good afternoon and welcome to the bbc�*s news at one. from today, millions of people will begin to pay more tax as the controversial rise in national insurance contributions takes effect. it's predicted to raise an extra £11 billion this financial year. not everyone is affected — lower earners will actually pay less national insurance. the government has promised to spend the money on social care and easing pressure on the nhs. the increase breaks a conservative election manifesto pledge, but borisjohnson says the rise is "necessary, fair and responsible". this report from our consumer affairs correspondent colletta smith.

business is getting back on track at this this growth. but now they will be paying more national insurance of the wages of the 25 staff. personally for me if i look at my wage i think it is not to much but as i look at it as a business and how we will have to pay that on everybody�*s wages it adds up really quick. everybody's wages it adds up really auick. ~ . everybody's wages it adds up really i uick. . ., ., , ., everybody's wages it adds up really uick. ~ ., ., , ., ., everybody's wages it adds up really uiick, . ., ., , ., ., everybody's wages it adds up really iuick. ., ., , ., ., quick. what does it mean for you as a business. — quick. what does it mean for you as a business, how— quick. what does it mean for you as a business, how will— quick. what does it mean for you as a business, how will you _ quick. what does it mean for you as a business, how will you cover- quick. what does it mean for you as a business, how will you cover that l a business, how will you cover that cost? ~ , ., , ., cost? we will try to bring more custom income _ cost? we will try to bring more custom income of _ cost? we will try to bring more custom income of the - cost? we will try to bring more custom income of the only - cost? we will try to bring more custom income of the only way i cost? we will try to bring more i custom income of the only way we cost? we will try to bring more - custom income of the only way we can do with. we just need bums on seats. that means more staff, some were costa. ., ., ., , ., , costa. from today lots of the staff here will be _ costa. from today lots of the staff here will be paying _ costa. from today lots of the staff here will be paying extra - here will be paying extra national insurance on their wages. the next few months you will have just under £10,000 of your wages tax—free and then instead of paying 12% national insurance you will have to top up to 13.25% and more for higher earners.
1:04 pm
but afterfacing 13.25% and more for higher earners. but after facing criticism the government have tried to soften the blow, so from july to the amount that you can earn before you pay tax will increase to 12 and a half thousand pounds, and then he will be charged at higher 13.2% rate for national insurance. the government say they will use the extra money for funding say they will use the extra money forfunding health say they will use the extra money for funding health and social care but it is an extra pressure from middle earners.— but it is an extra pressure from middle earners. you have to help families in _ middle earners. you have to help families in anyway _ middle earners. you have to help families in anyway we _ middle earners. you have to help families in anyway we can - middle earners. you have to help families in anyway we can and - middle earners. you have to helpl families in anyway we can and that is why we are putting another t20 to blame pounds in supporting families through what are in question by top times goes by the end of the pandemic that the global inflation problem, the energy price spike we are seeing, we are abating that, helping people, what we are doing todayis helping people, what we are doing today is unquestionably the right thing for country and the writing for the nhs. thing for country and the writing forthe nhs-_ thing for country and the writing forthenhs. ., , , ,, , for the nhs. loss of the businesses and employees _ for the nhs. loss of the businesses and employees who _ for the nhs. loss of the businesses and employees who lost _ for the nhs. loss of the businesses and employees who lost the - for the nhs. loss of the businesses and employees who lost the most l for the nhs. loss of the businesses i and employees who lost the most over the last couple of years now feel

1:06 pm
yes, indeed it has. this has been controversial, controversial because it breaks a conservative manifesto promise, not to raise taxes, and controversial because of the context, the fact that so many other people are saying squeezes on their pockets just now which will be made worse by having to pay more tax, but from the prime minister this morning we have heard a pretty full throated defence of this policy because he argues that as other crises mean this is essential, the crisis in nhs backlogs, he says that can't be solved after the pandemic unless you put the money in. likewise the government is to grapple with that issue, that various governments have failed to grapple with, which is how you regress questions over how to pay for adult social care in england. the prime exercise that in the next couple of years this will start to solve that problem as well. that doesn't mean the criticism will go away. labour leader sir?
