tonight at ten, prices are rising at the fastest rate for a0 years. the chancellor warns of tough times ahead. by far the greatest part of the rise is down to more expensive gas and electricity. addressing business leaders tonight, the chancellor did not rule out taking further action to help. the next few months will be tough. but where we can act, we will. we'll be reporting on the plight of farmers, who warn that food prices will need to rise to cover their costs. we'll have the latest on the chancellor's speech to business leaders, as labour calls again for an emergency budget. also tonight... a warning that extreme heatwaves in southern asia are a hundred times more likely because of climate change. in ukraine, a russian solider

saw an unprecedented £700 a year increase in gas and electricity costs last month. labour has called again for an emergency budget to help people struggling with costs. borisjohnson has promised to look at all the measures needed, but chancellor rishi sunak warned it wasn't possible to protect people completely from what he called "global challenges". our economics editor faisal islam has more details. when prices rise this fast, it hits everyone, its effects seen in every street, office and household in the country, including here in lancashire. lowri recently ran her own business. now, after the pandemic, she finds money running out as bills get more expensive and even essential car journeys become too pricey. what's worrying me at the moment is gas and electric, because i got in arrears, because i didn't have enough money coming in for so long, i have no control over what they're going to take. so if you were to do the maths,

when i looked at the bank this morning, there was, i think, £335 left in my bank and i need to pay my mortgage. and ijust thought, "oh, my god!" lowri used to donate to food banks, and now she's advised to use them, as the energy crisis compounds the effect of the covid pandemic. it's like hustling the hardest you can hustle every day just to get through. tiring? exhausting! it's totally exhausting, all the time. erm... it's absolutely draining, it's absolutely draining. and, you know, you're not living. you're really not living. high inflation hits everyone but hits lower earners, with a higher proportion of income spent on food and energy, according to the trussell trust. inflation rates this high, 9% and heading higher,

with higher energy costs, have not been seen for a0 years in this country, since march 1982. the lesson of history is that when inflation gets to these levels, it takes years to come back down again, as it did in the 19705 and nearly did in the 1990s, not the months currently predicted. it's not just about the worst inflation figures for decades. this problem is so broad—based, affecting every single household in the country, either in the extraordinary monthly direct debits that energy companies are asking customers to pay or in prepayment meters. it's not a pinch, it's not a squeeze, it's a profound hit to household income. and when you take so many billions in spending power out of the economy, an inflation problem quickly turns into a growth problem. and the question is, how long is it going to last? the chancellor acknowledged economic fears at a dinner for business leaders tonight and promised some further help. there is no measure that any

government could take, no law we could pass, that can make these global forces disappear overnight. the next few months will be tough. but where we can act, we will. in clitheroe, warren bennett runs this beer hall and events venue. he says, for businesses, double—digit inflation is already here. nationally, they're talking about inflation maybe reaching 10% later in the year. it feels like it's a lot higher than that already. and he says, as customers are managing their pennies, he's having to manage a shortage of staff. habits have changed. i think the spontaneity that people had of going out for a meal, just because they wanted to, has sort of gone. a lot of it is more organised now. you get a lot more pre—booked, where people are organising themselves. you can't guarantee somewhere is going to be able to get you in, because of the staffing sort of situation. you're handling your bookings maybe in a bit more strict circumstances than you might have done, particularly at the weekend. thank you.

the worker shortage, another moving part in the economy, caused by the 50—year low in joblessness. but that could change as the economy heads for stagnation and perhaps recession. many people will simply not have been alive to experience prices rising at such a fast rate before. the problem — we haven't seen the worst of it yet. faisal islam, bbc news. as we saw, the chancellor rishi sunak has been addressing business leaders in the city of london tonight. our business editor simonjack is there. when he talks about tough times in the months to come, is it a hint he is prepared to offer more help sooner rather than later? i think that is exactly _ sooner rather than later? i think that is exactly the _ sooner rather than later? i think that is exactly the area - sooner rather than later? i think that is exactly the area of - that is exactly the area of frustration, because there was a shared unease about the direction the economy is taking, the president of the cbi said we are worried it is taking a turn for the worse and the chancellor admitted things ahead

