since then, it has been at 53p. there's now growing speculation that the cut could be reversed in the budget at the end of october, and that would push fuel duty back up to 58p a litre, so an increase of 5p. that would raise an extra £2 billion a year, and help to plug the £22 billion shortfall between what the government has coming in from taxes and what its spending. but why the speculation now about fuel duty going up? well, the prime minister has already ruled out raising the main taxes — so that's income tax, national insurance and vat, but refused to rule out raising fuel duty. the rac says drivers haven't actually been getting the full benefit of the current fuel duty cut. it says they're being overcharged by retailers whose profit margins have grown bigger, while falls in the wholesale price haven't been fully passed on.

it's very clear from the rac�*s analysis of fuel prices that drivers haven't been getting the benefit of the 5p duty cut, so we think the chancellor has no option but to put it back up. but we don't want to see drivers pay more, so we really hope retailer margins will come back down to fairer levels. they're at 15p per litre at the moment compared to the long term average of 8p. so it's not opposing the possible rise in fuel tax, but the rac says the onus is now on petrol stations and supermarkets to cut their prices and ease the burden on drivers. passengers who bought cabins on a round—the—world cruise have been left stranded in belfast for three months. villa vie residence's ship odyssey was due to leave the city at the end of may, for the first leg of a three year cruise. but because of problems with its rudder and gearbox, it still hasn't left the port. our ireland correspondent sara girvin has the story. for those on board, this is the adventure of a lifetime, a residential cruise taking in cities across the globe. but they spent more time in one city than they bargained for.

holly has been in belfast since may with her cat captain for company. he's used to the yachting thing. he lived on a boat in the winter. ever since he was a kitten. and he's a trooper. he's wonderful. he's raring to go. what has been the best thing about your time in belfast? and what's been the worst? well, the worst by far is the weather. i feel so sorry for you all. i have had to buy vitamin d for the first time in my life. you know, florida, we don't need that. the people here have all been supportive and the best invention ever are half pints of beer. we don't have those in america. passengers on this cruise were given the option of buying their cabin outright, rather than paying a rate like a hotel, meaning they'll live on this ship for at least the next three years. and according to the company's website, buying a cabin can cost anywhere between $100,000 and $900,000. at the moment, passengers

spend their days on the ship or on different trips, but sleep in hotels. there have been frustrations, but the passengers we spoke to have faith that the ship will launch soon. sure, we've been frustrated at times, but really it's all been part of the adventure. you know, three months in belfast wasn't on the itinerary, but we just made the most of it. it's been amazing to learn a new country, a new culture, uh, all the food, all the drinks. so i've enjoyed getting to know it. all the guinness. what are you looking forward to the most now? departure. and it's hoped departure from belfast will take place next week, once sea trials are completed. when you are the first at doing something, uh, you're going to run into hiccups. that's not me making excuses. that's just the reality of how things are.

and although we were late, we will launch and the the vision and the dream of our residents will become a reality. it may not have been the start to their dream that they planned, but for the next few days, at least, passengers will continue to make belfast their unexpected home. sarah garvin, bbc news. hello there. yesterday in cambridgeshire, the temperature reached 30 degrees. it's quite a bit cooler and fresher today, but at least there's some sunshine around. these were the earlier showers and increasingly becoming confined to the north west of scotland. keeping it cool here. one or two showers potentially this afternoon across some other western areas, but in the east, in the dry weather and sunshine, temperatures are pleasant, 22 or 23 degrees. now this evening, a lot of that cloud willjust tend to melt away. the showers in scotland becoming confined towards the far north, and the winds

are easing here as well. with clear skies and quite chilly air, it will turn quite cold overnight — temperatures in scotland and northern ireland could be as low as 4 or 5 degrees and quite chilly as well across england and wales, but those clearer skies mean plenty of sunshine to start the day. it will warm up quite quickly. the showers move away from northern scotland and the winds continue to drop. we'll see some sea breezes developing, keeping coastal areas sunny. some cloud develops overland but it should be dry. temperatures still17—18 in scotland and northern ireland, and around 2a or so in the southeast of england. high pressure to end the week. over the weekend it starts to move away and on saturday it allows this weather front to move up from the south and that is going to bring with it much more cloud northwards across england and wales on saturday. maybe the odd shower, but a lot of places i think will be dry. and we've got the sunnier skies further north. now the winds will be picking up a bit on saturday for much of england and wales. it's an easterly wind. it'll keep the east coast of england a little cooler and the breeze picks up in scotland and northern ireland. but we do have the sunshine

here and so it may well be a warmer day for scotland and northern ireland, with temperatures in glasgow potentially the same as london, where we've got more cloud until later in the day. that cloud does move northwards, though. on saturday night, the high pressure continues to move away. this weather front slides in from the atlantic and ahead of it we start to dry up a bit more heat, a bit more humidity and the potential for some storms. but that cloud is further north as we head into sunday. following that, there will be some sunshine and that will allow the cloud to develop, which could trigger a few thunderstorms, especially later on in the day. and some heat and humidity is coming in from the near continent, so temperatures could peak at 26 or 27 degrees. but with more cloud in scotland and northern ireland, temperatures on sunday will be lower.
