good morning, welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. our headlines today. interest rates are expected to hit their highest level for 1a years, as the bank of england tries to curb soaring inflation. about 1.6 million people have a mortgage is directly tied to today's interest rate announcement. good morning from an estate agent into derby, where i will be looking at the impact on you. the manchester arena bombing — a new report will focus on the response of the emergency services and whether lives could have been saved.

good morning from the cooper box arena, where the stage is set for the wheelchair rugby league world cup. elsewhere, champions league history is made by the 17—year—old manchester city player rico lewis, on the final night of group stage matches. good morning. we have had some heavy overnight rain pushing southwards and eastwards. it will take its time to clear from the far south—east today, but behind it we are looking at sunshine and showers. strong winds in the north of scotland, and the winds are strengthening later in the south—west. details coming up. good morning. it's thursday, the 3rd of november. our main story. the bank of england is expected to increase interest rates to at least 3% today — the highest level for 1h years. the decision could push up mortgage payments further for millions of customers. our correspondent navtej

johal has this report. this decision by the bank of england follows a number of interest rate rises. it will take the bank of england base rate to its highest level for 1h years. it follows a series of decisions recently by the bank of england. naftali johal has this report. omar is a veterinary surgeon based in derby. he came to the uk four years ago and had planned to buy a home and settle here long term. with interest rates here expected to rise further today, which is likely to make mortgages more expensive, omar says he's now considering whether he should even stay in the uk. have you lost trust in the uk? i trust my colleagues, i trust my friends, i trust a lot of people in the uk and it shook my trust in the system. and you may move, you may leave the country. the bank of england sets interest rates for the uk. at the moment they are 2.25%,

but are expected to increase later today, possibly up to 3%, in an attempt to deal with rising inflation, which is the rate at which prices are going up. this will affect savers and borrowers, including people with existing mortgages and first—time buyers. becky was hoping to buy her first house in derby with her partner. we were working it out and thinking, yeah, we can do this. with the rates now we're a lot more hesitant. you'rejust banging your head up against a brick wall, like, where do i go from here? jay runs a music venue in the city. he's a homeowner who's worried about his repayments jumping massively in a few months�* time. it's going to increase by about 4%. at the moment, i'm looking at around about £150 a month increase on my monthly payment. the basic things that people need is a roof over the head to be able to keep warm and to be able to eat. and it feels like all three elements

there are being attacked by what's going on in the economy. despite the recent rises in interest rates, people are still getting or renewing their mortgage here in derby and across the country. but perhaps even more elusive than a decent mortgage deal at the moment is some level of certainty about what comes next. michelle has worked in the mortgage industry for more than 20 years. she says she's never seen anything like the current situation. i want to see some stability in the market. i'd love to see them kind of say, right, well, we've put it up 1%, but that's it. you know, forfor six months. for eight months, you know, for a year, you know, let'sjust give people a bit of stability so they know where they are. in the meantime, there will be plenty watching what the bank of england decides to do later today and bracing themselves for what the next few months may hold. navtaonhal, bbc news derby. hannah is in derby

for us this morning. good morning. you are an estate agent there. mortgages will be one of those areas possibly most affected? ., ., ., ., , affected? yeah, good morning. this is certainly one _ affected? yeah, good morning. this is certainly one of— affected? yeah, good morning. this is certainly one of the _ affected? yeah, good morning. this is certainly one of the places - affected? yeah, good morning. this is certainly one of the places where l is certainly one of the places where people will really see the impact of the decision. about 1.6 million people across the country have tracker or variable mortgages directly tied to the bank of england's announcement today. millions more will see the impact when they come to renegotiate their mortgage whenever that might be. a 0.75 percentage point rise would be the biggest single increase since 1989. the idea is that raising the cost of borrowing takes money out of people's pockets, gives us less to spend, and that can bring down inflation, which is the bank of england's aim. that may seem very strange to people watching, who are already feeling squeezed. but it is

worth saying that this is happening in america and across europe. in september, the bank of england did not raise interest rates by quite as much as had been predicted. an awful lot has happened in the mortgage market since then. and the mini budget that brought about a huge amount of changes. the big question today is, how high will rates go? we will get a new prediction on that when the bank of england makes its announcement at midday today. but it has been previously said that by next year we could be looking at interest rates of 5%. and i, thank you. —— hannah. home secretary suella braverman is under mounting pressure to try and resolve the growing migrant crisis. the government has confirmed it's facing a possible legal challenge over the way the manston migrant processing centre in kent has been run. our political correspondent, ben wright, is in westminster. good morning. lots of reports about the composition of those who have

made illegal crossings here to the uk. there has been some response from the albanian prime minister? there has. morning, naga. on several fronts the government is under massive pressure when it comes to its asylum and immigration policy. the prime minister yesterday said this was a serious and escalating problem. there is the issue of the manston camp, or centre, which is clearly overcrowded. last night the immigration minister robertjenrick said there were about 3500 people there at the moment, weigh in excess of the capacity it was designed for. hotel accommodation was being sought for people there. at the big picture clearly is that the arrivals of small boats continues. there has been a particular focus on the number of albanians coming to britain. about a 12,000 so far this year. suella braverman, the home secretary, speaking in the house of

commons earlier this week, talked about an invasion on the south coast and did name albanians, or pick out albanians in particular. now the rhetoric around this has been noticed in albania itself. the country pm —— the country's buy minister said he was appalled. it is about the climate that has been created — about the climate that has been created. it is about finding scapegoats and blaming others, while it is very— scapegoats and blaming others, while it is very obvious even from tirana, which _ it is very obvious even from tirana, which is _ it is very obvious even from tirana, which is hot — it is very obvious even from tirana, which is not near london, that it is about_ which is not near london, that it is about failed — which is not near london, that it is about failed policies. it is not about— about failed policies. it is not about albanians or or aliens or gangsters, but it is about failed policies — gangsters, but it is about failed policies on borders and crime. the current policies on borders and crime. tie: current debate about albanians has fuelled the argument about the distinction between economic refugees and political refugees. and it's interesting to note that of the

albanians who have so far claimed asylum in the uk, more than half have had their application accepted. that is a bit lower than the broad statistic for all nationalities, which is 76%. it shows about half of albanians are claiming the right to live in the uk. one of the major the government is dealing with right now is the backlog in dealing asylum claims. it is taking about 1k months to process them. that is why the system is as bunged up as it is. this is clearly a difficult problem for the government at the moment. ben wright, thank you. former israeli prime minister, benjamin netanyahu is set to return to power, as the final votes are counted in the country's elections. our middle east correspondent tom bateman is injerusalem. morning. tom, if netanyahu is declared the winner, it will cap a remarkable political comeback?

