today at five, the bank of england cuts its growth forecast for this year and the next, and leaves interest rates unchanged. the governor mark carney, says uncertainty over brexit is weighing heavily on businesses and affecting households. as the consequences of sterling's fall have shown up in the shops and squeezed their real incomes, they cutback on spending, slowing the economy. we will be talking to the chief economist of the cbi. is she as gloomy as the bank of england about the prospects for growth? the other main stories on bbc news at five. it has been revealed some mental health patients are spending years stranded in acute units awaiting discharge, even when they are medically fit to leave. a breast surgeon who intentionally wounded several patients has had his 15—yearjail term, increased to 20. the actor robert hardy, star of all creatures great and small and the harry potter films, has died. he was 91. england's lionesses prepare to do battle against hosts the netherlands, in their euro 2017 football semifinal. nice work if you can get it!

footballing superstar neymar will earn £500,000 a week, if his deal tojoin paris st germain from barcelona, goes through. and former world heavyweight boxing champion vladimir klitschko has announced his retirement, so there will be no rematch with britain's anthonyjoshua. our top story is that the bank of england has downgraded the uk's growth forecast for this year and the next, warning that the economy will remain "sluggish". mark carney says uncertainty over brexit is causing concern for businesses and the bank has also downgraded its forecast for wage growth. the perceived fragility of the economy means interest rates

have been left unchanged at 0.25%. 0ur correspondent simon gompertz reports. for more than eight years, the guardian of our financial system, the bank of england, has been trying to spur on the economy by keeping interest rates at record lows and providing banks with cheap money to lend out. one day, that will have to end — but this is not that day. the anxious wait in financial markets for the monthly 12pm announcement from the bank. its base interest rate, which influences how the rates we pay move, to stay down at 0.25%. two out of eight on its rate—setting committee voted for a rise, fewer than last time. low interest rates are designed to keep people confident, spending and borrowing, but we know the bank is now worried about that level of borrowing, it wants to moderate it and cool it slightly, so so far they have had strong words and warnings, but they haven't raised interest rates to try and halt

the household in its steps. what the bank of england is watching out for when it decides how to raise interest rates is whether there is a shopping spree, whether borrowing is taking off, whether wages are increasing fast. so far, it's not now, not yet. what we do have are new forecasts from the bank on how the economy is likely to develop from here. and the bank's less optimistic. in its previous forecast in may, it said total uk production would grow this year by 1.9%. that has been revised down to 1.7%. the rate at which prices are rising, inflation, it sees as peaking at 3% in october, before falling to 2.6% in a year. today's inflation report is sifted through for signs of how the governor, mark carney, and his team think we are doing in the wake of the financial crisis and with the uncertainties of

brexit hanging over the economy. financial markets, particularly sterling, marked down the uk's relative prospects quickly and sharply. households looked through brexit related uncertainties initially but, more recently, as the consequences of the fall in sterling have shown up in the shops and squeezed real incomes, they have cut back on spending, slowing the economy. there are no clear answers. will be uk be in good enough shape to withstand a rise in interest rates from the bank in a few months or next year? some say that's what we have to be ready for. in truth, nobody knows. joining me from our studio in oxford is rain newton—smith, chief economist at the confederation of british industry. good afternoon. thank you for joining me. we hearfrom mark

carney. he seems to put this down to the fall in the value of the parent and he puts that going to brexit. would you agree? i think this is very much linked into inflation. i think we can put that down to weaker stirling. it is affecting businesses and leading to higher places across the high street. we see higher inflation at the moment. at the same time, we each growth is not picking up time, we each growth is not picking up in line with that inflation. it is tougherfor up in line with that inflation. it is tougher for households. is the point about falling stirling also

mean that exports are cheaper and that in turn will actually help the economy? yes, the governor was also very clear to me that point. manufacturers are feeling more competitive and exporters rose to the highest level for 20 years. net trade will be contributing to our growth in the years to come and that is very important. but one of the other points at the governor was trying to make was our potential growth over the long term, the no view that to be weaker. potential growth, the trend rate is less than 296. growth, the trend rate is less than 2%. one of the reasons why they have a view on potential growth is because we will see weaker

