record high, and the office for budget responsibility says it would represent the largest fall in living standards since the 19505. our business correspondent emma simpson reports. these reforms will save around two million self—employed people an average of £350 a yearfrom april. better than nothing. tuning into the autumn statement at walthamstow market. a good place to test the mood. pensioners seemed happy. him increasing pension, that's good for me. and young workers like the rise in the minimum wage too. 10% more i'm going to win — i'm going to earn. yeah. — who wouldn't like it? but other workers said the cut to national insurance isn't enough. not with the way things are at the moment. the cost of living is too expensive. £450, divide that by 12, divide it by the family that you've got. is it enough? i don't think so. here are the key details. first, that national insurance cut. it's going from 12% to ten for all employees from january. the self—employed will see a tax cut too. the state pension is going up by 8.5% a week from april, honouring the so—called triple lock. universal credit and other working age benefits will increase by nearly 7%, while a tax break for business to encourage investment has been made permanent. that's deducting what they spend on new equipment from their profits. this is just a start. but we promised that when we're in a position to reduce the burden on families, who've been going through a very tough time, we would. and the taxes we've chose, perhaps they're not the headline taxes, but they will help to grow the economy and grow people's salaries. and that's the way that we'll get living standards up for families up and down the country. but overall, the tax burden is still rising because of the freeze in income tax thresholds. labour says we're going to be worse off. i think we already knew going into this statement that working people won't be better off and aren't better off after 13 years. but what we now know is nothing the government is planning to do will change that. now we have made a principle focus of our policy platform about stronger and better economic growth. and frankly, that is the only way that we will see reasonable burdens in terms of taxation, and reasonable funding of public services in future. now, what was required in this budget — i mean, the chancellor said it would be a budget for growth. growth has been downgraded next year, the year after that and the year after that. the government believes it's tipped things in the right direction. but the uk's official economic watchdog says growth is likely to be weaker. and we're still facing the largest fall in real living standards for 70 years. emma simpson, bbc news. we're joined now by our chief political correspondent henry zeffman, who is in downing street. morning to you. people have had a chance to have a think about how this is affecting them at home and in their business. two things can be true. the overall tax burden is still rising, and yet this is the biggest tax cut, mini budget, for 70 years? biggest tax cut, mini budget, for 70 ears? . �* , biggest tax cut, mini budget, for 70 ears? ., �* , ., , years? that's right, charlie. this was an autumn _ years? that's right, charlie. this was an autumn statement - years? that's right, charlie. this was an autumn statement which i years? that's right, charlie. this - was an autumn statement which laid out the contours, the tram lines, for the political debate we are going to see for the next year or so. that is true for both sides of the argument. for the conservatives they can say this was a big tax cut for business and for workers. that is both with the full expense change for businesses and the cut to national insurance for workers. at labour and other parties can say, indeed are already saying, hang on a second, the tax burden is still on course to rise to a post—war high. and if you drill down into the data, growth has been revised downwards. inflation is looking like it will be more persistent than it was previously thought to be. and living standards are still looking pretty shabby. so, ithink standards are still looking pretty shabby. so, i think what you have your really is a guide to what we are going to be seen playing out between the two parties for months to come. i say monster, a bit vaguely. because one of the weirder things, one of the unusual things that happened in the autumn statement yesterday, usually any changes to tax would come in at the start at the next tax year, april. jeremy hunt said within the national insurance change, that is not going to happen. he said, actually, there will be emergency legislation so that comes in early next year. why might that be? well, plenty of people in parliament think that might point the way to an election sooner than we think, perhaps as sooner than we think, perhaps as soon as may. thank you. we'll have full analysis of the chancellor's autumn statement throughout the programme — and you can also find more on the bbc news website. six minutes past six. naga, you have more money change really and what we thought was going to happen today in the middle east. yeah, we were expecting an announcement today but that has been delayed. the release of 50 israeli hostages from gaza by hamas has been put back until tomorrow at the earliest. a pause in the fighting, which was due to come into effect this morning, will also be delayed. no reason for the delay was given, though israel said talks about the deal were progressing. hamas is designated as a terrorist organisation by the uk. 0ur middle east correspondent yolande knell reports. the continuing anguish. this was the day some israeli hostage families had hoped to see their loved ones again. but late last night there was news of a 24—hour delay, also affecting the release of palestinian prisoners. israeli reports say hamas and qatar, which is mediating, haven't yet signed the truce deal. children are supposed to be among the first israelis freed. this woman desperately wants her son and daughter back. they were snatched with her ex—husband on the 7th of october. i just want to hug my children, to kiss them, to protect them, to promise them that it will never happen again. that's all i want. i don't care about nothing. but my life has been broken apart. my wife wants to be the same again. and their life wants to be the same. camping on the street, and crammed into public shelters like this un school, in gaza the weight also continues for a promised four—day truce. without enough food to go around, a pause is meant to clear a path for hundreds of lorries carrying goods, fuel and medical supplies. even then aid agencies have been warning much more needs to be done. and palestinians living amid the destruction are wary about any pause in fighting. "what use is this truce? people are being displaced either way. what benefit do we get?" asks this woman. "we want a complete ceasefire. we want a truce to stop the bloodshed. our children are lost." gaza keeps burying its dead, with more than 100 bodies in this mass grave. the coming days may bring quiet, but israel and hamas have said afterwards the war will resume. translation: i want to be clear. the war is continuing. we will continue it until we achieve all our goals of returning all our abductees, eliminating hamas, and guaranteeing after hamas, gaza is not to be controlled by a party that supports terrorism. and for now the bombardment of besieged gaza goes on, as it has for nearly seven weeks. both sides are standing by to see if a deal will hold up and bring different scenes tomorrow. yolande knell, bbc news, jerusalem. yolande knelljoins us now. there was so much anticipation about something happening, may be some progress today. do we know what is behind the delay?— behind the delay? well, there was never an official _ behind the delay? well, there was never an official announcement . behind the delay? well, there was i never an official announcement about this morning, but it was widely reported quoting senior sources that they would be this deal coming into effect from ten o'clock local time. then last night we had an announcement from israel's national security adviser, who said the start of the release will take place according to the original agreement, but not before friday. we have had the white house coming out overnight saying there are logistical details that had to be organised. butjust this morning, the qataris, who are playing a key role, they have come out and said to expect an official announcement within a few hours. that does raise hopes about tomorrow. but it underlines how delicate all of this is. thank you very much. yolande knell. the covid inquiry is continuing today and the uk's chief scientific advisor, dame angela mclean, will give evidence later. it comes after england's former deputy chief medical officer, professor sirjonathan van—tam, revealed during wednesday's session that he and his family had been the victim of death threats. ellie price has this report. he became well known during the pandemic because of his memorable metaphors cutting through the science. it's a bit like being 3—0 up in a game and thinking, well, we can't possibly lose this now. but how many times have you seen the other side take it 4—3? i swear by almighty god. but the then deputy chief medical adviser, professorjonathan van—tam, now professor sirjvt, told the inquiry his workload had been horrendous, and so was the abuse. i did not expect my family to be threatened with having their throats cut. i did not expect the police to have to say, will you move out in the middle of the night, in the middle of the evening? will you move out for a few days while we look at this and potentially make some arrests? you know, we didn't move out because of the cat as it happened. we didn't want to leave the cat. it wasn't just the cat the inquiry�*s chair, baroness hallett, wanted to thank. ijust want you to be reminded — you probably don't need reminding, butjust in case you do — the vast majority of the population abhor such conduct, and we are enormously grateful to you and your colleagues. the inquiry heard that as early as mid—january 2020, more than six weeks before the first death from covid in the uk, professor van—tam said his instinct was telling him a pandemic was imminent. but he conceded his instinct was not enough to base government policy on. ijust know how notoriously difficult to control respiratory viruses are. i knew this by this stage appeared to be a novel coronavirus. i knew the diagnostics would not be necessarily sophisticated or upscaled anywhere in the world at this point. and just my general experience told me that i didn't like the look orfeel of this. in the day the inquiry had continued to hear evidence from sirjvt�*s old boss, professor chris whitty. he said he was not consulted on the then chancellor's eat 0ut to help 0ut scheme. neither patrick nor i can recall it, and i think we would have done. it would have been prudent, let's put it that way, for them to have thought about discussing it. rishi sunak told the commons yesterday the government had always consulted the scientist. it will no doubt come up when the pm faces questions at the inquiry in the next few weeks. to round off this big science week, the inquiry will hear later on from professor dame angela mclean. she's now the uk's chief scientific adviser. she was a deputy at the time. we'll also hearfrom kemi badenoch, who is the equalities minister. ellie price, bbc news, at the covid inquiry in london. two people have died attempting to cross the channel in a small boat, after it was spotted getting into difficulty on wednesday. just hours later, lifeboat crews were called to a separate incident, and rescued a number of other people in the channel. they were brought in to kent, with one person taken away on a stretcher. the veteran anti—islam dutch politician geert wilders is on course for a dramatic victory in a snap general election in the netherlands. partial results indicate his far—right freedom party has won a significant majority of seats. he will need to persuade other parties to join him in a coalition if he's to govern. a rescue team in india say they're nowjust metres away from a group of 41 miners who've been trapped in a collapsed tunnel for 11 days. authorities have been supplying the men with oxygen, food and water through a pipeline. the construction workers were building the tunnel when a part of it caved in. two people have died after a speeding car crashed and exploded on a us—canada border bridge, triggering a major security scare on the eve of thanksgiving. the incident near niagara falls has been ruled out as terrorism by the new york governor. the latest net migration figures will be released this morning. they'll show the difference between the number of people moving to the uk, and those leaving. it's thought they may have reached another new high in the 12 months tojune this year, as our home editor mark easton reports. the nhs in england employs more than a quarter of a million staff from overseas, migrants now making up around 19% of the workforce. it's a higher proportion still in social care, with special government schemes allowing employers to recruit from around the world to cope with sky high vacancy rates. but with suggestions today's net migration figure may be a new record, and the prime minister promising to reduce immigration overall, the government is considering a crackdown on foreign workers, who are the biggest driver of the increase. among the ideas being considered are limiting to one the number of relatives health and care workers are allowed to bring with them, raising the minimum salary required to be eligible for most work visas, and abolishing the system allowing employers to pay less than that where there are recognised shortages. the government's official advisers on migration have long argued that the shortage occupation list needs to go. but sectors like construction, hospitality and agriculture are worried that without the ability to bring in foreigners to fill vacancies in lower paid jobs, their businesses will suffer. but it is health care where the greatest impact may be felt in the short term if the government tightens the rules. the nhs workforce plan does envisage expanding training and recruitment in england, and net migration is expected to fall over time. but a squeeze on foreign recruitment would have immediate consequences. mark easton, bbc news. girls aloud, one of the uk's biggest—selling pop groups, have announced that they will reunite for a tour following an 11—year break. the shows will dedicated to their former band—mate sarah harding,?who died of breast cancer in 2021. the group has confirmed they'll

