here is philip hammond on the steps of number 11, the first and last time we will see philip hammond them any more. but we will see him again in the autumn because he will be doing an autumn budget. a traditional posed by mr hammond, holding the red box. theresa may has already gone to the commons in preparations to pmq ‘s, usually on budget day, pmq ‘s is a rather understated affair, because all eyes are focused and everyone is waiting, for the big moment, for the budget moment. pmq ‘s can be a bit underpowered and there is a lot speculation that this budget may be less of an important political event thatis less of an important political event that is often the case because philip hammond has pretty much already signalled to us, that he hasn't got any spare money to spend, and what their money he has got he wa nts to and what their money he has got he wants to keep back because of the potential difficulties that the economy might face, with brexit and leaving the european union, and focused on trying to get the deficits down. there might be a little bit of money but not much and wh

the right honourable philip hammond... at his first and most spring budget.t will be in the autumn. norman lamont also build what was billed as the last bring budget. later, he was sacked. so wish be like today. the country's finances less picky than expected, but as he knows, hardly any clear. our report today on an economy that has continue to confound the commentators with robust growth. —— peaky. they commentators with robust growth. —— pea ky. they labour market commentators with robust growth. —— peaky. they labour market with record employment at a deficit down by two thirds. as we start our negotiations to exit the european union, this budget to export our plan to prepare britain for a brighterfuture. plan to prepare britain for a brighter future. that no. —— but no. cuts. -- but no. cuts. some have argued that lower borrowing this year makes a case for more borrowed spending in the future i disagree. we on this side will not settle our children with ever increasing debt. but he did break with the plan and arguably broke his party's manifesto promise,

the right honourable philip hammond.h and that's how the chancellor started. i report today on an economy that has continued to confound the commentators with robust growth, a labour market delivering record employment and a deficit down by over two—thirds. as we start our negotiations to exit the european union, this budget takes forward our plan to prepare britain for a brighterfuture. he told mps the uk's debt and borrowing was still far too high. so the only responsible course of action, mr deputy speaker, is to continue with our plan. undeterred by any short—term fluctuations and undistracted. .. undistracted. .. undistracted by the reckless policies advanced by the opposition. because, mr deputy speaker, we on this side will not saddle our children with ever increasing debt. but after repeated claims the social care system is in crisis, the chancellor promised to help ease the pressure. i am committing additional grant funding of £2 billion to social care in england over the next three years. and he unveiled extra

people of also talked about the fact that philip hammond didn't mention brexit that much. in the room. you think he should have said more about brexit and what is coming down the track was maclj think we have got from the government over the past few weeks is an attempt to somehow quash any debate. this is shallow about —— issue about parliament having the final say, they are not sure about it. they threatened to abolish the hands of lourdes, so i think it is a clamp—down. —— the house of lords. what is labour's answer? we know you wa nt what is labour's answer? we know you want more spending on the nhs, on social care, but how will you find it, and will you do the same as philip hammond, to balance the books in the next parliament? we will say that we will only spend money from taxes on day—to—day expenditure, and anything else will be investment money. that will be our fiscal rule. this is a budget of choices. the government decided it wanted to give tax cuts to corporations, tax cuts in relation to the bank levy, capital gains and inheritance tax cuts. they have made a

it seems philip hammond is cut from a different cloth.y in the telegraph is very much talking about this idea that there are two camps. those who believe the state should be involved and they should raise lots of taxes and do lots of things, and those who think you should step back and keep taxes low and let other sectors take on responsibility. theresa may and philip hammond believed they can get away with breaking a policy pledge because there is no one to pick them up because there is no one to pick them up on it. is that the implication? the labour party are whatever and the snp have however many mps, but they can get away with it. that is right. the labour party is polling 2596, right. the labour party is polling 25%, that is extraordinary. labour and the opposition generally are pretty good at flagging up warning signs. they have been going on for several weeks about the rate rises, so they were on message today. they saw that storm brewing and they headed it off today. they put in changes to business rates which have been causing s

