but iyou've got it on a trajectory, it's gone up and it's then going to go down. well. hang on. just let's just explain exactly what happened. so in that 2020 budget, when rishi sunak was chancellor, it was the biggest ever increase. now, i then had to balance the books a year ago. it was an incredibly difficult situation, but it was necessary for the markets and it was necessary for the battle against inflation. so what i chose to do was to freeze that capital budget in cash terms, which is not a freeze in real terms. i hope as soon as we can afford to, we can get back to real terms growth. but i'm absolutely committed to public investment. in a speech coming up shortly, the labour leader sir keir starmer is expected to say his party will have an "obsession" with economic growth to raise living standards. he will also say that labour won't be able to turn on the spending taps if it wins the next election. we'll bring that speech to you live here on bbc news. the gaza—run health ministry says more than 15,500 people have been killed in israel's offensive, including about 6,000 children. a warning that you may find some of these images distressing. a strong bond between father and child, soon broken by the horrors of war. this 13—year—old season's final goodbyes to his mum and dad. they were killed in an air strike in southern gaza. ——13—year—old saying final goodbye. translation: when they bombed our house i felt lonely and without a family. omar family. 0marand family. omar and his five siblings are now orphans. their uncle, who has been displeased with his family, is now their only caretaker. translation: now my family _ their only caretaker. translation: now my family got _ their only caretaker. translation: now my family got bigger. - their only caretaker. translation: now my family got bigger. these i now my family got bigger. these children need to live with me. it is challenging with expenses. they are all little. the youngest is one—year—old, the eldest of 16. omar and his siblings are just some of the children orphaned by war in gaza. dr coc there is a rise in numbers, unicef says it is difficult to organise and care for them. —— doctors say there is a rise in the numbers. doctors say there is a rise in the numbers-_ doctors say there is a rise in the numbers. ~ ,, ~ , , numbers. translation: i wish they were still alive _ numbers. translation: i wish they were still alive and _ numbers. translation: i wish they were still alive and we _ numbers. translation: i wish they were still alive and we could - numbers. translation: i wish they were still alive and we could be - numbers. translation: i wish they were still alive and we could be one | were still alive and we could be one family again. the ban on xl bullies could lead to more dog attacks, a senior vet has told the bbc. dave martin, a welfare advisor to 900 practices in the uk, said attacks in the home could increase if the ban leads to more xls being kept indoors without stimulation and exercise. jordan davies reports. hey, birdy, hey, birdy. xl bullies like william are living on borrowed time. from next february, it'll be illegal to own a dog like william without a special certificate. even then, they'll have to be muzzled and walked on a lead in public. gailjones, from caerphilly in south wales, knows how dangerous some of these dogs can be. i think that was the last photograph i had done with her. her mother, 83—year—old shirley patrick, was attacked by an xl bully cross that was brought into her home the night before. they woke her up out of the coma and she told me she loved me. i told her the same back. she closed her eyes. that was the last word she said. two days later, she died. gail believes the ban doesn't go far enough and says all large breeds should be muzzled and on a lead in public. i can't let her die for nothing, no. i don't want this happening to anybody else. xl bullies are the fifth breed to be added to the dangerous dogs list. but how many are out there? the wales investigates programme has been looking into the figures. one of the largest vet groups in the uk, with around a sixth of the market, says it has nearly 5,500 xl bullies on its books. if other vet practices have similar numbers, that could mean around 30,000 xl bullies, or three times the uk government estimate. let's have a look at you. dave martin at one of the 900 vet practices he advises. he's concerned about the potential unforeseen consequences of the ban. we know that a lot of serious and fatal attacks have occurred in the house. my worry is that if we end up frustrating these dogs and they're not getting the exercise they need and hence, potentially, therefore, will we see fatal attacks occurring? some dogs may be more more likely to attack than than they were beforehand. we don't know, is the simple answer to that, but it is a concern. and could dogs like this be the next xl bully? jayne shenstone has worked with these breeds for 30 years. my big concern is with the ban on the xl bullies — that people are going to turn their attention particularly to other large breeds like the central asian or the caucasian. we've spoken to a breeder who used to breed xl bullies and has now moved on to the caucasian shepherd dog. what do you think of that? oh, i think it's a very dangerous, dangerous thing to be doing this. far more dangerous than the situation we've got with the xl bullies. the uk government says it's taken quick and decisive action to protect the public with the ban. it also says it's enforcing current laws to control dogs and they have set up a task force on responsible dog ownership. but there's concern about whether this ban will prevent attacks, especially in homes, and that the next xl bully may be just around the corner. you can see more on that story on bbc wales investigates: dogs on death row ? will the bully ban work? tonight at 8pm on bbc one wales, and on iplayer. the dramatic moment the historic cooling towers at fiddlers ferry in merseyside were demolished has drawn quite a crowd — unfortunately heavy fog meant spectators didn't get to see a thing. people gathered in the surrounding fields, and more