hello, i'm christian fraser. you're watching the context on bbc news. chaotic scenes in brussels police fire water cannon as farmers bring parts of the belgian capital to a standstill. four months after the government scrapped its plans to extend high speed rail to manchester the prime minister held a cabinet meeting in east yorkshire today, to discuss how that money would be spent and reinvested in smaller projects in the north. the government has confirmed
9:31 pm
that the 4.7 billion pounds saved by axeing the northern leg of the project will instead be redirected towards electric charging points and the refurbishment of things bus stations. henri murison is chief executive of the northern executive of the northern powerhouse partnership. even as i read that, it feels, as a northerner, that i was promised a porsche and i am getting a people carrier. but i suppose 4.7 billion is not to be sniffed out. it carrier. but i suppose 4.7 billion is not to be sniffed out.- is not to be sniffed out. it would be very exciting _ is not to be sniffed out. it would be very exciting news _ is not to be sniffed out. it would be very exciting news despite i is not to be sniffed out. it wouldl be very exciting news despite the fact it is not a porsche. if it were actually news. because this was actually news. because this was actually announced back in october last year and on this programme, you did a finejob of last year and on this programme, you did a fine job of covering the story, the cancellation of h52. some of the 30 pieces of silver given by the government because it is not the same money, all it has to be borrowed. so borrowing something different, that rather than reallocating because it is not money government actually has. it is not news to renowned something. so i am a bit annoyed and we now know grant
9:32 pm
shapps had to take a helicopter so god knows what the cabinet meeting costed us all. he god knows what the cabinet meeting casted us all-— costed us all. he can't take the train. costed us all. he can't take the train- he _ costed us all. he can't take the train. he has... _ costed us all. he can't take the train. he has... the _ costed us all. he can't take the train. he has... the real- train. he has... the real announcement - train. he has... the real announcement we - train. he has... the real. announcement we needed train. he has... the real- announcement we needed to train. he has... the real— announcement we needed to make. one bit of unfinished business that i'm still very frustrated about and many others in the north of england agree with me is that there is not a route for northern powerhouse roadway, there was a few years ago and because of the cancellation of hs2 we have a hole in the middle of it for manchester airport to manchester piccadilly station. government promised it would give certainty on that and come based on the views of the mayors, greater manchester in the mayors, greater manchester in the city region as well as the news of the business community to a subtle view rather than later. if the premise that come to manchester or anywhere in the north of england, and announce something like that, we were going to give certainty and get the legislation back in parliament, the legislation back in parliament, the most ironic thing is andrew
9:33 pm
percy on the bill committee, the man supposed to be planning the railway in manchester was, it is in his constituency so he was having his picture taken when bluntly he should've been back in parliament with the government with his work to do planning is for a way for stubby cannot do hisjob do planning is for a way for stubby cannot do his job and a whole committee in parliament in whitehall and westminster sitting doing announce because the government cannot make up its mind. it is not good enough. so i did want to and announcement, ijust good enough. so i did want to and announcement, i just wanted good enough. so i did want to and announcement, ijust wanted what good enough. so i did want to and announcement, i just wanted what was actually newsworthy rather than a pr puff piece which i think will be the most diplomatic way of framing what the transferred secretary and the prime minister was up to today. certainly no one would know better than you so if that's how you feel, and that is the way it is. you tweeted this week that for you, the cost of cancelling my will be significantly more than the amount of money they have announced they will be reallocating today. is that true? , ., ., , true? yes. the government has never
9:34 pm
done a preper — true? yes. the government has never done a proper cost-benefit _ true? yes. the government has never done a proper cost-benefit analysis i done a proper cost—benefit analysis because obviously, who would do that, that is not the responsible thing to do, ironic there. we don't know exactly how much the loss and benefit of the cancellation of hs2 but the benefits of doing hs2 northern power rail and the other productivity and the things in the north coming along side was going to generate an extra i million jobs north coming along side was going to generate an extra i millionjobs by 2050. by 2060 you're talking about extra trillian in economic value with huge amounts of tax revenues on the back of it. finally, with the extra bus stations announced today and putting in a few charging points over but the private sector is going to install anyway will not lead to such a dramatic increase in productivity. so there is a huge gap left by cancelling hs2 economically and the fact the prime minister claim today was transformative, doing what was promised ten years ago in manchester, which was to build railways east and west, north and south, to unprecedented things like the devolution achieved by the previous chancellor, but many other things to think about what we can