i doubt that philip hammond will tamper with foreign aid.other parts of the manifesto in successive budgets? probably only about 15 words from the liberal democrat one! there are endless subclauses. it's all very well for you to say, they don't read it, but the manifesto is meant to set out what the government believes in. pe—i!!i.e-j.> heel; "gage-s: we 93-3 e§q|jf e .. . w. ”7, ., it's a promise, you say, this is what we are going to do, vote for us and then we do it whether you believe it or not, you have to go out of your way to do it, especially when these sun readers vote for you would it not dead, you can't turn round and say, no thanks. he is in a terrible mess and we have sympathy. the other thing we will see if the triple lock promised on pensions. the spending on the triple lock and protecting gray '5 spending oaps is astronomical, about £78 billion, which puts all of these 3 billion here and there on national insurance rises into a small corner. philip hammond has bravely, i think, already said, we need to look at this. whether t

the times describes the policy as a tax on red, while the express says philip philip hammond is layinge daily express asks what is so funny. the mail shows a picture of philip hammond and says it is no laughing matter. all the references a re it is no laughing matter. all the references are to joked and laughed. this is a man who is supposed to be very dour, a spreadsheet guy, a policy wonk, but he is cracking jokes as if he was les dawson. the most surprising thing about his budget speech was that because we knew it. we knew there would be extra money for social care, education, betty level, or help for business rates. we read about the national insurance contributions rising and we knew the obr would be changing their forecast. so the jokes were the surprise. but still it has to be said, caroline, the front page of the times, philip hammond's £2 billion tax rate. the indications were that this was going to happen, he was going to have to do something about social care and he would have to find the money somewhere and that national insurers would be the area

the question is whether philip hammond is prepared to do that.ks but they failed terribly last time, will they be able to come to a long—term solution on this very crucial issue? many thanks, vicki young. with me now is the political economist will hutton, who also chairs the big innovation centre which helps businesses move forward. what is your overall impression of this budget? it had a little bit more wiggle room because of the obr's more wiggle room because of the 0br's increased growth forecast for the next year, but we know there are headwinds, whether it is inflation, the effect of brexit and so on?” personally take the view that brexit is much more serious than the office for budget responsibility allowed for, so i really don't believe these forecasts. you think they have been overgenerous? yes, i think things will look much worse in 2018, 2019 and 2020 dummy forecast. i think inflation will be higher, exports will be less responsive, i think the situation will be much more depressing than the picture painted here. i think philip hammond

the chancellor philip hammond defends raising taxes on the self—employed.r hammond said the government was facing new spending challenges which it has to rise to. what i did yesterday was address the basic continuing unfairness in the current system, the benefits available to the self—employed have significantly improved. this is not the time to do it when consumer spending isjust this is not the time to do it when consumer spending is just dipping and at the front line are the effects of the sole traders, the self—employed. we'll be asking just how much political pressure the chancellor is now under. also this lunchtime. jeremy hunt says the nhs has to improve its performance now that social care is being given an extra £2 billion. feeling the squeeze. john lewis cuts its staff bonuses in the face of what it calls an "increasingly uncertain market." a university lecturer has been arrested in australia on child sex abuse charges after he impersonated the pop starjustin bieber online. made this memorial can read the lives in service of all who took pa rt liv

despite the ongoing uncertainty over brexit, philip hammond received an eve—of—budget boost from theation for economic co—operation and development. it now expects growth in the uk of 1.6% this year, up from its previous estimate of 1.2%. in theory this means more tax revenue for the treasury and more money flowing in to the government's coffers. despite this, economists are not expecting a spending spree from mr hammond. instead, he's expected to put the additional funds to one side in a brexit war chest as britain prepares for its divorce settlement with brussels. nevertheless, one area which may receive some immediate attention are the so—called "business rates" paid on commercial property. despite the government's reassurances that britain remains open for business, some companies will see more than a 40% rise in their property rates. to help cushion the blow, the treasury has already announced that corporation tax will fall to i7% by the end of the decade. with me is victoria waldersee, commissioning editor for economy. what are you expecting from the budget? i think from everyt

