without manchester city. the holders have been knocked out for the first time in five years — in a penalty shootout with west ham. good morning. the met office has a tear and that warning is out for heavy rain today. for south—west scotland and cumbria. further disruption and flooding as possible and wherever you are it will be windy but mild. all the details later in the programme. it's thursday, the 28th of october. our main story. the chancellor, rishi sunak, has outlined a £150 billion spending spree over three years in his budget. but there are warnings that rising inflation and high taxation could mean no improvement in living standards. our political correspondent chris mason has the story. any budget is a delicate mix of ingredients. first comes the chancellor's address to the commons. then it's a selling job. here we go. taxes on alcohol are being simplified... cheers! ..so a trip to a brewery was in order. to rishi! and the chancellor is out and about again this morning in what is so often a crucial time after any budget — the day after — as people start to plough through the budget documents to ferret out the details that weren't mentioned in the speech. here are the key things we learnt. the economy is doing better than some thought, and the government's going to spend the extra money that it raises in taxes. prices are going up — and are likely to for some time. the recent cut in universal credit won't be reversed, but workers who get it will be able to keep more of it as they earn more. and there'll be a 50% discount in business rates in england for the retail, hospitality and leisure sectors — starting next year. where there are chances, as the economy recovers, to cut taxes — as we've shown through our action on business rates today and as we've shown through universal credit taper relief, as well — we will do that, and i suspect that over the course of budgets to come between now and the next election, as the chancellor hinted, we will look to ease the burden of taxation on the public. of course there are things in this budget that we welcome — including some of the additional money for public services — but the key challenges that people are facing right now with the cost—of—living crisis and looking into a winter when food prices are going up, when the cost of filling your tank with petrol is increasing, and when gas and electricity bills are soaring...there's nothing. and the analysis is onlyjust beginning. chris mason, bbc news, at westminster. let's get more reaction now from our chief political correspondent, adam fleming. good morning. it is interesting, we saw the reaction in the commons yesterday after the budget had been delivered but now it is all about what do we, how do we label the conservative party, how do we label this chancellor's strategy? i conservative party, how do we label this chancellor's strategy?— this chancellor's strategy? i think we label rishi _ this chancellor's strategy? i think we label rishi sunak _ this chancellor's strategy? i think we label rishi sunak is _ this chancellor's strategy? i think we label rishi sunak is someone | this chancellor's strategy? i think - we label rishi sunak is someone who is happy to put up taxes because thatis is happy to put up taxes because that is what he did in the budget in march, the first one this year, and then he has been happy to spend that money on government departments in this budget in october. and that will be a little bit uncomfortable with some conservative mps in the long term because the government was a bit smaller and the taxpayer must smile, they would rather. in terms of reaction, labour have said that the government has gone for the wrong priorities here, that by cutting taxes on domestic flights and on sparkling wine, which was one of the more minor things in the budget, that the government is prioritising the wrong things here and they could be doing more for the cost of living, to which the government say one of the biggest things in this budget document when you look at the tables is the changes to universal credit, which is basically putting another £2 billion, at least, into the welfare system and also the freeze on fuel duty which saves about £1 billion as well. as we have seen in the last few months, though, the things we all end up talking about are things that come along in the real world. remember that the co2 crisis, the petrol queues, so ijust wonder, when you also read the forecast for the economy, when you see that inflation could be 5% at some point next year, are there things in the real world that will end up feeling a lot more significant and a lot more dramatic than what is in this big document? i more dramatic than what

of a cinematographer on a film set in new mexico say they believe the weapon used by the actor alex baldwin contained a live round. reports have now emerged about safety concerns on set in the days before halyna hutchins was killed. our us correspondent sophie long reports. it is now nearly a week since 42—year—old halyna hutchins was shot dead while she was doing herjob. these are the last pictures of the cinematographer alive on the set of rust. she's in the blue coat and headphones. you can see alec baldwin beyond the camera. he was holding the gun that fired the shot that killed halyna and severely injured directorjoel souza. we believe that we have in our possession the firearm that was fired by mr baldwin. the actual lead projectile that was fired has been recovered from the shoulder of mr souza. we regard this specific spent casing and recovered projectile to be the live round that was fired from the revolver by mr baldwin. when alec baldwin was handed the weapon by assistant director dave halls, he was told it was safe — what's called a cold gun. the person responsible forfirearms on the set was the armoury — 24—year—old hannah gutierrez—reed. she's admitted ammunition was not secure, but says she checked the guns and found no live rounds. all three are cooperating fully with the investigation. all options are on the table at this point. i'm not commenting on charges — whether they will be filed or not, or on whom. so the answer is, we cannot answer that question yet until we complete a more thorough investigation. the tragedy has left hollywood grieving, and reignited the debate about whether real guns and ammunition should ever be allowed on film sets under any circumstances. sophie long, bbc news. 100 years after the poppy appeal

streets, to highlight the growing number of spikings on nights out. according to the national police chiefs council, forces have received almost 200 confirmed reports of drink spiking in just under two months. louisa pilbeam has more. i scream at the top of my lungs, we will not accept this! this was manchester last night, where hundreds of people protested against drink spiking. and across the uk, the night in campaign has seen a boycott of nightclubs, leaving establishments empty. spread your arms apart. bit of social distancing. women are particularly angry at being made to feel unsafe at the alarming trend of people on nights out being deliberately injected with dangerous substances that have left some victims unconscious. women seem to be thought of as the lesser kind of gene, and we are definitely not, so to spike a woman in their drink or inject them is just absolutely disgusting. new figures revealed 56 incidents of spiking by injection were recorded by police in the uk in september and october, and 198 reports of drink spiking, the majority of victims female. many young women say they'd feel safer if nightclubs and bars had tighter security. i go to some clubs and they will check underneath my phone case and they will check my pockets and my bag, and other clubs, they just don't. and actually i would rather you were taking my phone case off and looking inside and see if there's some funny things being brought in. it makes me feel safer. student unions across the country have been providing alternative places to go. there's things like board games, hot drinks, and it's a place for them to come and meet other people and have a chat, but its people who want to take part in the boycott but don't want to be alone that evening, they are free to come along. many nightclubs and bars say they are making changes. the first is we are providing testing kits to venues so if drink spiking happens on their watch they are able to gather forensic evidence straight away. we have got training guides so staff know exactly what to do. but people seem determined to make a stand, with more demonstrations planned until they feel safe. louisa pilbeam, bbc news. let's take a look at today's papers which are unsurprisingly dominated by yesterday's budget announcement. "the drinks are on us" declares the daily mail under a picture of the chancellor and the prime minster lifting beer kegs. it comes after rishi sunak announced a tax cut on draught beers and prosecco. meanwhile, the mirror describes yesterday's announcement as "the bankers' budget". the headline there is "champagne for the rich — real pain for the poor." the guardian sums it up as "spend now, cut taxes later", claiming rishi sunak intends to slash taxes before the next general election. while the sun leads with an exclusive interview with singer ed sheeran who tells the paper he "ballooned to 15 stone on a diet of wine, beer and chicken wings". he admits he put on weight when he stopped touring, but has since shed five stone. worth saying, the chancellor will be speaking to bbc breakfast at 7:30am. how did you link that to a cheer and losing five stone?

how does that physically affect my performance? # could you be loved and be loved? from the boy abandoned by his father, to the homeless teenager sleeping on a studio floor in kingston so he could wake up and make music, marley's life from cradle to grave is told. marley's music provides the context. it brims over with activism, politics and power. whilst it is political, whilst it is heartfelt, whilst there is an element of activism that is inside it and inherent in bob marley and his music and in the musical...it is also a celebration of him as an individual, of those ideas, of the acceptance of those ideas now. while his music is loved the world over, for those recreating marley's life, the rehearsal room became a deeply private place. people have a really personal connection to bob marley, especially because most people in that room are of caribbean descent and, actually, most people in that room are jamaican heritage. so they grew up not only with the music, but their parents grew up with the music. and it felt like their parents' stories, like... rita reminds me very much of my own mum. putting the life and music of bob marley on stage has taken years. good news, then — that although the show�*s only been on a couple of weeks, its run has been extended to next year, giving us more chance to go and celebrate. emma north, bbc news. fantastic music. really is. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning, i'm sonja jessup. the duchess of cornwall has paid tribute to people whose lives have been 'brutally ended' as she called for action to prevent violence against women. speaking at an event in euston she said the names of women who'd died in violent circumstances, including sarah everard, should never be forgotten. she also said survivors of abuse should be suppoted to end stigma and isolation. it is, as almost all women know, a deeply disturbing experience to be sexually harassed, yet somehow a culture of silence has grown up in which these women conceal their experiences of such offences. why? there are, of course, many explanations, but there is one significant reason on which we are focusing today. shame. talks to save one of surrey 5 main bus operations have collapsed ? putting more than 100 jobs and 14 routes at risk. arriva plans to close its depot in guildford in december, due to falling passenger numbers. surrey council says many residents rely on the service to get them to work, school and medical appointments. surrey county council says many of our residents rely on these services to get them to work, school, medical appointments. london has been ranked as number 11 in a list of the uk's greenest cities, behind sheffield, edingburgh and cardiff.

