In sport, theyre calling it one of the greatest european ties ever. Barcelona make history by coming from 4 0 down against Paris St Germain to win with the last kick of the game. And two years after historic Clandon Park House was gutted by fire, we report on the start of the huge restoration task. And carol has the weather. Good morning. For many this morning its a fairly cloudy start, also a damp one with showers or some rain but by mid morning, for most well have some lovely springlike weather with a fair bit of sunshine except across the Channel Islands and the south west, where it will be cloudy and damp, and it will be quite a windy day for some of us. More in 15 minutes. Good morning. First, our main story. The chancellor Phillip Hammond is facing accusations of breaking an Election Pledge by increasing National Insurance contributions for many Self Employed workers in yesterdays budget. Hes facing growing pressure to reconsider his plan from some backbench conservative mps. The treasury has defended the increase, saying it will return fairness to the system. The amount Self Employed workers will pay will rise from 9 to ii by april 2019. It means an average increase of £240 a year. And itll affect around two million workers across the uk, raising £145 million a year for the treasury by 2022. Our Political Correspondent Eleanor Garnier is In Westminster for us this morning. Its already starting to get a tiny bit awkward for the chancellor, isnt it, even from his own mps. He has certainly ended up with a bit of a row on his hands and there is lots of criticism that this policy breaks a promise in the Conservative Ma Nifesto a promise in the conservative manifesto not to put up National Insurance, so there are calls this morning for the chancellor to reverse yesterdays announcement. Critical tories say it does nothing to encouraged enterprise, does nothing to encourage risk taking. One mp said he was worried it would hit voters he described as white van men. So, yes, calls forthe ministers and the government to change their mind, but ministers are insistent there wont be a u turn and these changes will make the system fairer. But labour said this is the government breaking promises and clobbering the Self Employed. Elsewhere, there was extra cash for social care, £2 million to help ease the Creaking System and also help to soften the blow of changes to Business Rates with a £300 million hardship fund. Labour saying, Business Rates with a £300 million hardshipfund. Laboursaying, look, that can knock money isnt enough, especially for social care and the nhs that especially for social care and the nhs that kind of money. And this morning, the morning after the budget, all the giveaways Philip Hammond managed to find are being overshadowed by that row over National Insurance. Elia ghani Eleanor Garnier In Westminster for us Eleanor Garnier In Westminster for us this morning. Steph is outside the studio with some experts and people wholl be affected, how are the changes being received . Good morning to you and good morning, everybody. As you heard there, one of the big stories especially for business is this change in the National Insurance that the Self Employed will pay. A couple of experts we can talk to about this, rebecca, a tax expert. We heard the chancellor talking a lot about fairness, does this make the system fairer for working people . There is always a difficult question because it depends on your perspective but the Current System has been in place for years. Fair. It comes from a time when most we re fair. It comes from a time when most were employed and not many were Self Employed so the Current System compensates Self Employed people for the risks they were taking about being Self Employed. What the government have done is they have focused on the benefits people get in future, as theyre saying people essentially get the same pensions, theyve got to equalise the system. Interesting, kelly, you are Self Employed and youve been trying to work out for the last 12 hours what it will mean for you and kelly, what it will mean for you and kelly, what are your thoughts . what it will mean for you and kelly, what are your thoughts . I think youre right, rebecca, as an entrepreneur you take risks, you are taking the road less travelled. So eroding the Dividend Tax Allowance and increasing National Insurance contributions will have an impact on finances and it erodes the profitability of being Self Employed. Profitability of being selfemployed. Have you worked out how much it will cost you . A couple of 100 pounds a year, which isnt substantial but at the same time its sending a bad message to businesses. Is it putting pressure on you as an entrepreneur . Absolutely, i think it is. Thank you for your time, absolutely, i think it is. Thank you foryourtime, i absolutely, i think it is. Thank you for your time, i know youll be joining us through the show and we will have more experts here to talk to us about what this means for them. Steph, thanks very much for that. Well be speaking to the chancellor Philip Hammond just after 7am this morning. Scotlands First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has told the bbc that the common sense time for a second Independence Referendum would be autumn next year. A vote can only take place with the permission of the westminster government. But the remarks are the clearest signal yet that the snp is planning to hold another vote before the uk leaves the european union. In westminster, some politicians think youre bluffing about holding a referendum. Im not and i never have been. Ialways a referendum. Im not and i never have been. I always think that sometimes says more about them than it does about me because it suggests that there are politicians In Westminster who think brexit and all of this is some con of game. Its not a of this is some con of game. Its nota game, of this is some con of game. Its not a game, its really really serious and the implications for the uk serious and the indications for scotland are serious. Some of your collea g u es scotland are serious. Some of your colleagues talk about autumn 2018 as a likely date. Within that window, as an outline of a uk deal becomes clear, and the uk exiting the eu i think would be the common sense time for scotland to have that choice if thatis for scotland to have that choice if that is the road we choose to go down. Just to be clear, youre not ruling out autumn 2018 . Im not ruling out autumn 2018 . Im not ruling out autumn 2018 . Im not ruling out anything, no.

Thanks, mike. Time fora in the papers for you in a moment. Thanks, mike. Time for a first look at the weather with carol. Good morning. This morning it is a cloudy start, a damp one for some as well but most of us will end up like this, a beautiful weather watchers picture from Port Ballantrae in Northern Ireland from yesterday. What we have this morning will be sunny spells developing particularly through the middle part of the morning, late morning into the afternoon and remaining mild with temperatures above average for the time of year. But theres also quite a bit of cloud around this morning. Across the Channel Islands in the south west, that is producing some damp conditions. Its also rather windy this morning too and we have got some showers but some of us will start with some sunshine. We start at 7am across cornwall, into the Channel Islands, this is where we have a Weather Front and thats whats producing all the cloud and damp conditions. Across the rest of Southern England into east anglia, the midlands and wales, some blue skies to start with, variables amounts of cloud, quite windy at the moment in Northern Ireland, north england, central and Southern Scotland, slowly easing through the day and then we run into a rush of showers, some emerging to bring outbreaks of rain across scotland with snow on the tops of the mountains. Remaining windy even into the evening into the Northern Isles. The cloud we have will break up through the morning and then it will bea through the morning and then it will be a beautiful spring day. You can see where we still hang on to the cloud in the far south west and Channel Islands, here we have temperatures around 11, but top temperatures around 11, but top temperatures today could get to 15 01 temperatures today could get to 15 or possibly 16 somewhere in the south east. Even as we go further north, ten at this stage in march in stornoway is a healthy temperature, if of course you like it on the mild side through the evening and overnight, this Weather Front in the south west will tend to move and ta ke south west will tend to move and take its cloud and rain with it across northern and western parts of the country. Most of the rain and drizzle will be on the coasts and the hills and as you push further east we wont have the cloud in Eastern Areas at this stage, so under clearer skies theres the risk of ground frost. We start tomorrow with clearer skies in Eastern Areas but dont be fooled by because our Weather Front in the west will move over to the easter through the day, taking rain and drizzle with it, nothing too substantial the east. Behind it we see some breaks, particularly in the west and particularly in the west and particularly in the shelter of any hills and temperatures down a touch but still across england and wales and Northern Ireland in particular we are looking at above average. Backin we are looking at above average. Back in scotland, for some above average but a bit lower, not much than today. That leads us into the weekend, turning a bit more u nsettled weekend, turning a bit more unsettled beca
