There will be discussions tomorrow between keir starmer and scholz, trade, military Security Priorities as well as migration are expected to be discussed, there may be discussions also about particular ukraine, germany like the uk has provided a lot of support to president zelenskyy and his country. There does seem to be a bit of a disagreement internationally over long range missiles being used in russia by ukraine, the us and germany seem to be less keen on that. France and the uk more keen, thats certainly something wed imagine keir starmer might want to talk about to try and persuade the german chancellor. Also migration, two leaders both Phase Challenges there. Particularly the chancellor after that terrorist attack. Certainly number ten is suggesting that this is part of an effort for Prime Minister starmer to reset relations with european nations, weve done that rightly already visiting paris for the olympics come he may indeed visit again for the paralympics and this is his attempt to do that with the german chancellor, too.

He kicked off today with a big speech which chancellor, too. He kicked off today with a big speech which is chancellor, too. He kicked off today with a big speech which is really with a big speech which is really looking ahead to the budget here at the end of october. Warning of pain ahead. A pretty downbeat tone but he didnt spell out who is going to actually be paying for the changes that this government wants to bring in. , , that this government wants to bring in. W , ,. , that this government wants to bring in. Exactly, this is a maor speech, bi on in. Exactly, this is a maor speech, big on rhetoric, h in. Exactly, this is a major speech, big on rhetoric, significant big on rhetoric, significant negative tone but not really much policy. The key lines that seem to be that budget you mentioned will be painful. We already know that there will not be tax rises on income tax, on national insurance, thats a guarantee of the late party made on the last general election but speculation the other taxes like the inheritance tax, Capital Gains tax could potentially be raised. This £22 billion black hole, the conservative Opposition Party are very critical, saying today there are incoming tax raids, just like pensioners and Working Families are nextin pensioners and Working Families are next in line for labours tax hikes, that reference to pensioners of course after a bit of change in policy over the last week or so about support for Winter Fuel Payments for pensioners in the uk. Certainly i think what keir starmer was wanting to do is manage expectations, difficult decisions need to be made ahead, this doesnt mirror what David Cameron did in 2010 after they took over from the labour party, basically saying the last people much this all up, weve been left with the difficult inheritance and it will be, they argue, a difficultjob to rebuild the economy, certainly keir starmer seemed to be displaying a pretty negative tone ahead of that key fiscal event. Ice negative tone ahead of that key fiscal event. Fiscal event. Joe pike in westminster, fiscal event. Joe pike in westminster, thank fiscal event. Joe pike in | westminster, thank you. So, sir keir starmer will be looking to make his mark diplomatically in germany in the coming hours, but thats the british media seems to be far more interested in exactly what his warning of tough times ahead before things get better will mean both in terms of finances and what it might mean for the political promises which got him elected. Lets speak to one of his Labour Backbenchers jeevun sandher, mp for loughborough. Thanks forjoining us. Keir starmer said those were the broadest shoulders should pay, so the labour party is removing Winter Fuel Payments from around 10 million pensioners, are those the people that labour regarded as having the highest shoulders . We that labour regarded as having the highest shoulders . That labour regarded as having the highest shoulders . We had to make difficult decisions highest shoulders . We had to make difficult decisions because highest shoulders . We had to make difficult decisions because of highest shoulders . We had to make difficult decisions because of the difficult decisions because of the mess we have. Now we find on top of it a £22 billion financing gap in this year alone, and we are committed to helping people get on in life, its where rachels head is and where our heart is as welcome the Labour Government got Pensioner Poverty Down by £900,000, this government have a good drive to increase the pension or credit involvement to ensure that actually people do and are able to get on and what are very difficult times. Theres no warnings of that in the conservatives have criticised it, and rishi sunak has said labour are going to raise your taxes, thats what they have warned all along. What level of income or capital do you have to own without seeing your taxes going up this year . Taxes going up this year . Decisions about the budget taxes going up this year . Decisions about the budget will taxes going up this year . Decisions about the budget will be taxes going up this year . Decisions about the budget will be made about the budget will be made by rachel at that time, and we should wait for decisions, but our focus now, ouraim, is to wait for decisions, but our focus now, our aim, is to ensure the people in this country are better off. We are investing in Clean Energy Security to get energy bills down, we are investing in skills and infrastructure to get wages and growth rising again, we are government that faces up to the problems that this country has and not tries to bury our head in the sand, thats why we are being clear with the british people today about situation and the investments we make to get prosperity back in this country.