morning. it certainly will be. what we expect to happen by the close of play tonight is the final tally of votes to be counted. and as you say, it will be confirmed that mr netanyahu will get enough seeds in israel's parliament to make that dramatic comeback. and all the while he has been facing a corruption trial, allegations he denies, yet israeli voters have chosen his religious right—wing bloc once israeli voters have chosen his religious ri time ing bloc once israeli voters have chosen his religious ri time ing bl block e racist due racist due the acist due tt thatt opposition, have wa nt want is leading international we

greater manchester. 22nd of may, 2017. late at night, a major incident is announced. there have been, confirmed, a number of fatalities following reports of an explosion at manchester arena. sirens screeched towards the scene... start making your way towards the city centre, please! ..but the police were in disarray. paramedics mostly stayed out of the blast area, and the fire service didn't respond at all for more than two hours. firefighters were held back at a station three miles away. we just waited and waited for instruction. this firefighter, speaking anonymously, for fear of losing hisjob. so, as time and time went on, it was more embarrassing, and more and more frustrating, because you hear reports of people were dying. there were people getting ferried to hospitals all over the north west. and then there's

the feeling of guilt — well, maybe if i did something. even so small, you know, you can hold your head up high. but to stand there and then do nothing all that time, it was embarrassing. shameful. the arena was full of young people who'd been at an ariana grande concert. moments after the performance ended, the bomb went off in the foyer area known as the city room. failings in the emergency response meant that members of the public had to step in. people like ron blake, himself injured, who could see that the man next to him was badly hurt. what did you notice about him? just the blood... ..with a, like a trail. so, ijust went to see how he were. he was talking, told me his name and all that. asked him where he were from. so he communicated.

in less than a minute of that explosion, you rang 999, didn't you? yeah. police emergency, hello. yeah, there's been an explosion at manchester arena! john atkinson was the man ron was trying to help. his legs were bleeding heavily. on the way down, i remembered my wife had a belt on, so i asked her to give me the belt. ron tied the belt tightly around john's leg to slow the bleeding. we know you did that for the best part of an hour? yeah. you thought help would be soon? yeah. it just seemed to last forever, seemed to go on and on and on. and nobody were coming, so ijust kept trying to talk tojohn. he kept saying, "i'm not going to... #2..i'm going to die." #..i'm going to die."

i kept saying, "no, you're not." and then got a barrier — a metal barrier — and then put him on that went went round to the lift. wouldn't fit in the lift, so i had to go back and go down the stairs. not one paramedic attended tojohn inside the arena. he was carried out on a makeshift stretcher to a casualty area outside. ron left him after an hour, thinking he'd be ok now there were medics with him. when did you find out that john had passed away? that next day in hospital. it were on the news. i went outside. i went through some doors and... ..just broke down. the inquiry�*s heard experts saying that john had a high chance of survival? yeah. big mistakes were made at night. you're sure of that? yeah. 22 people, including teenagers and children, were murdered. the public inquiry heard that 20 of them suffered injuries, which were unsurvivable. but experts said john atkinson

could have survived with better treatment. but they couldn't agree whether eight—year—old saffie rose roussos might have lived with different care. the inquiry heard that the emergency services wholly failed to work together. the police were said to be grossly deficient. andrea bradbury says she could see that at first hand. she was at the concert to collect her daughter, but had only just retired as a counter—terrorism police officer in lancashire. so despite being injured herself, she travelled to greater manchester police headquarters. i just wanted to shout at them, "i am an inspectorfrom the counter—terrorism branch "with a vast experience in contingency planning, "and i was in the middle of it." a police officer flashed a warrant card at me. i again said, "i'm andrea bradbury, di, lancs special branch, "this is what you've got. bang, bang, bang, bang, bang." gave her a quick synopsis, and that person drove off into the sunset. what you're saying is you were

doing your best to tell them what was happening? yeah. you turned up at headquarters pretty soon after the blast... yeah. ..with a lot of information? within the hour, yeah. and what you're saying is nobody there really paid attention to what you were saying? no. no, they were all rabbits running in headlights. the manchester arena inquiry spent months examining every aspect of the emergency response to the attack. and each one of the blue light services accepted some failings, and said sorry to the bereaved and injured. personally, and on behalf of greater manchester fire and rescue service, i apologise for our woeful and unacceptable response to that incident. we let you down when you needed us the most. i would also like to acknowledge and apologise for failings by greater manchester police. nwas recognise that, in responding i to the emergency on the 22nd of may, that opportunities were missed. and for that, nwasl sincerely apologise. the manchester arena inquiry is chaired by sirjohn saunders, who's expected to be critical

of the emergency response. but he'll also make recommendations for the future, something welcomed by the bereaved families. what are the hopes for this report? it's been a long time in the coming. what do they want to see? change, because i think that's one big thing for a lot of the families, not justjohn's families, that if anything like this would happen again anywhere else, we can'tjust let the same mistakes happen again. we have to have recommendations that help other people if this was to happen again. today's report is the second of three, which are being published by the public inquiry, more than five years after the bombing, which claimed and affected so many lives. the process to understand what happened continues. judith moritz, bbc news, manchester. yes, and those harrowing reports, we will be talking about those later in the programme. speak to somebody closely involved with county

