here in the uk — the prime minister has been told it would be politically suicidal to lurch away from the green pledges the conservative government has made while in office. there are as concerns that both major parties here will dilute their plans to combat the climate crisis with evidence mounting that costly green solutions are unpopular at the ballot box. we have seen it in spain this week, we have seen it in france with the yellow vest protest, and we saw it last week in the uxbridge by election. the tories narrowly won the seat, byjust a95 votes, on a campaign againstthe london mayor plan

to extend the ultra low emission zone. live now to nadine batchelor—hunt, political reporter at politicshome and broadcaster. thank you for coming on the programme. it is interesting just watching the debate here over the last week since the bye election that it's notjust the conservatives and obviously the prime ministers getting a lot of heat from the right of his party. and it's notjust the conservatives that are now thinking about what they put out there in the public domain with regards to public policy. public domain with regards to public oli . . , public domain with regards to public oli _ ., , , public domain with regards to public oli . . , , ., ., policy. there has been a row in labour about _ policy. there has been a row in labour about this _ policy. there has been a row in labour about this policy, - policy. there has been a row in labour about this policy, the i policy. there has been a row in| labour about this policy, the by election was an election that labour really hoped to win it's been a seat they have targeted for quite a while, and obviously, it was quite high—profile because it was boris johnson's from her seat. so to lose that election came and said that if a shall come into listed by a95 votes, labourwere a shall come into listed by a95 votes, labour were kind of, you

know, going back to the drawing board quite angry. and he thinks city con, who struck quite strongly by this policy, obviously he is the labour london mayor kind of indicated that he reviewed this policy but it has thrown a kind of issue into the ring where there is a divide potentially between labour and the conservatives that the conservatives feel they can exploit, particularly at a time when they are so far behind in the polls that they are looking at the sound thinking is this a wage issue we can use in our battle to try to hold onto power for the next election. fix, battle to try to hold onto power for the next election.— the next election. a quote care for michael gove _ the next election. a quote care for michael gove today, _ the next election. a quote care for michael gove today, the _ the next election. a quote care for michael gove today, the levelling l the next election. a quote care for. michael gove today, the levelling of secretary of state. yes and yes when asked about the government's commitment to end petrol and diesel car sails in commitment to end petrol and diesel carsails in the commitment to end petrol and diesel car sails in the uk by 2030. so there are some policies they are not going to roll back on, but clearly, there is decisions to be made in respect to the cost of living, and

thatis respect to the cost of living, and that is what was at the root of labour's defeat in uxbridge. absolutely. and there is a sense that there was a bit of tone deafness and how hard the london mayor went out this policy. it's £12 50 a day to drive your car, if you can't afford to replace your car if you are not compliant, that is extra cost on driving to work every day, taking your kids to school, and london labour and peace were also greatly concerned about this, particularly when some of these areas are quite poor. it did feel quite tone deaf to a lot of people in uxbridge and in the labour party. and he think this is why it has become a bit of a row. unfortunately it seems that this is kind of grown beyond the uxbridge by election and more broadly into green policies and the government are kinda viewing that and thinking, you we held onto uxbridge because of unhappiness of some of these policies that people felt we were moving too quickly or were to indent to a tone deaf.

perhaps this is a new area on things more broadly like insulation on homes and where they have to have a certain level of efficiency by 2028. are these areas where we can roll back slightly, roll back on our pledges towards net to try to bring in the votes that they know they are haemorrhaging for the next election. 0ne haemorrhaging for the next election. one of our panelists called the green lash last week, which is not a bad term for it. we have seen it in the recent spanish election with parties on the right to want to roll back some of these commitments making some ground. i mean, a lot of the political argument on the left in america and here is that green is good, good for the economy, good for jobs, good for expert and the environment. so why are politicians losing that argument? maybe that doesn't stand up to scrutiny. maybe it doesn't lead to jobs and to cost

savings stumpy i think because moving towards net there has of potential, and what biden is doing in america, particularly with the inflation reduction act, big focus on green energy and has been quite successful is you know, going green, moving towards net zero requires the sacrifices on day—to—day things like the cars we drive or even the food we eat by the way in which we insulate our homes. there are those trade—offs where it's not always going to be an hazy thing to save the planet, to put it bluntly. and i think when it becomes a bit more difficult, you know, when it is less low guinea and doesn't have the added benefit of economic growth attached to it, it is those policies that i think politicians are struggling to approach any real practical way, and arguably, it's about preparing people for these changes as well. i think one of the arguments around the zone in london was people were not given enough time to prepare for this big change, particularly in the backdrop of the cost crisis. i think it is about

