directly on, i felt very heated at times, and slightly ill tempered. i think it's fair to say the cost of living pressures on families dominated a large part of that hour—long discussion, which took place in what's known as bute hall in the university behind me. the issue dominating the discourse, it was how little it played into the discussions. it was the family pressures facing questions by politicians and parties. the leader of the snp took this as an opportunity to reiterate his message he spoke for many times — as he sees it, both the conservatives and labour are going to bring forward £18 billion of cuts. he says it doesn't matter who is in downing street, that is what people in the uk will face coming online. scottish labour anas awar said there would be no austerity. he pledged to bring in a windfall tax. on oil and gas profits. it was interesting that alex cole—hamilton pointed out that scotland has two parties, the conservatives at westminster and the snp across in edinburgh. he said both parties had been in powerfor too long. she was talking about the cost of living crisis and said that the super wealthy have been making out like bandits since covid. douglas ross had an interesting role to play. he's the leader of the scottish conservatives, but not much longer. he was asked how he was the first leader to resign part way through, he'll be in place until the end of the campaign. he said it was an opportunity to spend more time with his family and was looking forward to that was the and to focus on the issues that were really affecting them.— and to

leaders for the blaming the conservatives for the cost of living crisis and going back to liz truss's disastrous premiership. he had quite a tough night, i think. snp leader john swinney came in for a lot of criticism as well, even though this is a reserved election. it's inevitable that his handling of the public services would come into some scrutiny. it would be fair to say members of the audience were not happy with the state of schools and hospitals. he was heavily criticised over that as well. i don't think, though, if you look at the debate in the totality, i don't think it was a great leap forward to anybody. anas sarwar will be happy, but i think it's going to change the huge number of votes. i don't think it will determine how the —— i think it will determine how the —— i

westminster election. yes, in the last decade or so, the snp has dominated scottish politics. pretty much won every election extremely can truly by prioritising independence —— extremely comfortably. around 90% support independence. by appealing to them, it's always worked extremely well for them. it's always worked extremely well forthem. i it's always worked extremely well for them. i think the change over the last couple of years is that the snp always wanted a second referendum, but the supreme court decided that the scottish parliament couldn't introduce a bill on its own. that pretty

