good morning. banks and building societies have withdrawn some of their mortgage deals because of the volatility on global markets. interest rates are expected to rise significantly over the coming months — with analysts predicting they could edge up towards 6% next year. what's caused it? well, the chancellor's mini—budget last week has spooked the markets. it has been followed by a dramatic fall in the value of the pound. yesterday it dropped to a record low against the us dollar — almost to parity. though, as you can see, it did rally later, to $1.07. and this morning, the pound is at $1.08. so, let's take a closer look at what that could mean for our daily lives. here's vincent mcaviney. a volatile start to the week for the pound and the uk. the early morning plunge yesterday in sterling's value to unprecedented depth against the dollar impacts petrol, food prices, mortgage costs, and the wider economy. what are you going to do about the turmoil

on the markets this morning, sir? the chancellor remained tight—lipped. i'm not going to make any comment now. thank you. but it was his mini—budget and subsequent comments over the weekend about going further with tax cuts and borrowing which had spooked international markets�* confidence in liz truss�* new government. the problem is that nobody knows whether we can afford it or not. and so the market is pricing in the possibility that this is a big, you know, experiment that may backfire. to give you a sense of how dramatic a fall the pound has taken, in 2007 — before the financial crisis — it was on average $2 to a pound. but yesterday it had tumbled to almost $1 to £1 parity. there's been troubling developments in other parts of the market. the effective cost of borrowing for the government is surging. to borrow over two years now costs over 4.5% in interest — up from under 2% in august. that is now notably higher to lending rates to former crisis

countries like italy and greece. when these rates go up, so do borrowing costs for corporations. retailers�* costs have surged — increasing shopping bills — and so have the costs of new mortgages. virgin money and skipton building society have halted mortgage offers for new customers. meanwhile, halifax said it had stopped mortgages with product fees. this is a concern for people like new dad aaron, whose fixed—term mortgage is coming to an end just as his wife is on maternity leave, and the cost of living continues to rise. naturally, with other costs rising in terms of energy and other bills, it�*s going to certainly, you know, put us at a little bit more of a deficit. i guess i�*m picking up the entirety of the mortgage costs, as well, so, yeah, quite a lot of pressure and a big hit. the treasury tried to regain the confidence of spooked markets by announcing that more of the details and forecasts will be published towards

the end of november. meanwhile, the bank of england said it would not hesitate to raise interest rates if necessary, and would make a decision on any action in november. with the economic fallout far from over, it�*s shaping up to be a difficult winter for british families and businesses. vincent mcaviney, bbc news. joining me now is sally mitchell, she is a mortgage advisor and broker from the mortgage mum. thanks forjoining us. firstly, what does it mean if these mortgages are being withdrawn from the market? well, it means that if you are looking for a new mortgage, a remortgage, the pool that you are fishing from has got considerably smaller and alongside that the fish that are in that pool are much more expensive now. that are in that pool are much more exnensive "ow-— expensive now. how much are you exectinu expensive now. how much are you expecting rates — expensive now. how much are you expecting rates to _ expensive now. how much are you expecting rates to go _ expensive now. how much are you expecting rates to go up _ expensive now. how much are you expecting rates to go up and - expensive now. how much are you expecting rates to go up and how. expecting rates to go up and how worried are the people that mortgage brokers are dealing with now? clients are very worried. the media

value, the cost of these things go up. inflation will still be a problem. it is already at a very high level. all of this coming together and if you add on top of that for many people increased mortgage costs as well, you can see that it mortgage costs as well, you can see thatitis mortgage costs as well, you can see that it is going to be a very difficult yearfor many. that it is going to be a very difficult year for many. in that it is going to be a very difficult year for many. in terms of where the pound _ difficult year for many. in terms of where the pound has _ difficult year for many. in terms of where the pound has been, - difficult year for many. in terms of where the pound has been, can i difficult year for many. in terms of| where the pound has been, can you give us a sense of where it is at the moment? we keep being told there will be a lot of volatility this week. ., . , will be a lot of volatility this week. ., ., , , ., week. is roughly week. the is roughly to �* the a the éinie the a in ie the 77 ' rim” how w we trend likely to

