chancellor, what are you going to do about the turmoil in the markets this morning, sir? a tax—cutting mini budget caused chaos. i won't make any comment now. the government's budget watchdog worried about inflation. it warned of a big drop in living standards over the next two years, the sharpest since records began. last month the chancellor said it wasn't time for tax cuts. we must grow the economy, be more efficient in how we spend money, then we can start to bring down taxes. now, though, jeremy hunt thinks things are changing. price rises are slowing. the bank of england's interest rate hikes have seen to that, and we are year, perhaps less, from an election so his priorities are shifting, he is now considering tax reductions. i will only do so in a responsible way. i'm not going to sacrifice the progress we've made bringing down inflation. if you're saying today, "i'm not going to do anything that will fuel inflation," our viewers can hear you pretty clearly hinting that means no income tax cut. what i can tell you is the approach i will take on tax, which means we will be responsible... another thing he is considering limiting, the amount that benefits rise in the coming year. usually, september's inflation, 6.7%, would dictate how much they go up but he may use a lowerfigure and toughen the rules for some. let me tell you what i've been saying about the welfare system. we will give support to more than1 million people to help them get well enough to work and, yes, there will be people who are not sick, don't have a disability, been out of work for a long time. we say if you are not engaging with the process, if you don't engage for six months, then we are going to close your case and stop your benefits. labour say that limiting benefit rises is the wrong approach. in government i willl use the inflation rate that is traditional, . september inflation, to increase the rates. so whatever happens you would always commit to that? i think it's the right thing to do. if you pick and choose _ from year—to—year what inflation number is the cheapest thing to do, then you see the gradual erosion i of people's incomes. the chancellor knows his party remains far behind in the polls, without too much time to turn things around. damian grammaticus, bbc news well, any changes to taxes and benefit payments announced this week, could have a significant impact on households. coletta smith has been speaking to three women, all in receipt of benefits, to hear what they'd like, the chancellor to do. hi, i'm faye. i'm a mum of two. i've got a son and a daughter. hi, i'mjo, mum to harry. a teenager with additional needs. hi, i'm may. i'm a single mum to a two—year—old who is here with me. _ the changing realities project is sharing the experience of low—income parents going through the cost of living crisis. nobody chooses to struggle. yeah, i feel quite invisible and i feel constantly worried. i never in my 205, now in my 305, imagined that this is how- i was going to end up. so, i'm here to find out what would help, and increasing benefits to match september's inflation figure is top of the agenda. l if they're not going to increase i the amount of income people get, but the cost of things. is still going up by 5%, then you've got less money. you check your bank account every single day, just in case. might they have put another cost of living payment in? it feels... completely at random, no warning. it goes nowhere. goes nowhere. the biggest thing for me, - if they make it, if they universally funded childcare the way they do for schools. - kids cost a lot. especially when they're younger. i'm saying to my son, right, you're going to have to get a blanket on. get a blanket on, get in your bed. it's warmer. i honestly don't know how _ we would manage if my son didn't get disibility benefits. it's ridiculous. the chancellor is sort of likely to make some changes around isas, something for first—time buyers, maybe some announcements about stamp duty. does any of that relate? no. not at all. it's irrelevant. we're just struggling to make our lives better for our children, let alone planning ahead for their nest savings. yeah. what are you supposed to do? you can't afford to rent, you can't afford to buy. i what would help? property portfolios need to be taxed. that's it. and rent needs to be capped, and affordable. but i'm seeing massive profits for companies, oil companies. you want the comfort of somebody saying, " look, we know your bills are huge. we're going to cap that lower and we're going to take vat off it". we just want the government to say that we see you and want to help you because we know you're going to make a huge contribution once you get back on track. clear messages for the chancellor from those struggling the most. colletta smith, bbc news. the global shortage of medicines to treat adhd — attention deficit hyperactivity disorder — is causing problems for people across the uk. the nhs says it hopes the supply issued will be sorted by next month — but there are fears they could drag into the new year, which is causing real concern among some families — asjohn henderson reports from north devon. he feeds his fish on a regular basis and he enjoys watching telly. gary's a teenage boy, after all — a boy with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. and for much of his life, this 14—year—old has been reliant on pills to keep him calm. without that medication... literally get really cross, like break stuff in school, i literally break stuff. it's unthinkable. people have got no idea of what it's like to live with a child like this. gary was diagnosed with adhd when he was about two. this is him playing with his sister when they were toddlers. it'sjust one of those moments where theyjust clicked. now 11, caitlin has adhd as well. how does it make you feel? stressed out but also like maybe scared sometimes or just can't concentrate. dad craig passed on the condition, so a national shortage of drugs to treat adhd is understandably causing alarm in this household. a spokesperson for the department of health said it understood that medicines shortages can be distressing and it's advising patients to speak to their clinicians. the spokesperson said some supply issues have been resolved and others are expected to be fixed by the end of the year. others fear drug supplies for adhd won't return to normal until the new year. i don't know what's going to unravel, and everyone in my position, they don't know which parts of their life are going to unravel, which parts they're going to do, which they're not. and it's absolutely terrifying and horrifying, and you'rejust trying to keep it together. so a nervous time for one family affected by adhd. john henderson, bbc news. tickets for the glastonbury