this is not a spending review as we know it.andbook of opinion poll politics. what are the top three or four issues in the polls? they have cynicallyjudged how little money they have to throw around to try and neutralise those issues and the concerns of people. so to come here and to try and fool us with references to people's priorities is beyond irony. when did this extremist right wing tory group ever put the people first? ever. where they putting the people first when they putting the people first when they froze child benefit year after year? or introducing universal credit, a brutal regime, the result this summer according to the childhood trust was children scavenging for food in bins. because they didn't have free school meals in the summer holidays. where they putting people first when they cut council budgets and prevented 1 million elderly and disabled people getting the social care they needed? but they putting people first when they cut social services budgets, so much that we now have record numbers of children com

four years since last spending review. mited to one year, so it will give clarity to departments about the short to medium term spending and ‘the real deal‘ is going to be announced in a year‘s time, according to the government. and how much of an interest is there going to be in this given what we have going on in parliament, is it going to be carefully watched? a lot of it has already been announced. and if the chancellor is going to stick to the chancellor is going to stick to the fiscal rules, he has got very limited room to spend extra money. and therefore, the importance to the economy as a whole may be a little bit limited. 0k, chief economist at kpmg yael selfin, thank you for that analysis. the spending review to be announced by new chancellor sajid javid in a few moments. he has been inajob fora javid in a few moments. he has been in a job for a few weeks so interesting to hear what he says and interesting to hear what he says and interesting whether there will be new announcements given what we have heard over th

these red bars show the spending reviews since the financial crisis — when the government's debts shotut sajid javid argues the interest rates on the government's debts are cheap now — so he can afford to borrow more for extra spending. every single government department has had its budgets for day to day spending increased, at least in line with inflation. that's what i mean by the end of austerity, mr speaker. britain's hard work paying off. our country living within its means. able to spend more on the things that matter. instead, we get this sham of a spending review. they are claiming to be against austerity after years of voting for it. they are claiming to be using head room, which he knows is largely disappeared. and, yet, they are still failing to deliver real end to austerity. whilst spending on the nhs will rise by £6.2 billion next year, most of that is not new money, it had already been announced by the previous chancellor, philip hammond. but, there is an extra £3 billion for schools and further education, a boost of £2.2 billion for the armed forces, and three quarters o

instead, we get this sham of a spending review. the chancellor has announced increased spending today, this will not help end austerity. it will only pause some of the hardship in the short term. meanwhile, brexit will bring a lasting and long—term damage to our livelihoods. the independent watchdog, the office for budget responsibility, said just two months ago that a no deal brexit would add £30 billion a year for the next four years to public borrowing. ed davey. well, then it was on to the day's main business — that bill forcing the prime minister in the hope —— to ask for an extension to the brexit deadline in the hope of averting a no deal brexit. a number of mps who'd had the conservative whip withdrawn following the previous night's rebellion spoke. one former conservative foreign office minister said he was proud but slightly bemused to now be an independent. i will leave with the best of memories of this place, of friends collagues, and the eu, of our sister centre—right parties, and many friends, and it may have curtaile

you talk about elections, it is all about elections, the most generous spending review since the heightborisjohnson says, if that isn't looking at an election what is? a lot of people will be thinking 3.5 billion for councils and social care, hurray. it's building up to the details of a ma nifesto building up to the details of a manifesto at least but how big a risk is this because you could argue a lot of people may think boris johnson is doing this from a position of weakness. if you look at opinion polls, the conservatives are strikingly ahead now but we all know opinion polls versus reality, but right now he has momentum because if the rebels think they can force an election but if that election means he comes back with a bigger majority, what is the point? these polls project perceived strength or wea kness polls project perceived strength or weakness and right now he's playing every card he can get to get through the next few days but it's not as if, if he succeeds he's home and dry but he has battle with brussels and then another battle with his party so the chances of all these

