able to cope with it. when i look at my projected fuel bill increased, it makes me wince, but i will be able to do with it one way or another, but for a lot of people, that will be a lot harder, and so those people further down the scale and in terms of income and so on, they are going every really tough time, because heating costs, energy costs, our big proportion of their income and, or their outgoings, so for those people in particular, on top of it, you've got the council tax increases, national insurance increases in all the other ones that are spelled out on the front page, and it is a tsunami of different price increases that are hitting people over the coming days and weeks, and of course politically that is fairly disastrous, isn't it? it is something rishi sunak has said, he would like to be able to help, he said he has helped a bit with measures, but clearly his argument is that we have been for a pandemic,

we have borrowed a lot of money during period and we've got to... we cannot carry on tubing that and some of these teams are unavoidable to have to pay for it all, but whether thatis have to pay for it all, but whether that is true, and as you rightly say, going to the american scenario, we had that scenario in thejimmy carter, and you're making the point, it is not a popular message, and it is not a popular message for people to have to convey and it is often very, very damaging. and sol to have to convey and it is often very, very damaging. and so i think the government is in a difficult position and is not surprising that papers like the member, and indeed the labour party more generally, are on the attack over this and saying the government should be doing more —— papers like the mirror. take the government should be doing more -- papers like the mirror.— -- papers like the mirror. take us to the front _ -- papers like the mirror. take us to the front of _ -- papers like the mirror. take us to the front of the _ -- papers like the mirror. take us to the front of the archer - -- papers like the mirror. take us to the front of the archer post, i to the front of the archer post, martin. —— yorkshire post. i to the front of the archer post, martin. -- yorkshire post. ithink i've said before, _ martin. -- yorkshire post. ithink i've said before, i— martin. -- yorkshire post. ithink i've said before, i am _ martin. -- yorkshire post. ithink i've said before, i am yorkshire l i've said before, i am yorkshire men! it is good news, isn't it? what the... not so much that, although it

is good international cricket will go back to headingley, but the reform package has been voted through to allow that, and the reform package is driven by the need to deal with the aftermath of the azeem rafiq racism controversy, which has brought shame, unfortunately, in my home county, and these governance proposals are not actually about directly that, but about setting up the right framework and ensuring that the new chairman is actually appointed... there some controversy about his status and whether technically had been appointed the right way or not. all of this has been cleared by this vote in these votes today. therefore it allows the club to go forward, and hopefully, in effect, put itself right. and hopefully, in effect, put itself riuht. ., ., ., ., right. yeah, matthew, we have got a been a minute _

