:01:31. > :01:33.Good evening and welcome to the BBC News at Six.

:01:34. > :01:36.The UK economy is in for a roller coaster ride - as the UK

:01:37. > :01:38.negotiates its exit from the European Union -

:01:39. > :01:40.so said the Chancellor Philip Hammond as he outlined to the Tory

:01:41. > :01:43.conference his financial priorities over the coming year.

:01:44. > :01:46.He pledged spending on new homes and transport but emphasised

:01:47. > :01:50.that the deficit is still too large and will need to be tackled.

:01:51. > :01:54.Our political editor Laura Kuenssberg was watching.

:01:55. > :01:59.You probably have seen him somewhere.

:02:00. > :02:02.Philip Hammond has done some of the biggest jobs

:02:03. > :02:07.But now he's the man in charge of the country's money.

:02:08. > :02:10.Dropping in on the nearest building site has long been a political

:02:11. > :02:14.staple, but some things really have changed.

:02:15. > :02:21.As the economy waits and holds its breath

:02:22. > :02:24.after the referendum, it's Philip Hammond's time,

:02:25. > :02:32.The fiscal policies that George Osborne set out

:02:33. > :02:38.But when times change, we must change with them.

:02:39. > :02:43.So we will no longer target the surplus at the end

:02:44. > :02:47.But make no mistake, the task of fiscal

:02:48. > :02:53.In other words, he'll still try to balance the country's

:02:54. > :02:56.books but isn't promising to have it done by 2020.

:02:57. > :03:00.There'll be no splurge, spending will still be cut

:03:01. > :03:11.But this Tory Chancellor is also willing to borrow,

:03:12. > :03:16.despite his hope to get the country out of debt.

:03:17. > :03:19.Throughout the negotiating process, we are ready to take whatever steps

:03:20. > :03:23.are necessary to protect this economy from turbulence.

:03:24. > :03:26.Recognising the need for investment to build an economy that

:03:27. > :03:34.A new plan, for the new circumstances Britain faces.

:03:35. > :03:39.A Conservative government demonstrating the flexibility,

:03:40. > :03:42.the common-sense and the pragmatism that has made our party the most

:03:43. > :03:48.successful political party in British history.

:03:49. > :03:59.They don't look like big spenders or borrowers,

:04:00. > :04:11.it's only 2 billion to start with to build houses, but before

:04:12. > :04:13.the referendum, the previous Chancellor, rarely seen

:04:14. > :04:17.without his high viz jacket, would never a borrower have been.

:04:18. > :04:19.Dealing with the deficit was practically his

:04:20. > :04:23.The big campaign claim in the general election,

:04:24. > :04:25.that only the Tories would get the country out of debt.

:04:26. > :04:27.The Tories prided themselves on squeezing spending,

:04:28. > :04:29.making enemies in some quarters and fans in others.

:04:30. > :04:32.The cuts won't stop, but the new Chancellor wants

:04:33. > :04:36.the option of slowing down or even borrowing, because after our vote

:04:37. > :04:43.to leave the EU, he can't be sure what the country can afford.

:04:44. > :04:44.You and Philip Hammond and conservative Cabinet ministers

:04:45. > :04:48.That's what Labour promised at the election.

:04:49. > :04:58.He said at the start of his speech, we still have a big deficit and

:04:59. > :05:03.there is still work to do, but we need to be practical in bringing

:05:04. > :05:08.that deficit down. The previous Chancellor promised to bring

:05:09. > :05:14.infrastructure, it's just he failed to deliver. So it is a snub to

:05:15. > :05:18.George Osborne? It's different. The point is, it's highly possible that

:05:19. > :05:21.once we are clear and established about our relationship with the

:05:22. > :05:26.European Union, the economy itself will grow fast. So he inherits a

:05:27. > :05:36.particular situation, has to look at it and review it as he sees fit. If

:05:37. > :05:41.it takes a little longer, so be it. Brexit has changed to have Tory talk

:05:42. > :05:47.on the deficit, it's no longer number one. But it's not the end of

:05:48. > :05:50.the spending squeeze. But perhaps a pause for breath.

