better ways you could do it and of course much more convenient to a subsequent inquiry because it's all written down. of course it wasn't at that time. a, written down. of course it wasn't at that time. . , .., written down. of course it wasn't at that time. . , ., ., that time. a significant portion of toda 's that time. a significant portion of today's questioning _ that time. a significant portion of today's questioning was - that time. a significant portion of today's questioning was around i today's questioning was around modeling. professor woody explained theissues modeling. professor woody explained the issues of explaining covid models to the public versus using clear facts. models to the public versus using clearfacts. i models to the public versus using clear facts— clear facts. i thought sir patrick did an excellent _ clear facts. i thought sir patrick did an excellent job _ clear facts. i thought sir patrick did an excellent job of- clear facts. i thought sir patrick did an excellent job of laying i clear facts. i thought sir patrick| did an excellent job of laying out did an excellentjob of laying out our discomfort at trying to explain models in very short form press briefings. they have to come rightly with large numbers of caveats. what inevitably happens with models unfortunately, you can't actually argue with the number of people going into hospital and the number of sadly dying. you can argue with the model. they tended to become a way in which both sides of a polarised debate tended to have their debate with some people saying, this is all made up its
5:09 pm
exaggerated, it'sjust modelling in the modelling is exaggerated. another group saying the modelling are showing terrible itself. the models tended to become the focus for the debates between people who had strong opposing views because they were more debatable. also because they weren't fully understood. a large number of people debating them in public were doing so essentially, they had a position he wanted to advance the top they were going to use the model to advance their position almost whatever the model showed. i think this demonstrates that trying to use modelling outputs in public discourse has to be done with care. it doesn't mean it shouldn't be done but great care whereas using actual data is much easier, everyone can understand it. and test whether it's true or not. if it's true you can then at least interpret it. that's why personally, ifar then at least interpret it. that's why personally, i far preferred and if you see my presentations of data i tried were possible only to use either existing data or data with
5:10 pm
very short term reaction because i thick it's easier to explain. professor chris whitty giving evidence of the course of today. we will have an analysis from a political correspondent later in half hour. let's look at one of the days of the leading stories. the us says there is a "tentative deal for the release of hostages" in gaza but it's not yet finalised. a short time ago president biden said "things are looking good at the moment". israel's prime minister is convening his war cabinet now to discuss the details of the possible agreement. benjamin netanyahu says "progress" is being made and he hopes to have good news soon. the leader of hamas, ismail haniyeh, has also said his group is close to agreeing what he called a truce with israel. the plan is being mediated by qatar. let's get the latest on israel's war with hamas with this report from nick beake. ismail haniyeh, the head of hamas.
5:11 pm
he claims a deal with israel is nearly there. it's raised hopes that some hostages will soon be freed during what would be a pause in the fighting in gaza. it can't come soon enough for the families of the kidnapped, nor for the two million gazans who've been under bombardment for six weeks. the un says 12 people were killed yesterday at the indonesian hospital. the israeli military said it returned fire after being attacked from within the hospital. the medical director described to us the scene today. we have no water. we have no food. the israeli army surround the hospital. but for america, which has been involved in the talks, there is also growing hope that some sort of deal is being finalised. mr president, is it a hostage deal near? i believe so but i'm not prepared to talk. you believe so? yes. how soon? a white house official went further.
5:12 pm
we believe we're closer than we've ever been, so we're hopeful. but there's still work to be done and nothing is done until it's all done. so we're going to keep working on this. the families of the hostages say they don't yet know the details of the negotiations. many have argued the israeli government should have focused more on bringing home their loved ones rather than destroying hamas. taking down hamas, we keep hearing from them it's going to take months or years and it's going to take a long time. on the other hand, the other objective is time—sensitive. people are dying. the united nations says some sort of ceasefire is urgently needed. this was the aftermath this morning of a strike on the jabalia refugee camp. gaza is desperately short of food and medicine, and disease is spreading. it's hoped any deal would allow hostages out and more aid in.
