briefly get quite cold but then will briefly get quite cold but then we bring rain in from the west, briefly some snow over high ground and as that weakening rain band spread eastwards, we see things turning milder once again from the west with sunshine through thursday afternoon just a few showers. temperatures for some of us just starting to rise a little. that is a sign of things to come. as we head towards the weekend, high pressure will build quite strongly to the south of the uk. frontal systems bringing rain at times up towards the north but broadly, a south or south—westerly flow of air and that will bring a very mild feel to the weather for the time of year. double—digit temperatures for most of us as we head into the weekend but they will often be a lot of

cloud.

rates, you can see how it work, you make it more expensive to borrow so something like the housing market or the car market cools, as inflation rates, as interest rates get hiring because it becomes more expensive to make a big purchase, there are other reasons we are seeing inflation cool reasons we are seeing inflation cool. one is the supply chain issues we saw goods that people were trying to get their hands on, we have seen a lot of that come down and that means that demand comes down, perhaps prices start to come down with it and another is wage growth, especially when we look at the services industry. now, those are some things where if wage growth begins to moderate some of those increases don't get passed down to consumer, so these are a few reasons why we begin to see prices falling here president biden called this good new, he called on large corporations to pass the saving is on to consumers and we have yet to see what it means for the fed as it moves forward in plotting a course on interest rates. that

manoeuvrability makes some sense, the med might be waiting to see if growth slows, or if unemployment goes up a bit, those might be some of the variables they look to as well when they make that big decision on whether they will cut interest rates.— interest rates. one to watch and kee us interest rates. one to watch and keep us busy. — interest rates. one to watch and keep us busy, erin _ interest rates. one to watch and keep us busy, erin as _ interest rates. one to watch and keep us busy, erin as always - interest rates. one to watch and i keep us busy, erin as always good interest rates. one to watch and - keep us busy, erin as always good to see you, live in new york. we will stay in the united kingdom. —— us. staying in the us, a jury in california has found that google unlawfully made its play store dominant over rival app stores. epic games — which owns popular video game fortnite — sued google in 2020, accusing it of a monopoly. google says it will challenge the outcome. let's talk now to dan ives, senior equity analyst at wedbush securities. he explained a bit of the background.— he explained a bit of the background. he explained a bit of the back round. , ., ., ., background. they are going to fight it rocky style- _ background. they are going to fight it rocky style. this _ background. they are going to fight it rocky style. this is _ background. they are going to fight it rocky style. this is what - background. they are going to fight it rocky style. this is what they - it rocky style. this is what they charge developer, in terms of

impact apple. they have won that court case, but i think it shows there is is a shot across the bow. i am looking at these number, android powering nearly 7 o 0% of all smartphone, 90% of apps are distributed through that play store, you can see the position they have and their dominance, is there any suggestion there are rival app store, are other players not getting on the platforms?— on the platforms? ultimately it is a- le and on the platforms? ultimately it is apple and google's _ on the platforms? ultimately it is apple and google's world. - on the platforms? ultimately it is i apple and google's world. everyone else is paying rent. even though this is a small win, it is not really changing the pow earthquake itjust, they will fight really changing the pow earthquake it just, they will fight this really changing the pow earthquake itjust, they will fight this in court but italy be this sort of tug—of—war we see for the next few years with developers especially with al and years with developers especially with aland other ai apps coming over the next few year, get out the popcorn moment. over the next few year, get out the popcorn moment. to india now, where it's boom time for the luxury market.

from premium cars to designer hand bags — they are all flying off the shelves. but this boom in the luxury market also coincides with flattening consumption across the broader population and worries of growing inequality in asia's third largest economy. from mumbai, here 5 nikhil inamdar. quick warning, his report includes some flashing images. india's richest man, mukesh ambani, launching the country's largest luxury shopping centre. the opening, featuring the red carpet, studded with bollywood's biggest stars. the shops and salons of marquee global brands occupy prime real estate here. luxury fashion houses like balenciaga have made their india debut with this store. it's not difficult to understand why these glitzy, ultra—premium shopping malls are springing up across the country. india is minting new millionaires. but it's notjust in retail

where the growing appetite for luxury is visible. sales of ultra—luxury homes have jumped fourfold this year. high—end smartphones are flying off the shelves. and luxury carmakers are having their best year ever. dr benidhar deshmukh fulfilled a lifelong dream last month when he splashed out on this $100,000 mercedes. translation: it's a big day for me. i came from a humble background. people look at you differently when you have a mercedes. this is the new aspirational india that's powering luxury car sales, as they grow at at least twice the pace of the broader market. the younger buyers are also more open to showing off their success, their wealth. there is clearly an aspirational boom in india right now.

