Show us the hope is the cry from many labour mps. The Prime Minister and the chancellor visiting a Research Facility in liverpool have stressed what they say is their dire inheritance, now, there is a shift in tone.

In her Conference Speech today, Rachel Reeves will say there is a prize on offer if he says they make the right choices now. ~. ,. , now. What the chancellor will want to be now. What the chancellor will want to be getting now. What the chancellor will want to be getting across now. What the chancellor will want to be getting across is i want to be getting across is the good times we want to bring, sometimes you have to make difficult decision to give the stability, you dont want to repeat the disaster of Liz Truss to do that, so where there has to be a tough decision it is for a purpose and it is that better future, yes we want people to be better off, hope to return to britain. One of those difficult decisions on cutting the Winter Fuel Allowance is particularly controversial. Is these people at a reception for Trade Unions that we are not allowed to film inside that could prove a challenges for labours leadership. They are asking the conference to vote on the government reversing its cuts, to Winter Fuel Allowance. You cant ask pensioners who really are struggling, just over you know, £12,000, to give up over you know, £12,000, to give up that type of money, it is not on. It is a bad decision, and it is one that i personally dont believe stacks up with being a difficult choice, when there are other choices that could be made to bridge that gap, that the tories have left, through taxing wealth. The concern has through taxing wealth. The concern has only through taxing wealth. The concern has only been heightened by the question over freebodyys for labour ministers. Freebies if freebodyys for labour ministers. Freebies if you set your ministers. Freebies if you set your stall ministers. Freebies if you set your stall out ministers. Freebies if you set your stall out this ministers. Freebies if you set your stall out this is ministers. Freebies if you set your stall out this is a i set your stall out this is a government that is there to serve the country and see it as public service, there is no. Radio for those type of gifts. It is not clear if or when a vote on reversing the Winter Fuel Allowance could happen and it wouldnt be binding but for all the celebrations here it is another sign of discontent, among the rank and file, less tan three months into government. This is the scene now at the Labour Party Conference, we will hear from Rachel Reeves the chancellor at 12 today, we will be speaking to our correspondent later on in this bulletin. To the middle east. At least one person has been killed and several others wounded after israel launched dozen. More strikeses on the owt is and east of the country. Israel says it is continuing to target hezbollah sites and called on civilians to move away from the Militant Groups location, in a statement the rdf showed videos and animations of what it said were hidden missle sites.

This was the funeral of a top military commander, killed on friday, in an israeli air strike. The Armed Groups Deputy Leader said it was entering a new phase of open ended battle against israel. And there is a resounding support for that in its stronghold southern beirut, where Hezbollah Fighters Living and dead, are heroes. Many have lined the Street Hearse to say goodbye. His killing is a major loss for hezbollah at a time when the organisation is suffering blow after blow. There is anger here, and grief, but there is also defiance. The message is is hezbollah is not broken, and will fight on. And it has been doing that today. Firing missiles deeper into israel. Hezbollah says its targets are military. But this residential area in northern israel was hit. This too was a residential area in beirut, until fridays israeli strike which killed the Hezbollah Commander and 15 of his men, as they met below ground.