investment going forward. he talked the impact, particularly with regard to the exit. the exit from the european union. as far as the governor is concerned, it is brexit fierce which are kicking in, even though in the future that could be an upside to that? i think in the short term, it is affecting investment in business. business investment in business. business investment is still expected to grow over the next couple of years, but it is just over the next couple of years, but it isjust a over the next couple of years, but it is just a bit weaker than it would have been otherwise. for our surveys , would have been otherwise. for our surveys, around 40% of businesses are seeing investment affected negatively by brexit and the bank of england revealed to the decision maker, when the consultant businesses, they had had a similar

impact. what our long—term relationship with the european union still has to be determined. it is important we have a good deal with oui’ important we have a good deal with our major partners in europe and we also look to markets outside europe and see what other arrangements we can secure. that is what will help drive growth in the long term, but what we need now is certainty about progress on those negotiations that will we will have a transitional arrangement. that will make it easy for businesses to invest notes and keep thejobs we for businesses to invest notes and keep the jobs we need to see note and in the future. thank you very much forjoining me. 0ne one of the country seniorjudge says we will have blood on our hands of a suicidal girl was released from custody. without adequate supervision.

sirjames munby says he had to speak truth to power about the case of the vulnerable 17—year—old, identified only as ""x. this is what sirjames said. it is "a disgrace to any country with pretensions to civilisation, compassion and, dare one say it, basic human decency," that a judge in 2017 should be faced with the problems thrown up by this case and should have to express himself in such terms. he went on to warn that, when the girl is released in 11 days time, if the state does not provide the necessary support and she's enabled to make another attempt on her life, "then i can only say, with bleak emphasis, we will have blood on our hands." with me now is our home affairs correspondent danny shaw. fairly blunt speech. a pretty savage indictment of the mental health facilities in the united kingdom. thisjudge, sirjames munby, is renowned for his forthright views. he has used strong language before, but i don't think i've ever seen a judgment like this that is so clearly expressed. the exasperation, the desperation, the frustration — he clearly feels powerless to do anything to prevent this girl

from leaving custody in the middle of this month, going back into the community without adequate care and within 24—48 hours he has been told by experts the likelihood is she will attempt to take her own life again. experts have said she needs to go to a clinical setting. she has a range of mental health disorders and his violent to the staff. although she wa nted violent to the staff. although she wanted to be with her mother, it is agreed that she needs looking after 412-18 agreed that she needs looking after 412—18 months. one unit has been identified as appropriate, but there isa identified as appropriate, but there is a six—month waiting list. identified as appropriate, but there is a six-month waiting list. there was just a management reality that there was going to be a major new investment in mental health, training more staff and increasing facilities around the country. clearly, that is too late for a case like this on the type of problem

often faced. it may well be that the publicity around the case and the factorjudge has spoken out in such clear terms & copies of the ruling to various secretaries of state may galvanise the authorities take action. he is making every effort can to find an appropriate setting. the future is still very weak. doctors say if she is released back into the community and that is no appropriate plan for her, the that within a couple of days, she will kill herself. that is what the are seeing. that is why the judges think we will have blood on our hands u nless we we will have blood on our hands unless we can find the correct key package for her. some mental health patients across the uk, are having to spend years stranded in acute units awaiting discharge. a bbc freedom of information request, has revealed that many have waited more than three years to be

released from hospital, even though they're medically fit. nhs england says it is investing in providing alternatives to hospital admissions. 0ur social affairs correspondent, michael buchanan, reports. i enjoy doing collages... toni adeniyi likes art and music. but she loves her new home. she proudly shows me around a supported accommodation complex that she shares with five others. the 32—year—old, who suffers from a personality disorder and schizophrenia, has spent almost half her life in psychiatric hospitals. i think we could do with some more pictures on the wall. but she moved in here last year, months later than she should have done, due to arguments between health and social care agencies over who should pay for her room. i used to see other people leaving before me and i'd be like, "yeah, but i've been ready a long time and i'm more equipped", but they seem to get out quicker. many psychiatric patients will recognise toni's experience. we have discovered that at least five patients waited more than three years to be discharged.

