The people in it not quite so much. Thank you lets speak to our political correspondent, iain watson. Thank you forjoining us. We heard George Galloway there saying he always loved the building, but what kind of reception are we expecting for him in parliament . Kind of reception are we expecting for him in parliament . When he said he didnt quite for him in parliament . When he said he didnt quite love for him in parliament . When he said he didnt quite love the for him in parliament . When he said he didnt quite love the people for him in parliament . When he said he didnt quite love the people in he didnt quite love the people in it quite so much, that feeling, believe me, is mutual. George galloway goes in there as the only Workers Party mp, he will have no natural allies in the commons and there will be some people, perhaps suspended by the mainstream parties, that he might wish to work with. He will hope to work with a wider group of mps on one specific issue on the conflict in the middle east. I think it will be quite difficult for him to build working relationships with many people in the other parties, not least because he spent the whole campaign denouncing them. For example, hes talked about the closeness of rishi sunak to keir starmer, he has said he despises the prime minister. The prime minister, as you were saying, said it was beyond alarming that George Galloway had been elected. George galloway is also said keir starmer, the leader of the labour partys job 100 times more difficult. You can see already what the atmosphere will be like in the house of commons. In terms of getting legislation through on any of the topics he favours, he has virtually no chance. But in terms of making a political argument on the causes and the issues that he cares about, well, he is a very powerful orator, obviously a very good campaigner. He can use the comments as a platform for those views. I think of the record it fills some mps with trepidation, speaking especially to labour mps, they were worried that his rhetoric may be divisive, that more communities may feel an enhanced feeling of tension and that he may well be able to successfully pick at any kind of divisions within the labours ranks and highlight them for his own ends. That was the view. Many of them not talking publicly about this or going on the record about it, but they are concerned about the presence he could have. He is only one mp but he is a very experienced mp, is a labour mp and an mp for the Respect Party subsequently when he was chucked out of labour, now under his new vehicle the Workers Party. He knows Parliament Inside out, he knows Parliament Inside out, he knows how to use its procedures and i think you will make an impact. Iain watson, thank you for that update. And of course we will bring you more on George Galloway� s first day being sworn in to parliament. There is more on our bbc website and app. Staying with uk politics now. The chancellor, jeremy hunt is under growing pressure to introduce tax cuts in wednesdays budget which is likely to be the last before the next general election. Some backbench conservative mps want to see taxes lowered. Mr hunt has hinted he will do that but only in a responsible way. But how possible is this, at a time when budgets are tight . 0ur political correspondent, hannah miller, reports. It can seem like everyone is crying out for cash. We have got roads full of potholes. Are you confident that the chancellor will be persuaded to give you more money to spend on housing in the budget in a few weeks time . Well, im doing everything that i can. I mean, short of laying siege to his own home. Well, i want us to be, you know, l cutting taxes in a responsible way. Under pressure from backbenchers and with less money to play with than hed hoped for the chancellors scrabbling around for ways to pay for a tax cut on a scale that voters will notice. Today, mr speaker, im going to cut the main 12 rate of Employee National insurance. Last year, he chose to cut National Insurance contributions and its thought he may do that again. A tax cut for workers that brings no benefit to pensioners. The Number Crunching going on inside number 11 is not just about the state of the nations finances its a political calculation, as well. Under the rules the government has set for itself, theres a limited amount of money for the chancellor to spend. Do people want to see more going into public services, or more cash in their own back pocket . While the government is today announcing £360 million for manufacturing, investing in Medicines Research and zero carbon aircraft, labour say they would have a focus on getting young people into work with careers advisers, Mental Health support and new technical excellence colleges to cut youth unemployment. Businesses say those are welcome, but theres more that could be done to encourage growth. Wed like to see the rising tide lift all boats, and measures in the budget such as changing vat on international visitors, changes to the vat threshold, and changes to Business Rates that can actually help all businesses grow and prosper. Whatever the chancellor chooses to do on wednesday, the tax burden is historically high. Its pretty much impossible to imagine that he can do anything to prevent households from paying more tax than in 2019, and that may come with a political price. Hannah miller, bbc news. The Church Of England has accepted a £1 billion target to address historical financial links to the slave trade as recommended by an Oversight Group led by descendants of Enslaved Africans which said the initial £100 million was too low. Lets speak to our correspondent ellie price. Thank you so much for your time. What do we know about the reports recommendations . figs your time. What do we know about the reports recommendations . Your time. What do we know about the reports recommendations . As you say it is based on reports recommendations . As you say it is based on this reports