1:07 pm
that doesn't mean the criticism will go away. labour leadersir? saying this morning this is the wrong tax at the wrong time and locate working people at time when they can least afford it. that is an argument that makes many in government nervous, the threshold in which you pay national insurance will go from july which will save millions of people and it is also why the chancellor said from 2024 he wants to cut taxes. that is with half an eye on the next general election but it is down the road, it is not coming yet and many willjudge this on whether it delivers on those promises on the nhs and social care.— with me is our health editor, hugh pym. how's this money going to be spent? the government are saying that £39 billion will be spent over the next three years on health and social care as a result of this levy, 3 billion or a bit more will be for the devolved administrations who will decide how they spend it, then
1:08 pm
there is five and i have billion or so and social care, the rest on health in england and this mistress i will result in more operations being carried out and more diagnostics in nhs, meeting the challenges ahead. but a couple of portland point the notes. this health and care levy is not some permanent form of tax for health and social care. it is a rebranded increase in national insurance, so if the nhs needs more money in three years' time, they won't raise a levy, they will go and borrow the money, so there is rather a loose association between the two. in terms of the historic trends, and you look back across the history of the nhs, health spending across the uk after inflation has gone up by about 3.6% a year from the 1950s. it was much lower under austerity going back into the previous decade. the latest figures though is stilljust a little bit below that 3.6% long run average. that is a context at
1:09 pm
the nhs will have to deal with the ongoing costs of covid, infection—control, covid patients, vaccinations, testing, they will need to find money for health service pay and of course money to try to bring down that large backlog. try to bring down that large backloi. . ~ try to bring down that large backloi. ., ,, , ., and if you want to know how the national insurance increase will affect you, head to our website, where you'll find details according to salary bands. we can nowjoin my colleague clive myrie, who has the latest on the situation in ukraine, from the capital kyiv. good afternoon to you. russian forces are continuing to shell areas in the east and south—east of country. their offensive in the southern port city of mariupol, which has been blockaded and relentlessly bombarded for more than a month, grinds on. an estimated 130,000 people remain trapped, in appalling conditions. as well as their ground assault, the russians are flying more than 200 missions a day, again targeting mariupol,
1:10 pm
but also the city of izyum, that's according to british and american defence officials. the uk is now preparing more sanctions against russia, likely to target what's being described as moscow's �*military ambitions,�* while nato foreign ministers are meeting in brussels, to discuss sending further support to ukrainian forces. let's get the latest from our correspondent emma vardy. trapped in a nightmare, but clinging on. while the residents of mariupol remain cut off from the outside world, these are the images that russia wants you to see, i'd from russia wants you to see, i'd from russia being distributed inside the besieged city. but the footage is tightly controlled. around them there is little left to destroy. but there is little left to destroy. but the relentless bombing of mariupol continues. efforts to organise a mass evacuation of so far failed.

1:13 pm
they believe moscow's aim is now to capture the whole region but ukrainian forces continue to slow the process stop successfully targeting the russian military in the air and on the ground. here a russian attack helicopter reported to have been destroyed by an anti—tank missile. but ukraine needs more than sanctions says presidency landscape. he wants more military support. he is going on world leaders to hold russia accountable. the horrific images of civilian deaths that have emerged in recent days he says are just the beginning. and nieces lunchtime that some people have actually managed to get to relative safety from mariupol. the red cross team has led a convoy of buses and private cars carrying it has been tying in the balance of the past week with multiple failed attempt to get in. today some
1:14 pm
success. we're hearing about 500 people have been brought out of the city at last to safety. it will be a great relief to people who have suffered there over the past weeks and months but there are still tens of thousands of people who were left behind under bbc has been hearing from the mayor of mariupol says the city is still under constant bombardment, around 100 missile strikes was the last day alone at the humanitarian crisis there continues to worsen. because the experiences of the red cross over the past week i've shown is just how difficult a rescue mission is, sometimes security guarantees don't hold and you matter corridors are shelled, so significant today that 500 people had been evacuated and attempts to rescue more will continue. some good news there. many thanks, emma vardy reporting live from lviv in western ukraine. well, the world is still processing and working out how to respond
1:15 pm
to the terrible images of recent days coming out of areas just to the north of our position here in kyiv. these are towns and villages like bucha, and borodyanka, that russian troops occupied for several weeks, and where there's evidence of civilians being tortured and killed, with their bodies left in the streets, or dumped in mass graves. i've been speaking to the ukrainian prime minister, denys shmyhal, who told me the west must respond with much tougher sanctions, and that russia's forces are trying to wipe ukraine off the face of the earth. i am absolutely sure that this is genocide against ukrainian nation from russian side. absolutely. reporter: do you think now there is a moral imperative to stop buying russian oil and gas? paying money to russia and paying to russian budget
1:16 pm
to finance this crime, these killings from russian side. so they have to stop buying gas? absolutely, because buying this, they pay money for killings which we have seen in ukraine. is it blood money? absolutely. that is what it is? absolutely. for me, for our people, absolutely, because russian budget is budget of terrorism and not only against ukraine, against all the civilised world, its blood money because they use this money to buy weapons from which they kill ukrainians. ukrainian prime minister that speaking me earlier. jenny hilljoins me from moscow. is there any suggestion from the kremlin of how russia might respond to the cutting off of oil and gas?
