:14:44. > :14:48.on the ability of police in England and Wales to mobilise and mass if
:14:49. > :14:54.there is a Paris style attack. A former Labour Home Secretary had

:14:59. > :15:04.leak, I would use that to be on the phone to Number 10 and number 11 and
:15:05. > :15:08.say it is quite clear that if there are any further cuts to the police,
:15:09. > :15:11.we will do further damage to our intelligence gathering, and that is
:15:12. > :15:18.crucial to the counterterrorist fight. The Home Office budget is not
:15:19. > :15:21.protected. One police and crime commission said forces responding to
:15:22. > :15:27.a terror attack outside London would be overwhelmed. The very first
:15:28. > :15:31.police who turn up would be shot down, including the armed response
:15:32. > :15:36.unit is full but they are completely outgunned with people with automatic
:15:37. > :15:40.weapons. Theresa May and George Osborne are still haggling over the
:15:41. > :15:44.Home Office budget. Ministers insist the deficit must be tackled but
:15:45. > :15:52.stressed the counterterrorism budget has again been protected. It is how
:15:53. > :15:56.you spend the money which is important as the actual amount of
:15:57. > :16:00.money. There will be more cuts. We know what public finances are like.
:16:01. > :16:05.It is ever more important map police find ways to be more efficient, as
:16:06. > :16:09.they have done in the past. Others say the terror threat should not
:16:10. > :16:15.affect the argument about police numbers. The current service, it is
:16:16. > :16:18.a ?17 billion operation and 200,000 staff. The idea that that kind of
:16:19. > :16:28.operation cannot mobilise to tackle a major terrorist threat does not
:16:29. > :16:30.strike me as very plausible. Maintaining security and reassuring

:22:54. > :22:56.Let's speak to our correspondent Daniel Boettcher.
:22:57. > :23:07.What happened in court? 28-year-old Stephen Beadman appeared here in
:23:08. > :23:12.court this morning, for a very short hearing, lasting just a few minutes,
:23:13. > :23:16.he was wearing a grey sweatshirt and grey tracksuit trousers. He was
:23:17. > :23:21.asked to confirm his name and date of birth, and his address. He was
:23:22. > :23:27.told that he is charged with the murder and rape of Kayleigh Haywood.
:23:28. > :23:30.15-year-old Kayleigh Haywood was last seen at around six o'clock last
:23:31. > :23:36.Friday evening, just under a week ago, after she was dropped off
:23:37. > :23:39.outside Ibstock community college. There followed extensive police
:23:40. > :23:43.searches in a number of different areas and then late on Wednesday
:23:44. > :23:48.evening, five days after she had gone missing, body was found near a
:23:49. > :23:55.lake the Anfield is at the edge of the village of Ibstock. -- BR and a
:23:56. > :23:59.field. Luke Harlow also appeared in court, is charged with one count of
:24:00. > :24:03.grooming and two counts of sexual activity with a child. Both men were
:24:04. > :24:07.remanded in custody and will next appear at Leicester Crown Court on
:24:08. > :24:10.the 18th of December. Daniel, thanks for joining us.
:24:11. > :24:13.Public sector borrowing rose by just over ?1 billion last month -
:24:14. > :24:15.it's the worst October figure for six years.
:24:16. > :24:20.It will put added pressure on the Chancellor George Osborne
:24:21. > :24:23.who's due to give his mini-budget Autumn Statement next week.
:24:24. > :24:25.Well, with me is Hugh Pym, our health editor.
:24:26. > :24:28.Hugh, we'll talk in a moment more widely about that Autumn Statement,
:24:29. > :24:30.but first our economics correspondent Andy Verity.
