Good evening and welcome to the BBC News at Six. | :01:31. | :01:33. | |
The UK economy is in for a roller coaster ride - as the UK | :01:34. | :01:36. | |
negotiates its exit from the European Union - | :01:37. | :01:38. | |
so said the Chancellor Philip Hammond as he outlined to the Tory | :01:39. | :01:40. | |
conference his financial priorities over the coming year. | :01:41. | :01:43. | |
He pledged spending on new homes and transport but emphasised | :01:44. | :01:46. | |
that the deficit is still too large and will need to be tackled. | :01:47. | :01:50. | |
Our political editor Laura Kuenssberg was watching. | :01:51. | :01:54. | |
You probably have seen him somewhere. | :01:55. | :01:59. | |
Philip Hammond has done some of the biggest jobs | :02:00. | :02:02. | |
But now he's the man in charge of the country's money. | :02:03. | :02:07. | |
Dropping in on the nearest building site has long been a political | :02:08. | :02:10. | |
staple, but some things really have changed. | :02:11. | :02:14. | |
As the economy waits and holds its breath | :02:15. | :02:21. | |
after the referendum, it's Philip Hammond's time, | :02:22. | :02:24. | |
The fiscal policies that George Osborne set out | :02:25. | :02:32. | |
But when times change, we must change with them. | :02:33. | :02:38. | |
So we will no longer target the surplus at the end | :02:39. | :02:43. | |
But make no mistake, the task of fiscal | :02:44. | :02:47. | |
In other words, he'll still try to balance the country's | :02:48. | :02:53. | |
books but isn't promising to have it done by 2020. | :02:54. | :02:56. | |
There'll be no splurge, spending will still be cut | :02:57. | :03:00. | |
But this Tory Chancellor is also willing to borrow, | :03:01. | :03:11. | |
despite his hope to get the country out of debt. | :03:12. | :03:16. | |
Throughout the negotiating process, we are ready to take whatever steps | :03:17. | :03:19. | |
are necessary to protect this economy from turbulence. | :03:20. | :03:23. | |
Recognising the need for investment to build an economy that | :03:24. | :03:26. | |
A new plan, for the new circumstances Britain faces. | :03:27. | :03:34. | |
A Conservative government demonstrating the flexibility, | :03:35. | :03:39. | |
the common-sense and the pragmatism that has made our party the most | :03:40. | :03:42. | |
successful political party in British history. | :03:43. | :03:48. | |
They don't look like big spenders or borrowers, | :03:49. | :03:59. | |
it's only 2 billion to start with to build houses, but before | :04:00. | :04:11. | |
the referendum, the previous Chancellor, rarely seen | :04:12. | :04:13. | |
without his high viz jacket, would never a borrower have been. | :04:14. | :04:17. | |
Dealing with the deficit was practically his | :04:18. | :04:19. | |
The big campaign claim in the general election, | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
that only the Tories would get the country out of debt. | :04:24. | :04:25. | |
The Tories prided themselves on squeezing spending, | :04:26. | :04:27. | |
making enemies in some quarters and fans in others. | :04:28. | :04:29. | |
The cuts won't stop, but the new Chancellor wants | :04:30. | :04:32. | |
the option of slowing down or even borrowing, because after our vote | :04:33. | :04:36. | |
to leave the EU, he can't be sure what the country can afford. | :04:37. | :04:43. | |
You and Philip Hammond and conservative Cabinet ministers | :04:44. | :04:44. | |
That's what Labour promised at the election. | :04:45. | :04:48. | |
He said at the start of his speech, we still have a big deficit and | :04:49. | :04:58. | |
there is still work to do, but we need to be practical in bringing | :04:59. | :05:03. | |
that deficit down. The previous Chancellor promised to bring | :05:04. | :05:08. | |
infrastructure, it's just he failed to deliver. So it is a snub to | :05:09. | :05:14. | |
George Osborne? It's different. The point is, it's highly possible that | :05:15. | :05:18. | |
once we are clear and established about our relationship with the | :05:19. | :05:21. | |
European Union, the economy itself will grow fast. So he inherits a | :05:22. | :05:26. | |
