this is another area of questioning this morning on the laura kuenssberg programme.e, himself ran for the leadership a couple of times. not very successfully. he came second to borisjohnson in the time before. if you can think that far back. but he has actually said in the interview that any leadership ambitions of his has been excised now. but have a listen to this. this was him being asked directly who is actually in charge. what i would say to those colleagues is two things. the first is, when i talked to my constituents in southwest surrey, what they want a stability. and the worst thing for that would be more political instability at the top, another protracted leadership campaign. i think that is the last thing that people really want to happen. the second thing i would say is when it comes to a general election, when the public give their verdict on this government, they willjudge us much more on what happens in the next 18 months than what has happened in the last 18 days. now, the sunday papers this morning are full of reports of potential leadership plots.

she's been talking to the bbc�*s laura kuenssberg.h parliament is able to legislate on that referendum. should the answer to that ps, we have the plans ready to go to legislate, the work on refreshing and updating the substantive case for independence is well under way, and that will continue over the course of the next days, so asjoanna just said, let's wait and see what the court says. but if you have that vote, what is to stop the uk government saying, we are not going to take part, not going to participate? i are not going to take part, not going to participate?— are not going to take part, not going to participate? i cannot sit here and predicate _ going to participate? i cannot sit here and predicate everything i i going to participate? i cannot sit i here and predicate everything i do on the basis that a uk government will continue to act in a deeply anti—democratic fashion. i've got to do what i consider to be the right thing, which is firstly respecting the will of the scottish people, which remember is for an independence re

how does laura kuenssberg's new interview programme match up to its predecessors on a sunday morning?stepping into the shoes of andrew marr and sir david frost and whether she interrupts her guests too much. first, though, if politics took something of a back seat for the days following the death of queen elizabeth this week, it's been back with a vengeance. the announcements for the chancellor, kwasi kwarteng, last friday, what's been called his mini budget, unleashed a torrent of reaction from the financial markets and institutions. most of it was negative. tonight at 10, the bank of england is forced to intervene to try to bring stability to the financial markets. emergency help was needed, especially to protect pension funds. but amid the turmoil, the government is still refusing to change its plans. what about the reporting of the story? did the media and bbc news in particular present too apocalyptic a picture of the economic fallout? this caller to the newswatch line thought so. hello. my name is anthony waites. i just wonder why the bbc doesn't talk about some of the plus side

party confernence in birmingham and listened to the prime minister's interview with the bbc�*s laura kuenssbergz truss's first party conference as prime minister, she has only been prime minister for slightly less than a month, and in usual times you would expected to be a moment to bring the party together, to put forward an optimistic vision a new prime minister's agenda. but what we are seeing is division among conservative mps over the party's economic approach. we saw this during the leadership contest that was held over the summer, that there were a number of mps, some who really likes liz truss's economic agenda, but others with deep concerns. and the reaction of the markets, what has happened in the mortgage markets since that plan was announced formally by the chancellor, has done nothing to quieten fears, possibly even more so to heighten them. so liz truss knows that she has got a reassurance job to do this week for her party, and that has started this morning, when she told laura kuenssberg that she admitted that, yes, perhaps they could have handled things better. there is an issue

laura kuenssberg asked her this morning about what she would do on benefits rising with inflation, spendingand other crucial policy areas that a prime minister will need to tackle as soon as she took office. but she would not be drawn on any of it. i believe in evidence—based policymaking. i also believe in cabinet collective responsibility, and one of the differences you'll see if i'm prime minister is that that is how i will take decisions. i won't be imposing. i have my views, but i won't be imposing policy that i've just made up in a room by myself. penny mordaunt, pledging to have a collective approach to government, which is one way of avoiding questions about her specific policies. as with whoever emerges as the winner in this race, she will inherit a difficult situation economically, given the way liz truss's premiership chaotically unfolded and ultimately came to an end. it's been a boost for rishi sunak�*s campaign this morning. he received the backing of the northern ireland minister steve baker, a key figure on the right of the party, staunch brexiteer, a real organiser in parli