nearly 100 waited more than a year. more than 200 spent six months longer in hospital than they needed to. the complex where toni lives is provided by a national charity, who say there simply aren't enough similar units for mental health patients. often people are in a revolving door of hospital placement and then a failed community placement, because that step is just too significant. so by providing a very comprehensive, quite intensive package of support, we hope to be able to break that cycle. delayed discharges are a problem across the nhs. but this research shows mental health patients are suffering excessive waits. spending longer than necessary in one of these units can slow a patient‘s recovery and prevent others from getting a bed. this psychiatrist, who often struggles to move her patients from hospital, says investing in community services is crucial. not all admissions can be avoided

or should be avoided. but certainly there are a number when you have really good community service crisis resolution that will not need to go into hospital. and obviously, most people, for the most part, would wish to stay in their homes. toni says she will soon move from here into a small bungalow in the complex. a further step in rebuilding her life. nhs england say they are increasingly providing alternatives to hospital admissions, but too many patients are still spending too long in psychiatric units. michael buchanan, bbc news. some of the other stories making bbc news at five. british airways cabin crew have extended their long—running strike over pay by two weeks, until the end of the august bank holiday. members of the unite union have already taken 60 days of strike action. a benefits cheat who said he couldn't walk more than 50 metres, but climbed mount kilimanjaro

the two people that had had that before had both finished up having mastectomies. i did not need to question hisjudgment mastectomies. i did not need to question his judgment at the time. i do not think to do that. u nfortu nately, do not think to do that. unfortunately, i was taken in by his lies. he said to stop the disease from spreading, i would have to have the double vasectomy. but after several operations, i was told that the operations were not necessary andi the operations were not necessary and i never had the disease in the first place. how did you feel about that? i was devastated. how did you find out that this was all unnecessary? i was recalled to the private hospital where they had the surgery private hospital where they had the surgery done. i was told by a doctor there that they had reviewed the

case and looked at all the tests and all the evidence and none of it was necessary , all the evidence and none of it was necessary, not even the smaller operations that happened initially. you went through a living hell at the hands of this man. is 20 years enough for him? no, he should of got a life sentence. it is what he deserves. we have got to live with this for the rest of our moral waves. my personal feeling this for the rest of our moral waves. my personalfeeling is this for the rest of our moral waves. my personal feeling is that he should get what we have got, a life sentence. but the fact it has been increased as good. thank you very much forjoining me. you are obviously pleased that this man has been sentenced to a few more years in prison. absolutely. thank you.

the cladding on more than 200 buildings in england has now failed fire safety tests, implemented in the wake of the grenfell tower fire. in the second round of large—scale tests ordered by the government, more than 100 high—rise blocks failed to meet current regulations. our home affairs correspondent tom symondsjoins me now. any surprise at the figures?” any surprise at the figures? i think the surprises then re—enter which these tests have been sealed. they are effectively building up a replica of grenfell tower. they are setting fire to it and the test is supposed to last around a0 minutes. they are having to stop the test within eight minutes because the ten the fire is simply getting too big.

that means the stuff is not being successful and is not cease to be put on buildings. the government also say that, rather, the experts say, he can find no trace so far of this test ever having been carried out on the same cladding use that g re nfell tower out on the same cladding use that grenfell tower in the past. but the building regulations say that if you wa nt to building regulations say that if you want to use this, you have to have had it tested in the past. no one can find had it tested in the past. no one canfind any had it tested in the past. no one can find any existence of any test results. i asked sir kenneth on the basis of and the tragedy itself whether he felt that fire safety professionals had field? whether he felt that fire safety professionals had field ?|j whether he felt that fire safety professionals had field? i think we have all field, in the sense that people have lost their lives so tragically dramatically. that is why then is an absolute focus i mean,

because fire safety and protection, is that we have no recognised what needs to be done. in so many ways, including listening to the public and the public enquiry. these public enquiries and reviews are about to get going. the chairman finishes his consultation tomorrow, after talking with residents about the terms of reference. but that is already another government review of building regulations. sir kenneth did seem to suggest that he felt significant changes were very likely. residents of a tower block in north london says that work carried out in the week of grenfell

and that i can do it. i don't think anyone should have external influences on how their education should turn out. i think everyone should have an equal chance. it should be fair. i don't think anyone should be left behind, for whatever reason. today's report works out that for some disadvantaged kids, the attainment gap has closed slightly over the last ten years. but when it comes to the very poorest children, it's a different picture. at the end of primary school they are on average over one year behind. but by the time they take their gcses, that gap has widened to nearly two years. that figure is slightly worse than a decade ago. and there are huge regional variations. the attainment gap is generally smaller in london, but larger in areas like the east midlands and the north. we can speculate that funding would be a factor in certain parts of the country. we know that aspirations are quite important, and cultural