1:17 pm
i think ithink vladimir i think vladimir putin might now probably questions perhaps justifiably whether the west would really walk away from russian oil and gas. he quite frequently tells russians that western sanctions are also hurting the west and he knows just how divisive that particular potential sanction is amongst western european countries. the kremlin has repeatedly though either threatened reprisals for existing sanctions or is threatening to bring more counter sanctions interplay. we have to wait and see there is no doubt that sanctions are taking effect here, prices are going up and people are losing theirjobs. vladimir putin is actually making it difficult to hide the fact that sanctions will hurt people, it is
1:18 pm
important that the frames there still is an act of aggression on the part of the west. he says the west has been seeking an excuse to impose more sanctions on russia and has been waging an economic war against his country for years and the sanctions are the price that russians must pay for freedom and independence. russians must pay for freedom and independence-— russians must pay for freedom and independence. well, nato is meeting this afternoon to discuss what more could be done. nick beake is at nato headquarters in brussels. are we getting any sense of what we might get from that meeting today? apologies, we seem to have lost that contact. you can follow all the latest developments on the war in ukraine by going to our online live coverage. follow it on bbc.co.uk/news

1:20 pm
legal in england and wales. divorce affects tens of thousands of couples and families every year and until now in over half of those applications a person has had to blame their partner in legal documents. no—fault divorce already exists in scotland, but the so—called blame rules still apply in northern ireland. our legal affairs correspondent dominic casciani reports. happy family life. what so many of us want. but sometimes it comes with an emotional cost. in 2018, olivia and her then husband realised their marriage was over and they had to find a way out of it for the good of themselves and their children. but when she met a divorce lawyer, she was in for a shock. olivia was told she'd have to legally blame her husband if she wanted to get on with it quickly. i felt very uncomfortable with this right from the beginning because they seemed to be very much sort of pointing the finger, and that someone was at fault. it felt that it was not going to be useful to the divorce
1:21 pm
process, especially when young children are involved. i think apportioning blame sort of fuels the flame a little, and it didn't seem like a great way to set up co—parenting in the future. hi, olivia, it's nice to see you again. the couple got help from amicable, a divorce support service, but still needed to wait two years to legally split because they had chosen not to blame each other. the more tension between us, you know, obviously would have had an impact on them, it would have impacted our ability to share custody, you know. because as it is, we help each other out all the time, you know, we share a car, we share a dog. we're, you know, happy to look after the kids on different evenings. and we're very flexible. up until now, we've had a fault based divorce system in england and wales. someone has to be accused of adultery, desertion, or unreasonable behaviour. if one partner disagrees, the couple must wait five years. from today, one or both partners can declare the marriage is over in a statement to a court.
1:22 pm
judges will no longer ask for a reason. the same rules apply to same sex unions. divorce and family lawyers say it's a revolution that places people and their wellbeing first. this new law will be more humane. i think it also recognises the dignity of the people wanting to be divorced, and it gives them some autonomy as well. what i'm hoping is that that sets the tone and the culture, and it will roll over into resolving financial matters and children matters, most importantly. divorce lawyers say there could be an increase in applications, but the legal steps will take longer. there's now a 20 week pause to allow couples to think again. time also to divide finances and agree arrangements for children. but campaigners say the new law means more separating couples will find a happier life without added emotional and financial pain. dominic casciani, bbc news.
1:23 pm
scientists have warned that the number of covid cases in older age groups who are most at risk from the virus is continuing to increase. the react study, by imperial college london, suggests that more than 6% of england's population were infected last month — double the rate in february. but the data also indicates that cases may have peaked in children and younger adults. british airways has cancelled four more flights at heathrow airport due to covid—related staff shortages. this is on top of 74 services ba had previously withdrawn. easyjet have also cancelled around 50 flights including 30 at gatwick airport today. thousands of holidaymakers have seen their easter plans affected because airlines and airports do not have enough staff to meet the recovery in demand since covid travel restrictions were lifted. from today all restaurants in england that employ more than 250 people will have to print calorie information on their menus. it's part of the government's
1:24 pm
efforts to reduce obesity rates, but there are concerns it could have a negative impact on people with eating disorders. our health correspondent dominic hughes reports. the lunch rush is just getting going, and the manchester branch of the vapiano restaurant chain is one of the businesses that will be displaying calories on menus from today. the boss of vapiano says it's right that customers are offered choice. we'd like to be able to give people access to the information to enable them to make informed decisions about the food that they're consuming. the new regulations mean calories must be displayed clearly at the point of choice. normally a menu along with the statement, "adults need around 2000 calories a day." the new rules will only apply to businesses that employ at least 250 people, so smaller restaurants are exempt. the government hopes that providing more information on calories in food will help people make healthier choices and so reduce obesity rates. many larger restaurant, fast food,
1:25 pm
and pub chains already display calories on menus and have done so for years. wow, look at that. but the idea received a mixed reception among diners in manchester. yeah, it would make a difference. i'd choose what i thought was the healthiest option. you know, i take a keen interest on what goes into my body and, yeah, i'd definitely be interested. we should accept our own responsibility for what we eat. people should get on it and decide to look after themselves. i don't count the calories. i'm young and healthy. i don't think it really affects me in any way. i come to a restaurant- because i go there knowing what i want to eat. i go there knowing that it's going to be a big meal. - i don't go there thinking, "oh, i want to eat healthy - at this restaurant today!" there have been some concerns about the impact that highlighting the calories in meals could have on people struggling with an eating disorder, who can become very focused on calorie counting. and at this slimming group, they know that while an awareness of calories may be helpful, there's much more to a healthy diet.
