with the chancellor giving every household at least four hundred pounds to help with bills. the mirror says it's "about time" for the measures — pointing out the conservatives voted against a similar plan by labour last week. the guardian says the plan will be funded by a windfall tax on energy companies — which the paper describes as a "remarkable u—turn" by the chancellor. the i has the same story, and quotes the institute for fiscal studies, who describe it as �*taking from high earners and giving to the poor�*. the telegraph highlights comments by rishi sunak that the conservatives�* tax and spending plans are more generous than labour�*s. the daily mail describes those plans as a �*splurge�* — and asks when the tories will get back to cutting tax. the times focuses on the differences of opinion within the conservative party at the chancellor�*s plans. the angle in the financial times is the anger expressed by energy companies as the sector is hit by an extra 25% levy

11:35 pm
unprecedented heights of the cannot absorb. he has spent many, particularly on the low end which is been a bit of a blind spot for the chancellor and definitely welcome to. but for me, the key thing is one of the interventions. he is almost taking this thing off the cost of living christmas for a lot of people going into the winter but it�*s a one—off payment and it much rather have seen him bolster social security so that we rebuild the safety net which is why so many people are on the brink and so vulnerable and have these food banks to bolster it so we have that protection notjust to bolster it so we have that protection not just for to bolster it so we have that protection notjust for this winter, but going into next winter and as undressing these cost measures. the mirror says about time rishi sunak, helping after they demanded it. this

11:40 pm
because some of these energy groups have not banked with this being quite as expenses as it turned out to be. and the chancellor issued that he was considering trying to target extraordinary profit. they are not in this current plan but they think they could be and what do you suspect? like they think they could be and what do you susnect?— they think they could be and what do you susoect?— you suspect? like i think they're ex-tectin you suspect? like i think they're exoecting over— you suspect? like i think they're expecting over one _ you suspect? like i think they're expecting over one year - you suspect? like i think they're expecting over one year when i you suspect? like i think they're| expecting over one year when hit you suspect? like i think they're i expecting over one year when hit of the chancellor was saying and if necessary, he hopes that he can withdraw it before then if the economy settles down and returns to a more stable situation and he suggested in an interview from lewis earlier that things can get a bit more back to normal next year and i think that�*s a bit more ambitious but, he is keen to withdraw the soonest possible. it�*s what longer than these energy companies were expecting and so, we do have this odd situation where there saying,

11:42 pm
say that�*s going to be skyrocketing levels and that�*s also correct. i think the thing to look out for is the tax deduction piece because it�*s quite a hefty gift bag on the kind of profits that these profits are making and the devil will be in the detail because it seems to be giving them that tax incentive to do extraction of fossil fuels, rather the investment of renewables of the government needs if you�*re going to hit med zero and build up our energy security. so, iam not sure hit med zero and build up our energy security. so, i am not sure that the tax measure actually helps, i think it helps politics of the backbenchers but not sure the your measured they�*ll get any more investment in the economy but critically, the renewable investment that we need. we critically, the renewable investment that we need-— critically, the renewable investment thatwe need. ~ ~ ., ., . ., that we need. we know the chancellor has not that we need. we know the chancellor has rrot been — that we need. we know the chancellor has not been quite _ that we need. we know the chancellor has not been quite as _ that we need. we know the chancellor has not been quite as enthusiastic- has not been quite as enthusiastic on green policies is perhaps number

11:46 pm
striking photograph of the queen and the late princess, a great surprise seeing photos of the queen in the run—up to thejubilee. this one is a bit special because this is home movie footage that apparently we have not been allowed to see before. as we run up to thejubilee, they�*ll be opening up a bit more and i think this is the snapshot from something thatis this is the snapshot from something that is going to be in the documentary and i suspect we�*ll get many more glimpses into the queen�*s life and aspects of it that we have not seen before in part because i think, this is quite a milestone at a point of transition for the royal family and i think there will be an attempt to use it to open up and make it more relatable and to speak to me be a more open, more modern

