sea temperatures in could build sea temperatures in the mid—to high 205. could build sea temperatures in the mid—to high 20s. overall, the warm weather will stay around. hello. this is bbc news with rebecca jones. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow morning's papers in a moment, first the headlines: for only the second time in a decade, the bank of england has raised interest rates. the rise to 0.75% will make some mortgages and loans more expensive, but savings accounts should grow. calm on the streets of zimbabwe as the nation awaits the announcement of their new president following the disputed election. a review finds chances were missed to save 18—month—old elsie skully—hicks, who was murdered by her adoptive father in 2016. with nearly 8 out of 10 britons owning a smartphone, we look at how digital devices, are transforming our lives and the way we communicate. hello and welcome to our look ahead

to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are lance price, the political commentator, and caroline wheeler, deputy political editor of the sunday times. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. the increase in interest rates for only the second time in a decade leads the metro, it says the bank of engla has warned there could be further gradual rate rises to come. the i also features the story, claiming the new rates signal the end of the ultra—cheap credit age. the guardian explores new research linking air pollution to changes in the structure of the heart, similar to those in the early stages of heart failure. a times investigation has found that women with learning disabilities are being beaten and raped by abusers, allegedly granted visas by the home office. the daily telegraph

says the new armed forces chief, sir nick carter, insists northern ireland veterans will be guarded against so—called vexatious claims. a new crisis is gripping the nhs according to the daily express. it says that 6,000 more gps are urgently needed, as patients are waiting up to three weeks to see a doctor. the daily mail claims the web giant amazon paid £45 million in uk corporation tax last year, down by nearly three million from the previous year. and the image on the front page of the financial times gives a good sense of apple's extraordinary surge in market value in recent years, today it became the first trillion dollar company. so, much for us to discuss, let's start with the rising interest

rates. that the rise in. —— the rise in. up to 0.7596, the bank of rates. that the rise in. —— the rise in. up to 0.75%, the bank of england said they are here to stay, they have gone up but they are staying the same. they have gone up but they are still low, which is what they're suggesting, not .5% to 0.75%, which sounds like a big rise but historically not once fibres and is still a very low interest rate. —— not .5%. as a nation we have become used to low interest rates because we've had them for the best part of a decade —— 0.5%. people don't remember the days when interest rates, rates were 5%, 6%, 796, interest rates, rates were 5%, 6%, 7%, even higher. interest rates, rates were 5%, 6%, 796, even higher. briefly they were 15%? 796, even higher. briefly they were 1596? yes, when there was a bigger financial crisis, but that's a long time ago now. the interest rate rise will impact people with mortgages

and that impact will hit them very soon, it could be up to £200 a year just on this one, and there's a suggestion there could be more interest rate rises to come but the question is whether or not savers, who ought to benefit, because their interest rate should go up on the money they're saving, will do so. historically that hasn't been the case, the banks and the other financial institutions are very slow to pass on the benefits, there are a lwa ys to pass on the benefits, there are always quick to pass on the rate rises to mortgage holders. the last rate rise in november wasn't really passed on to savers, was it? exactly. caroline, more losers than winners? it would seem so, the whole point of cutting is to stop inflation from running away with us, which obviously have a negative impact because it pushes up prices. we have to remember that's basically the reason they're doing this. i sort of agree with what lance is saying there, it interesting they ta ke saying there, it interesting they take attack here that this is potentially bad news for savers but

actually it's really bad news for mortgages for people on a low income —— they mortgages for people on a low income — — they have mortgages for people on a low income —— they have taken the attack. when i first bought a house when i was 21, and they were going up every month, i was on a paltry £7 a year, young journalist's salary, it really did make a difference. it was really quite dicey whether i was going to be able to get to the end of the month with any money in my bank account. it will really affect people. if there were more rate rises, and throw into that the unpredictability about brexit and what it will look like and how it will impact the economy, it could be troublesome. interesting, some people suggested the bank could have held fire to what will happen with brexit was a bit clearer? that's right, there has been criticism of that today because this was the reason for keeping the interest rates low for such a long period

