Field Road lots of congestion through the tunnels as well not helped by road where it's coming off a junction 7 am picking up the burning and we have got reports of an incident on the I 34 not too far away from the ballot you know it now is junction with Wall stead road and it's looking pretty busy as you travel away from the m 6 looking pretty heavy now in our bridges while the ring was struggling I can see on the traffic fences and some fairly routine delays building around the pantry traffic lights if you can't call maybe 95.6 travel it's a 3301 t 33550. Monday evening with us today. From. Here with the weather but surely it is yes but it's pretty good news actually this week specially if you've been affected by heavy rain from last week this week is going to be mostly dry Yes it is cold but another piece of good news is that it's warming up especially so by the time we get to the weekend where temperatures will be back into double digits so it will feel tropical compared to the sorts of values we've had so far over the past few days so we've got type pressure across us today which is kept things settled and sunny glorious day but it doesn't mean that with the clear skies tonight and comma conditions temperatures are plummeting to minus one minus 2 Celsius minus 3. Celsius in some spots so we're going to get a widespread Frost We're also going to get some dense freezing fog patches in places there is a warning in place until 11 o'clock tomorrow morning running from floor o'clock to morrow morning so that's what we've got to look forward to over the next 12 hours or so it's a dry night obviously dry tomorrow as well but not quite as Sunny we've got some cloud drifting up from the southwest that's going to turn sunshine a little hazy or 3 tomorrow but at least it's dry and then it's really a repeat of that sort of weather through the next few days the nights won't be as frosty for example tomorrow night temperatures are up to plus 2 plus 3 but as I say by the weekend Windsor turning from northerlies to Southwest please especially so on Sunday and that's when we could see temperatures of about 11 a possibly even 12 Ses Yeah temperature in the studio because you got you covered on but it's quite what it is I'm amazed Yes I'm going to draft my desk so that's why I've got it on mittens today 630 b.b.c.

Reporter has been there the very latest is that in the last half an hour or so quite a lot of drama on this side of the building actually a small group of protesters making a run for it they came from the left under this put bread. Making their way through or over some of the barricades that they or their friends have been building in the past few days along this street and in the end over the green barriers there they were pursued by police lots of tear gas but that's the 1st sign we've seen certainly in the last 4 or 5 hours of some of the 500 or so protesters who are holed up inside that university building trying to make a break for it there were several arrests but it looks like most of them appear to have got away for now though the bulk remain inside they've been there all night some attempted to get out. Content apparently to stay inside but I have to say it looks like the police are being more assertive also in the last hour they certainly retaken that bridge over there the one in the distance that's where we were last night one of the main areas of confrontation between police and protesters and now police have moved along there they're moving closer to the university building.

Conference 3 very different office there appears his coming on the day the Lib Dems of the Scottish National Party go to court to try and get themselves included in the 1st t.v. Bite but that's failed as we've heard that t.v. To buy is going to be tomorrow so it will be Boris Johnson going head to head with Jeremy Coleman political correspondent Elise McCarthy. With us to bring us up to date with the day's election news don't switch off Elisia Boris Johnson was 1st up so we have 1st dibs at the c.b.i. Any any surprises from him today. Well it was that Lee atypically bullish Boris Johnson speech he talked about breaks it about needing the election to get on with it his catchphrase of his whole campaign and to clear the blockage of the last Parliament he talked about this being a dynamo Rod election if that's an image that you want to conjure with and there was a little hint to look out for childcare announcement to help working parents in the Conservative manifesto which we are expecting at some point in the next week or so but the biggie from him was this announcement that a Tory government would perspiring cuts to corporation tax now corporation tax is a tax paid by u.k. Based businesses on their profits and it was jus to go down from 19 percent to 17 percent next year but Boris Johnson says if he's re-elected that won't now happen interestingly and the $6000000000.00 pounds that that would save would be used for his domestic priorities like public services and the n.h.s. Ok so then on to the stage came Jeremy Corbin followed later on by Joe Swinson And obviously they've got very different offers if you like to the British people and business So Jeremy Corbyn 1st. Yeah it was interesting this because Jeremy called was on immediately after Boris Johnson so he started off by saying that he hoped I wanted to enjoy his warm up act now Jeremy Corbin's job was to insist that he was an anti business he said it wasn't anti business to be against poverty pay and he insisted that he was going to make any apologies a tool for pledging to bring some key services into public ownership pointing out that in many of the European countries it's perfectly normal for some of these key services to be owned by the state now he outline plans for a climate apprenticeship not the idea here is that you'd have thousands of apprenticeships in the 1st year of a Labor government and that would mean that school leavers or people who wanted to change careers could train to be things like engineers or technicians or construction workers the things that you would need for these new industries to make the economy a bit green a choice 1000 different again she said her party was now the natural party of business and why does she claim that well because their central policy is to reverse or revoke Breck's it and Gerry Swensen says which ever way you cut and dice it as far as she's concerned Bracks it's going to be bad for business she had an announcement to she said the Liberal Democrats would scrap business rights now can't get rid of them altogether because that's a lot of money so she said to replace them with a thing called a commercial land owner Levy now really this is all about a shift in emphasis the idea is you'd move the burden from the tenant shop on the high street to the landlord with the Lib Dems hope would actually breathe a better life into some of our struggling high streets and he said McCarthy happened to go karts monitor who's been listening to all of the major leaders and their speeches at the c.b.i. Conference today and we of course now know the info came through in the last half an hour or so that the Lib Dems and the s. And P's in this court battle trying get included in the 1st t.v.