terrorism —— counterterrorism operations and look at some of the laws that may be introduced as a result. 20 minutes past six. let's take a look at today's papers. the telegraph leads with news, as we've been reporting, that the bank of england is due to raise interest rates in a bid to tackle inflation. it says the move will take rates to the highest level since 2008, and drive up mortgage repayments for millions of homeowners. the ongoing migrant crisis is featured on most of the front pages, with the guardian reporting that a group of migrants were mistakenly taken from kent and left stranded in central london without food or accommodation. the express says the home secretary is planning to expand the government's controversial scheme of sending migrants to rwanda, in a bid to ease pressure on the immigration system. the paper says suella braverman is understood to be in negotiations with three countries — peru, paraguay and belize — to process asylum claims offshore. and the mail reports that one in six uk residents are now born overseas, according to the results

of last year's census. more than ten million people living in britain started life abroad, the paper says. which way do fish look when they are swimming? in the direction they are going. they have eyes on the side of their head, so they look either side. no, they look down. you know when you are sitting on a train and there is a train next to you, yeah? and the train started moving and sometimes you feel as if you are moving. think of that. this is why fish look down. they look at the bottom of the river bed because the flow of water can disorientate them. so when they look at the river bed below they can judge how fast they are moving. and so, not to get lost. so, a researcher has been looking at this and saying that when a fish is

swimming, particularly against the current, the movement of water and debris all around can fill them into thinking they are moving forward more quickly when they are staying still. i thought the point of the fish—eye lens was that it saw everything around? yeah, but it doesn't matter where your eyes are in your head, does it?! you move, so you look down. anyway, that is the fact of the morning. fish look down when they swim. i'm not sure about that one. otherwise they wouldn't see predators, for example. if a predators, for example. if a predator was above them to the left, they wouldn't see it. they found some zebrafish surrounded by late —— led lights. they responded better to the clues at the bottom of the tank rather than above. they naturally looked down. six minutes —— 6:23am. that was the fishing news. pumpkin news now. now halloween's over, you might be wondering what to do with those spare pumpkins. many people leave them out for their local wildlife to eat. sadly, you could be doing more harm

to the animals than good. leanne rinne has more. carefully carved and positioned outside our homes every year. come rain or shine. pumpkins are a firm halloween tradition, but after all, the trick or treating is finished. an estimated eight million pumpkins will be discarded, with many dumped in woodlands, which can damage the soil and harm wildlife in particular hedgehogs. well, i think at this time of year, hedgehogs are supposed to be putting on weight for hibernation. so they'll gorge on a pumpkin. but rather than putting on weight, they'll end up losing weight by dehydrating, having diarrhoea. and then, of course, they run the risk of not surviving hibernation, which is bad for the population. when a hedgehog like this gets admitted with symptoms like diarrhoea and dehydration, it can take up to six weeks for them to be treated and get better before they're released back into the wild. the woodland trust owns and cares

for more than 1000 areas of woodland across the uk, and every halloween they have to collect and dispose of the pumpkins left by people who think they're doing a good thing for the environment. when pumpkins are dumped into the woods and they're left on the ground, they can actually, when they break down, it affects the make up of the soil, which then has a knock on effect on fungi and plants in the woodland. we don't let it get to that stage as the woodland trust. we have site managers on site that will come along and clean up these pumpkins. but as a charity doing this, it takes time and it takes money, which could be better used for our work in restoring ancient woodland, planting new woodland. wildlife and conservation charities are now urging people to recycle their pumpkins at home from soup to bird feeders instead of leaving them on the ground to rot

and seriously harm our wildlife. lianne rennie, bbc news. pumpkin soup. very nice. roasted pumpkin. pumpkin soup is delicious. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london, i'm alison earle. the father of a boy whose murder was plotted on social media has said there should be "no more excuses" for delaying an online safety bill. 13—year—old olly stephens was killed injanuary last year by three other teenagers who organised the attack using online platforms. the bill was due to be debated this week. it was also put on hold over the summer. the government insists protecting children on the internet remains a priority. but olly�*s dad says it's disappointing. law changes aren't coming quick enough, and children are dying because of it.

this needs to be passed, full stop. no more excuses. our laws are out of date. they need to catch up with social media. and to be a teenager now is just terrifying. parents and children in east london held a second protest last night to stop the removal of traffic calming measures in bow. campaigners from chisenhale school say the move would make the area unsafe, noisy, and polluted. tower hamlets council said they're now looking at "alternative measures to maintain safety" without the need for road closures. if you're heading to the post office over the next few weeks you may spot these. royal mail has released their latest christmas stamps. the collection, which features scenes from the nativity, marks the end of an era, as the queen's silhouette will appear for the last time after more than 50 years. let's take a look at the tubes now.

there's no service on the bakerloo line between queen's park and harrow & wealdstone. there's no service on the district line between turnham green and richmond. there's no service on the overground between surrey quays and clapham junction / west croydon / crystal palace. severe delays on the elizabeth line, and minor delays on the metropolitan line. now the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. a very wet start this morning and there is more rain to come. the met office has a yellow weather warning in place for the heavy rain through this morning and into the afternoon. it is slow—moving and the wind is light, but gradually it starts to creep away eastwards and we could get some showers to follow but also some bright and sunny spells by the end of the afternoon. temperatures, 13 celsius today. overnight, again, a few showers maybe but to the north of london we are looking at largely dry skies. however, to the south, outbreaks of rain are more cloud. minimum temperatures dropping to six celsius. for tomorrow, it is looking dry and clear. you can see waiting in the wings though our next low pressure system, but plenty of sunshine around for friday. a brief bit of respite

