Tomorrow is similar, some spells of sunshine, one or two showers. Light winds for many, not much of a feature, particular to more closely at the east coast, the wind is coming in off the very cold waters of the no theme which will really suppress the temperatures, talent and cities text back to around eight or 9 degrees the very cold waters of the north east. The highest temperatures will be the highest temperature further west, 11, 12, 13, maybe 1a.

The Labour Party Want a full parliament run inquiry into David Camerons attempts to lobby ministers on behalf of finance firm Greensill Capital. They will force a vote in parliament on the issue tomorrow. They say it needs to uncover what communications were made by the former pm David Cameron to current ministers and why the financier Lex Greensill and his company were given such huge access to the heart of government. Labour had asked for mr sunak to appear before mps to respond to an urgent question on the issue, but Business Minister paul scully was sent to reply for the government. A few moments ago in the commons, The Shadow Chancellor accused rishi sunak of Running Scared. Hundreds of millions of pounds of public money were put at risk by giving green sell access to this scheme.

What we are l ask me that, victoria. What we are seeing in the House Of Commons today is an attempt by labour to put the government under pressure on what it saysis government under pressure on what it says is a big issue that needs addressing, that of lobbying, the attempts by people, businesses, trade unions and others to gain access to Government Ministers and influence their thinking. Of course, influence their thinking. Of course, in response to end the wake of the reports we have seen, largely in the sunday times and Financial Times in recent weeks, focusing on David Camerons actions as an employee of Greensill Capital, run by Lex Green Fail lex green seal, who was an unpaid adviser to David Cameron when he was Prime Minister. In response to that we are seeing some very specific, very technical responses and explanations from Government Ministers, including paul scully the Business Minister, relating to Greensill Capital and its involvement in government Financial Support schemes during the pandemic. In that, they are explaining what has happened is defending the actions of Government Ministers as entirely in accordance with and appropriate to the rules and codes of conduct that are in place. Both the chancellor, rishi sunak, who has come forward with a text message exchanges he has had to David Cameron about green sale, and also matt hancock confirmed to mps that he attended a social occasion with Lex Greenville and David Cameron, we already knew about that but it is the first time we have heard from him. He declared to departmental officials in the usual way. So far the government is resisting calls from labour to take a broader look at lobbying in general, aside from theissue at lobbying in general, aside from the issue of green sale capital and the issue of green sale capital and the access it has had to government. I dont think we will see any letup from labour in its attempts to get the government to grasp this issue more firmly Greensill Capital. The review announced yesterday by Downing Street. This morning the Prime Minister was saying specifically it was a review into supply Chain Finance. Is it also a review into lobbying or not . It is review into lobbying or not . It is interesting. Review into lobbying or not . It is interesting, the review into lobbying or not . It 3 interesting, the scope of this review is something which is now a real issue here at westminster because the Prime Minister did this morning say that that review would have Carte Blanche to look into the issue of supply Chain Finance and how far it is present in governments. That really is the scope of this review. And it was announced yesterday Downing Street did say it would have a particular focus on Greensill Capital and its provision of supply Chain Finance, this method of supplying credit to companies to allow them to pay their bills more quickly than they normally would do, but it is not clear how far it will look into David Camerons efforts to lobby on behalf of Greensill Capital in government, and if at all it will take a view on lobbying and the rules and whether they need to change on that at westminster more generally. It doesnt seem that the scope of the review is set up to do that, so that is another reason why i dont think we will see any letup in the pressure from labour and others to shine a light on the practice of lobbying and temp two reform it and change it. We should exlain as reform it and change it. We should expiain as far reform it and change it. We should explain as far as reform it and change it. We should explain as far as we reform it and change it. We should explain as far as we can reform it and change it. We should explain as far as we can work reform it and change it. We should. Explain as far as we