in westminster, efforts are under way to shore up support.abinet told today, spending cuts are coming in the quest for economic credibility, with almost everything on the table even, potentially, pensions. that could mean more unpopular decisions, and in here there's already deep unrest. though conservative mps don't agree on the path or the person they should now follow. for some, the economic choices the prime minister makes with her new chancellor could be key. if the two of them work together and are a success, and i'm going to do everything i can to try and make sure that that is the case, then i think she will lead us into the next election. if it's not a success and if it doesn't work, then the conservative parliamentary party will have to think again. labour say any further shift should be the choice of the country, not the conservative party. many people now feel that the real risk now is carrying on with this lot rather than actually having a general election, bringing in a labour government, and securing our economy. that's the fir

, where i am —— developments at westminster. they received better care at east kent nhs hospitals trust — that's one of the findings of a damning independent review. a panel looked at more than 200 cases at the trust between 2009 and 2020, and found that the outcome could have been different in nearly half. it said the hospitals often provided care that was "suboptimal" and led to significant harm. dr bill kirkup, who led the inquiry, said staff had failed to take notice of women when they raised concerns. 0ur correspondent dan johnson has this report. i think they were negligent. we got to the point where we could say hang on, the same thing has been going on and on and on. this wasjust after. you breast—fed her. when daisy was born in 201a her mother says doctors failed to spot she was suffering from pre—eclampsia. daisy only lived an hour and emma had no idea why her daughter died. we met this lady and when she started to go through the report, she firstly started to say babies just die and thatjust happens. i cannot put it t

we'll have all the latest from westminster. also coming up: gunfire we have special report on the front line in ukraine's donbas — with russian positions just a few hundred metres away. president biden signs off the release of oil supplies from the us strategic reserve, in an attempt to limit global price rises. it's six in the morning in singapore, and 11 pm in london, the end of a day of unrelenting chaos for prime minister liz truss and her government. it was just after 4 pm when reports started coming in about the resignation of home secretary, suella braverman. it wasn't long before her resignation letter was made public containing sweeping criticism of the government. later, there was chaos in the house of commons during a vote on fracking, with allegations of mps being manhandled to support the government. our political editor, chris mason has the latest from westminster. tonight at westminster, rolling case studies in chaos — crises engulfing the government by the hour. the home secretary resigns. those at the highest l

he wanted to give the maximum low to westminster and union bridges it could. he would run them in convoys of five trains, one behind the other. so that every time those five trains got to westminster and unity bridge, they could unload 2000 tons of supplies. then back all the way down the tracks to baltimore. he do that five times a day. this is what it takes to keep an army alive. i cannot emphasize this stuff more. so that system was set up on july one. so this army could be supplied. at that moment now, pike creek's needs preferred position to defend. he wants to defend, if he can. let it lead to the attacking. pie creek, that means his line of supply is only seven miles long to west minister and union bridge. easy, that's good, it's close. that works. you could see what kind of ahead this man has now. that works. we've said up the supply base. going back to these core moving ahead of the pike creek line. let's first look at the first core on the far left. meade has given kind of special orders. he wants reynolds to move to gettysburg and he wants howard's

mps return to westminster today after a break for the party conferences.r political correspondent, iain watson. a great deal in the government's in—tray? yes, indeed. the in—tray is absolutely overflowing, and most of the stuff in it is as welcome as a big energy bill. as we heard, kwasi kwarteng, the chancellor, is bringing forward his economic plan from the end of november talked up in the 31st. but the announcement has not eased marketjitters. therefore, in the content, it is going to be more important than the timing. if the markets remain spooked after his halloween statement, the political choices for liz truss become all the more difficult. if, for example, she decides to increase benefits by less than the current rate of inflation, many of her own mps are going to oppose that. if she decides she is going to cut back on big projects like road building than some of the mps who are to live where electoral promise of levelling up are going to hit it. it will also prevent her from increasing her goal of economic growth. this afternoon the shadow chancel

you're in westminster. charlie angela. i guess it was inevitable that she was basically had no other option but to sit down today. well, we knew that the next 24 hours were going to be critical. we knew things were going to move fast. i don't think that many people anticipated it would move quite this fast least trust prime minister, the u. k has just resigned. she has only been in the job for 6 weeks. and in that time she's seen the pound plummet. she's had to roll back on most of her policy program. she's had to sack her finance minister quasi quail sang and yesterday see her home secretary interior minister to ela rather than resign. at 1922 committee has now decided that she has not got the mandate of her party. she is not capable of leading this government. and so she will, they will be looking for another lead to the question now is who there is not enough consensus within the conservative party to pick another leader. they're going to have to pull together very quickly, a heal those divisions and to come to come som

leila nathoo, bbc news, westminster.oung is at westminster for us. vicki, no cuts in public spending, says the prime minister, quite emphatically, and yet big tax cuts and spending commitments — so people are asking, how do the government's sums add up? i think conservative mps will be asking exactly that. there is a clash here, really, and i think the chancellor and the government are boxed in in many ways because of that many budget. you have got what the markets want, which is reassurance. they don't like the idea of these unfunded tax cuts, this huge amount of extra borrowing. they want to know how he's going to balance the books, how he's going to get that down. then you have got what conservative mps will be willing to tolerate, the prime minister today is saying that they will not be any spending cuts. that could partly be to do with the fact that as the chancellor said before, the spending that has been outlined in the past is staying the same. but of course, with inflation going up so much, it means that actuall
