ministers, talking about finding 5% efficiency savings within government budget in every government department. there is something very important that is different about this spending review. for the first time in 17 years, what rachel reeves and her deputy darrenjones, the chief secretary to the, i doing in something called a zero—based spending review, so they are going line by line through every piece of government expenditure, however long the government has been doing it for, to try to find out if it is value for money. we will hear more from rachel reeves and darrenjones about this today. they are trying to launch this as a public facing thing. actually, a lot of these negotiations will happen behind closed doors over the next six months or so but they will be really crucial to the shape of this government for years to come. henry, thank ou. israel's prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, is expected to take to the witness stand this morning, for the first time in his trial on corruption allegations. he's accused of bribery, fraud and breach of trust in three separate cases —

the lion's share of the sunshine, a bit more cloud perhaps in some central parts of scotland. england and wales again seeing a fair bit of cloud but we will see some cloud but we