the biggest tax cuts in the uk since the 19805 — but the measures have been dwarfed by the impact of "past stealth tax raids". the guardian reports that the chancellor is seeking to blunt the impact of the tax burden with a cut in workers' national insurance contributions. on its front page, the mail hopes this is "just the start" of tax cuts. the paper says the total burden is still vast, but adds that the £11 billion tax break for business is the "largest boost in modern history". the mirror simply asks, "do they take us all for fools?" it says that millions of people will be worse off despite the chancellor's new measures. coming up... we'll get an update on a charity's restoration of a world war two plane, the mosquito, after it was given the royal seal of approval by princess anne. we saw it in early stages of its construction. it is a remarkable thing. from daleks to cybermen and, of course, regenerating time lords, doctor who has had viewers gripped for generations — and today it celebrates its 60th birthday. almost more than anything it is the music. to mark the occasion, three special episodes are being released — and some of the show�*s biggest characters will be making an appearance, as our entertainment correspondent lizo mzimba reports. david tennant and catherine tate back in the roles they left in 2010. i had to wipe her memory to save her life. no! if she remembers me, she will die. tennant thrilled to be the doctor once more. to get to return to something that meant so much 15 years ago, was such a huge part of my life, and has never really gone away. i mean, doctorwho, when you're attached to it, you're attached to it. but to get to revisit it, sort of full—time, even briefly, was something i never really imagined. i don't believe in destiny. as well as tennant and tate, the man who brought back the show in 2005, russell t davies, has also returned. together, they made doctor who into one of tv�*s biggest hits. after a very long time something's coming back. your previous era was incredibly successful. there must be an element of nervousness about the pressure of expectation this time around? i think — i know what you mean. it's like it's kind of like people said to me, can lightning strike twice? but actually, if you stand in the middle of a storm and hold up a great big piece of metal, lightning does strike you twice. all this show needs is to be good, to be _ all this show needs is to be good, to be fun, — all this show needs is to be good, to be fun, to be well cast, to be exciting, — to be fun, to be well cast,

their tv sets at 5:15 on the 23rd of november 1963, this is what would have greeted them, something that never quite seen the like of before. so this is? the very first script of doctor who. few can be more delighted to see it celebrating its 60th birthday than the man who directed the very first episode. i wasn't the first director to be chosen. the original director walked. at the time we made the show, nobody knew what we had. i don't think we in the production area department knew what we had. 0r indeed, the bbc. i believe these people are known to you. they're two of my schoolteachers. what they had was something that would make television history, the story of a mysterious science fiction hero. it instantly struck a chord with audiences, even if those involved in making it initially had their doubts. and what's wrong with it? i got the script and ijust didn't understand it at all! isaid to i said to the producer, what are we going _ i said to the producer, what are we going to _ i said to the producer, what are we going to do — i said to the producer, what are we going to do with this? she said, well, _ going to do with this? she said, well, we — going to do with

that is where we are right now we're — it work. that is where we are right now. we're still talking about something 60 years later it worked. one day i shall come back. and for the following six decades, there's been a long succession of doctors... fantastic. ..each with their own distinct personality, while still remaining... the doctor — we're on the list. ..battling monsters and villains... they are to be exterminated. ..and encountering all manner of creatures from across time and space. the secret of the show�*s longevity — who knows? or perhaps doctor who knows? they say there are only six or seven stories under the sun, and mankind's genius is to retell them and entertain us with them. and this is one of those stories. someone comes from another planet, down—to—earth, takes on the human form, tries to do good and help out. and it's kind of a lonely figure full of love for humanity. it's all connected to the storytelling of of 1000 years ago. people sat round a campfire and told tales of _ people sat round a campfire and told tales of strangers who rode into town _ tales of strangers who rode into town and — tales of strangers who rode into town and made things better. we have always— town and made things better. we have always loved that idea. after david tennant the show will be in the hands of ncuti gatwa. his first full episode goes out on christmas day. i've had a little glimpse of what ncuti can do, and it's very exciting. he is correct has such a great energy. he's energy. he's inventive, he's clever, he's quick, he's funny. it's really exciting that there is such a brilliant new doctor coming down the track. and i will be glued to every new episode. fans hope that gatwa will be the first of many more doctors to come over the next 60 years. lizo mzimba, bbc news. the first doctor who special is on bbc one on saturday at 6:30pm. —— doctor who. talking plenty more about it this morning. we have some special guests. i will leave it there. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. hello, good morning from bbc london. i'm victoria hollins. the chancellorjeremy hunt has pledged up to £7m over the next three years to charities tackling antisemitism in the uk. the funding comes after two jewish schools in north london were vandalised with red paint last month following hamas's attack on israel and the subsequent military retaliation. the met police says it has made 75 arrests linked to the israel—gaza conflict . the muslim council of britain said the government needed to show it is tackling hate crime equally across all communities. all this week we have been putting london's knife crime crisis in the spotlight. today we're looking at the work of london's major trauma centres who deal with hundreds of stabbings each year. at st mary's in paddington they admitted more than 400 knife crime victims last year. they are always on the lookout for danger. their response? they are quick to fire. they're quick to anger. they're quick to respond in a negative way. and it's come from a place of fear. it's not necessarily coming from a place of, "i want to attack you." it's not a choice. well, bbc london has been hearing from young people and others involved in trying to come up with possible solutions to the crisis — in a special debate. and you can find out more and take part in the conversation by going to our website — listening to radio london after 10 with eddie nestor or on our programme at 6.30. the royal parks charity is looking for 70 volunteer rangers to help care for bushey and richmond parks. responsibilities include holding talks about the wildlife, and making sure visitors keep a safe distance from the deer. volunteers will need to commit to at least four hours a week — and be chatty! let's take a look at the tubes now. there's a good service on the tubes this morning. london 0verground has no service between sydenham and west croydon now onto the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. there are one or two clearer spells around first thing this morning, but it is going to be a largely cloudy day. some brighter spells, though, developing as we head through the afternoon. so, rather grey skies. we've got a westerly breeze. should stay dry today and through the afternoon the cloud will start to thin and break. so some sunny spells developing by the end of the day. temperatures very mild as well, 13 celsius the maximum. but overnight, a cold front starts to sink south. the wind starts to veer from the northwest and strengthens a spell of rain for a short time. but that should start to fizzle out by the end of the night. the minimum temperature, six or seven celsius. now, this cold front clears through friday morning. behind it, of course, the colder air will start to penetrate. so it is going to feel a lot chillier through the course of friday. still some cloud around. first thing, you might get a spot of rain, but the cloud breaking up. some sunny spells for the afternoon. temperatures, though, in single figures between seven and nine celsius. and we're hanging on to the colder air through the first part of the weekend. we're likely to wake up to a widespread frost on saturday morning. that's it — there's plenty more on our website or on the bbc news app. we're back in half an hour. see you then. bye. hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. as we've been hearing, the chancellor has set out his tax and spending plans for the year ahead — and ben's here to take us through the key announcements. as always it takes awhile to compute how it affects you. it as always it takes awhile to compute how it affects you.— how it affects you. it does, but as i run through _ how it affects

crucially, _ i run through the key details, crucially, how it will affect people watching — crucially, how it will affect people watching at home. the choices and decisions the chancellor has made will affect millions of people and their finances. so let's take a look at what it actually means for you and your money. firstly, taxes. the main rate of national insurance will be cut by two percentage points — down from 12% to 10% from the 6th january. how much that s worth to you depends on how much you earn. but let s say you re on an average salary of £35,000 — this change will cut your tax bill by £450 a year. but the chancellor made no change to income tax thresholds. these are the amounts at which you start paying tax or move into a higher rate of income tax. they ve been frozen at the same levels since 2021, meaning they don t rise in line with inflation. meanwhile if your pay goes up, you may have to start paying tax when you didn t have to before — or it could push you up into a higher tax rate. and millions of people are affected by that. self—employed people get a tax cut. the chancellor is abolishing class 2 national insurance, currently paid by those earning more than £12,570. that will save the average self employed person £192 a year. class 4 contributions are also being reduced. some benefits like universal credit and disability allowances will go up next year by 6.7 percent. that's an average increase of about £470 to help with those cost of living pressures. there has been intense speculation over the rise in the state pension next april but mr hunt said he will stick to the so—called triple—lock. so the state pension will go up by 8.5%. that gives up to £900 more a year for pensioners. the chancellor called it an "autumn statement for growth". but the independent budget watchdog — the 0br — is forecasting the uk economy will grow much more slowly than expected in the next two years as inflation, or price rises, take longer to slow down. living standards are also not expected to return to pre—pandemic levels until 2027—28. nothing was said about cost—of—living payments, a lifeline for many people on low incomes. pensioners are already due another payment this winter — and there s one for low—earners on benefits in the spring. but beyond that, no mention of any further targeted financial help for people struggling to pay the bills. joining me now is pauljohnson, the director of think tank — the institute for fiscal studies. good to have you with us. was this a giveaway— good to have you with us. was this a giveaway or—

of l peoples incomes it was very much the latter, it was give back what has been taken away and in fact because of the higher inflation going forward what you mentioned there about the effects of freezing income tax allowances and thresholds, that's turned out to be a bigger tax increase than we thought even back increase than we thought even back in march, let alone when it was introduced a couple of years ago so the cuts to national insurance contributions are barely even as big as the increase in tax that we've had before. so it's very much a give back with one hand what we are taking away with the other. and back with one hand what we are taking away with the other. and then when we look — taking away with the other. and then when we look at _ taking away with the other. and then

years that this is what is going to happen and it has the target of it going to two thirds of the medium by 2024 and that's exactly what is achieved so they might be a small effect on price increases but the government has taken the view that getting the living wage to that level outweighs the impact and it really would be a small impact overall, as a fraction of the total economy and total wages, the increase is pretty small, so i wouldn't worry an enormous amount across the economy on that although there will be some sectors where it will have an effect and some in the public area, in social