just walking towards president biden's helicopter, which landed to wilmington from washington, dc. i think that's the most we're going to see, but of course, some of the first pictures we've seen of hunter biden since he was found guilty on all three counts in his federal gun crimes case. we saw him there walking towards the helicopter to greet his dad, the president, of course. now, it was a 12 personjury which found hunter biden had lied about his drug use on the form when purchasing a handgun in 2018. earlier, we saw president biden address a gun violence advocacy conference in washington, dc. we also did get a statement from the president. but now, it looks like, although we can't see it on the other side of the helicopter — unhelpfully for us — it looks like hunter biden, who we did see early on, has now met with his father. we're just going to hang on, has now met with his father. we'rejust going to hang on in case they walk towards that car. and hunter biden will be sentence shortly. when that sentencing happens, we don't have a date to my understanding, he could face a possible prison term to up to 25 years, although many experts say that length of sentence is unlikely. he is a first—time offender. i think we're going to move on from those shots there. but if we do see any more of presidentjoe biden with his son hunter, will not go back to it. around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news. let's ta ke let's take you back to the life seen in wilmington, delaware. that is in the centre of the frame, hunter biden. the first images we've seen since he was found guilty on all three counts in his federal gun crimes case in delaware, and we understand that he met with his father, presidentjoe biden, who had landed into delaware from washington, dc and that helicopter. there you can see him with his family going back into the cars, and of course, it follows the decision by the jury that he was guilty on those three counts. they said he lied about his drug use on a form when purchasing a handgun in 2018. let's move on, but there you have it — hunter biden hasjust met with his father, presidentjoe biden. let's return to the general election here. all the main parties in the uk elections talk up their game when it comes to climate change, but who in practice is the greenest of them all? it's a question the bbc�*s climate editior has been exploring in an in—depth article on the bbc news website — you can see a grab of it here. as justin writes... so, how do the parties differ? well, here'sjustin with more. so, the tories are trying to walk a kind of tightrope on climate change. they say that they want to meet their 2050 net zero target, but rishi sunak is saying he also doesn't want any of what he calls "u nafforda ble eco—zealotry". there's a bit of a dilemma there because the climate change committee which is the uk's independent watchdog on climate says the country is not on target to meet its 2030 goals — that is, cutting emissions by 68% on 1990 levels. how is it going to do that? well, he says that there will be no new charges for people, he says any big bits of legislation will have to go, any big changes to climate policy will have to go through parliament. there will be local referendums on things like onshore wind farms and low traffic neighbourhoods, but they also say they want a big acceleration of offshore wind, they want to treble it, they want a big roll—out of new nuclear power so a big power but they also say they want a big acceleration of offshore wind, they want to treble it, they want a big roll—out of new nuclear power — so a big power station in north wales and also new modular nuclear power stations, these new kind of smaller nuclear power stations. so, the labourframing of the whole climate issue is much more optimistic. they talk about it as an opportunity, a kind of centrepiece of their industrial policy, a way to deliver energy security, save us from the whims of capricious dictators like vladimir putin and at the same time create jobs, level up, address issues the actual policies you find there's a huge overlap that actually many of the policies, notjust labour and the tories, are all actually quite similar. the big outlier here is the reform party. reform is saying they don't believe in the net zero agenda at all, they want to scrap it and they say there will be no subsidies for renewable power at all. justin rowlatt. i'm going to start with you, joe. we've seen in the last 6—8 months labour and the conservatives change their position, some of their apologies on climate —— some of their policies. some of it has been framed through public purse. what do the opinion polls say about how important climate change is to core voters and how much do you think this could be a key election issue? i you think this could be a key election issue?— you think this could be a key election issue? i would tell you it's very much _ election issue? i would tell you it's very much a _ election issue? i would tell you it's very much a third _ election issue? i would tell you it's very much a third tier- election issue? i would tell you | it's very much a third tier issue. it's in the same group as is education, crime and immigration, whereas immigrations and tends to be on top, but climate and immigration is —— climate is more in the middle. it's important for people and the country and respondents, but it's not up there with the nhs and cost of living, which are ahead by some distance. when it comes to the principal of net zero by 20 2050, this is something deltapoll has been tracking since 2019. the figures remained relatively unchanged. six out of ten support and continued to to support net zero by 2050. opposition has crept above 10% recently, so it's only recently that more than one in ten people have actually opposed the idea. but where the divisions arise is over how that is achieved, the speed at which it is achieved, the speed at which it is and who has to pay for that. i think it's that that the parties are trying to jostle over. but like so many issues, it is one where the conservatives really struggle against labour and other parties. i imagine that with so many things, it will be the overall impression of people how to determine the attitude to climate. ~ �* ., , ., ., ., to climate. we've only

the bbc sport centre. i marc edwards. helped light up portugal's euro 2024 farewell party with a couple we're going to start with football and the ageless cristiano ronaldo helped light up portugal's euro 2024 farewell party with a couple of fabulous goals to help the hosts swat the republic of ireland aside 3—0. joao felix opened the scoring in the first half before ronaldo�*s struck the sweetest of left footed shots to double portugal's lead. his second was less spectacular but same result, and it capped a pretty comfortable tune—up for roberto martinez�*s side. ——iam —— i am marc edwards. portugal head onto germany, where they will face czech republic, turkey and georgia in group f. england's players have been training in germany for the first time ahead of the opening euro 2024 tie with serbia on sunday. harry kane's team arrived in the small town of blankenhain in central germany on monday at a resort used by the german national team in the build—up to tournament. worth noting that two of the players with knocks who did take part in training were luke shaw and bukayo saka. steve clarke says scotland's ambition is to go into theirfinal euro 2024 group game with a chance of progressing to the next round. the scots open the tournament against hosts germany in munich on friday. that's before switzerland on the 19th ofjune and hungary on the 23rd. scotland have never gone beyond the opening group stage at a major tournament and picked up just one point from three matches at the delayed euro 2020. the bottom line is we need four points to come out of the group, that guarantees to come out of the group, almost forever, of the group, almost forever. that always happen, so four points gets us out of the group. three points and 80 goal difference probably get you out of the group, so that's what we have to look at every game to look at every game in isolation, make sure we're competitive in every game. realistically, we go into the last game with a chance to qualify. hopefully, we'll have done it before with the points tally in the first two games. two comebacks from two of the big names in british tennis to bring you now — but it didn't go to plan for andy murray today at the stuttgart open. but betterfortunes for emma raducanu in nottingham — as she put a minor wobble to one side to make it through. alex fletcher was watching. emma raducanu is