sources say philip hammond is privately bullish about the changes. initial explanation of the measures may have fallen short. the government insists its plans are fair, but philip hammond said no chancellor can rule out future tax changes. adding, that's a golden rule. studio: well, the independent economics think tank the institute for fiscal studies has been looking through the chancellor's budget and has been giving its initial analysis of it to our economics correspondent andy verity, who's here. what is the broad assessment? they we re what is the broad assessment? they were struck by something that the 0ffice were struck by something that the office for budget responsibility had said, saying that we have a new normal in the economy, slower growth, growth that is not really produce growth in incomes like it used to. that capacity to increase productivity so we are all producing goods and services which justifies pay going up has been a bit clapped out over the last ten years. they are calling the last ten years since the crash the worst decade f

philip hammond has a deserved reputation as a safe pair of hands.completely clean pair of heels. that said, i think it's unlikely at this stage today, his first budget, historic in that sense, will be looked back as a major, major moment. laura kuenssberg with her thoughts there on the budget. more details on our website. that's at bbc.co.uk/budget. all the details of the chancellor's announcements are there with updates and analysis from our editors and senior correspondents. take a look at the site there for us. let's turn to the day's other main stories. in afghanistan, the islamic state group has said it was responsible for an attack on a military hospital in the capital kabul. at least 30 people died when gunmen, dressed as doctors, stormed the building. army commandos took several hours to regain control after landing by helicopter on the roof, as our correspondent, james robbins, now tells us. smoke billows from afghanistan's largest military hospital, a small group of four or five is extremists have overwhelmed its defences and are using gun

philip hammond says he wants to get rid of it by 2025.sterity to get the deficit down to zero. the chancellor didn't mention brexit, so this could be changing and it could go out of the window? one of the things economic forecasters will tell you is there is more uncertainty about what will happen over the next five or six years. we some central forecast and the obr and the treasury are saying we should get some modest growth, but things could turn out better than that. or they could turn out worse than that. it is not until we know how the economy is going to react that we don't know what the public finance and tax and spending consequences are going to be. we have an update from cleveland police following the rape in redcar of the mother who was abducted with her toddler. they are saying as a result of police enquiries, officers have established the circumstances surrounding a report of rape in redcar on friday the 3rd of march, are not as thought. police are not looking for two men who forced a mother and her toddler into a car on redc

i think philip's a great chancellor, i think he's done a really good job.ust something that slipped through the net. what we've got to do is make sure it doesn't get through the net, we've got to make sure it gets stopped, the chancellor needs to do a u—turn, needs to do it quickly. this is not sending out the message which i know every conservative member of parliament believes in, which is supporting business growth. these people are making the growth of the future. and labour say the change is unfair on self—employed people. they don't get access to the same benefits, statutory sick pay, maternity pay, paternity pay, access to industrial disablement benefits, those sorts of things. that's what i thought he was going to start consulting about, but all he's offered them is an increase in national insurance and a possible reviewer on later stage. that's not acceptable. treasury sources say the chancellor is privately bullish about his tax plans. they hope the argument that they make the system fairer will persuade tory mps. there will have to be a vote on a

something philip hammond had to acknowledge. he was not given much room for maneuver because in terms of the debt, he wants to keep to that target to balance the budget by the ninth parliamentary term beginning in 2020. to be reduceding by 23.5 billion pounds over the next five years. in terms of taxes, there were some concessions in terms of business rates, but there was a tax rise for the self-employed which has come under some criticism. a drop in the tax dividends. at the beginning of his speech, he summed it up like this. the deficit has come down. there were cuts to the deficit forecast. debt is still high. yes, employment is rising, productivity is still low. mark: we will see you in about 20 minutes. thank you. let's get more insight on brexit. the big ecb decision tomorrow. lou is here, senior investment manager at aberdeen management. great to see you. you are a bonds guy. it is exciting, isn't it? why aren't we getting more excited about the 10 year today? >> trying to be excited about the budget. that's remember the