"challenging months ahead" is what the chancellor rishi sunak warned as he delivered his budget to the house of commons yesterday. thanks to better—than—expected economic recovery from the pandemic, he was able to announce some measures to help businesses and households. but was it enough? ben is in bury for us. good morning, ben. we go through a lot of numbers when the chancellor speaks and then there is that moment in time when we stop and think and people look at their household budgets and try to work out what it means. , y ., budgets and try to work out what it means. , , ., ., ., �*

and we've had some time to examine the i means. yes, you are right, and we've had some time to examine the detail| had some time to examine the detail and all week i have been in burnley, in my hometown and we are in bury, two towns in the north—west singled out in the chancellor's beach yesterday as an example of places where they are spending money to try and level up. there are already some criticism is that it is pretty scarce on detail when it comes to what they will offer places like this but we do have an indication about what the announcements in westminster could mean for personal finances, so let me run you through a few of the headline announcements we got yesterday and there is some good news if you are on universal credit, so if you're in work and claiming universal credit, at the moment if you work more hours, the amount of benefit money you get will be reduced and the level of that is cut will come down from 63p down to 55p so you will be able to keep more of the money you earn if you are in work and there is also a freeze on fuel duty as well which has been frozen for about a decade and the chancellor says the freeze will go on for another year and it might help people who are seeing prices go up help people who are seeing prices go up at the pump but crucially there was no specific help for people who are struggling to pay their gas bills for example. there was also a rise in the minimum wage so if you are over 23 and getting the national living wage, this was one of the announcements leaked earlier in the week which is going up to £9 50 and there will be increases for apprenticeships and those under the age of 23. there was also a big overhaul of alcohol duty, one of the emotive issues on the chancellor likes to give away a little on and basically they've changed the rules so the more alcohol your drink contains, the more tax you will pay on it and the less alcohol, the less tax, so good news for things like sparkling wine and rose but not so good for a strong ciders and red wine and things like that. and also changes to air passenger duty, the tax you pay if you are on a flight, that will go up for long haul flights but crucially it's coming down for domestic flights, much to the dismay of some environmental groups, it has to be said. so what does it all mean for places like this? do the decisions in westminster really filter through to places like this? i was out in burnley yesterday and spoke to a few people about what they made up what the chancellor had to say.— the chancellor had to say. yeah, it's 'ust

week in places like bury but also in burnley tell me, it's fine that wages are going up me, it's fine that wages are going up and they welcome that, but it is swallowed up by rising petrol prices, rising food prices and gas bills and therefore at the end of it all they feel worse off not better. the big picture of where we are now as we _ the big picture of where we are now as we are _ the big

benefit they will really feel from the chancellor's announcement yesterday and it takes announcement yesterday and it takes a little while to filter through, and some of the changes don't come in until 2023 so there is a while to wait for those but nonetheless there are some chunks of cash being spent in bury, in burnley and they will feel the benefits of a national living wage rise but still questions about whether the priorities of the chancellor or right or whether we will feel better off given the price of everything right now seems to be going in one direction and that is up.

sport. what goes up must come down. for manchester city we have a league cup without them. it's only been five years. it's quite an unusual thing. you think manchester city will get through, or even win it, that is the assumption. 2016 was the last time they got knocked out by manchester united and donald trump had not even been elected and it felt like they were part of the furniture. that means there will be a new name on the league cup for the first time since 2018. the holders were beaten 5—3 on penalties by west ham. said benrahma scored the winning spot—kick to send them into the quarter—finals. it wasn't quite the same liverpool side that thrashed manchester united at the weekend. but this brilliant backheel flick from divock 0rigi sealed the victory as they beat championship side preston 2—0. brentford, tottenham, and leicester are also through to the last 8. a busy night in scotland in the premiership — and an emotional one as fans paid tribute to former rangers and scotland manager walter smith, who died this week. a minute's silence was held just before kick—off in all games to honour smith, who also managed everton during his long career. a5 for the football, leaders rangers came from 2 —0 down to draw with aberdeen at ibrox. celtic beat hibs 3—1 to go second. for all the results you can visit the bbc sport website. in spain, barcelona have sacked manager ronald koeman afterjust14 months in the job. it came after they lost to rayo vallecano last night and are down in 9th place in la liga. koeman had been on borrowed time for quite a while — and a defeat to rivals real madrid at the weekend certainly didn't help. they did of course lose star man lionel messi in the summer, with the club facing huge financial problems. former player xavi has been tipped to take over. to cricket and the t20 world cup continues later, as australia play sri lanka. the aussies next opponents will be the in form england on saturday. jason roy hit a half—century yesterday as they thrashed bangladesh by eight wickets in dubai to maintain their perfect start to the tournament. we push each other as hard as we possibly can be pushed. we don't really rest on any game, we treat every single team with the respect they deserve and we go out and we try and play our best cricket, no matter who we are playing against — it's irrelevant. so, yeah, there's no chance we rest on our laurels — we go out there and we give it our all _ but another difficult day for scotland, who lost three wickets in the first over against namibia — before sliding to their second consecutive defeat. the scots now have a week to prepare before facing new zealand. i think we just needed a little bit of time to reflect on that, which we will do as a group, and we'll look to see where we can improve — there's probably a couple of areas. 0bviously being a few wickets down early doesn't make things easy, so... but i don't think we have to go searching too much, we just have to keep sort of backing our skills and keep being clear with the game plans. and bad news for another scot. andy murray has been knocked out of the vienna open. he lost in straight sets to spanish teenager carlos alcaraz in their second round match. british number one cameron norrie plays felix auger aliassime this afternoon. now i saw you both getting a little jumpy about a certain

wise. i agree with holly- _ i start on a more serious note because the met office has two amber weather warnings in force for heavy rain across south—west scotland and also cumbria and an amber weather warning means there is an increased likelihood of impacts due to severe weather on your plans, so it might be the risk of flooding or some travel disruption as well and further heavy rain is coming in the same areas. it's courtesy of the same areas. it's courtesy of the same friend that has been with us for a few days and if you look at the isobars it will be a windy day. we've seen large rainfall totals building across the areas with weather warnings and also across scotland and also northern ireland. this band of rain will move further north getting into scotland and southern and eastern parts and into northern ireland and also through wales and the south—west, quite a bit of cloud and some sunshine and to the north and the rest of scotland, drier than it has been and we're looking at but also showers and these black circles represent the strength of wind you can expect, so it will be noticeable again today. temperature wise we still are above average between 12 and 17 and as you know the average by day is roughly ten between 1a north to south. through the evening and overnight we will have the rain around and still in similar areas and we have the first band, then the second band across scotland and it will be another mild one between eight and 13 as the overnight lows and the average overnight is five to seven so we are way above that. tomorrow we start with a first band of rain and it will push east and we still have the rain coming in across northern ireland, scotland and england and that will drift north and east and later in the day in the west, there will be sunshine and showers and temperatures slipping a bit and we are looking between 11 and 15 and into the weekend we have the nicks system coming our way producing rain moving west to east and breezy conditions and this rain will continue to journey east through saturday but it will be slow to play in the far south—east and the far north of scotland and behind it a lot of dry weather but some showers coming in, especially in the west and these are our temperatures between ten and 1a , so almost bang on for this stage in october and it will be the end of october by then. don't forget first thing on sunday morning you have to put your clocks back an hour so you get an extra hourin back an hour so you get an extra hour in bed, but then you have the nicks system coming in and bringing all the rain and the rain will be falling in similar areas to today and it will be followed by some heavy showers, so the weather certainly for the next few days for some of us is very unsettled and very wet. some of us is very unsettled and ve wet. . ., . ,, , ., "all i want to do is play football and be treated equally" — that was the message from josh cavallo, as he became the only current male professional footballer in the world to come out as gay. in a video clip posted online, the 21—year—old adelaide united midfielder admitted he'd struggled for too long, unable to be himself. lets take a look. there's something personal that i need to share with everyone. i'm a footballer, and i'm gay. growing up, i always felt the need to hide myself because i was ashamed, ashamed i would never be able to do what i love and be gay. you know, hiding who i truly am to pursue a dream i always wished for as a kid. all i want to do is play football and be treated equally. we