the bank of england has said it would not hesitate to raise rates to keep inflation in check, but sir charlie bean, who was a deputy governor until 2014, says he would have gone further. he was speaking to nick robinson on bbc radio. the bank, are, ithink, rightly, reluctant to have emergency meetings every time there is turmoil in financial markets. there have been occasions, certainly after lehman�*s collapsed, we had an out—of—cycle meeting to cut rates, along with other central banks. that said, i think, on this occasion, if i had still been at the bank in my role as deputy governor, i certainly would have been counselling the governor that i think this is one of the occasions where it might have made sense. even though the very calling of the meeting, the very talk of an emergency measure, would create its own instability? well, the key thing is if you call it, you have to take significant action.

well, let�*s go now to ben, who is at the bank of england for us this morning. there has been a lot of focus on whether they will meet and we are not sure as yet given the statements that came out yesterday.— that came out yesterday. indeed, they seem _ that came out yesterday. indeed, they seem to _ that came out yesterday. indeed, they seem to have _ that came out yesterday. indeed, they seem to have ruled - that came out yesterday. indeed, they seem to have ruled out - that came out yesterday. indeed, they seem to have ruled out any. they seem to have ruled out any emergency meeting of the monetary policy committee here at the bank of england behind me. the next scheduled decision is in early november. but we have not seen falls like that in the value of the pound before. it was down at $1.03 about this time yesterday and it has since recovered a bit, it is currently at $1.08. but a lot of that are being driven, that sharp fall, being driven, that sharp fall, being driven since friday after the chancellor announced a big tax cuts to try to boost the economy to

funding it with increased borrowing. that spooked investors. their confidence in the uk economy dropped and with it so did the pound. what goes on at the bank of england may seem so distant from the lives of people up and down the uk but let me explain how a weak pound is bad news for pretty much all of us. it costs more to import commodities that are priced in dollars. that includes things like oil, gas, food, raw materials. even if, say, things are made in the uk, it might be that the parts have to be brought in from abroad. that could push the ultimate price that we pay for goods and services higher than we have already seen them rise in recent weeks and months. as you have been discussing, the bank of england trying to calm the bank of england trying to calm the situation yesterday, saying that it would not hesitate to raise interest rates as much as needed. raising interest rates tends to rein in price rises and inflation. but it also has the effect of increasing

borrowing costs. it makes mortgages and loans more expensive. the treasury, the government, has said that it will update the economic plans in november. but the impact is already being felt. we have seen lenders like the halifax, the skipton building society, virgin money all withdrawing some of their mortgage products. if you are a potential first—time buyer, mortgage products. if you are a potentialfirst—time buyer, it will be harder to get a deal. and if you are already a mortgage holder, when you come to fix a deal when your current one expires, your costs could jump. current one expires, your costs couldjump. let current one expires, your costs could jump. let me illustrate it. if the bank of england puts the base rate up to 6%, which some traders are pricing in for early next year, if you have £200,000 remaining on your mortgage to pay off, you are coming off a two—year fixed your mortgage to pay off, you are coming off a two—yearfixed deal, your repayments could rise by around £600 a month. that is an extra £600