my my voice went up when i said philip hammond predicts the uk economy will grow by 2%.s very exciting. actually, referring to the budget of course, it is exciting. normally budgets are absolute snooze —fest, but the exciting thing is looked at international papers, what does eve ryo ne international papers, what does everyone else make of the budget? the headline was brexit yet to impact group. it has been outstanding that we have this huge economic event going on, and yet british growth is set to continue. cani british growth is set to continue. can i say something, the event hasn't started. as you know, the market works on anticipation and expectation. it has already started. just look at the price... the pound rate. that's been part of the good news. i have a role with the department of international trade. we are so busy with exports and the reason is the pound is at 20 years — year reason is the pound is at 20 years —— year lows, so it has been great for the economy, in that it hasn't been nearly as bad as expected, if anything there has been a move upwards. the on

the headlines: the chancellor philip hammond has increased national insurance bills for self—employedeople in his first budget, leading to accusations he has broken a manifesto pledge not to raise taxes. the budget included an extra £2 billion for the social care system in england, as the chancellor said he was putting the economy on a solid footing. as we start our negotiations to exit the eu, this budget takes forward oui’ the eu, this budget takes forward our plan to prepare britain for a brighterfuture. the labour leader, jeremy corbyn, said the budget was built on unfairness and provided tax breaks for the few and public service cuts for the many. utter complacency about the crisis facing our public services, and complacent about the reality of daily life for millions of people in this country. in other news, police searching for missing airman corrie mckeague say they are "confident" his body will be found at a landfill site. the raf serviceman has not been seen since a night out in suffolk in september. the website wikileaks has published thousands of pages of what it says are

spokesman, the chancellor's press secretary, was asked about this so—called war chest, £25 billion philiphis parliament, and a spokesman very tellingly said that he would not call it a war chest but a tank of fuel for a long journey. we know that despite the fact that brexit was not mentioned much today, it is coming down the track. it is uncertain, and some people still expect dumps when it comes to economic performance, so he is keeping that money in case of hard times. let's say that he is keeping it for a times. let's say that he is keeping itfora rainy times. let's say that he is keeping it for a rainy day, as george 0sborne might have said. there are many in the cabinet who thinks brexit opportunities and it will be a wonderful thing for the economy, but there are others who are concerned about what may happen. thanks for that. iamjoined by i am joined by ian stewart, chief economist at deloitte. this was the first budget since the vote to leave the eu. we had the autumn statement in november, but this was a sort of road map, the beginning of a road map, for the governing party to l

own poll claiming the conservative party is no longer seen as a party of low taxation, following philipsurance rise for self—employed workers in the budget. new migrant crisis on way, says the express, which claims a surge of people travelling to europe has sparked fears of another summer of chaos at britain's borders. the times reports on grammar schools — saying they'll be forced to offer lower 11—plus pass marks to children from poorer backgrounds, or embrace similar moves, to end what it calls the middle—class stranglehold. and the mirror has an interview with paul burrell, the former butler of diana, princess of wales, who he claims talks to him in dreams. we shall start with the i. brexit may be triggered by tuesday. surprisingly. that means technically we could be off on tuesday. that is a surprise, not in terms of our own action, but in response to the european council. they are saying we could clear an our side in 48 hours. so by the end of the week, it could be in full effect. then they'll say you can come back at any point in the future, just to muddy the waters. this is upri

