of wales at radio 1's newsbeat — recording a special episode on mental health. as we said at the start of this special newsbeat, this is all about having a meaningful conversation on mental health, but it shouldn't stop here. absolutely, because talking about mental health is so important. coming up on the bbc news channel, jofra archer is given an england central contract despite not playing international cricket for the last 18 months, so they're hoping the fast bowler will be back in the next year. good afternoon and welcome to the bbc news at one. the bank of england has made a fresh move to try to calm investors, saying it will buy more government bonds after warning of a material risk on the markets to financial stability. uk bonds are also known as gilts, and they allow the government to raise money by borrowing from investors. the bank's move is part of its emergency scheme which started after last month's mini budget, when the government's plan for large tax cuts without explaining how they would be paid for spooked the markets and drove up borrowing costs. those costs rose sharply again yesterday after the bank said the scheme would end this week. downing street said this lunchtime that liz truss remains committed to the measures in the mini budget. here's our business correspondent, ben king, with more. another ben king, with more. day of chaos on the market amid another day of chaos on the market amid the after—shocks of the mini budget. sharp rises in the interest rate on gilts have forced pension funds into a fire sale of assets, to the point where the bank of england has had to step in once again, an unintended consequence of the chancellor's radical plan to shake up chancellor's radical plan to shake up the economy with billions of unfunded tax cuts. so here is a graph of the performance of one of the bonds that has been getting the bank of england's attention today. if you look from the 23rd of september, the day of the mini budget, this line heads sharply up as a sign of people losing confidence in the market and trying to sell these bonds as quickly as they can, to the point where on the 28, the bank of england feels it has to intervene to try and bring this grass back down and return order to the market. that works for a while, but over october, this line starts heading back up again, a sign that fear is returning to the market, to the point where the bank of england has had to intervene once more. the mini has had to intervene once more. tue: mini budget has had to intervene once more. tte: mini budget has directly caused this disruption in the gilt markets, and the reason for that is because of these unfunded tax cuts. you can look around at other government bond markets around the world and they haven't moved to this degree. the chancellor has only said that he wants to get debt falling relative to the economy in the medium term, and a report from the institute for fiscal studies today highlights how hard this will be. unless he u—turns on tax cuts, the chancellor will need to cut spending by £60 billion in five years' time. as an example, that might mean saving 13 billion by only increasing working age benefits in line with earnings, not inflation, for two years, 1a billion by limiting investment to 2% of national income, and 35 billion by cutting 15% of all departments accept health and defence. fine cutting 15% of all departments accept health and defence. one of the problems _ accept health and defence. one of the problems the _ accept health and defence. one of the

unnecessary, and he has brought forward the date where he will explain his planning full to october the 31st. but will it be enough to calm the markets, which are already badly shaken? ben king, bbc news. the uk's unemployment rate has dropped to its lowest level for almost 50 years. according to the office for national statistics, betweenjune and august the unemployment rate fell to 3.5% — the lowest quarterly rate since february 197a. this is partly due to an increase in the number of people classed as economically inactive — that's people who aren't ready to start work within a fortnight and haven't been looking for a job during the last month. it's estimated that is around 9 million working age adults — that's one in five. but the squeeze on pay remains, with rises in regular wages failing to keep up with the rising cost of living. ramzan karmali has been looking at the numbers. as harvest comes to an activity at this farm is heating up. these onion pickers are working hard. this farm employ 750 seasonal workers each year, but this season, farmer derek wilkinson has struggled to fill his vacancies. as a result, he has not had the harvest he hoped for. we were u- had the harvest he hoped for. - were up to 40% short of people in may and that resulted in us losing some of our asparagus crop and some of our spring onions, which cost us, as a business, quarter of a million. if you can't get the workers from abroad, what does that mean for your business? tt abroad, what does that mean for your business? ., ., �* , business? if government don't listen and then

if government don't listen and then give us the people, we - business? if government don't listen and then give us the people, we will| and then give us the people, we will see a massive contraction of our uk horticultural industry, because people simply won't risk growing these crops unless they know they have the labour to harvest them. so the production will move overseas. firms like this rely heavily on seasonal workers. the truth is, most of them are from abroad, but without them here, food like this could go to waste. ina is from ukraine. her pay is higher than the national wedge of