after the referendum, to give us a cushion and basically the vindication for that is that we have re cord vindication for that is that we have record employment. there was the feeling that now was the time to start doing it but now it's only now that we are starting to talk about i'io that we are starting to talk about no deal with much more prospect that that might actually happen, and, of course, that might actually happen, and, of course , we re that might actually happen, and, of course, were that to happen, there would be a substantial hit on the economy i'm sure. even some of the pro—brexit papers like the daily telegraph are reflecting on the fact that what the monetary policy committee, the bank of england, are doing, is seeking to protect the economy against the likely impact of brexit. rather than brexit goes wrong, in one way 01’ brexit. rather than brexit goes wrong, in one way or another, and interest rates are suddenly have to rocket up, you bring them up gradually so people get used to it and the economy's stronger and better able to stand what could be a very disruptive impact of either a no deal or a bad deal brexit. or certainly an initial shock as well,

we don't how long it will last but clearly there will be some impact. more on brexit i have no doubt in the next few moments but lance, you mentioned the telegraph, caroline, the headline here: this is the chief of the defence staff talking about protecting retired soldiers being investigated over incidents during the troubles. this is sir nick carter, the re ce ntly this is sir nick carter, the recently appointed chief of the defence staff, who is basically making comments and it's part of a long—running campaign the telegraph has been waging and in particular its around veterans who many years after the incident are now being prosecuted for various misdemeanours or perceived misdemeanours at the time. they were done within the context of various serious troubles. i'm not sure everyone is old enough to rememberthem but i'm not sure everyone is old enough to remember them but i do when we we re to remember them but i do when we were waking up and hearing about

them on the radio, frequent incidents. some of the examples they've given, a 68—year—old... sorry, a 78—year—old former sergeant of the parachute regiment who is being prosecuted because he fired a shotgun, it hit masonry and fell on protesters below. he's being pursued through the courts. interestingly, basically sir nick carter is saying it was a really difficult time and we need to take that into context because actually they did a really toughjob because actually they did a really tough job and they need a because actually they did a really toughjob and they need a certain degree of protection and although that sentiment is reflected by the northern ireland secretary, who wades into this as well and says we understand this was a really tough job, she goes on to say we can't have a statute of limitations on this because if we have an amnesty oi'i this because if we have an amnesty on it, the chances are there are other people who would be dragged into that who perhaps warrant prosecution. that was going to be my point, lance, there are people who look at this headline and say, what are some

of these people have done something wrong? perhaps, and if the evidence is there then clearly the chief of the defence staff will want to stand by his veterans, and that's exactly what you would expect the chief robert louie —— the chief of the defence robert louie —— the chief of the d efe nce staff robert louie —— the chief of the defence staff to do. there's been talk of a relatively new defence secretary gavin williamson being in favour of an amnesty, and he didn't persuade the rest of the cabinet, because it impacts on the whole peace process. obviously there are concerns, brexit comes up in almost every story we talk about, but there are concerns about the northern ireland border and so on and that will cause tensions to the peace process. what the northern ireland secretary, whose job it process. what the northern ireland secretary, whosejob it is process. what the northern ireland secretary, whose job it is to make sure of that isn't disrupted, the point that she's making is if you give an amnesty to a former british soldier, then you would in effect have to give an amnesty also to former members of the ira and how

accessible would that be? interesting. now, we're going back to the times, i shall have to rifle through. in some ways to me slightly extraordinary headline, lance, former kkk wizard, this is the clue cla ps cla n former kkk wizard, this is the clue claps clan of course, praised corbyn victory. —— ku klux klan. this is the head of the ku klux klan who made this comment in 2015. the headline is factually correct, when jeremy corbyn was elected leader of the labour party by a landslide, the former head of the ku klux klan, which is the white racist supremacist american organisation, read into that that he saw this as evidence people were waking up to what he perceived to be the threat of zionism and effectively the jews. the implication in the wake of all

