so, all that remains is for me to say thank you to ben glaze and anna isaac. bye for now.ern areas, blue skies overhead and a bit of warmth from that sunshine. encouraged folk onto the beach here in cornwall, whereas it was grey skies, rain and the cool breeze to the north which kept folk away at fraserburgh, aberdeenshire. still lots of cloud across northern scotland tonight, but a few gaps in that to the east, the rain in the north and west will gradually ease for a time, northwesterly breeze but a bit more cloud to northern ireland and northern england compared to recent nights. and a bit of high cloud in the skies above the central southern england and wales, it all adds up to things not being quite as chilly as recent nights. temperatures for most around ten to 15 celsius as we start your friday morning commute. another sunny one for many across southern areas, although sunshine a bit hazier than it has been of late. bit more cloud for northern england and northern ireland, but there will be some breaks to the east of high ground with the chance of one or two showers

political editor of the mirror, ben glaze, and economics and trade correspondent for the telegraph, anna isaacstay with us for that. good evening. iran has summoned the british ambassador in tehran to complain about what it says is the illegal detention of one of its oil tankers in the straits of gibraltar. the vessel was stormed by royal marine commandos this morning after concerns that it was carrying two million barrels of iranian oil to syria, in breach of eu sanctions. british and american authorities have been tracking the vessel for months. it loaded up in iran and may have been expected to take a shorter route from iran, via the suez canal, to syria's mediterranean coast. this would have been cheaper and much safer than the route it actually took, which was around the cape of africa, around the east and then west coast of africa, adding thousands of miles to the journey and carrying this cargo of oil which could be worth hundreds of millions of dollars before it was seized. our defence correspondent jonathan beale reports. britain's ministry of defence has released these photos of the

political editor of the mirror, ben glaze, and economics and trade correspondent for the telegraph, anna isaacthat's coming up after the headlines at 11:30pm. now it's time for the weather with matt taylor. we are stuck in a little bit of a weather no man's land through the next week or so. no real sign of high pressure or low pressure wanting to dominate, and that's the case as we go into friday. thursday's area of high pressure pushes south and west a bit, allowing low pressure in iceland to exert more influence, pushing the cloud further south. a north—south split on friday, rain across the highlands and islands, some patchy rain in scotland, northern ireland and northern england but most staying dry and further south, blue skies dominating, even if there is a bit more cloud. temperature speaking at 27 or28, bit more cloud. temperature speaking at 27 or 28, 80 two fahrenheit, but further north, the mid—teens, especially exposed to that north—west wind, which is more dominant into friday evening and it could be nice in the north of scotla nd could be nice in the north of scotland compared wi

anna isaac is the economics and trade correspondent at the telegraph, she says its a way of creating want to be able to have a competitive tax environment because they feel that will attract bigger companies towards them. ireland have done it for many years. we can see it in distorted gdp figures, they have been playing host to these countries with a very low tax regime, virtually no tax regime where you can set up shop in ireland and be registered there but not registered for tax purposes. you can generate a lot of income in the country but not necessarily be taxed in the country where you are making it. that means they have got vested interest in maintaining that edge over other countries so it's very difficult for the likes of luxembourg or other eu member states, ireland and france to agree on what level is best suited to their needs. the uk has lost patience with it. philip hammond has made a commitment to press ahead with the 2% tax on digital revenue. but we saw last night, when telegraph business wrote a big story about the problems you're getting with us—uk trade talks that

let's get more on this — i'm joined now by anna isaac, who's the economics and trade correspondent att of a big, powerful you push? there have been two multilateral efforts between countries to try and arrive at a way where your bricks and mortar stores are put on the more even footing with the big digital dance, the likes of facebook, amazon, netflix and google, who generate huge amounts of money but their business structure is not easily taxable. one effort was by the eu to see if all of the eu finance ministers could arrive at an agreement. that was not moving fast enough for the french, so they decided to go it alone. the us wanted to try and find a compromise at the oecd, a big form of developed countries where they try and collaborate on international economic issues. but again, that was not moving quickly enough for the french. so this thursday, the french parliament are going to have a vote to see if they can get through a 3% tax on the revenue generated by these massive digital companies to try and level up this playing field. and as we move to a more digitised economy, make