particular situation, has to look at it and review it as he sees fit. If | :05:27. | :05:36. | |
it takes a little longer, so be it. Brexit has changed to have Tory talk | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
on the deficit, it's no longer number one. But it's not the end of | :05:42. | :05:47. | |
the spending squeeze. But perhaps a pause for breath. | :05:48. | :05:50. | |
So what do the Chancellor's plans mean for the economy, | :05:51. | :05:52. | |
coming a day after Theresa May said negotiations over Britain's | :05:53. | :05:55. | |
withdrawal from the EU will begin by next March? | :05:56. | :05:58. | |
Here's our Economics Editor, Kamal Ahmed. | :05:59. | :05:58. | |
The Treasury, run by Philip Hammond and Britain's holder of the purse | :05:59. | :06:07. | |
strings. A department engaged in a delicate balancing act between | :06:08. | :06:09. | |
borrowing to support the economy post the referendum and austerity. | :06:10. | :06:12. | |
Balancing the books, cutting the deficit so the government doesn't | :06:13. | :06:15. | |
spend more than it earns. The Chancellor still wants to get the | :06:16. | :06:20. | |
deficit under control, but can't do it as fast as he was hoping, or as | :06:21. | :06:28. | |
fast as George Osborne was hoping, because he is expecting the economy | :06:29. | :06:35. | |
to do less well. He might spend a bit more, but even if he doesn't, we | :06:36. | :06:42. | |
won't get that deficit down to zero. The deficit is what the country | :06:43. | :06:47. | |
spends and what it receives in revenues from things like taxes each | :06:48. | :06:53. | |
year. It has been the key political battle ground since the financial | :06:54. | :06:58. | |
crisis. In 2006, seven before the financial crisis, the deficit was | :06:59. | :07:02. | |
?36 billion. As the recession hit, tax revenues fell and spending rose | :07:03. | :07:07. | |
and the deficit hit ?155 billion in 2009, 2010. Before the referendum it | :07:08. | :07:12. | |
was forecast to fall to ?55 billion next year and zero by 20 20. Philip | :07:13. | :07:20. | |
Hammond today confirmed that target has been abandoned. The government | :07:21. | :07:24. | |
will borrow more to support the economy. We have seen a range of | :07:25. | :07:30. | |
positive news, consumers are relatively resilient, manufacturing | :07:31. | :07:31. | |
benefiting from the lower pound. But overall, in the medium term, we are | :07:32. | :07:35. | |
still expecting challenges and that would mean for the Chancellor, there | :07:36. | :07:41. | |
are likely to be less revenue coming in and more challenges to support | :07:42. | :07:46. | |
the economy. A tweet from an old friend, wishing the new Chancellor | :07:47. | :07:50. | |
look. It's not really look of course, the pound fell as markets | :07:51. | :07:57. | |
planned for Britain leaving the EU. Manufacturing figures were strong. | :07:58. | :08:02. | |
It is a delicate balancing act as the Chancellor plots his course | :08:03. | :08:06. | |
through this most uncertain of times. | :08:07. | :08:09. | |
Let's talk to our Political Editor Laura Kuenssberg who's at the Tory | :08:10. | :08:11. | |
You were listening to Philip Hammond's speech, how do you | :08:12. | :08:17. | |
interpret what he had to say and what it says about this new | :08:18. | :08:22. | |
government's thinking? It is a departure from the days when David | :08:23. | :08:27. | |
Cameron and George Osborne were in charge when it felt the deficit was | :08:28. | :08:32. | |
the priority, almost to the exclusion of anything else. It is a | :08:33. | :08:37. | |
big political departure from Matt. But it's not a promise to introduce | :08:38. | :08:42. | |
the kind of borrowing and spending Labour have been calling for and | :08:43. | :08:48. | |
it's not an end to the cuts. But in a sense, what it really is is Philip | :08:49. | :08:56. | |
Hammond, with so much uncertainty around, trying to check there are | :08:57. | :09:02. | |
airbags there and ready to go if the process of leaving the EU becomes a | :09:03. | :09:06. | |
