11:03 pm
presidential election. # it's so sad it can wait...# the previously feuding gallagher brothers announce oasis is reforming, and will be touring next year. hello and welcome to the programme with me, frankie mcamley. sir keir starmer says the country must accept �*short—term pain for long term good' — and warned the budget in october would be �*painful�*. in a major speech in downing street, he said tough spending decisions would need to be made — and vowed to reverse what he called a "decade of decline" under the previous conservative government. the conservatives said the speech was an attempt to distract people from promises the government �*never had any intention of keeping'. here's a little of what
11:04 pm
sir keir had to say. i'll have to turn to the country and make big asks of you as well — to accept short—term pain for long—term good. the difficult trade—off for the genuine solution. and i know that after all that you have been through, i know it's a really big ask and really difficult to hear. that is not the position we should be in. it's not the position i want to be in, but we have to end the politics of the easy answer that solves nothing. let's speak to our political correspondentjoe pike — who's at westminster. a clear message from sir keir starmer there — trying to apportion blame on the tories — in advance of those difficult decisions that are coming... he certainly was. reminiscent of

11:06 pm
insurance but certainly speculations on capital gains and private pensions could something they could tack on. the conservatives have characterised this as an incoming tax rate, just like pensioners, they argue, working families are next in line for labour's tax hike so all eyes on that rachel reeves decision. a lot of speculation and questions but also this evening we have had pictures, mr sommer is in germany meaning olaf scholz, what's on the agenda there? an meaning olaf scholz, what's on the agenda there?— meaning olaf scholz, what's on the aaenda there? �* , agenda there? an interesting meeting seen at the brandenburg _ agenda there? an interesting meeting seen at the brandenburg gate - agenda there? an interesting meeting seen at the brandenburg gate with - seen at the brandenburg gate with ambassador meaning with olaf scholz tomorrow, the key line the number ten a briefing tonight is keir starmer will say, we must turn a corner on brexit and fix the broken relationships left behind by the last government. certainly, he what's to hear the change in relationships with germany and france that he will be visiting
11:07 pm
paris after this trip for the paralympics and to meet president macron. but they will also be told in berlin, the beginning of the negotiation for a new treaty between the uk and germany, a treaty we are told focuses on trade cooperation, military and security cooperation and also on migration cooperation. post—brexit seems to be a sir keir starmer attempt to improve relationship with germany some critics conservative critics of the prime minister say this could potentially be the worst of all worlds if the uk becomes with this person characterises as a shadow member of the eu. sir keir starmer meeting olaf scholz at least two big bosses of defence companies and going to paris for the paralympics in to and french businesses. jae in to and french businesses. joe pike in westminster with the details
11:08 pm
there and i'm sure we will follow those meetings are closely as they take place of the next few days. let's take a quick look through tomorrow's newspaper front pages. starting with the financial times which leads with starmer�*s spending plans with the prime minister's warning that the looming budget is "going to be painful". more starmer on the daily telegraph — the prime minister's "tax alert for middle england" leads their front page — together with a picture of angelina jolie who is at the venice film festival for a screening of her new film maria. the times has also highlighted the venice film festival but instead with a picture of the actress sigourney weaver known for her roles in alien and avatar. it also looks at starmer�*s upcoming meeting with olaf scholz on a new treaty to �*turn the corner on brexit�*. the gallaghers have taken centre stage of the metro — which looks at fan reaction to the confirmed oasis reunion — the "stars align the wait is over".
11:09 pm
that black and white photo is splashed across the papers tomorrow — here it is on the guardian's front page — with a lead story on starmer, and his quote that it's �*time for the uk to turn a corner on brexit�*. the oasis portrait is back on the independent — who lead with starmer�*s goal to �*turn a corner on brexit and fix relations with the eu'. there's not a gallagher to be seen on the daily mail — it claims the prime minister will "soak" the middle class with his budget, with the headline "starmer comes clean". and finally the daily express focuses on the impact of the budget on pensioners with the headline "yes! it will be painful for britain's elderly this winter." the israeli miltary has rescued a 52—year—old man who'd been held hostage by hamas in gaza since last october. kaid farhan al kadi,
11:10 pm
an arab israeli, had been working as a guard at a warehouse when he was abducted. he's now recovering in hospital and has been reunited with his family. here's our middle east correspondent lucy williamson. surrounded again by sunlight, by the sound of hebrew. farhan alkadi, a 52—year—old bedouin israeli, snatching a second chance at life. crouched on the floor of a military helicopter, after 326 days in captivity, a smile. the start of his journey back home. at israel's soroka hospital, his last few moments in hiding. a wall of israeli soldiers shielding him from the world he left ten months ago. from a tunnel in gaza to an israeli ambulance in a couple of hours. his family racing the last few
11:11 pm
metres to greet him. thin and pale but staff said in a good and stable condition. translation: it is difficult to explain how it feels. - it is better than having a newborn. we thank god and we thank everyone and hope to see him healthy. we're very happy, very happy. israel's prime minister called to welcome him home, keen to be part of his release. we cannot go into many details of this special operation but i can share that israeli commandos rescued qaid farhan alkadi from an underground tunnel following accurate intelligence. the army has described this as a complex operation based on precise intelligence but there are persistent reports here of a more nuanced story, even that farhan alkadi may have escaped his captors himself.
