course until inflation returns to target but it shows that when i said we would halve inflation, i meant it. when i said i would stop the boats, i meant it. today'sjudgment has not weakened my resolve, it has only hardened it and we will deliver that as well. thank you. we will take some questions from the media briefly. can i start with the bbc? thank you, chris mason, bbc news. let's cut to the quick, you gave
4:51 pm
your home secretary the heave ho on monday and the court has shredded your rwanda plan today. it's a total shambles, isn't it?— shambles, isn't it? chris, if you look at the _ shambles, isn't it? chris, if you look at the track _ shambles, isn't it? chris, if you look at the track record - shambles, isn't it? chris, if you look at the track record of - shambles, isn't it? chris, if you look at the track record of our l look at the track record of our policy tackling illegal migration, as i said earlier, we've done more in the last year to tackle illegal migration to stop the boats than any government has done in years. the numbers of people coming here this year are down by a third. the number of illegal migration raids up by 70% and new deals with half a dozen countries and we have returned 20,000 people and made thousands of arrests all while the numbers in europe are getting worse, so it actually shows that when i said we would stop the boats when i made the speech in january, would stop the boats when i made the speech injanuary, we are delivering and making strong progress, but in order to finish thejob and making strong progress, but in order to finish the job and get the job done, we need the rwanda deterrent to work which is why we have been preparing thoroughly and carefully for all outcomes today and that's why we've already got a treaty that is virtually ready to go that we will finalise in light of
4:52 pm
today's judgment and that will provide everybody with the assurances they need and indeed the court today made recommendations, and we will meet all of those challenges with our new treaty and then parliament will have the chance to demonstrate unequivocally that the wonder is safe for these purposes and in compliance with all of our obligations, so not only have we made great progress this far, we will get thejob done we made great progress this far, we will get the job done and that involves the new treaty and new domestic legislation, and that will clear the remaining barriers to us getting flights off, as planned, in the spring of next year. itv. prime minister, the spring of next year. itv. prime minister. your— the spring of next year. itv. prime minister, your party _ the spring of next year. itv. prime minister, your party vice _ the spring of next year. itv. prime minister, your party vice chair, - minister, your party vice chair, louls— minister, your party vice chair, louis anderson says ignore the law, put louis anderson says ignore the law, but the _ louis anderson says ignore the law, put the planes in the air and send them_ put the planes in the air and send them to— put the planes in the air and send them to rimando. you have just made see that _ them to rimando. you have just made see that you _ them to rimando. you have just made see that you respect the law, so will you — see that you respect the law, so will you sack him, or do you understand where he is coming from -- send _ understand where he is coming from —— send them to rwanda. and if no one is_ —— send them to rwanda. and if no one is sent — —— send them to rwanda. and if no one is sent to— —— send them to rwanda. and if no one is sent to rwanda before the next election, will you admit you

4:54 pm
parliament endorses it and declares rimando is safe for these purposes and meet the obligations, and my patience has run thin as has the countries patience runs thin and thatis countries patience runs thin and that is why we will take all of the necessary steps to ensure we can remove any further blockages about getting this policy executed and getting this policy executed and getting planes leaving as planned in spring next year. and next two times radio. ., ., ., , . spring next year. and next two times radio. ., ., ., ' . .,, spring next year. and next two times radio. ., ., ., ' . radio. your own home office has said that it identified, — radio. your own home office has said that it identified, and _ radio. your own home office has said that it identified, and i _ radio. your own home office has said that it identified, and i quote - radio. your own home office has said that it identified, and i quote some . that it identified, and i quote some concerns with rwanda's record with human rights record with regard to dissent and treatment —— freedom of speech and we have looked at the country and said patric —— rwanda is generally a safe country for refugees. how can parliament can be certain that rwanda is a safe country if your own home office is not certain, and can you guarantee a plane will leave before the next

4:56 pm
the generosity of the people, evacuees from libya can enjoy a good protection environment and get access to a an essential humanitarian assistance service. those are the statements from the un previously and we had our own assessment, but our new treaty will be put into binding law the assurances from everybody, including the supreme court, needs that people on whether we send someone to rwanda and they will not be incorrectly returned and that was problematic for them and when we do that, parliament will have a chance to support the point of view and at that point, a sovereign parliament will have declared unequivocally that rwanda is safe for these purposes and fulfils all our obligations and fulfils the operations we have because there are multiple and in doing so at that point i don't expect there to be any more domestic barriers to us getting the policy working on planes leaving

4:58 pm
apply our compassion and generosity to those who most need it. none of thatis to those who most need it. none of that is right, and people are needlessly dying, innocent people are dying when they make these illegal crossings so they are being exploited by gangs. anyway you look at it, the current system is not defensible and that's why it is one of my priorities to stop the boats and we have made more progress in the past year than any government has in any year since this small boats phenomenon came upon us, and i am confident we will keep making progress but getting rwanda working is an important part of completing thejob and having is an important part of completing the job and having the deterrent effect that we need and, as i said, legislation will help us do that. we are responding to the supreme court and i don't agree with the decision but i respect it and accept it. rule of law is fundamental to our democracy but what we have been doing in the new treaty with rwanda that will be ratified by our
4:59 pm
parliament and in rwanda and alongside that we will be introducing emergency extraordinary legislation so people cannot further delay flights by bringing systemic challenges in our domestic courts and stop our policy being repeatedly blocked. we will come away there with rishi sunak saying he does not agree with the decision from the supreme court but respects it and has talked about an extraordinary emergency legislation that will be brought in to demonstrate that rwanda is safe and stop the policy being locked and also warned the european courts not to block rwandan migrant flights. he was asked by chris mason, it was a shambles, isn't it? you denied it and said that flights would be ready by the spring and he was asked about the deputy chairman lee anderson saying to ignore the law, and he said he understood the frustrations, so that in some of the latest from the british prime minister, rishi sunak.