political and economic car crash. One of the things it tells us, | :09:07. | :09:10. | |
although the Prime Minister is determined how government is not | :09:11. | :09:14. | |
going to be dominated about how we waved goodbye to Brussels, big | :09:15. | :09:18. | |
decisions are already being driven by what Brexit really means and the | :09:19. | :09:23. | |
uncertainty it creates and maybe no more so than in the economy. Thank | :09:24. | :09:26. | |
you very much. Autumn is closing in, | :09:27. | :09:29. | |
the weather and the water is getting colder but still they come, | :09:30. | :09:31. | |
4,000 in the last two days, Migrants continue to make | :09:32. | :09:33. | |
the dangerous journey across the Mediterranean but they're | :09:34. | :09:38. | |
arriving in a Europe where countries are closing their borders | :09:39. | :09:40. | |
and where public opinion Nearly 3,500 are believed | :09:41. | :09:43. | |

mission, led by the charity I have been on this rescue ship for | :09:49. | :10:02. | |
over a week. Forgive me, I am battling the sound of the ship's | :10:03. | :10:08. | |
engine. I am in the middle of a Mediterranean and there are people | :10:09. | :10:14. | |
on the deck behind me, over 200 people who were rescued by this ship | :10:15. | :10:19. | |
yesterday. They are a fraction of the thousands of people that have | :10:20. | :10:24. | |
made that perilous crossing in just the last two days, undeterred by the | :10:25. | :10:30. | |
danger they are exposing themselves to, and by the potential reaction | :10:31. | :10:33. | |
they might meet in Europe. Scanning the horizon in the early | :10:34. | :10:38. | |
morning, when the sea The migrant boat set out at night | :10:39. | :10:40. | |
so the owners won't be caught. A vessel comes into view with around | :10:41. | :10:45. | |
100 on board. There is no orange to be seen, | :10:46. | :10:47. | |
meaning no life jackets. The team scrambles to | :10:48. | :10:49. | |
get the small rescue They're given life jackets | :10:50. | :10:51. | |
to make them safe. Over 300,000 people reached Europe | :10:52. | :10:59. | |
across this sea, this year. Over 3000 have died doing so, | :11:00. | :11:03. | |
or been reported missing. The people have been | :11:04. | :11:12. | |
quite calm until now, but they are quite clearly getting | :11:13. | :11:15. | |
a bit agitated and the rescuers are having to tell them to sit down, | :11:16. | :11:17. | |
stay calm and they These people will have been | :11:18. | :11:21. | |
travelling for several hours now, they will have left the Libyan coast | :11:22. | :11:28. | |
in the darkness, unclear if they're ever | :11:29. | :11:30. | |
going to reach their destination. There are smiles, relief, | :11:31. | :11:33. | |
but no celebration. The group is entirely male | :11:34. | :11:39. | |
and mostly from West Africa. This young man is among them, | :11:40. | :11:45. | |
he didn't want to be identified. He's come from the Ivory Coast, | :11:46. | :11:47. | |
which he left four years He says he's experienced kidnap | :11:48. | :11:51. | |

want to, we do this If only people would welcome | :12:06. | :12:11. | |
us because we're not The conditions in which we find | :12:12. | :12:16. | |
ourselves are really unfavourable. And now there is effectively | :12:17. | :12:25. | |
a second rescue going on. There is another humanitarian | :12:26. | :12:29. | |
mission ship over there. It's already transporting migrants, | :12:30. | :12:33. | |
and about 100 of them are being transferred from that ship | :12:34. | :12:35. | |
to this one. There are women this time, | :12:36. | :12:40. | |
some of them looking shattered The majority of these | :12:41. | :12:43. | |
people are from Somalia. One is this 16-year-old girl, | :12:44. | :12:49. | |
escaping a forced marriage. She's been travelling for ten months | :12:50. | :12:53. | |
and wants to study medicine Italy, where the boat is heading | :12:54. | :12:55. | |

or I may be the same. The flimsy vessels that deliver | :13:19. | :13:23. | |
people here are destroyed by the rescuers so it | :13:24. | :13:29. | |