who find themselves stuck in the same shadow and it is ok and there's no need to hide away and you can be a role model for these people and that is someone i didn't have. josh, this is charlie. it's really lovely to see you smiling because i am a little bit mindful that in the clip we saw which you posted online, my impression, and that was a very important moment for you, my suspicion is that you felt a lot of weight on your shoulders at that point and it was quite a sombre, serious message and it's an important thing you did, and i'm looking at you now thinking it looks like a load has been lifted. how has it been inside your own head? today i woke up and i closed the old book and opened the real book on me and i've never smiled this much in my life and i had the best sleep last night knowing i could be myself and not live a life of lies, so my cheeks are very sore today but it's a good thing to have.— a good thing to have. that's really lovel to a good thing to have. that's

what you say. you alluded to the fact that you were worried that your career as a footballer, your progression in your industry, would have been hampered if you had spoken sooner. now that you have done this and you are having this wonderful moment we are all part of an away, is there a bit of you thinking, i shouldn't have waited so long. i could have done it sooner. that's not a criticism, but do you reflect on that a little bit? definitely. everybody goes through their personal stages on their personaljourneys and i've come a long way to get to where i am today and it wasn't something i thought overnight, i want to do this today stop it was a long process and journey to get to where i am. it is something you cannot rush and it has to happen naturally and it'sjust funny because in the normal world being gay, it's fine and i want to make it fine in football. it's not seenin make it fine in football. it's not seen in football and there are very talented kids out there who could potentially be someone who is gay and has a lot of talent that could be the next lionel messi or ronaldo and they turn away from the sport because they are scared that people will think of them differently or they won't fit into what a regular player would do or a straight personality is only allowed in football, so it's really good for the diversity of the sport and to show it doesn't matter who you are or what upbringing you have, that you will get accepted and look at the response i received. it you will get accepted and look at the response i received.- the response i received.

team will have a match and i'm really interested in how supportive your team—mates have been, and also behind the scenes, because it's notjust the footballers that we all see on the pitch, it is the whole industry, for want of a better word.— want of a better word. definitely. the first people _ want of a better word. definitely. the first people that _ want of a better word. definitely. the

the first people that came ? that i came out to where my two coaches and i had a meeting with then five weeks ago and i sat them down and i told them because they made me feel comfortable and i felt safe around them and they reassured me and said, you are still the same person and we love you for who you are and it doesn't matter if you're gay or straight, that'sjust doesn't matter if you're gay or straight, that's just one doesn't matter if you're gay or straight, that'sjust one part doesn't matter if you're gay or straight, that's just one part of the and we just want you to be happy and that is something that encouraged me to come in to my team—mates. yesterday was a very scary day for me and i came out to my team—mates in front of my peers and these team—mates are more than just work colleagues, they are my brothers and i was tired of lying to them and having to be on the pitch and think, in the changing room and dressing room, about the conversations i will make—up because i have to rely and act like i am straight and just those worries i had on the field, it's good to put it to rest and put it to bed and there are things i don't want anyone to experience because it's a lonely journey and something that people struggle with, so i'm very pleased and privileged to have the world platform to do this.— and privileged to have the world platform to do this. there will be a

that is a reality check, because of what has happened now, the thing you want most of all is to be another bloke on the pitch kicking a ball. but my hunch is there will be a moment in time that you will get a lot of attention as to how you have played on the day. definitely. and i think it will involve my performances because i told my coaches for a five weeks ago and i went and trained and i felt like there was so much weight off my shoulders so to know that my folks are my friends, my family and my team—mates, even the world knows now and i can't imagine what it will be like to be on the pitch and train and play so i'm really excited to do that and i'm really pleased with how everything went down. josh. that and i'm really pleased with how everything went down.— everything went down.