than 1,500 tuned in to a live stream event — but only got to hear loud bangs, as phil cunlffe reports. two, one... icons of the coal age... ..fire now. ..they�*ve been part of the landscape since 1971. each weighing 100,000 tonnes, it tookjust seconds to bring them crashing down. six months of planning complete, 12,000 holes drilled and filled with high explosives. hundreds had braced the cold to watch on from behind the cordon. the forecast had been promising — but, come the day, this was the view for many. explosion. at least we got to hear the explosions — through the freezing fog. we heard the rumbling, so we know — we know it definitely happened but we couldn't see anything! it was very loud, but it was a great experience. it was nice to be part of it - and to hearthe big, big bang. my brother used to play football outside the towers every saturday morning, and lots of people who we knew, you know, worked there. so, yeah, it's a big change. so the last formal demolition i saw was 1973 — fred dibnah and a chimney somewhere in bolton. so that was more impressive than this — it lasted longer. the four remaining cooling towers will be blown down at a later date — but who'll get to push the button? people have had a bit of an affinity with fiddlers ferry, you know, so it'll be good to have perhaps a resident or someone local to do that for the next project. the day was a triumph for the o'connorfamily. dad peter oversaw the demolition, his sons grateful that things went well after an intense week. how will he feel now, do you think, that it's all over? happy! or... er...proud! er... flabbergasted! phil cunliffe, bbc news. the oxford word of the year for 2023 has been revealed — and this year it's "rizz". if you have no idea what that means — don't worry, you mightjust be over 30. according to the oxford university press, which publishes the oxford english dictionary, "rizz" is internet slang mainly used by gen z—ers, and is defined as style, charm, or attractiveness, and the ability to attract a romantic or sexual partner. it topped a shortlist of eight words, which also included, "beige flag" — a character trait that indicates that a partner or potential partner is boring or lacks originality, "situationship" — romantic or sexual relationship that is not considered to be formal or established, and "swiftie" — an enthusiastic fan of a certain american pop star. now it's time for a look at the weather with simon king. hello again. we've seen some further wintry conditions throughout monday morning. some snow, of course, still firmly on the ground in cumbria at the moment with that wintry scene, although we have seen rain starting to fall here over the last few hours over the higher ground. so the possibility of some snow. but this is the temperature anomaly. this is telling us where it's colder or warmer than average. and as you can see that over the last few days widely across europe, it's been much colder than average. but look at these oranges. temperatures will start to rise as we go through this week, but it'll be a gradual process. for the rest of today we've got this area of low pressure continuing to move its way eastward, bringing pretty wet conditions across many parts of england and wales. still a bit of snow over the higher ground as we go through tonight, perhaps north wales as well. it stays cloudy with that rain continuing at times for many parts of england and wales, scotland and northern ireland though drier and clearer where there be a frost tonight, especially where we've got the snow cover in the northeast of scotland, but a bit less cold for england and wales. quite drizzly and wet at times, though. on tuesday morning across england and wales that rain gradually moving away to the east. a lovely day expected for scotland and northern ireland. lots of blue skies and sunshine here. it's still going to feel cold, though. temperatures about three or four degrees celsius are not particularly warm either really for england and wales because the cloud, the drizzle, at times temperatures about five or six degrees. but through the evening on tuesday, we'll have some clear skies. and that means actually as we go into wednesday morning, there will be another widespread frost. temperatures could be as low as minus ten, —12 degrees. and the snow covers in the north east of scotland. it starts off bright, though, for many of us on wednesday. some patches of mist and fog across southern areas. we keep a lot of sunshine into the afternoon. the cloud, though, and a bit of rain will start to move its way into the isles of scilly, west cornwall, late in the day. signs here of something a bit milder, temperatures in double figures. but for many of us, wednesday again is going to be a cold day, perhaps the last those cold feeling days, because as we go through the second half of the week, low pressure systems move their way in from the atlantic, bringing some wet and windy weather at times. but with that will also bring in some less cold, milder air as well. live from london, this is bbc news. we're going to be live in central london shortly for a speech by the labour leader, sir keir starmer. he is set to argue that "growth must become labour's obsession" if it wins the next general election. sir keir will be speaking at a conference organised by the think tank resolution foundation. he will say that those expecting an incoming labour government to "quickly turn on the spending taps" will be "disappointed". live now to our political correspondent harry farley one. i correspondent harry farley one. have mentioned s is i have mentioned similar things he is expected to say. what else is in the speech we know?— is expected to say. what else is in the speech we know? what we know is it will be about _ the speech we know? what we know is it will be about expectation _ it will be about expectation management. labour officials are conscious that if labour were to win the election next, that we are expected next, the economic conditions in uk faces, the outlook won't suddenly change. there would be a rapid change in those forecasts. what they are trained to do with this speech is to