problem of their not being enough _ house or an apartment. the problem of their not being enough workers i house or an apartment. the problem of their not being enough workers in | of their not being enough workers in the economy is an ongoing one, with vacancies remaining close to historical highs at over 1.2 million. additionally, the economically inactivity rate, that is there is not looking for work or unable to work, rose to 21.7% and the number who are inactive as a result of being long—term sick hit a record high at almost 2.5 million. despite all these pressures in the market, which is on average are not keeping up with inflation yet again. if we look at public sector pay, it was onlyjust if we look at public sector pay, it was only just above if we look at public sector pay, it was onlyjust above 2% year—on—year in this latest release. and that of course pulls down the overall average. the other thing is that there is a lag effect. the tight labour market has been with us for a while, but only now is pay growth starting to respond to that. the chancellor _ starting to respond to that. the chancellor insists that the fundamentals of the uk economy remain resilient, and that the governments growth plan will lead to higher wages, governments growth plan will lead to higherwages, but governments growth plan will lead to higher wages, but businesses like this firm belief that without enough workers, growth will become harder to achieve. ramzan karmali, bbc news, warwickshire. our business editor, simonjack, joins me now. how would you analyse what is going on in our economy? the big word here is growth. that is the governments number one priority. you saw in that package that a lot of businesses are finding it hard to recruit staff, so hard in fact that they are having to turn away new business. so they are certainly not going their economy. so the labour market and the tightness of it and the difficulty of hiring people is a big problem for growth. the other one is that interest rates have been rising significantly, to the extent that the bank of england had to get involved again this morning to do an emergency bond buying programme to try and calm the markets down. at that mini budget, a lot of the financial markets said, we don't see how the numbers add up. if interest rates go up, that is bad for refinancing and new borrowers and it is bad for corporations, companies would like to borrow to invest to grow the economy. so on two fronts, you have impediments to growth, which puts the emphasis now on the chancellor to come up with some reforms which will mean reforming the supply of labour and reforming the supply of labour and reforming the supply of land to build on. a lot of pressure on him, and obr will release their estimate of whether these sums add up at the end of october. there will be an enormous amount of pressure on that, because the bank of england does not want to have to get involved in emergency measures in the bond market, which it done two or three times since the mini budget. so markets are looking for some guidance, saying, mini budget. so markets are looking forsome guidance, saying, can mini budget. so markets are looking for some guidance, saying, can you make these numbers add up, and can businesses grow? that is the governments priority, but there are obstacles on that path. mps return to westminster today after a break for the party conferences. let's get the latest from westminster with our political correspondent, iain watson. a great deal in the government's in—tray? yes, indeed. the in—tray is absolutely overflowing, and most of the stuff in it is as welcome as a big energy bill. as we heard, kwasi kwarteng, the chancellor, is bringing forward his economic plan from the end of november talked up in the 31st. but the announcement has not eased marketjitters. therefore, in the content, it is going to be more important than the timing. if the markets remain spooked after his halloween statement, the political choices for liz truss become all the more difficult. if, for example, she decides to increase benefits by less than the current rate of inflation, many of her own mps are going to oppose that. if she decides she is going to cut back on big projects like road building than some of the mps who are to live where electoral promise of levelling up are going to hit it. it will also prevent her from increasing her goal of economic growth. this afternoon the shadow chancellor rachel reeves is going to: kwasi kwarteng, the chancellor, to: kwasi kwarteng, the chancellor, to reverse that mini budget from last month. i don't think the government is going to do that. but last week at a conference, liz truss said she was angry and determined. she may remain angry, but my goodness, head determination is really going to be tested over the next few weeks. idilt really going to be tested over the next few weeks.— next few weeks. iain watson reporting- — long range attacks by russia on ukraine have continued into a second day, with explosions reported in cities including zaporizhzhia and lviv. president biden and other world leaders are holding a virtual meeting to discuss the widespread russian attacks — with president zelenskyjoining the g7 gathering virtually. the united nations says russia's latest attacks appear to have targeted civilian infrastructure, and could therefore amount to war crimes. hugo bachega has the latest from the ukrainian capital, kyiv. ukrainians went underground this morning. across the country, the air raid sirens went off, a warning of the russian threat coming from the sky. on people's phones, a message from the emergency service, "stay in shelters." translation: we don't feel safe, because we don't - know what's coming next. nevertheless, i hope that what happened yesterday was the scariest thing and that there won't be anything on this scale in the future. translation: i'm not afraid because there will be - victory for ukraine, ukrainians, for all our people. i believe in the armed forces, in our president. i believe in everything every one of us is doing in their own place, in every volunteer who brings victory and peace closer. russia hit civilian sites across the country yesterday. tourist places, parks, busy intersections. the attacks were intended to shake the sense of normality felt here in kyiv and other cities away from the front lines. this is where a missile struck in kyiv. a children's playground nearby was partially destroyed. but work was under way to repair the damage. in cities near the fighting, more destruction. overnight, the southern city of zaporizhzhia was attacked again. this block of flats was hit and one person was killed. at around lunchtime a missile hit lviv to the west, near the polish border, russia's message to ukraine that no city is safe. hugo bachega, bbc news, kyiv. the head of the british intelligence agency, gchq, says russian forces in ukraine are exhausted and running out of ammunition. sirjeremy fleming says ukraine is turning the tide against russia but he warned against complacency, saying russia still had a very capable military machine. a court in manchester has been hearing more evidence in the trial of a neonatal nurse accused of murdering seven babies and attempting to kill ten others. 32—year—old lucy letby is accused of carrying out the offences between 2015 and 2016 at the countess of chester hospital. she has pleaded not guilty. our correspondentjudith moritz is outside manchester crown court. tell us what happened this morning? the prosecution are continuing to lay out the case against lucy letby, and this is a case involving 17 babies. we are not naming those babies. we are not naming those babies because of reporting restrictions imposed here, so we are referring to them instead by letters of the alphabet. 17 babies means babies from a to the q. the barrister opening for the prosecution has been going through those babies one by one, thejury hearing more detail now about the way in which the prosecution allege lucy letby attacked them. we heard that three of the babies died and one had a life—threatening episode within a two—week period injune 2015. we have been told about a range of different methods that the prosecution say lucy letby carried out these attacks, including injecting air into the babies, which proved fatal, and in some cases injecting insulin. we have also been told that lucy letby searched repeatedly online for information about the parents of some of these babies on facebook, including on one occasion on christmas day. and we were given some detail about the case in particular of baby e, one of a set of twins, a tween boy who was in the intensive care section of the hospital. his mum was in the postnatal ward and came to visit him one night and thejury postnatal ward and came to visit him one night and the jury was told that as she arrived without realising it, she interrupted lucy letby at murdering her son. she interrupted lucy letby at murdering herson. lucy she interrupted lucy letby at murdering her son. lucy letby packed her off back to the postnatal ward, telling her, trust me, i'm a nurse. as you said at the beginning, the nurse denies all the charges against her and the case continues. thank ou, her and the case continues. thank you. judith- _ the first funeral of one the victims of an explosion at a service station in county donegal has been held this morning. the funeral mass for 24—year—old jessica

tragic accident. we can speak to charlotte gallagher, who's in the village for us. charlotte ? hundreds of people were outside that church as a hearse carrying jessica gallagher arrived, and there was complete silence. people stood remembering this young woman who had travelled the world, shanghai, paris, but had come home for her dream job. the priest said she was thejewel in herfamily and left ripples of love everywhere she went, and he said there are no answers as to what happened tojessica at that petrol station on friday. later the funeral of another victim, martin magill, will take place. he was a9, a devoted son, a carerfor his elderly mum and would do anything for anyone. elderly mum and would do anything foranyone. it elderly mum and would do anything for anyone. it brings it home how small and close—knit to this community is. the simple white churches outside the pharmacy where martin went about day to pick up a prescription for his mum, and next to the primary school where the youngest victim aged five attended. this is a community facing its darkest days, people are consumed with grief and many will be attending all ten funerals for those ten lives lost.— ten lives lost. charlotte gallagher, thank you- — the time is 13:18. our top story this lunchtime... the bank of england intervenes again to buy more government debt in an attempt to calm investors as the fall—out from last month's mini budget continues. and still to come.... it's exactly a0 years since henry viii's flagship, the mary rose, was raised from the bottom of the solent after a37 years under the sea. coming up on the bbc news channel, wales face a play—off that could take them to their first ever women's world cup. they play switzerland tonight, whilst scotland could also qualify. they're up against the republic of ireland. the prince and princess of wales have recorded a special edition of radio 1's newsbeat — speaking about the importance of mental health. the royals took on roles as reporters to hear the experiences of four guests for world mental health day yesterday. newsbeat presenter pria rai reports. how are you doing? no, really. how are you doing? it's a simple enough question but one that can spark a really meaningful conversation. yesterday was world mental health day and as part