And there are deep fissures in the foundations of this country. The worst squeeze in wages since napoleon, the highest waitlist in our history, the highest Energy Price Increase in the g7, thats what we knew about and thats what we find on top a £22 billion financing gap. We are being straight with the british people about the problems we face so we can rebuild the prosperity this country so desperately needs. The prosperity this country so desperately needs.

Our priority is to make sure the raising revenue. Our priority is to make sure the british raising revenue. Our priority is to make sure the british people raising revenue. Our priority is to make sure the british people are| make sure the british people are better off, thats why we made a commitment to not raise taxes on income tax, a national insurance, on vat, that is the right decision especially at this point in time when we are going through our worst cost of living crisis in a century.

The last government chose to stick their heads in the sand, they were not honest with the british people, they covered up at £22 billion gap and now we see words left us. So we are being honest with the british people and fundamentally, i am hopeful about the future that we are going to build and we are determined to deliver it and thats what rachel will set out in her budget and thats what circular was talking about today.

Thank you very much for bein with about today. Thank you very much for being with us the us president ial race is getting into full swing. But theres a new disagreement ahead of the first debate between donald trump and Kamala Harris. Democrats want both candidates microphones to be live throughout the full broadcast on Abc On September the tenth. While mr trump has said it doesnt matter to him either way, the Republican Campaign are reported to want him muted unless its his turn to speak. When President Biden was the democratic candidate, both sides had agreed to the muting of mics. Cbs news correspondent, jarred hill talked us through this debate an agreement that was made when former President Trump and President Biden had theirfirst and only debate of this cycle a couple of months ago, that these microphones would be muted when one person was not speaking, considered an effort to try and get rid of some of the sort of bickering and chaos that we saw during one of the debates in the 2020 election. But now you have Vice PresidentKamala Harriss team saying, no, lets have the microphones on. Presumably an effort for her to be able to push back against or rebut some of his claims live and in the moment, something that we have seen her do in previous debates, as well as her term while she was in the senate. Theyre also painting this as, uh, as they say it, quote, trumps handlers prefer the muted microphone because they dont think their candidate can act president ial for 90 minutes on his own. Uh, again, as you mentioned, former President Trump says it doesnt really matter to him. His campaign seems like they are on the other side. Well have to wait and see exactly what the rules end up being for this debate. Theres also, though, a question of whether this will happen at all, because we know former President Trump multiple times, including yesterday, has said that he doesnt like the network, that this debate is going to be held on because he feels that theyre not friendly or fair to republican voices. For more on the risks involved for both candidates in terms of holding a debate, ive been speaking to lynn sweet, the Washington Bureau chief for the chicago sun times. I began by asking her whether she thought a debate would definitely still go ahead. I dont know if it will happen, because it is a certainty on the desire of the Harris Campaign to have a debate. The trump team can be recalculating the odds on this helping them up until, you know, up until the day of. So your question of will this help . I think the way you can analyse the debate in American Politics is the best outcome is do no harm. The great outcome is demolish your opponent. But as we saw, there is a third outcome where a debate can hurt you. And thats what we saw in thejune 21st debate, where President Biden effectively ended his bid for a second term and changed the course of American History because of his disastrous performance with President Trump. And just explain for us a bit more the concern about whether the mikes are open or not from the trump team. What are his team potentially worried about . So trump has a reputation for talking over people in a debate. He certainly did that when he debated Hillary Clinton in 2016. So his mo is to interrupt, bully and be boisterous. That may not work this time, and his team has to calculate whether or not a muted mic helps him or hurts him. The calculation was that it would help him and the biden debate. A request for muted mikes came from the biden team now. From the biden team now, whole different calculus. Whole different calculation. Because a live mic could be a Weapon Of Choice for Vice President democratic nominee Kamala Harris. Because, but it could also if, you know, if trump does talk a lot while shes supposed to be answering, that could put because, but it could also if, you know, if trump does talk a lot while shes supposed to be answering, that could put her off her stride. And although her team are, you know, putting out her credentials as a prosecutor and someone can ask clever questions, this is about providing the right answers when theres a lot of expectation on her now. Absolutely. Especially since she has not had any since shes been nominated, as we speak, Press Conferences or one on one interviews, it does not mean that she is not unpractised. She is a veteran of debates. She is a prosecutor who knows how to, you know, jab and punch when needed or recede when needed. The skill set she has in taking