a monthjust to pay £600 a month. that is an extra £600 a month just to pay your mortgage, thatis a month just to pay your mortgage, that is on top of the other cost of living pressures, the higher price of fuel, the higher price of the weekly shop. there are not many people i have spoken to who have an extra £600 a month lying around to meet that extra pressure. {iii extra £600 a month lying around to meet that extra pressure. extra £600 a month lying around to meet that extra ressure. . ., . meet that extra pressure. of course, it is a huge — meet that extra pressure. of course, it is a huge worry. — meet that extra pressure. of course, it is a huge worry, thank _ meet that extra pressure. of course, it is a huge worry, thank you - meet that extra pressure. of course, it is a huge worry, thank you very - it is a huge worry, thank you very much indeed for now. the labour leader, sir keir starmer, will use his speech at the party conference today to accuse the conservatives of having lost control of the economy. he�*ll tell delegates in liverpool that labour is now the party of financial responsibility, and he is expected to echo sirtony blair — by describing the party as the "political wing of the british people". 0ur chief political correspondent, nick eardley, joins me from the labour party conference in liverpool. nick, obviously, labour will nick, obviously, labourwill be buoyed by a poll in the times giving them a huge lead over the tories but there are questions about whether

they do occupy the centre ground which blair held or whether some at the top of the leadership is to the left of that and they can really count on continued public support. yes, good morning. the economic situation has dominated a lot of the conversation here. there have been some hastily rewritten speeches, looking at what has happened since friday and trying to say labour has a better plan. that is a message labour has been trying to hammer. sir keir starmer will hammer it in his big speech today because he will make the argument that labour has moved to the centre from the left. yes, it still has some left—wing policies, like when it comes to public utilities and things like that. but ultimately what sir keir starmer wants to say is we will be responsible, we will fund everything. he will try and contrast that with the government�*s plan, saying that is unfunded borrowing and that is a bad idea. there are

questions over labour�*s funding and how it would go ahead with parts of the tax cuts, and some of its spending commitments and whether some of it, borrowing, might have an impact on the price of borrowing, as well. earlier i spoke to the shadow health secretary, wes streeting and he explained labour�*s pitch about trying to say to people the party is now in a better place to offer an alternative to the government. there are lots of things going on in the world at the moment that make the lives of all governments harder but so much of what we've seen in recent days is not due to external factors. it is not due to foreign wars, it's due to decisions made here at home by downing street. and just when you thought things couldn't get worse from the conservatives after 12 years, we have a reckless and irresponsible prime minister and chancellor who are now a real threat to family finances. and so the risk now for the country isn't change with labour, it's continuity with the conservatives.

nick what more do we know about the contact of the starmer�*s speech? this is the big moment when the labour leader hopes to get the attention not only of the party but the country for the coming years message —— the content. the country for the coming years message -- the content. absolutely. a lot of it will — message -- the content. absolutely. a lot of it will be — message -- the content. absolutely. a lot of it will be to _ message -- the content. absolutely. a lot of it will be to try _ message -- the content. absolutely. a lot of it will be to try and _ a lot of it will be to try and persuade voters that labour has changed. a lot of this conference is actually about trying to draw a very firm distinction withjeremy corbyn�*s labour party and saying that this labour party is different. that�*s why he had delegates singing the national anthem at the start of a conference, that�*s why, at every single turn he has had a chance to, sir keir has been talking about being more responsible and more centrist and trying to appeal to the voters who backed labour when they were in power but turned their back on them in 2010. in terms of what else to watch out for, there will be a big personal part of the speech. sir keir starmer has often faced criticism that, without being rude, he is a bit dull and he could be a

bit more exciting. he will talk a lot more about his political philosophy, his family and how being a father has helped him build his political direction. there is some announcement coming on things like house—building. and there are always supposed to be some surprises in these speeches. i am sure there will be some rabbits out of the hat, as well. but the firm think that sir keir starmer is trying to do today is tell voters that labour has changed. it thinks it occupies the centre ground of british politics, where it can appeal to people on the left and right. crucially, this is something they talk about all the way up to the next general election, labour will say they have a better fiscal plan and the government. we can fix the economy in a fairer way than the government. the conservatives will keep saying you need to take radical measures like cutting tax and regulation to stimulate growth. {lin cutting tax and regulation to stimulate growth.— cutting tax and regulation to stimulate growth. on the wider olitical stimulate growth. on the wider political front, _ stimulate growth. on the wider political front, things _ stimulate growth. on the wider political front, things have - stimulate growth. on the wider| political front, things have been politicalfront, things have been incredibly difficult for the government in the last few days. is