Emma simpson, Bbc News suffolk. Let us return to the Labour Party Conference and the Chancellor Rachel reeves spoke to Bbc Breakfast about what she intends to say at the conference this afternoon. 36 when i became chancellor, and i learned about the true extent of the public finance, and that £22 billion gap this year and every went year i had a choice, i could either continue what the conservatives did and cover that up or be open and honest and transparent and set out a plan to fix the problems in the public finances, i decided to take that course of being open and honest, now, ithink that is the right thing, because i think that it is important to level with people, about what governments having to do to get a grip of the public finances, but by getting that grip, by bringing stabilities back to the economy because we have been plagued by chaos these last few years, along with the reforms we are makeing, reforming the Planning System to create a national Wealth Fund to support home grown industries and supportjobs industries and support jobs here, industries and supportjobs here, reforming the Pension System and get better returns for pension savers, if we can do these things i know that the prize on offer is immense, more money in peoples pockets, more good jobs paying decent wages, more money to invest in our Front Line public service, so stability combineed with the reform to get Britain Building and growing, is the prize that is on offer, for governments that are willing to take the decisions to get our economy on a firmerfooting, that decisions to get our economy on a firmer footing, that is what i will be setting out in my speech and in the budget. Let us speak to our political correspondent. Henry as we heard there from the chancellor, the tone is optimism isnt it . It chancellor, the tone is optimism isnt it . Chancellor, the tone is optimism isnt it . It is not ust a optimism isnt it . It is not just a change optimism isnt it . It is not just a change of optimism isnt it . It is not just a change of tone optimism isnt it . It is noti just a change of tone from Rachel Reeves, its a transformation. Today is her 80th day as chancellor and i would say the previous 79 have been pretty gloomy, deliberately, she says that is the unavoidable reality of what she argues is the worst economic inheritance any government has received from any predecessor, she has focussed so far in her time in thejob on the focussed so far in her time in the job on the actions she wants to take to fill what she calls the £12 billion Black Hole which she inherited from the conservatives, just for this year, but what the government is going to try to do today, what Rachel Reeves is going to try to do in this Conference Speech is talk about the other side of the equation, yes, as you heard there she is still saying there are tough choices for the government to make but she is going to try to talk about what she believes the rewards are that will come from making those tough choices, that is the argument she will try to land today and it is strikingly more optimistic in tone, that what we have heard from her before. How much damage has the row over the political donation of clothing and so on, how much damage has it done at the start of the conference like this . It is probably too soon to say in terms of Public Opinion, and it might in any case be odd to talk about Public Opinion at this point, less than three months since a General Election and almost five years until one, but in terms of the psyche of this still very new government, i think it has damaged them. If there was a period they were very excited to be in government after 1a years i think that has gone and there is an appreciation that government is hard and you face tough scrutiny, and that scrutiny doesnt just come tough scrutiny, and that Scrutiny Doesntjust come from your political points in parliament but it does come from journalists and i think thatis from journalists and i think that is a Learning Curve Thaw some on the government would admit they have been on, i think perhaps and i hope this doesnt sound too meta i think perhaps what is is most damaging for the government here and the Labour Party, is that so many of these wounds have been self inflicted, even those News Stories which have been anonymously sourced they have come people right at the heart of government, and that is causing anxiety among other people at the heart of government who wish they could just find a way to get along and get won the task of delivering the growth they say this country needs. Talk us through the, you talked about the growth they need, what about the economic indicator, how are they going as she is trying to prepare for the budget and those announcements . , , announcements . There has been interesting announcements . There has been interesting discussion announcements . There has been interesting discussion from interesting discussion from economic experts that i hear from, in the last few weeks that some of Rachel Reevess Rhetoric about the Black Hole, about how tough things are going to be, might have damaged business confidence, damaged the possibility of investment. Now, look, it is early day, the Budget Isnt until The End of october. There a chance for the rhetoric to change and we will see that today, in any case from Rachel Reeves, but that is certainly something that is on the horizon of people in government, is affecting how they start to think about not just what they do for the economy, what they do in the budget but how they talk about it, how they frame it and explain to it the general public. Explain to it the general ublic. ,. , public. Henry, give Us A Headline public. Henry, give Us A Headline about public. Henry, give Us A Headline about what public. Henry, give us a.

Well, there are speeches from all sorts of l speeches from all sorts of other cabinet minister, people Likejohn Healey the Defence Secretary, a lot on his mate at the moment. Hilary benn the Northern Ireland secretary, but really, i think it is striking the I Tent to which the grid as they call it has been cleared for Rachel Reeves the chancellor who is, you know, obviously the Chancellor Subpoena important but so at the heart of keir starmer� s political project. One thing thatis political project. One thing that is happening interestingly and it relates to one of those tough choices, that Rachel Reeves has made, is there is possibly we dont know for sure yet, going to be a vote on her policy of cutting the Winter Fuel Allowance for most pensioner, it seems perhaps as we talk now it is not clear that vote might end up being pushed back to Wednesday, a lower Profile Day as this conference, but if or when that vote does happen you will see this Party Conference almost certainly voting in opposition to that government policy, now thatis to that government policy, now that is not going to change policy, Rachel Reeves determined to press ahead, she says its a necessary decision and the most hard up will get support but nevertheless that is something to watch out for whether it comes today or Wednesday. D0 whether it comes today or Wednesday. Whether it comes today or wednesda. , Wednesday. Do stay with us, here on bbc Wednesday. Do stay with us, here on Bbc News, Wednesday.