the other stories around anti—semitism in the labour party is somehow this reflects on jeremy corbyn. i'm no fan ofjeremy corbyn, and i've criticised him many times on many things, and would criticise his stance on the anti—semitism debate and his failure to show leadership over it, but the fact somebody else draws implications from his election in that way is no reflection on him whatsoever and this is effectively a smear story. when you were saying this is a way for the times to keep the long—running anti—semitism story surrounding the labour party that's not away taking over? all the papers are trying to do that and there's not necessarily anything wrong with that because the crisis in the labour party is ongoing, it hasn't been resolved. there are rumours thatjeremy corbyn‘s going to make a speech or a video or something to try to address the jewish speech or a video or something to try to address thejewish community, which many people will see as too little, too late. but this is... it's coming from left—field. it is

two years old and it isn't in any sense a reflection onjeremy corbyn. caroline, is that your view, you are nodding? obviously i have huge respect for my lobbied colleagues, understand their desire in a quiet august to keep this going —— lobby. what lance said is right, we've seen serious allegations made about jeremy corbyn's handling of the anti—semitism within the party. and, you know, some very good investigative journalism, which has really brought that to his door and underlined the fact that, in the sunday times, they've done lots of work around the facebook groups that supportjeremy work around the facebook groups that support jeremy corbyn and some of the terrible things that have been said within that forum. that does bring it very directly... and the meetings that he's attended and the platforms he's shared with people that he shouldn't have. actually this is more about somebody else's views, which they are seemingly using corbyn in someway to, kind of,

develop. it doesn't actually bring it to him and it makes it difficult for us to use it as a way of criticising him. let move on to the financial times now and an eye—catching story —— let's move on. brexit threatens m&s sandwich exports to paris. can this be, especially on the eve of the day theresa may is meeting emmanuel macron in the south of france?” think this is a significant story, it should have been bigger and the other papers will be kicking themselves they didn't have it themselves. as you say, tomorrow, theresa may breaking off her holiday in italy to meet president macron at his summer retreat in the south of france and he will be aware of the fa ct, france and he will be aware of the fact, he will have seen this story i'm sure, he strikes me as the kind of guy, not any more now he is president, but in the past would have had the odd m&s sandwich, not at home but in paris, where they're very popular. the story is there

will be long queues of lorries parked on the motorway to all the m20 on the way to dover, —— motorway to or. they will go smelly and be good so they can't sell them so they can't go on sale in paris. i would force the sandwich eaters in paris to go to the rather nice restaurants that adorn every street corner in paris with their rather wonderful gastronomic offerings. not that i'm saying and m85 sandwich isn't up there with most of the best foods in the world —— an m85 sandwich. just saying! the french will have a price to pay, that's what the story is saying. does this come under the umbrella category of brexit scaremongering? possibly. you wouldn't say the ft hasn't been averse to a bit of brexit scaremongering over the months and years. but yes. moving on to the other story in the

ft. moving on to the other story in the ft, apple being the first company to break through the $1 trillion. like goodness, and i watering figure. —— my goodness. —— an eye watering. you wonder what happens next but we have to reflect on this extraordinary growth first of all. it was not long ago that this country —— company wasn't doing so well, now i struggled to think of many of my friends who do not own an iphone or an ipad or an ipod or one of those particular devices will probably all three. —— of those particular devices will probably allthree. —— or of those particular devices will probably all three. —— or probably. it has become the must have item. people were saying there are good and devices on the market but largely when you get an apple, you stick with an apple, you move onto the next one, you pay that more money to have the new modifications that are going to make your photographs and easier to put on instagram or whatever. it has become

a huge success story. do you have a burning desire to speak on this story or can we move on?” burning desire to speak on this story or can we move on? i think we can move on. well, you may be right, but i will get you to talk about this eye—catching headline in the mirror. amazon pay even less tax. billing this as an exclusive. less tax than they did before, five years ago? even last year. their sales have gone up at the amount of tax they have paid has gone down. i guess that they would argue that their profits have gone down, despite their turnover increasing. it is not exclusive to the mirror, the male who has been campaigning on ita the male who has been campaigning on it a lot, has got the story as well. is clearly an issue that they do seem is clearly an issue that they do seem to be paying very, very small amounts of corporation tax, despite the fact that they have this mammoth turnover. interestingly, the one