got the low at the moment they're all talking money after the chancellor he's discussing his spending review but it's all cranking up towards those votes and those debates later this afternoon this evening or about whether or not they can stop and no deal whether there could be a general election here in the u.k. . a region in belgium has passed legislation that bans traditional ways of slaughtering animals for the muslim and jewish faiths and kosher slaughter requires the other ones to be alive and healthy they're killed by having their throats cut restyling is not always used which is why the practice has been banned in several e.u. countries new law in belgium has prompted much debate but our welfare groups say the law is not about targeting religions. it is absolutely not a ban on religious slaughter not at all it is a ban on slaughter without stunning even if you follow all the rules and use a very sharp blade and you do everything according to religious tradition even then the animal will suffer i think the bounds of more to do with the 2 legged animals than with the 4 legged ones if t

instead we get this sham on a spending review. he news it's largely disappeared. l—time cuts made by the conservatives since 2010. kirsty blackman of the snp was equally dismissive. i have to say the gimmicks and gems the chancellor has presented is nothing more than ever to distract us from the crippling crisis of this government and mr speaker, if that was meant to bea and mr speaker, if that was meant to be a pre—election budget, i would be quaking in my boots. this will not help and austerity. at a time of world slowdown. a boost to the economy is much needed here and this is part of that boost. isn't it the case that head teachers, chief co nsta bles the case that head teachers, chief constables and nhs managers simply can't rely on the chancellor's nancy eggers if britain crashes out of the eu? mr speaker, the independent watchdog, the office for budget responsibility, said just two months ago, that no deal brexit would add £30 billion a year for the ago, that no deal brexit would add £30 billion a yearfor the next ago, that no deal brexit would add £30 billi

plan, spending review announced that will increase significantly spending on day-to-day activities. we're joined now by the economic secretary of the treasury john glenn. the chancellor was chided by the speaker many times for making it too political. this was bad an election, wasn't it? i think the previous chancellor, i worked under both of them, and the speaker's interventions are quite random. this was about saying we turned the page as a country through the stewardship of the economy or the last nine years. we got to where the deficit is now 1.1%. we are now addressing the people's priority. that means significant more investment for police, for education, of nhs. vonnie: that sounds like something -- guy: that's house like something you would say in advance of an election. >> i think the prime minister is being very clear what we're totally focused on is getting out of the eu we want a deal to achieve that. brusselsrs are asking today. what we see happening in parliament at this moment is an attempt and to get all the cards to the eu to determine when we leave. when really wha

potentially, there was a time when the spending review would be on the front page of most papers but e have such big events overtaking it. sajid javid, there's a spending splurge, by conservative standards. the areas it is going, it is areas where the tories want to focus on an election, where they are vulnerable. in the snap election, mps felt they were punished by not funding certain things enough, the nhs, law and order. i think there is i hope that they will win seats in the midlands, in the north, areas that voted heavily to leave. areas that traditionally voted labour, some seats that have never turned blue. we are out of time for now but we will talk about the papers later. we'll be back at 11:30pm for another look at the papers. we'll have more on our top story at 11pm. wednesday was a very blustery day up and down the country, especially the north and west my gusts up to 60 mph and feeling quite chilly. today is looking better because pressure coming in from the atlantic, so fewer showers and less windy. that's the low on wednesday, quite breezy in northern and eastern areas,

but you know, he specifically chose this police backdrop because yesterday the government had a spending reviewolice and the home office, the biggest increase in spending for at least 50 years. £750 million extra for the police, an immediate recruitment drive to get 2000 in by march and then... sorry, 2000 in by march and then... sorry, 2000 quickly in the first year, these 20,000 extra police officers that boris johnson these 20,000 extra police officers that borisjohnson has promised. so it is more money than has been put into the service for quite some time, and that is why he chose this backdrop. obviously you can see it is quite unusual to have a prime minister in front of rows of police officers like that. but it was specific extra funding for the police, so i don't think it is com pletely police, so i don't think it is completely out of order to go and do something like that. and the conservatives have strategies, they have a focus group this, they know people want to hear about government getting on with things, —— they have focus—grouped this. but he floundered badly on his brexit mess

