are putting the government on a war footing if you like, so a new prime minister injust a footing if you like, so a new prime minister in just a couple of weeks�* time now is able to make some quick decisions about where he or she wants to take the country and the economy to get us through in good shape. let�*s talk to our business reporter, noor nanji1. talk us through the factors that feed into inflation we talk us through the factors that feed into inflatio— talk us through the factors that feed into inflation we know the cost of livin: is feed into inflation we know the cost of living is going _ feed into inflation we know the cost of living is going up. _ feed into inflation we know the cost of living is going up. now _ feed into inflation we know the cost of living is going up. now we - feed into inflation we know the cost of living is going up. now we have l of living is going up. now we have the latest figures from the ons, the office for national statistics which shows another big rise in inflation for inflation being the rate at which prices are rising so forjuly, that figure has hit 10.1%, that is “p that figure has hit 10.1%, that is up from 9.4 injune, so it is a big jump. it is higher than economists were predicting, we are into double digits and it is expected to continue to rise so the bank of england predicts it will hit more than 13%, so still some way to go, now, those obviously are the big numbers but as you say what is driving this? well, rising food
9:04 am
prices played a big part in that, so particularly within food we saw the prices of bread, cereals, milk, choose and eggs rising the fastest but the cost of vegetables, meat as well. now, it is worth saying a lot of the increases in food costs reflect some of the spikes we saw in food commodity prices following russia�*s invasion of ukraine. actually, some of those prices, particularly of grain and also ed crible oils have eased. but there tend to be something of a time lag before that impacts the prices we�*s son the market shelve, that is why we are seeing the food prices continuing to go up. so some other places that prices went up, staples such as toilet rolls, pet food and toothbrush, transport costs were a contributing factor, air fares and international rail ticket, it is worth mentioning on energy and fuel price, overthe worth mentioning on energy and fuel price, over the year there has been going up, but the big rise for energy bills isn�*t until october,
9:05 am
thatis energy bills isn�*t until october, that is when we see the energy price cap most likely going up. what cap most likely going up. what reaction has — cap most likely going up. what reaction has there _ cap most likely going up. what reaction has there been? - cap most likely going up. what reaction has there been? all. cap most likely going up. whatj reaction has there been? all of cap most likely going up. what - reaction has there been? all of this is more bad — reaction has there been? all of this is more bad new— reaction has there been? all of this is more bad new for— reaction has there been? all of this is more bad new for households - is more bad new for households because what we have is prices continuing to rise, faster than average wages and that is really squeezing household budgets so the chancellor says he knows that times are tough, he says that getting inflation under control is his top priority, and that is why he says the government has rolled out a package of support worth £37 billion, but the labourfor its part accused the conservatives of ignoring the scale of the crisis and it pointed to its plan to freeze the energy price cap which it said would bring inflation down.— energy price cap which it said would bring inflation down. thank you very much how will _ bring inflation down. thank you very much how will this _ bring inflation down. thank you very much how will this impact _ much how will this impact businesses. nina warhurst is in birmingham for us this morning. 10% inflation forjuly, the businesses this morning have been saying tell us something we don�*t know, because they have been
9:06 am
factoring in increased costs of importing stock, they are managing stock, tanker, lorries are more expensive, when they are talking to consumer, people who buy the stocks their foot fall is down. it peaked overjubilee weekend, it peaked over the commonwealth games but what their bayers are saying is, people on the street, people coming into shops and restaurants are saying they can�*t afford the treats any more and that has an. i pact on the growth of the economy. we know how we got here with inflation, it was because of the stop—start of the global economy, that pressure on those resources, petrol, of gas, of electricity and then the invasion of ukraine contributed to that and pushed up grocery prices on average families are looking at £10 more per week for their an incredible amount of money for some to absorb, the big question of course, joanna and you were touching on it there, is where we go from here, how we bring that inflation