Do stay with us, i here on Bbc News, we will have continuing coverage of the Labour Party Conference throughout the day, and let us return now to. They have managed to persuade young voters it is time for something new here, that it is a time for a change in the established political order, that is something we are seeing not just in germany but across europe, and it spells real trouble for the established political order going forward, young voters are turning to an alternative political order here, and, they are looking for something different, something that would be for many, for many in europe a leap into the unknown. Thank you very much. This is Bbc News. Their homes over the weekend, as nearly a dozen rivers overflowed. The region, which is still recovering from an earthquake that killed over 200 people, has had double its average rainfall this month. Ukraines President Zelensky is in the united states trying persuade western powers to allow his country to use the long range missiles theyve supplied for strikes on targets deep within russia. During the visit, he will also present President Biden with his plan to end the war. In a video message, zelensky said there was a lot at stake. Translation we are starting a visit to the united states. I we are now flying to pennsylvania, a special visit, then new york, washington. This autumn will decide what will happen next in this war. Together with our partners, we can strengthen our positions as necessary for our victory. Our common victory, for peace that is true and just. Ukraine will present in the united states there Victory Plan and the president of the united states will be the first to see it in full. Of course, i will present the Victory Plan to all the leaders of our partner countries who, like President Biden, or leaders of the world and can become leaders of peace by helping us with the Victory Plan. For the first time in ten years, Indian Administered Kashmir is voting in local assembly elections. Its a region which has lived through a violent insurgency for decades and has always had a tenuous relationship with delhi. While some continue to boycott elections, there are others coming out to vote. What has changed and what do kashmiris want from these elections . The bbc� s India Correspondent Arunoday mukharji reports from the region. Political slogans ring out in the valley, hope on peoples faces and a desire for something different. Thats what Engineer Rashid is promising, an accused in a Terror Funding Case and injail for the last five years. Rashid, now out on bailto campaign. And he spoke to us in the middle of his roadshow. There are two things in my politics. One is to take care of the developmental issues. Governance. Second is genetic is a conflict zone. You know it. The political Issue Ofjammu and kashmir. There are aspirations, aspirations for resolution to kashmir issue. He fought and won the parliamentary elections earlier this year despite being behind bars. Rashids campaign struck a chord with voters still reeling under the loss of Statehood And Autonomy five years ago. Weve seen rallies like these take place across kashmir now. Lack ofjobs, rising prices are key talking points, but what seems to resonate the most with locals over here is when politicians talk about the need to protect and Restore Kashmiri Identity And Autonomy that still remains central to these polls. Earlier elections were marred by violence and boycotts, but now there are more voters at polling booths. Even though its hard to miss the reminders that the existing peace may be a fragile one. Since the 1990s, an armed insurgency against indian rule has claimed thousands of lives, including civilians and security forces. For decades, india has been accused of Human Rights Violations and cracking down on dissent. But in the last few years, critics say this has only intensified. Voting in the recent General Elections was a form of resistance. Pm modi talks about a new kashmir. If new kashmir means prices will go up, then we dont want new kashmir. We want our old kashmir back. Thats how first time voter, 2a year old Maliha Sophie is not voting. Peace in the region, she says, has come at the cost of personal liberties. Where is the peace, actually . Like, obviously, i know the peace is only this thing that people dont speak like they used to against whatever was happening. But now we are not allowed to say so. Yeah, everything is peaceful because nobody speaks against them. But the Bharatiya Janata Party says there is peace and the burden of conveying this message is on bjp� s local candidate, engineer ajaz hussain. The Hindu Nationalist Party has been trying to make inroads in a muslim majority region, where it has never had much presence. There is scattered support, but a large section of the people here still see the bjp as the party that took away kashmir� s autonomy. He says the higher Voter Turnout means people believe in the democratic process. But on allegations of his Partys Government in delhi cracking down on critics, he says there will be no compromise. Our country is a democratic one. We wont allow terrorists to roam freely on our roads. This is our clear stance. We dont want a system of separatism. All those people who are with separatists, they will be dealt very seriously. Kashmiris have lived through decades of violent insurgency and these elections bring some form of hope. But its also a reality that even after a new government takes over in this federally administered region, real power will remain in the hands of the centre. Aruna mukherji, Bbc News, srinagar. Now, this may be the last us president ial election for donald trump. Speaking in an interview to the sinclair media group, yesterday the republican presidenitial nominee was asked if he saw himself running again in 2028, if he were to lose the president ial election to democratic rival kamala harris. Mr trump can only serve another four years if he wins, as us law Bars President s from serving more than two terms in office. Take a listen to some of that interview. If you are not success. Do you see yourself running in four years. See yourself running in four ears. ,. , � ~. , years. No i dont. I think that will be, that years. No i dont. Ithink that will be, that will years.