can't be reused. As for their occupants, | :13:30. | :13:31. | |

in what has been a long-running dispute. | :13:56. | :14:00. | |
Richard Wescott is with me. It seemed like a good idea at the time? | :14:01. | :14:12. | |
Twitter gives people an opportunity to be negative as well as positive. | :14:13. | :14:17. | |
There are plenty of angry customers who don't care how they resolve | :14:18. | :14:22. | |
this, they just want it resolved. It has been dragging on since the | :14:23. | :14:26. | |
spring, but today the company gave the RMT union and ultimatum. | :14:27. | :14:30. | |
Basically, the company wants to change what the guard those on the | :14:31. | :14:36. | |
train, the unions are not happy. The company had said by midday on | :14:37. | :14:39. | |
Thursday, accept the deal, or postpone the strikes, or we start | :14:40. | :14:49. | |
doing it anyway. People could then start losing their jobs. We will see | :14:50. | :14:55. | |
what happens when this deadline passes on Thursday. Richard, thank | :14:56. | :14:56. | |

and then tied her up and locked her in the bathroom | :15:50. | :15:52. | |

had been well prepared. TRANSLATION: | :15:55. | :15:58. | |

I was really aware of the young privileged African men who were | :18:55. | :18:58. | |
running around London in the 1940s, you know, in trilbies and overcoats, | :18:59. | :19:03. | |
many of whom were going to go back to their countries and be part of | :19:04. | :19:06. | |

you feel accepted as a British director, or do you still get a | :19:11. | :19:17. | |
question, where are you really from? It is very interesting, once I | :19:18. | :19:21. | |
became a little bit known as a director, I was kind of claimed in | :19:22. | :19:28. | |
many ways. I became understood as somebody who is British, | :19:29. | :19:30. | |
particularly because I think my stories are able to express | :19:31. | :19:35. | |
something of what it is to be bicultural. | :19:36. | :19:42. | |
My father would not approve. The language in your film is very bold | :19:43. | :19:46. | |
when it comes to issues around race, has that been influenced by your | :19:47. | :19:52. | |
upbringing? Yeah, I lived in a very explicitly negative world when it | :19:53. | :19:56. | |
came to race. I remember coming home from the cinema in Streatham hill | :19:57. | :19:59. | |
with my cinema, having bottles thrown at us. We were one of just | :20:00. | :20:04. | |
two black families living on the streets that I lived in in | :20:05. | :20:07. | |
Streatham, so we were very unusual in many ways, and we were reminded | :20:08. | :20:14. | |
of that regularly. You have been recently invited to vote as part of | :20:15. | :20:17. | |
the Oscars, there was the Holy See what diversity at the Oscars - is | :20:18. | :20:23. | |
there a will to change, and will things change? This has to be a many | :20:24. | :20:26. | |
pronged attack, we have to start changing within the industry, and | :20:27. | :20:32. | |
when the films are presented to ask voters, we have to judge them | :20:33. | :20:37. | |
fairly. Do you ever get those pinch me moments? Walking down the red | :20:38. | :20:41. | |
cupboard for the premiere of my film the first time with my dad at the | :20:42. | :20:46. | |
London Film Festival 12 years ago. I am very lucky, and yeah, right now, | :20:47. | :20:50. | |
it is every other day I am pinching myself. The stories from the past | :20:51. | :20:56. | |
are being given a new vision, a breakthrough for black British | :20:57. | :20:57. | |
history on the big screen. The new interim manager of England's | :20:58. | :21:05. | |
football team, Gareth Southgate, says he wants to move | :21:06. | :21:07. | |
on after a very difficult week that saw the departure | :21:08. | :21:10. | |
of Sam Allardyce. The former manager was filmed | :21:11. | :21:11. | |
in a newspaper sting appearing to give advice on how | :21:12. | :21:14. | |
to bypass player-transfer rules. I am involved in a sport that I | :21:15. | :21:24. | |
love, and an industry that at times I don't like. And really, outside of | :21:25. | :21:30. | |
