44 year old man has been arrested on suspicion of wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm. The xl bully dog was destroyed at the scene. Police say in order to make sure the safety of the public. We will bring you many developments. Lets turn to the conservative Party Conference in manchester where in just over an hours time, the Prime Minister is expected to confirm that the part of europes biggest Infrastructure Project the h52 high speed rail line connecting london to the north of england will not be built as planned. Costs have risen and the train line, which is already being built from london to birmingham, will not continue onto manchester. Hs2 trains will still run to the city, but on slower existing tracks, defence secretary grant shapps said earlier. The route from birmingham to leeds has already been scrapped. Lets get more reaction about the future of the h52 rail link. Frances read is at euston which is the designated terminus in london. What has the response been to this latest development . What has the response been to this latest development . Well, we arent sure exactly latest development . Well, we arent sure exactly what latest development . Well, we arent sure exactly what rishi latest development . Well, we arent sure exactly What Rishi Sunak latest development . Well, we arent sure exactly What Rishi Sunak is sure exactly What Rishi Sunak is going to say but reports have suggested that rishi sunak would give the go ahead for the terminus to be at euston rather than terminating in the Western Suburbs of london, some six miles to the west of london at Old Oak Common station. That had been a rumour that maybe it would be cut short even in london, that it wouldnt reach euston. Many people in manchester will know euston is the main hub that you come into. Reports in various newspapers this morning suggested there was some pressure from within the cabinet and also from within the cabinet and also from jeremy hunt as well to make sure that the line went all the way into Central London rather than ending in the west of london where people with then presumably have had to get the Elizabeth Line into Central London or similar. People have said that his fair economics, or potentially for optics as well but also questions about whether that suburban station six miles west of london would have even been able to cope as a terminus as well, being a suburban station. The decision that well hear later is a really big deal for many. That well hear later is a really big dealfor many. Normally we that well hear later is a really big deal for many. Normally we would ask people coming into manchester but there is a train strike on today. Its still a very, very big deal for many people. There today. Its still a very, very big dealfor many people. There is real and potential scrapping of the hs2 line from the West Midlands to manchester has been met with scathing criticism already from some people are manchester, not least from the mayor of Manchester Andy burnham who said ditching the link would be a permanent statement to people in the north that they were second class citizens when it came to transport. That gives you the idea of some of the Conversations Being had. Idea of some of the Conversations Bein had. ~ i live now to the Conference Venue in manchester and our Political Correspondent nick eardley. Details still to come, well have to see what the Prime Minister says but is there anything he could put forward as an alternative which will meet and silence the criticism that hes had for the potential of scrapping this leg of the hs2 line in the first place . Hat scrapping this leg of the h52 line in the first place . In the first place . Not all of it. The prime in the first place . Not all of it. The Prime Minister in the first place . Not all of it. The Prime Minister is in the first place . Not all of it. The Prime Minister is going. In the first place . Not all of it. The Prime Minister is going to | the Prime Minister is going to announce in his speech that original plan for a high speed rail link between birmingham and manchester isnt happening. There will be i suspect some sort of scheme that means the trains can go all the way to manchesterjust knocked on a high speed line. And for many leaders in the north of england and actually for a lot of conservatives too, that is a bit of a betrayal of certain parts of the country. People like andy burnham, the mayor of greater manchester, are furious that hsz greater manchester, are furious that hs2 isnt going to reach this city. The West Midlands mayor andy street is furious that the plans have been scaled back. We should point out that there are a lot of people who think hsz that there are a lot of people who think hs2 was always going to be too expensive. There are conservative mps around here we had speaking on the Bbc News Channel over the past couple of days who think this is a sensible decision. What some are looking for is how the money that we think is going to be saved is going to be spent. My expectation is the Prime Minister will have some sort of package, he will say we are spending tens of billions are not going ahead with birmingham to manchester, so we are going to spend it on this. I would be amazed if that isnt some pretty hefty Infrastructure Spending in the north of england. At the moment because we dont know specifically what that is, there is still a sort of vacuum web a lot of people are absolutely livid at whats going on. We had the Rail Industry association on the bbc about half an hour ago fitting at the way theyve been treated. We had conservative politicians like andy street also livid about how this has panned out. If Rishi Sunak Is going to win them over, he will have to pull something out of the bag when he makes the speech just before 12 oclock.

