jenny kumah, bbc news, westminster.ced in 1984, farmers have not paid a penny in inheritance tax, even the very wealthy ones. our business editor simonjack has been finding out who will now be subject to the new tax. there are nearly 210,000 farms in the uk and according to government and industry figures, around 70,000 of those are thought to be worth over £1 million. so, technically could be caught by this new tax threshold. however, that's not the full picture. because of inheritance tax reliefs and special exemptions for bequeathing stuff for spouses and families, the threshold could be as high as 3 million. now, let's compare that number to what's happened in recent years. in 2021 — 2022, only 117 farms were inherited worth more than 2.5 million. not all families will get all of those exemptions but that has led the treasury and independent economists and tax experts to think that the number actually affected by these changes could be as low as 500 a year, although those figures are disputed. there is no doubt it's

among them, the bishop of london, the roman catholic cardinal of westminster and the chief rabbi anda view shared by the bishop of bath and wells. i'm very concerned that, as it stands, the bill does not have sufficient safeguards to ensure that no—one can be pressurised into choosing an early death, either because they feel a burden themselves or potentially that they are caused to feel a burden by others. the bill would give someone expected to die within six months the right to choose to end their own life. the legislation would require two independent doctors and a judge to determine whether the person satisfies the criteria, including a clear wish to do so, free from coercion. the medication to end life must be self—administered. the bishop of london, who signed the letter, is a former chief nursing officerfor england. she and the other signatories argued that what is needed is better palliative care for people at the end of their life. they say that, at present, such care is worryingly underfunded. but a leading rabbi believes religious leaders are out of step with their flocks

ben wright, bbc news, westminster. there's a real sense today of how politics is being recast and remoulded base at home in westminster with the arrival of kemi badenoch as conservative leader and then president—elect trump on over coming days to the special relationship and yes, there are elements of that relationship between washington and london that are long—standing and transcend whoever happens to be prime minister and president. but a big moment this is. there was a wonderful phrase this morning there would be deep breath time in whitehall. the splash of understatement, not because hadn't foreseen a won. they had, but there can be a difference between a hypothetical and a reality and they can be a and their contact with reality. we are about to find out just what that thank the world has that l thank been reacting to donald trump's return to the white house. in a moment, we'll be speaking to steve rosenberg in sochi and james waterhouse in kyiv. but first, our chief international correspondent lyse doucet is inj

he's in westminster, not down the street, what is going on?is, have announced they will close the plant in luton. the reason this has brought a national significance is because this appears to be part of a trend. last week, ford announced it would cut 800 jobs in the uk over the next three years. for�*s rival nissan which has that plant in sunderland of course, talks about the climate for investment in car manufacturing in the uk worsening. and what the government clearly fears is a direction of travel which could quite fast overwhelm the automotive industry here in the uk, and that is clearly something no government would want to happen. but there is a fundamental tension here, because all of those car manufacturers are talking at least in part about the hurdles with the electric vehicles targets that labour inherited from the conservatives, those targets you just described, but nevertheless they are very much committed to them. indeed they brought forward the ultimate target, which is the banning or phasing out the sale, of new petrol and di

there was huge protests in central london yesterday around westminster with a farmer is converging andives are very much backing their call to revoke this inheritance tax that they are now facing. presumably, we would expect that to be one of the issues discussed today?— that to be one of the issues discussed today? absently. the farmer's dispute _ discussed today? absently. the farmer's dispute with _ discussed today? absently. the farmer's dispute with the - farmer's dispute with the government regarding inheritance tax is tricky for the government. they are trying to fight with numbers, policy and with an attempt to free up the markets in agricultural land and it's an emotional argument from farmers. they say we put food on the tables, you are making life harderfor us. the conservatives in the last 24 the conservatives in the last 2a hours very much thrown their weight behind the farmers. it would be surprising, i think, if they didn't use this opportunity at prime minister's questions to make life difficult for the government, to point out the difficulties that some farmers will fa

the have not banned any protest and it does now appear there will be a separate rally going on at westminstero protest who can't get into this official event organised by the national farmers' union. the metropolitan police manage where and when they can take place, they say that they apply the same legislative framework to each and every notification they receive without fear or favour and strongly deny any claims of two—teir policing. there is really deep—set anger among farmers at the changes announced in the budget. i've been speaking to farmers over the last few days, saying this will impact a much wider proportion of farmers than the treasury fear. the treasury say it will only impact the most valuable and most wealthy farmers and it's fair that they pay some inheritance tax. farmers argue that because many farms are large, even if they are cash—poor, they are asset—rich, so that's why they will be taxed. and there are fears from the farming community that will lead to many more farmers being taxed when they pass them on to their children. some breaking news — a british, 22—year—old man

policy area, contrasting with a parliamentary cabinet where in many parliamentary systems, the westminsterves on the cabinet is also a politician, a member of the house of commons, for example, in the british case. we are very familiar here in the uk with cabinets full of political appointees, people who are politicians, full—time politicians. this cabinet so far i think is unusually political for a far i think is unusually politicalfor a us presidential cabinet because he seems to have been selecting people with political loyalty as the overriding criteria and then trying to find some kind of subject expertise latterly. matt gaetz is not one of the most distinguished judicial mines in the us. in contrast to say the current attorney general and thejoe biden who had been a member of the dc circuit court, second highest court in the us. in the past, you have had attorney general is very senior legal officials. matt gaetz credential for this is he has a law degree which is not saying that much.- is he has a law degree which is not saying that much. when you think about _ not saying that much.
