of the rain particularly the heavier bursts should stay out to the west, and with that southerly airflow temperatures rise to about 21 degrees which is well above average for this time of year. but it's really through this evening that rain will start to fill in from the west. you can see the green indicating the heavier bursts. and you might even hear a few rumbles of thunder. but most of that rain should clear through quite quickly. by the end of the night it's looking much drier for us. there is going to be a lot of cloud lingering. our temperatures will fall away to around 1a to 15 degrees, another very mild start to thursday morning. thursday, once that low cloud breaks up, the rest of the day is looking much drier with some sunny spells and there will be variable amounts of cloud with some sunny spells on friday. and it is looking largely dry. that's it from me. there's more on the bbc news app and on bbc radio london where there will be regular bulletins across the morning. i'll back with you in half an hour.

hello, this is breakfast with sally nugent and ben thompson. the chancellor is looking to make tax rises and spending cuts to the value of £40 billion in this month's budget, government sources have told the bbc. yesterday the prime minster failed to rule out changes to national insurance contributions paid by employers, ben is here to explain. this is all heading towards the budget in two weeks?- this is all heading towards the budget in two weeks? this is all heading towards the buduet in two weeks? , ., , .,, budget in two weeks? yes, and people who watch regularly _ budget in two weeks? yes, and people who watch regularly will _ budget in two weeks? yes, and people who watch regularly will think, - budget in two weeks? yes, and people who watch regularly will think, you - who watch regularly will think, you said a0 billion, usa 22 billion last week. as any budgeting process, as you do the sums sometimes you find you do the sums sometimes you find you need more than you expect. that is uuite a you need more than you expect. twat is quite a difference! you need more than you expect. that is quite a difference! it _ you need more than you expect. that is quite a difference! it is _ you need more than you expect. that is quite a difference! it is quite - you need more than you expect. that is quite a difference! it is quite a - is quite a difference! it is quite a difference- _ is quite a difference! it is quite a difference. they _ is quite a difference! it is quite a difference. they say _ is quite a difference! it is quite a difference. they say it _ is quite a difference! it is quite a difference. they say it is - is quite a difference! it is quite a difference. they say it is the - difference. they say it is the difference. they say it is the difference between keeping services at a standstill level that they are

at a standstill level that they are at now, this extra money is what they need to increase capacity, make more important in the nhs, that kind of thing. that is how they have reached the bigger figure. of thing. that is how they have reached the biggerfigure. let me explain the detail and where the national insurance if you fit into it. good morning. prime minister sir keir starmer has said that his two key economic priorities are growing the economy and dealing with what the government claims is?a a0 billion so—called black hole in the public finances. but during the election campaign the labour party pledged in its manifesto that it would not raise taxes for "working people" — including income tax, national insurance and vat. that restricts room for tax rises, meaning the chancellor may look elsewhere to make changes. in an interview yesterday on breakfast the prime minister did not rule out a potential rise in national insurance paid by employers. we were very clear in the manifesto that we would not be increasing tax on working people and we expressly

said that was income tax, that was nics, etc, so we set that out in the manifesto. but nics just for employees? we were very clear in the manifesto at what we were saying is we're not going to raise tax for working people. national insurance contributions are the second biggest tax, after income tax. they are paid by employees and self—employed workers on their earnings and profits, and by employers on top of the wages they pay out. the contributions paid out by employers accounted for more than 60 % of revenues from this particular tax last year. research suggests that an increase of one percentage point on that rate — known as "class one national insurance" could raise £8.a5 billion in the next tax year. if the rate went up two percentage points — that would raise around

£17 billion extra. but experts say it's important to balance any rises against the potential impact, especially on small businesses. depending on the size and when it happens, the potential positives are are more money for the growth of the growth agenda, investment in infrastructure which will impact productivity. but on the negative side, if you are a small business working with thin margins, it is a big hit to your profitability, you could be less inclined to hire more people or even outsource some of your spending which would hit to growth so there is a balancing act there. it's unlikely to be easy for the chancellor and speculation about what she might announce in the budget later this month will certainly continue. expect to see more speculation in the papers and on air on programmes like this in the coming weeks. lintiil like this in the coming weeks. until we know for— like this in the coming weeks. until we know for sure, _ like this in the coming weeks. until we know for sure, yeah, _ like this in the coming weeks. 1!th we know for sure, yeah, thank you. we should say that inflation figures