overwrite the current levels of inflation give a less generous increase and year after year they have just given the appropriate level, so for people of working age, every april, their benefits drop in line with inflation of the previous september and overtime that keeps the value of the benefits the same. and for pensioners, the number is bigger, biggerthis and for pensioners, the number is bigger, bigger this year because of the so—called triple lock and earnings going up more quickly than prices over that period, so essentially what the chancellor decided to do was to say we've had this policy for 13 years and i'm going to follow it again having spent weeks and weeks speculating about not following it. and spent weeks and weeks speculating about not following it.— about not

going to lose from the freezing of thresholds and allowances. the one thing that is striking about the whole change is striking about the whole change is pensioners do not gain from that cut in national insurance contributions, so overall on the tax side, it is pensioners who are losing more than people of working age but on the benefit side, pensions are going up more quickly than working

plans for the year ahead.(naga)we'rejoined now by drew hendry, the snp�*s economy spokesperson. good morning. thank you forjoining us on breakfast. i'm looking at some of the languages used yesterday in parliament calling the conservatives the nasty party, saying the government is on the record is working to the principle of let people die. that's pretty vociferous criticism of the conservative party and the autumn statement. why so? for example only last month the british medicaljournal wrote that the cost of living will actually mean lives will be cut short and we know from the evidence given at the coronavirus inquiries, that's on record and that was the way they were looking at treating people, so when you look at the effect of the cost of living and the fact people are struggling with rent and mortgages, struggling to pay food bills and the trussell trust to shed food bank usage has gone through the roof and the same time the donations are being cut and most importantly energy costs are going up again and will go up again injanuary subsequently say what we see is a real pressure on people on top of that, there was the pretty horrendous inclusion of the attack on disabled people in the universal credit as well in the statement yesterday about cutting off their benefits altogether and that's a very, very frightening and damning thing to do and i think it merits pointing out how nasty some of these things are. pointing out how nasty some of these thins are. ~ :, things are. when you refer to mortgage _ things are. when you refer to mortgage payments, - things are. when you refer to mortgage payments, food, i things are. when you refer to l mortgage payments, food, the things are. when you refer to - mortgage payments, food, the rising cost of food and rising rent and heating costs, do you expect the government to continue to support such as the energy bill rebate that we saw? do you expect the help from government to continue, and if so, for how long? we government to continue, and if so, for how long?— for how long? we call for that yesterday _ for how long? we call for that yesterday and _ for how long? we call for that yesterday and what _ for how long? we call for that yesterday and what the - for how long? we call for that - yesterday and what the chancellor should have been doing is concentrating on the things that are really going to affect people now because this is a living crisis people are in in terms of the cost of living. they've seen mortgages, because of the action taken during the mini budget and the consequences of brexit being pushed up, mortgages and rents pushed up, food prices because of high import costs... 50 because of high import costs... so how much would you expect to be given in terms of support, how much should a household get from a government in terms of support and how long should it continue? brute government in terms of support and how long should it continue? we were callin: for a how long should it continue? we were calling for a couple _ how long should it continue? we were calling for a couple of— how long should it continue? we were calling for a couple of things, - calling for a couple of things, firstly an energy bill rebate to be introduced of £400 to help people through but we are also looking for the energy cap to be lowered and that would have had the added benefit of aiding reducing inflation because energy costs are one of the big drivers of inflation at the moment but there's lots of room there for the chancellor to do different things about reorganising the way energy

this morninu. :, ~ your time with us on breakfast this morninu. :, ,, ,:, earlier this year on breakfast we reported on the restoration of a second world war plane called the mosquito. made out of wood, it was one of the fastest aircrafts in the world, but hasn't been built in the uk for 70 years. watching our report that day was the princess royal, and she went along to see for herself how the project is getting on, as tim muffett reports. in 22 months, the fastest aircraft in the world has emerged from blueprint and scale model to frontline operations. it was nicknamed the wooden wonder. mosquitoes of raaf coastal command on the way to attack enemy shipping tucked away in a norwegian fjord. such a wonderful aircraft hero. pictures to carry in your mind's eye when next you hear of mosquitoes having been in action. george dunn is 101 years old. of the many aircraft he flew in the second world war, his favorite was the mosquito. full speed height. got everything. when george has come to rye in east sussex to support a very special project and to meet a very special person. it shows how much she's interested in this particular project. in february, we reported on the people's mosquito, a charity run by volunteers that hopes to build a mosquito in the uk for the first time in 70 years. that's good. we should have one of these flying and for me to be doing it is a real privilege. we have to source timber. we've got to learn to read drawings. it's a big learning curve. it seems our report received royal attention. she is very interested in our uk heritage of course, and also as well. she's very much interested in uk, in british engineering and also not only our heritage but also for the future. i believe that her interest in our charity. the people's mosquito was sparked back in the early part of this year when the original film went out on bbc breakfast. the charity has three pillars to fly, to educate, to remember, and we're doing it for george. we're also doing it for future generations, not only from a heritage point of view, but also a british engineering point of view as well. great pleasure to introduce to flight lieutenant george dunn. you can see here. weere they difficult to fly? were they different from the other things? no, the only slight snag with a mosquito, it would tend to swing and take off. this is your story. that's my story. yes. very good of you to to do this. it's very important. i hope i hope you enjoy being here. the volunteers are following original technical drawings found in an old filing cabinet at the airbus factory in broughton in north wales, where mosquitoes were once built. well, the original bbc breakfast programme that went out to air earlier this year, i think you may have seen sort of thing. so we're pleased to invite about the same film crew to cover today for you. what do you make of this project? what skill sets do you have to find to do this compared to what was already going on here, has been pretty impressive. as i was saying, a lot of boat building techniques here and the sort of old skills, they've been doing that for quite a long time. very sensible use of materials. to meet a veteran such as george as well, incredible. he's fortunately he's got a record of his experience, which is a real relief. he's taken the trouble to put it on paper because it makes such a difference. not everybody does. but so, yes, that, i'm afraid, that that memory is going to go on too soon. she's a lovely lady. she's hard working, and it was a pleasure and an honour to meet her. the volunteers

