Under the new plan for england, families likejune� s will be able to hang on to more of their money before they start paying for care. For people like mum, its too late, shes given everything shes got, so what happens to the people who are in the system who have gone well beyond that cap now . We will look at who is going to be paying what under these new tax plans. Also tonight. So much for change the taliban Fire Warning shots to disperse protesters in the afghan capital, as a new government is announced. Scotlands First Minister outlines her Governments Programme shes determined to pave the way for a new Independence Referendum. The Rise And Rise of Emma Raducanu.

And coming up on the Bbc News channel, its a match that scotland cant afford to lose, according to their captain callum mcgregor. They face austria later as they look to stay in the hunt for World Cup qualification. Good Evening And Welcome to the Bbc News at six. It is rare for a Prime Minister to admit that he has broken a manifesto pledge, but borisjohnson argues it is necessary to Raise Taxes to fund a Health Service reeling from the pandemic and to meet the challenges of social Care Something he said other governments had ducked for decades. The new tax will raise £36 Billion over the next three years. So, from april next year, National Insurance rates will increase by 1. 25 for all working adults in the uk, including older workers an amount matched by their employers. The Tax Rate on Share Dividends will also rise by 1. 25 . So what does all this pay for . As far as Social Care goes, anyone in england with assets less than £20,000 will have their Care Costs fully covered from october 2023. And those with assets between £20,000 and £100,000 will receive state support, but it will be means tested. And from october 2023, No One starting care in england will pay more than £86,000 on personal care across their lifetime. The changes will only apply in england. Scotland, wales and Northern Ireland have separate arrangements for Social Care, but they will receive more than £2 billion a year in extra health and social Care Spending.

Todays decisions are huge and not without risk, but Borisjohnsons Calculation is that this strategy is one that he will win. And, george, there is tonnes and tonnes to absorb in todays announcements, but first and foremost, this is a whopping Tax Rise that will raise more than £30 billion, will be paid by millions of workers and businesses right around the uk and it is the beginning of the uk and it is the beginning of the government trying to keep a promise to fix the Creaking System of Social Care that has been promised by government after government at the government. But it has there has been lots of belly aching from Opposition Parties concerned about whether or not the changes to the Tax System are fair and worry in the Tory Party itself over how this is being carried out, but borisjohnson has chosen the risk of an imperfect solution rather than the risk of doing nothing at all. Laura, Thank You very much. Borisjohnson has stressed that todays measures are aimed at ensuring those in need of Social Care in older age will no longer face what he called the Catastrophic Fear Of Losing Everything in order to pay for that help. Initially, Social Care in england will get {5. 4 Billion over the next three years. The money will help the 839,000 who are currently receiving long Term Support though many more have requested help. In fact, Age Uk estimates that 1. 5 Million older people are not receiving the care they really need. And the sector is short of staff there are currently 112,000 vacancies for Care Workers.

Hugh pym, Bbc News the Tax Rises outlined today not only mean workers paying more, but when you combine them with those announced in the budget earlier this year, Government Income from taxes will amount to its highest level in a0 years. Our Economics Editor Faisal Islam is here. Normally when you think of the conservative party, you think of low taxes. Weve not seen in individual taxes. Weve not seen in individual Tax Rise like this on pay packets for several years. But Tax Rise like this on pay packets for several years. Tax rise like this on pay packets for several years. But if you take a Step Back. For several years. But if you take a Step Back. You for several years. But if you take a Step Back, you can for several years. But if you take a Step Back, you can see for several years. But if you take a Step Back, you can see that Step Back, you can see that fundamental change that the pandemic has done for the share of taxation on the economy and what government does and it is suspending some of those things at the highest levels we have seen over a sustained basis, and if you take a Step Back from that, the question is, who is going to pay for all of that . And we can see, Cross Workers at different wage levels, £20,000 is about £230 per year and this is the employee National Insurance, 50,000 at £500 and six Figure Salaries will be over and six Figure Salaries will be over a thousand. Broadly speaking those that own the most will pay the most. It is progressive but thats half the story in terms of National Insurance. If you look at the employers, that goes up by a similar amount, £5 billion and dependent on what the firms do they could squeeze wages and increase prices and that could affect workers. The government have done couple of other things stretching National Insurance to older workers from 2023 and levied a 1. 25 extra tax on dividends which will raise a few hundred millions and are there to address concerns that this is mainly older people funding younger younger people funding younger younger people funding older peoples care bills.