i think philip hammond was right to push that. a surplus as soon as is, that is what everybody seems to be contending with. he has got an anchor, but it is not very tough. he is talking about cyclically—adjusted borrowing being 2% of gdp by 2020, i have been pressing that all night. joking apart, that is a very loose target. and of course, because the 0br is forecasting it will only be 0.9% of gdp, that gives him this quote... none of this actually matters. there is no empirical evidence. the debt to gdp ratio in the uk is not abnormally high compared to other advanced countries. what actually matters is what you are investing in. the us after the prices in 2009 had a 10% deficit but invested that in areas that today is producing growth. it depends what you're doing. we need to leave it there. thank you, all. that's it for tonight, on the day of a budget speech heavy on gags and light on the traditional rabbits out of hats. it sort of reminded us of this. we use a new method altogether. here we go. a rabbit from a hat. new method.

but the labour leader accuses philip hammond of producing a complacent budget.o is reaping the rewards of this economy? for millions, it is simply not working. away from the budget and back to brexit, and predictions of long delays in the processing of residency applications by the home office. it would take the home office more than 50 years... 50 years to deal with 3.2 million european nationals in the uk. it was phlip hammond's first budget and, curiously, it was actually his last. or at least, his last to be presented in march. from now on, the annual budget will take place in the autumn. the chancellor called it a ‘fair‘ package of measures. there was £2 billion for social care, relief for those hit by changes to business rates, and higher national insurance contributions facing the self—employed. in the late morning, outside 11 downing street, the chancellor paraded the familiar red box, complete with its detailed contents — some unveiled in advance, some still to be announced. the chancellor posed for the photographers... and then made his way the relativ

so where is philip hammond?ering and the jokes in the budget. then he was clobbered by usually friendly newspapers yesterday, and now this from a predecessor, on top of a number of conservative mps being unearthed by the plans. the government is repeating that it says these changes are about making the tax system fairer, but it says they will listen to criticism over the summer before they draft a new law in the autumn. tens of thousands of south koreans have come out onto the streets of the capital, seoul, after the country's president was removed from office, following a corruption scandal. supporters of park guen—hye clashed with police, leaving two people dead and dozens injured. her opponents celebrated into the night. steve evans reports from seoul on the political turmoil engulfing the country. amazing scenes outside court, as pro—park protesters clashed with police. 0fficers struggled in a tug of war to stop a bus being turned over. two protesters died. moments earlier, inside court, president park was s

philip hammond says those tax—raising measures make the system fairer.it that way. the chancellor announced an extra £2 billion for social care, admitting the system "is clearly under pressure". the money will be spent in england over the next three years. while the money has been widely welcomed, there's been criticism that it's still not enough money and won't fix a system that's no longer fit for purpose. our social affairs correspondent alison holt reports from nottinghamshire. four times a day, care workers help 76—year—old avril with such things as washing, dressing and getting to the toilet. the rest of the time, her husband looks after her in their nottinghamshire home. a stroke left her partly paralysed. this is what the extra £2 billion announced for social care will help pay for. the couple believe it is something the chancellor had to do. it's notjust me that needs it, it's chancellor had to do. it's notjust me that needs it, its people that can't do nothing. what would you say to the chancellor? get your hand in your pocket. how would he lik

you'd have as much as philip green!e that one? it is harder, to different mess metals, it is 12 sided, lots of reasons. two years ago, 38 people were killed by gunfire at a resort in tunisia. for six weeks the inquests into the 30 british deaths have been taking place. a coroner concluded the victims had been unlawfully killed. suzanne evans lost her eldest son, brother and father. cheryl stollery saw her husband john killed next to her. both suzanne and cheryl have been speaking to our correspondent, sarah campbell. i hope people will never forget what happened to my family, my son, my brother and my dad. within 12 hours of arriving on holiday, they were murdered and the only protection they had was each other. words will never explain the devastation of losing my family in such an horrific manner, and every day is a struggle. my thought at the time was i'm going to die and where was my son? we were trying to seek refuge, we didn't know where to go, no one was directing us anywhere. it was just a free for all. that was

