Uk Prime Minister, rishi sunak has refused to commit to cutting taxes after a Senior Member of his own cabinet called for them to be lowered before the next election. He was speaking in a bbc interview in manchester as the conservative Party Conference begins. Rishi sunak also refused to confirm the new multi billion pound high speed rail line, hs2, will reach manchester, as is currently planned. Our Political Editor chris mason has the details. 12 months ago rishi sunak was a loser, defeated in the race to be Prime Minister, but on the upside for him, he did get a holiday. He was an ib 13 taking it easy. Working out what to do next. He was in their two taking it easy. Today he was in burnley, lancashire, trying to come up with a game plan to avoid a loser again.

This conference is being held in what used to be a Railway Station as time and time again Rishi Sunak Ducks whether they will ever be a new high speed rail line, hs2, between here and london. You are the Prime Minister of this country. This is your decision. Is this going to happen or not . This country. This is your decision. Is this going to happen or not . 351 this going to happen or not . As i said, this going to happen or not . As i said. Weve this going to happen or not . As i said. Weve got this going to happen or not . I said, weve got spades in the ground, i wont comment on further speculation but i can tell you that we are committed to levelling up across this country. Just today we have announced a new plan to put a long term plan, actually, to focus on people in towns. Longterm plan, actually, to focus on people in towns. On people in towns. Party conferences on people in towns. Party conferences often on people in towns. Party conferences often include on people in towns. Party i conferences often include a mild splash of razzmatazz. Smiles, handshakes and rather loud music. Are you pumped to be here . The conservative are you pumped to be here . The conservative challenge, turning his energy into popularity. That was chris mason. Bbc political correspondent, nick eardley is at the conference and joins me now. Always good to talk to you. A lot of the talk today has been about taxes. Michael gove, a really big hitter, saying he wants them lowered before the next election. The pm will not commit either way. For nonpolitical types watching all of this it is really hard to know what the party line is on this. The really hard to know what the party line is on this. Line is on this. The party line is that the Conservatives Line is on this. The party line is that the conservatives want i line is on this. The party line is that the conservatives want to | that the conservatives want to reduce tax and they have said they are going to do it in the next few years but the big question is, are people going to go into the General Election promising either that they are cutting tax next year or that they have got a plan to cut tax almost immediately after. The reason it really matters is because there are a lot of conservative backbenchers, mps, who think that Rishi Sunak Needs to be a lot bolder when it comes to offering the electorate a reason to vote for the conservatives. How often do we cover just now the fact the conservatives are well behind in the polls, they are well behind in the polls, they are struggling to catch up with labour, rishi sunak is desperate to find something that will capture the political imagination. And over the next few days, i will make one firm bet that you will hear a lot of conservative mps standing up and saying we need to reduce tax now. We will probably hear the former Prime Minister, liz truss, saying that tomorrow. And although she may have disappeared a bit from the political fray she is still popular with a lot of conservatives. There is a lot of pressure on the Prime Minister to come up with something now. As you just heard on chriss piece, he is resisting it, he is resisting saying anything concrete. That means that debate is going to go on and on. You mentioned what you are expecting to hear over the next few days. Quite often at conference the most interesting discussions are the ones being held far away from the elective in the conference hall. Im just wondering if i can get a sense from you as to what is happening in those discussions, really what is the mood of the Conservative Party at the moment . You the mood of the Conservative Party at the moment . The mood of the Conservative Party at the moment . You will see a lot of eole at the moment . You will see a lot of people heading at the moment . You will see a lot of people heading to at the moment . You will see a lot of people heading to fringe at the moment . You will see a lot of people heading to fringe events i at the moment . You will see a lot of people heading to fringe events and | people heading to fringe events and bars right now but a lot of those big discussions do happen there. The honest answer is the conservative membership, activists, are looking for something to enthuse them, to take back to constituencies, to say to the electorate, look, this is our big thing we will offer at the General Election that we think can capture your vote back. That is what they want to say to ordinary voters. Rishi sunak is going to do that over the next few days, i think. You cant see them in the shot but there are lots of banners with Making Decisions for a brighterfuture. Decisions for a brighter future. Rishi decisions for a brighterfuture. Rishi sunak was saying this morning that he is prepared to make unpopular decisions for the long term interest of this country if i think i need to do so. The problem he has today is he hasnt really done that yet. He hasnt done it on tax. He hasnt been prepared to say, no, i will not cut tax. He hasnt done it with hs2 and he hasnt done it with hs2 and he hasnt told us what hes going to do with hsz hasnt told us what hes going to do with hs2 despite pressure for some clarity including from former Prime Ministers like borisjohnson and theresa may, by the way. At the moment, hes promising to get on the political front moment, hes promising to get on the politicalfront foot and moment, hes promising to get on the political front foot and he is telling members he has plans to seize the political momentum, we are just waiting to hear. I seize the political momentum, we are just waiting to hear. Just waiting to hear. I know you will keep your just waiting to hear. I know you will keep your ears