Tonight, thank god its them instead of you. Live aid lives on. One of the most famous concerts of all time is being turned into a musical. Live aid the musical happened 40 years live aid the musical happened 40 years ago. Live aid the musical happened 40 years ago, it was at wembley, you know a cloudy day four wales, when developing later, some and blustery showers for scotland and Northern Ireland. All the details later in the programme. Good morning. Its monday the 2nd of october. Our main story Health Leaders are warning of extreme disruption to services in england, as doctors begin their most significant Industrial Action so far. The three day walk out is the longestjoint strike byJunior Doctors and consultants in the history of the health service. Theyre arguing for above Inflation Pay rises, but the government says this years increases are fair and final. Our Health Correspondent Sophie Hutchinson has more. Full pay restoration doctors of all levels on the picket lines. But todays three day walk out marks a clear escalation in this pay dispute, a signal that neither consultants norJunior Doctors are ready to back down. The doctors� strike runs from 7am today and finishes at 7am on thursday morning. As on christmas day, only emergency and basic care will be provided. Routine services will be severely disrupted, according to nhs england. Im used to the pain. Sometimes its worse than others. Rosie mitchell knows just how frustrating it is to have an appointment cancelled. She has waited two years for a full Shoulder Replacement and had surgery delayed because of a doctors� strike. Well, its depressing. It affects every part of your life because, because youre in pain and because you cant sleep properly and you dont know whats coming up. And also, its on your mind because nobody wants a major operation. I just want to get it out of the way and start to get back to some kind of my normal life. So far, nhs strikes have led to more than a million cancelled operations and there have been warnings of risks to patients. Doctors have apologised but say they wont stop the action until they are given above Inflation Pay rises. Starting from a position where theres risk every day for patients in the nhs because theyre waiting far too long on Waiting Lists, Emergency Care is delayed with the delays we see in Hospital Handovers and ambulances being delayed getting to patients and that actually leads to harm every day in the nhs. What were trying to do here is to force the government to address the Workforce Crisis that would allow us to actually reduce that harm long term. But the government says this years rises of 6 for consultants and almost 9 forJunior Doctors are final. Its more than 100 days since the sides spoke to each other, and despite the risks to nhs patients, theres no sign of an end to this dispute. Sophie hutchinson, bbc news. We will be talking about the impact of that throughout the programme. Water companies in england say theyre planning to almost double spending on infrastructure by 2030 to cut leaks, reduce sewage discharge, and Build Reservoirs but the cost would be passed on to customers. Theyve submitted proposals to the regulator worth £96 billion, which would see the average bill rising by more than £150 by 2030. Heres our environment correspondentjonah fisher. We will run out of water not within the next 50 years, but within the next 5 10, if we do nothing. East anglia is the driest part of the uk, and making sure theres enough water for everyone is a recurring headache for the local Water Company. Climate change is the biggest challenge we face as a company. This is part of the solution. Put my plate down the back, yeah . A huge Pipeline Project costing more than half a billion pounds. It will transport water from the wettest to the driest areas, and eventually stretch more than 180 miles. Its taking water from north lincolnshire, where we know we have more rain, bringing it down to norfolk, suffolk, and essex, where we have a lot less. Theres widespread agreement that, after years of under investment, our water and sewage infrastructure just isnt up to the job. Its going to take billions of pounds and big projects like this one to fix it. And the bad news is that its you and i, through our bills, whos going to have to pay for it. Today, the Water Companies put a price on it, telling the regulator they want to spend £96 billion from 2025 to 2030. They say it will be used to build new reservoirs, plug leaky pipes, and reduce the flow of raw sewage into our waterways. Well be challenging and scrutinising Company Plans to show that costs are efficient and to ensure that they are good value for money and that companies are able to deliver on their promises to clean up rivers and seas. The Water Companies say the extra cost for the average bill payer will be £84 a year in 2025, rising to more than £150 extra by 2030. What would you say to someone at home who says, why should i pay . The Water Company have taken dividends, profits, it should be up to them. So the balance that this plan needs to make is that between being ambitious for the region and being affordable for customers, the investment is paid for upfront by our by our shareholders, our capital investment. And that is then reclaimed through Customer Bills over the lifetime of an asset, and that is the regulatory model we operate in. The regulator now has a year to decide whether these plans and price rises will get the go ahead. Jonah fisher, bbc news. Pupils from two schools involved in a fatal bus crash in merseyside will be offered support as they return to class this morning. 