but the luxury boom comes as consumer spending in india as a whole remains weak. while the rich are buying more than ever, the poor are cutting back. 60%, 70%, 80% of people are basically still at the fringes — if i may use the word — of their existence. most of the growth in india, as far as consumption is concerned, is largely led by the top 15%, 20% households which, in absolute terms, is still not a small number. that is still 40 to 50 million people. analysts forecast that this huge number of potential customers will take the luxury goods market to $100 billion in the next few years. and it couldn't come at a better time, as china, which has been the biggest driver of growth for the luxury market, has been losing steam. nikhil inamdar, bbc news, mumbai.

unilever is being investigated over its environmental claims over claims shoppers are being misled. it has been said they are overstating how green certain products are. unilever makes household names. they say it was surprised and disappointed with the announcement, and refuted its claims were in any way misleading. and the car ma maker renault said it will sell its shares in nissan, the first step in a plan to rebalance has been a troublesome partnership with the japanese car maker. the two car—makers are seeking to reach equal 15% shareholdings following a two—decade alliance that had become increasingly strained. those are your top business stories. you are watching bbc

you are a live with bbc news. the discussions have been triggered after a draft document made public on monday, caused outrage because it made no mention of phasing out fossil fuels. made no mention of phasing out fossilfuels. the bbc�*s environment correspondent is in dubai where delegates are waiting for that new text. .. . . delegates are waiting for that new text. ., , . . . delegates are waiting for that new text. . . . . ., text. people had a great deal of exoectation _ text. people had a great deal of expectation it _ text. people had a great deal of expectation it was _ text. people had a great deal of expectation it was going - text. people had a great deal of expectation it was going to - text. people had a great deal of i expectation it was going to clarify the position on fossil fuels and was going to show they were going to be phased out at some stage the century, with the more developing countries going slower and the richer ones going quicker, that was not the case, there was a great deal of shock around the conference here, and parties have been quickly getting on with the text now, putting new texts into the presidency to see if they can come up presidency to see if they can come up with a better draft, aer no improved draft which they expect to release later today. they are under

time pressure here, there is a big new conference coming in at the end of the week and delegates, some will have to leave soon. there a lot of pressure to get a new draft out that would contain more progressive elements and maybe perhaps some grounds for a compromise and agreement. and matt, tell me what he the mood is at the conference, at the moment? is there optimism that a deal will be struck? i is there optimism that a deal will be struck? .. �* is there optimism that a deal will be struck? ., �* .. ., be struck? i wouldn't call it omit much there. _ be struck? i wouldn't call it omit much there, is _ be struck? i wouldn't call it omit much there, is hope. _ be struck? i wouldn't call it omit much there, is hope. there - be struck? i wouldn't call it omit much there, is hope. there is i be struck? i wouldn't call it omit much there, is hope. there is al much there, is hope. there is a strong feeling among country like the european union and small island states who are angry about the reference to that, and they were talking out about walking out if there aren't no solid figures put in there aren't no solid figures put in the agreement. we will have to wait and see what they make of the new draft, but there is strong feelings it has to be an improvement on what happened yesterday. other country,

oil producing countries were probably quite happy with what came out yesterday. african country, poorer countries in asia and south america are looking at this cautiously, they are not totally signed up to the idea of phasing out fossilfuels signed up to the idea of phasing out fossil fuels because they think where is the money for us, how will we fund or transition to a greener economy if we don't have some money? so questions about finance as ever in this pose sums will be very important and helping countries to adapt to the impact of climate change, that is another big question, think all of those need to be resolved if they want to have a final strong agreement here. and final strong agreement here. and matt, a final strong agreement here. and matt. a coople — final strong agreement here. and matt, a couple of years ago i remember china and india holding out on some of the issues around coal as well. it does beg the question, what exactly can cop achieve, because it seems like every year now there are different countries holding out and not everyone is on the same page because there are balancing interests. absolutely, it is a complex mosaic, 200 countries trying to solve the