philip hammond is insisting it is not.er tax hike, most of us, we are so used to hearing the stories about these politicians breaking promises, i am not surprised. are you angry? do you accept the chancellor's view it is about levelling the playing field on tax? not really, no. there was a great increase in the number of self—employed after the financial crash. they properly saw packs reve nu es crash. they properly saw packs revenues fall because of that —— probably saw tax revenues. it is a market they have missed out revenue on. it is not a surprise that this government or any government would again makea government or any government would again make a tax hike. you are a pub landlord, sean, you were unexpected winners in this budget. it seems that way. i represent a lot of pubs, 29 pubs, very large increase averaging 27,000 in rental values. £1000 in the first year is good. we we re £1000 in the first year is good. we were hoping for a fundamental review on the rate system and are specifically looking at public houses

sources say philip hammond is privately bullish about the changes.ial explanation of the measures may have fallen short. the government insists its plans are fair, but philip hammond said no chancellor can rule out future tax changes. adding, that's a golden rule. earlier our assistant political editor norman smith told us the chance of the philip hammond is feeling the pressure. within the treasury they are still confident they can pull this off. why? they acknowledge they made a bit of a hash of selling the policy yesterday. surely they can do better over the coming weeks and months. added to which they think the fairness argument that those self—employed should pay the same tax as those who work for bosses, they think it will begin to gain traction. they are beginning to put stick about suggesting if tory mps don't like this tax rise they might not be able to get that £2 billion for social care. significantly, we are beginning to see tory backbenchers breaking cover to come out and defend the tax rise. among them conservative richard graham. if th

as philip hammond is attacked from all sides for raising national insurance, will this become theresar director of communications spells out the danger. he can explain to people, here is a path i took and this is why it is not a breach of a manifesto promise. the problem with that, as you are asking me and as you should rightly ask him and other members of the government, is people perceive this to be a breach. we'll be discussing making and breaking political promises. and on viewsnight... also tonight, we discuss isabelle huppert and paul verhoeven‘s golden globe—winning thriller, elle, and its complex portrayal of one woman's response to the most horrific rape. can cinema take us to dark places where accepted views on rape are challenged through the character of a woman who refuses to be a victim?

it had several years of smaller increases than it needs and this is a big test for philip hammond inl give to it. the suggestion in some of the papers are that he will kick the can down the road to use an american phrase, and try and solve the problem in the autumn. i need to bring this to a close. john and charlie, thank you so much. do you know what, let's just stop here and head to the film review. it is lovely to see both of you. hello and welcome to the film review on bbc news. to take us through this week's cinema releases, as ever, is mark kermode. hello, mark — what's in store? so a very mixed bag — we have logan, a superhero movie that isn't really a superhero movie. viceroy‘s house, a very handsome period drama from gurinder chadha. and certain women, the latest low—key offering from kelly reichardt. so wolverine, back with us. yeah, although in a way that kind of missells it. so this is basically a superhero movie that isn't about superheroes — it's about ageing, and it's about arthritis, and it's

the chancellor, philip hammond, has said he wants to maintain fiscal discipline and reduce borrowings budget on wednesday. speaking to the bbc‘s andrew marr show he argued that "there needs to be reserves in the tank". but the shadow chancellor said that if the economy grew at a faster rate, more money should be invested in public services. susana mendonca said he has made it clear he doesn't want to go on any spending spree. wants to go on any spending spree. wants to make sure there is enough money to make sure there is enough money to give him the flexibility in dealing with any uncertainty with brexit. when people ask him to spend more on social care, there was no movement on that when he spoke to andrew marr earlier. he was keeping his cards close to his chest, but we don't expect him to be spending a great deal of money on wednesday. we are spending over £50 billion a year just paying interest on our debt. that is more than we spend on overseas aid and defence together. this isn't money in a pot. what is being speculated on is whether we might not have borrowed quite as much as
