i spoke to people in whitehall- spoke to people in whitehall who were involved in the investigation ons daisy was saying he was a long serving backbench mp not someone who ever sought ministerial high office and wasjust very ever sought ministerial high office and was just very content being a great champion for his constituency. but there is an intriguing story on the front page of the times that says his close ties to qatar are being investigated by the police. they said all avenues are being looked at through this investigation. and we know that the man who has been arrested for his, although not charge for his murder is the son of former prime minister adviser in somalia. it is work to a net worth noting that qatar backs the somalian president. it's not necessarily a clear geopolitical link that could be put forward whatever reasoning was behind this absolutely dreadful act here. it's been a huge amount of bafflement. i think this speaks to a wider question about loan will terrorists. this is the thing that british security and citizens are always most fearful of because it's so ha

with me are the broadcaster, daisy mcandrew and the financial times whitehall editor, sebastian paynelet's take a look at some of tomorrow's front pages, starting with... let's start with the metro and an emotional message from the family of sir david amess. they say they're "absolutely broken" by his killing, urging everyone to set hatred aside and work towards togetherness. the front page of the i also carries the words of sir david amess�* family who said that their �*hearts are shattered'. meanwhile, home secretary priti patel confirms new measures to improve mps�* safety. according to the daily mail, sir david's alleged killer had been referred to a deradicalisation scheme which aims to stop individuals becoming terrorirst. it raises questionss on whether an oppotunity to stop him was missed. in the telegraph — intelligence agencies are warning of a potential new wave of attacks by terrorists radicalised while spending months at home during the pandemic. the guardian says that companies who are sponsoring next month's cop26 climate summit in glasgow have raised formal complaints

when it comes to lots of policy issues, there are certain documents that can only be read within whitehallople to get back to the office to help businesses as cities grow back after the pandemic, but also the fact there is still a blame game over what went wrong over the fall of kabul and why britain failed to get so many out of the country and the fact fingers are being pointed weeks after shows there is growing concern within the government that maybe there should be some sort of official enquiry that looks into what went wrong. what is your view because it _ went wrong. what is your view because it has _ went wrong. what is your view because it has gone _ went wrong. what is your view because it has gone quiet? - went wrong. what is your view| because it has gone quiet? the erson in because it has gone quiet? the person in this _ because it has gone quiet? the person in this crisis, the foreign secretary— person in this crisis, the foreign secretary then dominic raab, who refused _ secretary then dominic raab, who refused to— secretary then dominic raab, who refused to come home from hi

whitehall sources have confirmed for the bbc his name is ali harbi ali of somali heritage.during a constituency surgery on friday. you�*re watching bbc news. now it�*s time for a look at the weather with chris. we had an early patch or two of rain across eastern areas of england. the cloud is well broken across northern scotland and that was one of the sunniest places in the country today and later we saw the cloud base across southern england, wales and the midlands and east anglia to give sunny spells but pretty cloudy for some across northern england and lot of cloud throughout the day in northern ireland whereas over recent hours we have seen rain arrive and that they know make inroads. it will push eastwards over the next few hours so the rain is turning heavier and more persistent. it might squeeze out the odd patch of rain, light rain across southern wales and east england but otherwise ten largely dry in the south—east. temperatures overnight are mild. relatively cool row just about clinging on across parts of scotland where it should be a fine start for orkney and

everything you need to know about some of the internal battles going on within downing street and whitehalltist. we're already facing a cost—of—living crisis with energy bills shooting up, with shortages potentially, with new taxes coming in. the government decided to increase inference — — insurance and people coming off her window. — — furlough. the government may have to rethink. with all of those factors which are really squeezing the very, very poorest in society the most, to then think about introducing a tax on food when many people can't afford the more expensive, highly processed plant —based alternatives, that's not a fight i think the government wants to have at this moment. it’s to have at this moment. it's difficult because _ to have at this moment. it's difficult because it's trying to get a message of how important this is and how important changes, but it doesn't want to find the horses. exactly. and i think there are ways to try and encourage a change in behaviour and diet. it's quite a blunt way of doing that and a lot of the conservative backbenchers who are serious about

