however our political correspondent ben wright says she has been tight—lipped today about her intentionsis campaign that she wants to see tax cuts, she would reverse the national insurance rise. also under consideration i think is a vat cut, changes perhaps to income tax thresholds, it's all in the mix. but one of the policies that rishi sunak brought in when he was chancellor was to have a universal £400 payment that everybody is going to be receiving this autumn, which he thought as chancellor, and still thinks now, is a good approach to make sure everybody gets some sort of benefit as they try and pay their bills. but liz truss�*s team are saying that would not be an approach that she would prioritise at all, she doesn't think it's an efficient way of using money, that she would rather target help through the welfare system probably at the poorest and then focus on tax cuts. we are a week away, just over a week away, from knowing who the next prime minister is going to be, there's still a massive amount we don't know about what they would actually do but the contours of quite differen

earlier, i asked our political correspondent ben wright about this.feels able to have the authority to make a decision about this. the government knew this price cap increase was coming, not the precise figure but it has been talked about for months, and yet people are discovering this news and are very, very worried but ministers cannot say anything with certainty until the new prime minister is in place on the 6th of september. that might be painful but it is logical within the process, isn't it? because they can't agree amongst themselves and borisjohnson has made it clear he will not make any big decisions. there is a lot of work going on, whitehall is working hard, the treasury is brainstorming ideas, as nadhim zahawi said, and the idea is that as soon as a new prime minister walks into number 10, there will be a menu of options presented to them. the candidates have sketched out their thinking. rishi sunak said he would cut vat on energy bills. that wouldn't shvae much off, maybe £150, £200 off an average bill. he has also promised more support

with more, our political correspondent, ben wright is here. good evening, clive.y are the true blue believers in lower tax — but are pitching very different arguments about what should be cut and when. let's look at rishi sunak�*s plan first. last week, he promised to scrap vat on energy bills from october if the price cap rises above £3,000. but mr sunak has warned that deeper tax cuts now would fuel inflation and risk a hike in interest rates. however, he had already committed to cutting the basic rate of income tax in 2024 to 19% and today said he wants to go further — and cut the basic rate by another 3p in the pound within seven years — a move mr sunak claims could be funded by economic growth. we'll do that responsibly overtime, continuing to reduce our borrowing and we'll do it by growing the economy, taking advantage of our brexit freedoms and getting our businesses to invest more and innovate more through the tax reforms that i'm going to put in place. but with energy bills soaring and the cost of living biting, liz truss is offering very different econom

——ben wright reporting. at the weather with helen. hello there. for some parts of the south and east, it's been the driestjuly on record. and the rain that's falling now is unlikely to reach southern areas, but it is quite heavy on a brisk wind across northern areas, and that will continue to push across much of scotland after northern ireland, into northern england, parts of wales, the midlands as well, with a few dribs and drabs further south. but primarily in the south, it's just going to be another warm and muggy night, but it will be much warmer further north, as well, and because we've got that humidity rising, lots of misty low cloud shrouding the hills and the coasts. still some heavy bursts of rain first thing tomorrow. it becomes more showery towards the north of our weather front and still mainly dry in the south and east and very warm, 29, 30 degrees. a warmer day when the sun comes out further north, as well, compared with today. as for the outlook, once that clears away, things will freshen up

soaring energy costs and spiralling inflation — will be a top priority. 0ur political correspondent ben wright their cards very close to their chests, but we learned something more about liz truss' plans today. we did. of both candidates, liz truss has been the most tight—lipped about her plans for tackling spiralling energy bills. tax cuts have been the mantra of her campaign and we know a number of measures are being considered, perhaps a cut to vat or a change to income tax thresholds as well as reducing the rise to national insurance that she has promised. i am told nothing has been ruled in or out and she will also target help at those who need it most. a campaign source and her team also said that another universal hand—out like the £400 every household is going to get this autumn would not be a priority if she wins the contest. that is in stark contrast to rishi sunak, who says everybody should get some direct support as well as help for low income households and pensioners. he thinks that cutting taxes now would be a massive mistake. the contours of two very different approaches are cl

jasmine wright has more on biden's decision to take him out, and ben wedeman joining us with the details on the strike itself. let's start with the strike. it was months in the making. what more do we know about the operation itself? >> reporter: basically it was done by a drone that fired two hell fire missiles on to the balcony of the building that ayman al zawahiri and his family were living in in kabul, it happened at 6:18 a.m. local time in kabul. and this obviously, yes, as we've heard time and time again, this was an operation long in the making. but what is interesting is that until now it is believed that either zawahiri was hiding out in the tribal areas of park stand pakistan or the rural parts of afghanistan. but it was in a fairly well off neighborhood apparently living in building that reportedly was owned by a member of the haqqani network which is part of the taliban movement. it appears that after the taliban were able to take control of afghanistan, that mr. zawahiri felt that he was freer to operate and therefore he was according to the intelligence that the u.s. has p