their slim slim hopes of qualifying for the t20 world cup super 8s alive and they delivered with a comfortable seven—wicket win over canada in new york. pakistan's first win of the competition. aaronjohnson hit four sixes — the joint most by any player in an innings at this ground — as he made an eye—catching 52 off 44 balls to help canada reach 106—7, but muhammad rizwan and babar azam's steady partnership meant pakistan were never really in danger of losing this one. and it was usman khan who secured the final runs, and a vital win, they still need to beat ireland in florida on sunday and hope results and run rates go their way elsewhere. and that's your sport for now. from me, marc edwards, and the rest of the team, we'll see you soon. bye—bye. hello there, good evening. well, it's been another day of sunny spells with some showers. blustery, chilly northwesterly winds blowing towards north sea—facing coasts once again. the air is cold for the time of year certainly, but it still feels pleasantly warm — the best of the sunshine, the sun just as strong as it is everyjune. and there'll be more in the way of sunshine probably tomorrow — the driest—looking day of the week. not completely dry, still a few showers around, and certainly a chilly start to the day. now, we've got high pressure building in from the west, killing off a lot of those showers, and the winds will be a lot lighter — and they're falling lighter overnight tonight. now, it's likely to be just as cold tonight as it was last night, when some of our temperatures drop back to low single figures. there will be some clear spells developing, a lot of dry weather around. and widely, we'll see 5—9 celsius — but as i said, in some of the rural sheltered spots, temperatures will be a lot lower than this. so, it's a cold start to wednesday morning, but once again, quite a bit of early sunshine around. variable amounts of cloud, and the cloud will tend to build through the day. most of the showers will be across eastern areas of england, further north and west, then it should be largely dry, perhaps 1—2 very isolated showers. lighter winds, but temperatures still disappointingly low for the time of year, just 12—17 celsius. now, as we look into thursday, we start to see a few changes. so, it's already a wet start to the day across northern ireland — this rain will be pushing eastwards across wales, pushing through into central areas of england, eventually reaching northern scotland and possibly but not until we get to the end of the afternoon. brisk winds up through irish sea coasts, but it's milder, particularly out towards the north and the west there, with temperatures rising back up into the mid—teens in celsius. low pressure remains very much in charge, too, as we head through friday and the weekend. so, there'll be showers, there'll be longer spells of rain around at times, and brisk south—westerly winds blowing. but the air will be milder — it will be especially milder by night as well, with temperatures rising by day, back up to the seasonal average. won't be raining all the time, there'll also be some sunny spells around, and it will feel pleasantly warm in the best of the sunshine, of course, but some unsettled, milder weather as we head through the second half of this week. bye—bye for now. tonight at ten — rishi sunak puts tax cuts at the centre of the conservative election manifesto — will it be enough to turn things around? he pledged another cut in national insurance, the eventual scrapping of the tax for the self—employed — and help for first time buyers. he also made this admission... i'm not blind to the fact that people are frustrated with our party and frustrated with me. things have not always been easy and we have not got everything right. but we are the only party in this election with the big idea is to make our country a better place to live. we'll be looking at the political challenges with chris mason — and at whether the figures add up with faisal islam. also tonight: president biden�*s son hunter is found guilty by a court in the us
