Summary
<p>Today, we look at a protest in Westminster by farmers over inheritance tax changes announced in the Budget.
Around 10,000 people are believed to have attended a rally in Whitehall today protesting changes to inheritance tax. From April 2026, inherited agricultural assets worth more than £1m will be liable to tax. Prime Minister Keir Starmer says he understands the concerns, but says the “vast majority” of farms will be unaffected.
Plus, Ukraine has fired US-supplied long range missiles at a target inside Russian territory for the first time. Adam is joined by Ukraine Correspondent James Waterhouse.