that, the detail of what happened last week, I am not too vague with | :21:31. | :21:34. | |
that, because I genuinely was locked away. | :21:35. | :21:40. | |
One of the two remaining hospitals in the rebel-held eastern half | :21:41. | :21:42. | |
of the Syrian city of Aleppo has been targeted by an airstrike, | :21:43. | :21:45. | |
according to the medical organisation that supports it. | :21:46. | :21:47. | |
The UN Secretary General last week called the targeting | :21:48. | :21:49. | |
The hospital has been repeatedly targeted in the last week. | :21:50. | :21:53. | |
It is, or it was, the largest one in that part of Aleppo, | :21:54. | :21:56. | |
where it's estimated a quarter of a million people | :21:57. | :21:58. | |
Our Middle East correspondent Quentin Sommerville | :21:59. | :22:01. | |
joins us now from neighbouring Lebanon. | :22:02. | :22:02. | |
What's so concerning is not just that this is a hospital, | :22:03. | :22:05. | |
but it's reported to have been repeatedly targeted. | :22:06. | :22:14. | |
Yes, Fiona, undoubtedly this is a tactic being used by the Russians | :22:15. | :22:20. | |
and the Syrians. We speak to people inside Syria, and they tell us that | :22:21. | :22:24. | |
when the bombing started, they hid in homes. When they got bigger, they | :22:25. | :22:27. | |
did in their basements. The Russian tactic is to bomb them when they are | :22:28. | :22:38. | |
out in the open, helping the sick and the injured, targeting those | :22:39. | :22:41. | |
lifelines. It is an effective and brutal tactic, and as the UN said, | :22:42. | :22:44. | |
it is also a war crime. There have been so many war crimes in Syria you | :22:45. | :22:49. | |
could almost be forgiven for losing count of them, but the UN has made | :22:50. | :22:55. | |
it clear they are being noted, counted, and the people responsible | :22:56. | :22:58. | |
will one day be brought to account. Of course, that provides very little | :22:59. | :23:02. | |
comfort to people in Aleppo tonight, whether they are in rebel held areas | :23:03. | :23:06. | |
or elsewhere, who are under the threat of these bombs. Quentin | :23:07. | :23:08. | |
Sommerville in Lebanon, thank you. A brief look at some of the day's | :23:09. | :23:11. | |
other other news stories. The Deputy First Minister | :23:12. | :23:14. | |
of Northern Ireland Police searching for an RAF airman | :23:15. | :23:18. | |
who went missing in Bury St Edmunds more than week ago | :23:19. | :23:21. | |
are examining a bin lorry. Corrie Mckeague disappeared | :23:22. | :23:23. | |
after an evening out with friends. Police have seized the lorry, | :23:24. | :23:32. | |
believing it may contain information about his mobile phone. | :23:33. | :23:35. | |
BP has shut one of its oil platforms west of Shetland following a leak. | :23:36. | :23:39. | |
The incident happened on the Clair installation yesterday morning. | :23:40. | :23:41. | |
The company says about 95 tonnes were spilt. | :23:42. | :23:43. | |
the oil is currently moving away from the shore. | :23:44. | :23:51. | |
Martin McGuinness says the British Government is on a collision course | :23:52. | :23:56. | |
with the European Union and wants a hard border between Northern Ireland | :23:57. | :24:01. | |
and the Republic of Ireland would be disastrous and that there are | :24:02. | :24:02. | |
difficult times ahead. The world heavyweight champion | :24:03. | :24:04. | |
Tyson Fury announced his retirement in an expletive-laden rant | :24:05. | :24:06. | |
on Twitter today, but hours later | :24:07. | :24:08. | |
reversed his decision. It was reported last week that Fury | :24:09. | :24:10. | |
had tested positive for cocaine. That was a week after withdrawing | :24:11. | :24:12. | |
from a title rematch with Wladimir Klitschko | :24:13. | :24:15. | |
because he was medically unfit. In a later tweet, | :24:16. | :24:19. | |
he said he'd return to the ring The Monty Python actor and director | :24:20. | :24:21. | |
Terry Jones, who announced last month | :24:22. | :24:29. | |
that he has dementia, has accepted a prestigious award | :24:30. | :24:31. | |