Yes the Triple Lock which guarantees a rise in the State Pension which has been going for 12 years, that is going to rise by inflation or earnings, whatever has been the highest and earnings figures have been distorted because of the pandemic and the furlough and the lockdown and it is now double that for one year and that means it will go for one year and that means it will 9 up for one year and that means it will go up probably by inflation, three or 4 , saving the government around three or £4 Billion at a time when they really need the money. Thanks very much to find out more about the changes in Social Care announced today and how the system works in scotland, wales and Northern Ireland, you can find out more at bbc. Co. Uk news. Lets Take A Look at the latest Uk Coronavirus figures. There were 37,489 new infections recorded in the latest 24 Hour Period, which means an average of 38,500 cases per day in the last week. The figures also show there were nearly 8,000 people in hospital being treated for coronavirus yesterday. 209 deaths were reported in the latest 24 Hour Period thats people who died within 28 days of a positive covid 19 test. That takes the average number of deaths per day to 135 over the last week. On vaccinations, nearly 89 of people over the age of 16 have had theirfirstjab. And just over 80 have had both doses. Scotlands First Minister, Nicola Sturgeon has said her government will introduce legislation for a national care service, describing it as the most significant public Service Reform since the creation of The Nhs. Outlining her programme for government, she said funding for Social Care would increase by 25 per cent over five years. Ms sturgeon also said she wanted to hold a second Independence Referendum, as our Scotland Correspondent, lorna gordon, reports. No Pomp And Ceremony here.

Some of these are controversial with recent protest outside parliament, opinion polarised on proposed reforms to Gender Recognition. The resumption of work on a second referendum will also be the focus of much of the attention. Supporters of independence believe the dialogue on the debate has shifted with the deal between the scottish greens and the snp. Opponents though, think that this will pull communities apart rather than bringing them together.

In afghanistan, the taliban have announced an interim cabinet. It comes more than three weeks after they took control of most of the country. Today, hundreds of protesters, including many women, took to the streets of the capital, kabul and as Secunder Kermani reports from kabul they were met with warning shots. Death to pakistan, is what the crowd chant. They are furious at what they believe is the countrys support for the taliban, including, they allege, in taking over panjshir, the last province to be captured by the group. Pakistan has directly attacked our country. We dont want pakistan to announce the government here. Afghanistan is a free country. We women and men are not the same as those 20 years ago who were being whipped into submission. Pakistan says the taliban are afghan, its got nothing to do with them. I accept the taliban are afghans, but behind them is pakistan. They gave them this ideology. Pakistan says it has always worked for peace in afghanistan. Taliban members initially appeared to allow the protesters to march through the city. This is the biggest challenge to the Talibans Authority that weve seen so far, and its not coming from a militia force, its coming from peaceful protesters, from both women and men. In amongst the protesters, some not afraid to directly criticise the group. We demand freedom of speech, democracy, national resistance against the taliban. Arent you afraid . We are not afraid of death, we are the young generation and and make history. At a taliban press conference, the group rejected what they termed propaganda about pakistans influence. This evening, they finally announced their new government, naming Mullah Obaidullah emir, or supreme leader, of the Country And Sarajuddin haqqani, wanted by the fbi, as minister of interior. There is no women in the cabinet, what message do you think that sends out . Translation we havent announced all the ministries and deputies yet, i so its possible this list will be extended. Back at the protest, convoys of taliban vehicles made their way to the site. Eventually, fighters fired shots in the air to disperse the crowd. Dissent is not something the taliban is used to.
