the rate by a quarter of a percent, to 0.5%, as it tries to control inflation. the governor mark carney said households across the uk are "generally well positioned" to deal with the rate increase. he has been talking in the last little while. he set out of the central bank‘s thinking behind the rate—rise. the mpc‘s objective is a 2% cpi inflation charter. cpi inflation was 396 in inflation charter. cpi inflation was 3% in september and is expected to have risen a little further in october. but it isn‘t so much where inflation is now but where it‘s going which concerns us. the mpc must set policy to achieve a sustainable return of inflation to target, that is we must aim to bring inflation back to target and keep it there once the effects of temporary

factors, predominantly those caused by the referendum related fall in sterling, dissipate. in many respects, today‘s decision is straightforward. with inflation high, and the economy growing at rates a bove high, and the economy growing at rates above its speed limit, inflation is unlikely to return to the 2% target without some increase in interest rates. of course, these are not normal times. brexit will redefine the uk‘s relationship with oui’ redefine the uk‘s relationship with our largest investment partner and it will have consequences for the movement of goods, services, people and capital as one of the real incomes of uk households. the mpc has repeatedly emphasised that monetary policy can prevent either the necessary real adjustment to new trading arrangements or their income growth likely to accompany that adjustment. we can however support the economy during the adjustment process. in such exceptional

circumstances, the mpc is required to balance any trade—off between the speed at which we return inflation sustainably to target with the support the monetary policy provides tojobs and support the monetary policy provides to jobs and activity. at the time of the referendum the mpc set out a framework for doing so and we followed it consistently ever since. the mpc‘s assessment for inflation published today is broadly summer to oui’ published today is broadly summer to our projections three months ago. that was part of the news conference in the last hour or so. (on all of that. let‘s cross over all of that. to the city now to out business correspondent, ben bland, who can tell us how markets have digested today‘s announcement. over to you. yes, this is the graph that traders and economists in the city have been watching very closely, the far right side of the

screen, you can see that tiny uptick, that is the interest rate increase we have seen today by the bank of england from 0.25% up to 0.5%. there was a flurry of activity when the rate came through, people discussing it on the floor and everybody was tuned into that press conference by the governor of the bank of england because at this rate, it was expected, but they were looking for clues about the speed and timing of the next interest rate rises, so let‘s get into some of that. we‘ve been asking for questions from you at home wondering about the ins and outs of all of this. i‘m delighted to say that adam, one of the economists, has kindly agreed to take those questions. adam, the first question comes from twitter. will we see

further rises in the coming years or is the standing point? it would be very unusual for it to mark the entire rate cycle but we are in an environment of immense uncertainty but political uncertainty, as well. the governor made clear today all options are still open. the negotiations around our withdrawal from the eu will have a key bearing oi'i from the eu will have a key bearing on the rate outlook over the medium—term. taken at face value, the bank of england appear to be saying they are inflation forecast is based on two more quarter point increases over the next three years, so increases over the next three years, so the forecast they published to date has that expectation. that would be our ce ntralist date has that expectation. that would be our centralist expectation and probably what the market will gravitate to, as well. when interest

rates grow up, the pound strengthens. look at this craft, though. this shows the pound in relation to the dollar. look at that. after 12 o‘clock, it went down and is bubbling along there. what is going on? surely we should sue the pound picking up as a result of this, shouldn‘t we? pound picking up as a result of this, shouldn't we? ordinarily you expected to lead to an appreciation of the exchange rate but as the market anticipated this move, it was looking for in terms of news was the context of the statement which came out the bank of england and the comments from mark carney. the market seized on one particular statement they had in the previous minutes, alluding to the fact the markets were mispriced and interest rates could have to rise more than currently expecting a full for the bank of england had taken that statement out of the minutes and the markets have jumped on that and said, ok, if interest rates are not going to rise, then that's the

interest rate expectations of dropped back and the pound fallen as a consequence. dropped back and the pound fallen as a consequence. thanks very much for talking as through those. loads of other questions. sorry to interrupt. a very busy day for you. we were talking about the effects of the interest rate decision on the pound. we had a question from patrick. he wa nts to we had a question from patrick. he wants to know how this will affect the exchange rate for the pound against a basket of currencies? the pound has weakened against the dollar and the euro. the main reason is expectations about interest rates, it's actually come down a bit, so previously we had an expectation interest rates could rise by august and now it looks like it has been pushed out until november so they are the key interest driver of rates but it does not mean they will stay that way. interest driver of rates but it does not mean they will stay that waylj question from michael williams. he

wa nts to question from michael williams. he wants to know how long till we get back to the norm of 6% for interest rates, if ever? who knows if that is the norm? rates, if ever? who knows if that is the norm ? previously rates, if ever? who knows if that is the norm? previously 5.75, the peak, 1987. it could be different given estate of the economy. at the moment, we believe that we never will go back to 6%, but who knows? why such a steep rise in one stroke? would you regard quarter of a percent as a steep rise? it depends where you are coming from, a record low level of interest rates, not .25%. you have effectively doubled it to 0.5%. this was fully expected. quarter of a percent. a lot of this is to try to control average prices

