The front page of the times, wrote to tell revolution. What is this about . A longstanding theme which has been going on for ages and never quite been realised about having road risings. They are charged per mile. Theresa road risings. They are charged per mile. Theres a lot of logic to that because of people are creating more pollution by driving more than theoretically perhaps they should pay more. Hitherto it has always been difficult to have the technology to make that work, things advance with the congestion charge in london overseen by cameras, perhaps it becomes more and more possible, clearly the road haulage association, lorry drivers are complaining about it, lorry drivers suggesting they will be penalised u nfa i rly suggesting they will be penalised unfairly and so on. Given the move towards electric cars, the amount of tax that the government will get from phil be one of those areas they are looking at at to tinker with, that will go down. Theyve got to make up that money from car users somewhere else this is the obvious next step. Strange you would start with lorries, they will become the last vehicles become electric. With lorries, they will become the last vehicles become electricm you think what will be popular with the electorate, going after them will not be popular so start with the lorries. They are the most polluting vehicles generally because they began to have big engines so there is a logic to it from that point of view. The ultimate reason for it is money raising in one sense. At the same time theres also an to deter people from using their cars and necessarily, or if they are using their vehicles and necessarily, therefore they have to deal with the consequences of that pollution which is killing people. The front page of the telegraph has a different story, tax revenge on bank tycoons who bankroll brexit. They are revealing that normally if people make donations to Political Parties, the referendum was not about Political Parties but those who donated to that, apparently the hmrc has discovered that there is an obscure area of inheritance tax which forces people to pay a tax on large gifts upfront, although it does not explain precisely how and why it works. What they are saying here is, this is hitting in particular people who donated to the brexit campaign. I think that particular interpretation of it is seen as an anti brexit attack on those who defied the establishment which is how the telegraph is portraying it, and Jacob Rhys Mogg is quoted as taking that approach. The bigger issue is that there are of accou nta nts the bigger issue is that there are of accountants whose phones will have been ringing off the hook as these letters arrived, saying, hang ona minute, these letters arrived, saying, hang on a minute, i thought i was ok to donate and now you tell me i will get a big tax bill it lists several people who have received tax demands. I imagine for many it will have come out of the blue. You made the point earlier, how often does the point earlier, how often does the referendum, long . You suspect many accountants would not even have looked into it, or as in the case of political donations a significant amount of people are political donors anyway so well have assumed it isa donors anyway so well have assumed it is a similar type of arrangement and so will have been really caught by this. This is why it is an interesting story, this unusual aspect of tax law which i suspect will eventually end up in court, there will be litigation between accountants and lawyers contesting this interpretation of the law but it is interesting that this is what hmrc sees as the law and is trying to enforce it. Jo, the other story on the front page of the telegraph is from the head of tescos about food wasting. Dave lewis, who has been at tesco since 2014 has announced that leftover food will not be thrown away any more and instead will go to charities will be used for animalfood instead will go to charities will be used for animal food or fuel. Instead will go to charities will be used for animalfood orfuel. Its instead will go to charities will be used for animal food or fuel. Its a really interesting move because theres been a lot of talk about food waste. Previous campaigns on theissue, food waste. Previous campaigns on the issue, as those working with an organisation called fare share, a distribution organisation. Interesting that i was looking at the story and saying, this is interesting for a supermarket to make this attack because the government are now looking at waste but are looking at things like plastic. We know that michael gove is moving towards looking at things like the Single Use Plastics and reducing them and that is one area where supermarkets really do have a problem. So what better way to get attention to Something Else by working out what you can do with waste food. Aunties explicit about getting attention although not necessarily about plastic. And this isa necessarily about plastic. And this is a good idea. It is ridiculous that food isjust is a good idea. It is ridiculous that food is just thrown away. 0n is a good idea. It is ridiculous that food is just thrown away. On an individual level i will eat anything that, ive seen things taken off the shelf because they are out of date, i think, i will give something for that, but they say, we cant sell you that, its insane. In this case it will go to charities or animal food or fuel or whatever. Anything that can tackle waste, we are such wasteful nation, anything that tackles waste needs to be welcomed. This resonates particularly at christmas. People are more conscious about plastics and so on, about environmental damage. It is all part of the bigger picture. Of exactly that, making sure that we are not just wasting goods, whether it close, food, excessive use of plastic and so on. Absolutely. Jo, a story about michael gove is on the front of the financial times, warm