Autumn Statement: Chancellor cuts National Insurance but tax burden will rise

Jeremy Hunt has used his Autumn statement to announce a bigger than expected cut to National Insurance. We hear from voters on whether this could be an election-winner.

The Chancellor has said the economy has "turned a corner" - as he set out the government's tax and spending plans. Also on the programme: as Israel says the expected hostage release has been delayed - we look at the Gulf state of Qatar's role in striking the deal with Hamas. And anti-Islam populist politician Geert Wilders is heading for a dramatic victory in the Dutch general election.