:24:31. > :24:32.Despite the Treasury's efforts, borrowing is still up -
:24:33. > :24:41.That's right. The borrowing they do is to plug the gap between the
:24:42. > :24:44.income and the 1 hand and their spending on the other, and part of
:24:45. > :24:48.the problem in October, they did not get the income they needed from tax
:24:49. > :24:53.receipts, the other problem spending is going up. The Treasury would say,
:24:54. > :24:57.if you look at the numbers of one month, you cannot draw any grey
:24:58. > :25:03.conclusions, but if you look at the financial year to date from April,
:25:04. > :25:08.which is the more reliable number, the overspend is coming down, but
:25:09. > :25:11.only by a bit, about ?6 billion, and that is not fast enough to meet the
:25:12. > :25:17.targets that the Chancellor has set himself. Why is that happening?
:25:18. > :25:20.Because the spending has not been coming down, like he hoped. We are
:25:21. > :25:24.getting tax receipts over the financial year, but the spending is
:25:25. > :25:27.not falling as he hoped that is partly because of what the
:25:28. > :25:32.government has done, it has ring-fenced the schools budget, the
:25:33. > :25:37.health budget, and it is raising the basic state pension by at least 2.5%
:25:38. > :25:41.each year even when inflation is negative, so it is increasing and
:25:42. > :25:44.expanding its spending in areas like pensions and health and that is why
:25:45. > :25:45.the numbers are not going the way they want.
:25:46. > :25:49.Hugh, health itself is under great strain?
:25:50. > :25:54.Even with a ring-fenced budget, the NHS is under immense strain, we have
:25:55. > :25:59.had figures this morning demonstrating that. This is from
:26:00. > :26:04.hospital trusts and Ambulance Services, saying they racked up a
:26:05. > :26:08.deficit of ?1.6 billion for the first six months of the year, that
:26:09. > :26:12.is more than the deficit, the overspend, for the whole of the
:26:13. > :26:16.previous year. No .8 billion. There will be even more pressure on the
:26:17. > :26:21.Chancellor to come up with even more money for the issue, and looking
:26:22. > :26:24.further ahead up to 2020, the government commitment to provide ?8
:26:25. > :26:29.billion in real terms more by that year annually. In the spending
:26:30. > :26:34.review it seems the Chancellor will restate the commitment, but that
:26:35. > :26:36.will be for the NHS England, the dominant health organisation, and
:26:37. > :26:40.other areas of health spending might be cut, there is pressure for the
:26:41. > :26:47.Treasury to find cuts in the local health budgets, for smoking clinics,
:26:48. > :26:50.prevention, and so on, and also health education, possibly involving
:26:51. > :26:57.nurses who get their Jewish and paid for by the government, possibly
:26:58. > :27:01.having to take out loan stash you get there Jewish and paid for. The
:27:02. > :27:02.haggling might go on for a couple more days before next week's
:27:03. > :27:09.excitement. Many thanks. England's rugby union team has
:27:10. > :27:12.appointed its first foreign coach. The Australian Eddie Jones -
:27:13. > :27:14.who coached Japan at the World Cup He replaces Stuart Lancaster,
:27:15. > :27:18.whose three-and-a-half-year tenure ended after England's failed
:27:19. > :27:19.World Cup campaign. Our sports correspondent Joe Wilson
:27:20. > :27:30.reports. England, the world's oldest, richest
:27:31. > :27:35.rugby nation, more money, clubs and players than anywhere, and now under
:27:36. > :27:39.foreign leadership. In Eddie Jones they have appointed rugby's man of
:27:40. > :27:42.the world, the coach who lost the World Cup final with Australia, who
:27:43. > :27:46.helped South Africa to win it for years later, ups and downs after
:27:47. > :27:52.that, until he arrived at the World Cup this year with Japan. Somehow he
:27:53. > :27:58.told them how to bait South Africa. COMMENTATOR: They are going to score
:27:59. > :28:05.extra macro now at 55, ease with England. This is a very excited
:28:06. > :28:09.opportunity, a hugely talented team and they have won two of the last
:28:10. > :28:12.three under 21 cups and they have great talent. For me, this is a
:28:13. > :28:17.great opportunity to catch these players. Two years ago he suffered a
:28:18. > :28:20.stroke, he is famed for his intensity and dedication to detail,
:28:21. > :28:26.by those who have been coached by him. He would be looking at many
:28:27. > :28:31.different sports and teams and making sure whatever team he is in
:28:32. > :28:36.charge of is at the forefront of what ever teams are doing around the
:28:37. > :28:41.world in every area. The new man will shake things up, recently Eddie
:28:42. > :28:44.Jones described European rugby as dour, but after the failure of the
:28:45. > :28:49.World Cup, what does it say about English rugby that they trust him
:28:50. > :28:53.instead of a home-grown coach? I think there are great coaches
:28:54. > :28:59.working in the premiership, undoubtably, but you go back rightly
:29:00. > :29:02.to the criteria, and international experience and successful
:29:03. > :29:07.international experience at the level Eddie has got is what we were
:29:08. > :29:11.looking for. In theory, you will lead England to the 2019 World Cup,
:29:12. > :29:19.but in the modern way, English rugby is rebuilding, with imported steel.