:05:51. > :05:52.So what do the Chancellor's plans mean for the economy,

:05:53. > :05:55.coming a day after Theresa May said negotiations over Britain's

:05:56. > :05:58.withdrawal from the EU will begin by next March?

:05:59. > :05:58.Here's our Economics Editor, Kamal Ahmed.

:05:59. > :06:07.The Treasury, run by Philip Hammond and Britain's holder of the purse

:06:08. > :06:09.strings. A department engaged in a delicate balancing act between

:06:10. > :06:12.borrowing to support the economy post the referendum and austerity.

:06:13. > :06:15.Balancing the books, cutting the deficit so the government doesn't

:06:16. > :06:20.spend more than it earns. The Chancellor still wants to get the

:06:21. > :06:28.deficit under control, but can't do it as fast as he was hoping, or as

:06:29. > :06:35.fast as George Osborne was hoping, because he is expecting the economy

:06:36. > :06:42.to do less well. He might spend a bit more, but even if he doesn't, we

:06:43. > :06:47.won't get that deficit down to zero. The deficit is what the country

:06:48. > :06:53.spends and what it receives in revenues from things like taxes each

:06:54. > :06:58.year. It has been the key political battle ground since the financial

:06:59. > :07:02.crisis. In 2006, seven before the financial crisis, the deficit was

:07:03. > :07:07.?36 billion. As the recession hit, tax revenues fell and spending rose

:07:08. > :07:12.and the deficit hit ?155 billion in 2009, 2010. Before the referendum it

:07:13. > :07:20.was forecast to fall to ?55 billion next year and zero by 20 20. Philip

:07:21. > :07:24.Hammond today confirmed that target has been abandoned. The government

:07:25. > :07:30.will borrow more to support the economy. We have seen a range of

:07:31. > :07:31.positive news, consumers are relatively resilient, manufacturing

:07:32. > :07:35.benefiting from the lower pound. But overall, in the medium term, we are

:07:36. > :07:41.still expecting challenges and that would mean for the Chancellor, there

:07:42. > :07:46.are likely to be less revenue coming in and more challenges to support

:07:47. > :07:50.the economy. A tweet from an old friend, wishing the new Chancellor

:07:51. > :07:57.look. It's not really look of course, the pound fell as markets

:07:58. > :08:02.planned for Britain leaving the EU. Manufacturing figures were strong.

:08:03. > :08:06.It is a delicate balancing act as the Chancellor plots his course

:08:07. > :08:09.through this most uncertain of times.

:08:10. > :08:11.Let's talk to our Political Editor Laura Kuenssberg who's at the Tory

:08:12. > :08:17.You were listening to Philip Hammond's speech, how do you

:08:18. > :08:22.interpret what he had to say and what it says about this new

:08:23. > :08:27.government's thinking? It is a departure from the days when David

:08:28. > :08:32.Cameron and George Osborne were in charge when it felt the deficit was

:08:33. > :08:37.the priority, almost to the exclusion of anything else. It is a

:08:38. > :08:42.big political departure from Matt. But it's not a promise to introduce

:08:43. > :08:48.the kind of borrowing and spending Labour have been calling for and

:08:49. > :08:56.it's not an end to the cuts. But in a sense, what it really is is Philip

:08:57. > :09:02.Hammond, with so much uncertainty around, trying to check there are

:09:03. > :09:06.airbags there and ready to go if the process of leaving the EU becomes a

:09:07. > :09:10.political and economic car crash. One of the things it tells us,

:09:11. > :09:14.although the Prime Minister is determined how government is not

:09:15. > :09:18.going to be dominated about how we waved goodbye to Brussels, big

:09:19. > :09:23.decisions are already being driven by what Brexit really means and the

:09:24. > :09:26.uncertainty it creates and maybe no more so than in the economy. Thank

:09:27. > :09:29.you very much. Autumn is closing in,

:09:30. > :09:31.the weather and the water is getting colder but still they come,

:09:34. > :09:38.the dangerous journey across the Mediterranean but they're

:09:39. > :09:40.arriving in a Europe where countries are closing their borders

:09:41. > :09:43.and where public opinion Nearly 3,500 are believed

:09:44. > :09:46.to have died this year. More than 600 children have drowned

:10:03. > :10:08.over a week. Forgive me, I am battling the sound of the ship's

:10:09. > :10:14.engine. I am in the middle of a Mediterranean and there are people