with temperatures reaching a maximum again of 13 celsius. it will be a chilly night overnight friday into saturday, and we could locally see a touch of ground frost. of course, the weekend, bonfire night on saturday, we do have a couple of fronts heading in our direction and bringing outbreaks of rain through the afternoon and into the evening but the temperature during the evening and overnight is a lot milder than friday into saturday. temperatures remain similar, and next weekjust getting a touch mild again. if you missed the switch on of oxford street's christmas lights — you can see it on our website or instagram. that's it for now, i'm back in half an hour. hello, this is breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. coming up on today's programme, the broadcasting legend sir michael parkinson will be on the sofa to chat about his greatest sporting memories. the double olympic swimming champion, becky adlington,

joins us to talk about how soaring energy costs could close dozens of pools, leisure centres and gyms this winter. and with many public firework displays cancelled this weekend, we're looking at how communities are celebrating bonfire night in other ways. let's return to the news that the bank of england is expected to raise interest rates today, to their highest level in 1a yea rs. hannah is out in derby this morning talking to businesses. hannah, what more can you tell us? interest rates affect their housing market and the knock—on implication when it comes to mortgages. good morning. when it comes to mortgages. good morninu. ., , ., , ., morning. lots of people wandering with everything _ morning. lots of people wandering with everything happening - morning. lots of people wandering with everything happening in - morning. lots of people wandering with everything happening in the l with everything happening in the mortgage market whether now is the right time to buy or not, but if you come along here we have plenty of properties on display at this estate

agent in derby for people looking to buy or move around here. we are expecting the interest rates to go up expecting the interest rates to go up again today. the benchmark rate is currently 2.2% and it's predicted to go up to 3% and if it does, that would be the biggest single increase in more than 30 years. the reason is to try and bring down inflation and the cost of living is currently rising up more than 10% per year. the bank of england would prefer the figure to be more like 2% and the idea is by making it more expensive tomorrow it takes money out of peoples pockets and gives us less to spend and brings down prices come down as well. most people will see the impact through their mortgages. there are millions more on fixed

term deals, and the vast majority of people with mortgages on those fixed term deals who will see the impact of today and recent interest rate rises when their time, is to renegotiate and they could see their mortgage payments going up by hundreds of pounds. the average two—year fixed deal is now almost three times as high as it was a year ago, at 6.47%, the highest since 2008. i've been speaking to people a bit about what they are anticipating on what they want to hear from today's announcement. asa as a retired person, if investments go as a retired person, if investments 9° up, as a retired person, if investments go up, that is good but for a lot of other things it will be more problematic. children's mortgages, hopefully they have budgeted properly, but i'm sure the bank of mum and dad might come into it again. this mum and dad might come into it aaain. �* . . mum and dad might come into it aain. �*,., ., , mum and dad might come into it aaain. ., , ., ., again. as a heavy borrower, that will have a _ again. as a heavy borrower, that will have a real _ again. as a heavy borrower, that will have a real impact _ again. as a heavy borrower, that will have a real impact on - again. as a heavy borrower, that will have a real impact on our .

ball going wide. in this sport, men and women play together, and two of the teams five players can be non—disabled. indoors and on wheels, they play rugby league with tries it produces different things and different friendships that you'd never dream of doing, like for me, personally, i'm an able—bodied player and i got injured whilst i was playing running rugby and got involved through that way. i've met some incredible people and i'm so grateful that we are part of the sport. this is a wheelchair sport, not a disabled sport, so anybody can be in a wheelchair and play the sport. people who are full—time wheelchair users are using all those muscles all the time. people that are walking around, we don't use those arm muscles. so, they've already got that advantage, so we're not taking anyone's space. we are working just as hard, if not harder. the fact that men, women and people

with and without disabilities play and intriguing sports in the world, but now as it looks to grow, in the long run, we want to take it to the paralympics but you can't have able—bodied people playing, so they will need to be a points system in place in the future. yes, i would love to see wheelchair rugby league as a paralympic sport but then you would lose the inclusivity that we have worked so hard for all these years to get. those clubs with grandfathers and grandchildren playing together. what other sport in the world gives you that sort of opportunity? i was talking to someone tonight who said the aim of wheelchair rugby league is not to get into the paralympics, it's to get it into the olympics. how amazing would that be? because then it's not a disability sport, it's just a sport. shoot for the stars. put this in the olympics, and then it is officially the most inclusive sport in the world. france and england are the favourites for this third of three world cups side by side. in wheelchair rugby league, it's a breakthrough to have this platform.

and was unable to continue, with just two and half weeks to go before england's first game. it's a blow for us on an otherwise positive evening, i think. it is a blow to see him pull up like that. it's not a great sight, so fingers crossed when we get it scanned, it isn't as bad, like you say. it can be not as severe, but we have to have fingers crossed at the moment. but clearly we are disappointed. celtic finished their campaign without a win as they were thumped 5—1 by the defending champions real madrid at the bernabeu. they finished bottom of the group. we just mentioned ben chilwell. there was also an injury to arsenal and england forward bukayo saka at the weekend and now, worrying news for south korea as the tottenham striker son heung—min faces a race to be fit for the world cup as well.

he'll need surgery to stabilise a fracture around his left eye. son suffered the injury during spurs champions league win at marseille on tuesday night. tottenham haven't put a timescale on how long he'll be out for. the tournament in qatar starts in 17 days' time. now how about this for snatching victory from the jaws of defeat. a medal looked out of reach for great britain at the world gymnastics championships untiljake jarman held his nerve, to secure a team bronze for his team with some brilliant scores? i actually don't feel very well. is the pure grit, that is the definition of pure grit, and we did not give up. we a and we did not give up. we had a on horse and nightmare on the pommel horse and kept back. it was no kept coming back. it was no one person did was teamwork 7 that is what we have lived on and that is what we have lived on for god knows how long and i love this love our supporters and this team, i love our supporters and that's all i to say. this

the crown is aiming to do. people will never understand how it's really been for me. it seems so long ago, ten years in fact, that netflix set up its strategy for success. lure in subscribers with quality, original content. 2013's shadowy political drama, house of cards, was the first big example of this. then hang on to those paying viewers with a huge selection of popular content acquired from other broadcasters. it's bridgerton. pardon me. for the most part, its plans have worked well with ever more lavish and more ambitious content. but still, for the first time in a decade, in the first half of the year, the streamer lost subscribers. the third quarter of 2022 did see