recommendations . As you say it is based on this £100 reports recommendations . As you say it is based on this £100 million it is based on this £100 million figure, a figure that was come up with Injanuary Last year figure, a figure that was come up with in january last year and figure, a figure that was come up with Injanuary Last year and its report looked into whether that was enough and exactly how money might be spent. Now, it maintained basically that that £100 million fund wouldnt necessarily be enough, that the target should be up to £1 billion. But what we are hearing todayis billion. But what we are hearing today is a bit more details of exactly how it might work in practice. What it looks like is the Church Of England here will essentially stump up that cash of £100 million to start with, with the Ambition Being that it will sort of start, the investments that it makes will start to generate more money and other investors would come on tap, if you like, to make that further investment up to about £1 billion over the next nine years. They also want, originally the report had said that money should be spent over the next nine years, they want to make that quicker, to happen within five years. That was the kind of headline figure today. What was already so interesting coming out of that report was this idea that the Church Of England wanted to be seen as something of a catalyst, ie, apologising for its role in the past, but also stumping up the cash, the inference being that other major institutions here in england should basically take responsibility for their role in the past, that the research has been done and many organisations, institutions and companies that still exist, that was started may be 300 years ago, benefited from the slave trade and they, too, should follow suit and stump up the cash. White mekelle, thank you for the update. Lets speak to the author of searching for my speak to the author of searching for my slave roots who is also a candidate in Mercantile Hegemony in university of cambridge. We are talking about your degrees but i know this is far more personal to you than just a matter of degrees. Id like to go into that personal story shortly. But first, id love to know more about your personal reaction when you hear that the church is trying to come as it said, hell. ~ church is trying to come as it said, hell. ~ ,. , church is trying to come as it said, hell. , ~ ,. ,. , church is trying to come as it said, hell. ~ ,. ,. ,. ,. , hell.

Im really glad to hear that the this show. Im really glad to hear that the Church Of England has taken what i that the Church Of England has taken what i would say is the first steps towards what i would say is the first steps towards preparatoryjustice. 0f towards preparatory justice. Of course, towards preparatoryjustice. Of course, the initial announcement of £100 course, the initial announcement of £100 million was based upon the investments that the church received, bequeathed to them by queen received, bequeathed to them by queen and who started a fund in 1704 call the queen and who started a fund in 1704 call the queen annes bounty which was for call the queen annes bounty which was for the call the queen annes bounty which was for the development of poor anglican was for the development of poor anglican clergy. The queen annes bounty anglican clergy. The queen annes bounty invested in Slave Trading Enterprises such as the Southsea Companx enterprises such as the southsea company. When this was left and bequeathed it to the church, a £100 million bequeathed it to the church, a £100 million figure was based on that. That is million figure was based on that. That is one million figure was based on that. That is one single bequeathed entity that the that is one single bequeathed entity that the church received. The church received that the church received. The church received thousands of such bounties. This does received thousands of such bounties. This does not look at the churches that were this does not look at the churches that were built by individual Slave Traders that were built by individual Slave Traders. My own ancestors were enslaved traders. My own ancestors were enslaved by a company in liverpool. They built enslaved by a company in liverpool. They built churches in the hague. There they built churches in the hague. There is, they built churches in the hague. There is, slave trade is in the hague there is, slave trade is in the hague iri there is, slave trade is in the hague. In there is in aigburth. There hague. In there is in aigburth. There are hague. In there is in aigburth. There are so many churches that they built there are so many churches that they built they there are so many churches that they built. They have clergy in all branches built. They have clergy in all branches of their family and they are just branches of their family and they are just one slave trading family. So there are just one slave trading family. So there are individual churches that have so there are individual churches that have been built and endowed iilht that have been built and endowed right across the country, and of course right across the country, and of course the right across the country, and of course the british empire. And when you aggregate the income that they received you aggregate the income that they received from chattel slavery, you are talking received from chattel slavery, you are talking well in excess of what was proposed. My principal concern with what was proposed. My principal concern with what is happening here in the field of with what is happening here in the field of reparations is that there is no field of reparations is that there is no arbiter of reparations at the moment is no arbiter of reparations at the moment and ive been to parliament and nret moment and ive been to parliament and met with the all Party Parliamentary group on African Reparations chaired by Belle Riviera a Day Reparations chaired by Belle Riviera