whose lives have been "brutally ended" — as she called for action to prevent violence against women. speaking at an event in euston she said the names of women who'd died in violent circumstances — including sarah everard — should never be forgotten. she also said survivors of abuse should be supported to end stigma and isolation. it is, as almost all women know, a deeply disturbing experience to be sexually harassed. yet, somehow, a culture of silence has grown up in which these women conceal their experiences of such offences. why? there are, of course, many explanations — but there is one significant reason on which we are focusing today. shame. talks to save one of surrey�*s main bus operations have collapsed ? putting more than a hundred jobs and 1a routes at risk. arriva plans to close its depot in guildford in december, due to falling passenger numbers. but surrey council says many residents rely on the service to get them to work, school and medical appointments. london has been ranked as number 11 in a list of the uk's greenest cities, behind sheffield, edinburgh and cardiff. the study by natwest and the university of southampton ranked cities according to issues such as green space, energy use, recycling and the way we commute. a0 years after they first broke into the top ten charts, duran duran are back with a new album — their 15th. they've been talking to bbc london about it — how they made it, and coming up with new ideas. just sitting there in the back of our minds, waiting to come out. that's true — and, actually, when we get together something... something special always happens. you know, we have an amazing cast of people around us on this record, but there's something, actually, when the four of us get together, there's a real... there's a spark, yeah. more on tonight's programme. turning to the tube now... there are minor delays on the circle, district and metropolitan lines — the district line slow between tower hill and earls court, and turnham green and richmond — engineering works have overrun. time for the weather now with gillian brown. hello there, good morning to you. well, another very mild day on the cards across the capital today. plenty of cloud around, but also some clear spells out there already this morning, but we'll start to see something a little bit brighter coming through this afternoon. it is going to feel blustery again today, though, on this southerly breeze, but very mild — temperatures around 17 celsius. so some clear skies for a time tonight before this band of rain starts to push in from the west, so a very wet start to the day as we head towards dawn on friday. temperatures around maybe 11 or 12 celsius overnight. so a change is on the cards as we head towards tomorrow — this band of rain really going to be with us the best part of the day, and pretty cloudy skies, as well. and as we head towards the weekend there's some more rain in the forecast, as well. i'll be back in half an hour — don't forget, lots more over on our website, including all the information on how good morning, welcome to breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. our headlines today. a £150 billion spending spree from the chancellor — but a warning that high taxes and inflation mean living standards won't improve. and what does that mean for places like burnley, or here in bury? two towns singled out in the chancellor's speech yesterday. how do changes in westminster affect people here? i'll speak to the chancellor in the next half hour. we'll bring you analysis and reaction to the budget throughout the morning, including an interview with the chancellor rishi sunak live at 7.30. police say the gun fired on a film set by actor alec baldwin, killing a colleague, contained a live round. lam iamon i am on the uk's new pallett ship, the sir david attenborough, which is making a brief stop here in greenwich in london before it begins its long journey to antarctica. it's a league cup without manchester city. the holders have been knocked out for the first time in five years — in a penalty shoot—out with west ham. today the met office has two weather warnings, heavy rain for south—west scotland and cumbria. the risk of disruption and flooding. generally today will be windy and mild for the time of year. all the details in nine minutes. it's thursday, the 28th of october. the chancellor, rishi sunak, has outlined a £150 billion spending spree over three years, in his budget. but there are warnings that rising inflation and high taxation could mean no improvement in living standards. our political correspondent, chris mason has the story. any budget is a delicate mix of ingredients. first comes the chancellor's address to the commons. then it's a selling job. here we go. taxes on alcohol are being simplified... cheers! ..so a trip to a brewery was in order. to rishi! and the chancellor is out and about again this morning in what is so often a crucial time after any budget — the day after — as people start to plough through the budget documents to ferret out the details that weren't mentioned in the speech. the chancellor got some really good news for the public finances yesterday. lower borrowing because the economy is doing slightly better and we all thought the six months ago. that is really good news, but good news for public finances was not good news household finances because higher inflation actually helps the chancellor it with his borrowing figures is obviously hurting household budgets and that's why the office for budget responsibility expects household incomes and actually wages to actually not grow at all next year so that is really bad news for everyone worrying about their own budget. here are the key things we learnt. the economy is doing better than some thought, and the government's going to spend the extra money that it raises in taxes. prices are going up — and are likely to for some time. the recent cut in universal credit won't be reversed, but workers who get it will be able to keep more of it as they earn more. and there'll be a 50% discount in business rates in england for the retail, hospitality and leisure sectors — starting next year. the reason that the chancellor has had to set tax levels at the highest level since the early 19505 is because of the government's lamentable record on growth in the last 11 years. where there are chances, as the economy recovers, to cut taxes — as we've shown - through our action on business rates today and as we've shown i through universal credit taper relief, as well — we will do that, i and i suspect that over the course of budgets to come between now and the next election, _ as the chancellor hinted, - we will look to ease the burden of taxation on the public. and the analysis is onlyjust beginning. chris mason, bbc news, at westminster. where are we with that analysis? let's get more reaction now from our chief political correspondent, adam fleming. it takes a couple of days but is a picture emerging? because what we do know is the chancellor is spending a lot of money, but what appears to be emerging is that people are not going to feel much better off. there is a few things _ going to feel much better off. there is a few things going _ going to feel much better off. there is a few things going on _ going to feel much better off. there is a few things going on there. i going to feel much better off. ii—ii” is a few things going on there. if you look at the budget document and read the tables, which is always a good thing to do the next day you will see the main thing happening here is that the economy is performing better than people expected at the start of the year, plus if you add in all of those extra taxes that the chancellor raised earlier in the year, like the increase in corporation tax that is coming up, with a new and social care levy, that gives them about £50 million a extra to spend and he is spending quite a lot of that on government departments so they can pay for public services. he is spending a bit helping with the cost of living, by increasing universal credit for some people, and freezing fuel duty. but those are actually quite small measures when you compare it to what he is raising in taxes from health and social care levy. that is the main thing i get from reading this budget, the biggest thing this year was not in this, it was the announcement on health and social care levy earlier this year. but you also have to read another document that comes alongside the budget, from the office for budget responsibility, and they do the economic forecast. the thing thatjumps out in the document is that they say at some point in the next year inflation could peak at 5% and i just wonder, is that the thing that people are really going to notice in their daily lives? just the price of things going up by quite a lot, rather than any of the measures that are in the budget. i think back to the things we have talked about the last few months. the queues at petrol stations, the massive increase in gas prices, read a shortage of c02. those are all things that blueing as a result of the global economy, rather than as a result of any decisions the government took.- result of any decisions the government took. result of any decisions the covernment took. . «a , . ben will be speaking to the chancellor, rishi sunak, at 7:30. he will be putting some thoughts about how this will feel for people to him at 7:30am. and also going to speak to the shadow chancellor rachel reeves in about five minutes. the duchess of cornwall has paid tribute to people whose lives have been "brutally ended" — as she called for action to prevent violence against women. speaking at an event in london last night, she said we need to "try and get the men in our lives to participate in building a shameless society". sarah everard, sabina nessa, wenjing lin, geetika goyal and bennylyn burke are names which, with all the others, must never be forgotten. each one of these women endured unimaginable torment. and their loved ones who are left behind continue to suffer in the wake of their deaths. ministers are expected to meet today to discuss the future of the covid travel red list. the government is believed to be considering a further reduction in the number of countries on the list — or even scrap it altogether. such a move would end the need for quarantine hotels. police in the united states investigating the accidental killing of a cinematographer on a film set in new mexico, say they believe the weapon used by the actor alec baldwin contained a live round. reports have now emerged about safety concerns on set in the days before halyna hutchins was killed. our us correspondent sophie long reports. it is now nearly a week since 42—year—old halyna hutchins was shot dead while she was doing herjob. these are the last pictures of the cinematographer alive on the set of rust. she's in the blue coat and headphones. you can see alec baldwin beyond the camera. he was holding the gun that fired the shot that killed halyna and severely injured directorjoel souza. we believe that we have in our possession the firearm that was fired by mr baldwin. the actual lead projectile that was fired has been recovered from the shoulder of mr souza. we regard this specific spent casing and recovered projectile to be the live round that was fired from the revolver by mr baldwin. when alec baldwin was handed the weapon by assistant director dave halls, he was told it was safe — what's called a cold gun. the person responsible forfirearms on the set was the armoury — on the set was the armourer — 24—year—old hannah gutierrez—reed. she's admitted ammunition was not secure, but says she checked the guns and found no live rounds. all three are cooperating fully with the investigation. all options are on the table at this point. i'm not commenting on charges — whether they will be filed or not, or on whom. so the answer is, we cannot answer that question yet until we complete a more thorough investigation. the tragedy has left hollywood grieving, and reignited the debate about whether real guns and ammunition should ever be allowed on film sets under any circumstances. sophie long, bbc news. 100 years after

increase of £150 billion over the next three years. let's get reaction now from the shadow chancellor rachel reeves, who joins us from westminster. rachel reeves, good morning. good morninu. rachel

yesterday to the _ morning. only reacted in the commons yesterday to the speech. _ morning. only reacted in the commons yesterday to the speech. the _ yesterday to the speech. the analysis is coming through the day after and in the papers but also the institute for fiscal studies has said this budget is more like gordon brown's, former leader of the labour party, former prime minister, than that of george osborne's. this is a much more labour type budget in terms of taxation than a conservative one. surely that is a good thing from your point of view. of course i welcome the increases in spending on public services and after the last ten, 11 years of austerity, we certainly needed those increases to start to reverse some of those cuts. but if you look at the cost of living, which is a real challenge for families and pensioners around the country right now, if you look at the tax system, which burdens working people and gives a tax cut, if you look at, by the end of parliament is set to just be 1.3%. i don't think this is the sort of budget that gordon brown would have delivered. certainly not the sort of budget i would have delivered if i had been delivering it yesterday. delivered ifi had been delivering it yesterday-— delivered ifi had been delivering it esterda . ~ . . it yesterday. what are the top three thin . s ou it yesterday. what are the top three things you

to see reversed? i you would like to see reversed? i think the key thing is a tax cut you would like to see reversed? i think the key thing is a tax cut for bankers yesterday. over the period of this spending review, tax cut for bankers where £4 million. we wouldn't have done the cut to domestic flight air passenger duty. ifind it astonishing domestic flight air passenger duty. i find it astonishing that the week before the cop26 conference in glasgow this government are prioritising travel by air domestically rather than travel by train. and ifi domestically rather than travel by train. and if i were chancellor, i would be doing much more to get a grip of some of the wasteful spending. £3.5 billion in contracts to friends and donors of the conservative party. £250 million on a vanity yacht project. the test and trace the system, £37 billion that the public accounts committee said treated taxpayers like they were an atm machine, so plenty of things that labour would have done differently in the budget. the key thing for me is about tackling the cost of living crisis that families and pensioners are going to be experiencing this winter. the thing with budgets. _ experiencing this winter. the thing with budgets, as _ experiencing this winter. the thing with budgets, as you _ experiencing this winter. the thing with budgets, as you are - experiencing this winter. the thing with budgets, as you are aware, i with budgets, as you are aware, there are always phrases, there are always tight lines that make the headlines. when you say tax cuts for bankers, that is not what the chancellor said. can you explain that and while you interpret it with a catchphrase line or a throwaway line as tax cuts for bankers? the surcharge _ line as tax cuts for bankers? the surcharge on _ line as tax cuts for bankers? t"te: surcharge on banks has line as tax cuts for bankers? t"t9 surcharge on banks has been line as tax cuts for bankers? “"tt9: surcharge on banks has been reduced during the course of this parliament, so if you look at the office for budget responsibility or at the treasury documents, the announcement yesterday amounted to a tax cut of £1 billion per year for banks, compared to what they were going to be paying under the previous plans. that is £4 billion during the course of this spending review. £4 billion could have been spent on reducing vat, and gas and electricity bills. could have done that four times over. it could have reversed the cuts to universal credit. it could have undone some of the damage that the increase in national insurance increases will do. ,, :, national insurance increases will do, ,, ., , national insurance increases will do. ,, :, , , national insurance increases will do. ,, :, ,:, do. shall we pick up on