that gets thatjob, i think. throw your hat in the ring, george! tim muffett, bbc news. today marks 60 years since doctor who first appeared on our screens and later on we will be joined by villains and heroes from the shows many adventures. it sounds like someone has landed. shall we take a look. stepping out of the tardis to celebrate with us is nicola bryant, who played the time lord's companion peri brown alongside the fifth and sixth incarnations of the doctor. we will be talking to her later in the programme. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. hello, good morning from bbc london. i'm victoria hollins. the chancellorjeremy hunt has pledged up to £7 million over the next three years to charities tackling antisemitism in the uk. the funding comes after two jewish schools in north london were vandalised with red paint last month, following hamas's attack on israel and the subsequent military retaliation. the met police says it has made 75 arrests linked to the israel—gaza conflict. the muslim council of britain said the government needed to show it is tackling hate crime equally across all communities. all this week we have been putting london's knife crime crisis in the spotlight. today we're looking at the work of london's major trauma centres who deal with hundreds of stabbings each year. at st mary's in paddington they admitted more than 400 knife crime victims last year. they are always on the lookout for danger. their response? they are quick to fire. they're quick to anger. they're quick to respond in a negative way. and it's come from a place of fear. it's not necessarily coming from a place of, "i want to attack you." it's not a choice. well, bbc london has been hearing from young people and others involved in trying to come up with possible solutions to the crisis — in a special debate. and you can find out more and take part in the conversation by going to our website — listening to radio london after 10 with eddie nestor or on our programme at 6.30. the royal parks charity is looking for 70 volunteer rangers to help care for bushey and richmond parks. responsibilities include holding talks about the wildlife, and making sure visitors keep a safe distance from the deer. volunteers will need to commit to at least four hours a week — and be chatty! let's take a look at the tubes now. now onto the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. there are one or two clearer spells around first thing this morning, but it is going to be a largely cloudy day. some brighter spells, though, developing as we head through the afternoon. so, rather grey skies. we've got a westerly breeze. should stay dry today and through the afternoon the cloud will start to thin and break. so some sunny spells developing by the end of the day. temperatures very mild as well, 13 celsius the maximum. but overnight, a cold front starts to sink south. the wind starts to veer from the northwest and strengthens a spell of rain for a short time. but that should start to fizzle out by the end of the night. the minimum temperature, six or seven celsius. now, this cold front clears through friday morning. behind it, of course, the colder air will start to penetrate. so it is going to feel a lot chillier through the course of friday. still some cloud around. first thing, you might get a spot of rain, but the cloud breaking up. some sunny spells for the afternoon. temperatures, though, in single figures between seven and nine celsius. and we're hanging on to the colder air through the first part of the weekend. we're likely to wake up to a widespread frost on saturday morning. that's it — there's plenty more on our website or on the bbc news app. we're back in half an hour. see you then. bye. good morning, welcome to breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. our headlines today. cuts in national insurance are described by the chancellor as "just the start", but the overall tax burden in the uk is at a record high. this is just the start, but we promised, that when we were in a position to reduce the burden on families, who've been going through a very tough time, we would. a pause in fighting in gaza in exchange for the release of hostages, that was due to begin this morning, has been delayed by 24 hours. household energy bills are set to rise again in the new year, as the energy regulator announces its latest price cap for suppliers, i'll go through all the details and what it means for you. and are you ready for a big change in the weather? it is pretty mild out there this morning but in the next 24 hours much colder conditions are on the way. all the details on breakfast. the largest animal on earth — the blue whale — is making a comeback, after nearly being wiped out in parts of the indian ocean. later in the programme we'll get up close with these giants of the sea good morning. it's thursday, the 23rd november. energy bills are set to go back up again next year. in the last few minutes the energy regulator ofgem announced its latest price cap. ben can tell us more. it has just it hasjust come it has just come through, yeah? yes,. energy bills on average will go up. let me explain the details. after a peak injanuary this year, there had been a little relief for households struggling to afford gas and electricity. a steep fall in wholesale energy prices meant builds slowly followed. that drop appears to be at an end. we are talking about the energy price cap that limits the amount suppliers can charge households for each unit of gas and electricity they use. the unit price, not the total bill. the more energy you use, the more you pgy- more energy you use, the more you pay. ofgem has done its three monthly update. from january 2024, the cap will be £1928 a year for the average bill for a so—called typical household. £1928. that is up from the current level ofjust over £1800 a year. a typical bill will increase by £94 a year. and remember, households will no longer have the governmentsupport worth £400, which they got last winter. so for millions of households the amount they pay in energy bills this winter will go it up. ofgem confirmed last week it has launched a public consultation on reforming standing charges, the daily fixed fees for gas and electricity they have to pay —— we have to pay regardless of how much or how little energy you use. people have until mid january to submit their views on that. there are no details on when findings will be acted upon. even the wholesale energy prices are down from where they were, it still looks like a very difficult, a very expensive time, for many who are trying to stay warm in their homes this winter. ben, thank you. how does this tie in with the wider economy? the chancellor has described the tax cuts set out in his autumn statement as "just the start", after he announced a bigger than expected reduction in national insurance. however, the overall tax burden on the public remains at a record high, and the office of budget responsibility says it represents the largest fall in living standards since the 19505. our business correspondent emma simp5on reports. these reforms will save around two million self—employed people an average of £350 a yearfrom april. better than nothing. tuning into the autumn statement at walthamstow market. a good place to test the mood. pen5ioner5 seemed happy. him increasing pension, that's good for me. and young workers like the rise in the minimum wage too. 10% more i'm going to win — i'm going to earn. yeah. — who wouldn't like it? but other workers said the cut to national insurance isn't enough. not with the way things are at the moment. the cost of living is too expensive. £450, divide that by 12, divide it by the family that you've got. is it enough? i don't think so. here are the key details. first, that national insurance cut. it's going from 12% to ten for all employees from january. the self—employed will see a tax cut too. the state pension is going up by 8.5% a week from april, honouring the so—called triple lock. universal credit and other working age benefits will increase by nearly 7%, while a tax break for business to encourage investment has been made permanent. that's deducting what they spend on new equipment from their profits. this is just a start. but we promised that when we're in a position to reduce the burden on families, who've been going through a very tough time, we would. and the taxes we've cho5e, perhap5 they're not the headline taxes, but they will help to grow the economy and grow people's salaries. and that's the way that we'll get living standards up for families up and down the country. but overall, the tax burden is still rising because of the freeze in income tax thresholds. labour says we're going to be worse off. i think we already knew going into this statement that working people won't be better off and aren't better off after 13 years. but what we now know is nothing the government is planning to do will change that. now we have made a principle focus of our policy platform about stronger and better economic growth. and frankly, that is the only way that we will see reasonable burdens in terms of taxation, and reasonable funding of public services in future. now, what was required in this budget — i mean, the chancellor said it would be a budget for growth. growth has been downgraded next year, the year after that and the year after that. the government believes it's tipped things in the right direction. but the uk's official economic watchdog says growth is likely to be weaker. and we're still facing the largest fall in real living standards for 70 years. emma simpson, bbc news. we'rejoined now by our chief political correspondent henry zeffman, who is in downing street. morning to you. a lot of people, people at home, and organisations who have done the number crunching, what about how this has landed politically? i what about how this has landed oliticall ? ~ , :, what about how this has landed politically?— politically? i think it is one of those on _ politically? i think it is one of those on usual— politically? i think it is one of those on usual set _ politically? i think it is one of those on usual set piece - politically? i think it is one of. those on usual set piece political events. —— unusual. both sides of the argument have things from yesterday they can take and used to fuel their arguments for the months and years to come. you look at the government and the conservative party, and jeremy hunt said, we have turned a corner as a country. inflation, the rate of inflation, is coming down. and as a result he can now go ahead with tax cuts, because previously they fear to tax cuts with fuel inflation. on the other side you have the labour party saying, hang on a second, you are cutting road taxes that you yourself have increased, the tax burden are still going up. —— cutting taxes. if you look at the forecast that accompanied the autumn statement yesterday, they suggest that inflation was going to be more prolonged than they previously thought it would be. politically i think you can't underestimate how much it pained so many conservative mp5 that taxes were growing up. and now at least they are able to say to the public that taxes are beginning to come down. i am sure there will be a lot more of that in the budget in the spring in a few months. there is also the question of when conservative mp5 will have to make that argument to the voters about taxes coming down, because one slightly unusual thing thatjeremy slightly unusual thing that jeremy hunt slightly unusual thing thatjeremy hunt did yesterday was he said that the coach to mass and insurance, the 2p cut, it won't come in at the start of the tax year, it will come in very early next year. —— the cuts to national insurance. every minister, every mp i spoke to in westminster yesterday, took only one conclusion from that, which is that the government is at least giving itself the option of an early election. so the arguments we saw playing out in westminster yesterday could be playing out in a general election campaign as soon as may. henry, thank you. we'll have full analysis of the chancellor's autumn statement throughout the programme — and you can also find more on the bbc news website. we will be speaking live to the chancellor at about half past seven. naga is going to pick up on events in the middle east. we were expecting major changes today but it is not working out quite as was thought. no. the release of 50 israeli hostages from gaza by hamas has been put back until tomorrow at the earliest. a pause in the fighting, which was due to come into effect this morning, will also be delayed. no official reason was given for the delay, though israel said talks about the deal were progressing. hamas is designated as a terrorist organisation by the uk. our middle east correspondent yolande knell reports. the continuing anguish. this was the day some israeli hostage families had hoped to see their loved ones again. but late last night there was news of a 24—hour delay, also affecting the release of palestinian prisoners. israeli reports say hamas and qatar, which is mediating, haven't yet signed the truce deal. children are supposed to be among the first israelis freed. hadas kalderon desperately wants her son and daughter back. they were snatched with her ex—husband on the 7th of october. i just want to hug my children, to kiss them, to protect them, to promise them that it will never happen again. that's all i want. i don't care about nothing. because my life has been broken apart. my life wants to be the same again. and their life wants to be the same. camping on the street, and crammed into public shelters like this un school, in gaza the wait also continues for a promised four—day truce. without enough food to go around, a pause is meant to clear a path for hundreds of lorries carrying goods, fuel and medical supplies. even then aid agencies have been warning much more needs to be done. and palestinians living amid the destruction are wary about any pause in fighting. "what use is this truce? people are being displaced either way. what benefit do we get?" asks omo ramy. "we want a complete ceasefire. we want a truce to stop the bloodshed. our children are lost." gaza keeps burying its dead, with more than 100 bodies in this mass grave. the coming days may bring quiet, but israel and hamas have said afterwards the war will resume. translation: i want to be clear. the war is continuing. we will continue it until we achieve all our goals of returning all our abductees, eliminating hamas, and guaranteeing after hamas, gaza is not to be controlled by a party that supports terrorism. and for now the bombardment of besieged gaza goes on, as it has for nearly seven weeks. both sides are standing by to see if a deal will hold up and bring different scenes tomorrow. yolande knell, bbc news, jerusalem. yolande knelljoins us now. good morning. what do you know? what can you tell us about this delay? well, it was never officially announced, that is what we are being told, that the deal would start about now, as had been expected. that was based on what was said by senior sources to journalists on all the different sites. last night we have the israeli national security adviser and suing the police would still take place as had been agreed, but not before friday. and then we had of the white house saying there were some logistical issues to sort out. and we have had qatar this morning saying that we should now expect an official announcement on when the start time would be in the coming hours. against all of this backdrop we now have lord cameron arriving in the region on his first trip since he has returned to government. we are told he is going to be meeting israeli officials. he is well—known as a strong of israel. but we are told by his people he will also be raising here real concerns that britain has about the need to protect civilians in gaza and the need to get more aid in their really urgently.— very much. the covid inquiry is continuing today after england's former deputy chief medical officer, professor sirjonathan van—tam, revealed during wednesday's session that he and his family had been the victim of death threats. our reporter ellie price has been following the inquiry. he became well known during the pandemic because of his memorable metaphors cutting through the science. it's a bit like being 3—0 up in a game and thinking, well, we can't possibly lose this now. but how many times have you seen the other side take it 4—3? i swear by almighty god. but the then deputy chief medical adviser, professorjonathan van—tam, now professor sirjvt, told the inquiry his workload had been horrendous, and so was the abuse. i did not expect my family to be threatened with having their throats cut. i did not expect the police to have to say, will you move out in the middle of the night, in the middle of the evening? will you move out for a few days while we look at this and potentially make some arrests? you know, we didn't move out because of the cat as it happened. we didn't want to leave the cat. it wasn't just the cat the inquiry�*s chair, baroness hallett, wanted to thank. ijust want you to be reminded — you probably don't need reminding, butjust in case you do — the vast majority of the population abhor such conduct, and we are enormously grateful to you and your colleagues. the inquiry heard that as early as mid—january 2020, more than six weeks before the first death from covid in the uk, professor van—tam said his instinct was telling him a pandemic was imminent. but he conceded his instinct was not enough to base government policy on. ijust know how notoriously difficult to control respiratory viruses are. i knew this by this stage appeared to be a novel coronavirus. i knew the diagnostics would not be necessarily sophisticated or upscaled anywhere in the world at this point. and just my general experience told me that i didn't like the look orfeel of this. in the day the inquiry had continued to hear evidence from sirjvt�*s old boss, professor chris whitty. he said he was not consulted on the then chancellor's eat out to help out scheme. neither patrick nor i can recall it, and i think we would have done. it would have been prudent, let's put it that way, for them to have thought about discussing it. rishi sunak told the commons yesterday the government had always consulted the scientists. it will no doubt come up when the pm faces questions at the inquiry in the next few weeks. to round off this big science week, the inquiry will hear later on from professor dame angela mclean. she's now the uk's chief scientific adviser. she was a deputy at the time. we'll also hearfrom kemi badenoch, who is the equalities minister. ellie price, bbc news, at the covid inquiry in london. two people have died attempting to cross the channel in a small boat, after it was spotted getting into difficulty yesterday. just hours later, lifeboat crews were called to a separate incident, and rescued a number of other people in the channel. they were brought to shore at dungeness in kent. a rescue team in india say they're nowjust metres away from a group of 41 miners, who've been trapped in a collapsed tunnel for 11 days. authorities have been supplying the men with oxygen, food and water through a pipeline. the construction workers were building the tunnel when a part of it caved in. us actorjamie foxx is being sued by a woman who alleges he sexually assaulted her at a restaurant in new york city eight years ago. according to the lawsuit, mr foxx groped the woman after she asked to have her photo taken with him. mr foxx's representatives have not commented.