11:12 pm
tonight, a senior military official confirmed that troops had found him in a tunnel, alone. last week, israel brought back the bodies of six other hostages. the funeral of one, haim perry, was held in israel today. the joy of one family and the grief of another. a trickle of hostages returning as more than 100 others, and a ceasefire deal, remain stubbornly out of reach. lucy williamson, bbc news, soroka hospital, southern israel. prosecutors in the us have filed a revised indictment of donald trump on charges that he tried to overturn the 2020 us election after losing to joe biden. the new indictment retains the same four charges against trump but takes into account the recent supreme court ruling that a former president has broad immunity from criminal prosecution. carl nasmanjoins me
11:13 pm
live from washington — just talk us through the change and what it means for the former president? this is an attempt byjack smith and his team to recast this case, recalibrated in the wake of what you mentioned, that landmark supreme court case that said president such as donald trump are immune from their official acts in office. there are still for criminal counts here but some allegations have been removed. the original indictment was 45 pages. this is the new one, just 36 pages. what has been taken away? we are noticing some differences here. the allegations relate into donald trump ozment conversations, actions with hisjustice department, those are gone, those can be considered official acts doing so as a president with his own political teen and justice department. it's also interesting to see is that
11:14 pm
there's a new narrative, it's rewritten in the way jack smith is describing those criminal counts and what donald trump was allegedly up to. he talks about political and personal asked things like donald trump using his personal twitter account, for example. so moving away from the allegations that may be considered to be in violation of that supreme court ruling. we do have some reaction coming in from the former president from his team. this is via cbs news of our us news partner and they say donald trump and his team are not surprised by this but say it does not change our position and we believe the jack smith case is flawed and should be dismissed. of course we are getting close to the election. about 70 days orso close to the election. about 70 days or so to go. it's unlikely that this new refrain case will make it to court by the time voters go to the polls on november the 5th. interesting. let's look at his opposition now. it's also been announced by its president, harris and minnesota governor tim walz will
11:15 pm
be doing a sit down interview with cnn. it also harris bosman first in—depth interview with a journal since presidentjoe biden endorsed her and she is faced a lot of criticism for not taking part in big mainstream interviews. that criticism for not taking part in big mainstream interviews.— criticism for not taking part in big mainstream interviews. that has been a bi line of mainstream interviews. that has been a big line of attack _ mainstream interviews. that has been a big line of attack from _ mainstream interviews. that has been a big line of attack from donald - a big line of attack from donald trump and his campaign especially his running matejd vance. we get all of these reminders about how many days it's been since harris took over at the top of the ticket and has not given a big press conference or a big sit down interview. she has not been ignoring journalists. she is talk tojordan's briefly on the tarmac and at an airport, those shouted questions, she will answer back but we have not gotten in depth questions where can face the media as this may be the first chance of that on the campaign. remember, this is been absolutely spent up campaign for kamala harris and her running mate tim walz. it's only been about a0
11:16 pm
days since she has taken over so she is had to do the dnc, she's had to work through the policies, to get her campaign in orderand work through the policies, to get her campaign in order and off of the ground ina her campaign in order and off of the ground in a short amount of time. she would say, look, there has not been the time for me to spend while she's out campaigning doing all of these other things to sit down and do a lot of interviews. a lot will be interested in watching to see how she presents herself and what kind of case she makes for what kind of president she will be. we know she is the vice president for what may she be up to if she does win in november and when she could be in the oval office all on her own. i’m the oval office all on her own. i'm sure a lot — the oval office all on her own. i'm sure a lot of _ the oval office all on her own. i'm sure a lot of people will tune in and listen to what she has to say with that interview. carl nasman with that interview. carl nasman with that interview. carl nasman with that update. two men have been charged with murdering a mother and her three children at their home in bradford. bryonie gawith, who was 29, dinisty birtle, who was nine, oscar birtle, aged five, and aubree birtle, who was 22 months old died in a fire at their home last week.
11:17 pm
mohammed shabir and calum sunderland have both been charged with four counts of murder and one count of attempt murder and will appear in court tomorrow. the housing secretary, angela rayner, has described the damage to an east london tower block that was engulfed by a fire — as "horrific". two people were taken to hospital following the fire at the building in dagenham, which had known safety issues. an investigation into the cause is under way. all social workers should have mandatory training in how to spot coercive and controlling behaviour — says the domestic abuse commissioner for england and wales. nicole jacobs comments came after she was shown evidence from a bbc investigation that discovered many social work students don't always receive specific social work training on how to detect this kind of abuse.