It follows reports that Governor Mark Robinson was embroiled in a scandal over comments posted on a Porn Site Message board. He denies describing himself as a � black nazi and making racist comments. The resignations come just weeks before the North Carolina gubernatorial election. It is been climbing for a couple of years as global inflation has been high. Golds been historically recognised as a hedge against inflation. The price of gold is up more than a third on the value of 12 months ago. Let us return to those live pictures that we have got coming in from southern lebanon, where israel has carried out a fresh wave of air strikes, at least one person is reported to have been killed, and several others wounded. Israel says it is targeting buildings that It Claims are being used by the Militant Group hezbollah, and has called on civilians to move away from them. This follows action by hezbollah over the weekend, which struck deep inside israel, reaching targets in the city of haifa and on sunday its Deputy Leader said it was in an open ended battle of reckoning with israel. You can see more on that on the live page on the Bbc News website. Hello. We have had some torrential downpours over rain overnight, some parts of the South East having a Months Worth of rain. Not surprisings the Met Office has an Amber Weather Warning in force for its central and Southern England which is valid today up to 9. 00 this evening, this rain of course falling on saturated ground, description is possible, there are reports of flooding and also some disruption to transport. It is courtesy of this area of low pressure which eventually will pull away to the east, but it is produced Heavy Rain this morning in the South East, it is drifting that bit further west, the lighter colours where the heaviest bursts are, further rain in Northern England and we have Rain Sinking South in Northern Scotland but in between something drier and brighter with our temperatures today, ranging from ten in the north, to 20 in the south. Through this evening and overnight the rain pulls steady eastwards, a lot of cloud in its wake and we have the rain in the north, sinking a bit further south, but the wind here picking up. It is going to be a Cooler Night than last night as well, but temperatures between seven and about 13 degrees, so tomorrow, we start off with the dregs of todays weather front, across the South East, producing this cloud and some spots of rain, that moves away, The Rain Across Scotland sinks further south across central and iron areas, getting into Northern England but for western scotland, Northern Ireland and much of the rest of england and wales, it will be a drier day than today, with just a few showers, and temperatures ten to about 18 degrees north to south. Then as we move from tuesday into Wednesday we are watching this system coming in from the atlantic, it is going to bring some Heavy Rain, we think at the moment in parts of england and wales, and strong winds potentially gales through the English Channel but it could well change the position of this, this is what we think at the moment, coming in from the south west, pushing north eastwards, north of that, it is a mixture of sunshine and showers, temperatures ten to 16 degrees so you will notice the temperatures starting to slide a bit, as we head to the latter part of the week the temperatures will continue to slide, and by friday, we are looking at highs of learn to 13. | 11 13. 11 to 13. We are heading back to the Labour Party Conference in liverpool as we are about to hear from the Defence Secretary john healey. Do we have any idea about the headlines from mr healy . Idea about the headlines from mrheal 7g. ,. , mr healy . John healy is giving his Statement Mr healy . John healy is giving his statement from mr healy . John healy is giving his statement from the his statement from the Conference Stage in a few minutes at a time of huge global security and i suspect there might be times that make mention of ukraine because the government will want to show us continued commitment to supporting ukraine and that is another element, today is badged as the Economy Day because the Chancellor Rachel reeves is the big Ticket Item Today but in the Defence World there are questions about spending and you might remember in the Run Up to the General Election was a lot of discussion about whether or not the uk would reach the target of 2. 5 of Gdp Spending on defence. The Labour Party at the time, Keir Starmersaid it was committed to reaching that but only when resources allow