main story now, and jeremy hunt's autumn statement. we're joined by labour's shadow chancellor rachel reeves. good morning. what do you make of what you heard from the chancellor? well, the truth is, despite the announced tax cuts yesterday, working people are going to be paying more taxes at the end of this parliament than they were at the last parliament. people can see that in their bank balances. and going into the autumn statement yesterday there had been an equivalent of a 10p increase in national insurance through all of the fiscal drag, people being dragged into paying taxes, paying higher rates of tax, and the chancellor gave back 2p yesterday. so people are still worse off because of tax increases, high inflation and higher payments as well. d0 inflation and higher

labourautumn budget, or a labour autumn statement. budget, ora labourautumn statement. we would have got rid of the non—dom tax status and replaced it with a scheme for genuine people living in britain for short periods of time, and we would have put that £2 billion into creating more appointments in our nhs and a free breakfast clubs at all primary schools. we would be reforming the planning system because house—building is at a 70 year low and the number of people owning their own homes is falling rather than increasing. and we would be investing alongside business to unlock private investment in the jobs and the industries of the future, because if you do those things we can alleviate some of those short—term pressures that we face in our nhs, where the number of people on waiting lists has gone up to 7.8 million, as well as a serious plan for growing our economy because you will have seen in the numbers yesterday that growth in our economy has been downgraded next year, the year after it, and the year after that. and with outgrowth you will continue to see a fall in living standards and a deterioration of our public services. that is why getting the economy growing so we can improve wages and get money into our front line public services is so important, and would have been big priorities for me if it had been my autumn statement. by, priorities for me

i would inherit if i had the privilege to become chancellor of the exchequer next year. public finances are in a mess, the economy has barely grown, living standards are falling, and our nhs and other public services are on their knees after 13 years of conservative government. you would be hard pressed to anything that works better in britain today than when the conservatives came into office 13 years ago. that is why i have been clear that there will be short—term injections of cash into our front line public services. short—term injections of cash into ourfront line public services. it's why we would get rid of the non—dom tax status. it would —— it's why we would change bonuses and private equity firms to get money into our front line public services. but it is also why i put so much emphasis on growing the economy, because the conservatives have become a high tax party, because they have become a party, because they have become a party of low growth and they haven't been able to grow the economy. this is notjust something from the last couple of years. this is a 13 year problem. couple of years. this is a 13 year roblem. ., a couple of years. this is a 13 year roblem. ., ,~'

appointments in the nhs which we desperately need. if we can create those 2 million additional appointments every year in our nhs, we could get people through the system quicker, make people better, and it would free up a lot of people whose lives are on hold, to get back to work. so, these are concrete, fully costed and fully funded proposals to get money into our front line public services right now, and i am not asking ordinary working people to pay a penny more in tax but by closing loopholes that frankly should have been closed a long time ago. just frankly should have been closed a

energy bills. it disappears in higher mortgage payments for anybody coming off a fixed rate mortgage deal next year. and it disappears because more people are being dragged into paying taxes. people can see in their bank balances that after 13 years of conservative government, they are worse off, not better off. there is, i'm afraid, nothing the chancellor did yesterday that changes that reality

whaling ships. however, now they seem to be making a comeback, as underwater audio recordings show they're spending months at a time near the seychelles, as our science correspondent victoria gill reports. the biggest animals on earth. blue whales have returned to inhabit tropical waters, where just a few decades ago they were wiped out. on two recent expeditions, researchers and documentary film—makers came to the seychelles in search of the giant marine mammals. this is really cool. i've never seen so many different species, so many of so many different species. we've got hundreds of animals here. it's... ..it�*s pretty remarkable. this is now an ecological paradise teeming with life. but back in the 19605, soviet whaling vessels captured and killed hundreds of blue whales in these waters. all right, here you go. 0k. to find out if the animals had returned, scientists listened. underwater microphones are able to pick up the very low frequency sounds that blue whales use to communicate over distances of hundreds of miles through the ocean. but the researchers weren't actually able to hear the blue whales calling directly. it took a year of recording from the sea bed, and painstaking analysis of all those months of sound, to identify the telltale, very low frequency, deep calls, the signature of these marine giants. we do know that blue whales worldwide were decimated by commercial whaling. we listened for over a year and we heard them in many months of the year. that suggests that the seychelles is really important for blue whales, and so understanding when and where blue whales may have recovered and are coming back, it's a really good — it's a conservation win. these whales are vital to the health of our oceans. they lock up large amounts of planet—warming carbon in their huge bodies. they can consume half a million calories in one mouthful, and even their pooh provides important nutrients for the marine life. long after the end of commercial whaling here, the seychelles has committed to officially protecting almost a third of its national waters for wildlife. turns out if you stop killing animals on mass scales, and you give them a chance to rebound, they can recover. the scientists hope to return to find out more about how the world's largest whales are using this area, and if they're breeding here. they'll be looking and listening for more clues about how to protect these waters, now that the ocean's largest inhabitants have returned. victoria gill, bbc news. still to come on breakfast... stay where you are! do not move! humanoids

next three years to charities tackling antisemitism in the uk. the funding comes after two jewish schools in north london were vandalised with red paint last month following hamas's attack on israel and the subsequent military retaliation. the met police says it has made 75 arrests linked to the israel—gaza conflict. the muslim council of britain said the government needed to show it is tackling hate crime equally across all communities. all this week we have been putting london's knife crime crisis in the spotlight. today, we're looking at the work of london's major trauma centres who deal with hundreds of stabbings each year. at st mary's in paddington they admitted more than 400 knife crime victims last year. they are always on the lookout for danger. their response? they are quick to fire. they're quick to anger. they're quick to respond in a negative way. and it's come from a place of fear. it's not necessarily coming from a place of, "i want to attack you." it's not a choice. well, bbc london has been hearing from young people and others involved in trying to come up with possible solutions to the crisis in a special debate. and you can find out more and take part in the conversation by going to our website — listening to radio london after 10 with eddie nestor or on our programme at 6.30. a coroner has said the circumstances around the death of london gangster—turned—author dave courtney reached the threshold to open an inquest. mr courtney was found dead by a friend in his south london home last month. courtney claimed to be an associate of the kray twins and swapped a life of crime for writing books. let's take a look at the tubes now. there's a good service on the tubes this morning. just minor delays on the circle and jubilee lines. london 0verground has no service between sydenham and west croydon. now onto the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. there are one or two clearer spells around first thing this morning, but it is going to be a largely cloudy day. some brighter spells, though, developing as we head through the afternoon. so, rather grey skies. we've got a westerly breeze. should stay dry today and through the afternoon the cloud will start to thin and break. so some sunny spells developing by the end of the day. temperatures very mild as well, 13 celsius the maximum. but overnight, a cold front starts to sink south. the wind starts to veer from the northwest and strengthens a spell of rain for a short time. but that should start to fizzle out by the end of the night. the minimum temperature, six or seven celsius. now, this cold front clears through friday morning. behind it, of course, the colder air will start to penetrate. so it is going to feel a lot chillier through the course of friday. still some cloud around. first thing, you might get a spot of rain, but the cloud breaking up. some sunny spells for the afternoon. temperatures, though, in single figures between seven and nine celsius. and we're hanging on to the colder air through the first part of the weekend. we're likely to wake up to a widespread frost on saturday morning. that's it. there's plenty more on our website or on the bbc news app. see you then. bye. hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. let's return to our main story — and the chancellor has announced a bigger than expected cut to national insurance in his autumn statement — but analysts say the tax burden is still set to be the highest in 70 years. jeremy huntjoins us now. good morning to you, thank you for joining us on bbc breakfast. let me start with a quote from the institute for fiscal studies. this is the biggest tax—raising parliament in modern times. that appears to be a significant legacy of this autumn statement. your reaction? i of this autumn statement. your reaction? ~ ., , :, reaction? i think it was right to have the furlough _ reaction? i think it was right to have the furlough scheme i reaction? i think it was right to l have the furlough scheme which reaction? i think it was right to - have the furlough scheme which saved 9 millionjobs during the pandemic and i think it was right to help families in a cost of living crisis when we had the biggest energy shocks since the 19705 and we've been very honest with people that you have to pay for that which is why i took difficult decisions a year ago to raise taxes but i don't want that to be the long term for the uk, and what we are able to do today, we cannot reduce those all in one go but we can make a start and this is a national insurance cut from 12% to 10%, £450 cut for someone on the average salary and i think it will make a difference, but i chose that principally because it will mean we will have 100,000 more people working in the economy according to the obr because if you reduce the tax on work, more people go into work and that will fill about one in ten vacancies we see in the economy today and helps businesses grow and that is the long run way that we will fund public services like the nhs and hopefully bring taxes down further. if this services like the nhs and hopefully bring taxes down further.— bring taxes down further. if this is 'ust the bring taxes down further. if this is just the start _ bring taxes down further. if this is just the start as _ bring taxes down further. if this

just the start as you said to chris. just the start as you said to chris mason, is the assumption at the end of the parliament real incomes will be down, the first time it's ever happened under a full parliament, will that be negated and will you avoid that? i will that be negated and will you avoid that?— avoid that? i don't know is the answer to _ avoid that? i don't know is the answer to that. _ avoid that? i don't know is the answer to that. when - avoid that? i don't know is the answer to that. when you i avoid that? i don't know is the | answer to that. when you have avoid that? i don't know is the i answer to that. when you have a avoid that? i don't know is the - answer to that. when you have a once in a century pandemic and a huge cost of living shock caused by events in ukraine, it has an impact but what i want to do is make sure we can get back on the path to growing, prosperity, to be able to fund public services and part of that and this is the big difference in the conservative approach is we think a competitive economy needs lower taxes and i'm at the air pass factory in north wales where they make the wings for the airbus planes around the world and it's an amazing place and one of the top executives from airbus said this morning that what i did yesterday on capital allowances which is not a tax most people have heard of will make it easier for her to attract investment into the uk, so what conservatives believe is the way that we raise living standards for ordinary families is to make businesses more competitive and that is a long—term decision under rishi sunak�*s leadership that we took yesterday. he's been accused of playing smoke and mirrors and deception. you cut national insurance but you've also kept tax thresholds frozen so more people will actually be ending up paying tax and actually won't benefit, net, from the cut in national insurance and the total tax burden will go to a post—war high organised in 70 years, so how are you going to sell that to the electorate in an election year? it’s electorate in an election year? it's 'ust not electorate in an election year? it's just rrot the _ electorate in an election year? it�*s just not the case. even if you take account of the frozen thresholds after the national insurance cut there will be more money in peoples pockets next year. over time, if we are going to reduce taxes, which i want to do because it will make the economy more competitive and it puts more money into peoples pockets, they are finding life tough at the moment. the only way to do it is to grow the economy and encourage companies like airbus to invest more in the uk. so we took a decisions. can ijust say, the crowd pleasing tax cuts would be good, and it would have been an income tax cut or inheritance tax. infill! have been an income tax cut or inheritance tax.— have been an income tax cut or inheritance tax. will they come next ear? we inheritance tax. will they come next year? we

