1:01ending. The former Bank of England chief economist Andy Haldane told The Times Britain was close to being taxed out and maxed out in terms of borrowing. The paper's political editor is Stephen Swinford. Everything on the horizon suggests that next year is going to be a full blown cost of living crisis, increasing prices in shops, increasing prices at the pumps, increasing interest rates, a bonfire night rise in interest rates to come. You name it, across the board, things are looking very difficult. And I think his point is that this will become unsustainable and at some point his hand could be forced and the markets could could make him take action and that will fatally undermine him is the suggestion.

1:41Forecasters have issued warnings for strong winds as a second storm in two days is felt across the UK. Storm Bula is expected tonight with an amber warning covering Scotland, Northern Ireland's north coast, Cumbria and Northumberland. Yellow warnings cover the whole of mainland Scotland, the Western Isles, Orkney and the far north of England. Davy Shanks is a journalist in Aberdeen. We're going to see quite a lot of cancellations of trains from nine o 'clock, slowdowns as well, so your service might not run quite as quickly as well. Later on towards that amber weather warning as well, ferry sailings, many have been cancelled, quite a lot of events have been cancelled as well.

2:19What we are expecting, what we do see when the warnings come to amber is many, many trees coming down, disruption to the power network as well, and that can have a real impact on people's day-to-day lives.

Thomas Markle denies the allegations.

2:57France is bracing for a day of protests, a week after riots and looting across the country. Hundreds of thousands of demonstrators are expected to gather in cities for another round of action, organised by students, trade unions and anti-government groups. The student protester Lola Fleur-Whittaker told Times Radio she expects the demonstrations will spread to Britain. I think in the UK people are living the exact same problems. The NHS is crumbling. I mean, just the fact that people are struggling to pay rent whilst working and do not have enough money, you know, to pay for food in the entire month is just crazy to me.

3:35And I think they will recognise themselves in the French movement and French but also Italian, etc. movement. And I think it's really important to organise. The suspect's been arrested after a fire at a former Nazi mountain retreat known as the Eagle's Nest in Germany. Around 200 firefighters battled the flames after the building, which hosted Adolf Hitler, caught alight last night.