good evening. this is your update from the bbc sport centre. great britain�*s dan evans has lost his second match at the french open, against sweden�*s mikael ymer. more on that on that in a moment. but first. women�*s top seed iga swiatek has booked her place in the last 32. the 2020 roland garros champion was in a hurry, as she thrashed american alison riske 6—0, 6-2 in a little over an hour. it�*s remarkably her 30th consecutive win. she now faces montenegro�*s danka kovinic in round 3. meanwhile a shock earlier today. last year�*s wimbledon finalist karolina pliskova went down in straight sets to the world number 227. france�*s leolia jeanjean dispatching the 8th seed 6—2 6—2.
11:52 pm
i think the score is a bit too brutal, i would say. i think the beginning, i think i could play a bit different at some points and i could have many more games but, so far, it�*s not working and overall, there was not many. i don�*t have a horrible feeling but of course, i�*m not happy about it. i just want to give credit to her and i think she played a great match. elsewhere — daniil medvedev crusied through to round 3 with a straight sets win over serbia�*s laslo djere. he faces another serb, 28th seed miomir kecmanovic in the last 32. and last year�*s runner up stefanos tsitsipas was on court for over four hours against zdenek kolar of the czech republic. the greek eventually won over 4 sets. as for dan evans then. he�*s missed out on reaching the third round on the parisian clay for the first time in his career, he lost against sweden�*s mikeal ymer, in 4 sets. to football and just this week, the england boss gareth southgate condemed the recent set of pitch—invasions, describing it as a national embarrassment. maheta malongo — the ceo of the professional
11:53 pm
footballers association — says that more must be done to protect the players. we know that the big game will typically involve certain reactions from the crowd, especially if it�*s a positive outcome and i think the players, maybe not enough preventative measures have been put in place by the people who need to make sure they�*re safe at work and i think what they are asking is why is this happening and what have we learned from what has happened and what can we do better going forward? i think it�*s a question of notjust looking back and looking for people, i think it�*s what can we learn from what has happened and making sure that the people responsible for the security in the stadium but the proper measures in place so this will not happen again in the future. and you can listen and subscribe to the sports desk via bbc sounds for more on that story.

historically, northern ireland selects athletes of a range of sports to outside of the commonwealth games, who have chosen to represent great britain and northern ireland and the olympic games. with two months to go into the games, the organisation is shocked by the decision and is now taking legal action and it says will continue to support the athletes. well, the commonwealth games federation has released a statement. they�*ve said that. former f1 boss bernie ecclestone has been arrested in brazil for illegally carrying a gun while boarding a private plane. the 91 year—old acknowedged owning

the weapon and said he didn�*t realise it was in his luggage at the time. he was released after paying bail and was allowed to continue his journey to switzerland. ecclestone spent 40 years as the head of formula 1 before stepping down in 2017. mark cavendish�*s hopes of a second stage win at this year�*s giro d�*italia were dashed by a four—man breakaway on stage 18. the flat run in to the finish in treviso looked set for a mass sprint, but four riders managed to hold off the chasing pack. dries de bont beat eduardo affini in a photo finish to win the stage. the peloton, including cavendish and overall race leader richard carapaz, finished 14 seconds behind. he still leads by three seconds with three stages to go. and that�*s all the sport for now. hello there. we�*ll be developing a north—south split across the country into friday but that�*s because we got high pressure building in across southern areas that will

bring in quite a long sunshine, far more sunshine that we had on thursday but we maintain the windy, blustery theme across the north with further showers. that�*s because closer to this area of low pressure. nit this area of high pressure will continue to push its way northwards dominating the weather seen across much of the midlands, southwards and in towards wales. there will be some sunshine for northern ireland, southern scotland, will be windier times could see a few light showers. but most of the showers will be across the north and west of scotland, some will be quite heavy and they will be blustery as the winds will be quite a feature here once again. the winds will be lighter further south with more sunshine, could see 21 degrees again. otherwise, it�*s the low to mid teens across the north. through friday night, the showers continue for a while across scotland. the winds begin to back more northerly as we head through the night. that will feed in a few more showers across a far more north of scotland but much of the country will be dry. it will be a cooler air mass, temperatures in the single digits for most places. so, it�*s a coolerfeel
11:58 pm
into the weekend, it will be turning cooler still thanks to these northerly winds. by sunday, we could even see a few showers around with limited spells of sunshine. saturday probably looking like the brightest day of the weekend. even then, there will be quite a bit of cloud being pushed down on this northerly wind across all southern and northern eastern areas. i think the best of the sunshine southwest england and wales, northern ireland, it�*s here will receive the best temperatures, perhaps 20 degrees in cardiff, otherwise it�*s cooler across more northern and eastern areas where we will have more cloud. as we move into sunday you could see the blue hue trickling further southwards across the country, will be turning cooler as her area of high pressure begins to drift in towards iceland. so northerly winds, quite a lot of cloud around on sunday, that wind will be quite stiff across northern and eastern areas
11:59 pm
so sunshine will be pretty limited. probably the best will be at the southwest we could see 16 or 17 degrees. distinctly chilly for this time a year across more northern and eastern areas where we hold onto the cloud as well put up into next week i think we will have a very weak area of low pressure nearby. that will bring for the sunshine but also the risk of some showers, some of which will be on the heavy side.