institution who is looking at ways of tackling this is the european union. the european union have been talking about having a turnover tax on amazon and apple and google and companies like that, who look for ways within europe or around the world, of moving the centre of their activities notionally, some people would argue, in order to avoid tax topic is that of profiting them on their —— instead of taxing them on their —— instead of taxing them on their profits, backpacks on the turnover, because it is so fast they pay a large amount of tax. it will be interesting to see if the eu, with a strong response to this problem, how the daily mail will respond. with whiz back to the telegraph. —— lets. this is a psychiatrist saying take phones from

under elevens, coming on the day that we hear that we check our phones once every 12 minutes. a huge amount. this is john phones once every 12 minutes. a huge amount. this isjohn golding, the vice—chairman of the royal college of psychiatrists, who is basically saying that you shouldn't let your child have an iphone under the age of the web on this topic which i think many of us could probably identify with, the age where children are walking to and from school unaccompanied and we might wa nt school unaccompanied and we might want to know where they are. really serious findings, there has been a correlation in rise in depression among women from 16— 24 with the emergence of iphones or smartphones, the suggestion being that it is better for children to not eat —— not being given these devices until later on. i would echo that myself spent my children are fixated with ipad is, whenever my phone is on the table they have got it, every birthday that comes up, it is always the number one thing they want.

actually, is great during the summer holidays to see them doing something else. they are with my wonderful mum at the moment and are riding bicycles around caravan sites and doing the things that you would want young people to do, more often than not you would find them at home glued to some sort of device. quick question, what would you do if you wa nt 58 question, what would you do if you want 58 million on the lottery, as this couple have on the front of the daily star. don't worry, you could buy a lot of phones, or pay a lot of tax! absolutely. they almost missed out because the ticket was mistakenly thrown in the bin, but they retrieved it in time. on that happy note, we will leave it there. that's it for the papers tonight. don't forget you can see the front pages of the papers online on the bbc news website. it's all there for you — 7 days a week at bbc.co.uk/papers — and if you miss the programme any evening you can watch it later on bbc iplayer. thank you to lance price

and caroline wheeler. thank u too forjoining us. until the next time, bye bye. and just to bring you some breaking news before we go to the sport, zimbabwe's news before we go to the sport, zimba bwe's electoral commission has declared anderson manning gabler has won the residential election. —— emerson. vote tallies show that he won more votes of the opposition movement for democratic change online. p150.8% —— he won. will have more on that at midnight. now, let's cross over to chris for all of the sport. the very latest sports news for you now. england's women have been knocked out of the hockey world cup,

losing to nil to the defending champions the netherlands this topic -- 2-0. champions the netherlands this topic —— 2—0. ireland have produced another shock to beat india in a thrilling penalty shoot out. they will face spain in the last four. it may be possible to take the sum is good weather for granted, but sporting success remains little more than a cure—all. in their effort to emerge from the crowd, england and ireland would need to handle the heat and keep their cool. just try telling their fans that. a united ireland, ranked 16 in the world, 18 given little chance on hockey's biggest stage. unlikely quarter—finalist against india, having beaten them in the group stage, goalless in normal time, the penalties would decide their fate. the goalkeeper making three vital saves, to lead quality watkins with the stroke of her stick to instantly become a star of ireland hockey. we have put in so much hard work, not

just the last week or months, the last you used and it is so satisfying to get the rewards here and show the world what we can do and show the world what we can do and how we can play. a team who haven't qualified for a world cup in 16 years now through to a semi—final against spain and already the surprise sensation of the tournament. england on the other hand, had had an underwhelming start to theircampaign and hand, had had an underwhelming start to their campaign and that continued against the reigning world champions of the overrun early on, they were behind. theme continued in the second half, a loose pass and some smart play. for a team that has counted so much success, this will feel like a failure. burnley beat aberdeen in the second leg of their europa league second round qualifying tie, thanks to a goalfrom jack cork round qualifying tie, thanks to a goal from jack cork and an ashley barnes penalty, winning 3—1. let's

