you had been expecting them. why are they doing this and what it tells us about the economy? it is interesting. what we are looking at here is a battle to chain inflation. we wanted easy money after the financial global crisis and the question was how to stimulate growth. unemployment remains at low in a lot of countries so remains at low in a lot of countries so they can tighten interest rates. this is a potentially risky strategy. a lot of people are underemployed, working part—time, maybe not making enough money, there isa maybe not making enough money, there is a steel wage depression. in the uk where have the political risk of brexit and if we go through with it next year, i think the bank of

england governor is thinking about it. he is not a risky kind of guy, what is behind this move? why this quarter point rise? i think he is acting consistently with the other central banks around the world. there is always the flexibility that if the uk decouples, and has to have its own policy and package, the bank of england will act accordingly. its own policy and package, the bank of england will act accordinglym will be a blow for homeowners with mortgages. a little bit of good news for savers. they have not had much in the past decade. this story tells us in the past decade. this story tells us about pope francis updating catholic teachings. now catholicism will call the death penalty inadmissible. what has changed and

why is it significant? significant because this is a unilateral move from the pope. he has updated the catechism which is our doctor and existing since 1982 of leap teachings. in no circumstances is there a need for the death elke because it says there are other ways. —— death penalty. redemption and attainment are key to the catholic faith. of course the death penalty still exists in the us and many countries around the world with tractors and catholics. the last person to be guillotined in france was in 1977. the interesting thing is, hardline catholics are not happy about this because they are worried this will move away from the troll

teachings of the bible. —— orthodox teachings of the bible. —— orthodox teaching of the bible. sometimes it is the sign of a leader. let's talk about james. is the sign of a leader. let's talk about james. i have a cold coming on... stay away from me. the london underground... i have this rule that ido underground... i have this rule that i do not touch the side of any handrail on the underground and if i didi handrail on the underground and if i did i try to clean my hands. it is really intelligent because the chip isa really intelligent because the chip is a gigantic petrie dish. —— the tube. anyone living in london, would

love to see this. they have had to combat of different bacteria is. you get the influx of people in the morning commute. in 11 different lines and everybody is going around and they are tracking the movement of the james but in a way it is important because human beings have to be exposed to james to keep our resistance. some james are important, otherjames not so much. let's move on. amazon has been hugely controversial in terms of tax in the uk. according to this report, amazon has paid £1.7 million in corporation tax in the uk. it is of the lowest bill in five years. the

point of the story is, the uk high street has been suffering. we have seen so street has been suffering. we have seen so many street has been suffering. we have seen so many shops closing down, diminishing the number of stores. amazon is getting bigger and bigger and yet the government is not seeing the benefits. it is a policy failure. you cannot have a company fast on the heels of apple not paying their tax. they can afford all offshore tax protection is and lawyers to work international law to their advantage which the average person on high street, averaged businesses cannot afford. amazon says it pays all tax in all countries where it operates. it is based on profits not revenue and save their profits is low. they would say that. in the sense that they are going to work within the law. that is why it is a policy

question. what is the british government doing to counterbalance that. amazon is global and can shop around to get the best tax bill and keep its money offshore. £50 million, this couple in the daily mirror, they scooped the money they nearly didn't because what happened? he scanned it and he thought it was going to be the case is where it looks like you one pipe underpowered and normally the shop would pay it out but in this case, it was 50 £80 million. a technicality. what would you do? i would set up scholarships so you do? i would set up scholarships so that children could get education

around the world. you are so good, i would buy a house in the south of france but absolutely, that is what you should do with the money. let's move on because i you should do with the money. let's move on because i am you should do with the money. let's move on because i am going to begin, talking about the weather, i note we love talking about the weather in the uk. a massive heat wave and it has dropped about worrying symptoms. people have been dying. why is the weather getting so hot? global warming. we keep belching out polluta nts warming. we keep belching out pollutants onto the atmosphere and things are getting hotter and the air is more toxic and you are getting pulmonary illnesses. also staying hydrated, keeping your temperature down. it is almost like we have to adapt practices in countries closer to the equates.