instead, we get this sham of a spending review.ich he knows has largely disappeared. and yet they are still failing to deliver a real end to austerity. these extra funds are laser—focused on key voter concerns, for example, subsidised bus services, and are clearly designed to help the government's chances in any election. but opposition parties said it was a small reversal of the impact of cuts over the past decade that ignored a hit from brexit plans. while the chancellor has announced increased spending today, this will not help end austerity. it will only pause some of the hardship in the short term. meanwhile, brexit will bring lasting and long—term damage to our economy and to our livelihoods. head teachers, chief constables and nhs managers simply can't rely on the chancellor's fancy figures if britain crashes out of the eu. but the government is loosening the purse strings. it will also take some time for the effect of this cash to be seen in our schools, courts, prisons and care homes. rescuers have begun to reach areas of

the chancellor, sajid javid, will announce a spending review later today.r fiscal studies. he's been speaking to dominic o'connell on the bbc‘s today programme this morning. dominic asked him how much more headroom the chancellor has to increase spending. well, it depends how he defines his headroom, but he's probably got a bit more space to increase money on local government and social care and one or two other things. if you look at the forecasts back in the spring, they suggest he could increase spending next year by about £15 billion relative to what his plans were and that does leave a reasonable amount of money around. he's put significant money into schools and further education, he's announced some money for prisons and defence. there is more money there. he could, ithink, say, look, i really have finally ended austerity today. i'm increasing spending right across the board. the problem for him — in terms of, can he afford it? — is all of that will be based on forecasts made back in march. this is a big fiscal event with no report from his independe

particularly the case when the chancellor yesterday failed to even mention the midlands rail hub in his spending reviewpeatedly assured us that hsz would happen, but also cancelled the electrification of the midland mainline. a pleasure to have the question from the transport select committee chair. the one thing i can assure is that this £48 billion of other unrelated rail investment over the next few years, so both the midlands in the northern powerhouse rail side of things will certainly have huge, massive investments. grant shapps there. now to the lords, where peers began their debate on the bill extending the brexit deadline which was passed in the commons on wednesday night. it requires the prime minister to write to the eu asking for an extension until the end of january if there's no fresh deal, or parliament has not agreed to accept a no deal exit by 19 0ctober. meanwhile, peers had been having a battle of their own, as brexiteers tried to use a series of votes to take up time in an attempt to stop the bill ever getting to the wicket in the lords. in the end, they backed down, accepting it wo

having a dreadful time his ministers are not doing particularly well in the commons subject javid spending review did not go down particularly well some of his other ministers have had to apologize for gaffes this week as you said his own brother resign from the government announced he was standing down as an m.p. because he just couldn't stand by and watch what was going on any longer so the opposition are certainly going to try and drag this out for as long as possible. but they also have a difficult case to make they have been calling for a general election for years and now they're being offered one. they're kind of struggling to make the case for why the they won't take the opportunity straight away but essentially it comes down to the opposition not trusting boris johnson the shadow chancellor john mcdonnell said this week that they didn't trust him that no no promise that he made on having an election in october would be sufficient for them and told this extension has been taken they are not going to give him his way and how we. saw it e.u. leaders be looking at this because they haven't g

we are supposed to have a three—year spending review so we have no idea of what will happen afterwardsorge osborne had before. so supposedly moving towards a balanced budget but this may not happen. what he has done is within the headroom he thinks he has at the moment he has allowed for extra spending of about 1k billion plus a little on infrastructure so all departments get a first time in ages increase that he already told us ages increase that he already told us this over the last few weeks. basically schools are getting more, the nhs has already had some idea. some of it is extra and we have to look and see how much of that perhaps is a repeat of what has been said earlier and already assume. in reality, he has to do that because the economy has been slowing quite significantly and if the government does not put money in it will grow even more slowly and if anything the fear is that we will have a contraction in the next few months and possibly within a year if we leave with no deal although that is less likely. and you hear a headline figure of £14 billion and that sounds like an