that we had this morning shows it easing somewhat, meaning that the cost of living crisis for some will be a little easier. falling below 2% of the first time in three years. the usual caveat applies, prices are still going up butjust a little less quickly. two—time olympic champion katie archibald is preparing to compete in the track cycling world championships this week, after missing out on the paris games following a freak accident in her garden. during a catch up with former team—mate dame laura kenny, katie says she feels happier on the bike than she has in a long time. so it's been over ten years now i think that we've known each other. i remember we were in this teeny tiny little room, weren't we? you were top bunk, i'm bottom bunk, and you're brushing your teeth... that's the power dynamic between us, let's make that clear. and ijust remember yourfacial expression totally changing and being like, "what is wrong?" what did you brush your teeth with? just like the first thing i said is "this is men's toothpaste." and then i was like, that's not a thing. and i'd put shaving foam on the...

yeah. if i had to sum you up, that is you. you do really funny, unfortunate things. well, at least half of them are funny, i guess that's a comfort, yeah. katie, let's go straight into what happened on the day that you had your accident. really it was as inconsequential as probably this step here that i've, like, tripped one way, tripped the other, fallen on my ours, and i opened my eyes and my foot wasn't where it's meant to be. you know, like there's just because you... your toes follow here, but my toes were over there. you know, it was just so lucky that i had a friend round the house. we'd like called, like, called the numbers that you call it first to, like, check, and they're like, "no, no, get that to a&e, asap." yeah. i think they'd probably only just put my foot back. yeah. he's like, "you won't be going to the olympic games." the games obviously still take place, so how did you feel? it turns out that the biggest escape i could have from not being at the games was in watching them.

and like, just the fact that there's this thing that you're hugely passionate about that gets a massive spotlight once every four years. when i wasjust watching a race, i wasjust any other fan, you know, and just loving the sport. i feel like we can't have this conversation without mentioning rab. two days after winning the scottish championship, mountain biker rab wardell has died in his sleep. your inner strength and your ability to come back from like unbelievable lows is like no one i've ever met in my entire life, to be honest. it was so lovely, the people that messaged me when i was missing the games to say, like, i'm so sorry. and i'm second guessing whether to admit to this, but there was part of me that would get these messages and i'd be like, it's not that bad. like, it'sjust so not that bad. yeah. like, this is nowhere close to that kind of pain. like, that's still agony.

and missing parisjust couldn't touch the sides on that, you know? there are so many ways that i'm like way weaker, you know, because, like, because that's always there, you know? i wasn't really stressed about losing my chance at the olympics. and it sounds so pathetic but it was it was almost like that, the fear of, like, losing a team and the people that you're close to. and that's what, um, that's what feels so good right now. like the sense of home that i have in a sense of community and cycling, and i'm just so glad for that. when i went through everything with the miscarriages and stuff and i said to you, didn't i, that i felt like i was using bike riding as an escape. being in that velodrome, it is a second family, isn't it? and like we belong, like that's where you belong. at what point did you know that you were going to get back on and ride again? ijust wanted to ride my bike again. i've never been so excited for a world championships as this. it feels so linked in my mind

to the fact that just expectation is so low, and ambition is so high, that it'sjust really freeing. yeah, it's a really freeing place to be. and we wish katie the very, very best for the world championships. talk about mental resilience. it has been a theme _ talk about mental resilience. it has been a theme this _ talk about mental resilience. it has been a theme this morning. - been a theme this morning. sportspeople going to some really castor. we sportspeople going to some really castor. ~ .., . sportspeople going to some really castor. ~ ., ., sportspeople going to some really castan— yeah. i castor. we could all learn. yeah, how to stay _ castor. we could all learn. yeah, how to stay strong _ castor. we could all learn. yeah, how to stay strong but _ castor. we could all learn. yeah, how to stay strong but also - castor. we could all learn. yeah, how to stay strong but also take | how to stay strong but also take time out when you need to. we heard details yesterday about the uk's growing reliance on incinerators as our main means of dealing with household rubbish. well, today we can reveal details of a £1 million pay offer made to residents living near the uk's biggest incinerator. our environment correspondent matt mcgrath has more. this giant incinerator burns massive amounts of our black—bag waste and turns it into electricity. and this is what it's like for the people living next door.