9:35 pm
do. with wider industrial strategy. this government struggles pays attention for a day to pay for grants in newcastle and hand out some of the pots of money for transport. the idea they will be a seriously engaged as george osborne was, it is like night and day and for the sunday express, they called it a northern energy. it feels like a pest take, we were promised a northern powerhouse and what we got was a few photo ops ten years later. i think the government has run out of road on this. has 40 years of underinvestment in the local transport. if they thought that was the way to drive a northern economy right to did spend money on bus stations lancashire to spend money on bus stations lancashire i4 stations lancashire to spend money on bus stations lancashire 14 years ago? henri murison. said bringing ages two to manchester should his party when the next question would be impossible —— bringing hs2. it is
9:36 pm
question would be impossible -- bringing hs2-— question would be impossible -- bringing h52. it is depended on if the sell bringing h52. it is depended on if they sell off _ bringing h52. it is depended on if they sell off the _ bringing h52. it is depended on if they sell off the compulsory - bringing h52. it is depended on if they sell off the compulsory land | they sell off the compulsory land between — they sell off the compulsory land between now and the election, if they have, — between now and the election, if they have, it makes it difficult coming — they have, it makes it difficult coming up to go through the whole process— coming up to go through the whole process again of compulsory, repurchasing land you have sold off probably— repurchasing land you have sold off probably from where you have just sold it _ probably from where you have just sold it off— probably from where you have just sold it off for. so it would make it very difficult. it does not make it impossible, but it makes very, very difficult _ impossible, but it makes very, very difficult. you heard from henryjust now difficult. you heard from henryjust nowjusi _ difficult. you heard from henryjust nowjust how frustrating this is for a lot of— nowjust how frustrating this is for a lot of people. it is notjust a lot of— a lot of people. it is notjust a lot of levelling up agenda to rebalance the south and north, which is important — rebalance the south and north, which is important for people in london as welt _ is important for people in london as welt the _ is important for people in london as well. the reason have incredibly how highest _ well. the reason have incredibly how highest prices in london is because much _ highest prices in london is because much of— highest prices in london is because much of our— highest prices in london is because much of our economy is based in the south _ much of our economy is based in the south east _ much of our economy is based in the south east corner. if we've redistributed the country better, you may— redistributed the country better, you may take some of the overheating out of _ you may take some of the overheating out of the _ you may take some of the overheating out of the london in the south—east. as well_ out of the london in the south—east. as well is _ out of the london in the south—east. as well is that, there is also been huge _ as well is that, there is also been huge environmental benefits as well as the _ huge environmental benefits as well as the economic benefits that would have come _ as the economic benefits that would have come from hsz as the economic benefits that would have come from h52 and other projects— have come from h52 and other projects like this. so it is a real, reat— projects like this. so it is a real, real bad — projects like this. so it is a real, real bad boss. if you compared with
9:37 pm
what president biden has been doing with the _ what president biden has been doing with the inflation protection act, huge _ with the inflation protection act, huge amounts of borrowing, public investment and it has created jobs at far— investment and it has created jobs at far better economic growth and we have here _ at far better economic growth and we have here. we have not got any economic— have here. we have not got any economic growth here. we are fiatiining _ economic growth here. we are flatlininu. ., �* , ., _ economic growth here. we are flatlininu. , ., _ , flatlining. you've 'ust read by my because earlier _ in the programme we played out out an interview with the free set earlier in the programme we played our interview with the climate tsar. john kerry, who was adamant that investment in cleaner technologies, of which rail must be one, pays back in terms of foreign investment, in the number ofjobs it creates, and the industry it drives. have a listen. the world will be safer, cleaner, healthier, without any question. and there'll be a better economy with many more jobs created in these new sectors. this is the largest economic transformation that we're looking at in the history of humankind since the industrial revolution. and there will be enormous numbers ofjobs created. and this they already are in america. last year we had 3.8—3.9% growth in clean energyjobs.