grow the economy, and those are long—term decisions and i think that is what people expect from a conservative government and thatis from a conservative government and that is how we will make all families more prosperous. you said the next year _ families more prosperous. you said the next year people _ families more prosperous. you said the next year people have - families more prosperous. you said the next year people have more i families more prosperous. you said i the next year people have more money in their pockets but by 2028 or 2029, those people who have seen the tax thresholds frozen, 4 million additional workers will pay income tax, and 3 million more will move into the higher rate. 400,000 more will pay the additional rate, so for that to change, you will have to introduce tax cuts in the budget next year. if introduce tax cuts in the budget next ear. :, introduce tax cuts in the budget next year-— introduce tax cuts in the budget next ear. ., :, :, ., ,, next

help people in i higher tax band? i think it was the right thing to help people in the i right thing to help people in the pandemic and help people in the energy crisis, so i accept that taxes have gone up but i want to start bringing them down and that's why we can in national insurance that will mean about 100,000 more people are working on the economy because if you cut taxes on work, more people go into work and that will fill in around one in ten vacancies for businesses, so if we want to address the issue you are talking about bring down the taxpayer but i do, we have to grow the economy seen the price cap is rising of £94,000 per year. the ical rising of £94,000 per year. the typical gas _ rising of £94,000 per year. the typical gas bill _ rising of £94,000 per year. the

by double next year's predicted inflation rate and increasing the state pension by nearly three times the inflation rate next year and there is the national insurance tax cut from 12% down to 10% which for a police officer or a teacher on an average salary for them, about £630 extra, so i hope all of those measures will help people. at the same time as doing the right thing to grow the economy

have apologised to their own fans, for effectively knocking themselves out of the fa cup and re—writing the fairytale story, of non league horsham. so barnsley of league one, had beaten the part timers from the 7th tier, in their fa cup replay, but now barnsley have been thrown out of the competition for fielding an, in—eligible player in that replay. this remember was after horsham had made the headlines, earning a famous 3 all draw at the home of the south yorkshire professional club. such a big team and several leagues above us but we proved and went to barnsley and in the show nerves and got a draw but from my point of view we are the underdogs but we are not going to sutton to make up the numbers. we have to view this as a winnable game. with the prize of being in the third round injanuary. now wayne rooney may be struggling so far, in his time managing birmingham city, but he's a bit of a hero in derby. to such an extent, the ex—england footballer had been nominated, for the freedom of derby, after helping the rams through administration, and almost avoiding relegation, injune last year, despite a 21 point deduction. but city councillors have voted unanimously to

themselves feeling homesick. a big part of that can be missing family pets, but some students at the university of exeter have come up with a way to tackle that — by becoming dog walkers. john ayres reports. it's great. this is bertie. and once a week, he's walked by students kate and ella. both of them come from a long way away and both miss their dogs. it really does help my mental well—being, especially with my course. it's super demanding at the moment as a master's student. so being able to spend an hour with him once a week really does remind me of home and allows me to get more like a mental breakjust from school for a little bit. programme because we actually get to see dogs now. there aren't that many around, and i miss my dog a lot. so he brings me a lot ofjoy. happiness, yes. for bertie's owner, this is a chance for his dog to get some proper exercise while he's at work. i think it's one of those rare win—win situations. it's wonderful for bertie, my dog, because he gets to walk and he could walk all day. it's fantastic for me because i get to work and not have him under my desk. and as you're saying, it's fantastic for students as well. so it's a wonderful programme which is beneficial to everyone. let's go, go. it helps students with homesickness. it provides a service for local community and enables the students to engage with it. there's lots of evidence that dog walking is good for your mental health. i know that loneliness and isolation is often a problem for students, and building student wellbeing is really important. and one of the key things we do to do that is to build up connections and community initiatives. and this sounds like a really good example of that. currently the university has lots of volunteers, but only five dogs. they're hoping that people who need a bit of support in walking their animals will come forward. really, we are geared towards people who struggle to walk themselves, but i personally view this as a service to both owner and dog. so if that dog is going to get a higher quality of walk with us or a walk with us, then absolutely happy to take them on. students walk dogs in pairs on a weekly basis, but with so many volunteers waiting, they're hoping they can find some more dogs. john ayers, bbc news. things have taken a bit of a turn in the studio, and the daleks, i don't like it when it points right now, attys

iam not i am not sure you would invite this to the birthday party.— to the birthday party. dalek, look the other way. _ to the birthday party. dalek, look the other way. it _ to the birthday party. dalek, look the other way. it actually - to the birthday party. dalek, look the other way. it actually did i to the birthday party. dalek, look| the other way. it actually did what i said. that's a first. to mark the occasion, hree special episodes three special episodes are being released — and some of the show�*s biggest characters will be making an appearance, as our entertainment correspondent lizo mzimba reports. david tennant and catherine tate back in the roles they left in 2010. i had to wipe her memory to save her life. no! if she remembers me, she will die. tennant thrilled to be the doctor once more. to get to return to something that meant so much 15 years ago, was such a huge part of my life, and has never really gone away. i mean, doctorwho, when you're attached to it, you're attached to it. but to get to revisit it, sort of full—time, even briefly, was something i never really imagined. i don't believe in destiny. as well as tennant and tate, the man who brought back the show in 2005, russell t davies, has also returned. together, they made doctor who into one of tv�*s biggest hits. after a very long time, something's coming back. your previous era was incredibly successful. there must be an element of nervousness about the pressure of expectation this time around? i think — i know what you mean. it's like it's kind of like people said to me, can lightning strike twice? but actually, if you stand in the middle of a storm and hold up a great big piece of metal, lightning does strike you twice. all this show needs is to be good, to be fun, to be well cast, to be exciting, to be brilliant. that's really missing from the schedules at the moment. i dare not say i am confident but i am proud of what we made and i hope it works. the three new special episodes are celebrating the show�*s diamond anniversary. today, it's 60 years since the very first episode. when viewers turned on their tv sets at 5:15 on the 23rd of november 1963, this is what would have greeted them, something that never quite seen the like of before. so this is? the very first script of doctor who. few can be more delighted to see it celebrating its 60th birthday than the man who directed the very first episode. i wasn't the first director to be chosen. the original director walked. at the time we made the show, nobody knew what we had. i don't think we in the production area department knew what we had. 0r indeed, the bbc. i believe these people are known to you. they're two of my schoolteachers. what they had was something that would make television history, the story of a mysterious science fiction hero. it instantly struck a chord with audiences, even if those involved in making it initially had their doubts. and what's wrong with it? i got the script and ijust didn't understand it at all! i said to the producer, what are we going to do with this? she said, well, we are going to have to make it work. that is where we are right now. we're still talking about something 60 years later it worked. one day i shall come back. and for the following six decades, there's been a long succession of doctors... fantastic. ..each with their own distinct personality, while still remaining... the doctor — we're on the list. ..battling monsters and villains... they are to be exterminated. ..and encountering all manner of creatures from across time and space. the secret of the show�*s longevity — who knows? or perhaps doctor who knows? they say there are only six or seven stories under the sun, and mankind's genius is to retell them and entertain us with them. and this is one of those stories. someone comes from another planet, down—to—earth, takes on the human form, tries to do good and help out. and it's kind of a lonely figure full of love for humanity. it's all connected to the storytelling of of 1000 years ago. people sat round a campfire and told tales of strangers who rode into town and made things better. we have always loved that idea. after david tennant the show will be in the hands of ncuti gatwa. his first full episode goes out on christmas day. i've had a little glimpse of what ncuti can do, and it's very exciting. he has such a great energy. he's inventive, he's clever, he's quick, he's funny. it's really exciting that there is such a brilliant new doctor coming down the track. and i will be glued to every new episode. fans hope that gatwa will be the first of many more doctors to come over the next 60 years. lizo mzimba, bbc news. we have got rid of our friend? we have got rid of ourfriend? i think he went that way. no steps either, so he or she, it is ok. ltrufha either, so he or she, it is ok. who cared? the first doctor who special episode is on bbc one on saturday at 6.30pm. coming up. the largest animal on earth, the blue whale, is returning to parts of the indian ocean where it was, previously, virtually wiped out. we'll hear from the conservationists who are keeping tabs on the giant creatures. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. hello, good morning from bbc london. i'm victoria hollins. the chancellorjeremy hunt has pledged up to £7 million over the next three years to charities tackling anti—semitism in the uk. the funding comes after two jewish schools in north london were vandalised with red paint last month following hamas' attack on israel and the subsequent military retaliation. the muslim council of britain said the government needed to show it is tackling hate crime equally across all communities. detectives are trying to trace a housekeeper at a hotel in knightsbridge where a suitcase containing around £350,000 worth of jewellery was stolen. the suspect, a 28—year—old woman, is thought to have flown to romania a week after the theft on the 8th of october. the royal parks charity is looking for 70 volunteer rangers to help care for bushy and richmond parks. responsibilities include holding talks about the wildlife, and making sure visitors keep a safe distance from the deer. volunteers will need to commit to at least four hours a week — and be chatty! let's take a look at the tubes now. there's a good service on the tubes this morning. just minor delays on the circle and jubilee lines, and london 0verground has no service between sydenham and west croydon. now onto the weather. this morning will start with overcast skies and dry conditions. brighter later with a top temperature of 13 celsius. that's it. there's more on the website or on the bbc news app. we're back in half an hour. see you then. bye. good morning, welcome to breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. our headlines today. energy bills are set to rise again next year after the regulator announced its latest price cap. a typical household will see their bill rise to more than £1900 a year. we will speak to the head of the energy regulator and ask what happens to those who cannot afford higher bills. cuts in national insurance are described by the chancellor as "just the start", but the overall tax burden in the uk is at a record high. a pause in fighting in gaza in exchange for the release of hostages, that was due to begin this morning, has been delayed by 24 hours. in whether there are some big changes ahead. we may be going from grey to something sunnier. it would be colder too. i will have the details. doctor who is 60 today. we mark six decades of the world's most famous time traveller, with some blasts from the past. good morning. it's thursday, the 23rd november. household energy prices will rise injanuary, putting more financial pressure on billpayers at the coldest time of year. the energy regulator ofgem said the typical annual household bill will go up from £1,834, to £1,928 — a rise of 5%. ben's here to tell us more. the price cap was expected, a rise was expected. it is just whether or not this can be accepted?- not this can be accepted? yeah. it is a real worry _ not this can be accepted? yeah. it is a real worry for _ not this can be accepted? yeah. it is a real worry for many _ not this can be accepted? yeah. it is a real worry for many people i is a real worry for many people still struggling with the cost of living and really worried about their energy bills as we head into their energy bills as we head into the depths of winter. this is the latest update... we found out this morning it will rise injanuary to march. foran morning it will rise injanuary to march. for an average household and were excited £1928 a year, up from the current level of £1800 a year. that is an —— if you are on a dual tariff paying and direct debit. that means the average bill would be £1928 a year. those points about dual fuel and £1928 a year. those points about dualfuel and direct £1928 a year. those points about dual fuel and direct debit are really important. the cab sets the maximum amount employers can charge per unit of gas and electricity. it doesn't cap the total bill. if you use more energy you will pay more. this represents an increase of £94 a yearfor this represents an increase of £94 a year for a typical household. and because households will no longer have the government support worth £400, which they got last winter, the amount that you pay in energy bills is likely to be more. ofgem confirmed last week that separately it has launched a public consultation on reforming standing charges, those daily fixed fees for gas and electricity that you have to pay regardless of how little energy you use, if any at all. you have until mid january to submit your views. there is no detail on when any findings will be acted upon. it could still be a difficult and expensive time for many trying to heat their homes this winter. always get people asking what the unit cost is, so they can calculate their own bills. the headline figures for average usage. i will be back at about half past eight and give you those individual unit to cap measures, so people can do their own calculations and figure out how it affects them. calculations and figure out how it affects them-— calculations and figure out how it affects them.