getting the tone and the time right, but also there _ getting the tone and the time right, but also there is _ getting the tone and the time " grit, but also there is inevitability —— inevitability with the things that they are not going to be hazy, there will be things we have to give up that we don't want to in order to stop more of what we see in europe right now at this key wave. absolutely so. i read an interesting _ at this key wave. absolutely so. i read an interesting debate. - at this key wave. absolutely so. i | read an interesting debate. thank you for coming on the programme. at is you. —— == you for coming on the programme. at is ou. -- , ., ., israel is in a deeply uncertain place. last night the knesset passed a bill which strips the judiciary of a power to over rule the government if it has acted unreasonably. it is not a power often used, but it was employed injanuary when the court ruled that the appointment of a minister was unreasonable in the extreme because of his previous criminal convictions. the government was forced to remove him. last night, thousands came out on the streets injerusalem and tel aviv, blocking highways and clashing with security forces. the government is now facing a revolt by reservists who are refusing to serve, although it is not clear yet how many reservists are involved, or whether they would maintain that boycott during a major crisis.

hen mazzig, senior fellow with the tel aviv institute is a critical voice on these reforms. conversations that we're seeing that are coming from within the government, within the coalition. itjust seems like netanyahu is no longer in control. and we know it's the most far right wing government that israel has ever had. and even during the voting yesterday, you could see the minister of defense arguing with another minister, and benjamin netanyahu in the middle, without being able to even break it apart or make a call on what the future is going to be. and i think that's even more concerning. the us government says it's unfortunate, the bill that's being passed, and obviously there are deep questions now about democracy in israel. but the government would say, "look, this was always part of our agenda. people voted on it and that is democracy." yeah, democracy means... a liberal democracy, rather, which is what israel is, is a place where people vote

and the government make decisions. and then there should be checks and balances to make sure that the liberal democracy nature of the country maintains. and at this point in time, if the government will continue with this legislation, that the minister of national security called the appetiser, they will have more and more legislation to strip down any authority from the judicial system. it would make any decision that they want to pass, just not have any criticism or any ability to stop them. if there would be anything that is, we don't have a constitution. but if there will be anything that would harm minorities, that's that's what the supreme court in israel has been doing for so long. since the beginning it was protecting minorities. and at this point, we're seeing that the government is trying to strip them of this rights. manuy implications here, not just for democracy in israel, but for the palestinians and for wider peace in the middle east.

absolutely. i mean, we're seeing the people that are pushing it from within the government. and just this morning, the ultra orthodox party has tried to suggest a basic law into the israeli basic laws that is saying that studying torah is just should be equated to military service, which is compulsory in israel, which means that they want to be exempt from military service. it's just one example of where we where we're heading as a country. and israel is a booming economy. it's a start up nation. and to see that the economy is going down i mean what they're doing to to israel, liz truss as resigned for far less then than what's happening to the israeli economy today. you talked about military service. we must talk about the reservists. we don't know how many reservists are signing up to this boycott. but i mean, wouldn't they would they withdraw service in the event of a crisis, in the event of a crisis on the northern border or within gaza? how far would they take that? i'm a reservist myself, and i know that even though i opposed the judicial overhaul, i would still come to reserve when i'll be called. i think that's something that israelis are doing.

i think that they are very concerned, rightfully so. i mean, we're speaking about a00 pilots that said that they're not going to show up. and i think they're just voicing their deep fear of the future. i do think that they would show up. i don't think that israel would be left with an army. but it's a clear red sign forfor the israeli government to to stop and to rethink how we're moving forward. and it's a call for you know, i've been in the studio so many times defending israel against international scrutiny. and today i'm here to tell israel and to telljews and israelis around the world that we have to stand up for our country because the future will be grim if we won't stop. just a brief word on the protest movement they packed up last night after the vote in the early hours of the morning. where is that protest movement now? does it does it peter out because the bill has gone through or does it sustain? i think it sustains. and i think that according to the polls, you're seeing that a majority of israelis are against continuing with this legislation. and they have done what they have said to to achieve. i think the protest must continue