9:07 am

9:08 am
demand in the economy. but the problem is, is more of a sup ploy side issue which means it is things like rises food prices from abroad thatis like rises food prices from abroad that is causing this inflation so it is a very difficult task for the bank of england.— is a very difficult task for the bank of england. there is some evidence that _ bank of england. there is some evidence that prices _ bank of england. there is some evidence that prices are - bank of england. there is some - evidence that prices are plateauing, in fuel for example, but food price, dependent on ukraine and what happens there, there is no way of knowing really if and when this will peak? knowing really if and when this will eak? , , ., ., knowing really if and when this will eak? , ,., ., ., peak? yes, so one element and everyone _ peak? yes, so one element and everyone is _ peak? yes, so one element and everyone is talking _ peak? yes, so one element and everyone is talking about - peak? yes, so one element and everyone is talking about a - peak? yes, so one element and everyone is talking about a lot l peak? yes, so one element and| everyone is talking about a lot is the 0fgem energy price cap and we do kind of know what is happening there, so a big rise in april and there, so a big rise in april and there is set to be a big rise that we will hear next week in october so we will hear next week in october so we do know that could rise by about 80%, and that will cause this big jump 80%, and that will cause this big jump in inflation we are expecting round 0ctober, so energy prices are continuing to have a big impact but this war in ukraine is feeding through into food prices and this month the big story is food prices
9:09 am
which have seen a big acceleration and of course, that is really affecting households because everyone needs to buy food. {iii everyone needs to buy food. of course it is. everyone needs to buy food. of course it is. you _ everyone needs to buy food. of course it is. you can't - everyone needs to buy food. of course it is. you can't avoid - everyone needs to buy food. of course it is. you can't avoid the rice course it is. you can't avoid the price increases. _ course it is. you can't avoid the price increases. that _ course it is. you can't avoid the price increases. that is - course it is. you can't avoid the price increases. that is before l course it is. you can't avoid the i price increases. that is before the -redicted price increases. that is before the predicted lift _ price increases. that is before the predicted lift in _ price increases. that is before the predicted lift in january _ price increases. that is before the predicted lift in january of - price increases. that is before the predicted lift in january of dual - predicted lift injanuary of dual fuel prices going up. we see industrial action being taken by private and public sector workers, thatis private and public sector workers, that is because people are saying our wages aren�*t keeping pace. yes. our wages aren't keeping pace. yes, exactl , our wages aren't keeping pace. yes, exactly. people _ our wages aren't keeping pace. yes, exactly. people are _ our wages aren't keeping pace. 1a: exactly, people are struggling, and so they are asking, they are bargaining for hiring banks and we have to balance the fact that people are struggling to afford their necessities, with the fact that wage increases can cause a cycle of inflation, as people bargain for hiring wages expecting inflation and that can fuel demand in the economy and create more inflation, which then makes people bargain for even higher wages and that kind of wage price cycle is a big concern for the bank of england and that is why they
9:10 am
are doing things like increasing interest rate, week expect them to increase them to 3% by the end of year, possibly higher because today�*s news, so maybe the bank of england will now take a more aggressive stance, but they have definitely got to do something about it. 50 definitely got to do something about it. , ., definitely got to do something about it. i. ., definitely got to do something about it. so if you are going to renew that mortgage _ it. so if you are going to renew that mortgage do _ it. so if you are going to renew that mortgage do it _ it. so if you are going to renew that mortgage do it sooner- it. so if you are going to renew i that mortgage do it sooner rather than later. thank you. josie outlining, there is a limited amount that the bank of england and the government can do, because of these external factors driving up inflation, in the meantime, though, people are going to be feeling it as josie said, inflation predicted to hit 12, 13% before the winter is out, combined with the fuel prices which are going to double in price, compared to this time at the moment when we come to the beginning of next year. i am afraid joanna things are hard now for businessers for households but things are going to get a lot tougher before they get easier. thank you very much.