expectations as well. so i think all of these things, and more, will be having an influence. disadvantaged children are more likely to earn less in future and suffer bad health. put simply, it leads to wasted potential. as a head teacher, it's really disappointing to read this report and see how little progress has been made. if we had the right funding, the right support for children and their families, it would make such a difference. the department of education says that through the pupil premium there is an injection of over £2 billion this year for disadvantaged pupils, as well as money to help young people in so—called social mobility cold spots. of course, the task of making sure that every pupil reaches their full potential is a complicated science. but worryingly, today's report says that if the current rate of change continues, it will take a staggering 50 years

before the gap is closed. jessica parker, bbc news. we're used to eye—watering amounts of money in football, but it's about to hit new levels, when the brazilian star neymar, completes his move from barcelona to paris st germain, for what's expected to be a world record transfer fee. the qatari—backed side are ready to pay the £198 million fee, which would trigger the buyout clause in his contract. the figure dwarfs the current record fee of £89 million, that manchester united paid juventus for paul pogba. as a result, neymar will also become the world's highest paid player, earning around £a0 million a year.

after tax that would see him netting half a million pounds a week. all in all, if neymar signs a five year deal, this one player is going to cost paris st germain around four hundred million pounds. with me in the studio is the football agent, sky andrew. and joining me down the line from salford is the football finance specialist, kieran maguire, from the university of liverpool. gentlemen, good to see you. staggering figures. arsene wenger said, once a country owns a club everything is possible, it's hard to respond to financial fair play. it's a consequence of the ownerships that have changed the landscape com pletely have changed the landscape completely over the last 15 years. if you have a national treasury bankrolling a club you will get these ridiculous amounts. everything is about timing. neymar is one of the best players in the world. under normal circumstances a super team would not sell to another team. but he clause of £200 million. its incredible really. it is positive for qatar because they are making a statement and people will stop

talking about qatar and psg in a positive manner and the focus is on them. but my people will start talking about them. it's good for barcelona because they will receive what most people consider an astronomical amount, for player. no other team is capable of doing this. not even the big uk teams can spend that amount on a player. everyone will ask about financial fair play but what it is is that qatar are involved with psg. they have been involved with psg. they have been involved with psg. they have been involved with barcelona so they are going to make this work. ok. kieran, financialfair going to make this work. ok. kieran, financial fair play rules by uefa, i think, correct me on this, i think they are essentially mean that a tea m they are essentially mean that a team does not spend more than it ta kes team does not spend more than it takes in in revenue budget carfound that it can have an extra 30 or a0 million euros on top of that. we're talking about a deal that could end up talking about a deal that could end up costing psg £a00 million. how

does that deal with financial fair play. liverpool from the point of view of psg what they hope will happen is that they will be able to negotiate deals with commercial sponsors to bring in extra revenue to meet the costs of employing neymar and also funding his contract. if you look at him as a product, he has 170 million followers on social media in the form of instagram, twitter and facebook. that's more than manchester united row or real madrid. so as an individual brand he's worth a lot of money. so what psg will want to do is get as big a share of the image rights from this contract as possible which will allow them to off—site against the costs of his employment. —— offset it. but isn't it likely that ticket prices for instance in paris might have to go up to cover this?”

prices for instance in paris might have to go up to cover this? i don't think that's likely at all. because we've probably reached a top ranking as faras we've probably reached a top ranking as far as ticket prices are concerned. the clubs know that individual fans can't afford to pay more. so what they will be looking to do from a psg point of view is, they might increase the amounts they charged to the corporate sponsors at matches and remember their parisien stadium was upgraded last year so they've got more scope to sell more boxes. they can certainly increase money coming in from commercial activities but i don't think the fans will pay more because they've earned enough. sky, he's not ronaldo, he's not lionel messi, is not sergio aguero from might be

livid manchester city! is he worth it. everything is about demand and supply and timing. there are very few great players around the moment and you have to put him that category. there was a window of opportunity for a team like psg to acquire the services of one of the best players in the world, they couldn't have got lionel messi or ronaldo sees an express thing. people will question if it makes business sense. how many people will turn up to see him play that supporters, you won't recoup 330 million pounds or whatever so it's the flexing of muscles by qatar to say we have acquired one of the best players in the world for the champions league and you don't see that very often. as sky said, this

