soa so a lot to discuss. lots of different stories on the front pages today, but the interest rates and the rise today to 0.75% on a several front pages. caroline, the headline here with a lower interest rates here with a lower interest rates here to stay up says the rise. a quite interesting way that they had put it. suggesting that although they might rise again, certainly some front pages reflect the ativan may well go up again, they will not go much above 3% for decades. that is considerably lower than the figure that was about 5% of the financial crash. what their perspective is is that this is bad news for savers because when the interest rates are high, you get more interest on your savings. but what he misses it is the impact he has on the low earning families who clearly are going to pay more never their mortgages. i think one of the other papers is got an estimate that it will add about £200 a year to the

average cost of your mortgage. if they'd were further rate rise will increase if gimli every time they get a lot. are there any windows in your view —— winners? get a lot. are there any windows in your view -- winners? there should be winners. people who save more all to get the benefit of these rate rise is being passed on. but the interest of —— history of rate rises, that does not happen. the banks and federal institutions are happy to put up the rates for mortgages but slow to give savers to benefits from it. what should be at least a degree of good news for savers, although we are supporting about a very low rate here. anyone knows that you can get virtually nothing in terms of interest on any savings that you have got an a standard high street bank anyway. and did not pass it on anyway. less than half the rate rise cup azelastine. if you have a mortgage,

it all gets passed on. ok, let's go somewhere now. army chief will protect troubled veterans. this is the new chief of the defence staff, i think, lance. the new chief of the defence staff, ithink, lance. and the new chief of the defence staff, i think, lance. and this is about retired soldiers being investigated over incidents during the troubles. this is certain that carter was a chief of defence staff, who has joined a long line to be fair of defence chiefs very concerned about the prospects and indeed the reality of the soldiers who served in northern ireland being charged with offences along long time after the troubles finished. what he is saying is that people, those who served in northern ireland during that period we re northern ireland during that period were a sure daily bread, they were doing theirjob with great professionalism. and although he is not a visit to protect them if the

legal proceedings are required and there is evidence of offences having been committed, he is making it very clear that the army was behind the vetera ns. clear that the army was behind the veterans. but what they have done nothing wrong? that support that is made by the northern ireland through terry who basically said we have to be mindful of the incredible job they did during the troubles but ultimately, they cannot be a statute of limitations here, because it could draw an real terrorists into that. and of course, there was already around about this already when the defence secretary try to introduce an amnesty in this area. you can see both sides of the story. i think we would all appreciate that it was a very difficult job they we re it was a very difficult job they were doing at the time, and there is her in this case study here of a 76—year—old former sergeant in the parachute regiment which made their front page yesterday talking about the prospect of facing prosecution

for something which involves him of firing a rifle and hitting masonry and potentially having hit some protesters blocked. which i think many of us group would probably not passed the sniff test in terms of going after somebody in punishing them a long time after the event. but the same thing, that isjusti degrees it will be quite a large range of the spectrum. sol degrees it will be quite a large range of the spectrum. so i think the northern ireland secretary was just that —— sounding a note of caution. this will ever because clearly there are both sides that reflect in the cabinet on this debate. something else is running and running is he row in the labour party. the times of gap former ku klux klan that wizard praised jeremy corbyn victory. this is comments made to go back to 2015, so explain the civilians to me now. the significance of the story is that whenjeremy significance of the story is that when jeremy corbyn significance of the story is that whenjeremy corbyn was a lot of violence and delete the former leader of the ku klux klan,

extremely racist anti—semitic group in the us, said that this was evidence that people were coming to understand the threat, as the sole, posed by zionism. now, iam no fan ofjeremy corbyn and i have criticised him for many things. but to suggest thatjeremy corbyn is somehow if —— at fall because of a leader of the ku klux klan decided to celebrate his victory is stretching things way beyond what is equitable. this is basically a smear. do you agree? what we have seenis smear. do you agree? what we have seen isa smear. do you agree? what we have seen is a very good investigative stuff that has been done that has for the problem to jeremy corbyn's door buzzer but i do agree with lance there, you could criticise him for many things but you cannot really criticise him for having posted a comment from somebody else who is making statements that accelerate their own political argument, as it were. sol accelerate their own political

argument, as it were. so i think clearly the anti—semitism row is a huge, huge story and it has been over the last months and weeks. but i think this is not really sort of do anything to move it anywhere forward. i think i'll papers are trying to find ways to keep that story tuesday over because there is not much path is going on right now. the labour party has a big problem over this route but i think this is awe over this route but i think this is a we would try to keep the story going. do you think there have been other smears as far as papers running stories on this story?|j think running stories on this story?” think that there is a very serious issue around jeremy corbyn‘s leadership and his failure to show the calendar ship that he should have done on the whole issue of anti—semitism and recognising as almost everybody else does the international accepted definition of a semitism. that's a very similar problem, a really serious challenge to his leadership. having said that,

does not mean that every little story about jeremy corbyn does not mean that every little story aboutjeremy corbyn and a zionism is something that reflects badly on him and i don't think this one does. because he is not an agent in this. it's to do with somebody interpreting his leadership as meaning something. yes, that is will explain. let's move the $1 trillion devaluation. this is a landmark this is the company on the brink of bankruptcy. i do not know me people who do not have an iphone. if you think about how they have developed their business model. we used all have this kind of brick mobile phones that were a variety of different makes and models and then the iphone came along and that was it. everybody had to have an iphone.