the| million people are affected by the £20 per week cut to universal credit, and 1.9 million people benefit from the announcement yesterday, so less than a third of people who lose out from the cut to universal credit will get something back, although not the full amount, from the changes announced yesterday. it is a case of taking with one hand... giving with one hand and then taking much more with the other, and of the £6 billion taken out of universal credit, less than half of that was re—announced yesterday, so people aren't the lowest incomes in our country and on modest incomes by seeing their incomes cut at the time when gas and electricity bills are going up, when the cost billing of our cars is going up, when food prices are going up. so this is a worrying time for many families, also for many pensioners, who are disproportionate amount of their household budgets on gas and electricity bills. which is why i recommended that the government reduce vat on gas and electricity bills from 5% currently to 0% for the next six months. that would be at a cost of £1 billion, so just a quarter of the tax cut from bankers could have been used to cut that vat bill on gas and electricity bills. that would have been my priority is a chancellor, to help people with the cost of living crisis and not give a tax cut to bankers or, indeed, to reduce air passenger duty on

of prep time and then also whilst i was in the chamber of trying to work out what the chancellor was saying and what it actually meant for family finances and business finances. not much time to

morning. very much for your time this morning-— lam seeing i am seeing a rather dramatic image on our monitors here. i will explain first. it first made headlines after thousands of people voted to name it boaty mcboatface — and now britain's newest polar research ship is ready to set sail for its maiden voyage to antarctica. the vessel, which was instead named the rrs sir david attenborough, is currently being displayed on the river thames. our global science correspondent, rebecca morelle, is on board and joins us now. good morning. it is a very dramatic skyline behind you. what setting. absolutely beautiful here this morning on board the sir david attenborough which, as you say, is the uk's very new, very big and very impressive new polar ship and it is making a brief stop here in london. it sailed along the thames last night, it really was quite a sight and it is moored now next to the cutty sark, which you can just see the sales glimpsing through the sunrise. it is going to be a chance for the public to come down to greenwich and take a look at this ship but they will not have long to do it because, really, this ship is getting ready for its main journey. it will be heading down thousands of miles to antarctica, where it will begin its research. it's the most advanced polar ship ever to set sail. named after sir david attenborough, it tookjust four years to build. now it's getting ready for its first voyage to antarctica. seeing the ship amongst the ice, it will be absolutely remarkable. and it's something we are all really looking forward to. working in the antarctic, sometimes you might think you get used to it, but every time it still amazes us. this is a state—of—the—art research ship, and here on the top deck is the helipad so scientists and the crew can be brought to and from the ship while she's at sea. in here, you have the living quarters — a cosy cabin for two — because the crew on here can stay on board for two months at a time. there's room for 30 crew and 60 scientists on the ship. and this is the all—important coffee shop — where, after a hard day of polar research, the crew can come in and take a bit of a break. this big hole in the middle of the ship goes all the way from the sea up to here. it's called a moon pool, and it means that scientists can access the ocean with their instruments, whatever the weather. the moon pool is really significant because it means we can get these really valuable data points. the southern ocean is one of these places that we don't have very many observations from because it's so difficult to get there. and the southern ocean might feel really far away from us here in the uk, but it's really important for our climate as a whole. it takes up a lot of the carbon dioxide and the heat that we put into the atmosphere. it's notjust the water — scientists will be studying every aspect of this rapidly changing ecosystem, from the animals that live there to the creatures they feed on and the nature of the ice itself. this ship will transform our understanding of the poles. the beauty of this ship is that we can bring lots of scientists from different diverse disciplines together on the same ship with lots of brilliant state—of—the—art facilities for each of those groups. so we can bring biologists, chemists, geologists, physicists all together. and that's really important when we're addressing issues around the environment. and, of course, you can't come on board without mentioning boaty mcboatface. it's what the public voted to call the ship. but instead, the's been given to this — a mini submarine — and soon it's going to be heading off to explore the antarctic ocean. the sir david attenborough will head off in a few weeks, stopping at the falklands on the way to antarctica. and the man it's named after has recorded a special message for when it sets sail. david attenborough: your attention, please. any personnel on board not sailing with the vessel, please disembark. it's amazing to hear that message from sir david attenborough reverberating around the ship. i am joined by professor damejayne francis, director of the british antarctic survey. the ship has come here ahead of the un climate summits starting in a few days. how important is it, having a ship to understand what is happening in the polar regions? taste understand what is happening in the

silence" for women who've survived abuse. speaking at an event in euston, she paid tribute to victims of male violence. she said survivors also needed to know they were not alone and to end the stigma of abuse. it is, as almost all women know, a deeply disturbing experience to be sexually harassed. yet, somehow, a culture of silence has grown up in which these women conceal their experiences of such offences. why? there are, of course, many explanations — but there is one significant reason on which we are focusing today. shame. talks to save one of surrey s main bus operations have collapsed, putting more than 100 jobs and ia routes at risk. arriva plans to close its depot in guildford in december, due to falling passenger numbers. but surrey council says many residents rely on the service to get them to work, school and medical appointments. london has been ranked as number 11 in a list of the uk's greenest cities, behind sheffield, edinburgh and cardiff. the study by natwest and the university of southampton ranked cities according to issues such as green space, energy use, recycling and the way we commute. a0 years after they first broke into the top ten charts, duran duran are back with a new album, their 15th. they've been talking to bbc london about it — how they made it, and coming up with new ideas. just sitting there in the back of our minds, waiting to come out. that's true — and, actually, when we get together something... something special always happens. you know, we have an amazing cast of people around us on this record, but there's something, actually, when the four of us get together, there's a real... there's a spark, yeah. more on tonight's programme. turning to the tube now. there are minor delays on the district and metropolitan lines, the district line slow between tower hill and earls court, and turnham green and richmond, engineering works have overrun. time for the weather now with gillian brown. i'll be back in an hour. hello there, good morning to you. well, another very mild day on the cards across the capital today. plenty of cloud around, but also some clear spells out there already this morning, but we'll start to see something a little bit brighter coming through this afternoon. it is going to feel blustery again today, though, on this southerly breeze, but very mild — temperatures around 17 celsius. so some clear skies for a time tonight before this band of rain starts to push in from the west, so a very wet start to the day as we head towards dawn on friday. temperatures around maybe 11 or 12 celsius overnight. so a change is on the cards as we head towards tomorrow — this band of rain really going to be with us the best part of the day, and pretty cloudy skies, as well. and as we head towards the weekend there's some more rain in the forecast, as well. i'll be back in an hour. don't forget lots more over on our website. now, it's back to charlie and naga. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. let's get more now on the details of rishi sunak�*s big—spending budget. ben is with the chancellor in bury. you are at a market this morning in

previously said public sector workers will receive a fair and affordable pay rise. so if inflation hits 4%, willie commit to giving them 4% or more, because if you don't, that's a pay cut? ? will you

bury for the rest of the day and there will be more from me in bury later. thank you very much. here's carol with a look at this morning's weather. important warnings you have to give some of us in the uk. yes, quite right, the met office has two amber weather warnings in force for heavy rain, for south—west scotland and also for cumbria and we have had heavy and persistent rain especially in these areas for the last couple of days and an amber weather warning means there is an increased likelihood of impacts on your plans due to the severe weather, be it flooding, travel disruption, and the weather front responsible for this is still with us today again and there are some unconfirmed reports that around the hollister pass area there has been 307 millimetres of rainfall in 24 hours up to three am this morning and you can see some of it here. that is just over and you can see some of it here. that isjust over a and you can see some of it here. that is just over a foot of rain in 24 hours and it is still raining and there is more rain to come but we will confirm that when we know ourselves. you can see where the weather front is producing all the rain and some of it gets into wales and south—west england and some of it getting into central, southern and eastern parts of scotland. to the north—west of that, drier and brighter with a few showers for scotland and northern ireland and to the south of it, a fair bit of cloud but nonetheless we will see sunny intervals and these black circles represent the strength of the wind, so it will be fairly windy wherever you are today and it will also be mild for the time of year with temperatures between 12 and 17 . as we head through the evening and overnight we still have the rain, still impacting the kind of areas that it impacts during the day and then we have a second hand joining it coming up from the south and pushing steadily northwards. still windy and these are the overnight lows between eight and 13 and they are above average for this stage in october and normally we would be looking at roughly between five and seven, so tomorrow we start with the first band of rain edging east and then we have a second one following in hot pursuit and then it dries out in hot pursuit and then it dries out in the west as things will brighten up in the west as things will brighten up and we will see some sunshine but there will also be showers and it's not going to be as windy. temperatures of anything just slipping a little bit. into the weekend we have the next system coming our way, so friday into saturday a weather front brings rain from the west to east and the spacing on the isobars is wider so it will be breezy rather than windy and there goes the weather front taking the rain with it and lingering across the far south—east and the north—east of scotland the longest. a lot of dry weather around and a few showers, and it will be breezy as well. temperatures more or less bang on average for the time of year and saturday looks like being the driest day of the weekend and don't forget, early on sunday morning put your clocks back an hour and then for sunday itself, we have got a weather front coming up from the south—west pushing steadily northwards and heavy showers following behind and the wind picking up and the far north of scotland should stay the driest and temperatures between ten and 14, may 15 . lots of rain. i was going to say thank you, really. it’s lots of rain. i was going to say thank you, really.— lots of rain. i was going to say thank you, really. it's a pleasure. a