to stop inflation running away and the prices you and i pay in the shops rising to sharply. the early indications are it will have a desired effect or is it too soon to say? it is too soon. the inflation profile, the focus has been wrong before. we are heading over 3% in the coming months. how soon will it work itself down? will it go down by itself or require tighter policy to bring it lower? in the report published did they give any clues about what they see as the health and direction of the economy and so on? the overall tone is the economy is resilient. the key issue was, even based on market expectations, in three years' time they believe inflation will be above the 2% target, so there is a bias that have to say interest rates could be higher than people expect because the bank in leeds inflation could be

above 2% in three is time. the bank in leeds inflation could be above 296 in three is time. when we talk about the market expecting this and that, what are you basing that on? are you talking to colleagues or elsewhere? are you concluding it based on how much people are buying of the pound, for example? market pricing, different financial products being traded, from which you can imply what expectation will be going forward next and many years forward. also, though, other economists in the market have a similar view. not many have a steep rise in interest rates. they think gradual as the bank of england wants us gradual as the bank of england wants us to portray. we touched on where it‘s going to stay, the consensus seems to be that the bank is sticking to what it‘d said, any rises will be gradual, and not done ina hurry, rises will be gradual, and not done in a hurry, basically? that is what we have got. at the moment, we had

the next point rise in november, next year, and then, in fact, the next year, and then, in fact, the next one after that could even be two years away. so we may only have one or two hikes based on market expectations so the bank has raised rates but it'll be gradual and the markets will no believe that. thank you. it‘s a busy day for the traders and economists here at lloyds. just what historic davises, the first time the bank of england has raised interest rates for a decade. the last time, 2007, gordon brown is premised, the iphone model had just been released and umbrella was number one in the charts. you've a nswered number one in the charts. you've answered all the questions. thank you very much indeed in the city of london. the headlines on bbc newsroom live. the bank of england has raised interest rates for the first time in a decade. the base rate is now 0.5% in a bid to curb inflation. gavin williamson has been named as the new defence secretary.

he moves from his former position as chief whip. his appointement follows the resignation from the cabinet of sir michael fallon amid allegations of inappropriate behaviour towards women. prosecutors in madrid have asked the high court to remand eight former members of the catalan government in custody. they are facing charges of rebellion and sedition for trying to declare independence for catalonia from spain. former catalan leader carles puigdemont and four others ignored an order to appear in court. protests are now being held in barcelona, outside the catalan government building. our correspondent james reynolds is in barcelona with the latest. those who turned up were led by the

former vice president of the catalan region who is himself a leader of a left—wing political party and he decided is workers while showing up with other ministers as well. they face these very serious charges of rebellion, sedition and misuse of funds. if there is a trial and they are found guilty they would face potential sentences of up to 30 yea rs potential sentences of up to 30 years and it is that potential sentence, which clearly persuaded ca rles sentence, which clearly persuaded carles puigdemont to go to brussels, to stay in brussels, not to turn up to stay in brussels, not to turn up to today‘s court appearance. his lawyers say he will cooperate from abroad but will not return. in the constitution approved in 1978, there was no provision for a region of the country to break away, to hold a referendum, to decide it would become an independent country, so what happened here on october one, when campaigners wanted to break

away, held a vote, you could understand from spain‘s away, held a vote, you could understand from spain ‘5 logic, there is no point in that. that is rebellion, sedition, and now from a practical standpoint they‘ve moved to crumble standpoint. james reynolds lay in barcelona. —— there in barcelona. it‘s that time of year which hundreds of thousands of families look forward to — letting off some fireworks on bonfire night. yet despite the huge number of people across the uk who will enjoy displays at home safely — every year a relatively small number of people do suffer burns. john maguire has been to meet one such family in north devon. just to warn you, some people may find the start of this report a little distressing. what are you doing... fireworks! bonfire night 2016 and like countless other children, 11—year—old maisie was watching the fireworks in her garden. but then, something went terribly wrong. the fifth one just shot straight across the field.

it got stuck in maisie‘s scarf before it exploded and set the scarf on fire. i was trying to pull it out and when i was pulling it out it exploded and burn went on my hand. yes. you burnt your hand. maisie suffered severe burns and was taken from her nearest hospital to a specialist unit in bristol where she had several operations including skin grafts from her leg. she had five operations in the first week. her mother shows me a video made by a relative that has been viewed online by a third of a million people. over the past four years, there has been a 53% increase in firework injuries treated in hospitals in england. the number has risen from 120 in 2013 to 184 last year. of those, children injured has gone from 28 to 82. it‘s a tiny fraction of those

who enjoy bonfire night every year but stephanie says even one child burnt is one child to many. i have been a police officerfor nine years and i have had three children. i‘ve seen most things. not a lot fazes me but seeing your child in that much pain, it was absolutely horrific. a parliamentary debate in the summer discussed banning the sale of fireworks, to restricting them to organised displays. safety and animal welfare issues were raised. but there are legal restrictions on public sales and the threat of prison if fireworks are abused. balanced with a huge amount of their safe use, the government decided against a ban. the british fireworks industry says it is a responsible and heavily regulated ones with 16 new pieces of legislation since 20011. maisie will require more treatment as she grows.