there any talk amongst the labour team up there about, you know, the political instability and what that could mean? there are suggestions about whether kwasi kwarteng�*s position is under threat. we know liz truss can�*t face a vote of confidence for another year but there is a collation about votes of no confidence. there is volatility. that is absolutely right, some in the labour party are privately quite nervous that if they do win power, the economic situation they might inherit would be pretty challenging. and potentially quite a messy one. i have got to say, it is notjust labour mps who think that, we have been phoning a lot of conservatives over the last few days and they won�*t speak on the record, they won�*t speak on the record, they won�*t come on camera, because liz truss has taken over and i don�*t think they want to be seen to be rocking the boat yet but i do think it is important that we explain that, behind the scenes, there are a

lot of conservative mps who really are worried about this situation and are worried about this situation and are really worried about the party basically shredding its reputation for fiscal responsibility. that if this situation gets worse, as ben was explaining a few minutes ago, if the mortgages go up, people will blame the government and if inflation gets worse, they will blame the government and that could be an almost impossible sell at the next general election. the government, though, is going to continue on its course. it is absolutely adamant there are a lot of true believers in the treasury now and in liz truss cosmic number ten team who believe this is the right path and there are some jitters in the market but they will work their way through and eventually cutting tax, and regulation will lead to significant economic growth and will get the country back on track. by the way, kwasi kwarteng is meeting some hedge fund managers and pension funds today to explain to him his deregulation plan. what is being called in government big bang 2.0

where we will get more deregulation plans next month. the government will not change course. that doesn�*t mean there is not nervousness amongst conservatives and criticism from the opposition.— from the opposition. thanks very much indeed. _ the prime minister�*s chief of staff will now be employed directly by the government instead of through a private company, downing street has confirmed. it follows the revelation that mark fullbrook was being paid through his lobbying firm, fullbrook strategies. the arrangement had been criticised by the opposition and by some within the conservative party. today it is the last day of voting in the so—called �*referendums�* in four occupied regions in ukraine — donetsk and luhansk, and the southern regions of kherson and zaporizhzhia — about whether they should become part of the russian federation. the government in kyiv and the west have described these as a sham. we

will presumably get the results in the coming weeks. 0ur correspondent hugo bachega is in kyiv and joins us now. how do we have any semblance of information about how the ballots are being carried out? we had last week that officials are going door to door, do we know when the results might come in? —— we heard. yes. to door, do we know when the results might come in? -- we heard. yes, we are exnecting — might come in? -- we heard. yes, we are exnecting the _ might come in? -- we heard. yes, we are expecting the results _ might come in? -- we heard. yes, we are expecting the results to _ might come in? -- we heard. yes, we are expecting the results to be - are expecting the results to be announced in the coming days. 0bviously, announced in the coming days. obviously, the ukrainians have dismissed this so—called referendum as a propaganda exercise, and western countries say this has no legitimacy. they say the result has a ready been decided by moscow and that this is going to be used by russia as an excuse to anorexic parts of ukraine. we are talking about 15% of this country�*s territory. it could be annexed by russia. the international community and the ukrainian say they will not recognise any announcement by russia. 0bviously, recognise any announcement by

russia. obviously, the fear is that the russians may say, "look, these areas are now part of russia and any attack on those areas will be seen as an attack on russia. last night, president zelensky said if russia goes ahead with any kind of announcement in terms of annexation of territory, the international community will be announcing tough measures. we heard from the biden administration but more sanctions could be imposed on russia if moscow goes ahead with the annexation of ukrainian territory. earlier today, we heard from the british ministry of defence, saying that there is a real possibility that president putin may use a speech on friday to parliament to announce the formal... formally to announce the annexation of those areas of ukraine by russia. thank you very much. the state funeral of japan�*s assassinated former prime minister, shinzo abe, has been taking place in tokyo. many world leaders are