numbers increase once more, but still many asked if it was an indication that the multi—billion pound company was reaching the limits of its subscriber base. you get to a position when you are a company such as netflix that you've been growing for so long that you start to hit saturations in some of your key markets, such as the us. therefore the only way you can really sort of grow your revenues is either by increasing the price quite significantly or start to look for new revenue streams, and one of those is looking advertising. you are in no shape for this fight before us. it's not alone in deciding to bring in a two—tier subscription model. the disney+ streaming services planning to do something similar over the next year. our glories belong to the past. netflix will be hoping that the almost simultaneous release of the new and potentially controversial series of the crown, together with its new cheaper service, will result in a significant revenue boost. how did it come to this?

which is going to go onto these trees here. and this will project one massive show. here in cardiff, a local charity is using lasers and a light show instead. the technology is low voltage, so kinder to pockets and to pets, by the way. so everything that we always try and do is to make things as cheap as possible for the families, especially in our area. it's not an affluent area. you know, we understand that. so we want to make sure that they get the best value for their money as they possibly can. from fright night to fireworks night, it's a busy season at the avon valley adventure and wildlife park between bristol and bath. their displays are going ahead over two nights this year instead of the usual three. but still, it's a challenge. from a business perspective, we struggled to get through covid. all of our sales this year have been last minute, whereas last year i think people were desperate to get out, desperate to do something.

and so we were going into this with our eyes open, being a bit wary about it, but hoping that people would come out and have a good night. and that's what we're seeing so far. ticket sales are good. so this one here will fire those flames. just that one with the green? yeah, just that one there. yeah. modern displays are computer controlled, ensuring safety and a coordinated spectacle of music and lighting. but costs, especially of fireworks, are increasing dramatically. almost doubled some of the prices of the products. the shipping costs over the last two years, it's gone exponentially. it's just gone through the roof. there are a lot of companies around that are just, theyjust can't get the products in. so they're they're cancelling it or they're changing to sort of drone shows, or they're changing to light shows, or they'rejust doing a big bonfire. it's, you know, it's difficult. so. hi, guys. how's it going? fine. yeah. so you're looking forward

to the bonfire night? where costs have led to cancellations, here in leeds, for example, this community pub is stepping after the covid and everything, i think people's mental health, everywhere at the moment, and i think people needed something to encourage them to come out in a safe way and also enjoy themselves. but there are concerns about safety. last year, the london fire brigade saw a 60% increase in callouts. and officers fear the number could increase with people seeking alternatives to organized displays. so we're looking to people in our communities to work with us and just try and stay safe on this bonfire night and over the fireworks week and if possible, attend a proper display. and if you are having fireworks at home, please use them safely. and there's information on our website and on all fire and rescue websites on how to use fireworks safely. a spectacular display can be a distraction, a chance for some precious time

with family and friends, and a chance, if only for one evening, to replace cost of living gripes and groans with the happier sounds of oohs and ahs. john maguire, bbc news. later on this morning, broadcasting legend, sir michael parkinson will be here on the sofa talking about his passion for sport, and i think a lot of us may be remember some of his interviews, and obviously this is mohamed ali, with huge sporting stars, but his new book is about where his passion for sport came from as a young man, and throughout his life. �* ., , from as a young man, and throughout his life. . .,, . .~' from as a young man, and throughout his life. . .,, . a ., his life. and it was cricket that was his passion, _ his life. and it was cricket that was his passion, and - his life. and it was cricket that was his passion, and he - his life. and it was cricket that i was his passion, and he actually started out as a sports journalist, a printjournalist and started writing about cricket. you meet these characters that were in his

it's also caused issues at finchley road station and on the a40. the a41 hendon way is blocked northbound between childs hill and the brent cross flyover. there's also no service on southwestern railway between fulwell and shepperton. the father of a boy whose murder was plotted on social media, has said there should be no more excuses for delaying an online safety bill. 13—year—old olly stephens was killed in january last year by three other teenagers who organised the attack using online platforms. the bill was due to be debated this week. it was also put on hold over the summer. the government insists protecting children on the internet remains a priority. but olly�*s dad says it's disappointing. law changes aren't coming quick enough, and children are dying because of it. this needs to be passed, full stop. no more excuses. our laws are out of date. they need to catch up with social media. and to be a teenager

now is just terrifying. if you're heading to the post office over the next few weeks, you may spot these. royal mail has released their latest christmas stamps. the collection, which features scenes from the nativity, marks the end of an era, as the queen's silhouette will appear for the last time after more than 50 years. travel now, and this is how the tubes are looking. now the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. a very wet start this morning and there is more rain to come. the met office has a yellow weather warning in place for the heavy rain through this morning and into the afternoon. it is slow—moving and the wind is light, but gradually it starts to creep away eastwards and we could get some showers to follow but also some bright and sunny spells by the end of the afternoon.

temperatures, 13 celsius today. overnight, again, a few showers maybe but to the north of london we are looking at largely dry skies. however, to the south, outbreaks of rain and more cloud. minimum temperatures dropping to six celsius. for tomorrow, it is looking dry and clear. you can see waiting in the wings though our next low pressure system, but plenty of sunshine around for friday. a brief bit of respite with temperatures reaching a maximum again of 13 celsius. it will be a chilly night overnight friday into saturday, and we could locally see a touch of ground frost. of course, the weekend, bonfire night on saturday, we do have a couple of fronts heading in our direction and bringing outbreaks of rain through the afternoon and into the evening but the temperature during the evening and overnight is a lot milder than friday into saturday. temperatures remain similar, and next weekjust getting a touch mild again. update on the flooding on bbc radio london. if you missed the switch on of oxford street's christmas lights,

you can see it on our website or instagram. that's it for now. i'm back in half an hour. good morning, welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. our headlines today. interest rates are expected to hit their highest level for 14 years, as the bank of england tries to curb soaring inflation.

