sunak says he'll do a bit more detail, but it's still not going to be quite enough. the consumer organisation which is saying boris johnson —— the prime minister will need to increase the existing £400 rebate to about £1000 per household to get people through. so there will need to be a massive fiscal intervention. but i'd like to have a little discussion about this myth — the thing we keep talking about which is that we can't rack up a bill that our children pay. what was the second world war? what was that about, and how long did we pay for that for? do you think it's possible that for? do you think it's possible that everyone during the second world war, when the government was controlling how much they ate, spending huge amounts of money on the never never, when money was being hidden, stolen and disappeared into two alloys and nuclear weapons projects, people complained and struggled to they found it tough,

they said, "i don't support the work, it's costing too much money." there was this myth of the british stiff upper lip — that's not how it was on the ground at the time. people complain that much the same way they are now about ukraine. and what's happening in russia, the forced evacuation of children from ukraine into russia is a genocide. itjust is, it fulfils the criteria for a genocide, and we are now talking in some of the papers today of the torture of the workers at the zaporizhzhia nuclear plant, russia taking it off the ukrainian electricity grid and putting it on to the russian electricity grid. in an orderfor to the russian electricity grid. in an order for that to happen for safety reasons, they are shelling the plant in order to make the ukrainian grid disconnect, then they have an excuse to run it off the russian grid. this kind of stuff is the kind of thing that does cost a life and is global in its

what's really appalling outside of this is the conservative party, whether you vote for them or don't, fundamentally it says it wants to protect the economy to help people, so it concentrates on economic stuff more than labour party does. that is how it's seen. and the fact that they have abandoned this, for the past year and —— year and a half, they've had parties, lysed the parliament, scandal, they've had discussed from the public and have put everything that needed doing while the war in ukraine was unfolding, that'sjust while the war in ukraine was unfolding, that's just been lost. we are now having a leadership contest because we lost the last guy, and to people who have no real solid plan for what to do about this. they are wasting months about this, this is what they have to do on day one in order to save lives — the purpose of

share of trips around europe in the last 12 months, many of them memorable. but this is the one that mattered most. the first chance of the game felt a rangers. john lindstrom and his manager left holding their heads. it could have been much worse, psv finishing the half strong. luke dion denied, cody missed all by himself. rangers needed a reset, tom lawrence nearly provided it. but they would be denied moments later. a moment to forget for andre ramalho — air —— a momentary memberfor forget for andre ramalho — air —— a momentary member for antonio. forget for andre ramalho — air —— a momentary memberfor antonio. a momentary member for antonio. a simple momentary memberfor antonio. a simple goal that meant so much. psv now had to score, philipp should have done. time ticked away for the home side — buffer rangers, their weight was over. 12 years away from the champions league, now they are back amongst europe's elite. michael redford, bbc news. the league cup also continued tonight with four second—round matches — three of them containing premier league sides. newcastle avoided an upset — they had to come from a goal down

against tranmere rovers. jamaal lascelles and chris wood gave them a 2—1win. elsewhere, newcastle came from a goal down to beat tranmere rovers 2—1. leeds united continued their steady form with a 3—1win over barnsley in a yorkshire derby. despite manager graham potter changing the entire team from the weekend win at west ham, brighton won at forest green rovers. and bristol city were too good for wycombe. for all the latest on who's drawn who in the third round, including the pick of the ties which sees manchester city hosting chelsea, head to the bbc sport website. england manager sarina wiegman has paid tribute to ellen white andjill scott, after the pair announced their retirement from football. white is england's top scorer, whilst midfielder scott is their second—most—capped player. as she announced her squad for the upcoming world cup qualifiers without the pair that helped england win the women's euros, wiegman said it was time

for the next generation to make their mark. we will absolutely miss them, because they are such big personalities and they have such a influence on the team. but what was already saw over the summer with her as captain, she grew in the role so well and collaborated with the whole team, and also with ellen and the other more experienced leaders in the team. so i do think now, the dynamics of the team will change a little bit, of course, that's normal. we will absolutely miss those two, but i think we will stabilise over the next camps — because it also gives an opportunity for other players to step up. here's the squad in full, then — goalkeeper hannah hampson is omitted, sandy maciver called up. in midfield, jordan nobbs and katie zelem replace scott and the injured fran kirby, whilst chloe kelly is injured so laurenjames and ebony salmon are draughted in, too.

london spirit beat welsh fire by 17 runs in the men's hundred at lord's. dan lawrence hit 43 runs for spirit, as they won their fifth game out of six — they're top of the table. fire, by constrast, have lost all six of their games. earlier, the women's sides were both trying to keep their outside hopes of reaching the knockout stages alive. and, after some brilliant bowling by freya davies, beth mooney hit 61 as london spirit beat welsh fire by eight wickets at lord's, to record their first victory of this year's competition. fire have lost all their games and can't progress. seamer 0llie robinson has been recalled by england for their second test against south africa at old trafford, starting tomorrow. it means opener zak crawley keeps his place in the side. robinson replaces matthew potts in the 11 for his first test since being dropped by england in the winter, over fitness concerns. ben stokes' side trail the three test series 1—0 after an innings defeat in the first test last week.

we've got to play better than we did at lord's. we just did not execute how we wanted to play, and that is part and parcel of sport. sport is set up for there to be a winner and a loser, so congratulations to south africa for winning and unfortunately we were the losers that week, but we are here now in manchester and hopefully we can win this game and take it to the oval, and then hopefully lift the trophy at the end, 2—1. leeds rhinos have consolidated fifth spot in super league with a last—gasp home win over third—placed huddersfield giants. leading 14—12 with just minutes remaining, huddersfield forward chris hill was sin—binned for a dangerous tackle — and from the ensuing set of six, blake austin picked up his fourth try of the year. man of the match, rhyse martin, added a late penalty that saw the rhinos victorious18—14. more on that and everything else, you can head to the bbc sport

website. but that's all your sport for now. hello there. we'll have some contrasting conditions first thing on friday, with some sharp, thundery downpours to clear southern and eastern england. we could see a couple of inches of rain somewhere across kent coast, up into suffolk and norfolk. slowly easing away by lunchtime, brightening up, but behind withjust a few scattered showers into the far northwest. top temperatures here, 15—20 celsius, a little bit fresher in the southeast, and certainly not as humid as in recent days. now, as we move out of thursday into friday, another weatherfront tucks in from the atlantic with this little ridge of high pressure building in behind. it's a weak affair — it'll produce more in the way of cloud, some showery outbreaks of rain for southern scotland, wales and for devon and cornwall. ahead of it, there'll be more sunshine, and so a degree 01’ so warmer. a little bit fresher, but again, still with more sunshine to the northwest of the great glen. so top temperatures

from 15—25 celsius. that's it, take care.
