2. 6 billion by the end of the next parliament. Then, by giving hmrc more money and cracking down on tax that should be paid, but isnt, they think they would raise this 5 billion a year within the next few years. There is a question of ambition here, about how much labour wants to do if it wins power, and what we are hearing is here is a few billion. Small change in Big Government terms, is that it . £5 billion is not small change. It is in terms of government spending. Well, £5 billion will mean that we can have two million additional appointments in the nhs, so to clear the. Let me tell you about the ambition because it is huge. At the moment there are more than Seven Million on nhs waiting lists. This will mean that every year an additional two million appointments can take place. It means for people who cant get a dentist on the nhs, 700,000 additional appointments, and for every Primary School child, a free breakfast club.

And the American Economy is doing way better than ours, betterthan economy is doing way better than ours, better than most european economies. And i dont think people in america are feeling it yet but thatis in america are feeling it yet but that is what i read anyway.

So, identical experiment because part of the problem in our era is that we are too isolated and we do not do enough things together and i did, i watched the eclipse in real life with my glasses with my husband and one other person. And then i came up and watched it online.

Hello. Tuesday was another wet, windy and fairly wild day of weather for many of us. Weve had some really big waves around the coast, some coastal flooding, too, across parts of Southern England<\/a> and wales. This was the picture in new brighton, in wirral earlier on in the day. But the strongest of the winds, the heaviest of rain will be easing fairly quickly. So turning much quieter tonight and colder, especially in the east. As low pressure clears away into the north sea weve got this ridge of High Pressure<\/a> with us, at least temporarily, before the next Weather System<\/a> arrives. But under the clearing skies through this evening and tonight, those temperatures are going to drop quite quickly. So by the time we get to the early hours of wednesday morning, especially for central and eastern parts of scotland, central and eastern england, too those temperatures 2 3 degrees in some of our urban areas, but a touch cool in that in the countryside. So i think A Touch Of Frost<\/a> around in the east. So the cold air mass with us. But its not going to be long until this next area of milder air works in from the west behind this weather front, its a warm front. Its going to track its way eastwards through wednesday, bringing rain, i think at times to all areas. Best of any sunshine will be through the morning for Eastern Scotland<\/a> and eastern england. Theres the cloud and the rain, then tracking eastwards, the wind picking up from the southwest. So its going to be a breezy day on wednesday. Gusts up to around 30 miles an hour orso inland, perhaps a bit stronger than that around some coastal areas. But it wont be quite as windy as it has been during monday and tuesday. The heaviest of the rain will be across the north West Of Scotland<\/a> here. But temperatures on the rise from the west so belfast up to around 16 degrees or so, probably one of the warmest spots on wednesday. Moving through into thursday then, we have got that milder air with us because the winds are going to be coming in from more of a westerly direction. Not much on this weather front. You can see here it will be easing away, but it could well bring some low cloud and drizzliness in the south to start the day. Probably the best of The Brightness On Thursday<\/a> will be for parts of North East England<\/a> and Eastern Scotland<\/a>. But i think most places should brighten up through the day. Again, a bit of a breeze coming in from the west or the southwest and lifting temperatures to 18 or 19 degrees for some of us. So its looking a bit milder on thursday and that milder trend continues into friday as well. But look at the blue colours that then return as we head through sunday and into next week. So temporarily some slightly warmer weather on the cards, particularly towards the south, 19,20 degrees in london. More unsettled, though, further north. And then were all going to see those temperatures dropping down as we head through the course of next week. Bye bye. Tonight at ten Thugs In Suits<\/a> how alan bates described the post office as he gives evidence to the inquiry into the wrongful convictions of hundreds of postmasters. Hes led the Campaign Forjustice<\/a> for years and still has one aim for his fellow former postmasters. For the original Victim Groups<\/a> to get their money sooner rather than later. I mean, its gone on far too long. The group of women, mostly in their 70s, sucessfully sued their home country of switzerland for not protecting them from climate change. The man arrested on suspicion of murdering a mother as she pushed her baby in a pram her family talk to the bbc. Works it to foden, created the opening, brilliant and a Champions League<\/a> thriller, with six goals finding the back of the net, including this stunner from englands phil foden. And on newsnight at 10. 30, well go deeper behind the headlines and speak live to key players on todays big stories. Plus a first look at tomorrows front pages. Good evening. He became a Household Name<\/a> when his story was told to millions in a tv drama, and today the real alan bates gave evidence for the first time to the post Office Horizon<\/a> inquiry. He condemned the post office as a dead duck, beyond saving. He said the organisation had lied as part of a cover up that led to hundreds of Sub Postmasters<\/a> being wrongly prosecuted because of a faulty computer system. The post office had, the inquiry heard in a letter mr bates wrote years earlier to the government, acted like Thugs In Suits<\/a>.