just waiting to hear. I know you will keep your ears to just waiting to hear. I know you will keep your ears to the i just waiting to hear. I know you i will keep your ears to the ground for all of those meeting so we look forward to hearing what you hear. Meanwhile at the conference, uks defence secretary grant shapps, has said the uks support for the nato Military Alliance is unwavering. He confirmed plans for two new deployments. Around 200 british soldiers are being sent to the nato peacekeeping mission in kosovo. And raf typhoons are heading to poland which he said was facing continued russian aggression. There had been a request from natos Supreme Allied Commander europe. And so, i have authorised the full deployment of a Battalion Size UkStrategic Reserve force to natos Kosovo Peacekeeping mission. In the days ahead, hundreds of soldiers from the 1st battalion, the princess of wales royal regimen, willjoin the 400 British ServiceMen And Women already in kosovo. In a response to a request from our polish friends, raf typhoons are landing in poland, as i speak, to support our nato ally with the growing threat of russian interference. And elsewhere at the conservative Party Conference, the tory london mayoral candidate susan hall promised to be the first Female Labour Mayor of london in a slip of the tongue while talking about current london mayor sadiq khan. Take a listen. In 213 days time he can do whatever he likes. Its true because i will be sitting at my desk in city hall as your first female labour, no be sitting at my desk in city hall as Yourfirst Female labour, no not labour never labour Yourfirst Female london mayor. Thank you, everybody to the us now, where hardline republicans in congress say theyll try to oust the House SpeakerKevin Mccarthy, after he backed a last minute deal to avert a Us Government shutdown. The rare show of bipartisan unity late on saturday will keep federal bodies open for a further 45 days. The rare show of bipartisan unity late on saturday will keep federal bodies open for a further forty five days. But not everyone is happy. In interview on abc news, republican hardliner matt gaetz said he will be relentless in moving to oust Speaker Mccarthy over the shutdown deal. Take a listen. Injanuary, kevin in january, kevin had injanuary, kevin had agreed to a certain injanuary, kevin had agreed to a certain guardrails on spending and he to certain guardrails on spending and he to agree to a process that would allow he to agree to a process that would allow us he to agree to a process that would allow us to he to agree to a process that would allow us to put some downward pressure allow us to put some downward pressure on spending. He made that commitment, he broke it. This time next week, commitment, he broke it. This time next week, if commitment, he broke it. This time next week, if he is still speaker of the house next week, if he is still speaker of the house it will be because the democrats bailed him out and he can be their democrats bailed him out and he can be their speaker, not mine. When democrats bailed him out and he can be their speaker, not mine. When do ou make be their speaker, not mine. When do you make this be their speaker, not mine. When do you make this move . Be their speaker, not mine. When do you make this move . You be their speaker, not mine. When do you make this move . You will be their speaker, not mine. When do you make this move . You will be i you make this move . You will be seeinr it you make this move . You will be seeing it this you make this move . You will be seeing it this week. Well as you might expect, Speaker Mccarthy has been defiant. Hitting back at Congressman Gaetz in an interview on cbs. He says he is coming for you. Can you survive . He says he is coming for you. Can you survive . Yes. This is personal with him you survive . Yes. This is personal with him he you survive . Yes. This is personal with him. He voted you survive . Yes. This is personal with him. He voted against you survive . Yes. This is personal with him. He voted against the i you survive . Yes. This is personal i with him. He voted against the most conservative ability to protect our border, secure our border. Hes more interested in securing Tv Interviews than doing something. He wanted to push us into a shutdown, even threatening his own district with all of the military people there who wouldnt be paid, only because he wants to take this motion. So be it. Lets governing and take it on. President joe biden has also expressed disappointment about the contents of the deal, particularly the lack of funding for ukraine. Speaking in the last hour, he welcomed the short Term Extension that ensures American Government services can continue and workers will be paid, but assured ukraine that they have the unwavering support of the united states. I want to assure our american allies, americans, and the people of ukraine, that we can count on that you can count on our support. Democrats, republicans, senate and house, we support helping ukraine in the brutal aggression that has been thrust against them by russia. Stop playing games. Get this done. Live now to our North America correspondent sean dilley. For people outside of the us, it is really difficult to get your head around how the system works and the bartering and the deals that go on to try and make it work and here we are weve seen it again. Are weve seen it again. Thats ri. Ht. Are weve seen it again. Thats right first are weve seen it again. Thats right. First of are weve seen it again. Thats right. First of all are weve seen it again. Thats right. First of all i are weve seen it again. Thats right. First of all i have are weve seen it again. Thats right. First of all i have to i are weve seen it again. Thats right. First of all i have to say | right. First of all i have to say that matt gaetz� s actions, we are not shocked, hes been threatening it since day one. He is a florida representative, a republican, and one of the nine hardliners who have been strong arming the speaker. Earlier this month, i believe it was the 12th of september, last month, sorry, its the 1st of october, he had said on the floor in the House Of Representatives that the house is seeking absolute compliance from the speaker to remove him. That is an interesting concept if you are used to watching the british, canadian, australian house of commons, but this is a merry dance they do quite frequently. Each Year Congress