technically it is still budget data format, so that's what we will focus on in the papers. with me are polly mackenzie, chief executive of the think tank demos, and tom newton dunn, who's chief political commentator at times radio. there's only one story in town, the budget. the ft�*s headline, rishi sunak promises a post—>> kevin: age of optimism. the yorkshire post receives... the metro shows a picture of the chancellor and prime minister, and points, the biggest tax cut for 50 years. the ice as the chancellor is taking the tax burden back to the 1950s. —— the eye. the guardian reports that rishi sunak plans to cut taxes before the next general election after limiting his budget helped to deal with a crisis. the telegraph says the chancellor has taken spending to its highest levels since the 1970s. there's also a warning about households facing a squeeze from inflation and flat wages. the mere�*s headline is champagne for rich, as the cost of living is set to soar. the times mentions an extra £150 billion republic services and 2 million households to recover from the fallen universal credit. i wonder where we are. let's go to the daily telegraph which to begin with paraphrases shirley bassi.

this is not a tory budget, i think it's very clearfrom this is not a tory budget, i think it's very clear from pretty much the first few sentences when the chancellor announced a huge amount of extra public spending by a sizeable chunk, 10—15% once we crunched all the numbers. he also said he wanted to shrink the size. there's quite a ring of making it virtuous, but not yet.— there's quite a ring of making it virtuous, but not yet. what's going on?

"what if this can happen, this can happen?" you have to remind yourself that your training has been so good. so ijust have to keep reminding myself to do what i do in training, and things will be all right. now that is the flag of namibia, and this bowler is ruben trumpleman. a name to haunt scottish cricket — he took three wickets before scotland had scored three runs in the evening game. namibia, the absolute outsiders in this world cup, were left needing 110 to win. the chance of a lifetime — and they took it. joe wilson, bbc news. so another diappointing result for the scots, but their captain is remaining philosophical. i think we just need a bit of time to reflect on that, which we will do as a group and we'll look to see where we can improve. there's probably a couple areas. obviously being a few wickets down early doesn't make things easy. we don't have to keep searching too much, which is have to being clear with our game plans. to tennis — and andy murray is out of the vienna open after defeat to spain�*s carlos alcaraz in the second round. it�*s the first time in his career that he�*s lost at the tournament after wins in 2014 and 2016. he did beat alcaraz at indian wells earlier this month, but was unable to repeat that feat here. he lost the first set 6—3 and led 4—2 in the second, but the young spaniard reeled off four consecutive games to close out the match injust over two hours. an australian footballer has become the first current top flight player in the world to announce he�*s gay. midfielderjosh cavallo, who plays for adelaide united in the a league, read out an open letter on a video posted on twitter earlier. the 21—year—old said he�*s "finally comfortable" speaking out. it was a very, very long journey to get to this point in my life, you know? i�*m very happy with my decision to come out, and i hope that one day, i can inspire someone in the younger generation or someone else behind the phone that struggling, and see my story and realises that it�*s ok. the world loved this. we�*re in 2021, it�*s a different time to what it was before, it�*s more accepting. and i�*ve been nothing but given good things by the public. when i told my two coaches, i already felt so much better and felt like everything was off my shoulders, and i could perform on a complete different level. so knowing that the world knows now and i�*ve got no more secrets up my sleeve, i don�*t need to hide, i can be my authentic side and it�*s ok — i can�*t imagine what i can bring to the table right now. that�*s all the sport for now. from me, marc edwards, and the rest of the sport team, we�*ll see you soon, bye—bye. hello. 24—hour rain totals have now surpassed 230mm in the wettest parts of the cumbrian hills, and the met office amber warning for rain continues across cumbria and southwest scotland into thursday. there is more rain to come and, as all that water feeds down through the rivers and streams, the risk of flooding and disruption increases from a weather front which is very much still around in the day ahead, pulses of energy running along itjust enhancing the rainfall. so, there will be more rain to come on a very wet day in cumbria, for a time more widely across southern, central and eastern scotland, from the eastern side of northern ireland before it eases here, and pushing into more of northwest england and wales, and southwest england as the day goes on. northern scotland, sunny spells and a chance for showers, brightening up in northern ireland. largely dry through central and eastern parts of england. these are your wind speed averages — gusts are high, particularly with the rain band along irish sea coatsts, gusting near 50 mph in places, and the higher temperatures will be those parts of across eastern england that break out into a few sunny spells. we could well see 18 celsius again. there will be further rain overnight thursday into friday, but the idea is it�*s starting to move its way further east on another very mild night. and on friday, that rain will reach into parts of eastern england that have stayed dry through much of the week. there�*ll be another spell of rain moving through scotland — but as it all begins to pull away eastwards, it will be much drier to end friday, and particularly in those areas that have seen so much rain so far this week. at the same time, temperatures are coming down a few degrees. we�*re not finished with the rain, though — low pressure still very much in charge for the weekend, and another band of wet weather will arrive friday night into saturday. now it does look as if it�*s moving a little bit quicker now, this, so it will bring a spell of rain overnight into saturday, but clears away more readily on saturday, allowing a drier, brighter day after the rain with a few showers around. and again, notice our temperatures are edging downwards. it looks at this stage as if sunday will be the wetter day of the weekend. as low pressure feeds in yet more rain, some of this will be heavy as it moves its way northwards. the wind starts to pick up again, as well, and even after the rain, there�*ll be some heavy showers around. welcome to newsday. reporting live from singapore, i�*m karishma vaswani. the headlines... police in new mexico say they believe a live bullet was fired in the fatal shooting on the set of alec baldwin�*s new movie. we believe that we have in our possession the firearm that was fired by mr baldwin. this is the firearm we believe discharged the bullet. but it�*s too early to say whether they�*ll bring any charges. we�*ll have the latest. also in the programme... in the uk, the government�*s promising a post—covid age of optimism as the 2021 budget is delivered. in a bbc exclusive, new details about the fall of afghanistan. claims by the former president, ashraf ghani, that he had to flee the country to save his life are totally rejected