around 180 residents living nearby launched a legal claim against the operator viridor complaining about the noise, the smells and the steam. the bbc can reveal that a settlement figure of around £1 million was paid — worth some £a,500 perfamily. you must be george. i'm here. nice to meet you, how are you doing? i'm fine, thank you. but not everyone was happy with the deal and its conditions. if you wanted the money, you had to sign a non—disclosure agreement, which everybody did. i didn't. so why didn't you? well, i think they've been unfair in what they're paying and completely unfair in what they're doing. they're damaging the environment notjust for me and notjust this area. this order — in other words, £1 million hush fund and a gagging order. we've investigated the issues raised

by george and others impacted by the incinerator and put the response of the operator viridor under the spotlight. we've managed to get hold of copies of the agreement that have been sent to residents of runcorn, and it's quite clear that they face strong penalties if they speak about it. it says here that under no circumstances should you discuss the contents of any of these documents with any third party or member of the press outside your own immediate household. and signatories were told that if they broke those terms, they'd have to pay the money back and they'd also be potentially liable for legal costs. viridor said it won't make any comment in relation to the payout and the non—disclosure agreement. in most incinerator towns like runcorn, money is tight. our research shows that waste is ten times more likely to be burned in the most deprived areas of the uk compared to the best—off neighbourhoods. eddie thompson runs seven food banks here in the town. so that's seven public—facing distribution centres open every

single day and they're used every single day. the incinerator has been here nearly a decade now. how has that impacted the community? i do feel as though, because it is looked at as a dumping ground, mentally, people feel as though, in some cases, they're worthless. our investigation in runcorn has unveiled details of the biggest settlement to date involving local residents and incinerator operators. but with concerns growing over both the number and the environmental impacts of energy from waste sites in the uk, it's unlikely to be the last. unfortunately, we've got big business here involved. bully—boy businesses. and that's what they are. unfortunately, they're the bully and that's what they're proving to be. all they think now — we'll pay this undisclosed or this million—pound payout and the problem will go away. the problem is still here, the problem is still here.

matt mcgrath, bbc news, runcorn. you can watch more on this story in "the nightmare next door" available on bbc iplayer now. here's carol with a look at this morning's weather. carol has been telling us it is slightly warmer but there are still rain around, i can tell, there is a clue in your picture! there are no relies on you! it is mild for the time of year despite the rain. we could have 22 celsius in the south—east today. across the board, the ember across our shores. even in the next few day we have yellow and amber with a hint of blue so the mild temperatures continue, but they will be the mildest today the south—east. we have an array of

weather fronts coming our way. the south—east. we have an array of weatherfronts coming our way. this one is already producing some rain, some ripples around it. the green and yellow is particularly heavy, surface water on the road if you are travelling, in mind. hide it some brighter breaks. the second weather front coming our way towards the south—east, cloud building but in sunny places, we are getting up to 22. this evening and overnight, the first weather front continues to push north and east, heavy rain in that. and the second one comes in right behind it. the skies were clear towards the south—west and the wind to more of a south—westerly direction. once again it is going to be a mild night. tomorrow we start with cloud and remnants of rain pushing away into the north sea. there are largely dry day, a fair

bit of sunshine around, also some showers peppering part of the west. we will not all see a shower, of course, and it is still mild. 13 to 18 degrees. still above average for the time of year. into the weekend, this low pressure brings a weather front moving across us, but on sunday we have got another potent one waiting in the wings. it looks like we could bring strong or gale force wind, severe gales and heavy rain, we are watching that. on friday we have got some showers, another band of heavy rain coming from the west, accompanied by strong winds from the irish sea and north—west scotland. 12 to 17 so it is still quite mild. heading on into saturday, the front continues across south and east areas eventually moving away, then it will brighten up moving away, then it will brighten up behind in the west. more sunshine, just a few showers. breezy conditions. this is what we are

thinking is coming on sunday. temperatures on saturday, 12 in the north to 16 in the south. on sunday we have a deep area of low pressure coming our way. as it comes in, it will bring heavy rain moving from the west to east. looks like we will have strong winds, gale force for some, across the northwest we could severe gales. that is something to look out for particularly if you are travelling or camping. the position might change so it is what we are watching closely. just wanted to give you a heads up. so, wednesday today, how long will we have to wait before the forecast is firmer for sunday in terms of the strength of the wind and any problems?— strength of the wind and any problems? strength of the wind and any roblems? , ., ., ., problems? just a day or two, it becomes fellow _ problems? just a day or two, it becomes fellow with _ problems? just a day or two, it becomes fellow with each - problems? just a day or two, it i becomes fellow with each passing day. it is a deep area of low pressure. tomorrow we will have a