festival next year have sold out within an hour of going on sale this morning. the festival's organisers posted on x, formerly twitter, that �*demand had greatly exceeded supply�*. none of the headline acts have announced yet. earlier i spoke to one of our own, aisling taylor, who has managed to grab some of those hot tickets today. well, you can only buy a maximum of six tickets per person. so what we did was split up ourfriendship group into little pods or little groups, and we made an excel spreadsheet where you�*ve got your name, your registration number and your postcode, because once you get in there, it�*s all seems to happen in the blink of an eye. you need to be prepared. and the idea is that if one of those six people gets through to the point where you can get the tickets, they will buy it for their group. the thing is that sometimes two people from that same group will get through, so then they can buy tickets for the piece, pull down the line in the next group. so it�*s about having the tickets up on your up on your computer so it�*s about having the tickets up on your computer and then on your phone on the group chat, just frantically messaging back and forth. and then within a few minutes it all sometimes works out. the level of organisation was impressive. what was that moment like? what was it feeling like trying to kind of beat the system to some degree? well, in my heart of hearts, i didn�*t think we would get tickets, so it was just a brilliant surprise and such a good way to start the day. there doesn�*t seem to be much rhyme or reason about who gets through, so i was stuck on the loading screen where it refreshes every 20 seconds, whereas my boyfriend, who is on the same wi—fi, got straight through. so i don�*t know what the tricks are behind the scenes. i don�*t know what someone who knows the internet better than me will probably know. but yeah, it�*s just all happens in a blink of an eye. and i�*m trying to think, am i that this is your first glastonbury you�*ve not been before? yeah, i�*ve never been before, so i am incredibly excited and i�*ve actually never been to a multi—day festival before either. so lots of firsts. i�*m going to have to do a lot of reading up and just get everyone�*s tips. you put in an awful lot of effort for a line—up that you don�*t yet know. it�*s not been announced. so, if you were to be in charge of glastonbury, who would you like to see across the across the evenings? well, there are so many stages and artists that perform, so i feel like there�*s always something for everybody. but i�*ve seen some speculation online that madonna is potentially a headliner, and i�*ve seen lots of videos on social media of her recent performances, and i would be over the moon if that turned out to be true. but i�*m just so excited to be going. i�*ll be happy, whoever it is. now it�*s time for the weather with darren bett. hello there. we�*ve had some more rain around today but after today and perhaps tomorrow, the rest of the week is looking pretty dry. at the moment, we�*ve got the rain because we�*ve got low pressure sitting very close to the uk. that�*s brought some heavy rain earlier on in wales and across northern england. that rain moving away from wales but we�*ll keep the rain going into the night across northern england, perhaps southern scotland. some rain comes back into northern ireland and then we get this curl of rain sweeping eastwards across southern parts of england and wales. so a bit of a messy night. we will find some clearer spells developing through the midlands and lowest temperatures will be around 5—6 degrees, so a little bit chillier than it was last night. that rain in the south—east soon moves away and then, broadly speaking, it�*s going to be quite cloudy. there will be some showers around, maybe some sunshine, though, for a good part of the day across east anglia and the south—east. it will get windy, though, across northern ireland and across these western coastal areas. it will be a chillier wind as well, and on the whole, temperatures will bit lower than we�*ve seen over the weekend. but after monday, then, there may not be a great deal of sunshine but there probably won�*t be an awful lot of rain through the rest of the week, either. we�*re going to find this area of high pressure tending to build towards the uk. a northerly wind, though, is bringing in some chillier air as we head into tuesday. it may well bring in more cloud again and a few showers across england and wales — those should tend to move away. some sunshine for a while for scotland and northern ireland before it clouds over here, a little rain in the far north of scotland. those temperatures continuing to just slip away a little bit. so typically around 9 or 10 degrees and it could be quite chilly overnight across england and wales. it may be the coldest night over the week ahead. things start to turn milder though across scotland and northern ireland, because the wind direction changes. there�*s that colder air, but this is the air we�*re going to get into through the rest of the week. it�*s a milder air coming around the top of an area of high pressure and it�*s broadly a westerly wind. it will bring in a lot of cloud across northern parts of the uk and some rain into northern and western areas of scotland. further south, a lot of dry weather. a bit of sunshine coming through now and again but as you can see, there will be a lot of cloud around. you can see how the temperatures are changing, back up to 14 degrees across many parts of scotland. that�*s wednesday. into thursday, still the high pressure to the south, still that westerly wind and most of the rain will be in the far north of the uk. live from london. this is bbc news. israel releases footage which it says shows hostages captured by hamas on the 7th of october were taken to the al shifa hospital. israeli troops say they�*ve found a 55 metre tunnel under the hamas—run al—shifa complex in gaza. meanwhile, 31 premature babies are evacuated from the al—shifa hospital — palestinian doctors say eight other children died because of lack of care. meanwhile — the prime minister of qatar suggests israel and hamas could be close to a deal to release some of the hostages held in gaza. and the actor russell brand has been questioned by metropolitan police detectives in london, in relation to allegations of historical sex offences. hello, welcome to bbc news. israeli military officials have released new footage which they say shows hamas bringing hostages into the al—shifa hospital on the morning of the october seventh attacks. a spokesman said cctv footage from the hospital showed one hostage being bundled into al—shifa�*s main entrance, and another hostage held under armed guard inside one of the hospital�*s rooms.