What Rishi Sunak Is going to do i think at midday is argued that he is making a difficult long decision. Thats the picture at this conference. There is a big banner over there thats his long term decisions for a brighterfuture. Decisions for a brighter future. Youll say decisions for a brighterfuture. Youll say hes the brave politician who can take on unpopular issues, make unpopular decisions if they provide the right answers to strategically important questions. But we had this quite extraordinary situation since the weekend where rishi sunak has promised to make those decisions but hasnt actually told us what is going to do with hsz. That told us what is going to do with hs2. That uncertainty will end. I think its been pretty damaging over the past 72 hours that theres been a bit of a vacuum, where criticism of the Prime Minister has been forthright but Government Defence or explanation has been a lot harder to come by. I do think however that these speeches, despite all the noise around the conference where a lot of people get over excited by things going on in the political bubble, the speeches are what i remembered and i was in one of The Fringe Meetings Last Night and a Government Adviser came up and said, you guys keep talking about hs2, what really matters is what the Prime Minister has in his speech. Hes got some big ideas, some big announcements and they will be what resonate with the public. We dont know if thats true because weve not seen the speech yet but we dont know for certain if he has another rabbit to pull out of the hat. We will know in about 90 minutes. We will know in about 90 minutes. We will keep our eyes open for any rabbits. Thank you. The uk and Republic Of Ireland will now bid unopposed for euro 2028 after turkey withdrew to focus on a joint bid with italy for euro 2032. Turkey agreed to merge their euro 2032 bid with italy injuly and that has now been approved by governing body uefa. While italy had only bid for the 2032 tournament, turkey had bid to host both euro 2028 and 2032. Both bids still need official approval by uefa at a meeting of its executive committee. Back in april, 10 grounds were selected for the uk and Republic Of Irelands bid, including glasgows hampden park, cardiffs principality stadium, dublins Aviva Stadium and wembley in london. Belfast� s Casement Park and everton� s Bramley Moore dock, two unbuilt stadiums, are also included in the bid. An Army Investigation has found that a teenage soldier probably took her own life and one of the reasons was a period of relentless Sexual Harassment from her boss. Gunnerjaysley beck, who was 19 and serving in the royal artillery, was found dead at the Larkhill Army camp in wiltshire two years ago. A Service Inquiry report is due to be published later. Heres our Home Affairs Correspondentjune kelly. Jaysley beck, filmed by her family at the start of her army career. She joined up when she was just 16, finishing her training in 2020. Shed be dressed in her combat gear. Her mum leighanne and cousin lois with jaysley� s army cap and trousers. Remembering the day she was on parade when she finished her training. Its a massive achievement. And as a parent, to see your child happy is the best feeling in the whole wide world. Thats all you want for your children. You could see she was really proud of herself. Butjust before christmas in 2021, the exuberant young soldier with no history of Mental Health issues was found dead. An Army Investigation has concluded that she probably took her own life. An inquest yet to be held will decide officially. The Army Investigation found that one of the reasons forjaysley becks death at Larkhill Camp was the sustained Sexual Harassment she suffered from her immediate boss. He wanted a relationship with her. She didnt feel the same. The boss, like everyone else in the report, is not named. In october 2021, jaysley received over a thousand whatsapp messages and voicemails from him. The following month, this increased to more than 3,500. Youd think the easiest solution is block them. You cantjust block your boss. She were always down. She were fed up of his behaviour. Itjust started ruining her enjoyment, a job that she really enjoyed doing. The army report describes some of the messages as controlling. Jaysley feared he was watching her and tracking her movements via her mobile phone. Her mum and dad and older sister emily knew she was reluctant to report what was happening. She was saying, whats the point, mum, you dont get listened to. Shes going to be seen as a female troublemaker. They say this was because of an earlier episode involving another of her seniors a few months before. That officer sexually assaulted her. Jaysley was shocked when he was merely told to send her a letter of apology. The Army Investigation concluded that family issues, including a bereavement, were also partly responsible forjaysley� s death. The family are questioning this. I think theyre trying to put a lot on the family. Theyve kind of said were partly to blame for the passing of our daughter. Theyve missed a lot out. And truth be told, i find it a difficult read. An Army Spokesperson said, our thoughts and sympathies remain with jaysley becks family and friends at this difficult time. June kelly, bbc news. What more can you tell us .

Lets focus on an unprecedented turn of events in the us now, and the House Of Representatives is left rudderless. They have kicked out their own speaker for the first time in us history after members of Kevin Mccarthys party voted to oust him. Here are some of the main points. The motion was put forward by hardline republicans led by matt gaetz who are angered by an interim deal he brokered with democrats to prevent a shutdown. Patrick mchenry will step in in a limited capacity but what happens next isnt clear. Doing the right thing isnt always easy but it is necessary. I do not regret standing up for choosing government over grievance. It is my responsibility, it is myjob. I do not regret negotiating. Our government is designed to find compromise. I do not regret my efforts to build coalitions and find solutions. I was raised to solve problems, not create them. I may have lost the vote today but as i walk out of this chamber, i feel fortunate to have served the American People. I leave the speakership with a sense of pride, accomplishment and optimism. Other republican lawmakers are angry at the eight members of his party who voted to oust mccarthy. After the vote, republican don bacon said matt gaetz should be thrown out of the Republican Party. Its a vote for chaos. We have so many important issues we have to decide on right now. The farm bill, the defence bill, we have a broken border right now. I think it weakens america and i think its a good day if you are a russian government guy or chinese communist. They are probably smiling. One of the eight members of the Republican Party who voted to oust mccarthy is Congressman Ken Buck of colorado. He told us why he defended his vote. I will put my record to voting against anybody especially against someone like california like Speaker Mccarthy or some other critics who have criticised me from york. I believe we are spending too much money, i believe its an existential threat to this country and we need to at this point in time make sure that we are doing the right thing and spending responsibly and thats why i voted the way i did. Drjulie norman is the co director of the Centre On Us Politics at University College london. She says this is not american politics finest day. Its not a good look for the Republican Party, the congress or for the country. For the Republican Party, we see whats really quite a minority right wing flank that is just using this as an opportunity for personal aggrandizement. And is essentially punishing mccarthy for what were pragmatic compromises in terms of avoiding a Government Shutdown. Democrats also had an opportunity here to abstain for the vote or to keep mccarthy in that role and they also declined to do so for various reasons. And for congress essentially, this just throws the house into a bit of turmoil for the upcoming weeks and delays any kind of votes in ukraine, on the next budget bill and any other items of business but need to come forward during the season. Its not a great look right now but its one that unfortunately some unanticipated after the weekends events. � ,. ,. , ~ unanticipated after the weekends events. � ,. , unanticipated after the weekends events. � ,. , events.