11:18 pm
social workers usually become involved when a case includes a child. controlling perpetrators use psychological abuse to isolate and harm their victims. it's been a crime since 2015, and there were nearly aa,000 offences recorded last year. anna collinson has this report. it's like you're living with bated breath. psychological control intensifies over time. he started imposing various rules on me. break the rules and there are consequences. what he would do is lock me out of my own house till he'd decided that i'd been punished enough. at times it would be raining or freezing cold in the middle of winter. we're protecting this woman from her abusive ex—partner. we're calling her lisa. he would explode with violence once or twice a year. after eventually reporting this to police, social workers were brought in, because they had a child together. lisa left her partner, but the coercive control continued.
11:19 pm
he was saying that i was the abuser and that he was the victim. she says children's services failed to see through his lies. how would you describe the support you received from social workers? i haven't received support from social workers. one in four women are subject to domestic abuse at some point during their lifetime. it's a massive challenge, detecting a controlling abuser. it is psychological violence. a challenge many social workers face every day. if we don't understand coercion and control, then we don't understand domestic abuse. if we don't understand domestic abuse, people will be at risk of being killed. but the bbc has found that, too often, social workers don't get this. it's about thinking outside the box. what else can we do, as part of that safety planning? specialist training, like here in birmingham. when social workers are not given that training, you're actually disempowering social workers. at a time when they need to protect
11:20 pm
children from abuse in their house. the regulator expects university social work courses to teach skills to detect coercive control, but our investigation has found more than a third don't. as for those that do, the training can be as long as 20 hours or as short as one hour. ijust find it baffling. we shared our findings with the domestic abuse commissioner for england and wales. is it acceptable that, nearly a decade after coercive controlling behaviour has become a crime, there are social workers out there who don't understand what it is? training for social workers should be mandatory. there's so many reasons why we have to get this right from the start, at the start, not learning on thejob. and that's so important for victims and survivors. the regulator, social work england, say they inspect university courses to meet professional standards for safe practice. these injustices cannotjust be allowed to carry on indefinitely. this coercive control expert
11:21 pm
is helping lisa now. there's nothing left of my life that gives me any hope for the future. she needed help at the time from social workers who she says misunderstood her abuse, and now her relationship with her child has been severely damaged. i'm so sorry that you've been through this and that you're still going through it. anna collinson, bbc news. if you've been affected by the issues raised in anna's report, or you want to find more information about what coercive control is — there is information and support via the bbc�*s action line — at bbc.co.uk/actionline, or you can call for free. more than 3,500 current and former workers at the retailer next have won a six—year legal battle for equal pay. an employment tribunal said that shop staff, most of whom are women, shouldn't be paid less than warehouse employees, who are predominently male.
11:22 pm
next says it will appeal the ruling. this time tomorrow, the paralympics will be officially under way, after the opening ceremony in paris. it's 11 days of elite competition across 22 sports involving more than a,000 athletes representing 128 nations. our sports correspondent andy swiss reports from paris. go! ready for the final push. britain's paralympians aiming for glory in paris. whatever their sport, success is in their sights. well, that was nice. it all starts with tomorrow's opening ceremony, where wheelchair tennis player lucy shuker and wheelchair basketball�*s terry bywater will carry the flag. bywater�*s now at his seventh games, but this means more than anything. i was...i was emotional, i'm not going to lie. i cried when i had my team—mates coming up to me and giving me huge
11:23 pm
cuddles with tears in their eyes. yeah, it was just such an emotionalfeeling, finding out that i'm going to be carrying my nation's flag in the biggest sporting event in the world. to be a paralympian is one thing. to be a five—time paralympian and then be a flag—bearer, it'sjust insane. but their team has a tough act to follow. three years ago in tokyo, britain won some 12a medals and finished second in the table. so what can they do here in paris? well, their target is 100 to 1a0 medals and a top—five finish in the table. it won't be easy, but there's certainly no shortage of potential. bly twomey is just 1a. she was spotted by world champion will bayley when he returned home after the last games. the pair started training together and now twomey is also in the team, and her schoolmates will certainly be watching. come on, then. they're going to set up a television
11:24 pm
and everyone's going to be watching instead of doing work. really? literally all of my family are going to come and watch me play, and i think it'sjust going to be amazing. others, though, are slightly further along theirjourney. britain's most decorated paralympian, dame sarah storey, hoping to add to her 17 gold medals, some 32 years after her first games. i feel really fortunate to still be contending and hopefully it inspires other people to realise that you don't have to worry about age. sometimes you canjust try and follow a dream you didn't know you had. keely hodgkinson gets the gold! and so, after the success for britain's olympians here, now it's the paralympians' turn, as they hope to bring this summer of sport to the perfect ending. andy swiss, bbc news, paris.
