the obr is forecasting that those tax rises and more significantly, the uk inflation rate, now at its highest rate in 41 years, will also drive those historic falls in real household disposable income. robin petherbridge was watching that and had this response. well, bbc news said they would give us a response to those questions and we'll bring you that next week. the statement was, of course, long—awaited, and there had been plenty of previewing and speculation about what it might contain in the media over the past few weeks. as part of the build—up, last weekend's sunday with laura kuenssberg included

an interview withjeremy hunt. will government departments get extra money now this year to deal with the costs of inflation? or are you going to, as everyone expects, tell them they've got to stick with what they were given in 2021? well, as you know, laura, and i think andrea knows, i'm going to announce the decisions on those things on thursday. well, again, without explaining to you now what i need to announce properly to the house of commons on thursday, i will be announcing what will happen from april on thursday. i'm not going to say now what that is. but, laura, you're being very artful in trying to get me to confirm elements of the package that i announce on thursday, as i would expect from you. but i'm not going to do that, i'm afraid. a viewer called jens, originally from germany, but now living in northamptonshire, contacted us about that interview and recorded his response for us. as per usual, laura kuenssberg interviewed the chancellor on her sunday morning programme before the big budget announcement on thursday. this seems to be the same pattern as andrew marr did

before in his programme on a sunday, that it always had the chancellor of the exchequer on their programme before any such announcement, which then gives the chancellor each time the cop—out to say, "oh, i can't give you any more details about the budget, you have to wait until the announcement on thursday." so my issue therefore is why are you not inviting the chancellor the sunday after such an announcement, where he then could give further detail, further explanation to the budget details? well, we asked the sunday with laura kuenssberg team for a response to that point, and they told us...

news desks went onto high alert on tuesday evening as reports came in of a development which looked potentially to be highly significant. tonight at 10, a russian missile, part of a big attack on ukraine is said to have killed two people on a farm in poland. it would be the first time for nato territory to be hit in the current conflict. but russia strongly denies any responsibility. given that article 5 of nato's constitution requires countries to come to the defense of a fellow nato member if attacked, the prospect was soon being discussed of a military response against russia. by the next day, though, it was widely accepted

that the missiles had come by accident from ukrainian air defence. cue a collective sigh of relief, but some viewers had questions to ask about the bbc�*s reporting of the incident. paul deakin wondered: . and here's keith tindall. do let us know your thoughts on anything we're featuring in this programme or any aspect of bbc news. details of how to contact us at the end of the programme. but now for some of your other comments this week.

the mixture of politics and showbusiness can be awkward, even excruciating, but it also provides a spectacle that many find compelling. that's evident from the interest in former health secretary matt hancock's appearance in the australian jungle as a contestant in itv�*s hit show i'm a celebrity get me out of here, which featured on bbc one news bulletins last saturday. what i'm really looking for is a bit of forgiveness. that's what i'm really looking for. hey. oh, my god. i nearly cried then. well, political correspondent jonathan blake joins us. how did matt hancock defend himself, jonathan? he said it was a mistake to have broken the guidance that he had set, but it had happened, he said, because he had fallen in love with someone. that wasn't what pam park wanted from bbc news.

and sue reynolds echoed that. another conservative mp in the spotlight this week was deputy prime minister dominic raab, who asked for an investigation to be held into his behaviour after two formal complaints were made against him. the day before that, bbc political editor chris mason interviewed the prime minister at the g20 summit in bali and asked him about the allegations against mr raab. were there any concerns, even informal ones, raised with you about the conduct of dominic raab before you appointed him as your deputy? i've been very clear — i don't recognise the characterisation of dominic's behaviour, and i also was not and am not aware of any formal complaints. i asked if there were any informal? no. there's a formal complaints process and that's the important thing that people should avail themselves of that. let me be clear, are you saying there was nobody or no document

made any informal reference to his conduct, separate from a formal complaint? but i think it is important that we have a we do have a formal complaints process. has anyone raised anything informally? i said, i don't recognise the characterisation of dominic's behaviour personally. john dean objected. and peter staker made a different point. but others admired chris mason's interview. for instance, adrian lake, who told him on twitter: .