attending, including the us vice president, kamala harris. but the decision to hold a state funeral has proved controversial — with some people worried about the cost and about the close links between mr abe�*s party and the controversial unification church. lets go live now to tokyo where we can speak to our correspondent mariko 0i. tell us what has been happening, we have seen images in the last hour or so. �* . ., have seen images in the last hour or so. �* , . ,, ., so. i'm standing where the state funeral for— so. i'm standing where the state funeral forjapan's _ so. i'm standing where the state funeral forjapan's longest - so. i'm standing where the state i funeral forjapan's longest serving funeral forjapan�*s longest serving prime minister, shinzo abe, has been taking place. there are some a500 guests, including 700 overseas visitors as well as foreign ambassadors to the country. you mentioned kamala harris, us vice president and also india�*s prime minister, narendra modi. and from the uk, we had james cleverly attending the event. it has been

but there�*s still clearly work to do. no win in six games, the first time that�*s happened in 29 years, and they�*ve no time to put it right. natalie pirks, bbc news, wembley. next on the world cup. what of that pressure? gary neville who was involved in the england setup has dismissed recent criticism of gareth southgate and has urged supporters to back the manager citing england�*s recent run to the euro is final and semifinal appearance at the last world cup. he told bbc breakfast that southgate remains the right person to lead the team into the world cup. person to lead the team into the world cup-— person to lead the team into the world cu. �*, ., ., , world cup. he's done an unbelievable 'ob world cup. he's done an unbelievable “0b with world cup. he's done an unbelievable job with england- _ world cup. he's done an unbelievable job with england. it's _ world cup. he's done an unbelievable job with england. it's absolutely - job with england. it�*s absolutely incredible what he has achieved and the fact he is under pressure going into an world cup is an absolute nonsense. i�*ve been to eight tournaments as a player and a coach, disappointed the fans that are probably watching this many times by getting knocked out in quarters and semifinals and not making it through group games. this group of players and manager have got two semifinals and manager have got two semifinals and finals and they are punching well above their weight and doing

really well. we should back them going into the world cup in qatar in a few weeks�* time. going into the world cup in qatar in a few weeks' time.— a few weeks' time. worcester warriors could _ a few weeks' time. worcester warriors could face _ a few weeks' time. worcesterj warriors could face relegation a few weeks' time. worcester - warriors could face relegation from the top—flight of english rugby union after being placed into administration yesterday. there are fears other clubs could follow. the financially stricken side had to provide proof of a credible plan for the future by 5p yesterday evening but failed to do so. the men�*s team will now be banned from the premiership competition and the women�*s side the premier 15s. look, it�*s obviously very disappointing. i�*d be lying if i said i was surprised. i think it is something we knew that was coming. we have spoken about it at length last week, the back end of last week leading into the newcastle game that this was probably the likely outcome. but even though we knew it was coming it is tough. like i say we are rugby players and we want to play rugby and to not have that opportunity is pretty tough. i�*ve just got my fingers crossed that there is a resolution sooner rather than later so that we can get back out on the

we never would have made this happen without everyone�*s support. when we first heard of the money we had to raise, we kind ofjust come to terms with, maybe we�*ll never get this money. we set up a gofundme in hopes of raising... nowhere near the amount we�*ve raised, and it�*s still going. people are still showing us support and we couldn�*t be more thankful for it. paul�*s family and the uk government say he was doing humanitarian work when in april he was detained by pro—russian separatists at a checkpoint in ukraine and accused of being a mercenary. no matter what the situation, he always tried to make a better outcome. and i think in this situation, that�*s what he wanted to do. as he said to our mum, "i need to go and help the women and children. it's not their fault they're in this war." i don't think he understood the risks. lyndsey, who spoke to paul during his detention, also addressed claims from the ukraine government that her brother had been tortured. devastated that a human being could do that to another human being. he didn't sound happy. he didn't sound himself.

