It was all square in the last frame, with the black ball having to be respotted, qualifierjakjones missed an easy pot, wilson came up with this, was it a fluke or a touch of genius . Whatever it was, it put him i7 frames to 11 up, jones had threatened to mount a comeback with his First Century of the match. But wilson, who was runner up to Ronnie Osullivan in 2020 is now one away. Lets go to that frame now. It is jackjones at the table with a healthy lead and has been fighting the welsh qualifier, jakjones but has never recovered from the first session, 7 1 on sunday, but fighting back and has had his first entry in the last few frames and he is now at the table looking to stretch this final out. But you cannot really see wilson not get a frame in the next couple. It has been pretty error strewn is final in sheffield, but it will not go down as a classic, but there will be a new name on the trophy in the next few hours. Of Rio Grande Do Sul have caused the worst flooding the country has seen in 80 years. That extreme flooding has affected other countries around the world, especially those in east africa. An el nino intensified cyclone has caused deadly floods in kenya and tanzania. In parts of texas they have had nearly two foot of rain in the last week, thousands displaced around houston. And in Southern China around guandong province they have had weeks of heavy rainfall that has displaced around 100,000 people. All these areas would expect heavy seasonal rains, but this year it is being supercharged by Climate Change and the el nino la nina weather patterns. And it will get worse as Sea Temperatures rise. Here in the uk the met office says the 18 months to march 2024 were the wettest since records began. The trend continued into april with 55 more rainfall than normal. New figures released by the national farmers� union in the uk show 82 of farmers are suffering the negative impacts of the wet weather. And on top of that 65 of farmers say their profits are declining or say they wont survive. Lets speak now to tom bradshaw, president of the national farmers� union. Good to have you with us.

Youve highlighted the 18 months of incredibly wet weather we have had and that is just put a huge amount of pressure on farm businesses. Starting injuly of pressure on farm businesses. Starting in july last years which meant that half the harvest was very difficult we are harvesting cereal crops moving into september, october where we should be crops we should harvest the summer and unfortunately we had a deluge through those months so it would be incredibly difficult. Then we had storm event in in brett lee, that was the moment that many farmers thought, how are we going to cope with this storm babbett. Continuing right through the winter with 13 storms through the winter with 13 storms through the winter with flood event after flood event and there are many firms now that still have fields that will not get a crop so they will have no financial income in those fields this growing season. So it goes wider than those farmers those that have been lambing outdoors have had a challenging march and april.

Because they have not got the crops in the ground, have not been able and dairy cows have been inside for much longer than they would normally would be, not outside greasing. Youll see store prices raised because of shortage of crops so it is a perfect storm of events. We desperately need government to recognise this is an extraordinary situation and that they need to step in and support the industry. If our Food Producers in and support the industry.

Well another industry that is struggling, and has been since covid is the pub sector. It is not exclusively down to the pandemic and wet bank holiday mondays. Some of this is down our changing habits. The younger generations dont drink as much, cant afford to drink as much. And as a result a lot of pubs have disappeared. But heineken is bucking the trend, they have Just Announced they will invest £39 million in more than 600 of its pubs in the uk a move they says will bring 62 of them back from the dead. The dutch brewer said the cash injection into its Star Pubs Operation will create more than 1,000 jobs. Lets talk now to mick howard Operations Director at star pubs which is part of heineken uk and operates 2,400 pubs across the uk. It must be welcome news, this.