:10:15. > :10:19.on the deck behind me, over 200 people who were rescued by this ship

:10:20. > :10:24.yesterday. They are a fraction of the thousands of people that have

:10:25. > :10:30.made that perilous crossing in just the last two days, undeterred by the

:10:31. > :10:33.danger they are exposing themselves to, and by the potential reaction

:10:41. > :10:45.so the owners won't be caught. A vessel comes into view with around

:10:46. > :10:47.100 on board. There is no orange to be seen,

:10:50. > :10:51.get the small rescue They're given life jackets

:10:52. > :10:59.to make them safe. Over 300,000 people reached Europe

:11:00. > :11:03.across this sea, this year. Over 3000 have died doing so,

:11:04. > :11:12.or been reported missing. The people have been

:11:13. > :11:15.quite calm until now, but they are quite clearly getting

:11:16. > :11:17.a bit agitated and the rescuers are having to tell them to sit down,

:11:18. > :11:21.stay calm and they These people will have been

:11:22. > :11:28.travelling for several hours now, they will have left the Libyan coast

:11:29. > :11:30.in the darkness, unclear if they're ever

:11:31. > :11:33.going to reach their destination. There are smiles, relief,

:11:34. > :11:39.but no celebration. The group is entirely male

:11:40. > :11:45.and mostly from West Africa. This young man is among them,

:11:46. > :11:47.he didn't want to be identified. He's come from the Ivory Coast,

:12:12. > :12:16.us because we're not The conditions in which we find

:12:17. > :12:25.ourselves are really unfavourable. And now there is effectively

:12:26. > :12:29.a second rescue going on. There is another humanitarian

:12:30. > :12:33.mission ship over there. It's already transporting migrants,

:12:34. > :12:35.and about 100 of them are being transferred from that ship

:12:36. > :12:40.to this one. There are women this time,

:12:41. > :12:43.some of them looking shattered The majority of these

:12:44. > :12:49.people are from Somalia. One is this 16-year-old girl,

:12:50. > :12:53.escaping a forced marriage. She's been travelling for ten months

:13:30. > :13:31.can't be reused. As for their occupants,

:14:18. > :14:22.There are plenty of angry customers who don't care how they resolve

:18:55. > :18:58.I was really aware of the young privileged African men who were

:19:11. > :19:17.you feel accepted as a British director, or do you still get a

:19:18. > :19:21.question, where are you really from? It is very interesting, once I

:19:22. > :19:28.became a little bit known as a director, I was kind of claimed in

:19:29. > :19:30.many ways. I became understood as somebody who is British,

:19:31. > :19:35.particularly because I think my stories are able to express

:19:36. > :19:42.something of what it is to be bicultural.

:19:43. > :19:46.My father would not approve. The language in your film is very bold

:19:47. > :19:52.when it comes to issues around race, has that been influenced by your

:19:57. > :19:59.came to race. I remember coming home from the cinema in Streatham hill

:20:00. > :20:04.with my cinema, having bottles thrown at us. We were one of just

:20:05. > :20:07.two black families living on the streets that I lived in in

:20:08. > :20:14.Streatham, so we were very unusual in many ways, and we were reminded

:20:15. > :20:17.of that regularly. You have been recently invited to vote as part of

:20:27. > :20:32.pronged attack, we have to start changing within the industry, and

:20:33. > :20:37.when the films are presented to ask voters, we have to judge them

:20:38. > :20:41.fairly. Do you ever get those pinch me moments? Walking down the red

:20:51. > :20:56.it is every other day I am pinching myself. The stories from the past

:21:31. > :21:34.that, the detail of what happened last week, I am not too vague with

:21:35. > :21:40.that, because I genuinely was locked away.

:21:41. > :21:42.One of the two remaining hospitals in the rebel-held eastern half

:21:43. > :21:45.of the Syrian city of Aleppo has been targeted by an airstrike,

:21:46. > :21:47.according to the medical organisation that supports it.

:21:48. > :21:49.The UN Secretary General last week called the targeting

:21:50. > :21:53.The hospital has been repeatedly targeted in the last week.