it's like he was being told what to say. it wasn't him that i was talking to. he sounded depressed. last week, five british nationals held by russian—backed forces in ukraine were freed. this foreign secretary james cleverly welcomed the news, but spoke of the tragedy of paul urey not making it back with them. i think that�*s the most important thing at the moment, is tojust bring him home and make sure he�*s is not suffering. he�*s died. he�*s died now and i don�*t want him to still be suffering. i want to lay him to rest. paul urey�*s family say his repatriation will help to give them closure. ian haslam, bbc news. there are calls for greater help for victims of coercive and controlling behaviour, after a new study found it was a factor in more than half of cases where people were killed by a current or ex—partner. the analysis, based on detailed reviews of a sample of killings,

comes as a new poll carried out for bbc news suggests a third of women aged 25 to 6a had experienced some form of coercive and controlling behaviour. anna adams reports. so... so this was mum in her new flat. so she was really, really happy in that picture. gary�*s mother, marion, was killed by her ex—husband after she escaped a coercively controlling marriage. my mum went from bubbly to a shell of a woman. he would control what my mum spent her money on. he just always put her down. he tried to encourage her to leave work, so eventually it would just be her and him and she wouldn�*t be able to leave. when the relationship ended, her ex—partner started to follow her. months later, marion was murdered. we found out that he had used a tracking device to track her. he followed her back to her flat. he pulled up alongside her and shot her through the car window. and she hadn�*t even taken her seat belt off yet. coercive control is a crime.

it�*s a pattern of psychological abuse used to intimidate and frighten a victim. and according to a new study, it�*s a factor in half of all cases when a person�*s been killed by someone they were in an intimate relationship with. most of the victims were women of coercive and controlling behaviour. so in nearly...just under three quarters of cases, there was prior domestic abuse within the relationship. and across the whole data set — so that's the 300+ dhrs that we analysed — in half those cases, agencies were aware of it, which indicates somehow that more needs to be done to identify, recognise and intervene appropriately. it comes as a new poll carried out for bbc news reveals a third of women aged between 25 and 6a report having experienced coercive control. the figures were slightly lower for women aged 18 to 2a, at 23%.

mia — not her real name — said she didn�*t realise she was being abused. there was extreme name—calling, death threats. then one day he attacked me. it was only when my doctor asked how things were at home that the situation changed. they said to pack an emergency bag for me and my baby, and put me in touch with a refuge. even though we have split, the abuse continues. it�*s relentless. gary hopes talking about his mother�*s death will highlight the dangers of coercive control. if someone sees this and realises there�*s a pattern in their own relationship, or they can see it happen to their mum or anyone in their family, i want them to realise that coercive control is serious, and it can end like this — in tragedy. anna adams, bbc news. we wa nt we want to bring you continued news

about our main story, the repercussions of friday�*s mini budget, the fall in the pound and what they will do for mortgages with some products being withdrawn, and of course potentially interest rates going up. ijust want to bring you some tweets coming in at the moment. i did ask you to let me know if you have any questions. dave said they made an offer on a house yesterday, last week they had the money to extend it and now almost all of their savings have gone into the deposit to keep the protection of monthly payments the protection of monthly payments the same and didn�*t expect until 202a so those plans are ruined. those people in the middle of the move will be worried about what is happening. delilah has said i�*m conservative but rated no voted for rishi sunak. tax cuts are not what people need right now. we need lower bills. i�*m terrified for my future and i have to sell my house because i can�*t afford a remortgage when it is time to. energy bills have crippled me. energy, food prices and now mortgages potentially all going up. sam has said he has three years