5:13 pm
king charles is hosting his first state visit since his coronation. a three day trip to the united kingdom with trade and investment expected to be a key focus. our correspondent is at buckingham palace and has all the latest on the first day of the state visit. the latest on the first day of the state visit-— state visit. it's definitely been the red corporal— state visit. it's definitely been the red corporal royal - state visit. it's definitely been | the red corporal royal roll-out for the president of south korea and the first lady. the official ceremony a welcome from the king and queen. and indeed rishi sunak the prime minister was there as well as was david cameron and his new role of foreign secretary. he was actually prime minister the last time there was in the state visit by a south korean president ten years ago. there was then a carriage procession down the mall to buckingham palace, which the prince and princess of wales took part in as well as the king and queen. they
5:14 pm
had a private lunch inside buckingham palace but we were then told they were shown some items from the royal collection that related to korea. there's been a bit more of a poignant afternoon as the south korean president and his wife the first lady laid a wreath at the korean war memorial that marks the 70th anniversary of the end of the korean war. they also then went on to west minister abbey where they laid another reads at the tomb of the unknown warrior. very much a poignant afternoon for the couple. they then made their way onto west minister and they are addressing members of both houses of parliament at west minister. as you mentioned at west minister. as you mentioned at the start, the main event is here at the start, the main event is here at buckingham palace later on this evening where there will be a state banquet in honour of the president
5:15 pm
and first lady. of course the king and first lady. of course the king and queen will be there along with other members of the royal family. there will be around 170 guests who have been invited for the event, which i'm told will be white tie anti—arrow. we have a got the menu yet, a lot of royal —— trr. we will bring you that way we do get it. we have been told that there is a 19th—century dinner service that is used and the tables have been laid with military precision, so much so they are 46 cm apart, the plates. nikki schiller outside buckingham palace. lots of economic discussion in trade deals linked to these discussions for that will bring you the details when we get out. the minimum wage is to be increased by more than a pound to £11 per hour from april next year.
5:16 pm
it's officially known as the national living wage and it is currently template 42 an hour for workers over the age of 23. the chancellorjeremy hunt has decided that the rate will also apply to 21 and 22—year—olds for the first time. it means a full—time worker age 23 on the wage would see a rise worth £1800. at 21—year—old will see in affected 203,000 annual rise let's get more on this from our political correspondent for the peter, talk to us about the thinking from the chancellor here. this us about the thinking from the chancellor here.— us about the thinking from the chancellor here. this had been exected chancellor here. this had been expected from _ chancellor here. this had been expected from jerry _ chancellor here. this had been expected from jerry hunt. - chancellor here. this had been expected from jerry hunt. he i chancellor here. this had been - expected from jerry hunt. he talks about it in his speech at this conservative party conference last month. it's all about putting more money into the back pockets of younger workers. money into the back pockets of youngerworkers. i money into the back pockets of younger workers. i suppose the conservatives are often accused of not doing all that much for voters at the younger end of the spectrum. this is an attempt to counter that narrative. it's also part of a wider theme in tomorrow's autumn statement
5:17 pm
about getting the economy growing once again. if you put more money into peoples pockets to go out and spend it and it will get things moving a little bit more then there have been in recent years. of course a major problem facing the british economy. this is it the first time the conservative government have looked at the national minimum wage it was george osborne who brought it in that concept of the national living wage, a bit of a rebrand, still effectively the minimum wage. that is interesting because because george osborne was david cameron's chancellor for the david george osborne was david cameron's chancellorfor the david cameron is now sitting around the cabinet brought back into the fold in the reshuffle last week. i’m brought back into the fold in the reshuffle last week.— brought back into the fold in the reshuffle last week. i'm sure no one will question — reshuffle last week. i'm sure no one will question the _ reshuffle last week. i'm sure no one will question the methodology, - reshuffle last week. i'm sure no one will question the methodology, but| will question the methodology, but process beyond increasing the national living wage. this isn't coming out of the government coffers. this falls on businesses which i understand is a key consideration for the chancellor, balancing the way for those earning the lowest but also the impact that will have on the business is paying
