7:51 pm
correspondent harry farley, we talk to you about what this would get through and we had the news that it has passed. the get through and we had the news that it has passed-— it has passed. the eskimos this bill raised through _ it has passed. the eskimos this bill raised through the _ it has passed. the eskimos this bill raised through the house _ it has passed. the eskimos this bill raised through the house of- it has passed. the eskimos this bill raised through the house of lords. raised through the house of lords today and the key point is that both the conservatives and labour supported it. they wanted this legislation to go through and as you think it squashes convictions of those sub—postmasters who were wrongly convicted in that horizon scanning and you recall obviously talking about it at length earlier in the year. and the government announced this legislation and effectively it's quite radical because it overturns decisions by the criminal courts, more than 900 sub postmasters were wrongly prosecuted. and what this legislation does is it overturns their convictions and that unlocks their convictions and that unlocks the process for many of them to claim compensation. both sides wanted to see this through. nancy said this is part of the washup
7:52 pm
process, the term used for all those government bills that are in the process of going through the houses of commons and lords but have not yet become a law. this has now passed its final stage in the house of lords and when it gets royal assent it will become law. [10 of lords and when it gets royal assent it will become law. do we have any idea — assent it will become law. do we have any idea of _ assent it will become law. do we have any idea of the _ assent it will become law. do we have any idea of the timescale i have any idea of the timescale for them to get compensation because i think i remember remembering the government was talking about by the end of the year? the government was talking about by the end of the year?— government was talking about by the end of the year? the government has said that we — end of the year? the government has said that we don't _ end of the year? the government has said that we don't have _ end of the year? the government has said that we don't have any more - said that we don't have any more details other than that at the moment, but i think i suppose the key point is to say but there is a lot of political will to make this happen and to see that compensation in the hands of those sub postmasters. obviously off the back of that i tv drama early in the year that really caught the public imagination and awaken everyone to the scale of that scandal. and there is a lot of political wealth from all parties relief to see compensation handed out. so i think
7:53 pm
this was why this bill was able to speed so quickly through the house of lords today, much weaker than it would otherwise have done perhaps, and so it is one of those bills that has gone through in this washup process little bits worth say that there are still a number of other bills that have still got large questions against and we spoke earlier about the leaseholder in freehold bill and that we debated by the house of lords tomorrow and i'm told that there are currently very live in ongoing negotiations around that and around whether to impose a cap on ground rents as well as also a big question on renters reform that would in no fall of nations for renters. so the quashing of convictions for those sub postmasters who were wrongly prosecuted in the horizon scandal, that has gone through in a big question about a lot of other legislation still to come. {lilia legislation still to come. 0k, har , legislation still to come. 0k, harry. thank— legislation still to come. 0k, harry, thank you _ legislation still to come. 0k, harry, thank you very - legislation still to come. ok, harry, thank you very much, our political correspondent asked wit mr. another line that we are getting
7:54 pm
that another senior tory mp said they are not standing for reelection and that senior tory mp is sir michael ellis, the latest to announce that he is not standing for reelection. the mp for northampton north and a former attorney general and he said in the statement it was and he said in the statement it was an extremely difficult decision not to stand again but he says it's the right time for a new candidate to try and win the vote and represent the seat. you could get more on that on the abc news website and app. coming up next, christie will be here with the contact and he will be looking at the first day of the general election campaign, rounding up general election campaign, rounding up with the politicians have been saying and of course putting it into context. first, a check on the weather with ben. hello. for some of us, the rain over the last couple of days has felt relentless. we've seen more than 100 millimetres of rain falling in some locations in the space of 48 hours. this weather system swirled its way in from the near continent and then just sat in place, and so the rainjust kept on coming.
7:55 pm
and this area of low pressure is still going to be with us through tonight and into tomorrow, but it will be weakening. it will be loosening its grip, so the rain will continue to ease off. some heavier bursts of rain for a time across the northern isles. still quite wet for a while across central and southern parts of scotland. could see some further flooding issues here. broadly speaking, though, the rain continuing to peter out through the night. and where we see some clear skies, particularly down towards the south of england, it will actually be a little on the chilly side, maybe down to five, six or seven degrees. but that's where we'll start tomorrow morning with some spells of sunshine. further north, a good part of wales, the midlands, certainly northern england, northern ireland and scotland seeing a lot of cloud. that cloud still producing some bits and pieces of rain and drizzle, but it certainly isn't going to be as wet as it has been over recent days. in the sunniest spots down towards the south—east of england, temperatures will get to 19—20 degrees. and actually it does look relatively warm for this coming weekend. there will be some spells of sunshine, but also some heavy
7:56 pm
and possibly thundery showers. now, most places will actually see some dry weather on saturday. this little weather feature here trying to nose its way in from the continent. that may bring some showery rain for a timejust clipping into eastern counties of england. also a frontal system bringing cloud and rain into south—west england, the south—west of wales, parts of northern ireland by the end of the day. but in between, there should be a slice of sunshine and just one or two showers. and where we have that sunshine, temperatures peaking at 20—21 degrees. now, as we head into sunday, there'll still be some sunny spells around, but also some pretty hefty showers. they'll be quite hit and miss. some places may avoid the showers and stay dry, others will get a real drenching with some thunder and lightning mixing in. in the sunniest spots, though, temperatures again into the high teens, maybe up to around 20 degrees celsius. perhaps a little bit less warm on monday. still some spells of sunshine, but also some hefty showers, especially in the north of the uk.
7:57 pm
7:58 pm
7:59 pm
hello, i'm christian fraser. you're watching the context on bbc news. that's why we need rawanda. we've got to make it crystal clear to everybody, if you come to our country illegally, you won't get to stay. will be able to remove you to a safe alternative, because that's how you break the cycle. you now have the power, the chance to end the chaos, to turn the page and to rebuild britain. in terms of the big picture today, what we have had from the party| leaders fanning out across the uk. is setting out their broad campaign messages, and you know what? we'll hear them repeatedly.
8:00 pm
the first day of the campaign, only six weeks of campaigning available.you can sense the urgency among the leaders. sunak in wales, starmer in kent, davey in cheltenham, the first minister of scotland travelled to edinburgh. we'll have a round up of all the election news of the day, including reform uk's pitch to voters, as it targets tory seats for the first time. also tonight the story that was buried yesterday, we will not be overlooking tonight, the highlights from today's proceedings at the post office inquiry. good evening. the absolute rule of political campaigning is consistency and repetition. and in these first 24 hours, the leaders of the two biggest parties were keen to impress, what their slogans will in the coming six weeks.
