the pro—palestinian marches taking place in capitals everywhere and that reference to those taking place in edinburgh. the main gist of what he was talking about was mainly around the oil and gas industry. he was claiming it is his government that can secure jobs in that industry upon which many in the north—east of scotland in particular aberdeen rely upon. he said the transition to carbon capture will take place but he was saying currently labour and snp are looking to kill off the industry now. i must mention in response what labour's shadow scottish secretary has said to that. ian murray. the labour shadow scottish secretary says the prime minister was making a desperate trip north to rally the fragments of the scottish tory party. he added that the chaotic and damaging government offers the people of scotland nothing but more economic turmoil and incompetence and dangerous political brinkmanship and dangerous political brinkmanship and pledged labour if voted into government would deliver a proper windfall tax on energy firms along with 50,000 clean energyjobs in scotland. that is what labour's shadow scottish secretary said but as you heard there at the conference, rishi sunak talking about his government being the only ones who could protect those jobs. we can discuss this further and speak to the scotland editorjames cook. probably not surprised seeing that rishi sunak the prime minister was focusing very much on the jobs that he said he can protect in opposition to what he claims labour are able to do. plat opposition to what he claims labour are able to do.— are able to do. not 'ust labour in his view but h are able to do. not 'ust labour in his view but the — are able to do. notjust labour in his view but the scottish - are able to do. notjust labour in j his view but the scottish national party as well. the future of the north sea oil and gas industry and the speed at which it transitions to renewable energy is becoming a hotter topic as we get into the general election year proper. we do not know when that election will be but it seems clear that in the fight for some seats in the north—east of scotland, where the conservatives and snp are squaring off against each other, there is going to be an argument about who is best placed to protectjobs argument about who is best placed to protect jobs this argument about who is best placed to protectjobs this city has relied on to thrive for many decades in terms of being the oil and gas capital of europe and also who has the smartest plan to transition that industry into the future as the uk begins to scale back carbon emissions and moves towards renewable energy and, as we have heard from the conservative party leader, rishi sunak, his position is that his party is best placed to look over the transition and protect existing jobs. labourand snp the transition and protect existing jobs. labour and snp say not, the labour party saying they are invested in that transition while protecting jobs. invested in that transition while protectingjobs. keir invested in that transition while protecting jobs. keir starmer has also been in the north—east of scotland and the scottish national party likewise say they are focused on reducing carbon emissions in scotland in a way that preserves jobs in the north—east of scotland. and there is a lot of lobbying going on for the companies as well. it is on for the companies as well. it is not 'ust on for the companies as well. it is notjust labour— on for the companies as well. it is notjust labour rishi sunak had a dig at. but the snp as well and criticised what he called an obsession with independence and he also said it was thanks to snp that scotland is the high tax capital of the uk. , ., ., , the uk. yes. i mean that is the argument- _ the uk. yes. i mean that is the argument. when _ the uk. yes. i mean that is the argument. when you _ the uk. yes. i mean that is the argument.

earning more than just under 30,000 a year argument. when you are earning more thanjust under 30,000 a year in scotland, you are paying more in income tax than you would be elsewhere in the uk. i think opponents of the prime minister might retort that he leads a party that presided over a position where overall tax burden in the uk is at its highest level in 70 years. i think there is a lot of smoke and mirrors when it comes to taxation and a lot of debate at the moment in the run—up to this budget. the chancellor considering what measures to bring in and if there should be cuts to national insurance and i asked rishi sunak earlier whether or not he would be extending or raising the windfall tax levy on the north sea, which a lot of companies in aberdeen are concerned about. he refused to rule out doing so saying it would not be appropriate to comment on the plan is still being finalised in the budget. i asked him, because why not, when will the election be. he laughed. he did say