cabinet minister nadeem zaha we who was on the same programme of nicola sturgeon, sunday with laura kuenssbergf his comments. the first minister herself said she had nothing to apologise for in her view, saying she didn't regret the comments and had not been referring to individuals or even supporters of the conservative party but to tory policies. this afternoon that theme was taken up by her deputyjohn swinney on this stage here. he talked about the conservatives being in his words a bunch of reckless hypocrites saying they were causing misery and crippling public services with a new age of austerity. his solution to that he said was for the scottish people to vote for independence. will there be a referendum on independence though? that may be up to the supreme court, which this week will hear the arguments for and against allowing the scottish parliament to pass legislation to hold one.- the scottish parliament to pass legislation to hold one. james cook, thank ou. in iran, the state—run television channel has been hacked to broadcast a protest against the country's government and supreme

speaking to sunday with laura kuenssberg, the doctors said mrna is showing promise in cancer studies,r cancer trials helps us to find out more about what we are against and how to address that. therefore, as scientists, we are always hesitant to say we will have a cure for cancer. we have a number of breakthroughs and we will continue to work on them. but it may be several years before we know if trials in bowel cancer, melanoma and other tumour types really do live up to the hype. covid vaccines, though, have been highly successful and made billions for biontech, but rivalfirm moderna has started legal action for patent infringement — in essence, claiming key elements of their mrna technology were copied. biontech says it will vigorously defend against the allegations. our innovations are original. we have spent 20 years of research in developing this type of treatment and, of course, we will fight for our intellectual property. these patent disputes won�*t stop the rollout of covid vaccines. mrna technology came of age in the pandemic. the question now is can it take on cancer? ferg

and tomorrow liz truss will be answering questions from my colleague laura kuenssberg.oin me here in birmingham at the earlier time of 8.30 on bbc one. see you then. the annual energy bill for a typical household goes up from £1,971 to £2,500 today — a 27% increase. the rise has been cushioned by a government cap on the cost per unit and additional financial support payments. protests have been taking place across the uk on a day of action highlighting the increased cost of living. people attended rallies around the uk including in birmingham, glasgow and belfast. russia says its forces have pulled out of a key strategic town in eastern ukraine. it had become encircled by defending troops in recent days as they continued to launch several counter—offensives in the area. they continued to launch several it's a significant victory for ukraine in the donetsk region, as recapturing lyman could give them access to more territory that russia officially annexed just a day ago. 0ur ukraine correspondent james waterhouse reports. ukraine's counteroffensives have slowed, but for

and the prime minister will be interviewed live on bbc one tomorrow on sunday morning with laura kuenssberghe slightly earlier—than—usual time of 8:30. the cost of gas and electricity for uk households has increased from today but, as we've been hearing, the rise has been cushioned by government help. although critics point out even after the intervention, prices are twice as high as last winter. our business correspondent simon browning joins me now. what should people be thinking about to try use less energy? it's a really crucial point because the energy price cap is the unit used to fix individual units for the cost of energy. the figure we've heard lots about this week is £2500, that's the average bill per household across the country. now that fixes the energy price per unit. the more units use the more you unit. the more units use the more y°u pay unit. the more units use the more you pay and it's more also for those using prepayment metres. now prices have in effect are doubled in the last year since last winter, mainly because of the war in ukraine, and a real tightening of the ene

reassurance job to do this week for her party, and that has started this morning, when she told laura kuenssbergmitted that, yes, perhaps they could have handled things better. there is an issue that interest rates are going up around the world, and we do have to face that and we do have to deal with it. but i do want to say to people that i understand their worries about what has happened this week, and i do, i do stand by the package we announced, and i stand by the fact that we announced it quickly, because we had to act. but i do accept we should have laid the ground better. i do accept that, and i have learned from that, i have learned from that, and i will make sure that in future we do a betterjob of laying the ground. now, this week is perhaps an opportunity for liz truss to do that, but every word as she says is going to be properly scrutinised here, the same as everyone said by here, the same as everyone said by her chancellor, kwasi kwarteng, not here by party members but also by people in the country, by the financial markets too, so a lot at stake in what he said this week. and the
