Of emissions to zero by 2050 is set in law, and by then the country will only be able to put as many pollutants into the atmosphere as it can take out but rishi sunak is about to make a significant gear shift in how the government plans to get there. Ministers insist it is just the route that is changing not the destination. The Prime Minister is taking an approach of pragmatism and proportionality when it comes to delivering our net zero commitments. Its right that he assesses the issue as a whole, taking into account peoples bank balances, livelihoods and ultimately we wont save the country by bankrupting the biggest people. Delays on gas boilers has been called for by some conservative mps to agree it would be a burden on households. But the farmer cabinet minister alec sharma seen with the king and rishi sunak is a person who worries it will because modes in international influence. Some Opposition Politicians think rishi sunak is misreading the public mood. We know investment in the Green Economy is good forjobs in the environment and its good the economy. So basically he seems to be doing this simply to draw some political dividing lines with the labour party, which is so reckless. Car makers have said they are concerned about the suggestion that the ban on new petrol and diesel cars could be moved back from 2030. In a statement, ford said, our Business Needs three things from the uk government, ambition, commitment and consistency. The view of the industry is we are on track for ending Fossil Fuel Vehicles stop its not for turning back in the uk should be leading it both as a market and manufacturer. It is expected that labour will recommit to the 2030 date if the government announces it is delaying it. Government has been signing up hundreds of millions of pounds of Taxpayer Subsidies to help businesses get ready for these long held changes, and now rishi sunak is you turning via leaks and midnight statements from the bunker at Downing Street. Its not how you run a country. Rishi sunak are now set out his plans in Downing Street later this afternoon. No doubt it will be a significant move on a major issue. Is under growing pressure to explain exactly why he is making it. The chair of the car manufacturing giant, ford uk, has criticised the governments announcement. The uk 2030 target is a vital catalyst to accelerate ford into a cleanerfuture. Lets speak to lord deben, former chair of the Climate Change committee and current chair of sancroft international, a sustainable consultancy firm.

If he does turn back the timing of oil or electric cars, that will be very damaging. Every damaging for the industry itself. It will mean motorists will not get the benefits of lower prices as quickly as they would otherwise have and he will have no other commitment nor ambition nor consistency which in the three things that quite rightly the three things that quite rightly the Motor Car Industry asking for. I make others might say proponents of this are Watering Down as its been described that the uk has made Good Progress so far to reducing emissions which have fallen since 1990 around 48 . So things are on track people might say. Know they are not because those figures are only working if you go back to 1990. If you go back to the last few years under this government, we have fallen behind. Germany is now leading and we are doing much less well in all our Climate Change policies than the United States and the rest of europe and even china has now moved up the scale with its very considerable commitment to more offshore wind and photovoltaic. So whereas we were leaders three years ago, we are now the Tail End Charlie is as far as the major countries are concerned and this will make it worse. If this is as we understand it then it will not enable us to Reach Net Zero by 2050. We are already missing the target and Climate Change permitted cell absolutely in detail and i announced that two that my last report quite clearly and said what the government had to do and it was to do new things and additional things, not cutting out the old ones. Thats exactly what the government tos own investigator said in his report which he did for the government. Truth . Which he did for the government. Why didnt the Prime Minister is doing the same .

It seems to me to be a i shortterm proposal that somebody short term proposal that somebody suggested to him that somehow or other its better to have a division between him and the labour party on this. This is not what the Climate Change act is supposed to do. The Climate Change act was invented by the conservatives and supported by every other party in opposition and picked up by the government so this is a cross party act and to start trying to play Party Politics with this is very damaging and we know what happens when you do it. David cameron tried to and if you remember, he cut a hole lot of green decisions that had been made and we now pay the cost of that. Peoples bills are very significantly higher because we stopped the expansion of the cheapest form of Generating Electricity which is renewables. We did that in the same sort of argument that the government thought it would try to get a gap between it and the opposition. It didnt work then and wont work now. And the opposition. It didnt work then and wont work now. Some people have the counter then and wont work now. Some people have the counter view then and wont work now.

There are people concerned that in The Cost Of Living crisis, some of these environmental measures are just crisis, some of these environmental measures arejust going crisis, some of these environmental measures are just going to hard right now and thats why they support the idea that things are slowed down.

What we need to do for the climate is lower The Cost Of Living and thats the fact of the matter. What these people are saying is actually untrue. The fact of the matter is that these measures will in fact weigh upon people rather than make people less depressed. And what we need to do is help those people. Why is this government not reaching to help people, make the changes necessary . Is a great deal of money in the private sector available to enter this and we should be taxing people for example who are using their own private planes and use that tax in order to provide for those people who want to change but cant afford to do it. There is a great deal we can do to make sure that the poorest and those least well off are protected and the rest of us will benefit from the changes which rishi sunak seems to want to put off.