9:13 am
we do is inhouse, means that the cost of being open, with less customers is no longer viable. so we have to pool our resources, we know that treat days classic fall at the end of the week, so we are putting all our staff and emphasis on those days where we think we can garage people will come in for something thatis people will come in for something that is a weekend treat, essentially. these are really difficult decisions for you to have to take.— these are really difficult decisions for you to have to take. huge, yes. i mean i for you to have to take. huge, yes. i mean i feel— for you to have to take. huge, yes. i mean i feel a _ for you to have to take. huge, yes. i mean i feel a bit _ for you to have to take. huge, yes. i mean i feel a bit hard _ for you to have to take. huge, yes. i mean i feel a bit hard done - for you to have to take. huge, yes. i mean i feel a bit hard done by, i. i mean i feel a bit hard done by, i feel like i am paying a high rent to be in a prime position in a beautiful part of colchester and i should be be able to open seven days a week, and the truth is we can�*t afford to. we have reduced those hours to reduce our coast of staff, which as most people realise, is second cost to rent, for a small business, it is our rent, our staff and then the cost of products, i have given myself a wage break to

9:16 am
adapted the website to accommodate the new boundary, click and collect propped us up during the lockdown and some of those elements of what we put in place during lockdown i think shaped our business for the future, it changed us and we installed things we had never done before so as negative as a period there were positives that came out of it. now we can draw a line under pandemic, this is a different crisis, and i am exhausted, trying to think of ways to adapt, and i don�*t want to keep shrinking us away from the problem or asking for hand outs of, just want to be able to go with the confidence that customers will return, and spend a little bit of money with businesses like mine. i know think is a really hard question because you have already said that you�*re pretty much at your limits, and there will come a point when you feel like you can�*t keep

9:18 am
put a big sweat sweater on it is christmas and trade picks up, people start to feel jolly and festive and want to have a good time. 0bviously want to have a good time. obviously the next season in the middle of that, we have potential increases in in the cost of living again an i am terrified we are not going to get this season, which would normally carry us through the classic sort of cutting back and diet months of january and february, where a business like mine does struggle regardless of how good the year has been. so sorry, ifeel like i probably shouldn�*t get teary but it is not a job, it is notjust a business, it is something we have nurtured from grass roots, from nothing. {iii nurtured from grass roots, from nothinu. .., , nurtured from grass roots, from nothinu. , , , nothing. of course, completely understand _ nothing. of course, completely understand that. _ nothing. of course, completely understand that. and _ nothing. of course, completely understand that. and you - nothing. of course, completely understand that. and you said l nothing. of course, completely . understand that. and you said that it is something that saved you when you set it up, so it, you have had a history, and it�*s, yes, completely understandable this isn�*tjust a lively hood for you. you said that

9:22 am

9:23 am
0ur health correspondent simon dedman reports. it�*s been described as the biggest treatment scandal in the nhs�*s history. tens of thousands were infected with hiv, hepatitis c or both in the 1970s and 80s from contaminated blood. around 3,000 people lost their lives, including steve gorman. he was a haemophiliac. his blood didn�*t clot properly. he received medication from the nhs, but it came from infected blood donors. his widow, sue, described the impact it had on their lives. i had my earning power taken away from me. my husband had his earning power taken away from me. we lost our home. we lost everything we had. why shouldn�*t i financially, because that�*s the only thing the government can now give me, have some part of what i lost. she will be one of the 4,000 victims and bereaved partners who will receive interim compensation of £100,000 from the government.
9:24 am
more people are coming forward, with an estimated 30,000 infected. this is undoubtedly a significant milestone. it�*s the first time in over 40 years that a british government has accepted that compensation must be paid to those caught up in this terrible tragedy of contaminated blood. however, although we very much welcome that this payment of £100,000 is going to the surviving infected and the bereaved partners, sadly, children who have lost parents and parents who have lost children and not included. parents who lost children, children who lost parents are not on existing financial support schemes and will not receive compensation as part of this announcement. campaigners will continue to push for them to be included in these interim payments and for further payments once the public inquiry concludes, which it�*s expected to next year. simon dedman, bbc news.