good morning. 1.6 million people have a mortgage is directly tied to today's interest rate rise, and millions more will feel the knock—on impact. we will take a look at why it is happening and what it means for you. the manchester arena bombing — a new report will focus on the response of the emergency services and whether lives could have been saved. sink or swim — how dozens of pools and gyms are closing because of soaring energy costs. we'll talk to double olympic swimming champion, becky adlington. you can see mike there. he is at the rugby league world cup, of course. looking ahead to event their coming up looking ahead to event their coming up this week. and in weather, we are looking at a where to start to the day across many southern and eastern areas. that rain will be slow to clear from the south—east later. behind it,

sunshine and showers, with the wind picking up in the south—west later. details later. good morning. it's thursday, the 3rd of november. the bank of england is expected to increase interest rates to at least 3% today — the highest level for 14 years. the decision could push up mortgage payments further for millions of customers. our correspondent navtej johal has this report. omar is a veterinary surgeon based in derby. he came to the uk four years ago, and had planned to buy a home and settle here long term. with interest rates here expected to rise further today, which is likely to make mortgages more expensive, omar says he's now considering whether he should even stay in the uk. have you lost trust in the uk? i trust my colleagues, i trust my friends, i trust a lot of people in the uk, and it shook my trust in the system. and you may move, you may leave the country?

yes. the bank of england sets interest rates for the uk. at the moment they are 2.25%, but are expected to increase later today, possibly up to 3%, in an attempt to deal with rising inflation, which is the rate at which prices are going up. this will affect savers and borrowers, including people with existing mortgages and first—time buyers. becky was hoping to buy her first house in derby with her partner. we were working it out and thinking, yeah, we can do this. with the rates now, we're a lot more hesitant. you're just banging your head up against a brick wall, like, where do i go from here, what's the answer, what's the solution? and right now, i genuinely don't know the answer to that question. jay runs a music venue in the city. he's a homeowner who's worried about his repayments jumping massively in a few months' time. it's going to increase by about 4%. at the moment, i'm looking at around about £150 a month increase on my monthly payment.

the basic things that people need is a roof over the head, to be able to keep warm and to be able to eat. and it feels like all three elements there are being attacked by what's going on in the economy. despite the recent rises in interest rates, people are still getting or renewing their mortgage here in derby and across the country. but perhaps even more elusive than a decent mortgage deal at the moment is some level of certainty about what comes next. michelle has worked in the mortgage industry for more than 20 years. she says she's never seen anything like the current situation. i want to see some stability in the market. i'd love to see them kind of say, right, well, we've put it up 1%, but that's it. you know, for six months. for eight months, you know, for a year, you know, let'sjust give people a bit of stability so they know where they are. in the meantime, there will be plenty watching what the bank of england decides to do later today and bracing themselves for what the next

few months may hold. navtaonhal, bbc news derby. hannah is in derby for us this morning. taking a look at the impact of these potential interest rate rises will have. i am a little jealous you get a cushions on your red self and we don't get cushions and ours. i think i will make a complaint later! i will make a complaint later! i might have to sit down after this interest rate announcement comes through later today. we are expecting interest rates to go up again. they have been going up since december last year. the benchmark rate is currently 2.25%. and it's rate is currently 2.25%. and its expected that is likely to be raised by the bank of england to 3% today. that is 0.7% —— by the bank of england to 3% today. that is 0.7% -- 0.75 by the bank of england to 3% today. that is 0.7% —— 0.75 percentage point increase would be the biggest

increase since 1989. the idea is by raising the cost of borrowing, it gives people less money to spend, takes money out of their pockets, and that brings down prices because people can't afford to be spending quite so much on all other kinds of essentials. that is a difficult message to tell to anyone who is feeling the squeeze already at the moment, but it is worth saying that interest rates are going up in america and in europe as well. about 1.6 million people have mortgages that are variable or tracker mortgages, tied directly to today's interest rate announcement. and millions more, the vast majority of people, are on fixed rate deals, who will see their repayments likely increase quite significantly when their time comes to renegotiate. some people seen their monthly payments going up by hundreds of pounds. the big question today is how high will interest rates eventually go to? that has been previously said that the benchmark rate could go up as high as 5% bite next year. the bank of england will

be making a prediction on that when it makes its announcement at 12 o'clock today, which is also when we will be getting the decision. and oh, thank you. we look forward to that. it will be covered on the bbc, online and on the bbc news channel. home secretary suella braverman is under mounting pressure to try and resolve the growing migrant crisis. the government has confirmed it's facing a possible legal challenge over the way the manston migrant processing centre in kent has been run. our political correspondent, ben wright, is in westminster. good morning. we have an ongoing situation, and immediate practical problem, but also a big political row, and we have the albanian prime minister also involves? yes, good morning. the albanian government has heard some of the rhetoric flying around the uk in recent days and has piled in. the albanian prime minister, who we will hearfrom any minute, albanian prime minister, who we will hear from any minute, isn't the only

person who think there is a real problem in the immigration and asylum system here. just yesterday, the prime minister himself, rishi sunak, said there was an escalating and serious problem. the home secretary has talked about the system being broken. it is on several fronts. system being broken. it is on severalfronts. there is the system being broken. it is on several fronts. there is the fact the number of small boats crossing the number of small boats crossing the channel has increased this year, about 40,000 so far. of numbers, a quarter of the people are coming from albania. there has been a lot of rhetoric about criminal gangs and the fact that some of those people, the fact that some of those people, the government doesn't consider should be making that crossing it all in the first place. now, last night on newsnight, the albanian prime minister, edi rama, reacted to what he has been hearing. it is about the climate that has been created. it is about finding scapegoats and blaming others, while it is very obvious even from tirana, which is not near london, that it is about failed policies.

