some properties and extraordinary betrayal. farmers are travelling to westminster to lobby mps and urge the chancellor to scrap the policy. that noise was not farming machinery, that was the lottery machine, it is now off!- machinery, that was the lottery machine, it is now off! there will be a separate — machine, it is now off! there will be a separate protest _ machine, it is now off! there will be a separate protest near - machine, it is now off! there will. be a separate protest near downing street today. the government insists it is supporting farmers with more financial assistance and in relatively few will be affected by the tax changes. nina is in buckinghamshire to explain more. good morning, here, they found that meat, it's an arable farm as well. what's today, they are among the expected tens of thousands of farmers heading to the capital this morning to protest government plans. let your ourselves of what was announced in the budget last month. the chancellor saying that an inheritance tax of 20% of farms

valued more than £1 million will be introduced by 2026. combined with business relief it is estimated that will generate £230 million in the first yearfor will generate £230 million in the first year for the treasury. how many farms will be affected? estimates vary, potentially tens of thousands over the years, although the government to say that in the first year, they think the number will be closer to 500. i'm very confident in our figures. and they show that only around 500 estates will be affected by these changes. that's notjust diggers that have come from the government or from the treasury, these have been endorsed by the independent budget office responsibility, and they are the based on the last year we have hard data available. the vast majority of farmers will pay nothing of these changes. it is targeting only the very wealthiest to pay a little bit more to help fix

the hole in our public finances. but family farming will continue to be passed on from generation to generationjust as it passed on from generation to generation just as it always has been. generation 'ust as it always has been. �* , , generation 'ust as it always has been. �* , ., been. but this is controversial, because farmers _ been. but this is controversial, because farmers say, - been. but this is controversial, because farmers say, this - been. but this is controversial, because farmers say, this is i because farmers say, this is literally a bread and butter issue. if you risk the viability of my farm, you risk the uk's food security. they say, we are asset rich, many of us, but cash poor. turnover means we will not be able to find that tax, we will have to sell up completely in some cases. the government says that once you add up spouse allowance and residential allowance, the point at which you begin paying tax would be closer to £3 million. and what is most important is this closes a loophole whereby the super rich have been able to invest in land as a way of dodging inheritance tax completely. 0ne of dodging inheritance tax completely. one thing is clear, jon and sally, there are rural communities you have said to this labour government, we have lent you our votes for the first time in this

election and we are not sure we'll be doing again. thank you very much, nina. now more of the day's news withjon, and more fallout from the budget. the british retail consortium says it's inevitable thatjobs will be lost and prices will rise, because of tax increases being imposed on the industry next year. in a letter to the chancellor, it says the changes announced in last month's budget will cost retailers an additional £7 billion. our business correspondent theo leggett reports. retailers across the country are gearing up for the christmas period, their busiest time of the year. but seasonal cheer is in short supply and the economic winds are feeling wintry. in this letter to the government, the british retail consortium claims that new costs being imposed on the industry next year will make job losses inevitable, and higher prices are certainty. it's been signed by nearly 80 business leaders, including the bosses of tesco, superdry, the perfume shop and wickes.

and they say it reflects the strength of feeling across the sector. i think the response is one of urgency really to rethink this because people are going to make decisions on the retailers side that i think the government doesn't want us to make. i don't think they want us to take some of the actions, particularly around our employees, that this is going to force us to do. the brc claims retailers are facing a £7 billion hit next year as tax increases announced in the budget and other changes take effect. it says higher national insurance bills for employers will cost its members more than £2.3 billion. an increase in the national living wage will add another 2.75 billion, and higher taxes on non—recyclable plastic packaging will cost a further two billion. the brc also says planned changes to business rates, which are meant to ease the tax burden on high street firms, are too far off and don't go far enough.

