for example, you can go from london to edinburgh off—peak, it would have been £aa and it is now £22.st highlights people are priced off the railway most of the time, in their view, and that costs should be cut further and i'm sure a lot of people who travel by train will say, look, rather than doing a one—off sale, why not offer us some reductions on a more permanent basis? and that argument is also being brought forward by labour, who point to the fact that back in 2010, the average season ticket was around just over £1,000, and today it is over £3,000. fare rises, the fare rise announced in march of 3.8% is the highest we have had in england and wales for nine years. so there is that, too. the government are saying they are trying to encourage people to get out more and they want this to boost uk tourism. they believe that by making people get on the trains, it will encourage people to travel in a more green way as well. so this is their initiative to try and boost that. don't forget, the numbers of people travelling on trains are still far below what they were pre—pandemic and so

hearts are through to the scottish fa cup final — they beat edinburgh rivals hibernian 2—1 at hampdende the ideal start, the game was just over 15 minutes old when striker ellis simms thumped a shot beyond hibs keeper matt macey. and they doubled their lead soon afterwards, stephen kingsley scored from a good free—kick routine. hibs did pull one back through chris cadden, but it's hearts who'll play celtic or rangers in the final. it was a tough game, and credit to the hearts players but also credit to the hibs players. they put us under a lot of pressure. it was a nailbiter at the end. i am delighted to get through. we scored a goal in the five minute period, we did well to get the second. they hung in there and deserve to go through. the teams are warming up ahead of the fa cup semifinal at wembley between liverpool and manchester city which kicks off in 15 minutes time. for liverpool mo salah makes his first fa cup appearance of the season asjurgen klopp makes seven changes for the team which played benfica in midweek. seven changes also for manchester city from the draw in madrid.

earlier i spoke to professor linda bauld, behvioural scientist at the university of edinburgh., it's also a large study, so the researchers from the university of toronto looked from march 2020 right up to march of this year and used global data sets for mortality rates. it hasn't, as you probably know, been published. it is non—peer reviewed, it is being presented at a conference, but they are looking at what we call the weekend of fact which is actually well established and i think they found about a 6% rise in mortality at the weekend compared to weekdays and about 11% in the uk, higher and some other countries. —— they are looking at something called the weekend effect. what we have seen over the years is from other studies looking at people admitted for other conditions, you also see what we call it a weekend effect, there is one systematic review in 2018 that looked at that in detail and that was just a uk studies and found pretty good evidence that it does exist. we don't fully understand the reasons. it could be that, for example, people wait a bit longer to go into hos
