figs what does it tell us right now about the state of the us economy? as you said, we the state of the us economy? as you said. we are — the state of the us economy? as you said, we are seeing _ the state of the us economy? as you said, we are seeing headline - said, we are seeing headline inflation down half a percentage point in october year over year, compared to september, and we're also looking at core inflation, that strips out volatile energy and fuel prices. we saw that coming at a 4% reading for the one—year mark, also down slightly from september. we zoom in on the monthly data we are seeing this inflation in a few different areas, one of them housing and another is air fares and another used car sales. month—to—month, the biggest drop was always on energy. it came down 2.5% and slowing, because we had seen prices rising. a lot of this comes back to a question that you and i talk about frequently on this programme, about what it all means the fed in its effort to combat inflation using its primary tool of rising interest rates. the expectation is, come the next meeting in september, the plan is to keep interest rates steady. we don't like this doesn't change the expectation. i like this doesn't change the expectation.— like this doesn't change the exectation. ., ., expectation. i wonder what the reaction has — expectation. i wonder what the reaction has been _ expectation. i wonder what the reaction has been across - expectation. i wonder what the reaction has been across the i reaction has been across the economy, as far as investors are concerned. all eyes are on what the central bank does but we know they don't move in lockstep. there is a lag. whatever the central bank does takes time to filter through to the real economy. takes time to filter through to the real economy-— takes time to filter through to the real economy. absolutely. it did not take time for— real economy. absolutely. it did not take time for this _ real economy. absolutely. it did not take time for this news _ real economy. absolutely. it did not take time for this news to _ real economy. absolutely. it did not take time for this news to filter - take time for this news to filter through the markets. we saw stock futures jump on the news. through the markets. we saw stock futuresjump on the news. we through the markets. we saw stock futures jump on the news. we saw that momentum sustained the snp up about 2% right now since the morning stop we are also seeing president biden in washington cheering the news. reaction all the way from wall street to washington. he cheered progress on inflation and he also chaired a strong job market. as you know, we have seen strong job numbers and employment —— make and implement under 4% for 20 straight months. president biden is loudly cheering this news from the white house but it remains to be seen whether that will translate to voter attitudes, come the november election. �* , ., attitudes, come the november election. �* ., ., ,, ., election. always good to talk to ou, election. always good to talk to you. thank _ election. always good to talk to you. thank yon _ here in the uk, wages have risen faster than inflation by the most for two years, but there are signs the jobs market is starting to weaken. regular pay rose at an annual rate of 7.7% betweenjuly and september, faster than price rises over the same period. however, official figures showed that wage rises are starting to slow in some industries. a little earlier i spoke to our cost—of—living correspondent kevin peachey who explained why rising wages won't have an immediate effect on consumers�* ability to meet their price challenges. as we have been hearing a bit earlier, in the us there is pressure on people's finances. it has certainly been the case in europe and the uk, too. if we look at this chart, we can see that there may be a bit of easing of that pressure coming, even though still quite a lot of pressure there. that is because these wages are rising, the blue line here, at a faster rate than prices. that has certainly not been the case for the last couple of years, but the last couple of months it has. people are feeling a little bit better off in real terms about i% better off than a year ago. is that being played through in terms of the economy as a whole, giving a boost to the economy? no, i'm afraid not. for a year and a half it has been pretty much nonexistent or just going up a tiny bit. that is going to be at forefront of the bank of england's policymakers' minds as they set interest rates, and analysts saying that, because of that falling inflation and very little growth, the next move in interest rates is likely to be down rather than up. and briefly for us, all eyes will be on whether people go out and spend before christmas. we know it is make or break for a lot of retailers. if people aren't quite feeling well off they may not put their hand in their pocket. glad tidings at christmas, but probably not necessarily so for our finances. the necessities are still really expensive. energy over the winter months is very costly for people, food too. what analysts are saying is, maybe people wait for that december paycheque to come in before they start to go out to spend and charities and debt charities are saying that people must be careful and so not overspend on their budget, otherwise that very enjoyable christmas may become a real hangover injanuary. the family of a 17—year—old boy who died while working as a deliveroo rider — despite 18 being the minimum age — are calling for a change to prevent children being able to sign up. a bbc investigation found a black market in delivery app accounts which are bought and sold on social media, with no identity checks. the home office has called in the majorfood delivery companies for a meeting. angus crawford reports. leo wanted to be a millionaire. yeah. whatever it took, however it took, he just wanted to earn money and deal and hustle. atjust 15, on his bicycle, leo started riding for deliveroo. two years later, still working for the app, he was killed on a borrowed motorbike. no—one's accountable. not at all, for anything. theyjust take the money. it's not, it's not right. the rules say you've got to be 18 to work for the company, but leo easily got round them because of something called substitution. when you work with deliveroo, i you can also appoint a substitute. deliveroo lets drivers share their accounts. if you can't do a day, someone else can