can work supply Chain Finance is. My understanding is that Greensill Capital were effectively offering to act as an intermediary between the government and the taxpayer backed loans that they were offering and small and medium sized businesses, arguing they could do a much more quickly than banks could. Than banks could. Yes, there are a few different than banks could. Yes, there are a few different aspect than banks could. Yes, there are a few different aspect of than banks could. Yes, there are a few different aspect of this, than banks could. Yes, there are a few different aspect of this, but i few different aspect of this, but you are right one area where Greensill Capital was involved was the so called Large Business interruption loan scheme, which the government put in place during the pandemic, where companies, Greensill Capital and others, were accredited to lend money to businesses struggling, and those loans would be backed by the British Business bank, which is owned by the government, so effectively government backed finance schemes, which Greensill Capital was involved in. Enter separate issue of supply Chain Finance, where Greensill Capital offered services to Pay Companies or getting to companies which would fill gaps in their supply chain, so a long to pay bills and receive money for goods sold more quickly than they normally would do, and that money would then be repaid. That is how we have heard about a specific app which Greensill Capital developed and was pitched to the National Health service as a way to allow employees to be paid more quickly than they normally would be. So a few things supply, but all based on the notion of Greensill Capital at various points in various ways, some of which was done on behalf of the government. Behalf of the government. Labour want to force behalf of the government. Labour want to force this behalf of the government. Labour want to force this vote behalf of the government. Labour want to force this vote tomorrowl behalf of the government. Labour. Want to force this vote tomorrow in parliament on having a parliament run enquiry into this issue, rather than this lawyer that borisjohnson has appointed. They will know when that vote, but they think it is important presumably symbolically to habits. ,. ,. ,. , habits. Yes, that goes back to their issue with the habits. Yes, that goes back to their issue with the scope habits. Yes, that goes back to their issue with the scope of habits. Yes, that goes back to their issue with the scope of this habits. Yes, that goes back to their issue with the scope of this reviewl issue with the scope of this review that the government has announced. They dont think it is anything like broad enough. They have likened it to a conservative cover up. Tomorrow labour will use time allocated to them in parliament in an opposition day debate to air this issue once again and to debated in parliament, and also to have a vote on creating and also to have a vote on creating a new Parliamentary Select Committee which will be specifically set up with a panel of mps to look into the issue of lobbying more broadly, as well as the influence and access that Greensill Capital and David Cameron had to Government Ministers, but that vote is highly unlikely to passin but that vote is highly unlikely to pass in parliament tomorrow, but it will be a way for labour to temp two keep this issue running, to attempt or perhaps say that the government had an opportunity to set up a broader enquiry and a more widespread look at lobbying in general that they didnt take up. Back to the news that scotlands first minister, nicola sturgeon, has confirmed that people will be allowed to travel anywhere in the country for outdoor socialising, recreation or exercise from friday. Ms sturgeon said the easing of the restrictions had been brought forward for the sake of peoples mental health. Limits on how many could meet outdoors will increase to six adults from six households. Lets hear some reaction from the other parties across scotland. Well, i think the Hospitality Industry have obviously been anxious over the last few days, but there will be thousands of people across the country who are economically and on a human level have really been hit by the pandemic, so i think what we need now is a National Recovery plan to make sure that we dont see a huge loss ofjobs, so i think it is good that the virus has gone down, we are beginning to ease up a bit, but for me the issue of economic support to businesses and to people to get them back on track, that has got to be our next focus. Well, it is good news. People will be pleased that they can now start to travel be pleased that they can now start to travel out with the local Authority Area and propriety start to meet Authority Area and propriety start to meet up with groups of six from six different households. This is possible six different households. This is possible because of the positive public possible because of the positive Public Health data.