information about this or any other crime to get in touch with police, because police say that is the only way they can try and keep the streets safe. as you say, it was in broad daylight and we can see the scene behind you. so you would assume there must have been a number of witnesses to this. well, yes, indeed, and police are in the process of gathering any information they have. the people we have been speaking to, they didn�*t see anything but they became alerted, as soon as that enormous police presence arrived shortly after the incident took place, and with so many people now, with video cameras op their cars or on their melts if they are cycling along, people are hopeful they might be able to get something from that, but, as things stand, no arrests have been made, the identity i of the person has not yet been announced and people say they are in process of getting in touch with his next of kin. process of getting in touch with his next of kin-—

in 1969, people across the world were glued to a tiny tv screen to see the american astronaut neil armstrong become the first person to walk on the moon. this morning, nasa have taken a small step towards recreating that journey, by rolling out a giant new rocket to prepare it for its maiden flight in just under two weeks time. the debut flight is a test, so will have no crew aboard, but future missions will send astronauts back to the lunar surface for the first time in over 50 years. in 1991, helen sharman became the first british astronaut to travel to space, when she went to the soviet space station mir. and i am happy to say she join and i am happy to say shejoin us now. welcome helen, thank you very much forjoining. how big of a moment is this?— much forjoining. how big of a moment is this? ., ,, , ., ., , moment is this? thank you, no, this is really huge- _ moment is this? thank you, no, this is really huge. now, _ moment is this? thank you, no, this is really huge. now, 0k, _ moment is this? thank you, no, this is really huge. now, ok, this - moment is this? thank you, no, this is really huge. now, ok, this is - moment is this? thank you, no, this is really huge. now, ok, this is the l is really huge. now, ok, this is the third time that this particular rocket, this huge space launch system sls as it is known as is rolled out. this is the time when
9:29 am
fingers crossed it is going to launch for the first time. and the excitement around the whole launch pad area is really growing now, i understand there are people having picnics, everybody is really, really fingers crossed that this launch will happen and of course they have three chances now, to launch in this particular launch window, so i think we have a very very strong chance we will see this thing go off around the moon. $5 will see this thing go off around the moon-— will see this thing go off around the moon. a i. ., the moon. as you say, round the moon, uncrewed _ the moon. as you say, round the moon, uncrewed but— the moon. as you say, round the moon, uncrewed but it _ the moon. as you say, round the moon, uncrewed but it is - the moon. as you say, round the moon, uncrewed but it is a - the moon. as you say, round the i moon, uncrewed but it is a stepping stone notjust to going back to lunar landings, but also, to mars beyond that. lunar landings, but also, to mars beyond that-— beyond that. that is the really excitin: beyond that. that is the really exciting thing, _ beyond that. that is the really exciting thing, yes, _ beyond that. that is the really exciting thing, yes, yes, - beyond that. that is the really exciting thing, yes, yes, we . beyond that. that is the really i exciting thing, yes, yes, we have been to the moon, we have learned a lot and we are still learning a lot from the rocks we returned, but, yes, this, we are going further, it will be a while before we go to mars, most people if they are really sensible will be saying we are not
9:30 am
going to mars until the late 2030s but this is the beginning of that, we build up a presence on the moon, a sustained presence, so we have got people living there, we build up a kind of space station called a gateway round the moon so we have a way of getting people to and from, maybe we even launch to mars from the moon, so this is the beginning of something that really does stretch our imaginations now, this is pushing at our boundaries in a very big way. they are talking about the first woman on the moon, the first women of colour on the moon, you have been through the yourself, can you talk us through how the process works and how people get chosen, how they put themselves forward? it

9:32 am
they are going so much further, they are going for so much longer than before, and there are not going to before, and there are not going to be that many people, if you are a international space station, there are a few other people and you know if there is an emergency, you can get back to earth quickly. if you are part of a learner programme and possibly going to mars, you need to know that you cannot come back to earth at the flick of a switch. you need to be away for a long time and that crew needs to be self—sufficient on the surface of mars, it can take 20 minutes for a radio signal to reach earth and another 20 minutes to get back to mars if mars is a long way from earth at the time. it is a feat of isolation that the crew will live through. though psychological profiling in terms of the selection is really important.— is really important. fascinating. thank you _ is really important. fascinating. thank you very _ is really important. fascinating.