no, because as we said earlier normally these spending reviews would be a lot bigger, and three yearsich might be coming. it is an opportunity for the government to tell us about great spending it might do. if there was an election, they may have different plans after that. so there is a lot of uncertainty around these spending plans as well, never mind uncertainty generally. which makes it very tricky for people working in all of these areas because they don't know what they will won't be getting. definitely, and it is those prisons, schools and hospitals who will be looking at this. there may bea will be looking at this. there may be a boost, but maybe not for as long as they would have liked it to be. we will see you a little bit later in the programme, and we will be going back alive to westminster shortly. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london, i'm alice salfield. two london mps have been expelled from the conservative party after they voted against the government last night. justine greening and stephen hammond are effectively b

plenty more going on with prime minister's questions, a spending review. lots to watch.inue with anna edwards. we just saw the prime minister the 10 downing street. there are so many ways to take this. one of the things that fascinates me is how you fold today's debate into the idea that parliament still will be suspended in a few days. explain the historic time compression we have got between september 4 and september 9. so we have seen that the government has decided they want orogue parliament, suspended eventually -- suspended it -- suspend it eventually. parliament is not entirely suspended. there are different sides of that argument. the johnson government said they were proroguing parliament so they could push through their domestic agenda. it has been historic. other governments have proro gued in controversy. john major did so back in 1997. that did not play well for him in the end. nejra: thank you so much to anna edwards. mike gallagher of continuum economics stays with us. you have been weighing out the probabilities of what happens next. what is your base ca

is set to grow by about 13 billion, £14 billion, a big increase in spending announced in the spending reviewthat we are moving towards a relatively gradual increase in spending under this government and some genuine focus on infrastructure. saudi arabia's crown prince has said he takes ‘full responsibility‘ for the murder of saudi journalist jamal khashoggi — but denies allegations that he ordered the killing. in an interview with cbs's 60 minutes, mohammed bin salman said that mr khashoggi's death was a ‘mistake' by agents of the saudi government. he was killed in saudi arabia's consulate in turkey in october last year. now, members of a un investigation team have told the bbc‘s panorama of the ‘horror‘ and shock of listening to his final moments. panorama's jane corbin is with me now. you have made a panorama which will be going out, tell us more about what you have been looking into?m you remember that jamal khashoggi was a prominent critic of the saudi government. he was living in exile in america, writing columns for the washington post. he was in istanbul in the last few weeks of his l

we are pleased to see it come on top of the 160 million that came in the spending review. course, the scottish national party are saying that he is returning to the scene of the crime like a thief, of the prime minister. they say it is too little too late. i think the line which is a bit on the strong side. it is definitely correcting a wrong, which is the way we see it, but we should look forward to being able to see this —— use this in the industry. it is to get scottish food and drink up to £30 million, and as farmers, we need to be there to do that, and we are currently going through a fairly torrid time. the uncertainty of brexit is adding to that, so there is an opportunity to put some resilience into our industry and aim for the target of £30 billion. you met the prime minister today, what was your message to him on election timing, brexit timing, and all the rest of out? i was maybe selfishly being a bit more focused, i was trying to get the message across. i thanked him for the money, but he was determined to try to get a deal out of this. but if we do not get a d

there is no way 2 thirds could be achieved and yet an election unavoidable now looking at the spending review earlier today the chancellor of the new terms of the sunday job that promising a decade of renewal rebuilding a global britain this is already a party on an election footing isn't it oh yeah absolutely the stories are an election for you can argue they have been ever since boris johnson became prime minister you could say the whole of august was a battle scene setting making it look like i want to negotiate the e.u. or negotiate with me they're being unreasonable the 2nd plank of that strategy in a way fell into place last night boris johnson can say i would have got a deal of stop me and it seems to me that that is the platform he will stand on the problem he faces is he's lost control over the timing of a general election and that's crucial labor what in this general election to come later why because they want the sights of the prime minister going to brussels and asking for an extension you get a photo of that you send its inaugural far as you say do your worst and thrash the tori