see how the british teams got now. the first test between england and india is beautifully poised. england and 9—1 in their second innings of. earlier, 20—year—old sam curran was the pick of england's was. four wickets in his second test match. there was a nice breeze out there, the clouds came in as well which probably helped a little bit. in terms, recently we have noticed the

ball doesn't swing as much. as soon as the latter comes off it swings more. challenging to hit those links and be patient. obviously they started off nice, we dragged on nicely, 110—5. we managed to bowl them out before our total which was a positive. england's georgia hall put a great first round on the first day of the women's british open — the fourth major of the year on the women's tour. minjee lee of australia leads at royal lytham and st anne's. but england's hall has is in a tie for third, the best placed brit. she had a bogey free round and shot five birdies in her 67. ian poulter leads at the bridgstone international in the united states. the englishman is 8—under par. a fantastic round to him. tiger woods showed good form in the competition he's won eight times, he's 4—under par, his lowest opening round at a pga tour event in three years,

poulter was the man who had the range juust right. before the tournament, he'd admitted he'd never played that well at this tournament. well, he has found something right now and has been playing shots like this all afternoon and he leads by one shot. laura kenny's bid for three golds got off to a good start on day one of the european championships in glasgow. the british quartet of kenny, ellie dickinson, elinor barker and katie archibald set the fastest time in qualifying. they'll face the french team on friday afternoon for a place in the final. you can watch coverage of the inaugral multi—sport european championships being co—hosted between glasgow and berlin across the bbc. that's all the sport for now. it has been another scorching day across southern part of the country. temperatures up to 31 celsius, there has been also a bit of rain around the north—east and north—west. that

split to the weather will continue over the next few days. this is how we ended the day in bridlington, east yorkshire. for many of us it is clear overnight as well. there is a contrasting temperatures are. towards the north—west, blue arrows indicating fresh air, down towards the south—east, bs filling in from the south—east, bs filling in from the near continent and we could have a very hot day across southern parts over europe particularly for portugal and spain this topic the cloud across the north—western half of the country, further towards the south and east is where we have a clearer skies. a little bit of showery rain developing across eastern scotland across northern england but it is down towards the south—east that we have that really warm air overnight with temperatures holding out at around 15— 18 degrees. a pretty humid start to your friday. a bit of showery rain particularly across northern england, the isle of man into northern wales and the odd shower for eastern scotland. it is not

quite as hot in the north but further south we are likely to see those temperatures again above 30 degrees. 31 or 32 in london towards friday afternoon. scotland and northern ireland typically in the low 20s. high—pressure driving our weather as we look towards the weekend. at high pressure building its way in from the west. we have the wind rotating around that. it won't be quite as warm as we see the north—west with low of their, but for england and wales temperatures set to rise predicted clear. it will still feel quite humid as well. lots of sunshine and light went further south, a little bit breezy and cloudier towards northern parts of scotla nd cloudier towards northern parts of scotland and averages for most of us, 19— 25 degrees. it is a repeat performance the sunday, another dry day, could be more clout, breeze and a few showers for western i also. will be keeping all of that dry

weather with temperatures around 19— 29 degrees. still pretty warm and quite humid and if we look ahead into the new working week we will keep those temperatures around 30 degrees towards the south and east. not quite as monkey and hot further north. —— muggy. welcome to newsday on the bbc. i'm sharanjit leyl, in singapore. the headlines: the big announcement zimbabwe's been waiting for — emmerson mnangagwa is the new president, but can he heal a divided nation? a trillion us dollars — apple becomes the first american company to reach that stratospheric value. i'm nuala mcgovern, in london. also in the programme: keeping it upbeat — south east asian leaders meet in singapore this weekend with top diplomats from north korea and the us in attendance. popping champagne and they're celebrating now but this scottish couple saw their winning lotto