1:26 pm
well done! the calories on their own aren't going to make that much of a difference. i think you need to know what else is in there, don't you? even your vegetables are like, braised in butter or oils, just so they glisten under the light. thinking about the fibre content, the protein, the things that obviously fill you up, rather thanjust a number next to a dish. because obviously that can just be kind of misleading in terms of actually what's inside that food itself. the governments in scotland and wales are consulting on whether to introduce similar regulations, but the big question is what impact these measures will have in the fight against rising obesity levels. dominic hughes bbc news. ed sheeran has won his legal battle over claims part of his track shape of you was copied from a song by another artist. the grime artist sami chokri — who performs under the name sami switch — had accused him of ripping off his track, oh why. but the high court ruled ed sheeran
1:27 pm
had neither deliberately not subconsciously copied the earlier song. our correspondent mark savage is outside the high court. this is a case going back four years when sami chokri went to the music royalties society and said he wanted to be added as a co—writer to the number one hit shape of you by ed sheeran. from that point on a percentage of royalties were frozen and ed sheeran and his co—writers came to the high court to ask for the claim to be dismissed. today the judge has ruled in theirfavour saying ed sheeran did not copy the song oh why by sami chokri and in fact he had never even heard it. here is how the trial unfiltered. # i'm in love with the shape of you. # we push and pull like a magnet... #. ed sheeran's shape of you was the biggest selling single of 2017 and spent 14 weeks at number one. but shortly after its release, he was accused of copying this line...
1:28 pm
# oh—i—oh—i—oh—i—oh—i. # i'm in love with your body. #. ..from a song called oh why by the grime artist sami chokri. lawyers for mr chokri, seen here on the left, called sheeran a magpie who borrows ideas that he doesn't always acknowledge. in court, andrew sutcliffe qc said, "my clients are not shaggy, rihanna, coldplay or jay—z. if they were, they would have been treated in a very different way." mr sheeran denied this and said he always credits lesser known writers if he uses parts of their songs. # the club isn't the best place to find a lover, so the bar is where i go. # me and my friends sat at the table doing shots, drinking, fussing and we talk slow... #. the court heard how shape of you was written in under an hour in october 2016. lawyers for mr chokri said such
1:29 pm
speed was indicative of copying. # oh—i—oh—i—oh—i—oh—i. # i'm in love with your body... #. the star and his co—writers, johnny mcdaid and steve mack, denied ever having heard the song. their lawyer said the speed of the writing only indicated sheeran's genius. the issue of whether sheeran had access to a copy of why was the key to the trial. if he was unaware of mr chokri's song, the similarities in shape of you would be a coincidence, not copyright infringement. on the witness stand it was put to the star that he must have been aware of mr chokri's work because they both had videos on the same youtube channel, they shared friends, and because mr chokri had messaged sheeran on twitter. in response, the star said, "this is all stuff that you're saying. this isn't stuff that's true." the trial lasted for three weeks at the beginning of march. ed sheeran, who launched the proceedings in an attempt to clear his name, attended court
1:30 pm
every day, listening attentively to the arguments. judge anthony zacaroli has now ruled in his favour, saying there was no attempt to copy mr chokri's song. ina in a video message ed sheeran said he was pleased by the verdict. there is a culture — he was pleased by the verdict. there is a culture that _ he was pleased by the verdict. there is a culture that a _ he was pleased by the verdict. there is a culture that a claim _ he was pleased by the verdict. there is a culture that a claim is _ he was pleased by the verdict. there is a culture that a claim is made - is a culture that a claim is made with the idea that settlement will be cheaper than taking it to court and that is damaging to the songwriting industry. that decision could save the star millions of pounds in lost royalties. mark savage, bbc news. # ..something brand new. # i'm in love with the shape of you... #. time for a look at the weather. here's ben rich. and it has taken you more than an hour to put this together! you might not like this, — hour to put this together! you might not like this, it — hour to put this together! you might not like this, it may _ hour to put this together! you might not like this, it may not _ hour to put this together! you might not like this, it may not be - hour to put this together! you might not like this, it may not be music . not like this, it may not be music to your ears but there are some big