let's talk a bit about yesterday's spending review, it was quite extraordinary.t of political stories yesterday. but how has business been reacting to what sajid javid had to say? it is interesting because also, this would have been a big dealfor business, a 4.1 increase in spending, an extra 13 billion, just in one year. normally, this would have been a very big deal. it was welcomed, but the director—general of the cbi has been out and about this morning talking about the spending round and the general situation and she said, it was all overshadowed by businesses preparing for a no—deal brexit because even if a no—deal brexit looks less likely, she said businesses still had to prepare for the october 31st eventuality of a no—deal brexit. still lots of stockpiling and spending and uncertainty out there. so these big numbers on spending overshadowed like everything by brexit. very interesting also, chancellor sajid javid said what businesses really feared was a cup in government. carolyn fairbairn was asked about that this morning and she was equivocal —— a jerem

we have a spending review as well to consider. celsius at the minute. we will be back with you throughout the morning. our temperatures are not that extreme. but there is a hurricane on the way. hurricane dorian, 180 miles per hour. incredible to hear an excessive flooding as well. those winds actually topped 200 miles an hour as it went across one of the islands. the satellite image, this is where it got the highest in the atmosphere, and the red where we see the heaviest of the rain. 180 miles per hour the winds, 50 miles around that centre 45 miles out hurricane force winds. the strongest ever to hit the bahamas and the second strongest in terms of wind. slow—moving, eight—month worth of rain into the bahamas in a few days and it will push northwards and westwards. the most likely track with the strongest of winds will be along this line but these storms have a tendency to wobble one way or the other which is why people in florida are concerned it could make landfall, also the carolinas, and it could have a devastating effect.

then we have a spending review being sent out by the relatively new chancellor of the exchequer. the voteay, we see that was being built up to yesterday on whether to block no deal. it is what happens after that that is going to be of particular interest. if the government loses that vote on blocking the deal, will vote ontinue to bring a whether to hold a general election? they've already been told by the labor of the labour party and the leader of the liberal democrats that until there is legislation that passes, and that perhaps mean passing all of the houses, there won't be a general election because boris johnson can't call one all by himself. he needs 2/3 of mps to back him, and that means relying on an opponents that won't back a general election unless they are sure that no deal is taken off the table. david: thank you for that report. back in the united states, federal reserve bank of boston president eric rosengren said the u.s. economy remains relatively strong despite heightened risk, saying in part, "if the consumer continues to spend and global conditions do not tea

the actual taking control will happen tomorrow after the spending review at 3:00 p.m. francine: that is basically calling election. it would be difficult for the opposition to say i disagree with everything you do, but we don't want to go to the election. jess: we are in a situation where everyone is calling everyone else's bluff. boris johnson is saying if you try to make me delay brexit, you are leading the country down the road and that is not what i want. francine: what is priced in the market right now? does anyone out there still give the eu could just boris johnson a deal he could pastor parliament? james: i don't think many do. it doesn't seem government is preparing to negotiate, is really asking the eu for anything specific. i know there have been conversations task with the latest data play is but for me, it doesn't look like those have gone on. what is priced in terms of the market, we have a decent amount of no deal priced but we could see evidence in today's moves. we are not all the way to know deal and not as extreme as we could get. i do think the risk

none of this will be fixed by sajid javid when he delivers his conjob pre—election spending review thisledge put out by him or anyone else in number 10 only proves labour‘s point that austerity is a political choice that has caused huge suffering and damaged our economy in the process. and if javid‘s own staff can‘t trust him to protect them, what faith can workers across the country have in the chancellor of the exchequer? labour, in contrast, does have a serious and practical plan to get our economy working in every town, city, nation and region of our country with a record investment blitz. there are £250 billion national transformation fund, which john mcdonnell, £250 billion national transformation fund, whichjohn mcdonnell, sitting here today, who is leading the way on, has said will be based outside of london in the north. it will power a massive upgrade to our infrastructure, from transport to energy to broadband. let mejust illustrate the scale of what we are proposing. johnson, in his first days as prime minister, announced with great fanfare and a lot of hype a towns fund of