5:18 pm
it. a, will have on the business is paying it. . ., ., will have on the business is paying it. a lot of those businesses particularly _ it. a lot of those businesses particularly in _ it. a lot of those businesses particularly in the _ it. a lot of those businesses | particularly in the hospitality industry, retail have raised concerns a lot in recent years over these big rises in the national minimum wage. it's gone up by about 10% for 23—year—olds. is12% minimum wage. it's gone up by about 10% for 23—year—olds. is 12% for 21 and 22—year—olds. that significantly above the current rate of inflation. of above the current rate of inflation. of course businesses are having to absorb the extra cost that we've all had to as individuals and perhaps even businesses suffer post—pandemic. and also because customers don't have as much cash to spend right now. there is a bit of a risk. were also told that tomorrow there will also be tax cuts for businesses across the board from the chancellor. the reason he believes he is able to do that is because of a slightly improved economic outlook. rishi sunak giving a speech just yesterday saying that the time was now right for tax cuts i wouldn't expect there to be widespread giveaways but he was
5:19 pm
making the point that because inflation has come down now by a half he was a we have had to, it's only the government that is done that, but it does allow the chancellor a little bit of wiggle room but not that much. the uk economy still quite in a fragile state. he might do a bit tomorrow to make the set up. the focus on him will be helping businesses even if on the service the rise in the minimum wage is about helping employees rather than employers. there has been lots of speculation and the chancellor hasn't been drawn on it on whether there will be changes to inheritance tax. if there is changes what do we take from the timing of today's announcement potentially coming before any changes it to inheritance in tomorrow's autumn statement? it’s tomorrow's autumn statement? it's lookin: tomorrow's autumn statement? it�*s looking likely they'll be in inheritance tax change which the chancellor would like to look at, it will come in the budget in the spring. we will have to wait and see. we don't know exactly what is going to happen until the chancellor
5:20 pm
actually speaks out loud in the house of commons tomorrow lunchtime. certainly they want to look at that issue which of course helps people at the older age of the age factor rather than younger. that they are getting a head today by announcing something that will help younger voters of the art accused of i suppose generational warfare helping older people and not so much younger. we will wait for that tomorrow. other bits of taxation are being looked at for tomorrow. perhaps not in contact, again, i think that something will have to wait for until the spring budget, which of course will be much closer to a general election due at some point next year. probably either in the spring so after that budget or the spring so after that budget or the autumn. from looking to the spring next year for that general elections and the temptation will be very strong as opposed to the chancellor to give some big giveaways. i think it will be some signalling tomorrow from him about the direction as we head towards the
5:21 pm
general election. {iii the direction as we head towards the general election.— general election. of course we will have plenty _ general election. of course we will have plenty coverage _ general election. of course we will have plenty coverage of _ general election. of course we will have plenty coverage of the - general election. of course we will. have plenty coverage of the autumn statement here on bbc news. no surprise there. we've been following the covid inquiry that's been taking place in central london today. been hearing from professor chris whitty. helen catt has been following the inquiry. just talk to us about some of the key themes and comments that came from chris whitty this afternoon. came from chris whitty this afternoon-— came from chris whitty this afternoon. �* ., ., ., ., afternoon. we've had a lot of evidence _ afternoon. we've had a lot of evidence from _ afternoon. we've had a lot of evidence from professor - afternoon. we've had a lot of evidence from professor sir | afternoon. we've had a lot of- evidence from professor sir chris whitty, the chief medical officer, he has had that role since before the pandemic so he was a leading voice throughout the pandemic providing advice to the prime minister and other ministers he covered, as you would imagine a lot of ground in his evidence today. he's coming back tomorrow to give more, he's not quite done. some of the things he covered, he addressed criticisms or suggestions that he had been more cautious and talking about lockdowns than other advisors.