david hicks agreed. the un climate summit, cop27, has been continuing this week in egypt, and we reported last week on some viewers' concerns that the bbc�*s reporting of the summit was alarmist and could increase anxiety among the audience. anne wash disagreed with that writing. a viewer complained that the coverage of cop 27 was sensationalist. i disagree completely. we also mentioned in last week's programme justin rowlatt's practice of wearing jeans on air and asked for your thoughts on that. we've had a big response with colin wildman joining in the criticism of his attire. the overriding oppression is not refreshing, it's laziness. this is a journalist who's come to the view that he cannot be bothered to get dressed properly. come on. standards matter.

you're not a rock star. but vikki slade came to his defence. ian shemilt agreed, adding... it's safe to say no jeans were worn by anyone involved in the bbc�*s first—ever news bulletin, which was broadcast 100 years ago this monday. the british broadcasting company, as it was then, was made up of a number of stations operated by different companies, including london 2lo, run by marconi. the 6pm bulletin on the 14th of november, 1922, was read by arthur burrows, who soon took on the additional roles of director of programmes and children's presenter. although no recording exists, we know that first news

programme contained a report from the old bailey, a speech from the prime minister, details of the fog in london and the latest billiard scores. and although newswatch wasn't on the air then, audience feedback was requested. burrows read the bulletin twice, once fast and once slowly, and listeners were asked to write in with their preference. do let us know your preferences on the current speed of news reading or anything else. you can email us. or you can find us on twitter. at #newswatchbbc. you can call us on 0370 010 6676. and do you have a look at our website. bbc.co.uk/newswatch. that's all from us. we'll be back next week talking to clive myrie and to hear more of your thoughts about bbc news coverage. goodbye. hello. well, the rain clouds are starting to clear, and the weather is improving across scotland after what has been a very wet couple of days.

and, of course, not just scotland but northern england, too. here's the radar from the last 12 hours or so — and in aberdeenshire, in char, we had about 160mm of rain injust the last two days or so. but that rain is getting lighter. it's not going to be a completely dry day, though, on saturday. how about the weekend overall? well, it will be a mixed bag for most of us, certainly some sunshine in the forecast, but blustery showers are expected too. here's the satellite picture — and this weather front fast approaching will be sweeping over us, but not until saturday night. so, actually, during the course of saturday we'll be in between weather systems — here's that weather front fast approaching ireland — but out towards the east, we have the remnants of a weather front, it's starting to rain itself out. and then look at this central part of the uk — lots of fine weather right from the morning onwards. now the morning will be chilly, three celsius in belfast at 8am in the morning, six celsius there in the midlands, and certainly earlier than that, that will have been a frost

in the countryside. now, the forecast through the afternoon shows plenty of bright, if not sunny weather in central parts of britain. in the east, that rain fizzles away from that thicker cloud. but out towards the west, that's where the next weather front is sweeping in from, and belfast will have a wet saturday evening. and then, overnight, that weather front�*ll basically sweep across the country, so most of us will get at least some rain. here it is early on sunday morning, early hours, it sweeps out into the north sea. and then, behind it, quite a few isobars there, so quite blustery winds and also frequent showers. now, some of the showers will be heavy, possibly even thundery in some western areas, particularly in the northwest here, but many of us will have a fine day. now it will be quite cool air, rushing in off the atlantic, temperatures typically into single figures across most of the uk, maybe in the south touching around 11—12 celsius for a moment or two in the afternoon on sunday. how about the outlook into next week?

it is looking unsettled, monday will be a wet and windy day for some of us. and those temperatures holding around single figures in the north, closer to double in the south. bye— bye.