on trump is a skill set she has. Its very difficult in a debate to execute it. So you can come out of a debate better than you went in. Very hard to do. Its doable, and we know what the trump team has to worry that they know team has to worry that they know trumps weaknesses. Trumps weaknesses. They know his go to position they know his go to position to talk over to to just kind of keep to talk over to to just kind of keep talking and to run out the clock. Talking and to run out the clock. But they dont know and cannot but they dont know and cannot calculate is how harris, calculate is how harris, who has now had a coming out who has now had a coming out of a terrific convention in chicago. Of a terrific convention in chicago. Its hard to game out how its hard to game out how or swing voters, especially women. She will attack trump. She will attack trump. While its easier to figure out while its easier to figure out a bit how trump will Attack Harris a bit how trump will Attack Harris also coming into this, we know also coming into this, we know that he has disrespected her, that he has disrespected her, mispronounced her name, mispronounced her name, insulted her looks, and insulted her intelligence. Insulted her looks, and insulted her intelligence. So if he goes to that so if he goes to that place in the debate, place in the debate, he better watch out, he better watch out, because that may not be something because that may not be something that could help win him votes that could help win him votes or swing voters, especially women. After much speculation, 90s supergroup oasis, have confirmed theyll reunite for a World Tour For Next year. Colin paterson has more. Me and him were, like, telepathic, you know what i mean . I know my brother better than anybody else. This is how oasis announced they were back. The brothers finally confirming a series of huge shows next summer. Always famous for their feuding. We dont like each other, man. Today� s news might help explain why Noel Gallagher had recently been so complimentary about liam. Do you think your voice brings a sensitivity to the songs . If songs were drinks, right, liams is a shot of tequila, right . And mines half a guinness. At the height of their mid � 90s britpop peak, oasis were simply massive. Even Harry EnfieldsKevin And Perry paid tribute. How was manchester . Yeah, you know, result, top, mad for it. So sally can wait. And despite splitting up 15 years ago, theres a strong argument that they remained the biggest band in britain. Not surprisingly, in manchesters northern quarter, it wasnt hard to find people with opinions on the reunion. Its amazing for all the fans and its wonderful to keep that lineage of music going and make up as brothers, because theyre family, at the end of the day. When did they make up . How has this happened . Whats your theory . Oh, a money grab. You cant say that i can, its too late, sorry. People are already reserving parking spaces, apparently. And hotels are at £800 already. Everyones over the moon, arent they . Fingers crossed they dont fall out again, you know what i mean . In two minutes. You know what i mean . You know what theyre like, dont you . Eh . And across the city, there was much excitement at the microdot gallery, a stop on the oasis walking tour. Were very lucky to have the original fireplace from the front cover of definitely maybe. If this can be the catalyst to give people a bit of happiness, you know, who better to drag us out of the doldrums than liam and noel at the end of the day . This is a posterfor oasiss famous shows at knebworth and have a look at the ticket price. £22. 50. Its going to be rather more than that when they go on sale on saturday. Its a crazy situation. Thats not the only thing which is still to be announced. No confirmation yet on which other members of oasis will be returning. And thanks to those rows, there are plenty to choose from. Colin paterson, bbc news, manchester. I asked Rolling StonesAngie Martoccio why she thinks the brothers have decided to reunite now. As a fan, i would like to think, you know, its no secret that noel is currently going through an expensive divorce. Um, but its also the 30th Anniversary of their debut. Definitely, maybe. And lets not forget that their peers in britpop, from blur to pulp, who have all said that, you know, oasis should get together. Theyve all been encouraging this. Their peers have done this, theyve all reunited. But i think that no band from the � 90s has a bigger, more anticipated reunion than oasis. This is the thing that fans have been waiting for so long. And why . For those who are less familiar with their music, what is it about their sound that that generated all that excitement . I think a lot of it, to explain to someone whos not familiar is that, like many bands who have brothers involved, from The Black Crowes to the kinks to the everly brothers, you know, theyve always kind of struggled to get along since their birth. And ifeel like thats really what fuelled oasiss greatness. They were competing with each other on stage. Um, noel was the songwriter, liam was the singer, them going back at each other, only communicating through the press and on social media. This is kind of like heightened the drama of it. And then musicality wise, theyre just incredible. I mean, they have such a � 90s like rock sound that is uncomparable to a lot of bands. Youre watching bbc news. Two men have been charged with murder and attempted murder, after a House Fire In Bradford that killed a woman and her three children. Bryonie gawith, who was 29, and her three children, dinisty birtle, who was nine, oscar birtle, aged five, and aubree birtle, who was 22 months old, died in the blaze at their home last week. Mohammed shabir and calum sunderland, are due to appear at bradford magistrates court, on wednesday. The former