will be tough. he said he had a plan to tackle two things, the cost of living crisis and a plan to grow the economy, on the cost of living crisis, as he said before, he said he stands ready to do more but we have to be careful, we pump more money into the economy at a time of high inflation, it could make things worse and he said he will reward the businesses that invest in the future, new skills, training and products, by giving them tax breaks to do so. but the real issue here is when is he going to do that? he said his position will evolve. the situation here is that businesses said, if you are going to do something, do it now because we need the confidence because it is evaporating. that is where the two site ended up. there were lots of warm words, saying how they had supported each other through the crisis but again, i say that businesses tonight were still frustrated it is pretty clear what is going to happen and there was a challenge from the chancellor. he said, i no longerthink challenge from the chancellor. he said, i no longer think the problem is that government, businesses are investing half the european average investing half the european average in things like research and development. in a way, he was

saying, i will cut taxes and then it is over to you and business saying, if you are going to do something, do it now. . ~ if you are going to do something, do it now. ., ~' , ., if you are going to do something, do it now. ., ~ i. ., ., if you are going to do something, do it now. ., ~' i., ., ., , it now. thank you for “oining us. simon it now. thank you for “oining us. simon jack * it now. thank you for “oining us. simon jack at h it now. thank you for “oining us. simon jack at the _ it now. thank you for “oining us. simon jack at the cbi - it now. thank you forjoining us. simon jack at the cbi dinner in l it now. thank you forjoining us. i simon jack at the cbi dinner in the simonjack at the cbi dinner in the city of london. the leading think—tank the institute for fiscal studies has calculated that the inflation rate for the poorest households is closer to 11% than the headline figure of 9%. that's because poorer households spend more of their income on gas and electricity. the squeeze on incomes is leading to unprecedented demand at food banks, and our social affairs correspondent michael buchanan has visited two charities where the focus has changed from helping people abroad to helping people at home. it is extraordinary to see the amount of need that's developing in this country. we never imagined that would be the case, you know, when we started. every inch of this old aircraft hangar is dedicated to helping those in need. everything is donated by large companies, most of which was once used to feed the starving abroad. but with increasing hunger at home, these supplies are now mainly sent to british families.

i'd say about 75% of our aid went abroad, to places like eastern europe, moldova, poland, romania, including ukraine, and also a lot to to africa. we now distribute just under 80% in the uk, and that's because of the growing need there is in the uk at this time. his church distributes food across the uk, supplying food banks and charities, easing moments of crisis. this delivery is heading birmingham, to a group who are also having to change. our plans were all abroad, abroad, abroad. so for us to see that need in the uk is massively surprising. the human relief foundation spent three decades working exclusively overseas, but in recent months it has felt compelled to open a food bank on its own doorstep after seeing the needs of its neighbours. to see working—class families now actually needing food to survive or to get through the month, they need a top—up of food, is massively alarming.

for 30 years, our local community has helped us. now they need our help. it is our moral duty to give back. the local need became apparent when the charity was contacted by this school. around 60% of pupils at chandos primary are on free school meals. 0ur parents are really proud... but their needs stretch beyond food. some parents have asked for simple things like shampoo and clothes, so as well as we are looking at their diet, we are also looking at their personal hygiene and well—being. so its basic needs across—the—board? it is indeed. the school presumed that as covid receded, families wouldn't need as much support. but rapidly rising costs are dragging more households to the brink. the level of need is not diminishing, it has increased. we do not see any reason why it may tail off or drop off. unfortunately, it is a provision that we are committed to. with such pressures, some children's parents are grateful for the human relief foundation's help. what is life like without the food bank?

difficult, i think. oil and vegetables and everything is so high. expensive? expensive, yeah. before, we went to aldi or lidl, we were shopping, £50 for the one week. now, last week i went to aldi, for one shop, £120. children don't understand if you don't have it. ministers say they are doing what they can, including spending £22 billion supporting people, but they can't help everyone, so the aid that britain once proudly sent abroad is now needed to help families struggling at home. michael buchanan, bbc news. british farmers are warning that food prices will need to rise even further to cover their rising costs, with inflation in the farming world at its highest level for decades. fuel, feed and fertiliser prices have all risen sharply because of the war in ukraine.

0ur wales correspondent hywel griffith has more on the challenges facing farmers. from field to fork, the cost of what we eat and drink has all gone skywards. the war in ukraine has inflated costs in every part of the food chain, from what goes into the soil to what comes out of these cows. they will be providing milk in a year's time, so it's just how long—term farming is. the price of milk may have risen 8%, but abby says she still faces losing 2p every litre, so she's producing less and making difficult decisions about some of her herd. so, we've looked at all the animals on the farm, to see if we can afford to keep everyone, and we keep some beef animals here which are approximately six months old. we've had to ask ourselves, "can we afford to feed "and bed them this winter?" and if not, do we send them for slaughter now, at six months old? it's quite a devastating thought.

