a huge amount. by having to decide between heating and eating. this is not good. this a situation that we are in, because of the price of energy spiking from the energy companies have done really and shall have had, shall had its highest part of the prophet ever recorded. bp has also posted incredibly high profits. so, understandably, some people, labour in particular sing we contact some of that and maybe address the cost of living crisis. now, the conservative response to that, the government response was, no, we want them to invest in green energy and green energy projects because otherwise how are we going to transition to net zero? fair enough, but then you have the head of bp, bernard, saying, actually, we would probably go ahead and invest in all of those things, even if you did tax us. so that has only made the cause for windfall tax grow louder. it is something that there are rumours that brentjohnson is now considering, even though the tories

and his backbenchers don't really like it. now, the energy companies in, look, we did get back, we are investing in green infrastructure and that they are that we are putting these profits back into the uk, but i think at a time when the situation is so severe on so many households and household finances, the idea that these companies can profit out of what is causing the rest of us misery, it doesn't really wash, and i think the government will probably be forced to seriously consider this.— consider this. martin, i'm afraid ou consider this. martin, i'm afraid you haven't _ consider this. martin, i'm afraid you haven't got _ consider this. martin, i'm afraid you haven't got long, _ consider this. martin, i'm afraid you haven't got long, despite i consider this. martin, i'm afraid. you haven't got long, despite the committee think we are going to see this windfall tax are not? i think we well. simply _ this windfall tax are not? i think we well. simply because - this windfall tax are not? i think we well. simply because the - this windfall tax are not? i think i we well. simply because the polls, as we well. simply because the polls, 65 rachel— we well. simply because the polls, as rachel has alluded to there, it's drying _ as rachel has alluded to there, it's drying the — as rachel has alluded to there, it's drying. the chancellor is stock for cash, he's — drying. the chancellor is stock for cash, he's had to spend an awful lot in the _ cash, he's had to spend an awful lot in the pandemic, and that's ultimately of reasonably easy not unpopular and general speaking way to grab— unpopular and general speaking way to grab it _ unpopular and general speaking way to grab it or grab some of it and it won't _ to grab it or grab some of it and it won't solve — to grab it or grab some of it and it won't solve all the problems, but i think that — won't solve all the problems, but i think that probably is the political

outpaced him to the line. the finest of margins between those two, but demarr, in the leading sprinter�*s purple jersey, just edged it. spain'sjuan pedro lopez keeps the overall race lead. for more on that and everything else, you can head over to the bbc sports website. and that's all the sport for now. hello again. we're looking at a fairly windy day today across northern areas of the country, and there's a bit of rain around as well. this is where the rain's been over recent hours, it's been quite wet in northern ireland. a few splashes from northern england, north wales, but the majority of the rain has been working its way across scotland. it will continue to move its way eastwards over the next few hours, the rain ending to become confined, really, to northwestern areas

of scotland, where it will be quite heavy at times, quite windy as well. these are kind of temperatures as we head into the first part of friday morning. so it is a mild start to the day, 9—11 celsius. then for many of us, it's a bright enough start as well. some sunshine to come for england and wales, but a different story for scotland, where low pressure will be pushing this band of rain, particularly across northern and western areas. through the day, there should be an improvement with a bit of sunshine coming through across eastern and southern scotland, but perhaps staying quite damp across northern areas, particularly for the northern isles. the rain reluctant to push away. in the sunshine across england and wales, the winds a little bit later to the south, and there will be a bit more of that sunshine, so warmer, temperatures reaching 22 celsius or so, but quite cool underneath those windier conditions in scotland with that rain as well. well, into the weekend weather prospects, well, we have some thundery showers that we are watching to come up from the south. however, on saturday, should be a largely dry day with sunshine for the majority of the country, given those brighter skies

are working in across scotland, and to a degree northern england and northern ireland as well, we see those temperatures climbing a little bit here. 17 celsius or so for glasgow, 17—18 in parts of northern ireland. but it's in eastern england that we will see that day's highest temperatures — up to 22—23 celsius. saturday night time, there probably will be some thunderstorms coming up from the south. now, these are going to be hit or miss in nature. the first batch of thundery showers probably not bringing a huge amount of rain, but could bring lots of lightning, but, as we get into sunday and then monday as well, there is a greater chance of seeing some heavier downpours develop over time. still on sunday, there will be some places that stay dry with some hazy spells of sunshine. it will start to feel a little bit more humid in the south compared with recent days. 19 celsius in glasgow, still into the low 20s across parts of the south and east, but then monday, we've got rain or thundery showers that will break out a little bit more widely. some of the rain quite heavy.

have a very good night.
