Dozens of Company Bosses and Business Groups in england have signed a Letter UrgingPrime Minister rishi sunak, to re commit to the high speed railway. Costs around hs2 have increased significantly and are now well above its original budget of £33 billion, which was set a decade ago when work on the line began. Joining us now is mark reynolds, chairman and ceo of mace group, Global Consultancy ad contruction company. Thank you forjoining us.

Its notjust the construction sector, it actually all of the industries and we have seen that freddie announcement this week three net zero carbon. We are making big investments, whether its in big capital projects, other supporting projects or its in the Development Projects or its in the Development Projects of schools, homes or other investments. All of these have been affected. We also cant appeal employ people. It is affecting us taking on apprenticeships and training people and it is stopping us innovating.

It is a very different tgv, then we are proposing to hs2. We could build our stations, which arejust proposing to hs2. We could build our stations, which are just simple canopies, with facilities for congregating and boarding trains, have an open air platform and transfer our people on grade through the countryside. Or we can build fantastic monuments which will cost billions of pounds more, go through tunnels underneath real areas and its all about choice. And we choose as a nation to actually spend the money on creating these fantastic facilities. We could, if you really want to do, decide to do much simple, much more efficient and much more quickly, which will be more greener and help us get to net zero carbon much quicker then 2050. Its about choice, and if the public vote that choice, our industry, the Construction Industry is brilliant, its fast moving and its adapting. We can come up with Solutions Much quicker if we choose to do that. Mark reynolds, chairman and ceo of mace group, advocating for the Construction Industry when it comes to hsz. Russias foreign minister Sergey Lavrov have been speaking in the uns General Assembly in new york. With me is the bbc� s europe regional editor, danny aeberhard.

Basically, he called for a form of global called for a form of global governance. This has been a wider discussion then russia has been voluble about. It is similar to the statements that were made at the times of the brick summit in johannesburg recently. Thats brazil, russia, india and south africa, china. That was one of his main themes. He basically lacerated what he called the neocolonial west, led of course by the united states, similar things we have had for a number of years. He said humanity was at a crossroads on this point and that, he said that the west has constituted an Empire Of Lies that he painted as having betrayed russia on a number of occasions, not least for example on the expansion of nato to the east. ,. , , for example on the expansion of nato to the east. ,. , , for example on the expansion of nato totheeast. ,. , , to the east.

Russia sees itself as something of an advocate to the east. Russia sees itself as something of an advocate for to the east. Russia sees itself as.

He has talked about new members, permanent and nonpermanent members, permanent and nonpermanent members of the Security Council and this is part of, basically, russia is trying to frame its struggle as part of a wider problem. It tries to betray ukraine as being a puppet of the west. Now, obviously, ukraine would very much disagree with this. They say they are making their own decision about their own country does � s feature and theyre not being allowed to buy russia, who they see as an imperial power, trying to reassert its own empire. A very strikingly different take on the world there. Russia and Sergey Lavrov in particular didnt particularly talk about the aggression of russia and ukraine. He made a few references, for example he said that the government in kyiv, the regime as he called it, was racist, but he was basically trying to frame russias position in the west rather as a crusading power on the half of the developing world to try to create a multipolar world order, as he put it. He talked about as expansion of nato into the pacific sphere with alliances such as australia and other links with south korea and japan. Overall, he was saying, his basic message was dont trust the west, theyve lied to us, they will lie to you. To a certain extent, russia has in purchase with some of these arguments. There are some things, for example in libya and kosovo which russia talks about. For example, he said that libya was destroyed by natos campaign in libya and he also tries to talk about russias problems with illegal sanctions and he frames that in a wider context. To remove sanctions that stifle the economy in venezuela and cuba was another country mansion, and syria. So harking back on a well worn theme of russia, but as i say, one that the west need to Pay Attention to. We as i say, one that the west need to Pay Attention to Pay Attention to. We can see mr lavrovs is Pay Attention to. We can see mr lavrovs is holding Pay Attention to. We can see mr lavrovs is holding a Pay Attention to. We can see mr lavrovs is holding a press lavrovs is holding a Press Conference. Im not sure if we can take a listen to what he is saying. I do want to ask as well, he didnt talk about the obvious, the un Security Council, the global architecture and ukraine. He touched and other hot particular topics as well, like israel and palestine . He mention well, like Israeland Palestine . He mention the fact that palestinians have been waiting for their own state, effectively, and he said that basically direct negotiation need to restart between israel and the palestinians. So its a case that clearly negotiations have stalled completely in that area of the world. So there will be people who listen to russia on that point and say, what is happening . This is a theme he talks about repeatedly, bolstering, for example, organisations like the African Union and other organisations such as the 620, and other organisations such as the g20, trying, he says, to get consensus on world issues, reforming the imf, the world bank, that sort of thing. So its not about the sewage council, its about a more Wider Global Architecture that he has referring to. Has referring to. Notably, no comment has referring to. Notably, no comment on has referring to. Notably, no comment on the has referring to. Notably, no comment on the attack has referring to. Notably, no comment on the attack of. Has referring to. Notably, no | comment on the attack of the has referring to. Notably, no comment on the attack of the Black Sea Fleet headquarters on friday. He said nothing on that, which is interesting in its own right. Its probably because of the type of forum he is addressing, the un General Assembly, forum he is addressing, the un generalassembly, is forum he is addressing, the un General Assembly, is perhaps not the sort of farm to progress retaliation that attack. Im sure at some stage we will get reallocation to that. Thank you very much. The bbc has learned that the government has disbanded a task force that was set up to improve Energy Efficiency in homes. Ministers wrote to the group yesterday saying its work would be streamlined into ongoing government activity. On thursday, rishi sunak announced he was scrapping Energy Efficiency regulations for landlords, as part of an overhaul of green policies. With more on this, our Political Correspondent iain watson. Tell us more about what was learned . Whats interesting about this is that bbc saw a letter basically dissolving this task force, just after rishi sunak delayed or scrapped some of his other climate policies. What was interesting as well was that this seems to be quite when the tussles were set up. That meeting was accompanied by quite a fanfare by the government. They said they had assembled a stellar team of they had assembled a stellar team of the greatest and best experts and their role would be to get energy use down by 15 by the end of this decade compared to 2021 levels. What the government are saying now is that a lot of task forces has gone, their ambition to reduce are still there. As you can imagine, there has been quite negative reaction from the governments destructors, including the labour party. Ed miliband said that this is something that in effect could cost families money, and less energy and efficiency measures were carried out. As you mentioned, there are critical of lifting responsibilities from landlords to improve Energy Efficiency in their properties as well. Critics certainly see the two things being linked but the government, as i say, is insisting that nonetheless, task force or more no task was, they will still try to get energy usage down by the end of this decade, which in turn will cut peoples bills. The this decade, which in turn will cut peoples bills this decade, which in turn will cut peoples bills. The people watching at home concerned peoples bills. The people watching at home concerned about peoples bills. The people watching at home concerned about rising at home concerned about Rising Energy bills and rising Cost Of Living, hearing that this task force has effectively disappeared, what does this mean in practice . The government does this mean in practice . The government will does this mean in practice . Tye government will say does this mean in practice . Tte government will say that does this mean in practice . Tt2 government will say that they are going ahead with the same policies but doing it in a different way. There are other reasons behind the task force going. Here is one possibility. The task force was co shared by the former Chief Executive of natwest bank, she had to stand down from the bank over controversy about how she handled the bank account of nigel faraj, none other than the leading Brexit Campaigner and none other than the leading Brexit Campaignerand so none other than the leading Brexit Campaigner and so there were some controversy there, you may be a bit awkward to see the government see someone like that leading the task force. I think perhaps, the bigger issueis force. I think perhaps, the bigger issue is this. Rishi sunak and his announcements this week, had been stressing personal responsibility, rather than government, for example some families, some other ideas have been kicking around from Climate Change committee and others about perhaps changing our diet, less meat, left derry, to try to the environment or indeed car sharing schemes. Rishi sunak absolutely ruled all of those out. But it is one of his message, which is effectively for people to try to take responsibility themselves, rather than perhaps having task force deciding whether to impose on businesses and households, which seems to go against the grain from where rishi sunak is positioning himself on this issue ahead of the next General Election. The comedian and actor Russell Brand has made his first Public Statement since Sexual Assault allegations were made against him. In a video posted on his youtube channel, he did not directly address the claims but thanked his supporters for questioning the media reports. He also criticised the government and technology companies. Hes previously said all his relationships had been consensual.