:29:20. > :29:25.And now we can have a look at the weather.
:29:26. > :29:34.The article has arrived, we are getting reports of snow and ice in
:29:35. > :29:37.Scotland. -- the Arctic air. Very slippery, that could cause some
:29:38. > :29:42.issues, and following that, frost and ice, but we think the wind will
:29:43. > :29:46.cause most issues as we go through the next 24 hours. The showers are
:29:47. > :29:51.turning to snow and it feels cold out there, some sunshine of course,
:29:52. > :29:55.but the showers will turn progressively more to snow, Northern
:29:56. > :29:59.Ireland and down to Wales. The temperatures will drop away, and
:30:00. > :30:02.with that added wind which is already picking up across the North,
:30:03. > :30:11.and we will see gales blowing across many areas, even inland, blowing
:30:12. > :30:16.snow around. Gusts of wind, 50 mph. Irish Sea coasts and North Sea
:30:17. > :30:21.coast, potentially 70 mph. Looking at the band of snow, to relatively
:30:22. > :30:25.low levels across Scotland, 5-10 centimetres over many hills, and
:30:26. > :30:30.temporarily blizzard like conditions. This could also affect
:30:31. > :30:33.the rush-hour in Northern Ireland and through the night over northern
:30:34. > :30:39.England and Wales, as the bands of wintry weather go south.
:30:40. > :30:45.Nevertheless, probably not at such low levels, the Chilterns might see
:30:46. > :30:49.a dusting of snow, and those winds a real issue and they could bring down
:30:50. > :30:53.trees, and the temperatures are falling low enough away frost. Ice
:30:54. > :30:58.will add into the hazards, if you are travelling. An unusual
:30:59. > :31:03.direction, the northerly, so watch out for that, it cold calls minor
:31:04. > :31:10.structural damage. -- it could cause. The wintry mix in the south
:31:11. > :31:14.and east, but then it blows away, and most of the showers will fall in
:31:15. > :31:19.western and eastern coastal areas, and many of us will actually have a
:31:20. > :31:22.decent day, just very cold. The coldest of the season by a long
:31:23. > :31:26.straw, and it feels colder still because of the strength of the wind
:31:27. > :31:30.which will ease in the afternoon, and that will continue to Saturday
:31:31. > :31:35.evening and overnight. Still northerly, the next weather system
:31:36. > :31:38.approaches, and there will be more of a risk of rain and slay,
:31:39. > :31:43.especially over the hills, and a frosty start on Sunday morning, but
:31:44. > :31:47.it means again many will escape the showers away from the coast and have
:31:48. > :31:53.a fairly decent day. The wind is not as strong, that is some consolation,
:31:54. > :31:55.but there is some more details on the website.
:31:56. > :32:00.Now a reminder of our top story this lunchtime.
:32:01. > :32:06.Gunmen have attacked the lecturing hotel in Mali, 170 people were taken
:32:07. > :32:19.hostage, reports have said three people were killed -- and attacked a
:32:20. > :32:20.luxury hotel. 80 hostages have been freed. There were 12 aircrew from