cook. today is the meteorological first day of spring after the wettest february on record in parts of the uk according to new figures from the met office. it has been a mild winter with fewer frosty nights than normal. we have been finding out about the ups and downs of the winter weather. it's been wet and mild too. one magnolia in bloom isn't surprising in february, but seeing so many different varieties blooming early here at kew gardens is unusual. we've seen a lot less frost than normal this winter. good news for some, but not for trees like apples and pears that need their cold winter sleep. they need more of those chill hours. if they don't get enough, they can produce less fruit buds, which later in the year will lead to less fruit, or perhaps even not fruit at all. here we are at the bbc weather centre, where it has been a really hectic winter for all of us. we've had so many different changes to contend with. the weather has thrown so much at us. a series of named storms. yes, a little bit of frost and snow, but also an awful lot of rain. overall, though, it's been a mild winter, which means there hasn't been much frost. we can see the least frosty winters all clustered in the recent decades and the most frosty ones through the �*60s and �*70s. here at the met office in exeter, they collect data every hour of every day, crunching the numbers to work out what the ups and downs of our weather can tell us about our changing climate. our climate has warmed by about a degree in the last 50 or 60 years. one degree in the average winter temperature can have quite significant impacts. and if we're talking about frosts, that one degree warming is equivalent to about three weeks fewer frosts over the course of a year. for the scientists at kew, this means they're having to assess all their big plants working out which ones are at risk as the climate warms. we know which ones are vulnerable in certain scenarios and which ones we've got that actually might be resilient in certain scenarios. so we can then make a plan. it's been a real mixed bag across the uk this winter with all sorts of weather extremes, but overall we've seen more mild wet days than cold snowy ones and that's something we'll have to learn to live with as the climate continues to warm. ben rich, bbc news. we can speak to a scientist working for the national climate information centre and he developed systems for monitoring the uk climate. thank you for waiting. you had to wait for the prime minister to finish speaking say thanks for hanging on. tell me about how data _ say thanks for hanging on. tell me about how data is _ say thanks for hanging on. tell me about how data is gathered. - say thanks for hanging on. tell me about how data is gathered. we i about how data is gathered. we collect data from several hundred weather stations across the uk and that enables us to compile statistics from the season just gone and we can use it to look at similar records going back through the 20th century and into the 19th. if we look at february, we have just had the warmest february on record in england and wales in a series that goes back to 1884. it has been extremely wet across the south of england. more than twice the average... sorry, more than twice the average rainfall really quite widely. that same warm and wet theme is also true of the winter overall. it has been in the top ten warmest winters and top ten wettest winters in the uk in a series extending back to the 19th century. what is interesting is winter fits with several other recent winters. 2020, 2016 and 2014. often we have had temperatures, daytime, of10 degrees into the low teens when during winter we would normally expect average temperatures to reach perhaps 6—7. it has

climate is variable and we can see this from day to day variation. we have named storms through the year and so on. we are interested to look at the trend in the climate and we can clearly see in observations and projections going out to 2100, which tell us climate will continue to warm and we will continue to see very mild winters, wet winters, into the future. the recent study by colleagues here looked at february 2020, which was wetter than the february we have just had. they found in the current climate, to have a february as wet as that was made three times more likely as a result of climate change. by the end of this century, a february like that will be approximately nine times more likely. we should come to expect more mild and wet winters like this. injanuary we recorded 19.9 celsius, and all—time temperature record within that month in a weather station in scotland. we have set weather records like that in january 2024 and have set weather records like that injanuary 2024 and in six of the 12 months of the year since 2011. these patterns in observations are telling us clearly climate is changing. mike, thank you for talking through what the patterns mean. three people have been jailed for life for the murder of a vulnerable woman who was tortured, starved and battered to death. june kelly can tell us more. this is an horrendous case and the killers in this case were involved in what the judge described as an orgy of violence. and the brutality they used was astonishing for the jury they used was astonishing for the jury to listen to. this is a young woman called shakira spencer, befriended by a woman who led a trio of people and they isolated shakira from herfamily of people and they isolated shakira from her family and friends and then tortured, starved and eventually beat her to death. they took a dying shakira back to her home in west london. she was in a fragile state. they put her in a cupboard, she was dying. they returned to the flat and moved her to a bunk bed, where her decomposed body was found. a tragic case. herfamily were in court today. we heard statements from them and herfather said the today. we heard statements from