15 year old Jessica Baker died when the vehicle, carrying students from west Kirby Grammar School and Calday Grange Grammar School, overturned on the m53 in wirral on friday. The driver 40 year old Stephen Shrimpton also died in the crash. A 31 year old man is due to appear in court today charged with a public order offence, after reports an image of young cancer patient Bradley Lowery was used to Taunt Opposition football fans. The alleged incident happened at sheffield wednesdays home game on friday against sunderland, the team six year old bradley supported before he died of cancer in 2017. Peak time railfares have been scrapped on Scotrail Services from today as part of a six month pilot scheme. The cost of a rush hour ticket between glasgow and edinburgh has almost halved, in efforts to boost rail travel. The operator has warned customers that trains may be busier than usual. Donald trump says he plans to appear in court in new york today, for the opening of a trial where hes accused of a years long scheme to inflate the value of real estate and financial assets. The former us president said he was going to fight for his name and reputation. The chancellor will announce an increase in the National Living wage. Hell also tell the conservative Party Conference that he intends to toughen sanctions for people on benefits who dont take steps to find work. 0ur Political Correspondent ione wells has this report. Should the government be cutting taxes ahead of the election . Are you disappointed this could be the end of hsz . Questions still following ministers everywhere they go. Will the conservatives cut taxes . Will they scrap the Hs2 Railway Leg to manchester . Today, its the chancellors turn to try and move the agenda on. Good morning. His pitch confirming ministers will accept an independent recommendation to increase the National Living wage to at least £11. Not a Surprise Ministers almost always do. Hes also saying he will announce tougher punishments for people on benefits who dont take steps to find work. Though more detail wont come until the autumn. Butjeremy hunt will hope talk of incentivising people back to work will distract from other issues dominating this conference, like whether hell lower taxes, something ministers have said isnt on the table just yet. Theres a reason that taxes are high, and thats because the economy is slow. Were spending an enormous amount on debt interest, and actually, we increase public spending a fair bit. If there are any tax cuts before the election, almost certainly, id say absolutely certainly, they will be reversed and more than reversed after the election. Last year, rishi sunak was far away from tory conference after losing to liz truss and her major tax cutting agenda. Today, shes back, and so are her ideas from last year. Shell use a speech to call on the government to cut tax for businesses, build more houses, and bring back fracking. Rishi sunak� s allies would argue hes already won the argument with liz truss to prioritise Cutting Inflation over tax cuts right now. These familiar arguments and disagreements of theirs could mean todays Conference Centre may well feel a sense of deja vu. Ione wells, bbc news, manchester. We can get more on this now from our chief Political Correspondent Henry Zeffman whos at the conservative Party Conference. Henry, what more do we know about the announcements due to be made today . Good morning. Today is all about the economy at the conservative Party Conference, and the economy is a pretty thorny issue for the conservative party at the moment. That is the thing that rishi sunak and jeremy hunt are determined to fix so that they might have a chance of winning the election of that we are expecting next year. Sojeremy hunt of the chancellor will be giving a speech this afternoon in which we are expecting two key announcements. 0ne which we are expecting two key announcements. One is to do with the National Living wage, effectively the minimum wage, which most people are paid. He says the government will accept the independent advisors� recommendation for it to grow up to at least £11 an hour from next year. That is some ligament always does, they always accept those recommendations, but nevertheless, still a significant moment, because that is a big increase. Secondly, he will be talking about the Sanctions Regime for those who dont do enough, in the governments eyes, to seek work and toughening up on that later this year. I should so that shortly before jeremy year. I should so that shortly Beforejeremy Hunt year. I should so that shortly before jeremy hunt speaks, year. I should so that shortly Beforejeremy Hunt speaks, we will Beforejeremy Hunt speaks, we will be hearing on the fringes of the conference from the woman who actually made him chancellor, liz