common problem at different speeds. i would say there has been a lot of progress made undoubtedly, eight years ago to the day, they signed the paris agreement. it mentioned emissions, it didn't mention fossil fuelser here we are discussing debating perhaps the end of fossil fuels in some countries in the next couple of decades, that is big progress. is what to you think the role of oil producing nations has been given it is hosted in dubai in the first place?— been given it is hosted in dubai in the first place? indeed. there has been scepticism _ the first place? indeed. there has been scepticism about _ the first place? indeed. there has been scepticism about the - the first place? indeed. there has been scepticism about the hosts l the first place? indeed. there has i been scepticism about the hosts and they have tried to awage that by showing they are committed to helping countries cope with the climate change and push for high ambition, how successful that will will be, at the moment, that is looking in doubt because the push back are from the producer, saudi arabia, kuwait and other, has won the day but there is still time to 90, the day but there is still time to go, there is still a new draft of text to be published and we will see

in, when that comes outjust where the parties sit and how it sits on the parties sit and how it sits on the future of the fossil fuels. more on that story on the bbc news website where we are running a the british museum has given an update on the theft of around 2000 objects from its collection — saying that the member of staff they believe was responsible is not cooperating with their attempts to get everything back. he's denied any wrongdoing. some of the artefacts were sold online for just a few pounds. the museum's chairman says they were the victim of an insidejob — and they are already implementing the recommendations with the details — here's zoe conway. they estimate 2,000 objects of have been either stolen or damages, within the museum's collection. what those objects include are roman gems, jewellery, small fragments of sculpture, and greek pottery. this has really thrown the british museum into a crisis. the biggest crisis arguably of its 270 year history

what this reveille has found, shockingly, is that the thief has behaved,is shockingly, is that the thief has behaved, is us suspected thief has behaved, is us suspected thief has behaved in a rather grubby fashion, what they suspect is that made may be only £100,000 from selling these objects on platforms like ebay, even though to people that know about these objects they will be considered priceless, ancient objects so it is a very sad day for the museum but the chair of the british museum george osborne says they are determined to learn the lessons from this and so what this review has done is to come up with a number of recommendations, and that really is about tightening the security of the collection, but also getting a much better understanding of what objects the museum holds properly cataloguing them. perhaps

one of the most shocking things that has merged is that most of the objects were not catalogued. now the museum has made some progress in recovering the objects of, 351 have been recovered by the museum and another 300 have been identified, but we still don't know exactly which objects are missing. you are watching bbc news. police forces in norfolk and sussex say campaigners in the uk have written to police asking them to investigate some of the thousands of deaths of patients with mental health issues in the norfolk and suffolk nhs trust. a report by independent auditors found as many as 8,440 patients had died unexpectedly over three years. the trust says it's started a review of patient deaths.

sophie hutchinson reports. for many years, there's been deep concern about the safety of mental health services across norfolk and suffolk. now, there are calls for the police to investigate why patients are dying. everything that they didn't do exacerbated his state. 21—year—old student theo brennan—hulme suffered from bouts of severe anxiety. his mother told me that the plan when he was in crisis was to call her, but the mental health services failed to do that and days after a short emergency appointment, he was found having taken his life in his university bedroom. the coroner at theo's inquest issued what's as a prevention of future death report, or pfd, highlighting concerns about the mental health services and warning of a risk that future deaths could occur if action wasn't taken. the lack of training, the lack of staffing, the lack of care was known about.