but this year her family planning attend a public display if she is happy to do so. but for all of them, fireworks will never be the same again. if people are determined to do them at home then let the kids watch them from inside. put a pane of glass between them and the explosives in the garden. what happened to maisie last year was a horrific accident that could happen to any child in any garden this year. it is not worth the risk. actressjodie foster has spoken to the bbc for the first time since the harvey weinstein scandal sent shock waves through hollywood. she talked to charlie stayt about the issues it raises and reflected more generally on women‘s voices in the workplace. i can‘t speak on the harvey weinstein story. i don‘t have any

knowledge of it at all. i don‘t have anything to say about that. it‘s an interesting time in the world for women. there is a consciousness in the world that is higher than it‘s ever been. and there‘s a lack of consciousness in the world and a lack of ethics the world that is higher than it‘s ever been. it happens black, white, male, female, sexual abuse, sexual harassment in the workplace is very widespread. it's the workplace is very widespread. it‘s not exclusive to our industry. i will speak to how incredibly good it feels to hear women‘s voices, lots of women‘s voices, from every part of the industry. just all of the narratives that have come out, different narratives, that aren‘t just about the salacious details of a pig in a hotel room, you know? that are about what it is to be a woman in the workplace. what it is to carry around a foundation of shame with you, from the time that you were born. what it is to not want to be sexualised every single time

you walk out in the street. you know, feminism wasn‘tjust invented yesterday or three minutes ago. women‘s issues are something which have been important and is important and has been a part of our lifetime and suddenly there are people who are actually willing to talk about it. jodie foster there talking to charlie. before the weather forecast, let me bring you this footage from a football match in bolivia. a football match in bolivia. it was a police dog who stole the show and the ball rather than the players. the animal escaped from his minder and made a beeline for the ball during the first half of the game. the referee was forced to stop the match as the players tried to retrieve it from the german shepherd. brilliant. fantastic. the dog had a

last laugh and it took quite along time, actually. he can run faster than you. eventually the game did get back on track. i have got a border collie at home who would have done exactly the same. and would have run faster than anybody else. time now for a look at the weather. thanks very much. a lovely looking back across the north of the uk. yesterday was wet through central and southern scotland. looking at things like this across angus. near broken sunshine for many. a different story for the south. some dense fog patches across southern parts in towards the west country and continuing to lift and burn away, so there was an sunshine across the south, and they live cloud through wales into the midlands and of course the best of the sunshine across much of scotland. the sunshine continuing across cornwall and devon. 12—13,

maybe 16 degrees. it is mild for the time of year. more cloud across the midlands in towards wales, maybe the odd bit of rain but again, fairly mild considering we are into november. for northern england, scotland, lots of sunshine. northern ireland, lots of cloud for you. some cloud across the north—east of scotla nd cloud across the north—east of scotland slowly breaking up and moving away. now, overnight, turning cloudy for most of us. it will blanket temperatures to fall no lower than 6—9. it will be cold. north—east scotland and southern england, fog will develop and it will be quite dense. friday, a cloudy day across the board, i think. a few breaks in the cloud allowing for some sunshine once the fog lifts and something of a subtle change across the north—west with a weather front moving in with persistent rain for the north west of scotland, and increasing breeze 200. temperatures again, 10—14 in

the south. then we see some wet weather moving through just in time for the start of the weekend spreading through across england and wales in particular. heavy downpours. behind it, much colder coming from greenland. it will be quite blustery as we head towards saturday afternoon and on into sunday. saturday, a lot of cloud around, heavy rain, slowly clearing from the eastern side of england and behind the sunshine and showers, a blustery wind. temperatures in single figures across the north and west. sunday, a ridge of high pressure bringing weather from the south—west which will mean the wind will ease down as well. it means going to a bonfire event this weekend, chilly. showers on saturday. dryer on sunday. hello, you‘re watching afternoon live.

i‘m simon mccoy. today at 2pm: small change — but a historic moment — as the bank of england raises interest rates for the first time in 10 years. with unemployment at a 42 year low, inflation running above target and growth just above new lower speed limit, the time is come to ease our foot a little off the accelerator. theresa may replaces defence secretary sir michael fallon with one of her most trusted aids gavin williamson — but who is he? do you meet the highest standards mr williamson, do you meet the highest standards? the eu nurses turning their backs on the uk — with a huge decline in the numbers coming here after the brexit referendum. we‘ve got all the sport. a good night for english football last