a day and reparations chaired by Belle Riviera a day and ive called for the establishment of a preparatory Justice Establishment of a preparatory justice council, a Quasi Judicial Body justice council, a Quasi Judicial Body that justice council, a Quasi Judicial Body that could demand dated by the united body that could demand dated by the United Nations to hear cases for reparations. What we have at the moment reparations. What we have at the moment as reparations. What we have at the moment as we have these institutions like the moment as we have these institutions like the church, like the crown, king like the church, like the crown, king charles has now said he will do something. King charles has now said he will do something, and other institutions, who are something, and other institutions, who are making arbitrary donations. Imagine who are making arbitrary donations. Imagine if who are making arbitrary donations. Imagine if you were hit in a road traffic imagine if you were hit in a road Traffic Accident and you were a victim Traffic Accident and you were a victim and Traffic Accident and you were a victim and the person who hits you would victim and the person who hits you would have victim and the person who hits you would have the choice to say whether you have would have the choice to say whether you have a would have the choice to say whether you have a claim, and if so what that you have a claim, and if so what that claim you have a claim, and if so what that claim would be worth. To that oint, that claim would be worth. To that point. When that claim would be worth. To that point. When you that claim would be worth. To that point, when you are that claim would be worth. To that point, when you are talking that claim would be worth. To that point, when you are talking about| point, when you are talking about some sort of oversight of reparations, in your view, some sort of oversight of reparations, in yourview, i know you have looked into this a lot, what should reparations look like . What should the money be used for . I think you should have a principle underlying reparations which is exactly underlying reparations which is exactly the same as you would for something exactly the same as you would for Something Like insurance where anyone Something Like insurance where anyone who has a claim can bring that claim, anyone who has a claim can bring that claim, have it heard, and they would that claim, have it heard, and they would he that claim, have it heard, and they would he an that claim, have it heard, and they would be an Enforcement Mechanism and a would be an Enforcement Mechanism and a mechanism to determine the amount and a mechanism to determine the amount and value of the claim. We do this with amount and value of the claim. We do this with car amount and value of the claim. We do this with car accidents. Why cant we do this with car accidents. Why cant we do this this with car accidents. Why cant we do this with reparations . Because at the we do this with reparations . Because at the moment, Barclays Bank were identified at the moment, Barclays Bank were identified for instance having derived identified for instance having derived a substantial amount of their derived a substantial amount of their wealth from enslavement from their wealth from enslavement from their past their wealth from enslavement from their past portfolio and they said try their past portfolio and they said by way their past portfolio and they said by way of their past portfolio and they said by way of reparations we are going to do by way of reparations we are going to do more by way of reparations we are going to do more in the way of diversity. So they to do more in the way of diversity. So they are to do more in the way of diversity. So they are going to go and get black so they are going to go and get black people to come and work for them black people to come and work for them and black people to come and work for them and that isnt done that is reparations in their eyes. Reparations is more than that. What this report reparations is more than that. What this report has been looking at, it has been this report has been looking at, it has been asking people like myself and others who participated in the questionnaire what should this kind of money questionnaire what should this kind of money be spent on. Things like education. Of money be spent on. Things like education, criminaljustice, dismantling structural racism, equality. Dismantling structural racism, equality, diversity and inclusion, economic equality, diversity and inclusion, economic development. There is a whole economic development. There is a whole range of Different Things and if you whole range of Different Things and if you go whole range of Different Things and if you go to each place that was impacted if you go to each place that was impacted by enslavement you will find a impacted by enslavement you will find a different dynamic. In The Caribbean find a different dynamic. In The Caribbean there is a ten point plan for reparations based upon the needs of the for reparations based upon the needs of The Caribbean. If you talk to people of The Caribbean. If you talk to people like someone at the forefront of African People like someone at the forefront of African Reparations and pan african of African Reparations and pan African Reparations, they are looking African Reparations, they are looking more at the african Point Of View looking more at the african Point Of View and looking more at the african Point Of View. And where black people in the die spirit view. And where black people in the die spirit have different experiences and suffer Different Things.

To understand how got to this be dismantled. To understand how got to this point be dismantled. To understand how got to this point you have to understand the historical backdrop to slavery and colonialism. That is a story that and colonialism. That is a story that has and colonialism.

