so, let's begin. this begins with nazanin zhagari—ratcliffe and her husband richard. the news conference following her release from iran and if i might start with you, is absolutely fascinating watching and listening to it, wasn't it because, her frustration with what had gone on was very clear, wasn't it? yes as ou sa , on was very clear, wasn't it? yes as you say. was _ on was very clear, wasn't it? yes as you say. was very — on was very clear, wasn't it? yes as you say, was very touching - on was very clear, wasn't it? yes as you say, was very touching press i you say, was very touching press conference in many ways after which she has been through it it's a story thatis she has been through it it's a story that is captured the nation and there was a very touching moments and talk about her relationship, making up for lost time, her husband, and where there was a bit more of a grit you could say, in terms of uk government, actually, when her husband was talking about

priest of the government,, i have much praise for the british government i come it should not of been that long. and during her stint in the iranianjoke been that long. and during her stint in the iranian joke which she exacerbated and made it a lot more drawn out they needed to be. and extracting herfrom drawn out they needed to be. and extracting her from the country. and for the uk government response, the foreign secretary, and gave evidence of the select committee and said that she was teaching journalism, iranians quicklyjumped on that to bring another charge and ultimately, the biggest problem is the iranian government and how they operate. she

not do it but the chancellor was pretty clear that borrowing is not going to be a way to fund this and that's how we got the tax rise and they are little bit unhappy. so, if they are little bit unhappy. so, if the situation with lots of ministers who privately been against it, but i think after party did where things are shaky for borisjohnson and real concern of the confidence with the prime minister and lots of tory mps have to ditch this. and then, boris johnson did not do it because rishi sue next said that would be unfunded spending and that's what's damaging to the tory party. and without moving the threshold of when you pay it, lower earning on the scale, i think it would be a strange move now for a per capita and defending it to the exit completely and tax cuts of other areas and to the party, that

is the direction they're going in. is that your view as well? it made me lauth is that your view as well? it made me laugh a _ is that your view as well? it made me laugh a bit — is that your view as well? it made me laugh a bit from _ is that your view as well? it made me laugh a bit from an _ is that your view as well? it made me laugh a bit from an unnamed l me laugh a bit from an unnamed cabinet _ me laugh a bit from an unnamed cabinet minister this as there are a number— cabinet minister this as there are a number of— cabinet minister this as there are a number of us were not happy of both the national— number of us were not happy of both the national insurance rates. they've _ the national insurance rates. they've made that clear in many months — they've made that clear in many months and the prime minister the chancellor— months and the prime minister the chancellor seemed determined to press _ chancellor seemed determined to press ahead with it and much of it briced _ press ahead with it and much of it briced into— press ahead with it and much of it priced into calculations going ahead on the _ priced into calculations going ahead on the payroll and the backlog. and what we're — on the payroll and the backlog. and what we're expecting is for rishi sue nack— what we're expecting is for rishi sue mack to make more definitive signals— sue mack to make more definitive signals about tax cuts potentially coming _ signals about tax cuts potentially coming into the autumn. to speak to the treasury. — coming into the autumn. to speak to the treasury, this is not the biggest _ the treasury, this is not the biggest fiscal event of the year. and we'll— biggest fiscal event of the year. and we'll may have a better idea exactly _ and we'll may have a better idea exactly of — and we'll may have a better idea exactly of what the global energy price exactly of what the global energy brice out — exactly of what the global energy

yes, exactly. as we move away from these,in yes, exactly. as we move away from these, in terms of moving to electric cars, we do, do we have all the charging points we need for that? and the need to work out how this is going to impact revenue and are you going to bring in revenue that when using electric cars. but the times reports is toll roads and charging people, we have one major toll road in creighton at the moment and adding to that. the general concept of road pricing has been raised before and i think one of the concerns of doing this as i think there's a sense of government that there's a sense of government that the article picks up perhaps the main roads, murder —— motorways. two wide—ranging, they

could be a big backlash from mps that will like it and also they're paying for something, not used to paying for something, not used to paying for, it's a new charge evening if the beep and it elsewhere. so, it is politically tricky, that's not to say that it's worth doing and you will be an uphill battle if you do bring it up. tricky and controversial, i would think. �* , , think. and there is very good campaign — think. and there is very good campaign group _ think. and there is very good campaign group caucus - think. and there is very good i campaign group caucus among think. and there is very good - campaign group caucus among the think. and there is very good _ campaign group caucus among the tory party that— campaign group caucus among the tory party that manages the sea of pretty much _ party that manages the sea of pretty much anything to do with roads and they managed to keep fuel duty frozen _ they managed to keep fuel duty frozen in — they managed to keep fuel duty frozen in the probably see a fuel duty car— frozen in the probably see a fuel duty car there in the statement, so, anything _ duty car there in the statement, so, anything that is seen as an additional tax on motorists is something that tory mps find very unpalatable, of course what one can say is _ unpalatable, of course what one can say is that _ unpalatable, of course what one can say is that this is not an

in recent weeks, but it is back on the front page of the yorkshire post which is reporting key witnesses are to be interviewed and when i read the story, some people might wonder, why they're only being interviewed now. is this taking and in the smart of time or is itjust me? it now. is this taking and in the smart of time or is itjust me?— of time or is it 'ust me? it does seem to be — of time or is itjust me? it does seem to be going _ of time or is itjust me? it does seem to be going on, _ of time or is itjust me? it does seem to be going on, they - of time or is itjust me? it does| seem to be going on, they have of time or is itjust me? it does i seem to be going on, they have a of time or is itjust me? it does - seem to be going on, they have a lot of things to do what you think given the amount of evidence out, which but the unpublished report, having deposited with the police investigation, she passed over evidence and so you think the be quite a lot to work so restarting and fresh, they were out to those alleged to be involved and also gave the chancellor and downing street,

and i think what is interesting is where this is going to lead and for interviewing key witnesses, i think it's going to be in some quarters, i'm not sure if people are refusing or they're not going to take a penalty test and be there to defend themselves and clearly, when a more advanced stage than this but as to whether network would required of clarity, it's unknown and i get a sense that some boris johnson's analyse whether this wrapped up now, when you're in the peak of the ukraine crisis, this drags on, the more irritating and potentially problematic it will be for downing street. time, the old enemy has caught up with us once again. next time, i'm sure. that's it for the papers tonight. all the day's sport next,

about ground effect. a couple of technical terms. and they are working on it, they have already improved from the tests of two weeks before in barcelona and bahrain. i'm pretty sure they will be fighting back. and that's all the sport for now. fine weather is going to last all week long. it is because the area of high pressure isjust so week long. it is because the area of high pressure is just so extensive across europe. it is blocking the atmosphere in keeping things sunny for many major cities across the continent. we'rejust for many major cities across the continent. we're just on the edge of this high, so little bit more cloud here and also we have winds coming in from the south, so a warm atmosphere over us right now. it won't be as cold as the last few, generally frost free and a touch of frost on the northeast of the uk.

read from the word go, mostly sunny skies but fair weather cloud will build through the morning in the afternoon and turning into a few scattered showers across central areas of the uk but will miss that. mid to high teens and widely one or two spots will reached 20 celsius. and there is a confirmation of this fine weather lasting 88th plans, at the moment, it's looking decent enough.
