agenda? publicly, very committed. last year boris produced a ten - agenda? publicly, very committed. | last year boris produced a ten point green plan, he described it as a green industrial revolution. a huge increase in wind turbines, switching to electric vehicles, that kind of thing. so the government rhetoric is very strong on the green issue but this budget was very short on headline green initiatives. we saw an infrastructure bank, 12 billion pounds to fund new green developments. a commitment that the bank of england take into account the net zero pledge when it makes policy. but they froze fuel duty, 11 years in a row it has been frozen. in effect, that is an opportunity for a carbon tax foregone. and the effort you mentioned to green our homes. a quarter of carbon emissions come from heating homes. switching from gas heating that most british homes have, with heat pumps, that kind of thing, is going to cost a huge amount of money. the climate change committee says £4 billion per year. they had an initiative for green homes, tiny take up, campaigners have said it is the worst administered green scheme ever. and yet no more money for that, no suggestion it would be reorganised in the budget. campaigners at the public accounts committee saying there is no plan to achieve, no articulated plan anyway, to be fair, to achieve this zero ambition by 2050.— to be fair, to achieve this zero ambition by 2050. steve, is that because the _ ambition by 2050. steve, is that because the government -

raise questions in a serious way about the future of the royal family. the queen is held in universal respect. but other members of the world family have had lots of questions raised about them. has questions raised about them. is steve says, questions raised about them. sis steve says, this is a modernising moment like diana's death. we could see a new, more open monarchy, vomit. but i come back to the point, part of the role of the monarchy is to bland and exist quietly. —— a more open monarchy come from it. pageantry, palaces, at the centre of what they do for britain. i think this kind of conflict cannot be good for them. . ~ this kind of conflict cannot be good for them. . ,, i. . ,., . this kind of conflict cannot be good for them. . ,, i. . . ., for them. thank you all so much for “oininu us for them. thank you all so much for joining us today- — shaun ley is here next week. from me, for now, goodbye. hi, everyone, i hope you're doing all right. it's always nice to talk about high pressure when we're looking at the weather for a weekend, because generally speaking, high pressure equals dry and settled conditions. and that sets us up for a headline that looks a bit like this. it should be mostly dry this weekend. it'll be quite cloudy and it'll be cold as well. it was a chilly morning. we have high pressure perched across the uk at the moment. we have this weather front pushing into western parts of scotland that will introduce thicker cloud and some showers as well, as we head through this afternoon. and you can see them here on the close—up view. i think much of scotland, northern ireland, england and wales, though, should be mostly dry. a few showers across eastern coastal parts. these will tend to fizzle out as we head through the day. the heaviest of those showers across the western and northern isles and cloudier here as well. top temperatures about eight or nine celsius. it was a chilly start to the day today. we saw some mist and fog, and frost as well, a repeat performance in many ways as we cast an eye upon this evening's forecast. we still have this weather front introducing a bit more in the way of those showers across mainland scotland as we move through tonight, meeting colder air, turning to sleet or snow on hills where we could see a light covering in places. you can see the map is awash in blue. so temperatures dipping close to, if not below, freezing pretty much wherever we are. tomorrow should be a mostly dry day. i think tomorrow is one of those days where we start to see some sunshine, especially across england and wales. but then as we progress through the day, we see thicker cloud building. but the north of england, southern parts of scotland, northern ireland seeing some sunshine as well. further north, we're still talking about that weather front generating showers and some rain as well. a bit milderfurther north, we're starting to see milder air trickle in, six to seven celsius. let's look at the pressure chart. so that's the high pressure, highs to the west. we have a weather front moving in. that in turn will introduce something a bit less settled as we look towards monday into northern ireland, western parts of scotland as well. i think our top temperatures gradually starting to rise now, nine or ten celsius. now, the jet stream has woken up. it's been quite quiet really over the past week. you can see it moving in from the west, introducing a plentiful supply of unsettled weather. so this is wednesday. you can see some weather fronts. an area of low pressure moves in and the white lines, the isobars are very close together. that means we're likely to see strong winds. temperatures will rise as well. so we're turning the page over the next few days. a very different feel to proceedings, as you see. this is bbc news — these are the latest headlines in the uk and around the world: pressure grows on the uk government over its pay offer to health service staff in england — more unions have joined the backlash. speaking out for dialogue — pope francis meets one of the most powerfulfigures in shia islam on day two of his historic trip to iraq. concerns over unnecessary self—isolation for school children in england because of inaccurate coronavirus test results. a warning for the un security council that anti—coup demonstrators in myanmar are beginning to lose faith in the organisation. they're usually a sign that spring has sprung —