9:38 pm
the growth in the regular energy sector was only about 3%. we now have $1.8 trillion of venture capital in clean energy. the last year, the investment in old energy was about one trillion dollars. first time ever that clean energy is now beating fossil fuel. things interesting in the context of the 28 billion labour has canceled/ downgraded in terms of green spending. looking at what has happened in the us and joe biden must take some credit, the sort of investment has been in lithium batteries, battery plants, wind energy, all of the costs are coming down. what i thought was interesting about whatjohn kerry said today is that even if donald trump was to get into power in 2025, the states are now such a path that's in as we continue regardless whatever the government did. the states can see the direction of travel. would you see that is true?—
9:39 pm
see that is true? fascinating. republican — see that is true? fascinating. republican members - see that is true? fascinating. republican members of- see that is true? fascinating. - republican members of congress see that is true? fascinating. _ republican members of congress vowed to roll back some of these investments and billions of dollars that are being spent on infrastructure, clean energy. so, although a lot of it is in the pipeline, there could perhaps be efforts to roll some of it back it. if they are successful at doing it. if they are successful at doing it. i will say, the massive investment in the inflation reduction act and the bi— infrastructure bill that passed under the first two years of president biden is finally starting to be felt. it comes after decades of the united states ignoring any sort of energy transition and any sort of energy transition and any sort of energy transition and any sort of transportation transition and upgrades as well. you look at our rail system in the united states, it is absolutely abysmal. the length of time it takes to get from dc to new york on the train has only gotten longer in the past 20 years because of the challenge with
9:40 pm
the tracks and upgrades, etc. so this investment is not only necessary for economic improvement in the country, but also it is necessary just to in the country, but also it is necessaryjust to maintain our standard of living. fine necessaryjust to maintain our standard of living.— necessaryjust to maintain our standard of living. one other thing that the secretary _ standard of living. one other thing that the secretary did _ standard of living. one other thing that the secretary did say - standard of living. one other thing that the secretary did say is - standard of living. one other thing that the secretary did say is that l that the secretary did say is that there is a fever burning in europe are now over some climate regulations being introduced. it has been another day of protest in brussels the farmers descending upon the european capital with tractors, manure and a whole list of grievances trying to keep up the pressure on eu farm ministers. our correspondent nick beake was watching. let's think about that in the context of what he has been saying. the point he makes is that they still spend in america $2.7 trillion on oil and gas. a subsidy that actually would be better directed to those who are most deeply involved in the transition like farmers. absolutely. the farmer's grievance

hello there, good evening. a rather wet start across the southeast of england today, but for many, it was largely dry. the best of the sunshine towards the west today, such as here in northern ireland, also western scotland. wales and the southwest of england, seeing lots of blue sky around. some sunny spells, but also some showers blowing in from the north sea, though, further east. and the general forecast, as we head through the rest of the week, it's going to be changeable — wet and windy at times, some frost and fog forming perhaps for some over the next couple of nights. and then the air turns briefly milder through the middle part of the week. now, overnight tonight, we look out towards the northwest of scotland, into northern ireland, where we see a couple of weather fronts approaching. temperatures dipping away for a while, but then rising again as the cloud starts to thicken and the rain pushes through. but further south, for england and wales, it's going to feel rather chilly. there'll be a frost and also some fog developing as the winds lighten — the fog most likely for the east midlands and into east anglia.

but this is how we'll start off the day on tuesday. now, that fog will be slow to lift and clear. there will be some hazy sunshine across the southeastern quadrant of the uk. further north and west, that frontjust continues to slip further southwards and eastwards, but as it bumps into the high pressure, it's fizzling out. so, the rain will be really quite negligible by the time we get to the end of the day. brighter skies developing behind the front. a scattering of showers and temperatures are milder across much of scotland, northern england and northern ireland — 9 or 10 celsius here. now, as we head through tuesday night, again, a frost possible across england and wales, but too windy for any frost to form really further north than that and another warm front approaches. now, this is going to drag with it some milderfeeling air and also some further outbreaks of rain — heaviest towards the west across northern ireland, western scotland, down through northwest england, western wales and the southwest of england. but it's a largely dry day, but with thickening cloud through the afternoon across eastern england. temperatures here reaching double figures as that milder air gradually sweeps its way eastwards. but then a couple of cold fronts will be pushing through as we head through thursday, so, again, it will be turning colderfor most. this rain pushes across east anglia through central—southern england, perhaps pepping up at times.
