Speculation claims UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak may axe part of the High Speed 2 rail project.
Sunak is set to deliver a speech as part of the Conservative Party conference, and a rumour that he'll scrap the Manchester leg of the rail link.
UK correspondent Enda Brady says the project costs have ballooned to $200 billion, and Sunak will be feeling the pressure to cut costs.
