headline i m intrigue, the novelist in me is intrigued by the headline, describing it as a fire sale. and that connection is quite scary. but as often happens with the economics, and certainly in terms of fiscal situations, one person s fire sale is another person s opportunity. and the ft quotes several private equity firms who are talking about how these economic conditions are actually very attractive for people who want to buy some of those assets, and some of the pension funds will have to deep dig to get more liquid assets like property. but for everyone who s having to make a sale, there s also someone who will have to make a purchase. and that is how the markets operate. and i think what worries me is a former investment banker about what s been happening over the last two weeks is this sense that everything is a snapshot and looking very scary, whereas if you can just hold your nerve and take a step back, and wait for things to settle, what you often find is the ma
the ukrainian fighters who defended the mariupol steelworks until they had to surrender to russia we hear the story of one of them on his release. when i look at this, it actually reminds me of me, because it s the exact same as my glasses. and the young people hoping to see more emojis that look like them. and coming up on the bbc news channel, liverpool s 7 1 champions league win at rangers might be the result that galvanises them after a poor start to the premier league season, withjurgen klopp saying it s lifted the mood. good afternoon and welcome to the bbc news at one. downing street is insisting this lunchtime there will be no further u turns, despite pressure intensifying on the prime minister to rethink her tax cutting plans following last month s mini budget. last week, the government abandoned its plan to abolish the 45p rate of tax for top earners. but senior conservatives have continued to voice grave concerns at liz truss s tax cutting agenda without explaini
one was the same. for me, the elastic snapped and that is why i sent a respectful and polite message to the prime minister this morning suggesting that he should go. mrjohnson has assembled a new cabinet, with some new faces he wants to stay in no 10 until there is a new conservative leader. arguments have raged all day about just how long borisjohnson can stay in downing street. tonight, he is promising any big decisions will be left to the next prime minister. just over two years ago, borisjohnson was riding high, but today he leaves a country divided about his legacy. i think he s lied and been found out, and i think he should go. i don t think he s credible any more. i think he did a marvellousjob. what he s done for the country, people don t realise. who else could have done that? who could have passed brexit? also this hour. foreign ministers arrive for the 620 meeting, the first with russia since the start of the ukraine war. and ons jabeur makes history as she reach