French lawmakers have voted to ban many short haul domestic flights in a bid to reduce Carbon Emissions. The legislation will end routes where the same journey could be made by train in less than two and a half hours. The planned measures will face a further vote in the senate before becoming law. The bbc� s tim allman reports. Thanks to the pandemic, fewer people are taking to the skies, but the french government wants to see a reduction even when things get back to normal. It says it is committed to reducing Carbon Emissions and the Airline Industry is a big producer of co2, hence the vote to ban a number of domestic flights, although connecting flights will not be directly affected. Either way, some lawmakers remain to be convinced. Translation i think this message is not the right one. The environmental choice must take precedence, but lets not abandon the social and economic choices around industry and around airports. The two are complementary. The law still has to be approved by the senate, but assuming it comes into effect, it will prohibit all flights that could be made by train in less than two and a half hours. That would bring to an end services between paris and cities like nantes, lyon and bordeaux. But, after some objections from airlines and regional officials, longerflights from the capital to places like toulouse, marseille and nice will still be allowed. Translation according | to greenpeace, this change would spare the most polluting air connections. With more than 3 million passengers in 2019, the flights between paris and nice generates the equivalent of 225,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide. France, of course, has a renowned train network. Getting around here is usually pretty painless. It may not be the same for other countries who might be considering a similar scheme. But ministers insist big steps have to be taken if we are serious about climate change. Tim allman, bbc news. Theres been a shooting at a high school in knoxville in tennessee. Police say one person was killed and an officer was wounded when police confronted the suspect, who repeatedly fired at them. The gunman was later identified as a student at the school. The bafta winning Netflix Documentary � my octopus teacher� tells story of a filmmaker who befriends an octopus. It was filmed off the coast of cape town in one of the worlds richest ecosystems. Now the makers of the documentary are part of a campaign to preserve the underwater forest. Our africa correspondent Andrew Harding went under water to bring us this report. The sea life here is spectacular. But try for a moment to look past the exotic creatures crowding the cold waters near cape town and focus instead on the seaweed the endless Underwater Forests of kelp. I think we should check out the cave and have a look if the sharks are there. Ive come here with a group of activists who want to draw the worlds attention to this extraordinary, but little known ecosystem. Theyre calling it the great african sea forest. We hear so much talk about coral and about the Great Barrier reef, but there are these giant Underwater Forests, and they are so important, just as important when it comes to climate and climate change. Theres a big value in these kelp forest ecosystems. They protect from storm surges because they break the waves, they prevent coastal erosion, they sequester a lot of carbon which is mitigating Global Climate change. And then itjust happens. I put my hand out a tiny bit. It was here that these divers filmed a documentary my octopus teacher. It became a global hit. But the kelp is the bigger story, covering a quarter of the worlds coastlines. For now, the kelp in south africa is so plentiful that it can be harvested sustainably, for all sorts of human uses, from fertiliser to face cream. The mineral rich fronds can grow half a metre a day. But these forests, acutely vulnerable to rising sea temperatures, are struggling elsewhere, hence the push to raise public awareness. We thought we have to give it an identity, and the reason for that was because if we want to do any kind of long term conservation of this ecosystem, we need to make people aware of it first. When you think wild, you think serengeti, mara, you know, Great Barrier reef. So we want that kind of romanticism and imagination attached to the kelp forest. The hope is that by naming this the great african sea forest, people will pay more attention to this extraordinary ecosystem, that theyll guard it and help it to keep playing its unique role in protecting our planet. A fun fact about them is that they can actually get up to 12 13 metres long. As part of that process, local children are now being introduced to the kelp, to learn its secrets and to meet the creatures that use these coastal forests as their underwater nursery. Andrew harding, bbc news, in south africas western cape. Now its time for a look at the weather with ben. If you are a gardener or a grower, you might well be looking for some rain by now. Not a lot of that in the forecast. It stays cool by day and with the continued risk of frost at night. The main rain bearing Weather Systems are staying well away from our shores, fended off by this area of High Pressure. This will be with us for a few days yet. Often under High Pressure we can expect completely dry weather, but that is not the case at the moment. There are a few showers popping up, especially across western and southern parts of the uk. Those showers, where they do turn up, will be slow moving. Many spots staying dry, temperatures between eight and 12 degrees. Through this evening and overnight most of those showers will fade, but there will be areas of patchy cloud left behind with patches of mist and fog developing as well. A widespread ground frost, perhaps not quite as cool for most of us as it was last night, but of North East Scotland to get to 6. Into tomorrow, a similar sort of day with sunny spells, once any early mistiness has cleared. Just one or two showers popping up. The wind is not much of a teacher for most of us, but look at these north sea coasts and look at where the wind is coming from. It is coming end off the chilly waters of the sea, so temperatures in these towns and cities on the east coast will be quite suppressed, 7 9 de, with a fair breeze blowing quite suppressed, 7 9 degrees, with a fair breeze blowing in east anglia and the south east, as well. Further west with a bit more shelter is where we will have a higher temperatures up to 13 degrees. Heading into thursday, there could be frost again with High Pressure still firmly in charge. This High Pressure system is bringing in cold air off the north sea. We could see showers creeping in from the east affecting parts of east anglia and the south east, otherwise largely dry with spells of sunshine. Once again, the highest temperatures will be out west, possibly up to 15 degrees for some parts of Northern Ireland and Western Scotland, chillier for the eastern coasts. For the end of the week most places will stay dry, a bit of rain in the far north west at times, and temperatures climbing a little bit. Hello, this is bbc news. Im victoria derbyshire, good afternoon. Here are the headlines. The Vaccination Programme in england moves to a new phase if youre over 45 you can now book a covid jab.
