I'm Rory Stewart and I grew up wanting to be a hero and I'm still fascinated by the ideas of heroism.

In my new series, I'm taking in the long sweep of history from Achilles to Zelensky and asking, what is a hero?

Simply doing your job, being a decent human being.

A true hero is someone who just kind of shines by

their own light and that light is to be recognised by others. The long history of heroism with me,

Wake up to money from BBC 5 Live.

Hello morning, welcome to Wake Up to Money.

The Chancellor, Rachel Reeves, has finally named the date.

Her budget will be on November the 26, much later than expected, and she had this to say to our economics editor.

People who seem to know what is in the budget before we have made those decisions are just wrong.

A lot of them are talking rubbish and frankly a lot of what they're saying is irresponsible.

We've once again assembled an expert panel going to dig through all of it, what it means

and we're going to explain it to you over the next half hour or so. Also on the program today, we'll take a look at one group who could do with a break, and that's university leavers, graduates. They're finding it harder, apparently, to get their foot in the door of coveted jobs. We'll be hearing from a report author about why that might be. And it's the start of the football season.

No, not that one. The American football season. We'll be taking a look at the commercial side of Gridiron with the US TV sports expert.

Wake Up to Money with Will Bay. Yeah, morning. Welcome to Wake Up to Money on Thursday the 4th of September.

We're with you this morning. Great as always to have your company. lots to get to, but of course the big story that's dominating is dominating many of the front pages this morning as well. Is the decision by the Chancellor Rachel Reeves to announce that the budget will be held? Well, it's going to be virtually Christmas by the time we have it. Certainly Christmas decorations will be up the 26th of November. So that last week in November, lots of people thought it might be in October. They've gone for kind of the latest possible date. So what does all that mean? What might mean in it? What does it tell us? What does it mean for businesses and investment? All those kind of things that we've talked about plenty on the program. We are going to dive into that this morning with a panel of guests. Rachel Carroll is here in the studio. And what is actually a full house? I'm going to get a fuller house here in the studio this morning as well. Rachel, you might remember, is the founder of the childcare company. Coru Kids, morning. Great to have you back in the studio. Hello. Nice to be you. Tell us a little bit again about Coru kids.

So what we're best known for is picking your kids up from school, taking them home to your

house and looking after them there until you're ready to look after them yourself after

you've finished work.

And so we have many thousands of nannies that we vet and train across the country and we match with

families. A timely time to be in that sector. A fair amount going on around that at the moment.