and we must speak up and we must stop this legislation. and it's for the future of israel, of our country that we love is at stake. around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news. bbc news — bringing you different stories from across the uk. people on the streets of manchester had been ballot had on life's biggest questions. liam or noel? what's your preference? noel to pick sides in the hottest cultural debates. barbie or oppenheimer? barbie. and there are those age—old questions, questions that people in the north have pondered since the dawn of time, like... ballot bins are a fun way to dispose of your letter. so you get an option of taking a side and to drop your letter and see which one winds. accounts are working in partnership with an environmental charity ——the council are working in partnership with an environmental charity called hubbub and a fast food chain, kfc. hubbub have installed similar ones for cigarette buts, which they say has reduced later by a6% in cities around the world.

in the programme. really interesting. let's quickly touch on the women's world cup before we finish. japan taking on costa rica, katie is in sydney. i'm at the end of the day and i can hardly say costa rica property. it's the beginning of your day. what are you expecting? what is to come? , ., ., ., , to come? rights, we are going to see the most divided _ to come? rights, we are going to see the most divided group _ to come? rights, we are going to see the most divided group having - the most divided group having their second match of the game. so as to say, japan taking a costa rica. we saw say, japan taking a costa rica. we sanapan say, japan taking a costa rica. we saw japan last week the first game beating zambia 5—0. such a pain expected to be the victor against costa rica, and that is because costa rica, and that is because costa rica, and that is because costa rica lost against spain 3—0 and spain is then playing zambia as well. this is the most divided of the group, spain and japan both at three points on the table and

somewhat the strongest scores on the table as well. spain to give you an idea in his last match against costa rica actually had a6 attempts at goal. we saw the coaster weekend goalkeeper managing to stay by a3 of these. she was and as one of the unsung heroes of that match. so we may well see some strong play as well from her once again. we've also got canada and new zealand. canada ireland, my apologies, or linda of great loss to australia and its opening match last thursday 1—0. canada on the other hand has withdrawn with nigeria. we may expect a slight victory for canada, although it is going to be very close match. it's a tight grip. just lookin: at close match. it's a tight grip. just looking at some _ close match. it's a tight grip. just looking at some of the viewing figures, because we are always interested that the game is growing and we are reaching more people. when you looked at the united states first game in the numbers watching it back at home, it is reaching across generations and it really is finding an audience, isn't it? that's right. to give you an idea

about the american game, we actually met loads of americans who have travelled here in order to support them. there were 20,000 americans that went to new zealand alone, no date also hoping to do similar things tourism, but it is well and truly garnering more and more support, more following. we've been speaking to executives at the elites here, for example, the english premier league about the growth that they are seeing. without a doubt, it does seem that there is growth for there to be gained as well from this world cup for the women's game. katie, lovely to see you enjoy the football today. we will be back at the same time tomorrow. some of the asking but the panel, we had a bit of a panel malfunction today, and all the poorerfor of a panel malfunction today, and all the poorer for it, of a panel malfunction today, and all the poorerfor it, but of a panel malfunction today, and all the poorer for it, but they will be back tomorrow and we look forward to that. i know that some good people will be coming on the programme. so hope you join me for that. see you tomorrow. hello from the bbc sport centre, i'm tulsen tollett. the phillipines picked up a first ever women's world cup win with victory over new zealand on tuesday.

the tournament co—hosts could've secured a path to the last 16 but group a will now be decided in the final round of matches on sunday. that's after norway and switzerland played out a goalless draw in their second match. nick parrott wraps up the action. the boot was on the other food for new zealand in wellington. after pulling off a shock win against norway in the opening match, it was new zealand left feeling upset by an underdog. the philippines were making their world cup debut, but they didn't get stage fright. at this level, you need to take your chances and they did just that, making their only shot on target count. new zealand dominated possession and peppered their opponent goal with shots, but couldn't make them count. when they eventually find the net, the goal was ruled offside. or they were foiled by the heroics

of olivia mcdaniel. brilliant! that is a match winning moment there from mcdaniel! her save in the final moments making the philippines the first debutants to win at this tournament. it has been a dream of mine to appear at the world cup, let alone score. i couldn't have done it without my team—mates, the staff, the fans, the philippines as a whole. it is amazing right now to feel the energy in the stadium. it is just amazing. new zealand now needed norway to do them a favour against switzerland in a rain and wind swept hamilton. it was always going to be a tough ask after losing their star striker, ada hegerberg, just before kick—off. without her, chances went begging. tha the swiss did not roll over, largely due to their outstanding goalkeeper.