the gambling group, entain, has been ordered to pay 17 million pounds forfailures concerning social responsibility and anti—money laundering on its websites and betting shops. the entain group which runs ladbrokes, coral and foxybingo, was fined for failing to meet rules on making the industry safe and crime—free. it�*s the largest amount ever paid in an enforcement action by the gambling commission. let�*s speak to our business correspondent emma simpson can you tell us more about the failures and responsibility. it was a whole series _ failures and responsibility. it was a whole series of— failures and responsibility. it was a whole series of failure - failures and responsibility. it was a whole series of failure switch . failures and responsibility. it was i a whole series of failure switch the regulator said was not acceptable. it is one of the biggest gambling can companies in the world and this was a business which pollute commercial considerations above compliance. to give you a couple of
9:41 am
examples, on the social responsibility failure is, it did not do enough to minimise the risks. 0ne customer who had gambled four hours overnight, deposited £230,000, more than that in his account over a period of 18 months yet there was only one online chat interaction with that customer. another shop customer was not escalated to a safer gambling review despite stating £29,000 and losing 11,000 of that in one single month. when it comes to those anti—money laundering failure is, this is basicallyjust not doing enough checks to find where the source of the money was coming from going into these online accounts. 0ne customer who was living on social housing was able to deposit £186,000 in six months. theirs is the biggest financial penalty to date, it comes in the
9:42 am
form of an agreed regulatory settlement with the gambling commission and this is the second time that the entain group has fallen foul of the rules and the regulator did not mince its words today by saying that if there are further serious breaches then there is a real possibility they could lose their licence.— is a real possibility they could lose their licence. that obviously is a threat _ lose their licence. that obviously is a threat going _ lose their licence. that obviously is a threat going forward - lose their licence. that obviously is a threat going forward but - lose their licence. that obviously is a threat going forward but in i is a threat going forward but in terms of the responsibility for these companies and how closely they are monitored, i mean, some of the deposits that they have been looking at go back sometime. to 2019. how closely our tab is kept on these businesses? i closely our tab is kept on these businesses?— closely our tab is kept on these businesses? , ., ,., ., businesses? i should point out we had a short _ businesses? i should point out we had a short statement _ businesses? i should point out we had a short statement from - businesses? i should point out we had a short statement from the i had a short statement from the entain group saying it had reached a settlement to bring the matter to a pointing out that this was due to certain legacy systems and processes in both its businesses over that time period and it had made changes

in the area of safer gambling since then. it is worth pointing out that legislation is coming down the tracks which could dramatically tighten the rules and companies have been adapting their policies and putting any initiatives in anticipation of that. this white paper has been delayed several times. it was due injuly but got postponed because of the ousting of borisjohnson, so changes are afoot, for sure. boris johnson, so changes are afoot, for sure. ~ ., ., ., ., ., for sure. what would that mean for instance only _ for sure. what would that mean for instance only example _ for sure. what would that mean for instance only example that i for sure. what would that mean for instance only example that you i instance only example that you quoted about the gambler who had been gambling for extensive periods overnight depositing £230,000? would that not be possible under the rules going forward? no i don�*t know, we will have to wait and see what the white paper comes outwith, but certainly there should be a significant tightening of the rules and various aspects because the

9:45 am
both candidates vying to become the next prime minister have confirmed that they won�*t allow a second scottish independence referendum. liz truss and rishi sunak were speaking to scottish conservatives in perth. ms truss was also asked about a newspaper report that — when she was chief secretary to the treasury — she�*d said british workers needed to show "more graft". here�*s our scotland editorjames cook. 0utside, anger about conservative policies, opposition to the two politicians vying to become prime minister. with passion aboutjobs, immigration, the climate and, of course, independence. inside perth concert hall, the issues were broadly the same, although the atmosphere was rather more relaxed. it is, quite frankly, barmy for politicians to be trying to focus on a divisive and unnecessary constitutional referendum at a time where people are worried about heating their homes. i'll go back to the question, then. would you ever allow another
9:46 am
independence referendum? of course. the union... i mean, i can�*t imagine the circumstances in which i would. are you saying not now, or not ever, to another independence referendum? if i am elected as prime minister, i will not allow another independence referendum. we had a referendum... we had a referendum in 2014. it was once in a generation. scotland is enjoying the last splash of summer. the seasons are about to change. students are heading back to school, and these daytrippers are selecting sunflowers rather than picking prime ministers. i think the scots in general feel a bit ignored by the uk government in general. and that�*s something you�*d hope that whoever the new prime minister is, they might do something about? i hope so.
9:47 am
not moving towards independence, but perhaps acknowledging a bit more that scotland has perhaps independent needs. i think people are ready for someone who actually can be a strong leader. i wouldn't vote the conservatives myself, but i think maybe it would be good to see who else could do maybe a betterjob or something different. we definitely need a change, i think. everyone's ready for something different. get the tories out. why? because they�*re no good for scotland. they don�*t care about scotland. never have. never will. what�*s the answer for scotland, then? independence. has been for years. always will be. the candidates are keen to talk about the economy, but the conversation keeps being pulled back to the constitution, sometimes quite noisily. james cook, bbc news, perth. it�*s five days since the author salman rushdie was attacked at a literary event in new york state. he suffered life—changing injuries and remains in hospital. a suspect is in custody.