of a special recording, we had two very special newsbeat reporters to help. thanks, pria. it's great to be here on world mental health day. i was diagnosed with schizophrenia and emotional unstable personality disorder when i was a teenager, around the ages of15, 16. a lot of it came from, you know, coming from an african background, mental health isn't a topic of discussion, it's not something i was aware of or had any knowledge of until... we are only sort of helped when we are at crisis point, because it's a thing i call overresilience. we've been made to be so overresilient that we push away those vulnerabilities and those weaknesses. the last time we were here - was to launch the heads together campaign which was to get people l to start opening up and talking i about mental health. abigailjust maybe could touch on... i liken work we've done on mental health and listening to lots of people talk about it, everyone likes a tool box, particularly men, a tool box is quite useful analogy to use. how much in your work do you see...? because you alluded to the fact big family networks and support networks around people are really important, but a lot of people don't realise what they need until it actually comes along. you could be living one life one minute and then something massively changes and you realise you don't necessarily have the tools or the experience to be able to tackle that. to have, i suppose, in your tool box, communication would be key, and i think some of the myth—busting as well around attachment. we know now through studies that actually any parent who spends a significant amount of time — orany caregiver — with a child will also form similar attachments and have those similar patterns as well. i'd love to know and, pria, maybe the listeners also l would be interested as well, knowing how do you look - after your own mental health? that's a big question. i know not every day is going to be roses and sunflowers, you know? i know some days i'm going to have to push against the clouds to see that sun again, you know? i know that, you know, when you have a bad day, that doesn't mean it'll be a bad week ora bad month, so that's the type of awareness i'm talking about, you know, coming to accept these things. i'm conscious we might run out of time and pria might sort of say this is the worst newsbeat production, or two interviewers she's ever seen... do you know what? you can come back. this seat, i've kept it warm, i think you've done a very good job and you can come back. carry on. well, as we said at the start of this special newsbeat, this is all about having a meaningful conversation on mental health, but it shouldn't stop here. yeah, absolutely, because talking l about mental health is so important and it's definitely the first step for us all is to keep talking, i having those conversations and reaching out for help. i and you can watch more from the prince and princess of wales on bbc iplayer or listen on bbc sounds. and if you have been affected by any of the issues they have been discussing or

credit. the campaign, called feed the future, has the backing of famous chefs including tom kerridge and jamie oliver. ministers say the measure is not the best way to figure out who might need more help. jamie oliver argues that extending the scheme would save households money and help to boost the economy. the reality is if you speak to the best minds in economics in the country, in the world, they will tell you that if you output healthier kids, you're going to have a more productive, more profitable country, better gdp. and to do that you have to think in ten to 20 years, not three year cycles. i've been through six prime ministers, 13 education secretaries, and none of them have taken seriously, like, kind of managing child health. new analysis shows that for the first time the

the depths of the solent. after more than a00 years sitting on the sea bed, the mary rose emerged from the waters. the ship now has her own dedicated museum at the portsmouth historic dockyard, from wherejohn maguire reports now, there is the wreck of the mary rose, this flagship of henry viii. it's the first time we have seen this in a37 years. inch by inch, the ship that was the pride of henry viii's mighty navy peeked above the waters of the solent and began to reveal her secrets. the then prince charles was present to witness his ancestor�*s flagship return to the surface. i believe she's in marvellous condition. and he was right. the half of the ship and a huge number of artifacts were preserved by centuries cocooned in mud and silt on the sea bed. so these are some of our tudor long bows. this is actually one of... the ship was listed with 250 long bows. so these are some of them. we've got 130 odd that are complete out of the 250, and fragments of a bit more. when the ship was first raised, she was kept wet by spraying her timbers. but in recent years, technology has allowed for dry preservation. now those three orange squares are on top of the three ribs, orframes. that was the first thing that was discovered by divers in1971. it then took a further 11 years of excavation, exploration, examination, to bring the mary rose to the surface and to see the incredible structure that survives to this day. but that was only part of the story. there is still so much more to discover. for the next sort of a0 years we are hoping to uncover more secrets and maybe even go back on the solent and get some of the rest that's still down there. 500 souls were lost when the ship sank during a battle with the french in 15a5. and the work goes on today to help tell their stories, alongside the history of the mary rose, providing precious insight into life almost 500 years ago. john maguire, bbc news, portsmouth. scotland's caroline weir says it'll be hard to think