that clearly has the success of this company along with ipads and now everybody seems to have an ipad and everybody seems to have an ipad and everybody seems to have a little bit from ipods because we all sent to the music into different light now as well with the advent of alexa and things like that. but i think it has beena things like that. but i think it has been a success story enormously in the word iphone has almost become synonymous with the word mobile phone. so it is clearly smashed the market. i doubt that we shouldn't go over—the—top and would be. people do have other phones member of the board who very good. very much, thank you. but i do think they raise the base was a decent phone. and sadly, i would love to recall when they first came out. they seem to be very expensive compared to what else was on the market. seven people were a bit reluctant to make that leap. when they did, as one of the experts

has said in the ft piece, the f0 became a very sticky product, which means that once you have got one, you stick with it. and you are tempted is i have done over the yea rs tempted is i have done over the years to get the next model when it comes along. at ever-increasing cost. i think we have averted the word brexit up to now but now we are going to be introducing a because it is threatening this in paris.” going to be introducing a because it is threatening this in paris. i bet this is very significant. later on tomorrow, theresa may is meeting with emmanuel macron to try persuade him to try to persuade the european commission in turn to be a bit more so commission in turn to be a bit more so pathetic towards theresa may's ideas on brexit and the kicker still and the rest of it. we discover that the marks and spencers are saying it his images are held up the border checks on the border at dover and they are going to go off and the marks & spencer sam acho not be

available in paris. an american president burnley has had this image in his time. this might be a clincher. they did not have a need that gastronomic delights of their owfi. that gastronomic delights of their own. not enough restaurants. his anguish is almost perfect. he is evidently had a sandwich. -- anguish. back to the phones. take phones from under 11. this is in quotation marks. who is saying this and of course it comes on the day that apparently what we check our phones 12 times a day or something like that? i think it's 12 signs in an houror like that? i think it's 12 signs in an hour or something ridiculous like that. this is from doctorjohn golden, the vice—chairman of the royal college are codgers, who is basically saying don't even resist giving your children a mobile phone until they are at least a secondary school. and he said one of the things that look at is a study that there is a rise in depression, especially among women aged 16, 24,

andl especially among women aged 16, 24, and i has been quoted with the emergence of the smartphone. under 11 is well younger than that but i have to say that i think the advent of the smartphone, i am addicted to my phone in my husband, it drives him of the wall because i do not give him attention and i'm consta ntly give him attention and i'm constantly on iphone. it also means i never stop working, i'm always making notes and doing things like that and i think the longer that you are to be shielded from that level of and are to be shielded from that level ofand can are to be shielded from that level of and can actually go out on their own. hard to resist the pressure, isn't it? um yes. ithink own. hard to resist the pressure, isn't it? um yes. i think my nine and quite happily sell me for a mobile phone any day of the week. it is the thing he wants more than anything else in the world. but at the moment, we would definitely be resisting for as well as it possibly can. on that bombshell, we will pause for now. that's it for the papers this hour. thank you to lance price and caroline wheeler. you'll both be back at 11:30.

as will i until then thanks for watching and bye bye. another scorching hot day tomorrow and the saudi. the brochures in excess of 30 degrees in some spots. it is the story of the summer. seven days around 30 or more. hot air keeps coming in from the south but in the northwest, we have a fresher atla ntic in the northwest, we have a fresher atlantic air coming in the northwest, we have a fresher atlantic aircoming amp in the northwest, we have a fresher atlantic air coming amp so scotland and northern ireland shrouded with cloud, at least through the evening and overnight. this is very humid airover us, in the and overnight. this is very humid air over us, in the north and south. temperatures by the early hours of friday will be hovering around the mid or high teens in scotland and northern and probably right in the centre of london dropping no lower than around 20 celsius. 18 is a more conservative value. it will be very warm night. so tomorrow, friday,

into the week a lot of sunshine with a bit of cloud across most of it so in britain but in the north there will be a bit of rain around your chairand will be a bit of rain around your chair and maybe these yellow colours in the northwest. quite a bit fresher in western scotland. you can seek 15 degrees in the western isles because of those atlantic winds, or if the hot air keeps coming up from the south and we could peak around 33 somewhere in the southeast. now onto saturday, the weekend, high pressure builds from the azores. that essentially means a lot of dry weather, a lot of sunny weather, hot weather, a lot of sunny weather, hot weather, too. just in the northwest, if you have got winds blowing around the hot, it will be fresher in a western isles there, a little bit fresher for northern ireland to. maybe the high teens in belfast. and very warm and warm and temperatures we re very warm and warm and temperatures were widely into the mid—20s and yours hitting early 30 degrees once again in the southeast. this is

saturday, now sunday. another beautiful day with great outdoor plans. but that's on its very strong this time of year. temperature around 30 or so in london, in the low 20s in the northwest. they come monday, looks like things are starting to change a little bit. we see weather fronts moving starting to change a little bit. we see weatherfronts moving into progressing a little bit more but still warm ahead of these weather fronts, still around 20 in belfast and hitting 31 ciganda in london. here is a reminder. into the weekend, you keep the hot air in the south and still pretty warm in cardiff and decent enough further north. bye—bye. this is bbc news. i'm rebecca jones.

the headlines: the bank of england raises interest rates for only the second time since 2009. the increase to 0.75% will see some homeowners pay higher mortgages. every decision i make about what i'm doing in my daily life, i have to think, "do i have the money to do that?" and it's just really frustrating and it holds me back. calm on the streets zimbabwe. an announcement on a new president is imminent following the disputed election. the incumbent emmerson mnangagwa has a significant lead over the main opposition candidate nelson chamisa. we'll bring you the result of the remaining province as soon as it's declared. also this hour: a review finds chances were missed to save 18—month—old elsie skully—hicks, who was murdered by her adoptive