truss. She is kind of the ghost of this event, because last year, she was the choice of conservative activists over rishi sunak to be Prime Minister, and she will be arguing for tax cuts, but she well knows Thatjeremy Hunt will not be offering those in his speech. fix, lat offering those in his speech. A lot offering those in his speech. A lot of changes offering those in his speech. A lot of changes in offering those in his speech. A lot of changes in a offering those in his speech. A lot of changes in a year. Offering those in his speech. A lot of changes in a year. And offering those in his speech. A lot of changes in a year. And we will also hear about some guidance on mobile phone issues in schools. Yes. Mobile phone issues in schools. Yes, a story breaking mobile phone issues in schools. 1913 a story breaking overnight. The Department For Education will be releasing shortly, we are told, new rules for schools, where they say they want pupils to be able to bring their Mobile Phones to school, to help them with the journey to and from school, but not use them during the school day. When i say those are new rules, what we dont think they are going to be as new laws compelling schools, it will be guidance from the government basically suggesting best practice for schools, so one concern here i think might be, is that actually necessary . From the sound of things, in a lot of things, that already is in a lot of things, that already is in place. The Department For Education last year concluded it did not need to produce new rules because so many schools are doing this anyway. But clearly something has changed and we will hear more than that from the Education Secretary i am sure. Than that from the Education Secretary i am sure. Henry, thank ou ve secretary i am sure. Henry, thank you very much secretary i am sure. Henry, thank you very much. Good secretary i am sure. Henry, thank you very much. Good luck secretary i am sure. Henry, thank you very much. Good luck today. | secretary i am sure. Henry, thank| you very much. Good luck today. A long three days for henry and the team that there just down the road. The time now is 6. 14. If you havent watched last nights strictly come dancing yet, heres a Spoiler Warning les dennis was the first to be voted out of this years competition. The actors samba with partner nancy xu failed to get him through the first round of eliminations. Such a shame somebody has to leave. I thought he would be in it for ages. He was great fun. He will be remembered. Now he can enjoy the rest of the series like the rest of us. They still stay involved, and may be without the stress of being voted on a Saturday Night. Heres carol with the weather. A foggy start for some of us, especially in the south west of england, where the fog is quite dense. Some pockets of fog and mist elsewhere as well, so bear that in mind if you are travelling. Another thing worth mentioning is the difference in temperatures. At the moment in exeter, the temperatures 17 celsius, whereas in aboyne in aberdeenshire it is hovering between three and four, so in essence this morning, mild and murky in the south, clearer and cooler in the north. A couple of Weather Fronts across southern areas, some drizzle coming out of this cloud across ireland and wales, else across Northern England. Blustery showers continue through the day on and off across northern and Western Scotland and Northern Ireland. We could see one or two getting into Eastern Scotland and Northern England later on, but the rain developing more widely through the day across england and wales. Some of that will be heavy and also thundery. Temperatures 13 in lerwick took 22 in london. Yesterday we gotjust over 24 celsius. Through the evening and overnight, all the rain across england and wales moves over towards the north sea, and a lot of it will clear. We hang on to the showers across the north and also the west, and the wind will start to pick up across Northern Areas as well. Feeling fresher in the south tonight compared to what we currently have. Any dregs of this Weather Front Clearing away through the course of tomorrow, then we are in more of a west and north westerly flow, more showers coming in from the west, some of them getting over towards the east, as we go through because of the day. It will also be windy, particularly across the northern half of the country. These are attempts, 12 in the north to about 19 in the south. Not feeling as humid in the south as it has done for the last few days. Carol, thank you. Lets have a look at todays papers. The times leads with health strikes, reporting that hospitals are facing steep bills to pay for cover whilst doctors are on the picket line. The paper says one medic received almost £8,000 for a cover shift. The daily mirror unveils a number of high profile Celebrity Backers for its Campaign Calling for Free School Meals for every Primary School child. 0livia coleman, kate winslet, and brian cox are among those supporting it. And the Daily Express leads on a preview of Chancellorjeremy Hunts tory conference speech, in which he says he wants to incentivise work over claiming benefits, as well as raise the National Living wage next year.