it is not about albanians or aliens or gangsters, but it is about failed policies on borders and crime. 0f of the albanians who have arrived in the uk seeking asylum, more than half have been granted a successful application, the right to stay. that is quite a lot. clearly, people processing these claims thinks that many of the albanians arriving to have a legitimate claim for asylum. but this is feeling an argument about the distinction between economic migrants and refugees. it is putting a spotlight on the fact there is a massive backlog in dealing with asylum claims in the uk right now. it takes about 14 months to process some of these applications. there are specific problems around the manston site, of course. there are still about 3500 people being held there, far more thanit people being held there, far more than it was designed for. and a parliamentary committee, for a parliamentary committee, for a

parliamentary committee, for a parliamentary committee chairs, clearing two tories, have expressed their grave concerns about the situation and demanded some solutions to these problems quite urgently from the home secretary. thank you. north and south korea have fired a number of missiles into waters near each other�*s coasts, in a marked escalation of hostilities. our south east asia correspondent jonathan head joins us now from south korea's capital seoul. there were a series of missiles fired. some reports of one landing not so farfrom fired. some reports of one landing not so far from south korea's coast? yeah, today we have had three missiles launched, won an intercontinental ballistic missile, a long—range one, although they didn't send it a long way. the japanese thought it would come their way, but it appears to have come vertically down from space, probably testing re—entry technology, which is what they need if they are going to launch missiles as far away as the united states. yesterday we had 23 missile tests in one day. the most ever. what matters about these

missile tests is, we have had them before. if you go back five years when there were other periods of tension, they were a lot of these sorts of things. north korea's nuclear capability is greater now. they have a far bigger range of missiles. and their nuclear technology, their weapons technology, their weapons technology, is also presumed to be advancing. we have not had a test for five years but we are expecting another one. the worry is maybe the north korean leader is trying to send a message, maybe he has got problems at home, but if he is more confident, he might try something bolder and miscalculate. then there is the risk of a response. you have the united states, a big ally of south korea, holding big air exercises here at the moment, extending those exercises to remind the north koreans it would be a terrible —— there would be a terrible —— there would be a terrible retaliation if there is any kind of attack, please don't. but you can misjudge leaders and they may do something you don't expect them to. 0k. them to. ok. we will keep an eye on how this

progresses. thank you so much. 11 minutes past seven, thursday morning. time to find out about the weather. carol has all the details. good morning. we have had some torrential rain as we have gone through the course of the night. these rainfall totals ending at six o'clock this morning. only ham in hampshire, 39 millilitres. in excess of an inch and a half of rain. if you are travelling this morning, huge puddles and a lot of standing water to watch out for. this rain in the south—east is going to take its time to clear. behind it you can see this weapon of cloud. that cloud will be thick enough to produce showers. showers in the south—west of wales, getting into part of northern ireland. in between, bright skies. northern england saying those showers. the winds lighter than yesterday. on the far north of scotland is still quite gusty. into

the afternoon, the rain still stoked to tear correct slow to clear the extreme south—east. a pile of showers in wales and south—west indian. here they went will strengthen as we go into the evening and overnight. with all those showers pushing down to the south coast. it is going to be a cold night. a touch of frost in central and eastern areas. tomorrow, eventually we say goodbye to this rain in the south—east. high pressure takes charge. it will be dry, it will be fine, they will be sunshine, the winds will be lighter. a few showers in from the north—west. temperatures ranging from nine to 13 degrees. nana. naga! sorry. you say that every time. i come and visit you and bring you a cup of tea. i think nanna is a phantom producer who just make up so you can abuse me by mispronouncing my name! oh, the shame, naga! nanna is very

much alive and kicking. and very lovely as well. i have met nanna. you have very lucky to have such a lovely producer, especially when you behave so badly. oh, you are awful, but i like you. tell us more about nanna. he is tall, handsome, young, he's very capable. i hope it is to this! i think you have given a bit more away than you meant to do there, carol. no, i didn't. carol. no, ididn't. it carol. no, i didn't. it is all true. 14 minutes past seven. sports centres are a lifeline for community groups, charities and families, but there are fears many will shut for the winter as they struggle with energy costs. one major provider closed a pool in east sussex this week, and bosses there are worried more could follow. our sports news correspondent, laura scott, has more. lift it up. ok, guys, well done. a lunchtime aqua aerobics class that means much more than simply

exercise for this group of swimmers. come on, guys. through the water. push it through. for peter, whose wife has dementia, it's some precious time to himself. janet says it's vital for herjoints, while maureen says it helps her mental health. but rye sports centre is shutting the pool for the winter, because energy bills have jumped. and there was a wave of emotion as it sunk in this week's class was the last for a while, perhaps ever. this class clearly means a lot to you, doesn't it? well, i've been coming, what, ten years or more? yeah. peter's been coming 16. for us, it's physical. it's just being with everybody else, and sort of the mental side of it, . and your health issues. i had a back operation in november, |and this is what they told me to do. | this was a vital lifeline for a lot of people to keep them fit, to keep them healthy, to keep them moving.

and a lot of them are just going to not do anything. i mean, i know it's a money thing and i wish i could back it, but i couldn't. i can't even back myself. the operator of this pool says the increased costs of maintaining it amount to nearly £92,000, and they say they simply cannot absorb that, and so are temporarily shutting its doors. but they've come under fierce criticism from those who use it, and in many cases, depend on it. despite benefiting from the government's energy bill relief scheme, the physical activity sector is feeling the squeeze, with a recent ukactive survey of public sector operators, shared exclusively with the bbc, revealing that leisure services are expected to be cut in 40% of the uk's council areas in the next five months. let's go. with pools being among the most expensive facilities to run, swim england have warned that more than 100 pools could be under threat in the next six months, a concern echoed by the man who took

what he described as a difficult decision to close this one. we've had to make changes right across the country. we've got 108 leisure centres and over 60 pools. and within that entire stock, what we're having to do is we're having to look at reducing temperatures. we're having to look at price increases we put in place, all sorts of energy saving measures. and fundamentally, we're also looking at our entire cost base. public sector leisure is absolutely at a crisis point at present, and this could be the tip of the iceberg. i really, genuinely hope this facility reopens. but what i actually fear is that actually more facilities will close. and that's notjust from us, that's across the whole industry, from talking to all my colleagues in other organisations, this is an issue notjust in the prime minister's inbox, but on his doorstep. in rishi sunak�*s own constituency in north yorkshire, richmondshire leisure trust said its energy costs have recently increased by over 400% across three sites, which it says is putting huge pressures on its ability to provide much valued services.

