Hello, it's Adam in the newscast studio.
And on Wednesday, this room was the scene of lots of analysis of Rachel Reeves first budget which included a 40 billion pound a year increase in taxes.
But now that we've all had a chance to sleep on it, lots of stories have emerged from it.
And we're going to spend this episode looking in detail at three of them in reverse order they are.
Why are farmers so annoyed about the changes to inheritance tax?
Why are some businesses quite annoyed about the changes to national insurance contributions for employers?
But first of all, we're going to look at the massive amount of public money, tens of billions of pounds that is going to the nhs.
And I did that in our Westminster studio by grabbing a quick word with the Health Secretary, Wes Streeting, who is going to open this episode of Newscast.
