air traffic control restrictions at heathrow airport on sunday have been lifted. national air traffic control services blamed staff absence and strong winds for the decision to limit the number of flights. passengers reported disruption, but the airport has not yet given any confirmation on the number of services which were delayed or cancelled. the british chancellorjeremy hunt says any tax cuts in this week's autumn statement to parliament will be done in a �*responsible way�* that won't risk fuelling inflation. mr hunt wouldn't comment on speculation he may cut inheritance tax but said there would be changes to the benefits system — with extra support for those with health issues who are looking for work, but tougher sanctions for those who turn down jobs. with inflation now falling, our political correspondent, damian grammaticas, assesses the chancellor's options. the biggest fall in half a century in the value of the pound against the dollar. that was just over a year ago. chancellor, what are you going to do about the turmoil in the markets this morning, sir? a tax—cutting mini budget caused chaos.
6:47 pm
i won't make any comment now. the government's budget watchdog worried about inflation. it warned of a big drop in living standards over the next two years, the sharpest since records began. last month the chancellor said it wasn't time for tax cuts. we must grow the economy, be more efficient in how we spend money, then we can start to bring down taxes. now, though, jeremy hunt thinks things are changing. price rises are slowing. the bank of england's interest rate hikes have seen to that, and we are year, perhaps less, from an election so his priorities are shifting, he is now considering tax reductions. i will only do so in a responsible way. i'm not going to sacrifice the progress we've made bringing down inflation. if you're saying today, "i'm not going to do anything that will fuel inflation," our viewers can hear you pretty clearly hinting that means no income tax cut. what i can tell you is the approach i will take on tax, which means we will be responsible... another thing he is considering

limiting, the amount that benefits rise in the coming year. usually, september's inflation, 6.7%, would dictate how much they go up but he may use a lowerfigure and toughen the rules for some. let me tell you what i've been saying about the welfare system. we will give support to more than1 million people to help them get well enough to work and, yes, there will be people who are not sick, don't have a disability, been out of work for a long time. we say if you are not engaging with the process, if you don't engage for six months, then we are going to close your case and stop your benefits. labour say that limiting benefit rises is the wrong approach. in government i willl use the inflation rate that is traditional, . september inflation, to increase the rates. so whatever happens you would always commit to that? i think it's the right thing to do. if you pick and choose _ from year—to—year what inflation number is the cheapest thing to do, then you see the gradual erosion i

of people's incomes. the chancellor knows his party remains far behind in the polls, without too much time to turn things around. damian grammaticus, bbc news in just a few weeks, it will become illegal in england and wales to buy, sell or give away an xl bully dog — and the animals will need to be muzzled and kept on a lead in public. the new rules come into force on new year's day, which means the training should start right now. our reporter amy cole went to meet a vet in birmingham who is trying to help xl bullies, and their owners, to get ready. chapo? yes. hello. chapo and his owner, jo woodward, are here to see vet christian hughes because come the new year, their life is going to change. last month, the american bully xl was added to the list of banned breeds in england and wales. from february, chapo will have to wear a muzzle in public, but first it's about getting him used to one.
6:50 pm
so let's try you with the muzzle just going over your nose, chapo. you're just going to put your nose in and take the treats. good boy. well done! that's very good. the next step will be teaching jo how to tie the straps of the muzzle. she's one of 12 or so clients who is currently receiving advice and muzzle training from fivelands veterinary centre in moseley. i'm slowly, slowly doing it. i do a bit of muzzle training like twice a day and so far so good. how do you feel about the extra rules that are now being imposed because you own a banned breed? i would do anything — if that's what i have to do, that's what i have to do. you know, it's not nice that we've had to do this for the dogs, but i will do it. in september, ian price from stonnall in staffordshire was savagely attacked by two dogs suspected to be american xl bullies and he died in hospital. and this month a woman and her cocker spaniel were set upon in tamworth castle grounds. she was bitten and her pet so badly injured that it died a short time later.
6:51 pm
christian says that preparing for the new legislation is vital. now is the time to start muzzle training. get into the behavioural issues. if there are any behavioural issues, get those ironed out because that's going to become more difficult once the legislation is enacted. have you had any enquiries from owners asking about putting their xl bullies down? thankfully, we haven't at this stage and we're hoping that people won't do that unless they've got serious behavioural issues. we'd be really upset to have to put a healthy dog down. it's home time now for chapo, with plenty more training ahead. amy cole, bbc news. tickets for the glastonbury festival next year have sold out within an hour of going on sale this morning. the festival's organisers posted on x, formerly twitter, that �*demand had greatly exceeded supply�*. none of the headline acts have announced yet. well one of our own, aisling taylor, has managed to grab some of those

6:55 pm
hello there. we�*ve had some more rain around today but after today and perhaps tomorrow, the rest of the week is looking pretty dry. at the moment, we�*ve got the rain because we�*ve got low pressure sitting very close to the uk. that�*s brought some heavy rain earlier on in wales and across northern england. that rain moving away from wales but we�*ll keep the rain going into the night across northern england, perhaps southern scotland. some rain comes back into northern ireland and then we get this curl of rain sweeping eastwards across southern parts of england and wales. so a bit of a messy night. we will find some clearer spells developing through the midlands and lowest temperatures will be around 5—6 degrees, so a little bit chillier than it was last night. that rain in the south—east soon moves away and then, broadly speaking, it�*s going to be quite cloudy. there will be some showers around, maybe some sunshine, though, for a good part of the day across east anglia and the south—east. it will get windy, though, across northern ireland and across these western coastal areas. it will be a chillier wind as well, and on the whole, temperatures will bit lower than we�*ve seen over the weekend. but after monday, then, there may not be a great deal of sunshine but there probably won�*t be an awful lot

of rain through the rest of the week, either. we�*re going to find this area of high pressure tending to build towards the uk. a northerly wind, though, is bringing in some chillier air as we head into tuesday. it may well bring in more cloud again and a few showers across england and wales — those should tend to move away. some sunshine for a while for scotland and northern ireland before it clouds over here, a little rain in the far north of scotland. those temperatures continuing to just slip away a little bit. so typically around 9 or 10 degrees and it could be quite chilly overnight across england and wales. it may be the coldest night over the week ahead. things start to turn milder though across scotland and northern ireland, because the wind direction changes. there�*s that colder air, but this is the air we�*re going to get into through the rest of the week. it�*s a milder air coming around the top of an area of high pressure and it�*s broadly a westerly wind. it will bring in a lot of cloud across northern parts of the uk and some rain into northern and western areas of scotland. further south, a lot of dry weather. a bit of sunshine coming through now and again but as you can see,