sr what story suggests is that there are discussions in whitehall and jcvi about cutting this wait timesterjab if that change were to happen now, and that would double the number of people who are eligible. there's a number of things to note about this — this is really set against a high rate of covid in the uk at the moment, so this would be one strategy through which to protect people and reduce the chance of even more hospitalisations at the moment. but this needs to be set in context — while the vaccine is incredibly important in the uk, there is also a global angle to this as well, and whenever we talk about this, it's really important to recognise the huge numbers of people around the world that are not vaccinated because of countries like the uk and elsewhere, like richer countries. no one is safe until everyone is safe, that's really important. but this is one part of an approach, and you'll hear a lot of talk over the past few days about the government saying they won't put in operation plan b — mbappe or two things they could be doing at the moment. one is making sure people a

whitehall sources have confirmed for the bbc his name is ali harbi ali of somali heritage.e some of us did get decent sunshine through saturday the best of it is across southern england. on the far north of scotland as well. but later in the day we did see some rain start to come down around the dunblane area and thatis around the dunblane area and that is the first sign of this band of rain showing up. her neighbour scotland, northern england, getting into north wales is one even further over the next few hours it will probably pick up a few patches of rain leaving across the midlands, east anglia, south—east england, layer largely drive. i'll start the day on sunday. legacies like the cool there were still clinging on across the far north of scotland where should be a bright start but otherwise extensive cloud to start the day on sunday. the rain initially heavy scotland but turning my temp at your pretty heavy the morning. these areas will be prone to spots of rain even into the afternoon so for some it will stay on the downside and at the same time we should start to se

whitehall officials confirmed the suspect is ali harbi ali, a british national of somali heritage wholondon police station under the terrorism act. he was referred to the government's prevent scheme a few years ago, the programme designed to stop people being radicalised. but he's not thought to have been considered a subject of interest by mi5. now, urgent calls to keep mps safe. this weekend, already, changes, such as in south wales, with a police guard for an mp's coffee morning. some say this needs to be the norm. there has not been, to my knowledge, a discreet police presence at most of those events, and i realise that that's an issue that will increase levels of resource for the police, but surely it is something which ought to be on the table. but neither do those in politics want it to impact the way they represent the people they serve. even when you canvass, you get various people that are for you and others that are against you, but you take it, you have debates. democracy is action. that is what this is happening. that's the sad thing about what happened on friday. meanwhi

so whether it is for the police, the courts, health, defence or any other kind of public service, whitehall will be more generous to every corner of government in the next three years. there will be a real terms rise in overall spending for every single department. if anybody still doubts it, today's budget confirms the conservatives are the real party of public services. quite the claim, given years of tory squeeze, and tension as the chancellor cut taxes on some flights and froze duty on fueljust days before the government hosts a climate conference in glasgow. but this seeming generosity isn't completely straightforward. there were wild cheers for the chancellor allowing some families on universal credit to keep more of their cash, even though it won't cover what many more have already lost. this is a £2 billion tax cut for the lowest—paid workers in our country. it supports working families, it helps with the cost of living and it rewards work. this was a high—spend, high—tax budget — not that you'd believe it from listening to this. government has limits. government should have limits.

trying to say that we love business and it is important, but he seems to be saying, stop blaming whitehallhen you heard the prime minister's comments this morning, it is clear what he is saying, he's saying we are not going back to the economic model we had before, which relied on low—skilled, cheap labour coming from across europe. that buttressed large parts of the uk economy, from hospitality to farming, including hgv drivers as well, and his message is that what needs to happen is wages need to go up, and that is probably a message that is popular with voters, but as sam was just saying, the crucial thing is the disruption here. the chancellor said in an interview on saturday that this could take several months to get better and we could see disruptions throughout christmas, and i think people at the conference here today will be happy to see that, but people in the outside world, i do not know how long they will stomach this. the prime minister has made it very clear, he is not going to put more visas or have more migration and toughing that out as a way of putting it is interesting s

what you can read in two weeks' time, steely determination to attend the remembering service on whitehalln i say thatis 14th of november. the reason i say that is not only because the palace has said it is herfirm intention to do so, but this fortnight essentially gives her a couple of weeks now of not travelling, not meeting people, only carrying out virtual engagements, light desk —based duties to recover from what seems like a bout of fatigue. you know, she's carried out three different engagements in the last three days. she has smiled broadly through a couple of them. she doesn't appear to be actually unwell as many of us would see ads, but she has clearly been a bit too tired to do travel, either to northern ireland, that was cancelled last week or two glasgow, that was cancelled this week. the doctors have said no my travel for a couple of weeks. she will miss the festival of weeks. she will miss the festival of remembrance that happens on the evening before remembered sunday, but she will get to remember and sunday, and the reason i hang on about this is because it is absolutely t