you know, they haven't reached their full potential yet. farmers have faced big increases in what many call the three fs — fuel, fertiliser and feed. add in higher wage costs, too, and overall inflation for agriculture has now reached over 30%. some of those costs are yet to hit the consumer. lambing hasjust come to an end on ian's hill farm in carmarthenshire. it will be several months before he can take them to market and recoup his costs. meat prices are high, but he'll need them to be even higher. you know, we have to feed our stock. we have no choice there. we are obviously a sheep farm here, so we're producing lamb that we'll sell in the autumn. we're spending the money now — our input costs are high now — on the basis that we will have a good price for those lambs in the autumn, but we don't really know where we're going to be in the autumn. and there may be an even harder winter ahead. the cost of feeding animals through the cold months will have

to pass through the food chain, which means price rises in our shops could keep going well into next year. hywel griffith, bbc news, carmarthenshire. and for more information on the impact of rising inflation, you can go to the bbc news website. there are different sections there, applying to different parts of the uk and the economy. record—breaking heatwaves in north—west india and pakistan are 100 times more likely because of climate change, according to a met office study. temperatures once predicted to happen every 300 years could now be experienced three times a decade. pakistan and india have suffered extremely high temperatures recently, as our south asia correspondent yogita limaye reports. 0utdoors in northern india is like the inside of an oven. this work is never easy, but during a heatwave it can

be life—threatening. dozens have died of heat stroke across india, but millions of workers cannot afford to stop. this man has travelled 800 miles from home for thisjob. "we face a lot of problems. "the skin all over our body burns and sometimes we feel "like we might faint," he says. "but we have no choice, we have to work to earn." heatwaves are not uncommon in south asia, but this year they started earlier than usual and have been more harsh and frequent. in pakistan, temperatures are touching 50 degrees in some parts. this area of punjab province is facing a severe drought, putting lives and livelihoods at risk.

this man has moved away from his village to find food and water for his cattle. translation: i had 35 to 40 cows, about 15 of them died _ because there was no water. i suffered huge losses so i have now moved to another village, but it's parched here as well. climate change could cause such extreme weather once every three years instead of 300, experts have warned. barely any part of the region has been spared from these changes in weather patterns. here in the west of india, not only are we seeing higher temperatures during the summer, but during the rainy season for the past few years we have seen cyclones hitting this coast, which is extremely unusual, and many climate experts say that is because surface temperatures of the sea are rising. hundreds of miles from the coast,

this is the indian state of assam. heavy rains arrived early, and with more ferocity than normal. people used to seeing floods each year found themselves unprepared. river waters are expected to rise further. this country has a lot of experience saving people from natural disasters, but it now finds itself battling on too many fronts. yogita limaye, bbc news, india. nearly half the new nurses and midwives registered to work in the uk in the past year have come from abroad. it's a record high proportion, as the uk struggles to train more nurses at home. the nursing and midwifery council also showed that more than 27,000 nursing staff left the register last year, up 13% on the year before. the shrewsbury and telford hospital nhs trust has been fined more than £1.3 million for safety

failings linked to the deaths of a pensioner and a dialysis patient. 31—year—old mohammed ismael zaman died from severe blood loss in 2019, and 83—year—old max dingle died when his head became trapped between a bed and a mattress in 2020. the trust admitted the charges at telford magistrates�* court. the judge said the families of the two patients had suffered unimaginable grief. a russian soldier has pleaded guilty to killing an unarmed civilian, in the first war crimes trial in ukraine since the russian invasion began. appearing in court in kyiv, the 21—year—old admitted shooting dead a ukrainian man as he pushed a bicycle on the road. 0ur correspondent sarah rainsford sent this report. this was a major moment for ukraine, the first russian soldier accused of a war crime already up in court. vadim shishimarin is

a russian tank commander. he's on trial for shooting and killing a civilian. all the time, the widow of the man killed was just the other side of the glass. the soldier seemed nervous and said little, until the words that mattered. asked whether he admitted his guilt, vadim shishimarin told the judge, "yes, completely. " it was the very start of this war, as russian tanks rolled south through sumy. vadim shishimarin�*s unit came under attack then and were forced into retreat. in the chaos, he and four others ended up fleeing in a stolen car. kateryna described seeing the russians through her gate, but her husband was out in the street. she laterfound his body lying here.