Thank you in the last few months, there have been growing reports of shoplifting across the uk with many retailers complaining that the police are often either too slow to respond or simply dont show up. Efforts are being made to change that perception and our reporter ben godfrey went to nuneaton to follow a group of officers on patrol. So these are all from blades. I have two now. I dont believe in people stealing, especially from such an honest family business. When it comes to confronting shoplifters, Mitchell Ward bears the scars. Nuneaton toolbox, he says, has been repeatedly targeted by young and old, brazenly filling bags, and by gangs stealing tools for use as weapons. The scale of it is unprecedented. By the time youve fought off one shoplifter, you had another one because there was no response from the police. It was constant. The whole towns experiencing it, its notjust us. We were just brave enough and small enough to be able to put a barrier across the door the big chains cant do that. Warwickshire police categorically refute any suggestion theyre not taking shoplifting seriously, and our camerasjoin them on patrol. Police, can you open the door, please . Pc Tom Shorthouse is a newly appointed Town Centre Beat officer, covering both nuneaton and bedworth. His role is about Building Trust with retailers, arresting shoplifters, and chasing up outstanding warrants. Just in two months ive had roughly about 20 arrests, i a large number of detections, positively detecting crime, i investigating offences. We are dedicating proper resources to this now. I nuneaton Safer Neighbourhoods policing team say their strike rate is high putting twice the usual number of thieves before the courts over the past year. Community orders are also being served, alongsidejail time. What we are seeing now is that Shoplifting Reports are on the rise. So are our detections around that, as well. There are, it seems, some businesses that have lost faith in the police. How are you going to restore that faith . We are here to support business in that respect, and that is giving them confidence to report to us. And if you report to us, i give you my word that my officers will do absolutely everything they can to ensure we get a positive detection not only for them, but also for everyone else. Shoplifting offences are up across the country, but the cause is nuanced not purely driven by an escalating cost of living crisis. Were being told about organised crime gangs carrying out large scale thefts, but also an increase in homelessness, people being plunged into drug and alcohol use, and feeding their addictions. Charities warn of a perfect storm. At the centre, Vulnerable People needing wide ranging support. Its late afternoon, and some local School Pupils are suspected of stealing from a newsagent� s here in nuneaton. Theyre soon found and spoken to, and their school will be informed. Its not a victimless crime we all have to pay for it and hopefully we can get some positive results that way and not needlessly criminalise young people. Children as young as ten are being caught shoplifting. Sharing cctv and Radio Communications is enabling many shops to work closely with the police to identify prolific offenders. Whats it work on . That . So thats the butane, that is. Back at nuneaton toolbox, this is a business behind a barrier. Harsher sentencing. Thats what needs doing. A deterrent of some sort. You can count police on the street with one hand that you see in a week, notjust a day anymore. You dont see police on the street. That was ben godfrey reporting. Campaigners say the closure of a government safety net to funding food banks, warm spaces and providing direct cash for those in needin providing direct cash for those in need in england will be catastrophic. The scheme is due to end in four weeks time unless an extension is announced in the budget. 0ur cost of living correspondent, colletta smith, reports. Everyone knows babies dont come cheap. Hello, rhea. It means money has to stretch a bit further than planned. Hello, jaydeen. But in this house, lifes delivered even more surprises. Hey, giovanni and just manage to get some sleep wherever you can . Yeah. It can be really tough. Yeah. Its still very hard for some of us to get a nap. Oh, the worlds biggest yawn. With 0saretin off work on maternity, three mouths to feed and three babies to hold, life and finances have been a juggle. He has reduced his hours to 20 hours a week. So the moneys really not coming any more. So youve had to cut back your hours at work then, just to just to manage physically with looking after the babies . And it was really it was something hard, but we had to do the sacrifice. But laurens been able to help out by giving a £370 grant. M are you 0k . Its gone straight on nappies, baby formula, and paying the energy bills. For lots of families. That weve supported itsjust meant, you know, feeding their children, heating their homes, you know, just those really important butjust basic things that you really need to raise small children. Laurens team have now given money to 82 families through the governments Household Support Fund, but thats due to end in four weeks time. And youve never needed that help before, youve both worked. . Yeah, weve both worked. We never needed it, but. Right now. Right now, i felt bad for those who cannot afford this, because its one of the things that can help. Mary has a little lamb. Its no surprise if youve never heard of the Household Support Fund. In fact, lots of people whove received money may not even have realised its come from that pot, because its come via the council, maybe through an on the ground agency, before it arrives at their front door, maybe as food or vouchers or energy credit. But in a couple of weeks time, hundreds of thousands of the most vulnerable households will notice when the money runs out. We know this has worked. We know this is a scheme thats helped local authorities reach lots of families that really have no way of feeding and clothing their children. And that cost of living crisis is not over for those families. Thats why barnardos, along with 120 other organisations and 160 local councils across england, are asking the government to change its mind. In every classroom therell be somebody thats drawing down something thats connected to the Household Support Fund. So its reach is massive. Without it, thousands of children would be plunged