netherlands, spain and across the uk. what we focused on was compatible products. then we got an average price per unit and then we converted it from euros into sterling. what did we find? it was a bit of a mixed bag. sterling. what did we find? it was a bit ofa mixed bag. i sterling. what did we find? it was a bit of a mixed bag. i have a few examples to show you. take toilet roll, £3 80 in the uk will stop it was more expensive in the uk than everyone else. that is the price in italy. catch up, again more expensive in the uk. that is the price in france. rice, £126. it was cheapest in spain and the uk. you can see the price in france. and frozen pizza, £1 92 in the uk and again that is the price in france. i should point out the data didn't include algae and little in the uk.

but there are a hill —— whole host of factors why food prices differ between countries as i've been hearing from the person behind this research. the hearing from the person behind this research. , ., , research. the first one is the su -l research. the first one is the sopplv chain. _ research. the first one is the supply chain, differences - research. the first one is the - supply chain, differences between the countries. some countries produce — the countries. some countries produce their own food which are then— produce their own food which are then processed and for the local population and if you are a net food importer— population and if you are a net food importer like the uk you pay a buyers— importer like the uk you pay a buyers premium. the second thing is whether— buyers premium. the second thing is whether it _ buyers premium. the second thing is whether it impacts on particular fresh _ whether it impacts on particular fresh produce like vegetables but also meat and fish and so on. you have _ also meat and fish and so on. you have the _ also meat and fish and so on. you have the element of political decisions that people make so in terms _ decisions that people make so in terms of— decisions that people make so in terms of taxation, regulation, price caps and _ terms of taxation, regulation, price caps and of— terms of taxation, regulation, price caps and of course cuisine, what peopie _ caps and of course cuisine, what peopie like — caps and of course cuisine, what people like to buy and so on. so for all of— people like to buy and so on. so for all of these — people like to buy and so on. so for all of these reasons it's quite normal— all of these reasons it's quite normal have variations in pricing.

this is just a snapshot and it's by no means definitive. itjust shows you how prices can vary and some of the host of factors between them and you can find out more details on the bbc website. silvio berlusconi is back in hospital in milan. it comes 45 days after he was treated there for a lung infection linked to a previously undisclosed case of chronic leukaemia. he has been re—admitted to the san raffaele hospital for an as yet unknown condition. let's ta ke let's take you live to rome after the pope underwent surgery earlier this week. pope francis's condition

is improving and his recovery after surgery is described as normal. that recovery means you can now get out of bed and resume some church work from his hospital armchair. all of that according to the update from the vatican. the 86—year—old pope underwent a three—hour operation on wednesday and he was said to be cheerful when he woke up. in the last few minutes, french president emmanuel macron has said he's heard quote "positive' news on the condition of the children wounded in a knife attack in annecy. macron has visited a local police headquarters close to the park where the incident happened on thursday. he's been talking to emergency services and he met with one a man called henri, according to french media —— who intervened during the attack. earlier, president macron visited he wounded toddlers in hospital. four pre—school children and two adults were injured in the attack.

ten years after a giant inflatable yellow duck captivated crowds in hong kong, the art installation returns to the city's victoria harbour. the twin i8—metre sculptures by dutch artist floren—teen hofman are part of the rubber duck series that has made appearances in major cities since 2007. the artwork previously made headlines in hong kong for drawing huge audiences and for accidental deflations, including when it shrank to a flat disk next to a ferry pier in 2013. one onlooker described the installation as "simple happiness". the headlines coming up shortly. see you soon. goodbye. hello. today is likely to be the

hottest day of the year so far with temperatures reaching the high 20s. is that which will be forgetting because over the weekend is set to become even hotter. 30 degrees and the hottest spots, how hot is 30 in june? we get it every year. many of us look forward to these hot spells of weather and some of us don't like the heat on for a few with underlying health conditions that heat can cause problems and for that reason heater that has been issued. the satellite picture shows the extent of the sunshine. we have low cloud affecting north—east england and eastern scotland and some of that could linger all day. there is some high cloud across the south—west of england making the sunshine hazy. an odd shower and if you catch one in cornwall the rain could come down in big chunky drops. for most it's a very warm day and the highest temperatures likely to reach about 28 across central england. overnight tonight we will keep some of that low cloud across the scotland and eastern england and

otherwise it is a largely dry night. quite chilly across the north—east. temperatures creeping up on the south four in the south for englund and wales. we start the weekend on a glorious note, plenty of sunshine and it will become very warm. that heat triggers just one or two thunderstorms. many of you won't see much in the way of rain but they could be one of two areas were that seem real deluge posing the risk of flash flooding. for most it's a hot and sunny day with temperatures peaking at around 30 degrees, perhaps some low cloud lingering. what follows is a very warm evening, probably the warmest night we've seen this year with temperatures still up in the 20s and that is a feature of the weather going forward over the next couple of days. for sunday, a lot of dry weather and hot weather but a few thunderstorms will build and again one or two of them could be torrential. in the west of the uk they could be some areas that season lower temperatures compared with what we had over the last

couple of weeks. it has been glorious for many in the west. for the heatwave to be declared you need temperatures to reach over a certain threshold for three days and that threshold for three days and that threshold met for london, manchester and glasgow so for some it's the first heatwave of the year.