puts us positive spin on their situation, but i want to go back to what arsene wenger said. once a country owns a club everything is possible. it's the equivalent of having the chancellor of the exchequer running manchester united. it's crazy. it's not crazy because from the point of view of qatar, this is a political transfer as much asa this is a political transfer as much as a football transfer and the qatari government has decided one way that they can ensure that the world is aware that they are standing up to saudi arabia and the united arab emirates and other states with whom they are in dispute is to simply write a cheque for £200 million now and effectively write off the same amount of money over the next five years. if you see it asa the next five years. if you see it as a political statement you can see the logic behind it. remember that

qatar is spending £400 million a week preparing for an extra cup. this seems a huge sum of money for a one—off transfer but from the overall qatar budget, it is immaterial. it's the richest country on earth. thank you both forjoining us. the top stories this afternoon. the bank of england cuts its growth forecasts and warns that uncertainty over brexit is weighing on businesses and households. thejudge has the judge has condemned the state of mental health support for young people saying the state could have blood on its hands over the case of a suicidal teenager. and the actor robert hardy, famous for the tv series all creatures great and small and starring in the harry potter series, has died aged 91. an update on the market numbers for you — here's how london's and frankfurt ended the day. the ftse is up better than yesterday. and a mixed bag in the

united states. ina in a statement to the family of the actor robert hardy said he had lived actor robert hardy said he had lived a tremendous life with a career spanning 70 years. he was best known for playing siegfried farnon in the bbc series all creatures great and small, and the ministerfor magic, cornelius fudge, in the harry potter films. 0ur entertainment correspondent, lizo mzimba is here. i remember him as siegfried, i grew up i remember him as siegfried, i grew up with him on all creatures great and small, he was fabulous in that. he was loved by so many people and now he's gone. to each generation he will mean something different. you grew up watching him on all creatures great and small, some will

remember him on the stage in the 19505 remember him on the stage in the 1950s and some will remember him as the ruthless business man in the troubleshooters, the younger generation will remember him as cornelius fudge. he was a great british character actor who could melt himself into almost any kind of part, whether the kindly avuncular siegfried farnon, the blustery minister for magic siegfried farnon, the blustery ministerfor magic or siegfried farnon, the blustery minister for magic or someone more ruthless, the great stage actor as well. it is no underestimation to say he is a great of theatre, film and television. a really sad loss. wonderful range as an actor. slightly irascible. he himself admitted it. he said in interviews, the phrase that people often use too much is "doesn't suffer fools gladly". yet on screen he was a true great. he was once described as doing for british tv what alec

guinness did forfilm. doing for british tv what alec guinness did for film. that was the impact. he worked with amazing people, friends with richard burton, laurence olivier, i was lucky enough to be on the set of one of the harry potter movies while he was there and it was wonderful seeing how the other actors and the crew treated him with great reverence. this was a series that attracted the biggest names in the film that you could think of. yet still they seemed to be thinking, it was robert hardy, wow! my favourite role of his is not that well known, a sitcom series called hot metal about the tabloids, written by david renwick who wrote jonathan creek and one foot in the grave. sentence case he played the proprietor and the owner of the newspaper, the joke being proprietor and the owner of the newspaper, thejoke being that the proprietor wanted someone to run it

was so much like himself that he cast someone exactly like himself. he could do heavy drama, 0f cast someone exactly like himself. he could do heavy drama, of course winston churchill is such a difficult role because everyone knows what he looks like and he sounded like. to get someone playing him again and again and he won a bafta award for it, getting someone where you are not thinking, that is someone impersonating him, someone who embodies his personality, strength and 0utlook, that's the mark of a great actor and robert hardy could do that, the gentle roles in things like all creatures great and small, broad comedy, a truly wonderful actor, a great british character actor. for well 0ver half a century. that is a career to be proud of. people will be looking back on it fondly today. indeed, what his family will be saying today. i remember him in

u psta i rs saying today. i remember him in upstairs downstairs, i'm showing my age now. robert hardy, who has died aged 91. italian naval ships are being deployed in libya's territorial waters to try to stop migrants crossing the mediterranean to the southern coast of italy. the italian government have also imposed new rules on charities which have been helping rescue thousands of people trying to make the dangerous crossing in flimsy boats. richard galpin reports. the italian navy used to play a key role rescuing those caught in stormy seas. but now its mission is to enter libyan territorial waters to help the libyan coastguard spot migrant boats as they set sail, and stop them going any further. the abrupt change of mission was given the go—ahead by the italian parliament. most politicians clearly wanting an end to the crisis. the goal of the italian government is to stem the flow, bring it close to zero and basically tweak the turkey deal and adapt it to