5:22 pm
he said that he simply believed they needed to be transparent about the downside. he said he gave the example of someone who's going to have an operation, he said the doctor doesn't just tell you you need to have an operation, they tell you the rest involves as well. in that he felt was important. he also talked about the governments mantra throughout the pandemic of following the science. he said at first they thought that was great but it soon became apparent that it was as he put it, "a millstone around the sciences next. "it blurred important demarcations between technical advice being given in the political decisions being made by people who needed to be held account in parliament and the ballot box. it was something he returned to throughout the day. this clear line as he put it between the advice that scientists were giving and the political decisions that needed to be made by the politicians. he was very keen not to criticise individuals. that's the point he
5:23 pm
came back to throughout the day. he is still imposed as the chief medical officer. he was asked about boris johnson's style as medical officer. he was asked about borisjohnson's style as prime minister and the team around him. he said the operation around him a big chaotic and borisjohnson have a unique style but he was keen to stress that he felt other governments had been in chaos too. a lot of ground covered. one other interesting thing that popped up this afternoon was the idea that he doesn't believe that government in general takes natural threats like pandemics as seriously as they do security threats. as an example of this he said that he had warned the prime minister in very early 2020 that a pandemic was possible. it wasn't certain but possible and if it happened it was reasonable to think that between 100 to 300,000 people could die. he said that failed to in his word, electrified government. he believed that as he
5:24 pm
put it, for example, the head of m15 of the chief of general staff had walked in and said that they thought there was a possibility 100,000 people would die in a terror attack then he wouldn't have expected the reaction that happen here to continue. for example, he would ask hectic covert to continue being chaired by the health secretary. that is a key question that comes up time and time again is why boris johnson's prime minister didn't share those early cobra meetings. a lot of ground covered here which set “p lot of ground covered here which set up quite a lot of questions for the politicians when they come before the inquiry. politicians when they come before the inuui . �* , politicians when they come before the inquiry-— the inquiry. briefly, it's worth notin: the inquiry. briefly, it's worth noting that — the inquiry. briefly, it's worth noting that this _ the inquiry. briefly, it's worth noting that this is _ the inquiry. briefly, it's worth noting that this is an - the inquiry. briefly, it's worth noting that this is an exercise j the inquiry. briefly, it's worth - noting that this is an exercise that is a learning exercise and they're all sort of guilty as a result of this inquiry will they?- all sort of guilty as a result of this inquiry will they? know, what this inquiry will they? know, what this is about _ this inquiry will they? know, what this is about is _ this inquiry will they? know, what this is about is how— this inquiry will they? know, what this is about is how to _ this inquiry will they? know, what this is about is how to do - this inquiry will they? know, what this is about is how to do things i this is about is how to do things better if there is another pandemic. it's looking at what happened and how government dealt with it, how decisions were made and how things

5:26 pm
even if it's just been high cloud in the north, it's starting to thicken up now with the skies becoming overcast this evening and overnight in the north with some rain and some heaviest rain as well across the highlands of scotland. whilst in contrast, showers in the south will clear, the winds that we've had all day ease away. so we could see not only some fog around that morning, but some ground frost and some ice on the cars. and you can see the rain does stretch into parts of north wales and northern england. but look at the contrast. temperatures this morning started at freezing in the glens of scotland, much milder to start here tomorrow morning and for northern ireland. and that's because of the combination of the cloud and the rain and the wind. some strong and gusty winds here tomorrow, 40, 45 miles an hour whilst further south, it's the lack of wind. that means we'll start with a little bit of mr fog. that means we'll start with a little bit of mist fog. once that clears, it looks brighter and dry for the majority of wales central and southern parts of england. further north though, north wales north really some
5:27 pm
thicker clouds and drizzly rain, but the most persistent over the highlands of scotland. but it's much milder at 13 or 1a and that mild weather stays with us through wednesday night. so too the rain on our weather front, which starts to meander southwards during the night and into thursday. so behind it, brighter, scattered showers on thursday to the south of it, any mist clearing and then bright, too. but we do have this line of rather more persistent rain. it's the dividing line between the mild air to the south and that colder air i hinted at earlier to the north.
5:28 pm
5:29 pm
5:30 pm
2:12 pm
of thursday across scotland. and it will be right the way across the country friday, saturday to start on sunday. but there's just the hint now that we'll see a temporary low pressure coming in sunday, but a bright, cold, crisp start friday. the showers will be of sleet and snow by the end of the day, even at lower levels in the north and rain and hail on the coast in the east and it will feel colder. these are the daytime temperatures much lower than we'll have all week and add on that strong wind, particularly for scotland and eastern england. that's where we'll see the chilliest feeling weather. yes, a cold day for all and a cold
2:13 pm
night following friday night into saturday with perhaps a few more showers coming onshore near the north sea coast. a little ridge of high pressure, though, keeping things settled for the start of the weekend. just that area of rain coming into the north on sunday. so still a question mark on the outlook, but certainly a cold snap for most.
