them that wanted to fly i think one of the principal things about, general davis, he instilled in us sse discipline. and i started outh young peoplek air force inur world war two performances, the aolute key in combat to protect the bombers, to prevent from gettind n by enemy fighters. the 99% squadron was an expert and dropping bombs and hitting targets hitting locomotives. it was awful actually put an aerial combat the 99 squadron did one thing at anzio that no other did it sat down 16 enemy airplanes. so theys that. my all right i think we had quite a bit of c the squadron trying to make ace and we hadewear when we get into space, we gathered some real good friends and.ui aw decorations. i retired yesterday. i feel one of my ambitions for the combat pilot. gone a the set right. and to fort worth came on i turned right and put up a stone wall primary. then was bombing strategic targets like to you? we flew one mission there. it took us all the way up to the czechoslovak and polish border, 50. it was the longest mission i, i think a long 7 hrs, 25 minutes. but i think it's safe to say t

one step closer to the dream, the winners of the sse competition, i want to become a diplomat, were honored in the ministry of belarus today, awarded personally by foreign minister sergei oleynik. there are more than forty young ambitious students from our country in the hall. in future. they all expect to return to these walls in a different way. in the meantime , in addition to gifts for both laureates and winners, the main prize is internship at the ministry of foreign affairs. invaluable experience will help you get to know the department, team and atmosphere better. diplomacy is very is often perceived as some kind of closed club, but this is not entirely true. indeed , diplomacy is the work of professionals, the work of patriots, the work of those who want to give their lives and service for the good of their homeland. therefore, it was important for us that everyone wants to be independent. what profession he chose for himself at the age of 17, he could try himself, he could tell why he wants to become a diplomat, what he wants to bring to this profession. what is diplomacy? for me,

sse is investing 18 billion, there's also going to be other billions and billions of billions of pounds small state owned company need to be set up? >> well, first of all, it gives a lead. it gives confidence to the private sector that the direction of travel is such that when they invest, the government will match it or add to it in some way, shape or form. that's necessary because the private sector in any regard, not just energy, but anything wants certainty from the government. and if the government's policy is not clear on any particular issue, then they don't invest. it's as simple as that. >> but those those numbers have got to be paid for and somebody's got to pay for it. and it's a guy. they're going to be us on our electricity bill, because don't forget, we talk about energy, but this sits on the electricity bill or it's going to come out of general taxation because nobody, you know, this isn't free money. no, no, no. but renewable energy to be absolutely clear to everybody that if they want net zero and i'm not disagreeing with net zero, then there is a big sum of money which

the energy company sse confirmed the peat slip happened in an area of hillside on tuesday afternoon.vestigation is under way to assess the extent of the damage. student maintenance in england covers just over half of the minimum income a university student needs to live on, according to new research. the higher education policy institute says it leaves parents needing to pay out up to £14,000 a year. here's our education editor, branwen jeffreys. rent is the biggest living cost forstudents, but food, clothes, transport all add up too. this report calculates for the first time a minimum student income. and outside london, maintenance support covers just over half that, leaving parents trying to help and students struggling with the rising cost of living. the new research shows that the maintenance package has fallen, it only covers 55% of the current costs at university. so that's obviously significantly behind the minimum, that'sjust the minimum standards they need to live off. so that means that students are being left without enough funding to survive the higher education experienc

sse is investing 18 billion over the next five years.12 billion, so that's private. why do we need a small state owned company at the taxpayers expense? >> well, whether it's a small state owned company or a large one, actually, to be honest with you, and whether that is the taxpayers expense, i mean, that 8.3 billion there, this is what they're saying, not necessarily what my policy would be. and the climate party would do it very differently. but i mean, in terms of what we're talking about, he's talking about 8.3 billion that he's going to get from windfall taxes. you know, on the fossil fuel companies. and then he's going to reinvest it. i do want to question that anyway, because under all these windfall taxes and all the taxes we do on fossil fuels, we regift it all back to them in tax rebates, which can go over 100% when they're drilling for oil in the north sea. so in actual fact, i am really unsure if any of that money coming from the fossil fuel companies could ever be reapplied in this way. i don't think it could be okay. >> i

what i did here that broke th then i had no choice therefore had to break the law and it was in so sse involuntary, to use a term that -- that ma he been discussing. so, ther y -- it would be very narrow. it is a very narrow defense. so it would be in that moment of -- justice kagan: so -- so suppose that there is a person who is homeless and there are no shelter beds available and the person has no place to go, and the person, of course, has to sleep. and thpeon -- it's cold outside. the person has a blanket. soh's the minimum conduct that the law prohibits. sohe person sleeps outside with a blanket, and poce ficer comes, and in the -- but the person says, well, i h n place else to go. would the city continue to push for some kind palty? ms. evangelis: well, there, if a pers reived a citation, so if they did, then they would have a defense of necessity. it's asserted as a defense. so what the other side is trying -- justice kagan: well, it's asserted as dense. ms. evangelis: yes. justice kagan: i mn but -- so you're not willing to say no, 're going to tell all our police officers that

a few days ago, you had the energy company sse announce £2 billion of profits.u know, one of the other energy companies, edf, it stands for energy de france. it's a state owned company. it's just owned by the french state, making money off british consumers. so i think there is an audience for that. and i think there's a potentially receptive message for that. for labour across the doorstep in the country. >> okay. lauren belcross, good to talk to you. thank you. >> also joining us now is the senior political analyst for orthodox conservatives, david moore, a very good morning to you. as we start the weekend, we'll see rishi sunak and others out and about. but it wasn't a great start to his campaign , was great start to his campaign, was it? with the rain on him and getting football wrong . and what getting football wrong. and what was the other. oh yeah. and talking from the titanic, do you think over the weekend, i think it said that he's going to have a family day to day, isn't it? i don't know, sort of day off, but certainly over the weekend. aren't they goi