so we've got a whole swathe of additional costs coming in, so there's a lot of concern on the impact forjobs, for prices and for consequences in high streets up and down the country. the government has defended the changes brought in at the budget as necessary to pay for improvements to public services and increased funding for the nhs. but retailers are far from happy. they think without changes, consumers and their own employees are going to pay a heavy price. theo leggett, bbc news. world leaders meeting at the g20 summit in brazil have agreed a joint statement calling for a "comprehensive, just and durable peace" in ukraine. the statement comes after president biden gave kyiv permission to use long—range us missiles against targets in russia. moscow has warned that their use would represent "the direct

without each other. ifeel like i can't accomplish anything in life without her. harshita brella was living in corby, northamptonshire, but her body was discovered last thursday, 100 miles away on this street in ilford, east london. police have named her husband, 23—year—old pankaj lamba, as the prime suspect in his wife's murder. we know harshita brella had previously been the victim of domestic violence, and a protection order issued by magistrates in september ordered her husband not to harass, pester or intimidate her. a month later, that order expired. 0n the 10th of november, harshita spoke to herfamily in india. this was the last time they heard from her. three days later, police were contacted over concerns for her welfare. the next day, her body was found. an international search for her husband, pankaj, is now under way. more than 60 detectives

are working on the case. meanwhile, northamptonshire police have referred themselves to the police watchdog because of previous contact. in delhi, harshita's family are left wondering what more they could have done. in hindsight, sister sonia wishes they had asked her to come home. translation: quit and come to india. the uk is not safe. come to us, come home, that's what i said to her. even when she gave us the slightest hint, that's what we told her. or we could have sent someone we knew to rescue her. we would have just taken her away from that person. the family are now asking forjustice to be delivered in britain for their daughter. vincent mcaviney, bbc news. british airways passengers faced delays last night because of a technical issue, which left many flights grounded.

northern scotland, northern wales and northern ireland as well. we were told we would see most of the snow on the hills up to 200 millimetres for the regions, even our drive here from north derbyshire and south yorkshire, we came across lots of snow that was up to 100 millimetres deep, even parts of my journey this morning had to be unfit because the side roads, the untreated roads, as much of the country is as well, were very treacherous, you cannot get cars onto the main road from those side roads. many of these roads have been gritted, we have had snowploughs out. early hours of the morning, crews were out, and there would continue to be people out making sure to do they bit to keep people safe. fora sure to do they bit to keep people safe. for a lot of people it will be a case of staying at home because schools across the country will be closed because of the snow and people are being told that if they

can work from home, do that. parts of the m1 sort snow, lots of motorways are down to two lanes or single lane, but a lot of people think it is not whether the challenge. this amount of snow is falling especially on the higher ground, but as the sun comes up, it might start looking rather beautiful but at the moment it sets absolutely freezing cold!— freezing cold! sorry, working from home is not _ freezing cold! sorry, working from home is not really _ freezing cold! sorry, working from home is not really an _ freezing cold! sorry, working from home is not really an option - freezing cold! sorry, working from home is not really an option for. home is not really an option for breakfast report is! you take care and try and stay warm. you know exactly who knows what to do out on the road on a snowy hillside, carol kirkwood! you don't need your flask and your woolly gloves this morning! yes, i'm glad to be inside! as 0li

was saying, it is snowing across northern ireland, northern ireland can north wales and the midlands. this was a weather watch is picture from nottinghamshire, there are unofficial reports of 15 centimetres of lying snow in nottingham. it will be cold wherever you are, it will be snowy at lower that occur in the hills, and at lower levels it is a wet mix of snow, ice and rain. these are the yellow weather warnings in force, that is the lowest warning of weather warning but it could still be disruptive. the snow will move snails, weakening all the time. large flakes of snow on the hills but a wintry mix at lower levels. some rain in the south—west into the channel islands, and further snow showers continuing across the north

of scotland. really seeing accumulations here at up, accompanied by strong winds, said the snow showers will be blowing. in between, dry weather, sunshine and these are the maximum temperatures, you can see 2 degrees in aberdeen, 4 degrees in cardiff. at the moment there is a 22 degrees difference in temperature north to south, currently it is just under —10 in the north of scotland, but plus 12 in cornwall, so a lot to play for, it is very mild in the south. that is a staggering _ it is very mild in the south. trisgt is a staggering difference, carol, thank you. we will have plenty more from carol as the this morning. a search has been launched for the families of two women who were killed more than 90 years ago. the original investigation into the deaths of isabella ruxton and mary rogerson made headlines around the world when scientists used ground—breaking techniques to identify their remains.