left on their five year fixed rate mortgage but it is still concerning how high interest rates might be by then. that is the point, whenever people are going to have to move rates, orapply people are going to have to move rates, or apply for a new mortgage completely, the current uncertainty and rising numbers are very concerning. let us bring you more insight for the many people who do need more clarity and the source of terminology being used, reporting on the currency markets driving this financial moment of difficulty. starting with a week or a strong currency, it might seem obvious but this is to do with the fact that currency has a price. when the price is high the currency seen as strong. doesn�*t mean that a strong currency can�*t have some disadvantages. it is just that the term used for the price of a currency in the international markets is high. next currency speculation. notjust international markets is high. next currency speculation. not just the buying and selling of a currency on the international markets, it is

when brokers buy or sell currency with the intention of guessing whether it will rise or fall in value and making money if they get it right. it is essentially betting on whether a currency will go up or down. that takes us to shorting the pound. here, shorting means selling, so shorting the pound means taking a position that will earn you a profit if the value of the pound falls against other currencies. who is doing the buying and selling? the international financial market. what is that made up of? a variety of institutions like banks, investment firms, pension funds and so on. some of them will be doing it purely for the purpose of speculation. finally, parity. that is when a single unit of currency has an equal value to a single unit of another currency. it is not of any intrinsic importance but it is very significant symbolically for the confidence of investors. we have been talking of course about whether the pound and dollar will hit parity. so that is

one of the many terms being bandied about. wejust one of the many terms being bandied about. we just thought we would try and bring you that because there are of course so many complex terms and ideas floating around at the moment in trying to explain what is actually going on and why crucially it matters to everyone�*s household finances and essences of course too. 0vernight, scientists at nasa have deliberately crashed a spacecraft into a small asteroid, aiming to push it off course. the dart mission is the first test of the technique, and it�*s hoped that it�*ll teach us how to change the speed and path of future asteroids and planets. 0ur science editor, rebecca morelle, has been taking a look at what happened. closing in on the target. images beamed back from seven million miles away as a nasa spacecraft approaches an asteroid. the details of the rocky world are revealed, but this probe isn�*t here to study it.

its job is to knock the space rock off course by smashing into it. ..two...one! oh, wow. and this was the reaction from mission control. cheering. this space rock poses no threat. this is a test to see how we could deal with one on a collision course with the earth. i definitely think that, as far as we can tell, our first planetary defence test was a success, and i think we can clap to that, everyone. cheering. so... right? so, yeah, well, i... yeah, i think the earthlings should sleep better — definitely i will! the people working here, we�*re definitely going to sleep better. and lift—off of the falcon 9... the mission, called dart, began last year, with the spacecraft starting its epicjourney to its destination. the target, a twin asteroid system. a larger space rock called didymos is orbited by a smaller space rock called dimorphos, that�*s about 150 meters —

that�*s about 150 metres — that�*s about 500 feet — across. the spacecraft travelling at 1a,000 miles an hour crashes into dimorphos, giving the asteroid a kick. this changes its speed byjust a fraction — about a millimetre per second — but this is enough to alter its orbit, and scientists can monitor this from earth to see if it�*s worked. dart really is just the start. it�*s just the first planetary defence test mission. it was spectacular and it�*s accomplished and we�*ll figure out how effective it was — that�*s really what we�*re going to learn in the next weeks to come. all right, we hit this asteroid — now, how effective was that at deflecting it and what would that mean for using it? the damage asteroids can do is well known — the biggest ones could cause global devastation, like the space rock that wiped out the dinosaurs 66 million years ago. the challenge is to find them early enough, so a mission to divert could be carried out

well in advance. the dart mission is the first step in finding a solution, and in the coming days and weeks, scientists will be assessing whether their test has been successful. it�*s a demonstration of a technology that could one day save our planet. rebecca morelle, bbc news. i have some more i have some more on a i have some more on a story we brought you about coercive control. a government agency said strengthening their response is a priority and through statutory guidance they are supporting front line services to better identify and respond to domestic abuse, including coercive control and emotional abuse. if you are affected by anything raised in the report we showed you earlier you can find help and support@bbc.co.uk/ action line. the headlines on bbc news: the bank of england says it