with me, and then we will have the latest news on newsday, but before that the latest from the bbc sport centre. good evening. i'm tolsen tollett and this is your sports news, where we start with football. arsenal have been knocked out of the women's champions league by wolfsburg in the quarterfinals. despite a fighting draw in the first leg last week, they were dominated by the german side in the second leg, losing 2—0 on the night and 3—1 on aggregate, as reginaldo rosario reports. after an evenly contested first leg, arsenal would have fancied their chances of making a first women's champions league semifinal since 2013. in wolfsburg, though, they would have to beat one of europe's elite in front of their exuberant fans, although that entailed a bit of a clean—up before kick—off. but early on, a familiar face would make sure that arsenal's night would not be easy.
10:52 pm
jill roord spent two seasons with the gunners before making the move to wolfsburg last summer. and there she was, taking full advantage of some confusion in the box. arsenal were on the back foot throughout, and eventually wolfsburg made their dominance count in the second half. leah williamson's attempt at clearing a cross ending up in her own net, the gunners' hopes slowly fading away. a quick response might have served up a thrilling finale, but first the crossbar denied vivianne miedema, before williamson's follow—up was clawed out by almuth schult. disappointment for arsenal again in europe, but for wolfsburg, the reigning champions barcelona await in the semifinals. reginaldo rosario, bbc news. seven—time champions league winners lyon are also through to the semi—finals. they overturned a 2—1 deficit from the first leg againstjuventus, winning 3—1 on the night and 4—3 on aggregate to set up an all—french semifinal with paris saint—germain. england will discover
10:53 pm
their fifa world cup 2022 opponents in friday's draw. one of wales, scotland or ukraine will also be in qatar this november and december but will not know until the remaining european play—offs in june. ahead of that draw, the bbc�*s dan roan spoke exclusively to tournament chief hassan al—thawadi and started by asking him about migrant workers' rights. i don't think any country today in the world can claim they have the ideal system in place. always, progress needs to be made. we acknowledge that progress needs to be made, but we ask is also to acknowledge the work that's been done. another area of this is transparency around migrant worker deaths. and the reason why there's concern around this is that, without that knowledge and certainty, it's difficult to establish the reason, and therefore a bereaved family may not receive compensation that they're due. is that an area of concern? could more be done? no matter what you do, nothing is going to compensate the loss of life, but we've tried our best — within our authority — to be able to provide the relevant compensation for the families.
10:54 pm
but beyond your projects, though? but what we've done is, as i said, every death, we've investigated, tried to find the root cause, and tried to ensure these tragedies do not occur and tried to take steps towards preventing these things, any such tragedies, from occurring. qatar's right to stage this year's world cup was publicly questioned at the fifa congress in doha. the president of the norwegian federation said there was "no room" for hosts who cannot legally guarantee the safety of lg btqi+ people. lise klaveness demanded fifa "act as a role model" and ensure it takes a more ethical approach to selecting hosts in future. premier league clubs will be able to make five substitutions each game from next season after shareholders agreed to change the rules. the substitutions can be made on three occasions during a match, plus at half—time, and a total of nine substitutes can be named on the teamsheet.
10:55 pm
certainly, having experienced it over the course of the season, i would be very much in favour of it. i was probably one of the ones at the beginning, was more to say that "let's just stay with three and see where we're at "and take a look at it." but certainly, having had a look at it over the course of this season, i would say that, primarily for the health of the players, i think the five substitutions would work much better. jack buckner is leaving his role as chief executive of british swimming to take up the same role at uk athletics. the 60—year—old oversaw team gb�*s record success in the pool at the tokyo olympics, where they won eight medals, with 26 more won at the paralympics. the former middle—distance runner replaces interim chief executive mark munro. a late drop goal to harry smith saw wigan warriors beat hull fc 19—18 to move top of rugby league's super league. hull lead by six points with 15
10:56 pm
minutes to go when the warriors levelled matters thanks to an individual piece of brilliance by jai field that saw him beat a defender and race 50 metres to score a converted try. and then with two minutes remaining, harry smith's drop goal from just over 30 metres out put his side in front and they held on for the win. las vegas has been announced as the latest city to host a formula one grand prix. the race will be in november next year, at night, and the 3.8—mile track will include a portion of the nevada city's famous strip. it will be the third us—based race on the fi circuit. four—time world champion sebastian vettel will begin his formula one season at the australian grand prix after recovering from coronavirus. the aston martin driver was ruled out of the season opening bahrain grand prix, then failed to produce a negative test in time for the second race in saudi arabia.
10:57 pm
and for all the latest on the opening round of the first women's golf major of the year, the chevron championship, you can head to the revamped bbc sport website. england's georgia hall in action as she tries to add a second major championship after winning the women's british open in 2018. but it's goodbye for now. hello. not as many of you will see snow flurries around on friday, but the day still begins on a very wintry note. a widespread frost across the country, icy conditions too, especially across eastern areas, where those sleet and snow showers continue through the night and into the morning. a few mainly rain showers across the western fringes of wales and cornwall, too, and the showers most frequent towards the southeast corner, where we'll see strong to gale force winds initially. improving here, though, through the day as the showers become fewer in number. a few showers, though, popping up elsewhere, and during the afternoon, mainly rain and sleet. and we'll see a band of cloud bringing rain and hill snow across northern, western scotland and eventually northern ireland.
10:58 pm
temperatures still below average for the early part of april, but it won't feel quite as cold as it did through thursday. into friday night, that rain and hill snow spreads its way southwards into wales. one or two wintry showers will continue elsewhere. that will give an ice risk, but it will be a cold start to the weekend, with a widespread frost. for many, a dry and sunny start, however. a few showers cropping up through the day, as we'll see again on sunday, but a lot of dry weather too.