9:48 am
henry reese — who runs an organisation which supports writers in exile — was about to introduce salman rushdie when he was attacked himself. mr reese has been speaking to my colleague laura trevelyan. i�*m doing well. everything is proceeding... i�*m doing quite well. i think our concern, you know, is for salman, i mean, both certainly for himself but also for what he means in the world and he is important to the world. this has an impact on both his own personal being but also everything he represents and the values he represents that we all, or so many of us share. the fact that it happened there at the chautauqua institute which dedicates itself to exploring the best in humanity, does it underscore the importance of protecting writers more than ever?
9:49 am
i mean, can you imagine, here you are in the united states, which for all the rambunctiousness of the political environment today, is a completely free country. and we are on a stage of an institution whose mission is to have discussion, conversation, and welcome the arts and humanities, and to protect those values and to have this happen there is an affront to all of us. are the values that salman rushdie represents to you all the more important in the wake of what has happened to him? there couldn�*t be anything more vivid in its materialisation of our values. having... our mission is to protect writers who are in sanctuary, and to see salman rushdie assaulted for his life is unimaginably...
9:50 am
it strikes... it�*s hard to describe what it is to see that happen in front of you. the writers in our programme are in the audience watching this. thames water has confirmed that it�*s introducing a hosepipe ban from august 24th for households. it�*s blamed the driest july since 1885, below normal groundwater levels, and a drop in reservoir levels in london and the thames valley. set mac i think that is 1995. thames water also says it�*s working on reducing leaks, which mean it loses around a quarter of the water it supplies every day, about 600 million litres. the recent heatwave and lack of rainfall have led to low water levels in many of the uk�*s canals — forcing some of them to close at one of the busiest times of the year for boating holidays. nick garnett has been taking a look
9:51 am
at the impact of the disruption. back in the '70s, it was quite bad. it�*s about two foot down this morning, that is. it's really important that we manage the precious water supply we've got, to keep the canals in water and of course, so people can still enjoy them. it�*s the busiest time of the year for britain�*s canals, and this year�*s hot weather is attracting more people than ever. a lot of the customers come and they want to do the cheshire ring or the four counties _ those are shut due to the water shortages at the moment. closing the waterways is bad news for the canal boat industry. there are already partial closures near paul donnelly�*s company in middlewich in cheshire. if llangollen was shut, what would that mean for you? it would be difficult. there would be a lot of shorter routes that people would have to do, like out—and—back trips. it wouldn�*t mean that we were closed entirely — there�*d still be things that people could do — but it would obviously have an impact on people�*s experience. and the main thing we want people
9:52 am
to do is have a fantastic holiday and enjoy themselves. i was hoping we were off on a long boat trip, but 200 metres upstream we�*re told to turn back. that lock, that's locked completely. they can't go down there, so they can't get round — they're going to have to go the long way round. but there�*s no water down there, is there? no, no water down there at all. the boats are just all moored up. a lot of the boats, people live on them. i�*ve seen pictures on the macclesfield canal and, you know, there�*s just a trickle. people like dave molyneux. at the minute, it is a bit low. am i... yeah, yeah, my boat is actually... i can usually rock it back and forth, but you can tell it�*s sat on the bottom now, like, yeah. does that do any damage to it? no, no — not if i�*m not moving. if i was wanting to move, then, you know, i�*d need a team of strong blokes to give me a push off, like! yeah. canal locks can send lots of water downstream... ..and the reservoirs that feed the network are in constant need of repair... it's going to be very
9:53 am
difficult for boaters, for the businesses on this section. doing whatever we can to help keep canals open. ..two huge problems when there isn�*t enough water. we are seeing sections of the network closed, particularly lock flights like the one we're on here today. we are seeing drier summers than we've seen before. of course, we see much more intense rainfall when it comes and that causes its own difficulties with floods and other impacts. but it is about the resilience of the canal network, as well — it's 250 years old, it's probably never had the investment it's needed, and if we can secure that investment to make the waterways more resilient, that will serve us all well for the future. normally, british holidaymakers are grumbling about too much rain. this year, the opposite�*s true. how hot is it on board? i reckon it got over 40 in there yesterday! yeah, yeah. well, it reached 35 outside, didn�*t it? so they said on the telly. we didn�*t have a thermometer with us. and if you found it hard sleeping at night in the past week, spare a thought for those inside a metal canal boat. 0k? we have struggled sleeping