Rare for the pipe to intervene in political discussions but he said europe had a duty of humanity to care those leaving north africa, in particular, and making their way to europe. He said people risking their lives at sea were not in the aiders and instead should be welcomed. He said migration was a reality of our times and that it should be dealt wisely. He called the mediterranean and enormous unmarked cemetery for migrants. We can see the pope there on his way out of marseille, shaking hands as he heads towards his plane. That is it from me. Do stay with us here on bbc news. Hello. In many parts of the uk, Cloud Amounts have been increasing during today, Signalling A Change for the rest of the weekend. Some warmer but wetter and windier weather on the way. Its all thanks to a Weather System that contains the remnants of what was hurricane nigel. Certainly not a hurricane any more but providing an injection of tropical moisture into this area of low pressure. Some very heavy rain across some Western Areas as we head through tonight. Further pulses of rain returning to the South West Of England and wales later on, quite windy for a time, particularly around western coasts and much, much milder than it was last night. By the end of the night, we will be between 10 and 16 degrees. Sunday morning starting on a mild note but with low pressure firmly in charge, a couple of different Frontal Systems which will provide some outbreaks of very heavy rain. This rain tending to affect western and northern parts of the country, so western england, wales, Northern Ireland, Western Scotland seeing some outbreaks of rain. Further south and east, more in the way of dry weather, some spells of sunshine and actually with the southerly winds it is going to feel pretty warm in the south east corner. Large swathes actually of england and wales up to 20 or 21 degrees, even further north could see 18, i9, 20 across some northern parts of scotland. As we head through sunday evening, this band of very heavy, squally rain pushing across South West England and wales. Northern ireland very wet for a time and that rain really setting in across scotland, perhaps enough rain for some flooding and disruption. Gusts of wind of 50 or 60 mph. Through sunday night into monday, that Frontal System sweeps away eastwards but low pressure will still be firmly in charge of our weather, so for monday, yes, there will be spells of sunshine, i think parts of england and wales will stay dry but Northern Ireland and scotland seeing some pretty hefty showers, it stays quite windy. Temperatures of 15 to 22 degrees, so broadly speaking above the norm for the time of year. Then as we head towards the middle part of the week we will have to keep a close eye on this one. A developing area of low pressure. Huge uncertainty aboutjust how deep this low might become, exactly where it will move across the uk, but the chance for some very heavy rain and possibly some very strong winds around the middle part of the week. Broadly speaking, a very unsettled week ahead. Live from london. This is bbc news.