the city is known for its steel and mining history, and you don�*t have to dig too deep to find a sense of humour — which doesn�*t always translate at eurovision. there is a sexy secret between us. graham norton: there are 180 million people watching this. _ do it yourself at home. do you want tango or samba? samba. sheffield—born graham fellow�*s characterjohn shuttleworth had eurovision dreams in the �*90s. # pigeons in flight. # i wanna see you tonight... but it proved too expensive. if i was to send just the chorus and a cheque for, say, £20, would that be possible? no, we can't accept a cheque for less than the amount. - how would john shuttleworth react if sheffield won the bid? he'd jump up and down with glee, but also there'd be a little hint ofjealousy if his song pigeons in flight was not the official uk entry. what�*s sheffield�*s sense of humour like? it's quite self—deprecating.

the weather's not great — we're surrounded by all these hills, making us a bit depressed. in a way, eurovision needs to cool down a bit. it's a little bit too, "whey!" you know, maybe a few sheffield people — just the sheffield air willjust calm everyone down a bit. if sheffield is chosen, then this multi—purpose arena will be transformed for one of the most complex tv productions in the world, with weeks of rehearsals to make sure nothing slips up on the night. we�*ve got a fantastic track record of putting on major international events. we�*re the greenest city in europe, fantastic people, but also we�*re welcoming. cafe kalyna was set up to offerjobs to ukrainian refugees escaping the war. it�*s like a big village, having people so friendly, so kind and want to help. and like, when, like... "oh, my god, you are from ukraine! i�*m sorry, i�*m really sorry!"

i say, "no, it�*s not yourfault, of course." wherever the contest ends up, it will take over the city for weeks. but what�*s it actually like to be there? the whole experience was really... it was really wonderful and really fun. # dance with the angels... lindsay dracass was selected to represent the uk in 2001. it's such a production now to what it was in the 2000s. now there's, like, lighting on the floor and everything, isn't there? and fireworks and stuff. in my day, they kind of... it wasm _ it was what it was. she�*s convinced sheffield would be a great host for the competition next year. it's quite sparse, sheffield, it's quite big. but we can all come together and have a party. # if we keep holding on... the bbc is expected to announce which city�*s won the bid in the coming weeks. # free... daniel rosney, bbc news, sheffield. # impossible.

the north channel and areas adjacent to it, coming on across the irish sea into north—west england, wales, midlands, some getting into the south—east end of this area is another weather front. that weather front late in the day will bring further rain across pembrokeshire, devon and cornwall, and eventually make it into the channel islands. in between all of this some dry conditions, bright spells also some sunshine. but don�*t forget we do have that gusty wind. you can see from the numbers in the circle is just how strong the wind is going to be and it is coming from a chilly direction, namely from the north—west. so it will exacerbate the cold feel of the temperatures and generally they are below average for the time of year anyway. we are looking 13—16 . this time they should roughly be 17 in the north to about 20 in the south. as we head through the evening and overnight at this band of rain in the south—west and channel islands clears the south—west, but lingers in the channel islands and by morning you may hear the odd rumble of thunder coming from that. we are looking at

showers coming in across the north—east of scotland, but in between clear skies, so it is going to be another cool night. into tomorrow we start on the cool note. there will be a fair bit of sunshine to start, fair with a clown building through the day, showers in the north—east of scotland slipping steadily southwards through the day and a few showers in western wales. thursday is a quieter day, the wind is not a strong, still a few showers, we still have the rain to push away from southern england but we will see a lot of dry conditions. the sunshine making things feel quite nice and in the light wind it will not feel as cool. temperatures 12-17 . the will not feel as cool. temperatures 12—17 . the temperatures are slowly starting to recover. but then it all changes because we have an active area of low pressure and its attendant fronts coming in from the west meaning during the course of friday we are looking at some wet and windy weather.