now edinburgh university is hoping to find their relatives so they can finally be laid to rest, as bbc scotland's home affairs correspondent david cowan explains. the anatomical collection at edinburgh university contains thousands of bones. the vast majority are very old and impossible to identify, like these skulls from 18th century scotland. but the university is all too aware of who's inside these caskets. the victims of a notorious double murder almost 90 years ago. what's your motive? what's driving all of this? the motive is to do the right thing. the right thing by isabella, the right thing by mary and their families. in 1935, near moffat in dumfries and galloway, dismembered and disfigured human remains were found scattered along a ravine. that sets in motion one of the most important criminal investigations of the 20th century. the killer had used surgical skills to hide their identity, but scottish scientists proved they were isabella ruxton and herfamily�*s nursemaid, mary rogerson, reported missing 100

miles away in lancaster. put simply, anything before the ruxton case is ancient history. anything after the ruxton case is modern, integrated, forensic science—led investigation. that was the difference. it was hugely important. the case against isabella's husband, dr buck ruxton, was hailed as the trial of the century. the jury was shown this booklet with isabella's portrait, an x—ray of her skull, then one superimposed over the other, a chilling match. a new fingerprint technique had identified mary. ruxton was found guilty of murder. huge crowds gathered outside manchester's strangeways prison on the day of his hanging. some of the remains were returned to mary and isabella's grieving families, but others, including their skulls, were retained for medical research. funerals took place with bodies which were incomplete. the remains were stored in a vault alongside documents from the case, and largely forgotten until last year, when an inquiry

from an academic led to their rediscovery. the overriding feeling was ok, these are perhaps not being treated with the full level of care and respect we would want, in particular the feeling of, should we still actually have them here? and might they be better being returned to their families? isabella and buck ruxton's three young children were orphaned and fostered. no—one knows whether they were ever told their father had been hanged for murdering their mother. if there are any relatives of isabella or mary who believe that they would like to have those remains returned to them, we would be delighted to talk to them about what those next steps might be. some people may hear about this and be appalled that the families weren't given back all of the bodies. this was not some cruel disregard. this was... these remains were kept for the advancement of science. the university is hoping someone will come forward so it can help lay isabella and mary to rest 90 years after they died. david cowan, bbc news, edinburgh.

let's take a look at today's papers. the daily telegraph is focusing on farmers. it says they have been told they must pay inheritance tax to fund the nhs, despite the protests planned in central london today. also on farmers, the front page of the sun is reporting that jeremy clarkson will be among those protesting in westminster today. the former top gear presenter has a farm in the cotswolds. the mirror is looking at reports that sir keir starmer has refused to rule out allowing ukraine to use british long—range missiles to hit russia. it comes after president biden approved the use of us weapons. the daily mail reports that dozens of british airways flights were disrupted on monday night after a major it glitch.

it looks like things are now back to normal. cast your mind back to 1994. ican do i can do that, the 90s were amazing! it was the year friends first hit our screens, amazon was founded, and wet wet wet had a hit with love is all around. that went on for a while. don't sing it! it was also the year the national lottery was created. today marks 30 years since the first draw was made on live tv, watched by a record 22 million people. since then, it has created more than 7000 millionaires and multi—millionaires. 0ur reporter tim muffett has been delving in to the archives. release the balls! in november 1994, the uk was gripped by the national lottery. and it could be you. maybe i'm lucky this time. an hour later, the prime minister was buying a ticket. _ well, what was going through my mind

was "please god, i mustn't win." 0n the night of the first draw, a tv spectacular. risk assessment redefined by noel edmonds. in the rear of this high security truck, we've got the centrepiece of the national lottery, the draw machine. and we're taking no chances with security because i'm also driving the jackpot cash! 0n location, anthea turner. i'm queuing up for last minute tickets. you were part of a movement. you were part of hysteria. 22 million people tuned in to the first live lottery draw. although the man whose government had introduced the lottery wasn't one of them. i was out making a speech. it was that time of life really. so no, i wasn't, but i did record it and i did see the excitement that surrounded it. what was going through your mind at that time? because the whole nation was gripped by it. what was running through my mind was i am the only person ever 1