the situation in libya but get the same result, which is to bring a flow which is in the hundreds of thousands, to close to zero. almost 100,000 migrants have reached italy so far this year. other eu countries were supposed to have taken many of them. but it has not happened. so large numbers are applying for asylum here, putting the government under pressure with elections looming next year. now the italian navy's sophisticated radar will enable the libyan coastguard to stop many migrant boats before they leave libyan territorial waters. and send them back to libya. that is sparking alarm amongst human rights organisations. there is no system to claim asylum. there is automatic detention of irregular migrants in centres where people are systematically abused, and it is completely on clear how the italian

government think that these people would be protected after they are disembarked in libya with the key assistance of the italian government. italy is also imposing restrictions on boats used by charities to rescued migrants. it is feared fewer ships will now be in the key areas to save lives. i and already this year charities that have refused to accept the new conditions have been warned by the government they could be stopped from operating altogether. richard galpin, bbc news. one of the most seniorjudges

in britain has warned that society will have 'blood on its hands‘ if a 17—year—old girl, who has tried to kill herself a number of times, is released from custody without adequate supervision. sirjames munby, said there was a 'disgraceful and utterly shaming' lack of support services for young people with mental health problems. nhs england says every effort will be made to find the most appropriate care setting for the teenager. we can speak now to simon rowbotham, the solicitor for the legal guardian of the teenage girl. you have 11 days to find careful this person, will you be able to do it? blow. the judge this person, will you be able to do it? blow. thejudge has said this person, will you be able to do it? blow. the judge has said this is shameful and disgraceful, how long

have you been willing to this moment to find somewhere for this young girl? i would recommend anyone reading all the judgments in this case in full because it is a long and very sad story. the search for a secure bed is relatively recent in that chronology but it has been a number of months now. and if this girl cannot be housed, she will kill herself? we don't know how to treat her or help her at the moment, she expresses the wish to kill herself, her care consists of

measures to stop doing it. there is almost nothing in the room, no ligature, she is restrained for hours, her life is not really living, it is more of an existence. clearly a difficult time for the guardian because they are responsible for her care. that is not quite right. the role of the guardian is to express her view of what is in the best interest of the child. the child is in the care of the local authority. the resources to meet her needs are

not there, they are not social care resources , not there, they are not social care resources, they are health. thank you forjoining us and giving is more perspective on an incredibly disturbing case. time to have a look at the weather. no pressure in control, it has led toa no pressure in control, it has led to a windy day across southern counties in particular, in scotland the winds have been lighter, we've seen some the winds have been lighter, we've seen some hefty downpours here. lovely picture from a viewers in kent, and across scotland this picture from one viewer shows nimbus clouds developing across aberdeenshire. those storms will ease, you can see the bright colours

on the radar and satellite picture, a rush of them across the country, they have been blowing in england and wales because of the strong winds, these will continue across the north and the west for some time, we could see light rain before the end of the night, temperature wise, low to mid teens, celsius, friday again blustery, nowhere near as windy as today across southern areas, some showers feeding in from the west, across scotland northern ireland and northern england it will be on the chilly side, a few degrees cooler than today, most showers will be across northern and western areas, 1a or 15 degrees at best but in sunshine, in the east we could see 18 celsius. i'd call for northern england as well. further south, for wales and the midlands we will see more sunshine and in the

east we could be looking at 2a degrees, a little warmer. we see the influence of this area of high pressure moving in of the atlantic. again on saturday we could see quite a few showers in central areas, some of which could be heavy with sunshine in between, temperatures reaching high teens or 20s. 0n sunday it could be drier for most of the country, some rain in western scotland, otherwise dry. 0n the weekend, sunshine and showers for saturday, from sunday away from northern ireland and western scotla nd northern ireland and western scotland and it should be largely dry and lighter with sunshine, feeling warmer. the area of high pressure i showed you will exert its force into next week so it looks as if it will be very much drier and brighter. in a court ruling, sirjames munby says the situation is disgraceful

and utterly shaming in such a rich country. this is not a unique case. families are being let down routinely across our country and there is a moral imperative that we address this, as a matter of real urgency. the teenager at the centre of this case cannot be named. what does her plight say about the state of mental health care? the squeeze on your wages and what you can buy with it. it has not been this bad for more than 100 years. playing catch—up all the way through school. a damning report on how the poorest children in england get on in class. tributes to the stage and screen actor robert hardy,