a busy night in scotland in the premiership — and an emotional one as fans paid tribute to former rangers and scotland manager walter smith, who died this week. a minute's silence was held just before

last night and are down in 9th place in la liga. koeman had been on borrowed time for quite a while, and a defeat to rivals real madrid at the weekend certainly didn't help. they did of course lose star man lionel messi in the summer — with the club facing huge financial problems. former player xavi has been tipped to take over. we heard from josh carvallo a little earlier in the programme. he's

themselves a star on the hollywood walk of fame. did you enjoy chatting to them? one did you en'oy chatting to them? one ofthe did you enjoy chatting to them? one of the things — did you enjoy chatting to them? que: of the things that did you enjoy chatting to them? i9 of the things that comes across clearly talking to duran duran is that they have done a lot of miles. they have got miles on the clock, and yet, they still get on. there have been some some rows along the way, but the feeling is good when you meet them and they will be performing. and they will be performing. and they will be performing live, which will make a lot of people happy. i went to meet them. can ijust say, for people who don't know, we've been here a while, we've been sitting in this room waiting to get up. there is such a good vibe in the room with you four guys. we are super excited to have a new record coming. it's been quite a long road, the last five years. we all know the horrors that we went through for that sort of 18 month period with the pandemic. is it a silly thing to say that the new album, it really does sound like duran duran? no! i mean it really does, it really does. it's a very silly thing to say, but it's true. we want to experiment with music. that's what excites us, finding the new tunes, the kind of musical relationships, new beats, new sounds. but if it doesn't sound like duran duran, fans who we've got, who kept us going all these years are not going to like it. do you ever look at what people say about your songs? not really. 0k, here's some nice ones. someone hasjust watched invisible and they've seen the video and whatever and someone writes, "i am 50—something now, it makes me feel 16 again." that's a lovely feeling, isn't it? another one says, "sit down, grand kids. let's see how we really did it in the '80s." that's interesting because that particular video for invisible has no markers of time for a period. i mean, it's a very modern piece, actually. # has the memory gone? # are you feeling numb? # or have i become invisible? what i'm thinking is, though, it's an emotional attachment to all of you and a time and place. it was a time for maverick all sorts of things. it was maverick music, maverick fashion design, maverick art and people were really prepared to stick their necks out at the time, and so if you looked at the charts, you'd see all kinds of artists — madonna, fine young cannibals — all kinds of different artists, and none of them were anything like anybody else who was in the charts. and i think that, as music has become slightly more corporate as time has gone by, there has been kind of an encouragement for artists to kind of head for the middle and to do what is proved to be a successful formula. i also know what you mean about the emotional attachment. we go to america and the song rio was so much a part of the american culture that if we don't play that song at the end of the show, there could be a riot. # her name is rio and she dances on the sand. that song is a good song. that's a great song. it's not bad. did something happen on board that went wrong in the filming of it? was it... you have got a good story. i was the least — maybe except for nick — the least—experienced yachtsperson that day and, you know, i thought it would be really funny in the last scene to sort ofjust tip andy over the edge of the boat and, you know, let him go. of course that happens and everybody in the boat goes, "no!" # her name is rio, she don't need to understand. no way he was going to sink. he's a geordie — he wasn't going to sink. you can't get rid of him that easily. we came back for a reunion about 12 years ago and he still had _ a resentment about it. laughter. "haven't you got over that yet?!" do you find over time that there are stories about duran duran, you're thinking, oh, that's never happened, or...? we make them up ourselves. i think it was the first time we were working on the second album in the south of france and you, rog, you had gone out and you were using an air rifle. just practising with an air rifle. and there was a photographer, paparazzi had sort of posted himself in the bushes to try to see whatever we were getting up to, and he managed to get a photo of him and they presented it in one of the papers like he was shooting at the photographer. if only i could have seen him more clearly. you were like, "wow." these were some quite extreme times, and i mean that in the best possible way. # wild boys never lose it. # wild boys never chose this way. we went to new york and we did an appearance at the video shack to go and sign some videos, and so many thousands of fans turned up for that event, it blocked the street and they actually got mounted police in to manage the crowd. the strangest thing that happened to me was with my first royalty cheque. i bought this great big house in maida vale in london, which i was never at because i was always on tour while we were recording somewhere, and i came back from the tour, walked into my hallway, went into the kitchen and there was a note saying, "roger, i'm your biggest fan, i'm from italy and i broke into your house and i've been in here for a few days. i haven't taken anything but ijust wanted you to know that i was here." that was probably the strangest one. 0k... top that one? that takes the biscuit. i feel like i've known you for a long time. you used to perform at the rum runner in birmingham, right? we were looking for somewhere to play. something that punk rock did — it broke out of all the conventional venues. you really didn't want to be playing where everybody else was. you weren't going to play some public residency so, you know, one afternoon, nick and i, i think we saw a poster for the rum runner and i think it was a bowie night or something. we were like, "why don't we go and check that place out?" we went back that night and it was a friday night and the scene was incredible. it was an incredible crossroads of culture, actually, what was going on at that moment. it was like a micro culture of how society would want to be. you could get in there if you were gay, transgender, black, white, whatever kind of music you're into, as long as it was cool, you could get in there, and everybody really mixed and it was a really cool... a really great place for us to form our sound and our look. can i take you through the look i was sporting in the early days of duran duran? yes, please! before we go any further, did anybody ever stop - you from going in at the door? yes. a lot. so the club you were playing at, i couldn't get into. but i'll take you through the outfit, 0k? i was going to say, - if you had a photo we could probably find you... we could tell you why you didn't get in. laughter. there are no photos from those days, as you know. you weren't wearing those socks, were you? so, i'll take you through the outfit, 0k? winkle—picker shoes, purple. silver balloon trousers with, like, about eight buttons up here across the waist. it's a wonder you didn't get in. a donkeyjacket and, on the top, a beret. right. wow. i think it was the donkeyjacket. i think you were confused. and i think you found the perfectjob. balloon pants and a donkeyjacket! definitely not. i'm going to go home and try it on as soon as we finish this. i it's dexys midnight runners, i think was your problem. i think they were right. your outfit didn't sound confused. which is why i was turned away. they look like they get on so well and they are in a good place. lovely. stay with us, headlines coming up. good morning, welcome to breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. our headlines today. a £150 billion spending spree from the chancellor, but a warning that high taxes and inflation mean living standards won't improve. rishi sunak tells me he is not happy at being a high tax chancellor but he defends the impact his budget will have on the rising cost of living. eat less meat and fly less often — that's the advice from leading scientists ahead of a major climate change conference. we'll speak to the government's chief scientific adviser sir patrick vallance later in the programme. good morning. the met office has two weather warnings out at the moment for heavy rain across south—west scotland and cumbria. this could lead to potentially disruption and also flooding. a windy day for all and very mild. all the details later in the programme. good morning. it's thursday, the 28th of october. our main story. the chancellor, rishi sunak, has outlined a £150 billion spending programme over three years in his budget. but there are warnings that rising inflation and high taxation could mean no improvement in living standards. our political correspondent chris mason has the story. any budget is a delicate mix of ingredients. first comes the chancellor's address to the commons. then it's a selling job. here we go. taxes on alcohol are being simplified... cheers! ..so a trip to a brewery was in order. to rishi! and the chancellor is out and about again this morning in what is so often a crucial time after any budget — the day after — as people start to plough through the budget documents to ferret out the details that weren't mentioned in the speech. the obr says you have raised more