9:54 am
because it is hot, and the kids have been hot. luckily, we brought ice lollies with us, so they�*ve been keeping them topped up! the republican congresswoman liz cheney — a fierce critic of donald trump — has been beaten in a primary by a candidate who supports the former us president�*s baseless claims of election fraud. she told her supporters in the state of wyoming that she had conceded to her rival harriet hageman. liz cheney said she was horrified by the violence and chaos of january 6th and insisted that those responsible must be brought to account. never in our nation�*s 246 years have we seen what we saw on january sixth. like so many americans, i assumed that the violence and the chaos of that date would have prompted
9:55 am
a united response, a recognition that this was a line that must never be crossed, a tragic chapter in our nation�*s history to be studied by historians to ensure that it can never happen again, but instead, major elements of my party still vehemently defend those who caused it. at the heart of the attack on january sixth is a willingness to accept dangerous conspiracies that attack the very core premise of our nation, that lawful elections, reviewed by the courts when necessary, and certified by the states and electoral college, determine who serves as president. if we do not condemn the conspiracies and the lies, if we do not hold those responsible to account, we will be excusing this conduct and it will become a feature of all elections. america will never be the same.
9:56 am
i mentioned before that it is the driestjuly since 1885, 1885 seemed extraordinary, i have some history. during the late victorian phase, it was particularly dry between 1884 and 1902 for 19 years, 15 years had annual rainfall totals below the average, with five of those years notably the dry 1887, the third driest year on that period, having rainfall of 85% or lower. historically, we have to go back a long wait for a period as dry as the experience we have injuly. let�*s catch up the with the weather. i was gripped, carol, iassumed it was catch up the with the weather. i was gripped, carol, i assumed it was a mistake and it was 1985. it is incredible, the records go back for many things and
9:57 am
for others it is a short period. what we have now is the risk of thunderstorms. the met office has an amber wedding warning which means be prepared for thunderstorms anywhere in this area. some of us will catch it, it will be torrential and could lead to localised flooding. the warning kicks in at 11 o�*clock and runs until 10pm tonight. you can catch a thunderstorm through east anglia, midlands, south—east wales and going south, it will push towards the south—east corner. cloud coming in behind, some rain, brightening up in northern england, scotland and northern ireland with some sunshine coming through before our next weather front arrives later on. temperatures ranging from 12 in the north to 23 in the south, down a little bit on yesterday. this evening and overnight, we will hang on to the thunderstorm for a time, we will not all see them, then clear
9:58 am
skies further north, cloud across the midlands, east anglia and parts of wales, thick enough for light rain or drizzle. temperatures, fresh in the north, humid as we push down towards the south. tomorrow, a clutch of fronts moving from the north—west heading towards the south—east. the south—east itself staying largely dry with the odd shower, a bright start in eastern scotland and the cloud will build and here comes the weather front with rain. it will be heavy at times across north—west wales and england, and on the other side, a return to sunshine and showers. hanging onto the dry conditions with the odd shower across southern and eastern parts of england. highest temperatures they are at 25 degrees. temperatures up a little bit wishing for the north with 15 to 20 degrees. 0n for the north with 15 to 20 degrees. on friday morning, goodbye to the weather front, on friday morning, goodbye to the weatherfront, clears on friday morning, goodbye to the weather front, clears from the south—east, friday looks dry with sunshine. there will be showers
9:59 am
developing across scotland and northern ireland, you could catch one or two in north—west england and parts of wales. temperatures 13 to 24 celsius. at the weekend, another set of weather fronts across the north of the country introducing showers and on saturday into sunday, the next lot of weather fronts heading our way. the timing on the second set of fronts is open to question as is the placement of the rain, but it looks like more of us will see rain on sunday and it is going to turn a little bit more windy.