:21:54. > :21:56.It is, or it was, the largest one in that part of Aleppo,

:21:57. > :21:58.where it's estimated a quarter of a million people

:21:59. > :22:01.Our Middle East correspondent Quentin Sommerville

:22:02. > :22:02.joins us now from neighbouring Lebanon.

:22:03. > :22:05.What's so concerning is not just that this is a hospital,

:22:06. > :22:14.but it's reported to have been repeatedly targeted.

:22:15. > :22:20.Yes, Fiona, undoubtedly this is a tactic being used by the Russians

:22:21. > :22:24.and the Syrians. We speak to people inside Syria, and they tell us that

:22:25. > :22:27.when the bombing started, they hid in homes. When they got bigger, they

:22:28. > :22:38.did in their basements. The Russian tactic is to bomb them when they are

:22:39. > :22:41.out in the open, helping the sick and the injured, targeting those

:22:42. > :22:44.lifelines. It is an effective and brutal tactic, and as the UN said,

:22:45. > :22:49.it is also a war crime. There have been so many war crimes in Syria you

:22:50. > :22:55.could almost be forgiven for losing count of them, but the UN has made

:22:56. > :22:58.it clear they are being noted, counted, and the people responsible

:22:59. > :23:02.will one day be brought to account. Of course, that provides very little

:23:03. > :23:06.comfort to people in Aleppo tonight, whether they are in rebel held areas

:23:07. > :23:08.or elsewhere, who are under the threat of these bombs. Quentin

:24:49. > :24:52.us laugh for 50 years. Michael Palin, his Python co-star

:24:53. > :24:54.and friend since the early 1960s, presented him with

:24:55. > :24:59.the Welsh Bafta award. For me, it was emotional,

:25:00. > :25:01.because I love the guy, you know, and we've done

:25:02. > :25:04.so much together. He's helped me

:25:05. > :25:07.out of so many scrapes, he's helped me make jokes,

:25:41. > :25:43.his ability to speak. His son Bill, clearly emotional,

:25:48. > :26:08.we are having at the moment, Well-deserved award in very

:26:09. > :26:10.difficult circumstances. Right, let's take a look at the weather,

:26:11. > :26:20.John Hammond is here. All very quiet back on, but over in

:26:21. > :26:24.the Caribbean this is the beast that is Hurricane Matthew, you can see

:26:25. > :26:31.the art of the storm as it moves northwards, but the winds circling

:26:32. > :26:35.around the eye, still well over 100 mph, crashing into Haiti, a glancing

:26:36. > :26:43.blow for Jamaica, Eastern Cuba, ending up in the Bihar -- Bahamas.

:26:44. > :26:50.We will keep a close eye on it, I can assure you. I come, very quiet,

:26:51. > :26:55.a delightful scene earlier on, and most of us enjoyed sparkling autumn

:26:56. > :26:58.sunshine. A bit of low cloud forming overnight in some eastern areas, in

:26:59. > :27:02.particular the high ground, and on low ground a few fog patches, but

:27:03. > :27:06.nothing too widespread. Some of us had a frost this morning,

:27:07. > :27:13.temperatures not as low tonight, but well down into single figures in

:27:14. > :27:17.rural spots. Any low cloud and mist will tend to break up, and other

:27:18. > :27:23.lovely day. There is a weather front to the far north-west, and it will

:27:24. > :27:27.be pushed away by a breeze from the south-east. By the afternoon,

:27:28. > :27:31.temperatures not doing too badly, possibly the high teens. Out of the

:27:32. > :27:35.breeze in the sunshine, very nice indeed. There is high pressure over

:27:36. > :27:39.Scandinavia, so chilly winds around at high pressure, and there will be

:27:40. > :27:42.a trend through the second half of the week for more chilly air to

:27:43. > :27:46.arrive on our doorstep. Not desperately cold, but you will

:27:47. > :27:50.notice the difference from mid week onwards, this blob of blue arriving

:27:51. > :27:55.from the near continent, cooling things down. To sum up this week, a

:27:56. > :27:58.lot of dry weather, that is important, a blustery wind, and a

:27:59. > :28:00.trend to turn things more chilly later on. We will keep

:28:01. > :28:08.an eye on Matthew as well. A reminder of our main story this