for his film and television work. The recipient of the 2016 Bafta | :24:32. | :24:36. | |
award for his outstanding contribution to film | :24:37. | :24:39. | |
and television is Terry Jones. Cardiff last night, | :24:40. | :24:43. | |
and a standing ovation for a man who has been making | :24:44. | :24:48. | |
us laugh for 50 years. Michael Palin, his Python co-star | :24:49. | :24:52. | |
and friend since the early 1960s, presented him with | :24:53. | :24:54. | |
the Welsh Bafta award. For me, it was emotional, | :24:55. | :24:59. | |
because I love the guy, you know, and we've done | :25:00. | :25:01. | |
so much together. He's helped me | :25:02. | :25:04. | |
out of so many scrapes, he's helped me make jokes, | :25:05. | :25:07. | |
he's helped us write sketches, He's a brilliant | :25:08. | :25:10. | |
and intelligent guy who's taught me | :25:11. | :25:14. | |
an awful lot. there's so much | :25:15. | :25:16. | |
that we still enjoy. Terry Jones has been a documentary | :25:17. | :25:21. | |
maker, director and author, but he'll be forever | :25:22. | :25:24. | |
linked with Monty Python. Well, let me introduce | :25:25. | :25:27. | |
you, Mr John Smith. Terry Jones using his Bafta | :25:28. | :25:30. | |
as a mask, the old spark of humour | :25:31. | :25:36. | |
is still there. He's suffering from | :25:37. | :25:38. | |
progressive aphasia, a form of dementia which affects | :25:39. | :25:40. | |
his ability to speak. His son Bill, clearly emotional, | :25:41. | :25:43. | |
spoke for him. These struggles | :25:44. | :25:47. | |
we are having at the moment, Well-deserved award in very | :25:48. | :26:08. | |
difficult circumstances. Right, let's take a look at the weather, | :26:09. | :26:10. | |
John Hammond is here. All very quiet back on, but over in | :26:11. | :26:20. | |
the Caribbean this is the beast that is Hurricane Matthew, you can see | :26:21. | :26:24. | |
the art of the storm as it moves northwards, but the winds circling | :26:25. | :26:31. | |
around the eye, still well over 100 mph, crashing into Haiti, a glancing | :26:32. | :26:35. | |
blow for Jamaica, Eastern Cuba, ending up in the Bihar -- Bahamas. | :26:36. | :26:43. | |
We will keep a close eye on it, I can assure you. I come, very quiet, | :26:44. | :26:50. | |
a delightful scene earlier on, and most of us enjoyed sparkling autumn | :26:51. | :26:55. | |
sunshine. A bit of low cloud forming overnight in some eastern areas, in | :26:56. | :26:58. | |
particular the high ground, and on low ground a few fog patches, but | :26:59. | :27:02. | |
nothing too widespread. Some of us had a frost this morning, | :27:03. | :27:06. | |
temperatures not as low tonight, but well down into single figures in | :27:07. | :27:13. | |
rural spots. Any low cloud and mist will tend to break up, and other | :27:14. | :27:17. | |
lovely day. There is a weather front to the far north-west, and it will | :27:18. | :27:23. | |
be pushed away by a breeze from the south-east. By the afternoon, | :27:24. | :27:27. | |
temperatures not doing too badly, possibly the high teens. Out of the | :27:28. | :27:31. | |
breeze in the sunshine, very nice indeed. There is high pressure over | :27:32. | :27:35. | |
Scandinavia, so chilly winds around at high pressure, and there will be | :27:36. | :27:39. | |
a trend through the second half of the week for more chilly air to | :27:40. | :27:42. | |
arrive on our doorstep. Not desperately cold, but you will | :27:43. | :27:46. | |
notice the difference from mid week onwards, this blob of blue arriving | :27:47. | :27:50. | |
from the near continent, cooling things down. To sum up this week, a | :27:51. | :27:55. | |
lot of dry weather, that is important, a blustery wind, and a | :27:56. | :27:58. | |
trend to turn things more chilly later on. We will keep | :27:59. | :28:00. | |
an eye on Matthew as well. A reminder of our main story this | :28:01. | :28:08. | |
evening, the Chancellor has warned the UK economy is in for a | :28:09. | :28:11. | |
roller-coaster ride after the Brexit boat. | :28:12. | :28:11. | |
That's all from the BBC News At Six, so it's goodbye from me, | :28:12. | :28:15. | |