glow fading as michael loaf is urged to smoke out michael gove is urged to smoke out devotees of wood burning. It evokes the images of people sitting around a roaring fire but actually theres been a growing move against the use of wood burning stoves. A lot of people have log burners installed, its become fashionable again. Despite the use of smokeless fuels there are concerns that there are many of these fires being used and sadiq khan had previously announced that he had written to michael gove in september, and wants to ban them in some areas because of issues about air quality. The government is now looking at regulations to deter the burning of damp wood which a p pa re ntly burning of damp wood which apparently produces more smoke and there also particular smoky types of coal being looked at. It makes a very interesting point at the end of the story, saying the spokesman asked about this story declined to come and other michael gove has a wood burning stove. Come and other michael gove has a woodburning stove. We know that hes just moved into a new house so it might have been the stove he was going for and he will have to get rid of it its so warm now he wont need one martin, the front page of the daily star, a royal race row, what has triggered this. Princess michael has been wearing a bridge, apparently popular many years ago, shes been wearing a brooch, and it is seen as an offence of colonial era depiction, and apparently she wore this to meet Meghan Markle who is of course of mixed ethnicity. And whether she knew she was doing this or not, i suspect not, she has certainly apologised for any offence you might have caused. She may have had no idea about the sensitivity. That is what the story is. It isnt clear that anybody at the lunch was actually offended by it all that Meghan Markle was. Its one of those things that people increasingly sensitive to these things, even if these people are not affected themselves, others are. This picture in one of the newspaper which shows princess michael of kent wearing the brooch in a code pictured going into Buckingham Palace and the big meeting that the queen has before going to sandringham, the big gathering. We dont even know if Meghan Markle saw it because the code would have been taken off by courtiers and never seen again so we have no idea how big this story is or ifany have no idea how big this story is or if any offence was caused but it is big enough to focus on. The thing is big enough to focus on. The thing is the intent, if someone intends to cause offence, thats terrible, if they are simply unaware of something thats a whole different level. And we wont know that. Let me sleep in a final story, the front page of the son. Brooch hamburg you used to work there, did you like fudge. Son. Brooch hamburg you used to work there, did you like fudgelj was never a great work there, did you like fudgelj was never a great fan of these bars. I have a child of nine and the third goes first in our has as well as growing up goes first in our has as well as growing up i wasnt bothered that a nine year old will happily grab the fudge straightaway. Disaster. Christmas has been ruined fudge straightaway. Disaster. Christmas has been ruined i dont know how ill break it to him. Jo, martin, thank you both. Thats it for the papers. Dont forget you can see the front pages of the papers online on the bbc news website. Its all there for you 7 days a week at bbc dot co uk papers and if you miss the programme any evening you can watch it later on bbc iplayer. Thank you both again. Goodbye. Good evening, for anyone travelling in the next few days the weather should not cause many headaches, its quite quiet in the run up to christmas. Mild but generally cloudy weather, the wind picking up a little, more rain arriving across the north. The rain coming into Northern Areas on this front which is yet to arrive in scotland and Northern Ireland, High Pressure still dominates most areas and around the top of the High Pressure we are drawing in Atlantic Winds and clout, low cloud again, quite murky out there especially over the hills and a lot of dry weather of might as well. It will be a bit colder in scotla nd well. It will be a bit colder in scotland and the east river clyde is then, otherwise a mild night, this temperature is not falling that, eight or 9 degrees typically. A lot of cloud around, we may see sunshine here or there, we could see sunshine with stronger winds helping to break up with stronger winds helping to break up the cloud ahead of the rain. Lighter winds for the south, still great, misty and gloomy around these hills, across wales and west of england, hint of sunshine at times, particularly through the midlands, and perhaps for while across the north east of england, even across Northern Ireland, southern and eastern scotland there may be sunshine ahead of this rain which is moving from the north, that rain becoming heavier across the highlands of scotland where it stays wet for some time yet the wetter weather will be moving south, perhaps all the way down to cumbria. And for a while into Northern Ireland, not knowing which way its going, that rain starts to move north once more. England and wales generally dry, mild again, this time on Christmas Eve cloudy skies will dominate, some sunshine at times across eastern areas. Some drizzle over the hills, rain moving back down into Northern Ireland and across south west scotland, heavy rain, turning a bit chilly. Maybe brighter in the far north of the country. More rain on christmas day, strong winds ahead of a train across england and wales where it will be particularly mild. This rain pushing steadily east, things turning a touch cooler across scotland and Northern Ireland. Maybe some of the wintry weather over the tops of the hills of not much cold air coming in with that weather front, yet more changeable, and settled pattern with rain at times. And settled pattern.