even deeper into poverty. It will be catastrophic. In liverpool, Tens Of Thousands of households are receiving help through this fund. Here at the Pakistani Association its free hot lunches on the menu to those who need it most. The difference it makes to someones life, and just brightens up someones day they come in and have a conversation. A lot of people rely on this as well. Well drop it off to peoples houses we know cant make it, or, you know, when it was snowing outside, and we know theres people who live alone, for example, and just stopping at the door, have that little brief conversation, and we wont be able to do that. Good boy the government say this fund will end as benefits and the local Housing Allowance rise in april. But those delivering the help are hoping the chancellor changes his mind in the coming days. Colletta smith, bbc news. A spokesperson for the department of work said pensions said £2 billion had been invested in the Household Support Fund over the last two years, with £800 million paid to families. An expansion of government funded childcare in england is set to begin next month but there are concerns about a shortage of staff and money to meet the extra demand at nurseries. One thing the government is trialling, to address the staffing shortages, is a bootcamp to fast track recruits who want to work with young children. Stuart pollitt reports from liverpool where the scheme is being piloted. First thing were going to do is check the airway, going to see if theres anything blocking in the mouth. James has ambitions to run his own nursery one day. Ioli wants to follow her nan into the childcare profession. Rachels autistic and is desperate to help children with additional needs. So, hi, you 0k . The trio are getting to grips with their opening week at britains first early years training boot camp. It feels very lovely that i am. Kind of get to be the grown up that maybe i didnt necessarily have when i was little and, like, in nursery. Its only been three days, but its really mapped out very clearly where i can go with this type of career if i want it. Its not normally a mens profession, its you know, so, yeah, ive been. Im trying to promote that myself. And also the reason for taking so many courses im doing like this is because im trying to build my own business. After the three week bootcamp course, everybody on it is guaranteed at least a Job Interview at a nursery like this one, so they could very quickly be going from classroom to employment. We work with over 1,000 employers across england at realise, and theyre all feeding back the same thing that were already kind of seeing those struggles in terms of attracting and retaining staff. Were already in quite a serious Recruitment Crisis in early years. This is going to attract new people to the sector that have maybe not worked in the sector before, or people whove maybe previously worked in it, whove left. As rachel, james and ioli really continue to work on their quickfire qualifications, the government will be hoping that its just the first step on a long and successful career. Finally before we go, i wanted to show you some amazing pictures out of the united states. Take a look at this, imagine driving like that car is now, it is a tumbleweed swarm that has rolled into neighbourhoods in utah and nevada. Roads and cars were completely covered by thousands of invasive weeds after a strong storm hit the region. Homes south of Salt Lake City like this one also got overtaken by the weeds and they formed piles up to three metres high in some places. The weed is called the russian thistle. It was introduced to the us in the 19th century if you want some history there. It is seen as a symbol of the american west. Thats a lot of symbols for them now its time for a look at the weather with carol kirkwood. Hello again. Some of us got off to a frosty and also a foggy start to the day. Thats now lifting quite nicely and most of us will have a dry day, but there is some rain in the forecast. Weve got a Weather Front draped across the Northern Isles that will bring rain on and off through the day. And also rain which has been coming in from the southwest thats moving northwards and eastwards. But in between we do have the sunshine. At times the rain in Shetland Will Drift Towards 0rkney and we also have the rain which has been coming into the southwest, Pushing Northeastwards With Cloud Building ahead of it. And the wind picking up in the southwest and the english channel. Temperatures, seven to about 11 degrees. Through this evening and overnight this band of rain continues to push northwards and eastwards, fragmenting in doing so. Follow the curl round, you can see the rain coming back into Northern Ireland by the end of the night. And we also have some heavy showers which could be thundery in the channel islands, drifting in the direction of hampshire. These are our overnight lows, but actually as the cloud and Rain Pushes Northwards and eastwards, temperatures will rise by a degree or so. So, into tomorrow, weve got this Weather Front draped across us. We also have High Pressure out towards the east and as the Weather Front bumps into the High Pressure, it really is a fairly weak affair. So, weve got some showers across the far northeast of scotland, a lot of dry weather. And then weve got some Showery Rain Moving Out of Northern Ireland into western scotland, Western Parts of england and wales. The showers that came into hampshire overnight look likely to drift over towards the southeast. They could be heavy and thundery. And these are our temperatures, 6 to 12 degrees, but windy through the North Channel and western scotland. As we head into wednesday, High Pressure is effectively blocking all these fronts coming in from the atlantic. There will be quite a bit of Cloud At Times Across Eastern Scotland and eastern parts of england. Push further west, this is where well see the lions share of the sunshine. But having said that, there will be some showers and a bit more cloud at times across Northern Ireland and also south west england. Temperatures, six to about 13 degrees, and it will be breezy in Northern Ireland and also Western Areas too. Towards the end of the working week therell be a lot of dry weather around. Will be one or two showers at times in the west. But what you find is after chilly starts, these temperatures are roughly where they should be at this stage in march.