burden on the public remains at record. the office rent —— the remains at record. the office rent -- the obr remains at record. the office rent —— the obr says it represents the largest fall in living standards since the 19505. we can speak to henry zeffman. henry, you have —— we have been speaking to the chancellor this morning. lots of people doing the maths and trying to work at the politics of what is laid down? morning. i think the politics for the conservative party are quite straightforward. they have had a little period now where taxes have been going up and up. inflation has been going up and up. inflation has been going up and up. the pressure on people's wallets has been getting more severe. that is why i think whenjeremy hunt spoke to you on this programme earlier, he was trying to advertise the fact that one of the crucial tax cuts they made yesterday in the autumn statement was for workers. this is a national insurance cut from _ this is a national insurance cut from 12% — this is a national insurance cut from 12% to 10%. that is a £450 cut for someone — from 12% to 10%. that is a £450 cut for someone on the average salary. i think— for someone on the average salary. i

heard in further. — you also heard in mentioning businesses. the other big tax cut forjeremy hunt yesterday was the permanent introduction of something called full expensing for businesses. it basically allows them to reduce some of their tax bills. something the conservatives say will stimulate the economy. but look, in the autumn statement yesterday you also had a lot to fuel labour's arguments. the labour party say, hang on a second, it is all very well cutting taxes, and the labour party say they will keep those tax cuts should they win the election, but it comes in the context of taxes having gone up a lot. here is rachel reeves. well, the truth is despite _ here is rachel reeves. well, the truth is despite the _ here is rachel reeves. well, the truth is despite the

taking effect at the start of the next tax year, will take effect early next year. that has got a lot of tongues wagging in westminster that rishi sunak might be giving himself space to call a general election as soon as next may. watch this space. henry, thank you. naga is going to pick up on the story and the middle east this morning that there was no official timeline for the hostage release, but it was thought it might be this morning. there were big hints dropped to journalist about this potential deal that might have happened today. the release of 50 israeli hostages from gaza by hamas has been put back until tomorrow at the earliest. a pause in the fighting, which was due to come into effect this morning, will also be delayed. no official reason was given for the delay, though israel said talks about the deal were progressing. hamas is designated as a terrorist organisation by the uk. 0ur middle east correspondent yolande knell reports. the continuing anguish. this was the day some israeli hostage families had hoped to see their loved ones again. but late last night there was news of a 24—hour delay, also affecting the release of palestinian prisoners. israeli reports say hamas and qatar, which is mediating, haven't yet signed the truce deal. children are supposed to be among the first israelis freed. hadas kalderon desperately wants her son and daughter back. they were snatched with her ex—husband on the 7th of october. i just want to hug my children, to kiss them, to protect them, to promise them that it will never happen again. that's all i want. i don't care about nothing. because my life has been broken apart. my life wants to be the same again. and their life wants to be the same. camping on the street, and crammed into public shelters like this un school, in gaza the wait also continues for a promised four—day truce. without enough food to go around, a pause is meant to clear a path for hundreds of lorries carrying goods, fuel and medical supplies. even then aid agencies have been warning much more needs to be done. and palestinians living amid the destruction are wary about any pause in fighting. "what use is this truce? people are being displaced either way. what benefit do we get?" asks omo ramy. "we want a complete ceasefire. we want a truce to stop the bloodshed. our children are lost." gaza keeps burying its dead, with more than 100 bodies in this mass grave. the coming days may bring quiet, but israel and hamas have said afterwards the war will resume. translation: i want to be clear. the war is continuing. we will continue it until we achieve all our goals of returning all our abductees, eliminating hamas, and guaranteeing after hamas, gaza is not to be controlled by a party that supports terrorism. and for now the bombardment of besieged gaza goes on, as it has for nearly seven weeks. both sides are standing by to see if a deal will hold up and bring different scenes tomorrow. yolande knell, bbc news, jerusalem. yolande knelljoins us now. morning. what more do we know about this delay? i think you have made it very clear that if this was never official, but there were big hints dropped, weren't there?- dropped, weren't there? that's riuht. dropped, weren't there? that's right- there — dropped, weren't there? that's right. there were _ dropped, weren't there? that's right. there were briefings - dropped, weren't there? that's. right. there were briefings being given by senior sources on different sides tojournalist that given by senior sources on different sides to journalist that the deal would come into effect from this morning. then last night we had a statement that came from israel's national security adviser basically saying the release was still on track. but it wouldn't begin any sooner than friday morning. so, that was a real disappointment for some of the families who really are just waiting with bated breath to see if their loved ones are going to be returned home. now the white house said they were logistical details that were holding things up. we have had qatar coming out this morning, the key mediator, saying to expect an announcement in the coming hours about when officially the start time for this deal would be. but against this backdrop you have lord cameron, the new foreign secretary, coming to the new foreign secretary, coming to the region. it is his first trip back years since his return to government. and he is going to be meeting israeli officials during the day. we know he is somebody who strongly support israel. but we have heard he will also be talking to them about the real need to protect civilians in gaza, and to urgently get more aid going in there. thank you very much for that. yolande knell injerusalem. two people have died attempting to cross the channel in a small boat, after it was spotted getting into difficulty yesterday. just hours later, lifeboat crews were called to a separate incident, and rescued a number of other people in the channel. they were brought to shore in dungeness in kent. the veteran anti—islam dutch politician geert wilders has won a dramatic general election victory in the netherlands. the latest forecast shows his far—right freedom party is set to win 37 seats, well ahead of his nearest rival. in order to govern he will need to persuade other parties tojoin him in a coalition. the covid inquiry is continuing today after england's former deputy chief medical officer, professor sirjonathan van—tam, revealed during wednesday's session that he and his family had been the victim of death threats. our reporter ellie price has been following the inquiry. he became well known during the pandemic because of his memorable metaphors cutting through the science. it's a bit like being 3—0 up in a game and thinking, well, we can't possibly lose this now. but how many times have you seen the other side take it 4—3? i swear by almighty god. but the then deputy chief medical adviser, professorjonathan van—tam, now professor sirjvt, told the inquiry his workload had been horrendous, and so was the abuse. i did not expect my family to be threatened with having their throats cut. i did not expect the police to have to say, will you move out in the middle of the night, in the middle of the evening? will you move out for a few days while we look at this and potentially make some arrests? you know, we didn't move out because of the cat as it happened. we didn't want to leave the cat. it wasn't just the cat the inquiry�*s chair, baroness hallett, wanted to thank. ijust want you to be reminded — you probably don't need reminding, butjust in case you do — the vast majority of the population abhor such conduct, and we are enormously grateful to you and your colleagues. the inquiry heard that as early as mid—january 2020, more than six weeks before the first death from covid in the uk, professor van—tam said his instinct was telling him a pandemic was imminent. but he conceded his instinct was not enough to base government policy on. ijust know how notoriously difficult to control respiratory viruses are. i knew this by this stage appeared to be a novel coronavirus. i knew the diagnostics would not be necessarily sophisticated or upscaled anywhere in the world at this point. and just my general experience told me that i didn't like the look orfeel of this. in the day the inquiry had continued to hear evidence from sirjvt�*s old boss, professor chris whitty. he said he was not consulted on the then chancellor's eat out to help out scheme. neither patrick nor i can recall it, and i think we would have done. it would have been prudent, let's put it that way, for them to have thought about discussing it. rishi sunak told the commons yesterday the government had always consulted the scientists. it will no doubt come up when the pm faces questions at the inquiry in the next few weeks. to round off this big science week, the inquiry will hear later on from professor dame angela mclean. she's now the uk's chief scientific adviser. she was a deputy at the time. we'll also hearfrom kemi badenoch, who was the equalities minister. ellie price, bbc news, at the covid inquiry in london. a rescue team in india says it's nowjust metres away from a group of 41 miners, who've been trapped in a collapsed tunnel for 11 days. authorities have been supplying the men with oxygen, food and water through a pipeline. the construction workers were building the tunnel when a part of it caved in. two people have died after a speeding car crashed and exploded on a bridge near niagra falls on the us—canada border. it triggered a major security alert, but the governor of new york ruled out terrorism. us actorjamie foxx is being sued by a woman who alleges he sexually assaulted her at a restaurant in new york city eight years ago. according to the lawsuit, mr foxx groped the woman after she asked to have her photo taken with him. mr foxx�*s representatives have not commented. girls aloud, one of the uk s biggest—selling pop groups, have announced that they will reunite for a tour following an 11 year break. the shows will be dedicated to their former bandmate, sarah harding,?who died of breast cancer in 2021. the group have confirmed they'll perform "all the hits", but have no plans to record new music without sarah. here's matt with the weather. good morning. that is quite a grey picture compared