than some thought, and the government's going to spend the extra money that it raises in taxes. prices are going up — and are likely to for some time. the recent cut in universal credit won't be reversed, but workers who get it will be able to keep more of it as they earn more. and there'll be a 50% discount in business rates in england for the retail, hospitality and leisure sectors — starting next year. if you look at the cost of living, which _ if you look at the cost of living, which is — if you look at the cost of living, which is a — if you look at the cost of living, which is

i would have delivered. the chancellor got some really good news for the public finances yesterday. lower borrowing because the economy's doing slightly better than we all thought six months ago — that's really good news — but good news for public finances, wasn't good news household finances because higher inflation that actually helped the chancellor with his borrowing figures is obviously hurting household budgets and that's why the office for budget responsibility expects household incomes — and, actually, wages — to actually not grow at all next year, so that's really bad news for everyone worrying about their own budgets. and the analysis is onlyjust beginning. chris mason, bbc news, at westminster. let's get more reaction now from our chief political correspondent, adam fleming. he has been wading through the red book and the blue book that you saw there. that morning. it has been really interesting. benbury was talking to the chancellor in bury market earlier. in talking to the chancellor in bury market earlier.— talking to the chancellor in bury market earlier. in the short term labour i market earlier. in the short term labour l saying — market earlier. in the short term labour i saying that _ market earlier. in the short term labour i saying that the - market earlier. in the short term i labour i saying that the government has made the wrong choices by having a tax cut for banks and also cutting the air passenger duty on domestic flights. they say that that money would instead be better targeted at helping people with the cost of living. then you have the think tanks, like the institute for fiscal studies, who traditionally the morning after the budget do their analysis and they are saying, well, the committee is putting up taxes on the committee is putting up taxes on the average household by thousands and thousands of pounds, inflation is going to go up, potentially as high as 5% next year, and wages and household incomes are not keeping pace with that. so rishi sunak is now this morning having to defend what he did yesterday on the cost of living and he is pointing to things like the extra billions of pounds going into universal credit, the freeze on fuel duty, and the freeze on alcohol duty. over the next few weeks, will that seem like he has done enough? the political battle, i wonder, in the longer term, once the turbulence in the global economy and inflation is potentially out of the way, i think could be with his own party, conservative mps, some of whom are not very happy about the idea of a bigger government that takes more in taxes permanently. short—term battle on the cost of living, maybe a longer term battle onjust living, maybe a longer term battle on just how big the government is and how much tax it raises. indeed, thank ou and how much tax it raises. indeed, thank you so — and how much tax it raises. indeed, thank you so much. _ the duchess of cornwall has paid tribute to people whose lives have been "brutally ended" — as she called for action to prevent violence against women. speaking at an event in london last night, she said we need to "try and get the men in our lives to participate in building a shameless society". sarah everard, sabina nessa, wenjing lin, geetika goyal and bennylyn burke are names which, with all the others, must never be forgotten. each one of these women endured unimaginable torment. and their loved ones who are left behind continue to suffer in the wake of their deaths. ministers are expected to meet today to discuss the future of the covid travel red list. the government is believed to be considering a further reduction in the number of countries on the list — or even scrap it altogether. such a move would end the need for quarantine hotels. police in the united states investigating the killing of a cinematographer on a film set in new mexico, say they believe the weapon used by the actor alec baldwin contained a live round. reports have now emerged about safety concerns on set in the days before halyna hutchins was killed. our us correspondent sophie long reports. it is now nearly a week since 42—year—old halyna hutchins was shot dead while she was doing herjob. these are the last pictures of the cinematographer alive on the set of rust. she's in the blue coat and headphones. you can see alec baldwin beyond the camera. he was holding the gun that fired the shot that killed halyna and severely injured directorjoel souza. we believe that we have in our possession the firearm that was fired by mr baldwin. the actual lead projectile that was fired has been recovered from the shoulder of mr souza. we regard this specific spent casing and recovered projectile to be the live round that was fired from the revolver by mr baldwin. when alec baldwin was handed the weapon by assistant director dave halls, he was told it was safe — what's called a cold gun. the person responsible forfirearms on the set was the armourer — 24—year—old hannah gutierrez—reed. she's admitted ammunition was not secure, but says she checked the guns and found no live rounds. all three are cooperating fully with the investigation. all options are on the table at this point. i'm not commenting on charges — whether they will be filed or not, or on whom. so the answer is, we cannot answer that question yet until we complete a more thorough investigation. the tragedy has left hollywood grieving, and reignited the debate about whether real guns and ammunition should ever be allowed on film sets under any circumstances. sophie long, bbc news. 100 years after the poppy appeal was first launched, thousands of fundraisers will once again take to the streets in support of the royal british legion. last

way to do that and there is a lot of research and development media. second is we need to invest in the technologies for the future will then continue that and make certain parts of that easier and we also need to accept them has got to be some change in society in terms of the way we consume and the way we contribute to missions and those things together, i think, i contribute to missions and

then there are little things we can all do that may seem tiny individually but you aggregate them across millions and it makes a difference. i cycle to work, i have reduced my meat consumption, i don't fly as much as i used to. doesn't mean i have stopped meat consumption, doesn't mean i will never fly again. stopped meat consumption, doesn't mean i will neverfly again. i am going to but i will reduce those things and i think those aggregate actions across millions make a difference, as well, but on their own they are not sufficient. we need to get the technologies in place and we need

i could get your thoughts on yesterday's budget, in which rishi sunak, amongst other things talked about domestic flying and announced about domestic flying and announced a 50% cut in air passenger duty. effectively incentivising people to use the plane to get around the uk. what are your thoughts? weill. use the plane to get around the uk. what are your thoughts?— what are your thoughts? well,

growth of science and spent both in the public sector and private sector, that will be critical for net zero, difficult work pandemic preparedness and all sorts of things. in terms of the future we can see that flying will move to sustainable aviation fuels, electric transport and so on so the future looks different from now but i think it is a personal choice here and my personal choice is to decrease the amount of flying doing. i will repeat the question if i may. the chancellor yesterday announced an incentive for flying the chancellor yesterday announced an incentive forflying domestically in the uk. the 50% cut in air passenger duty. was that the right thing to do, given what you have just told us, about personal choices, but also about messaging? feel free to say what you wish, because a lot of people have said, and you will know this very well, there is a real contradiction between the big messages about not playing so much, you have already mentioned that, and then the government, the chancellor saying they should be incentivised within they should be incentivised within the uk. ~ “ they should be incentivised within the uk. ~ ~ ., the uk. well, i thinkl have

given my view on the science view, i the uk. well, i thinkl have given i my view on the science view, which is consistent with what is in the letter from over 40 science advisers across the world, we are clear that actually these things matter and the reduction. it is important to recognise this is not a uk issue but a global issue and governments across the world to think about what actions they will take and i have given you what i think is a consistent science advice which would be given across the world from scientists to leaders, it is up to leaders of course to decide how they want to implement that, and the policy decisions they make. i understand the delicacy around this but your advice to the chancellor would have been, that is not the right thing to do for the global climate, is that right?- right thing to do for the global climate, is that right? well, my advice is that _ climate, is that right? well, my advice is that all _ climate, is that right? well, my advice is that

taking some action to reduce the amount we fly would be beneficial. it is not the only thing. of course lots of other things need to happen, as well. and of course politicians need to make choices based on all sorts of other considerations but that is the science advice in terms of climate and i have been clear about that. i have also been clear that over the longer term it is important that we get to sustainable ways of flying which don't cause carbon emissions and there is a lot of work going on on that. iii and there is a lot of work going on on that. :, and there is a lot of work going