Joining us to now is anthony browne, conservative mp for south cambridgeshire, and vice chair of the all Party Parliamentary environment group. You were of you were of course you were of course listening to him there. He is not happy that the government is going to water down some of its measures when it comes to Climate Change. What would you say to that . I to Climate Change. What would you say to that . Say to that . I dont know exactly the announcement say to that . I dont know exactly the announcement the say to that . I dont know exactly the announcement the prime say to that . I dont know exactly the announcement the Prime Minister will make shortly. I think there are important thing is we get to net zero by 2050 and that is the ultimate commitment. We have a pragmatic deliverable plan to get there and thats what i absolutely want to see. And i hope we do it in a way that is fair to the british people. And if there are huge costs such as changing borders and so on, we need to find a way that people cannot live with that and the policy is aligned to that. What i want to see is a pragmatic, deliverable programme to get to net zero by 2050 that isnt about wishful thinking. It has to be a real Concrete Plan and im confident thus to some Person Recipe is. I attended a meeting with him a couple of weeks ago and i know he is committed to getting to net zero by 2050 and i know he is someone who looks at how to deliver something rather than just making an announcement and hoping it follow. The other thing, as the lord to talk to the last couple years, since 2010, we have cut Carbon Dioxide by nearly 40 which is twice the rate of the eu and twice the g7 average. As more than any other g7 country. We dont just have the largest Offshore Wind Farm in the world, we have the largest fall in the world and eliminated coal for electricity production. We have done so much and are racing ahead of other countries. If. Limit is cut in. If the uk is racing ahead, why did the Climate Change Committee Report earlier this year that continued delays in Policy Development and implementation in reaching that target by 2050 was increasingly challenging and you also hear from greenpeace increasingly challenging and you also hearfrom Greenpeace Uk saying that that report from the Climate Change committee was a pitiful catalogue of richey sunak� s climate failures . Are clearly a lot of people know about this area and dont think things are going as well as you say they are. Mike is absolutely right that groups like greenpeace hard the government to that. And basically were saying that the current mix of policies needed to be implemented in order to get to 2050 and i dont think. I dont know what else he will say in the next hour or so but that is im sure what he says will be consistent with that. You need the policies to deliver that and implement those policies. And part of the report is saying there are a lot of things we still need to do which is absolutely true. Its over 25 years away and we have little time to do it but we need to go ahead and do things. You say we have a little time but all the reports so far suggest a Watering Down of some of the policies. Let me put some words you wrote yourself back in march 2022. You said now is not the time to go slow on net zero. He said the answer to the Current Crisis is more people driving electric cars, less electricity produced by fossil fuels. The invasion of ukraine is not a reason to give up a net zero in rather a reason to redouble efforts. If we are going to see a Watering Down in some ways of the policies that might encourage more people for example to drive electric cars, thats at odds with what you are pushing for a year ago. I dont disauree are pushing for a year ago. I dont disagree with are pushing for a year ago. I dont disagree with what are pushing for a year ago. I dont disagree with what i are pushing for a year ago. I dont disagree with what i was are pushing for a year ago. I dont disagree with what i was saying i are pushing for a year ago. I dont disagree with what i was saying a | disagree with what i was saying a year ago, we have to make a real commitment to get on net zero. In terms of precise timeline is, i dont know. Electric and diesel cars by 2030, the rest of the eu is 2035. So all we will do is align to that. In my constituency, i have a rural constituency with oil boilers and i get a lot of concern from them about how to replace his oil boilers with heat pumps and apparently the Heat Pump Technology isnt there yet. You have to be pragmatic about how you get there and as i say, we have done so well in terms of reducing Carbon Dioxide emissions and is actually lower now per capital then it was hundred and 50 years ago. We have gone way ahead of other countries. Its actually fair enough. Gone way ahead of other countries. Its actually fair enough. Its actually fair enough. Sorry to cut in its actually fair enough.

And were starting to see the effects of that. Over the last couple of days, the emphasis of the heaviest of rain across North West England and north wales. And just take a look at some of the Rainfall Totals thats totting up now. In cumbria, 193 millimetres, in north wales, 133 millimetres. And if we take a look at the rainfall for the last three days, you can see how widespread its been, the emphasis with the heaviest always out to the west. And in the last few hours this has been the story with that rain pushing its way steadily eastwards. So the rain is going to continue to push its way southeast with the emphasis through the afternoon across parts of lincolnshire and southeast england. So for the early evening rush hour, its going to be pretty miserable with some heavier pulses of rain from time to time, accompanied by 40, 50mph gusts of winds. Behind it, quite a clearance with some sunny spells to close out the day. But to the far north and west, 50 to 60mph gusts of winds and rash of showers tucking in along north and west facing coast closest to this area of low pressure. Through the night Weather Front will ease away from the southeast and sandwiched in between the two with those clearer skies, we will actually see those temperatures falling away. So a chillier start in comparison to recent mornings. So thursday morning then well see that Early Morning rain clearing away, some sunshine coming through. A scattering of showers across west facing coast, closest to the low still is where well see the most frequent widespread showers and still Gale Force Gusts of winds. Not out of the question across the far northwest here. It will be cooler, 13 or 15 degrees further south. Were looking at 16 to 19 celsius. Friday, another day of sunny spells and scattered showers. Most of the showers out to the west. But we cant rule out one or two just filtering a little bit further east as the afternoon progresses. And temperatures again, 12 to 18 degrees. Weve lost that humidity as well as we close out the end of the week. The winds swinging round to a north westerly direction. But a brief ridge of High Pressure for the first half of the weekend will quieten things down and may linger in the far south, but not for long. For most of us, were likely to see more rain from sunday onwards. This is bbc news. The headlines. Officials say more than 400 migrants lost their lives last week after floods in libya. Iran passes legislation to increase penalties for women who defy strict islamic dress code. Violations could mean a decade injail. The british Home Secretary clashes with facebook over plans by the Social Media Giant to encrypt messages. And king charles begins a state visit to france with a special ceremony at the arc de triomphe. A state dinner will take place later. Now it is time for a look at the sport. Here is a full round up. Hello from the bbc sport centre. Most of spains world cup winning squad have decided to end their strike, returning to play for the National Team after the countrys Football Federation said it would make immediate and profound changes to its structure.

Those two are barcelonas Patri Guijarro and mapi leon, neither of whom played at the world cup, and left the squad earlier on wednesday. Translation it is a fact the | situation is different to the rest of our colleagues