when the hostages might be released. there was a hope it might have started by now, this morning. what is your understanding of where that sits now? mr; is your understanding of where that sits now? ~

side to side. there are new elements that come into this. i know the qataris have worked tirelessly and tried their best to make it as soon as possible. but the simple answer is we don't know. i was supposed to be on a plane in a few hours to israel. and be with my family, hopefully get some good news from there. i postpone that because there is no point in going when there is no deal in place. so we can talk now. but the reality is that you need two sites for the deal. we know that the trust between the two sights is very, very, very low, so it is down to the qataris and the americans who are not something that would help. the most important thing is we have a mechanism in place and i don't think they can agree on the mechanism at the moment, so we don't know where we stand. it might take 24 hours, it might take more. but we are in the psychological torture for 48 days. this is another aspect of that. it is all very, very tense and intense. we are talking about 50 people out of 236. so, there are a lot of families who don't know what is going on. there are families that hope that something is going on, parents of kids and women and elderly, but we don't know. and it's still the same thing. we don't know. we need to sit and wait and keep on doing what we can to make this happen. doing what we can to make this ha en. .. , doing what we can to make this hauen. . _,, doing

chancellorjeremy hunt has pledged up to £7 million over the next three years to charities tackling antisemitism in the uk. the funding comes after two jewish schools in north london were vandalised with red paint last month following hamas's attack on israel and the subsequent military retaliation. the met police says it has made 75 arrests linked to the israel—gaza conflict. the muslim council of britain said the government needed to show it is tackling hate crime equally across all communities. all this week we have been putting london's knife crime crisis in the spotlight. today we're looking at the work of london's major trauma centres who deal with hundreds of stabbings each year. at st mary's in paddington they admitted more than 400 knife crime victims last year. they are always on the lookout for danger. their response? they are quick to fire. they're quick to anger. they're quick to respond in a negative way. and it's come from a place of fear. it's not necessarily coming from a place of, "i want to attack you." it's not a choice. well, bbc london has been hearing from young people and others involved in trying to come up with possible solutions to the crisis in a special debate. and you can find out more and take part in the converstaion. by going to our website, or listening to radio london after 10 with eddie nestor or on our programme at 6.30. a coroner has said the circumstances around the death of london gangster—turned—author dave courtney reached the threshold to open an inquest. mr courtney was found dead by a friend in his south london home last month. courtney claimed to be an associate of the kray twins and swapped a life of crime for writing books. let's take a look at the tubes now. there's a good service on the tubes this morning. just minor delays on the circle and jubilee lines. and london 0verground has no service between sydenham and west croydon. now onto the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. there are one or two clearer spells around first thing this morning, but it is going to be a largely cloudy day. some brighter spells, though, developing as we head through the afternoon. so, rather grey skies. we've got a westerly breeze. should stay dry today and through the afternoon the cloud will start to thin and break. so some sunny spells developing by the end of the day. temperatures very mild as well, 13 celsius the maximum. but overnight, a cold front starts to sink south. the wind starts to veer from the northwest and strengthens. a spell of rain for a short time. but that should start to fizzle out by the end of the night. the minimum temperature, six or seven celsius. now, this cold front clears through friday morning. behind it, of course, the colder air will start to penetrate. so it is going to feel a lot chillier through the course of friday. still some cloud around. first thing, you might get a spot of rain, but the cloud breaking up. some sunny spells for the afternoon. temperatures, though, in single figures between seven and nine celsius. and we're hanging on to the colder air through the first part of the weekend. we're likely to wake up to a widespread frost on saturday morning. that's it. there's plenty more on our website or on the bbc news app. we're back in half an hour. see you then. bye. hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt andnaga munchetty annual household energy prices will rise by five percent injanuary — that's according to the latest price cap annoucement by the energy regulator ofgem. ben's here with the details. then, there's a lot to go through and some things people could do today in terms of checking their bill is now the information is out. yes, it's one of those mornings where i've been in giving people a lot of numbers but with good reason but because the numbers have a real impact on people, especially as we head into the winter. this is the latest update to the energy price cap which is set by the regulator ofgem every three months.so we've found out this morning that it will rise in january to march. for a typical household using an average amount of energy it works out at £1928 a year up from the current level ofjust over 1800 pounds a year. that's if you're on a dual fuel tariff and paying by direct debit. this new level of the cap represents an increase of £94 a year for a typical household. ecause wholesale energy prices have crept up again and the regulator says it's because wholesale energy prices have crept up again and because households will no longer have the government support worth 400 pounds which they got last winter the amount they pay in energy bills will be more. remember the cap sets the maximum amount suppliers can charge per unit of gas and electricity — it doesn't cap the total bill. so if you use more energy you will pay more.here are the maximum unit costs from january, rounded to the nearest penny. for gas, it's 7.4 pence. for electricity it's 28.6 — so almost 29 pence. standing charges — the daily fixed fees for gas and electricity that you have to pay — remain pretty much the same. for gas, it's 30 pence a day. for electricity, 53 pence. those standing charges apply regardless of how little energy you use — even if you use none at all. ofgem launched a public consultation on reforming those, but we don't know when we'll see any changes. someone who could shed some light on this is the chief executive of ofgen, jonathan brearley. good to have you with this. those standing charges are a pain point for people struggling with their bills on your consultation is open untiljanuary, so how soon might we see the standing charges change? well, look, the most important _ standing charges change? well, look, the most important thing _ standing

one blackpool, has spoken out over england midfielderjordan henderson's move to saudi arabia. daniels is the uk#s only openly gay, active male professoional footballer, and says henderson moving to saudi, felt like a real blow, he was back me the whole way on my phone and saying he was really proud i'm seeing him move to saudi it's a slap on my face, really. obviously, it was frustrating but i suppose the money pays well and money must mean more to people. barnsley have apologised to their own fans for effectively knocking themselves out of the fa cup and re—writing the fairytale story, of non league horsham. obasi had beaten them in their fa cup replay but barnsley have been thrown out for fielding an ineligible player in the replay which was after horschel�*s heroics after earning a 3—3 draw at the home of the south yorkshire professionals, but now they are back in the cup and have a chance to repeat the joyous scenes when they play sutton united at the bottom of league 2 a week

sutton are a big team, several leaves -- i are a big team, several leaves —— leagues above us, but we went to barnsley and we didn't show nerves and we got a draw, so from my point of view we are the underdogs but we are not going to sutton to make up the numbers. we have to view this as a winnable game with the prize of being in the third round injanuary. maybe they will visit manchester city. now if you've ever been to manchester city's etihad stadium you'll know there are three statues outside it of recent players vincent kompany, david silva and sergio aguero. well, from tuesday they'll be joined by three legendary names from the club's past. a statue to celebrate colin bell, mike summerbee and francis lee, has been created, as a tribute, to the legacy of the club s trophy—ladened era of the late sixties and early seventies. the three were integral in winning the league, fa cup, two league cups and the european cup winners' cup between 1968 and 1976. some would say it's long

world, but hasn't been built in the uk for 70 yea rs. also watching our report was the princess royal, and she went along to see for herself how the project is getting on, as tim muffett reports. in 22 months, the fastest aircraft in the world has emerged from blueprint and scale model to frontline operations. it was nicknamed the wooden wonder. mosquitoes of raf coastal command on the way to attack enemy shipping tucked away in a norwegian fjord. such a wonderful aircraft. here are pictures to carry in your mind's eye when next you hear of mosquitoes having been in action. george dunn is 101 years old. of the many aircraft he flew in the second world war, his favorite was the mosquito. full speed height. got everything. george has come to rye in east sussex to support a very special project and to meet a very special person. it shows how much she's interested in this particular project. in february, we reported on the people's mosquito, a charity run by volunteers that hopes to build a mosquito in the uk for the first time in 70 years. that's good. we should have one of these flying and for me, to be doing it is a real privilege. we have to source timber. we've got to learn to read drawings. it's a big learning curve. it seems our report received royal attention. the princess royal is very interested in our uk heritage of course, and also as well. she's very much interested in uk, and british engineering and also not only our heritage but also for the future. i believe that her interest in our charity, the people's mosquito was sparked back in the early part of this year when the original film went out on bbc breakfast. so this is a sample. the charity has three pillars to fly, to educate, to remember, and we're doing it for george. we're also doing it for future generations, not only from a heritage point of view, but also a british engineering point of view as well. great pleasure to introduce to flight lieutenant george dunn. you can see here. weere they difficult to fly? were they different from the other things? no, the only slight snag with a mosquito, it would tend to swing on take off. this is your story. that's my story. yes. very good of you to do this. it's very important. i hope you enjoy reading it, the volunteers are following original technical drawings found in an old filing cabinet at the airbus factory in broughton in north wales, where mosquitoes were once built. well, the original bbc breakfast programme that went out to air earlier this year, i think you may have seen, sort of thing. so we're pleased to invite about the same film crew to cover today for you. what do you make of this project? what skill sets you have to find to do this compared to what was already going on here, has been pretty impressive. as i was saying, a lot of boat building techniques here and the sort of old skills, and they've been doing that for quite a long time. very sensible use of materials. to meet a veteran such as george as well, incredible. he's fortunately, he's got a record of his experience, which is a real relief. he's taken the trouble to put it on paper because it makes such a difference. not everybody does. but so, yes, that, i'm afraid, that memory is going to go all too soon. she's a lovely lady. she's hard working, and it was a pleasure and an honour to meet her. the volunteers hope to get the mosquito airborne by 2027, but face a huge fundraising challenge. i'd love to be there when it takes off. i wish it could be sooner, because i'm101 now. it'll be a lucky pilot that gets thatjob, i think. throw your hat in the ring, george! tim muffett, bbc news. that's a wonderful story, a first—hand account of what it was like. first-hand account of what it was like. , .' ., first-hand account
