a very tough come off and they had a very tough time even before we wanted into the coronavirus system. the reading also that it would effect seven out a ten household buyers, rishi sunak is focusing very much on the younger generation and he thinks will suffer the most from this pandemic. it will save them 15,000 but also been pointed out to me that the biggest building society nationwide it has tripled from their the minimum deposit it ask for first—time buyers. instead of wanting 5% of the loa n to buyers. instead of wanting 5% of the loan to value as a deposit is now looking for a 15%. that would be cancelled out in other words. one last point. boris has made clear in the past that he wanted to scrap the stamp duty for properties up to 500000 and reduce property up to

over one half millions to separate percent as well so that is why i was asking whether it might be a permanent fixture. yes. there are a lot of conservative mps who would like to see it scrapped altogether in the issue is that the stamp duty raises almost £81; billion every yearfor raises almost £81; billion every year for the treasury and economically when the government we set out it might be popular but they might decide they need the money. let's go onto the eyes newspaper. parking charges for nhs staff and patients and families, the last numberl patients and families, the last number i saw was a patients and families, the last number i saw was a race patients and families, the last number i saw was a race 226 million in 2018, they say free parking for nhs staff will be scrapped. some of the trust are making more than one maker pounds a year. they are. absolutely. i feel very sorry for nhs staff. —— £1 million a year. one of the great joys which you could drive right to where you work in a park for nothing. but i see in

london the roads are getting really crowded. people are going back to work. i suppose this is part of their recovery that the government really needs. it is sad because special places the nhs at the park during the bad days of the virus, just the end of the lockdown, it cost a lot of money and it is another way of saying we once shared bands and get business cards and everybody to come in and work as they happen. and i felt sorry for they happen. and i felt sorry for the nhs. it must've been blessed to park right by your hospital.m the nhs. it must've been blessed to park right by your hospital. itjust seem iniquitous. nurses, porches, everybody paying, people visiting, sick relatives were cancers. hours and hours, 350, £431] hour. sick relatives were cancers. hours and hours, 350, £4 an hour. yes. i wouldn't be surprised if we sought number ten do a sharp u—turn on this

policy. another one! averaging about one every two or three days. exactly. it feels as though the public will be so disappointed and confused by why on earth the government would do this and in the same way was how the government u—turn over free school meals after a very high—profile football i got involved, you can just a very high—profile football i got involved, you canjust imagine a very high—profile football i got involved, you can just imagine the story running out over the few next days, ministers coming under sustained pressure and number ten realising it is just not worth it, not worth the cost and particularly today we have seen the prime minister, and a fire for comments he made over care homes suggesting that it was theirfault made over care homes suggesting that it was their fault for not following procedures that cost the high death rates. he has been heavily condemned and that and again to now being penalised nhs workers who have got us penalised nhs workers who have got us to this crisis. it would be such an unpopular move. ijust have a feeling that maybe the pmo realise it is not likely to go. no apology

for number ten. they could instead he misspoke. but they don't even say that. it seems extraordinary. there isa tiny that. it seems extraordinary. there is a tiny paragraph on the front of the telegraph saying the telegraphers during an investigation into care homes which of course many ca re into care homes which of course many care homes are run for profit. i will be interested to see if his comments tonight is tied up with their investigation but of course at their investigation but of course at the investigation inside the telegraph so we have no idea what it says. let's move on to the new york times. they often have these features pieces on the front page. quite interesting, the safety net from centuries past, pawnshops as in raising money through pawnshops has been part of the banking system for the country in italy for 400 years. yes. this is a really fascinating thing. using a 75—year—old woman as

an example who are struggling financially and has had to sell any bit of jewellery that she can find at home and this is a reality for a lot of italians who are in need of cash but also looking and turning to banks who are already completely laden with debt. and very wary of taking on any loans, so it means that they are likely to extend credit to italians in desperate need of money. and in the same way that aid packages and job securities that have been introduced to help italians to the crisis, they are about to run out and a lot of people are worried about where they will get their money from and how they will put food on the table. interesting detail here that in one palazzo which houses a lot of officers for some of the major banks and italian bikes, there is a pawnshop is there. this isjust part of the banking process. it seems so different from pawnshops and britain. we get used to seeing them and not very high—end areas. for

estes apparently is a baroque place which has got rather a lovely look about that it sounds like from the description in the new york times. it is part of the bank and italian culture and what they have used during times of famine, times of disease before, and of course it is fascinating that she went to her cupboards and found old things that she had and she feels quite confident that she will get a fair deal if she takes it to these pawnshops which sound totally on like pawnshops we imagine, i likely never had to go to one, that you have in this country. —— i am lucky never to have thought that i am pretty honest and will give you money if it is gold and pay for the gold and silver. and she is 75 in very worried that she won't get help from the state and there is a great deal of unemployment and the state is in trouble. i'm not aware if