take your place. but it's up to you to check they're over 18, have no convictions and are allowed to work. but that system is open to abuse. we've found a thriving underground trade in deliveroo accounts for sale or rent on social media to anyone who's prepared to pay. both adults and children. we set up a fake account, biker boy, saying we were 16 years old and messaged some of the sellers. "age doesn't matter," said this one. "i don't really care, bro. they don't check," said another. and all this because of substitution, which all the big delivery apps allow. we think that practice is completely wrong. this is not a victimless activity. we've seen a young person die when he was doing a job that he shouldn't have been doing according to the rules of that company. it is perpetuating exploitation and enabling illegal working in our country. and this is why the government is concerned. we're out with police just to see if there's anyone that's illegally present and working. friday night in brighton. lots of people are ordering takeaways, lots of delivery drivers on the roads. is he not pulling over? but not all of them should be. at this time he is currently under arrest, as i suspect that he has overstayed his permitted time of entry within the united kingdom. and there's a frustration with the delivery companies themselves. it's basic right to work checks, that kind of thing. it's every employer's responsibility to ensure that the people they're employing are legally present in the united kingdom and have permission to work. so far this year teams like this have arrested 381 suspected illegal riders, many of them using substitute licences for the big online delivery apps. deliveroo told us it takes its responsibilities extremely seriously and demands riders must have the right to work in the uk and says it takes a zero tolerance approach towards any rider who fails to meet their legal obligations. but that's no comfort for leo's family. have deliveroo been in touch with you since leo's death? no. well, he doesn't...they wouldn't know him, would they? they wouldn't even know he existed. behind the apps we all take for granted, there are hidden victims of the gig economy. angus crawford, bbc news. those are your top business stories at this hour. you are watching bbc news. home to hundreds of boaters in wiltshire. all of which are facing a hike in licence fees come april. for those who live by moving the boats up those who live by moving the boats up and down the waterways without a fixed home mooring, are also being hit with a new surcharge, something they say amounts to discrimination. to put a surcharge on the people who are on the lowest incomes, it's just unfair. i am absolutely furious, but i am also very frightened. i'm scared that i am going to end up in a situation where i can't afford to license my home any more, and i might have to abandon it. at license my home any more, and i might have to abandon it.- license my home any more, and i might have to abandon it. at the new charues might have to abandon it. at the new char: es are might have to abandon it. at the new charges are being _ might have to abandon it. at the new charges are being brought _ might have to abandon it. at the new charges are being brought in -

letter. as you say, we have been reading this letter pretty much . letter. as you say, we have beenj reading this letter pretty much in the same timescale as you. she has just put it out short time ago, publicly through her twitter account, and i think the thing to take away, is the content, but also the timing of this. let's deal with the timing of this. let's deal with the content first. the most damaging thing i think in this is that she has clearly decided to launch a full frontal attack on rishi sunak as prime minister, and his functioning in that role, the way he carries it out. absolutely directly launched criticism, real dagger into the prime minister, where she says, at one point she says, you have manifestly repeatedly failed to live deliver on every single one of the key policies, either your distinctive style of government means you are incapable of doing so, or i must surely conclude you never had any intention of keeping your promises. so talking about his distinctive style that makes him incapable of delivering, again, another one where she says, i regret to say, your response, she is talking in this case, about those marchers, the pro—palestinian, pro—peace marchers, and her opposition to them. she calls them, again, hate marches. she said she had been urging him to implement, to change the law to ban them. she says, i have become horse trying to urge you to consider legislation. regret to say your response has been uncertain, weak, and lacking in the qualities of leadership that this country needs. direct criticism of him, and by implication, she is kind of saying, well, i could offer something different, or i think there is a different type of leader that we need. clearly, i think, in both attacking him and also promoting her own style of doing things. and that brings me to the second point which is the timing of this. there had been some thought that she might wait until tomorrow, or after tomorrow, to go very public like this, because that is when we get the supreme courtjudgment on the rwanda policy, the policy that had been pushed by suella braverman, supported by rishi sunak as well, to deport asylum seekers who arrive in this country by irregular means, deport them to rwanda and have rewound a deal with their cases. that ruling tomorrow is crucial for the government. this is the heart of their policy for dealing with migration. ratherthan their policy for dealing with migration. rather than waiting to see if that ruling goes for or against the government she has jumped on already, to get her points across now. she knows that this will dominate and lead the news agenda now this evening, before that result. whatever happens with that result, she has made her position on rishi sunak and his leadership very clear, and it is clearly a sort of rallying point, if you like, saying she is going to be publicly critical of him and try to rally others with her view to her side. it is of him and try to rally others with her view to her side.— her view to her side. it is really interesting- _ her view to her side. it is really interesting. i— her view to her side. it is really interesting. iwill_ her view to her side. it is really interesting. i will give -