i know there were previous pfds before theo that suggested things needed to improve. but they couldn't have got any worse for theo, and that's abhorrent to the memory of all the people who went before him. a group of bereaved families, staff at the trust and patients has now asked police to investigate deaths where coroners have repeatedly flagged up risks, such as delays in treatment, lack of patient follow—ups and chaotic record—keeping. we think there's a criminal case to answer and we want the police to investigate. so we're asking them to look at all the deaths, but particularly the deaths that have occurred when the coroner has issued a prevention of future deaths certificate, or notice, and where the same mistakes have been repeated time and time again. serious questions remain about the deaths of mental health patients here. just six months ago, independent auditors came

to the conclusion that the norfolk and suffolk trust had simply lost track of those who'd died. in its report, it found that over the course of three years, more than 8,000 patients had died unexpectedly. it's very toxic within the trust. there are undertones of bullying and if you raise concerns about patient safety or even staff safety, you're not listened to. charlie, not his real name, is a nurse at the trust. he told me about severe staff shortages, that a youth team had lost eight members of staff in a month, and that one of the crisis teams was so short—staffed it no longer functioned at night. from your experience, do you think any of the deaths that you've been aware of have been preventable? i think a significant proportion of those deaths have been preventable. i think very simple measures could have been put into place to avoid these people dying. the trust has offered its severe condolences to families of people affected. it said "it's working hard to learn

from these incidents, to change the culture and is reviewing all the prevention of future deaths reports". sophie hutchinson, bbc news, norfolk. viewers in the uk can see details of organisations offering information and support with mental health, orfeelings of despair, on bbc.co.uk/actionline. scw some developing news coming in from israel, and the idf, the israel defense forces say they have recovered the bodies of two hostages, they have named them. i will read some of the statement that has just come into us. says during an operation in gaza the bodies of the two hostages were recovered by idf special forces and brought back to israel. after an identification

procedures carried out by military rabbis and medical professional, representatives informed the two families, who were taken hostage, by hamas on 7th october. and as i said there their bodies have been recovered and turned to israel. the statement goes on to say that eden who was 27 was taken from a music festival. ziv was taken hostage and fell while serving as a logistics supervisor in the golan brigade's sist supervisor in the golan brigade's 51st battalion and the statement says, he is recognised as a fallen soldier in captivity. the idf statement goes on to say it sends the families its heartfelt condolences and will continue to support them, so breaking news that has come in from the israel defense forces of, that two hostages have been found, the bodies of the hostages and they have been named.

we will of course have more on that story, as and when we get it, but now let us look at the weather with ben rich. there are some ups and downs in the weather story for the rest of the week. various changes on the horizon but in the short—term it this area of low pressure that dominates the scene, showers or indeed longer spells of rain in association with this, in fact a slow—moving band of rain affecting some eastern and south—east parts of scotland, into north east england, bringing the risk of some flooding impacts as that rain continues through the rest of the day and into tonight. elsewhere a scatter offing showers, particularly heavy ones with hail across southern counties of england and parts of wales, temperatures, as we head into the first part of the evening generally between six and nine degrees and through this evening an tonight that rain keeps on coming in the south—east of scotland and more especially north

east england, a lot of cloud generally in england and wales, bits and spies of showery rain, for northern ireland and scotland, the skies will tend to clear and this will allow it to get cold in places for maybe down to minus three in part of the highlands, milder where we keep cloud, but as we head into wednesday as this area of low pressure swings eastwards we change the wind direction, the winds started to come from the north or north east, and that will bring a cooler chillier feel for many. through the day on wednesday, a lot of cloud and outbreaks of rain across a good part of england, some brightness out west, the best of the brightness out west, the best of the brightness through the day in northern ireland and scotland, but generally a colder feel foe the weather, temperatures north to south. fourto weather, temperatures north to south. four to nine, weather, temperatures north to south. fourto nine, maybe weather, temperatures north to south. four to nine, maybe ten in the south—west, and the channel islands, through wednesday night, under this slice of clear sky it will get cold but we bring rain in from the west, snow over the high ground and that weakening rain band

stressed eastwards things turn milder again from the west, sunshine through thursday, just a few showers, particularly to the north—west of scotland and temperatures for some of us just starting to rise a little and that is a sign of things to come as we head towards the weekend. high pressure is set to build strongly to the south of the uk, frontal systems bringing some rain at times up towards the north, but broadly a south or south—westerly flow of air and that is going to bring a very mild feel to the weather for the time of year, double digit temperatures for most as we head into the weekend but there will often be a lot of cloud.