paralympian, Tanni Grey Thompson, says she was forced to crawl off a train on arrival in london last night, because there were no staff to help her. Baroness grey thompson, who uses a wheelchair, said shed waited for 20 minutes, before deciding to disembark herself. The train operator, lner, says its sorry, and is investigating what happened. Chi chi izundu has that story. Getting on and off a train isnt accessible to everyone. Baroness Tanni Grey Thompson showing how she had to move her luggage and wheelchair off a train from leeds last night without assistance. Well, it is now 22 17, nobody has come to get me off, they got me an absolutely fine, staff knew i was there and im now crawling the train. The law says that all Train Station Providers should have an accessible Travel Policy outlining the level of service and facilities passengers can expect, how to get assistance and how to get help if things go wrong. Lners on policy says those needing assistance will be helped off the train within five minutes of its arrival and if you cannot prebook assistance when you arrive at the station, staff should be able to help. Im not asking for the moon, im just asking to have the same miserable experience of commuting at everyone. Ijust want to get on and off a train its not a lot to ask. And that is excessive out campaigners one. Sam jennings has won a competition for repeatedly being left stranded at stations. Ijust want to go to Streatham Station right now, to go to thameslink and i want to say, i need to get on that train on the go yes and they put me on the train. The Train Company said in a statement. An independent report published for the government two years ago found that fewer than 2 of Railway Stations across the uk have level access between the train and the platform, which means a ramp is always required and a member of staff is needed to make it deployable. But Charities Say change isnt happening quick enough. One even estimated step free access one even estimated step free access across all stations will not happen across all stations will not happen before 2070. Before 2070.

Chris is one of the call handlers. She admits it can be emotionally challenging. To do that, when people are having some of the worst days of their life, pretty consistently for an entire working week, it can fatigue you a little bit. I dont think i would let a call finish if i wasnt satisfied that i knew that something had been done that was beneficial. Campaigners welcome the news, but warn there are bigger challenges. We think its a first step in the right direction. However, the effectiveness of this new offer of Support By Nhs Iii will be dependent on the level of Services Provision available in the respective areas, which we know are stretched due to a lack of funding. Nhs england say they were working flat out to meet demand, and the new service would help them do that. Hugh pym, bbc news. Lets take a look at the weather with chris fawkes. Hello there tuesday brought us three different zones of weather across the uk, so it was quite a mixed Weather Picture. It was across parts of the east midlands, central, southern england, east anglia and the south east that we had the best of the day sunshine and it was warm too, temperatures reached the mid 20s in the warmest spots. But not that far away we had this stripe of rain, a slow moving Weather Front that brought wet weather. The front itself did move away from scotland and Northern Ireland for the most part after a soggy morning here in crieff and perth and kinross. At least the weather brighten up through the afternoon. Now looking at the Weather Picture overnight tonight, here is our weak Weather Front, stretched across northern england, wales and into the south west of england. With that there will be some areas of low cloud, bit of mist and fog around some of the hills and the coasts, and further patches of mostly light rain. There will be some rain returning to Northern Ireland towards the end of the night as well. Weve got these three zones of weather then for the forecast tomorrow too. First of all, our old Weather Front, well, it could pep up to bring one or two heavier bursts of rain, but i think more likely the heaviest rain on wednesday will be affecting Northern Ireland and into parts of scotland through the course of the day, but that still leaves east anglia and south east england, where its going to be dry, sunny and warm. If anything, it could be even hotter. Temperatures might reach 27 degrees in the very warmest spots. Now, by the time we get to thursday, a cold front will have swept away that heat from easternmost areas of england, so temperatures will be returning back closer to average. A lot of dry weather around. A few blustery showers, though for the north West Of Scotland and a few isolated showers, possibly building through the day in Northern Ireland and the north west of both england and wales. But overall, thursdays not a bad kind of day. And for friday, well, there is a risk of seeing a few showers affect the Northern Isles for a time, thanks to this area of low pressure. But otherwise High Pressure starts to build across the uk and thats going to be with us through friday and into the weekend beyond. What that means is for most of you, its looking dry to the end of the week. Could be a few Early Morning mist and fog patches to clear, but otherwise some fine spells of sunshine are forecast to develop widely. Temperatures again climbing into the 20s widely across england and wales. High teens for scotland and Northern Ireland. In that late august sunshine it should feel pleasantly warm and the sunny skies stay with us into the weekend as well. However, there isjust a small chance of a few showers coming up from france to affect southernmost areas of england on sunday. Hello, im christian fraser. Youre watching the context on bbc news.