the russians had seen him on his phone and vadim shishimarin had killed him. 0leksandr shelypov was 62. he was shot in the head. this was the first time his widow had seen the man responsible, so i asked how she coped. "i feel very sorry for him," kateryna told me, "but this crime, i can't forgive." ukraine knows most of those it accuses of war crimes may never be prosecuted, the suspects sheltered by russia. but this soldier surrendered, his only defence that he was following orders. those in moscow who sent him to this war have not even made contact with his lawyer. the prosecutor is asking for a life sentence, so i asked him how fair this trial could be. translation: we follow - all the laws and all the norms. the trial is open. if there was any violation by us, shishimarin could have said so. he has all the rights accorded to him by ukrainian and international law.

this trial is taking place extremely quickly and, of course, it's happening in the middle of a war, but everyone here knows that they're under scrutiny, they know they have to be transparent. and what ukraine says is that it's not looking for scapegoats. this is not a show trial. they want justice. sarah rainsford, bbc news, kyiv. russia says almost 700 ukrainian fighters at the azovstal steelworks in mariupol have surrendered in the past 2a hours. pictures released by the russian ministry of defence appear to show them leaving the site. russia says the total number of fighters brought out since monday is almost 1,000. ukrainian soldiers had defended the plant for more than 80 days in the conflict's hardest battle so far. the speaker of the house of commons says that a conservative mp arrested on suspicion of rape and sexual assault will not attend parliament while police continue their investigation. the mp has been released on bail. the allegations relate

to the period 2002 to 2009. in afghanistan, the number of restrictions imposed on women under taliban rule is growing. the ministry for preventing vice and promoting virtue has produced a series of new laws, ordering afghan women to wear the islamic face veil for the first time in decades. the taliban enforced the all—encompassing burqa during theirfirst period in power in the 1990s. 0ur afghanistan correspondent secunder kermani has been to see some of the ministry inspectors at work. we're joining the inspectors of the ministry of vice and virtue. they are remoulding afghanistan to fit in with the taliban's hardline beliefs. and how often do you do this? every day. every day? morning and afternoon? first stop, a shopping centre.

bystanders and shopkeepers are given a lecture on the importance of saying your prayers and growing a beard, though it's all framed as brotherly advice. you haven't been talking about women, what they should wear? that's what your ministry is most known for at the moment. translation: we have already given advice to the owner - of the shopping centre, and put up some posters, but we can't stop a woman and ask her, "why are you not wearing the correct hijab?" if a woman is completely crossing the limits without any modesty, we will try to find her male guardian. before the taliban takeover, you saw more women out and about in kabul. even then, many covered their faces, but others just covered their hair. this is how the taliban say women should be dressing now. what right does your ministry have to tell them how they should practice their religion, how they should dress?

translation: it is not. the decree of the ministry, it is the decree of god. the real cause of moral corruption is the face. if the face is not covered, then what is the point of hijab? next up, a bus stop. the inspectors ensuring men don't get too close to female passengers. certainly in front of us, these vice and virtue inspectors are behaving politely, gently with the public. is that always the case when cameras are not around, for teams all across the country? leila baseem is an activist who was on board a bus stopped by vice and virtue inspectors. translation: some women i had their faces covered, others, like me, were wearing black gowns and facemasks. i said to the inspector, "there is no one without hijab here." he became very angry but wouldn't even look at me. he said, "you are very shameless, woman.

"you cannot do whatever you want any more." the taliban initially appeared more flexible than many expected, but they are becoming increasingly hardline. despite an economic crisis, tightening social restrictions seems their priority. secunder kermani, bbc news, kabul. extra time is being played in the europa league final between rangers and eintracht frankfurt in seville. it was 1—1 after 90 minutes. it is 50 years since rangers have won a european title. 100,000 upperfans have travelled there for the game. lorna gordon is in seville. what a night of the european football and for the fans, night of the european football and forthe fans, up night of the european football and for the fans, up to 100,000 rangers fans have made their way, the lucky ones have seats but the vast

rangers came out fighting in the second half. a defensive error gifted joe aribo a chance. this time, he didn't miss. but the jubilation was short lived. connor goldson should have done better. rafael borre slid in and they had equalised. and that's how it stayed, neither side able to break the deadlock after 90 minutes. jane dougall, bbc news, seville. well, it is all very tense. let's go back to lorna gordon. h in extra time and from what you were saying, all these funds have gone but it is very good—natured? it all these funds have gone but it is very good-natured?— very good-natured? it is, it is early days. — very good-natured? it is, it is early days, there _ very good-natured? it is, it is early days, there will - very good-natured? it is, it is early days, there will be - very good-natured? it is, it is early days, there will be the l very good-natured? it is, it is i early days, there will be the fans on the streets as the night progresses with tears ofjoy or sadness, but as you say the second half its over, extra time just