So, the most upcoming thing will be the next budget vote. We had a Stopgap Measure that passed with mccarthys leadership over the weekend but that only takes the us until mid november before another potential Government Shutdown or another potential budget crisis. So, this really complicates getting that back on track and having meaningful negotiations for that discussion, which is quite key for americans. At the same time in this budget deal we had over the weekend, any funding for ukraine was left out. Joe biden and the white house will really were really hoping that congress could pick up a separate bill to ensure aid to ukraine continues. That looks unlikely as the house will need to focus on getting a speaker to get business back on track. fin speaker to get business back on track. ,. ,. ,. ,. ,. , track.

Under biden the us has a ready committed 110 billion in aid to ukraine, about half of that military aid and some of that is just reaching ukraine now after being promised before. I dont think ukraine will see the real effects on the battlefield imminently but what it does mean is that securing future funding going into next year, protections for long term security, those are the questions that are up in the air and biden and many supporters in congress from both sides of the aisle really want to make sure that is insured for the upcoming weeks and months.

Crispin rolfe, bbc news. 0h, oh, dear sorry again if you are arachnophobia. But its the weather to blame. Lets see if the mild weather is sticking around. Hello again. Over the next few days, the northern half of the country is going to be more unsettled than the southern half. And that is because High Pressure is starting to build in from the south, settling things down. Whereas weve got an array of atlantic fronts moving across the north of the country, introducing rain, and that certainly is the case today. Some heavy rain across parts of scotland, that rain getting into Northern Ireland and Southern Scotland later into the far north of Northern England. Behind it, were looking at sunshine and showers and ahead of it. For most of england and also wales, it will be dry with hazy sunshine and some isolated showers, gusty winds through the North Channel with temperatures 11 to 19 degrees, feeling quite pleasant in the sunshine. Now, as we head on through the evening and overnight, that Weather Front continues to sink south. It weakens, but then its going to pivot around and start to retreat northwards once again. And then hot in its heels, weve got the next band of heavy rain coming in, most of us staying in double figures. But in sheltered glens in scotland, especially in the northeast, temperatures could fall away to two or three degrees. So tomorrow, heres our first Weather Front thats pivoted round, moving northwards. Weve got low pressure with all these fronts around it coming in, bringing in some heavier rain through the day. And its falling in areas which have already seen quite a bit of rain. So for Northern Ireland and western scotland, but well also see that rain getting into Northern England and wales. Murky conditions around the coast and hills. The driest and brightest conditions will be in the south and east. But even here, the cloud will build through the day, temperatures 12 to 19 degrees into friday. More rain to come across the northern half of the country. Again, these Rainfall Totals will be starting to really mount up, come south in Western Areas will be a bit more cloudier and some murky conditions around the coasts and hills of wales in the south west, drier and brighter with some sunshine and are getting a bit warmer across parts of the south, in the east as we head into the weekend, well, things are a little bit more complicated because weve got the remnants of a Tropical Storm in the atlantic, which is stirring up the atmosphere. High pressure is trying to push these fronts northwards, but if they dont go north, then its looking like it could be quite a wet weekend across scotland and that will have an impact on the temperatures. We can also see some showers from the same system getting in across Northern Ireland, but come south, across england and wales will be a lot of dry weather and very warm. Live from london, this is bbc news. Rishi sunak will address the conservative Party Conference where he is expected to confirm the hs2 rail link between the West Midlands and manchester will be scrapped.

In the next hour, the Prime MinisterRishi Sunak Is expected to announce at the conservative conference that part of the H52 Conservative Conference that part of the Hs2 Rail Project which was originally due to link the West Midlands to manchester will not be built as planned. It means the project, which was originally due to link london with both leeds and manchester will now stop the West Midlands where the lines welljoin the existing network. Now understood the existing network. Now understood the family will go to alternative projects in the north of england and wales. The decision comes after days of speculation and with many senior conservatives warning that to scale back the project further would be