pawnshops up here in the uk of having increase in been used or if you who have any some of that pawnshops and london, you can find the ferraris and really high—end cars, can't you when things get tough? —— cars, can't you when things get tough? —— you can sell ferraris. extraordinary things that people are doing to try to raise cash immediately and it shows how media this problem is, so this italian place you have where where woman who normally would've relied on her son but because he lost his job he cannot support her so she has no other option but they sell everything she owns. in the italian economy expected to contract by 13% this year. italy in dire straits in terms of debt levels before the pandemic is now facing even more problems. joy for a tablet editor

this high court action would johnny depp and amber heard. so many headlines and details. —— tabloid editors. some of it really literally washing dirty linen in public. let's go for the cut off my finger tip. the easiest one to discuss. those of you who might be interested in how this happened, there was a thrown bottle of vodka apparently, it can happen to anybody, she apparently threw it at him, he is saying that he was being described as a wife beater, and he was saying it was an equal opportunityjob, they beater, and he was saying it was an equal opportunity job, they were both described as one another. this is heaven for anybody and of course she has walked into the port when this beautiful silk bandanna as a mask, itjust seeing her lovely eyes. it is broken. like a very bad 19405 eyes. it is broken. like a very bad 1940s film. eyes. it is broken. like a very bad 19405 film. it eyes. it is broken. like a very bad 1940s film. it is. but when you look at the stake here. for anyone to sue

at the stake here. for anyone to sue a newspaper, you need a lot of cash. no legal aid. i don't thinkjohnny needs any. but it does mean that all of these details and allegations will be trotted out with total press coverage. there is the ability to report everything unless it is in camera. he has. it is quite extraordinary to watch and i think it was heard today that both parties in this relationship has secretly filmed one another over the course of their time together, but this is quite some action but the sun is coming up against, sojohnny depp barrister told the court today that it could the inflammatory this article, and that it was completely inaccurate to describejohnny depp asa inaccurate to describejohnny depp as a white peter. and johnny depp has accused amber heard of being a

social path. —— describejohnny depp asa social path. —— describejohnny depp as a white peter. it is extraordinary that he has chosen to go through this court case because it is now also public, but clearly he felt very strongly that he wanted to refute the allegations made in this newspaper and so was willing to doa this newspaper and so was willing to do a very publicly in order to clear his name. this last comment. publishing be damned, i suppose if you are sick here in the defects you got, take us to court and will see you in court. —— if your company here. and he is very much cited now with his first wife who said he is a dream boy would have done anything. it was wonderful for her. at the end ofa it was wonderful for her. at the end of a lockdown when many couples may have felt shooting one another, it is the perfect escape is him, this

sort. it is. we have all been living in like that but maybe not for somebody flying but as a back—up. thank you both very much. you will be back in about 40 minutes. hello. well, we've got another dose of rain on the way for wednesday. it's more southern parts of the uk that'll get the rain. now, this is the satellite picture. notice it's actually a conveyor belt of cloud, stretching from the north sea across the uk, ireland and out into the atlantic. and out here in the central north atlantic, not that it's of any huge significance, but this is actually an old tropical storm that's just feeding in warmth and moisture into this band of cloud and rain that's kind of gradually slipping across the country

from west in an easterly direction. there's also a lot of mild air to the south. in fact, 15 degrees, that's the early morning temperature on wednesday, whereas in the glens of scotland early on wednesday, it could be close to freezing in a few areas. remember that cloud stretching out into the atlantic. it's kind of spreading across the uk. certainly, some rain around at times for wales, the midlands, southern england, eventually into east anglia and the southeast. but i think much of yorkshire, northern ireland and scotland in for a bright day with just a few showers. and that trend continues into thursday. it's more southern parts of the country that get the cloud and the outbreaks of rain, so i think for some of us, once again, not a pretty picture. it isn't going to be cold. 20 degrees in london. actually fresher in scotland with the sunshine, where temperatures will be between 14 and 18 celsius. now, on friday, there is a weather front out in the north sea. it's actually a low pressure with its weather front and it will be close enough to drive our weather, so i think showers for the northeast of england, certainly

through yorkshire and into east anglia, and a bit of a breeze as well. the winds actually coming out to the north west on friday, so it could feel a little on the chilly side in some northwestern areas. the best of the weather, i suspect, across western wales and the south as well, as well as the south west, on friday. now, here's the good news. high pressure is expected to build towards the weekend.
