Plus, after a week where it has become increasingly clear more tax rises are expected at the budget - what is the chancellor’s plan?

  • Hello, we are gearing up for the 25 hour podcastathon for children in need,

  • which is in less than a week's time.

  • In fact, we will be finishing it next Friday at nine AM.

  • Belatedly, we're turning our attention to what should be in it.

  • So there's a few things you can do.

  • You can send us a voice note telling us when you started listening to newscast,

  • when you like to listen and any memorable newscast moments,

  • and we will be playing them throughout the 25 hour period.

  • And that's a way of you kind of keeping me company.

  • And the way you can send them to us is newscast at bbc.co.uk by email or you can WhatsApp us on 033 0123 94.

  • 8-0.

  • And also,

  • I'm posting an Instagram story with a poll on it where you can let me know when you're planning to listen to the 25-hour podcastathon.

  • Because I'm guessing most people won't want to listen to all 25 hours.

  • You'll pick a shift.

  • So let me know when you're going to be listening.

  • And my Instagram handle is our Adam Fleming.

  • And this is now going to be the episode of newscast that we recorded with Chris and Friends of the Pod on Thursday night,

  • which was on BBC One.

  • But it's here now in your podcast feed,