terrific save from the goalkeeper. named fifa player of the match, she pulled off save, after save, after save to help move her team a point clear at the top of the group. norway are bottom. they will now be hoping that ada hegerberg can return for their next match, because they will have to win to stand any chance of going through. in sydney — colombia got their tournament off to the perfect start with a 2—0 win over south korea. catalina usme got the first from the penalty spot, the second from a goalkeeping error was scored by 18 year old linda kaicedo. south korea did make history when casey phair came off the bench. atjust 16 years and 26 days she's the youngest player to feature at a world cup — men's or women's. nottingham forest have signed sweden forward anthony elanga from manchester united on a five—year deal. the 21 year old has been at united since he was 12 and made 55 appearances for the red devils

having made his first team debut in 2021. he becomes forest's second signing of the summer. across town manchester city have definitely not parted ways with kyle walker despite interest in the england international defender. city who won the treble last season, culminating in the champions league triumph, face german champions bayern munich in tokyo on wednesday, the club keen to secure his services. but manager pep guardiola insists the 33 year old right back won't be leaving if he gets his way. an incredibly important player for us. the specific qualities that are suitable, we should be in those, i don't know what is going to happen. i know there are intangible clubs, and we will fight for him. i'm pretty sure we will do it, but i don't know where he is going to finish.

eight—time gold medallist usian bolt says sprinter zharnel hughes could become 0lympic 100 metres champion next year. hughes recently beat linford christie's long—standing british 100m record. he also smashed the british 200 metres record at a diamond league meeting in london at the weekend. i think ithink in i think in that 100 metres, he does. i think in that 100 metres, he does. i think in that 100 metres, he does. i think if he executes right and if he does what he is supposed to do and continues on the track that he's on right now because he's in a good running farm right now, so it'sjust about maintaining and he should be fine. i think he will be in the top. all of that and everything else on the bbc sport website, but that is all of your support for now. ——but that is all of your sport for now. hello. it's been a day of clouds and showers and relatively cool, certainly compared to the mediterranean. where yesterday in some spots,

we had extreme temperatures. this was the highest — a8.2 degrees celsius in sardinia. hottest day of the year so far in europe. but those extreme temperatures are coming to an end, at least for now, as this jet stream dives southwards across the mediterranean by wednesday and it pushes the heat back into the sahara and the temperatures will take a tumble. in fact, in palermo on monday, where it was a7 degrees celsius, we'll look at that on wednesday. we're closer to the climatic norm of around 30 degrees or so. now, the forecast for us, though, that same jet stream is going to bring changeable weather over the coming days. in fact, tomorrow we are expecting a bright start and then rain later on. through the night, ahead of the weather front, there are some clear skies around, but also early in the morning, there could be some showers across parts of northern england. the early morning temperatures will range from around seven degrees in aberdeen to 11—12 in some of the bigger city centres. so that low pressure pushed

by that jet stream that i showed you earlier on, and remember, it takes a dive into europe, but here the jet stream is actually pointing right at us. it's pushing the weather front towards us. clouds are thickening in the morning across ireland. the outbreaks of rain are moving in. and i think by around lunchtime, the thicker cloud and possibly the outbreaks of rain will be nudging in to some of these western parts of the uk, whereas further east it should be dry and bright and actually a decent day in norwich, in newcastle and also in aberdeen. but later on in the evening, so this is wednesday evening now, and into the early hours of thursday, that weather front will cross all parts and there will be rain. so most of us will catch some rain over the next 2a—36 hours. here's thursday's weather forecast, then. once that weather front moves across into the north sea, it leaves a legacy of thicker cloud. it's also going to be quite humid air. temperatures will be around 20 degrees in glasgow and about 22 or three in the south and there'll be sunny spells and also a few showers. so on to the outlook into the weekend.

very little change overall, that is, broadly speaking, changeable with frequent showers. bye bye.