we have to adapt practices in countries closer to the equatesm is difficult. there are countries in europe like spain and portugal seeing temperatures in the high 405. how do you even leave the house? you do not. but you have to, to go to work. you can see the siesta culture i5a work. you can see the siesta culture is a way of coping with heat. it is about restructuring your society. people will work in the morning, at night. in spain it is normalfor people to have dinner at nine, ten o'clock at night, being out and about 1am in the morning. we may actually see human beings start to adjust to climate. we might have to. the interesting thing is, you have countries like the uk, we are not used the very hot weather and things tend to fall apart a little bit. i

have been asking viewers about their advice. we have had interesting ones, including keeping a wet cloth, drinking water, using air conditioning. what is your advice? stay hydrated, sunblock... why has not anybody mention a hat? yes and also sunglasses to protect your eyes. thank you very much indeed. that is all we have time for. thank you for watching. stay with us on bbc news because there is so much more to come. bye—bye. hello there. over recent days we've seen real contrasts developing in the weather, north—west to south—east across the country, and that contrat will continue. this was the scene as the sun set in braintree, in essex,

on thursday evening. we have seen more cloud and more wet weather across some northern and western parts of the country but, as we head through the next few days, most of us are looking dry. the heat again will build in the south but there will be a little bit of showery rain through the day on friday, particularly across parts of northern england. we've got a fairly cool flow of air coming in from the north—west, across parts of northern ireland and scotland. meanwhile this warm flow of air from the south is affecting southern parts england and wales too. the dividing line between those two air masses this zone of cloud. on friday, that will bring some sharp outbreaks of rain to parts of north wales, the isle of man, north of england and perhaps into parts of southern scotland as well. also the chance of a few sharp showers breaking out across the east of scotland. should be dry in the west. but it's further south, with all that sunshine, that we are going to be seeing the hottest of the weather. the red colours returning to the map

and i think top temperatures friday afternoon are likely to reach 31 or 32 degrees down towards the south—east of england. it could hit 33 celsius in one or two places. further north, though, it is a different feel to the weather, with temperatures in the mid—205. then, as we head through friday evening and overnight into saturday, then mostly it is a gay looking, dry, that showery rain clears off towards the east. quite warm and humid, really wherever you are, i think, moving through in the early hours of saturday morning. for most of us temperatures between around 12—19 degrees. it is high pressure that will take hold of our weather, heading through the weekend, building its way in from the west. so it is looking dry for much of the country. not everywhere, there is the chance of seeing a few showers, and a bit more cloud, across northern and north—western parts of the uk. further south, clearer skies, light winds too, and it is going to feel quite warm and muggy i think. saturday afternoon, we're likely to see those temperatures across southern parts of england reaching around 29 or 30 degrees. for the north, for scotland and northern ireland, typically around about 19 to perhaps 21 celsius. a similar picture through the day on sunday. again lots of dry weather. if you're a fan of the sunshine,

more of that on offer. the chance of a bit more rain working into the western isles, perhaps the highlands of scotland as well later in the day. most other places looking dry. top temperatures around 18 degrees in aberdeen to around 29 in london. looking ahead through monday and tuesday, stil mostly dry for most of the country. it's in the south the we'll see temperatures staying at around 30 degrees right through monday and tuesday. bye— bye. good morning. welcome to breakfast, withjon kay and naga munchetty. our headlines today: red alert. forecasters warn of record temperatures in europe this weekend of up to 48 degrees celsius. president emmerson mnangagwa is declared the winner of zimba bwe's election, but the opposition reject the result. we sell more goods and services to

the rest of the world than we do to the rest of the world than we do to the eu, so should we be worried about trade wars and brexit —— non—brexit? imac this —— i'm at this place that sells bikes. in sport, there's joy and pain at the hockey world cup.