to do with the pandemic. there have been some differing modelling in relation to where various organisations think that covid rate is going at the moment. can you give us your latest modelling predictions, looking over the next few months?— modelling predictions, looking over the next few months? well, you are riiht, the the next few months? well, you are right, the models _ the next few months? well, you are right, the models are _ the next few months? well, you are right, the models are quite - right, the models are quite uncertain at the moment and we have got variability of modelling input. nobody is really clear which direction this is going on. but they are clear about the two big variables that could change that. one is a waning immunity, so if immunity wanes faster than expected, you will see a bigger increase and thatis you will see a bigger increase and that is why it is so important to get a booster shots in the vulnerable and elderly in particular and the second is a behavioural change, how quickly we return to pre—pandemic behaviours, they make the modelling uncertain and of course what may happen with variants that we don't know about. as a result of that, as we aggregate the models, most say it looks fairly flat stop don't expect the very big peaks we have had in the past. it looks fairly flat but at a very high level at the moment, so the high level at the moment, so the high level remains our concern from a high level you can go quite quickly. john inman is been speaking about the children and the fact that there have been high levels there and as immunity builds from vaccination and from infection in that group, there will be a resistance of transmission, so you may expect that to level off and his model suggests decrease and i think we need to monitor this very carefully over the next few weeks and months. people will be familiar _ next few weeks and months. people will be familiar not _ next few weeks and months. people will be familiar not with _ next few weeks and months. people will be familiar not with the - will be familiar not with the precise figures, i know there was a total of 49,000 recently, i think it was 42,000 cases yesterday. when you talk about things flattening out, is it idols acceptable levels when over 40,000 cases per day... do you think, as the government chief scientific adviser, those are levels which we can accept and deal with? that is a societal question. they are high levels in those high levels of course translate into levels of hospitalisation, but levels of hospitalisation, but levels of hospitalisation i very much reduced by vaccination. if we had level cases like this without vaccination, look back a year or so, you would have huge levels of hospitalisation of the vaccines are protecting, which is why it is so important to get full vaccination coverage across the vulnerable populations and the adults in particular and the booster doses. in terms of what level you want, the lower the level the better in terms of overall outcome, but there are costs and consequences of decisions in both directions. that is a societal question about what levels are acceptable. i will say this and it is important to make the point, as infection becomes gradually endemic, it will occur year on year, we will see this circulating every winter, i suspect, in particular, and so gradually, as immunity bills, the protection will be there, the consequences will be reduced. but we are not there yet. we still have people going into hospital, still a significant risk. sir patrick

survived abuse. speaking at an event in euston, she paid tribute to those who lost their lives to male violence, and urged women to speak out about their experiences to end the stigma of abuse. it is, as almost all women know, a deeply disturbing experience to be sexually harassed. yet, somehow, a culture of silence has grown up in which these women conceal their experiences of such offences. why? there are, of course, many explanations — but there is one significant reason on which we are focusing today. shame. talks to save one of surrey s main bus operations have collapsed, putting more than 100 jobs and 14 routes at risk. arriva plans to close its depot in guildford in december, due to falling passenger numbers. but surrey council says many residents rely on the service to get them to work, school and medical appointments. london has been ranked as number 11 in a list of the uk's greenest cities, behind sheffield, edinburgh and cardiff. the study by natwest and the university of southampton ranked cities according to issues such as green space, energy use, recycling and the way we commute. 40 years after they first broke into the top ten charts, duran duran are back with a new album — their 15th. they've been talking to bbc london about it — how they made it, and coming up with new ideas. just sitting there in the back of our minds, waiting to come out. that's true — and, actually, when we get together something... something special always happens. you know, we have an amazing cast of people around us on this record, but there's something, actually, when the four

there, good morning to you. well, another very mild day on the cards across the capital today. plenty of cloud around, but also some clear spells out there already this morning, but we'll start to see something a little bit brighter coming through this afternoon. it is going to feel blustery again today, though, on this southerly breeze, but very mild — temperatures around 17 celsius. so some clear skies for a time tonight before this band of rain starts to push in from the west, so a very wet start to the day as we head towards dawn on friday. temperatures around maybe 11 or 12 celsius overnight. so a change is on the cards as we head towards tomorrow — this band of rain really going to be with us the best part of the day, and pretty cloudy skies, as well. and as we head towards the weekend there's some more rain in the forecast, as well. i'll be back in half an hour and don't forget, lots more over on our website. now it's back to charlie and naga. bye for now. hello, this is

today. that's right. we aet telling you today. that's right. we net the bi telling you today. that's right. we get the big headline _ telling you today. that's right. we | get the big headline announcement telling you today. that's right. we - get the big headline announcement on budget day but the devil is always on the detail and it takes a day or so for everyone to work out what the announcements really mean for their day—to—day personal finances and we've been doing that and i've been chatting to the chancellor in bury this morning about some of the measures he says he has taken to try and ease the squeeze on incomes. we know prices are going up are so many things, whether it's your gas bill, petrol at the four 7 food court and he has said he's taken action to ease that. let's look at some of the detail we got in the budget and what it could mean for our budgets at home. there were changes to the level on universal credit and at the moment the threshold means that the more you work, you lose 63p but it's now being reduced to 55p so it means you keep more of what you own so thatis you keep more of what you own so that is one of the headline announcement even though you know the consular cut the £20 of lift in universal credit being offered to people in the pandemic. he also froze fuel duty which has been frozen for ten years, nearly a decade and he says that will be frozen for another year and that is a crucial thing to maybe ease the burden on our pockets. particularly, and some criticism that he did not announce anything that would help ease the burden on gas bills, there was no cut in vat or helping anyone with their day—to—day energy bills and there was also the rise in the minimum wage leaked in the wee 7 in the week, so if you're 23 or over it goes up to £9 50 an hour so they have hailed that as a boost for low—paid workers and there was a big overall in alcohol duty, streamlining the system that means the more alcohol and drink housing, the more alcohol and drink housing, the more alcohol and drink housing, the more you will pay, so good news for things like sparkling wine or rose but not so good for high alcohol ciders or red wine for example. also changes to air passenger duty which have been introduced in the last budget and thatis introduced in the last budget and that is one of the concerns, particularly from the environmental protesters about climate change so they are reducing it on domestic flights but not on international flights but not on international flights and we do have a little visitor here this morning, bear with me. i was talking to the chancellor in bury earlier and i to him that there were announcements in some quarters, but he is also taxing people a lot more. an independent observer pointing out that he has raised tax more this year than any other chancellor since 1993, so i put it to him that he was a high tax chancellor and asked him if he really liked that title. the 0b r says

get through all of the pages of the budget documents. you get the headlines in the speech we heard from the chancellor yesterday and i will be speaking to him this morning telling us detail about the announcements and why there was not more specific targeted support but he says overall he is hoping he will be able to start cutting taxes later as things start to improve and has also been hailing big economic growth as some of the forecasts are revising the economy upwards but it's worth saying that is coming from a pretty low base, during the pandemic. a lot of work still ahead as we digester

days. currently, the met office has two amber weather warnings in force for heavy rain across south—west scotland and also cumbria. an amber weather warning means there is an increased likelihood of disruption or impacts due to the severe weather and it might be flooding or travel interruptions. and it's because of the weather front, a waving front, and it drips a little bit further south and further north but it's been raining fairly consistency in parts of south—west scotland and north—west england in particular and there are an conformed reports that in the lake district there's been an excess of 300 millimetres, in excess of a foot in the last 24 hours and more rain to come today. as you can see some heavy rain moving across central scotland and through wales and south—west england. to the south of that we are looking at brighter skies and still a fair bit of cloud at times and to the north of the band of rain, bright across scotland and northern ireland with a few showers. these black circles indicate the strength of the wind gusts, so wherever you are it will be a windy day. it will also be mild with temperatures between 12 and i7 . with temperatures between 12 and 17 . through the evening and overnight the rain continues to fall in similarareas and overnight the rain continues to fall in similar areas and we have a new weather front in similar areas and we have a new weatherfront bringing in similar areas and we have a new weather front bringing more in similar areas and we have a new weatherfront bringing more rain across northern ireland and scotland and with all of this going on in the wind, it's not going to be a cold night. these are the overnight lows, between eight and 14 and normally at this stage in october it would be between five and 7 . tomorrow he was the first band of rain heading east followed in hot pursuit by the second and also heading eastwards, and it will clear up in the west and still a few showers and it's not going to be as windy as it is today. temperatures between 11 and 16 , so slipping by a degree or so and as we head into friday and saturday we have a weather front coming in from the west and that will move eastwards in the isobars are more widely spaced, so rather than being windy it will be breezy and there goes the rain moving from east to west and then lingering longest in the far east and then saturday looks like being the driest day of the weekend but although there will be sunshine behind the rain there will be showers, especially in the west but one thing you will notice is the difference in the temperature. the clocks go back on the early hours of sunday morning, bank one hour and on sunday morning, bank one hour and on sunday itself we have a new weather front moving west and takes the rain with it and it's likely to be persistent and the wind will pick up behind this and temperatures between ten and 14 and a lot of wet weather forecast for the next few days. don't