11:25 pm
good luck to them. after years of bad blood and barbed comments, one of music's biggest feuds appears to be over — with the announcement that noel and liam gallagher are re—forming oasis for a series of uk and european concerts next year — the first time they'll have played together in public since 2009. tickets go on sale on saturday in what's expected to be a multi—million pound pay day for the brothers. colin patterson reports from manchester — and a warning his report contains some flash photography. me and him were, like, telepathic, you know what i mean? i know my brother better than anybody else. this is how oasis announced they were back, the brothers finally confirming a series of huge shows next summer. always famous for their feuding... we don't like each other, man. he's swinging this guitar around and he kind of... you know, he nearly took my face off with it. ..today�*s news might help explain why noel gallagher had recently been so complimentary about liam. if songs were drinks, right,
11:26 pm
liam's is a shot of tequila, right? and mine's half a guinness. # maybe i don't really wanna know... it's exactly 30 years this week since the release of their debut album, definitely maybe. oasis are being hyped as the best band around at the moment... when they were interviewed by zoe ball, who wore an extraordinary cap. you are being hyped as the best band around at the moment. is all the hype true? yeah. it is? yeah, we're the best band about today, on the planet. it's a fact. and, despite splitting up 15 years ago, there a strong argument that they remained the biggest band in britain. not surprisingly, in manchester's northern quarter, it wasn't hard to find people with opinions on the reunion. when did they make up? how has this happened? what's your theory? oh, a money grab. you can't say that!
11:27 pm
i can, it's too late, sorry. people are already reserving parking spaces, apparently. and hotels are at £800 already. everyone's over the moon, aren't they? fingers crossed they don't fall out again, you know what i mean? in two minutes. you know what i mean? you know what they're like, don't you? eh? and, across the city, there was much excitement at the microdot gallery, a stop on the oasis walking tour. we're very lucky to have the original fireplace from the front cover of definitely maybe. if this can be the catalyst to give people a bit of happiness, you know, who better to drag us out of the doldrums than liam and noel, at the end of the day? this is a posterfor oasis's famous shows at knebworth, and have a look at the ticket price. £22.50. it's going to be rather more than that when they go on sale on saturday. # it's a crazy situation... the band have said they will not be playing glastonbury, there is no word on any new music and no confirmation on which other members of oasis will return. thanks to those rows, there are plenty of them to choose from. colin paterson, bbc
11:28 pm
news, manchester. time for the weather now with tomasz. hello. the weather's looking fairly promising for most of us on wednesday, with some prolonged spells of sunshine, but it won't be dry everywhere. in fact, farfrom it. we are expecting a few showers and in the morning across 1 or 2 areas it actually could be pretty wet. let me show you the big picture. here's the forecast for wednesday. a couple of weather fronts bringing showers into northern ireland and western scotland, and this one here also in the north of england, wales and stretching to south—western areas. but whether you've got the sunshine or the rain in the morning, it's actually going to be quite warm first thing — 17 in london, about 15 around merseyside and similar values there for glasgow and edinburgh. so showers reaching northern ireland and western scotland. and here's that weather front stretching from northern england through the lakes, into lancashire, wales.
11:29 pm
maybe the west midlands, could be some spits and spots further south, too. so for a time some of us will catch some rain here, showers there moving into scotland. and big temperature contrasts on wednesday. eastern england, east anglia and the south—east, mid—high 20s. out towards the west, it's a lot fresher temperatures of around 18 in belfast and for glasgow. now this is fresher air that's arriving off the atlantic. in fact, the fresher air will spread right across the country during the course of thursday. so no longer is it going to be so warm in the east and the south—east. temperatures here will be closer to say, around 22 or 3 celsius out in the west around 18 degrees, with that atlantic breeze coming in. just a few showers for scotland. here's a look at the end of the week. high pressure is building off the atlantic. this azores high. showers are kept at bay across france, far away. so it's a day of light winds and sunny spells.
11:30 pm
really a very pleasant day. and for some of us, a perfect summer's day. neither too hot and not particularly cool either. and the temperatures will be around the high teens across western areas, maybe nudging up to 2a in london for the end of the week. so that's friday. how about the weekend? well, the high pressure is still with us weather fronts are trying to push in, but it's a substantial high so it's keeping things dry. maybe the weather going downhill a little bit with a few showers towards the south and towards the west as we head into next week. so here's the outlook, then. friday and the weekend looking pretty decent for many of us, with spells of sunshine looking quite warm too. and then into september, it does look as though we could catch 1 or 2 showers. that's it for me. bye— bye. that's it from me this evening. now on bbc news, it's hardtalk.