as a whole, thats the House Of Representatives and the upper chamber, the senate, has to approve government spending. This is sort of what happens when one bit of the government is ruled by different bits. You have democratic, the white house, joe biden, and a small majority in both houses, 51 to 49 in the senate, and 241 to 212 republican majority. There are quite a lot more republicans gunning for Kevin Mccarthy, so this is not at all surprising. Kevin mccarthy, so this is not at all surprising all surprising. Thank you for explaining all surprising. Thank you for explaining the all surprising. Thank you for explaining the process. I all surprising. Thank you for explaining the process. We | all surprising. Thank you for i explaining the process. We have all surprising. Thank you for explaining the process. We have the Kevin Mccarthy issue but the other issueis Kevin Mccarthy issue but the other issue is the issue of ukraine and we saw a lot of mizzen and ski in the us last week and the commitment from joe biden appears to be there. And we saw president zelensky in the us last week. And we saw president zelensky in the us last week us last week. Very much like many legislators. Us last week. Very much like many legislators, laws us last week. Very much like many legislators, laws and us last week. Very much like many legislators, laws and rules us last week. Very much like many legislators, laws and rules are i legislators, laws and rules are passed by those three elements. Thats the president , the senate, and House Of Representatives, and congress, altogether. He can promise to try and deliver that funding. I dont think there is much doubt that the funding would eventually be released to the ukraine. But Kevin Mccarthy had to do a lot of backroom deals with democratic politicians to say, look, we need to keep the government open. We will bring in the next coming days the bill to congress to have a look at what funding we can do. You have to look at it in the context of the bill that was pushed through yesterday which meant there was no funding to the ukraine at all. That was contrary to an early resolution that was proposed by the senate, the upper chamber, which would have released money. This is the reality, and matt gaetz knows this, as do the other hardliners, democratic politicians dont really like Kevin Mccarthy. He is a fairly despised person in capitol hill it must be said. But they will grit their teeth and back him because even though they are very irritated with him for calling an Impeachment Inquiry into joe biden without holding a vote first, which he promised to do so, so he has been egged on a promise to them, they will back him through gritted teeth because no Kevin Mccarthy means no funding bill for ukraine. Thank you for, well, just explaining that. It is quite a complicated situation but thank you for explaining it so well. Always good to talk to you.

Itll be a very important moment because we are going towards belarus. We are losing democracy. Do you feel like democracy is in danger under this government . Of course. I think it is not a matter of feeling it is a fact, right . Isnt it . We are becoming not a european country. We are going towards, like, a different direction, and it is, well, we cannot allow that, that is why we are here. They are worried, they say the governing law and Justice Party is a threat to democracy, that they are eroding basic rights and principles here such as the rule of law, the freedom of the media. And many people here believe that if the ruling party, law and justice, remain in power then in fact polands position within the eu is in danger, and thats why so many people have come out today carrying the european flags, as well. A fundamental vote as far as these people are concerned. The ruling party, law and justice, they do have a lot of support. This is a very closely fought election and there is a Big Rally Today In Southern Poland for the governing party. But these people are here to send a very strong message ahead of that vote that it is time to decide polands future, they say, to keep its future within europe.

Stay with us here on bbc news. Good evening. Weve had some lovely spells of sunshine across scotland and Northern Ireland, but the Weather Front has been hanging around most of the weekend. Weve got excess of 50 mm of rain in north wales and north west england. We saw a heavier pulse of rain working up towards and across wales in the middle of the day and then moving toward the north. It is sinking southwards. Late afternoon brightness. Really, weve got a lot of cloud through the night. Misty and murky conditions, it has been quite murky around the coast and hills, southern and western areas. You can see why it will be another humid night. Drizzly rain around even though the Weather Front is weakening as we go through the night. Temperatures are well above october averages. On monday it will still be here. Another pulse of rain will be there. Showers to the north and west, but at least some sunshine across england and wales, misty and foggy in those areas, that is something to watch out for any morning rush is well over the hills. That weather invigorating as we go through the day, further pulses of rain with it, and to the south further heavy thundery downpours, hit and miss, slow moving with the light winds, but warm in between and feeling pleasant in between the showers further east and across north east england, Eastern Scotland and north east ireland. But through spots in scotland and england and wales through tomorrow evening and tomorrow night, some debate as to how far north it is going to travel, that heavy rain, but it should clear through tuesday and as pressure starts to build we have more of a west north westerly wind. The Big Change On Tuesday is a fresher feel, we lose that humid air, a warm night in the south, but sunny spells and scattered showers, quite a breezy day as you can see from the isobars, but as the pressure builds hopefully fewer showers in the afternoon and it should feel pleasant enough, 16 19, but it will feel fresher, we have lost that humidity in the south, at least temporarily. Tuesday into wednesday, we have our next Weather Front rolling in off the atlantic, wetter weather in the evening and overnight for scotland, then it becomes slow moving through parts of Northern Ireland and north wales and to the south of that early mist clearing, to the north a scattering of showers.