stark decisions are already being made as the affordability and accessibility of sport comes under increasing strain, and authorities warn of a darker period ahead. laura scott, bbc news, rye. we have got a brilliant double olympic swimming champion becky adlington with us. what we were doing there was a reminiscing our memories in the pool while we were children. the one you've learned to swim out has been named after you. yes, i still call it sure would pass —— showed bath is. yes, i still call it sure would pass -- showed bath is.— -- showed bath is. people of a certain age _ -- showed bath is. people of a certain age will— -- showed bath is. people of a certain age will remember. - -- showed bath is. people of a certain age will remember. it i -- showed bath is. people of al certain age will remember. it is still there. but i'll post it, you are very aware of the pressure? it is the heating of the pull, the lighting, the hours as well. what are you witnessing?—

which is intended to make social media platforms safer, was delayed from coming into force for a second time. the bill aims to prevent the spread of illegal content and activity such as images of child abuse, terrorist material and hate crimes, including racist abuse. it's also designed to protect children from harmful material generated by online algorithms, as well as protect adults from legal, but harmful, content. with more, here's our reporter nikki mitchell. the field where olly was stabbed to death is only a few hundred metres from his home, just outside reading. there is a memorial tree and bench here to remember him. it is where i spoke to his dad, stuart, earlier this week, and what would have been olly�*s birthday. he this week, and what would have been 0lly's birthday-— olly's birthday. he would have been 15 toda . olly's birthday. he would have been 15 today- last _ olly's birthday. he would have been 15 today. last night _ olly's birthday. he would have been 15 today. last night was _ olly's birthday. he would have been 15 today. last night was tough - 15 today. last night was tough because, obviously, you are building up because, obviously, you are building up to the day itself, so your head goes a bit. he was only 13 for a few

weeks. two years ago today i was making his desk for his bedroom. he wanted of the gaming set up. i don't have the understanding of the technology to do all that, but that's why we are here, because we didn't understand the technology available to them. but yeah, i went and sat in his room this morning just to, well, just to be with him a little bit. but that is getting really hard to do now. you would think it would get easier as time goes on but it doesn't. it brings all the feelings straight back. i would often go into his room if i wanted a giggle because he would do was make you laugh. i can't not talk about him and not smile because that is what he did. that about him and not smile because that is what he did-— is what he did. that is who he was. the children _ is what he did. that is who he was. the children who _ is what he did. that is who he was. the children who killed _ is what he did. that is who he was. the children who killed olly - is what he did. that is who he was. | the children who killed olly weren't part of his social group. but they used social media to hook him in, bully him and plod their murderous attack. stuart and his wife and want tougher laws to protect children online. they've campaigned hard to

parents and children in east london held a second protest last night to stop the removal of traffic calming measures in bow. campaigners from chisenhale school say the move would make the area unsafe, noisy, and polluted. tower hamlets council said they're now looking at "alternative measures to maintain safety" without the need for road closures. grade one listed stately home was reduced to a charred shell in 2015. there are now plans to leave most of the interior as it is and build suspended walkways and platforms for visitors, but campaigners want the building to be returned to its original state. if you're heading to the post office over the next few weeks

you may spot these. royal mail has released their latest christmas stamps. the collection, which features scenes from the nativity —— marks the end of an era, as the queen's silhouette will appear for the last time after more than 50 years. travel now and this is how the tubes are looking. there's no service on the piccadilly line between acton town and uxbridge. there's no service on the bakerloo line between queen's park and harrow & wealdstone. there's no service on the district line between turnham green and richmond. there's no service on the overground between surrey quays and clapham junction and sydenham and west croydon. severe delays on the elizabeth line and minor delays on the metropolitan line now the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. a very wet start this morning and there is more rain to come. the met office has a yellow weather warning in place for the heavy rain through this morning and into the afternoon. it is slow—moving and the wind is light, but gradually it starts to creep away eastwards and we could get some showers to follow but also some bright and sunny spells by the end of the afternoon. temperatures, 13 celsius today. overnight, again, a few showers maybe but to the north of london we are looking at largely dry skies.

however, to the south, outbreaks of rain and more cloud. minimum temperatures dropping to six celsius. for tomorrow, it is looking dry and clear. you can see waiting in the wings though our next low pressure system, but plenty of sunshine around for friday. a brief bit of respite with temperatures reaching a maximum again of 13 celsius. it will be a chilly night overnight friday into saturday, and we could locally see a touch of ground frost. of course, the weekend, bonfire night on saturday, we do have a couple of fronts heading in our direction and bringing outbreaks of rain through the afternoon and into the evening but the temperature during the evening and overnight is a lot milder than friday into saturday. temperatures remain similar, and next weekjust getting a touch mild again. if you missed the switch on of oxford street's christmas lights — you can see it on our website or instagram. that's it for now, i'm back in an hour. hello, this is breakfast

good morning, welcome to breakfast

with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. our headlines today. interest rates are expected to hit their highest level for 14 years, as the bank of england tries to curb soaring inflation. good morning. 1.6 million people have a mortgage is directly tied to today's announcement and millions more will be affected. i will be taking a look at why it is happening and what it means for you. the manchester arena bombing — a new report will focus on the response of the emergency services and whether lives could have been saved. good morning from the copper box arena, where the stage is set for the wheelchair rugby league world cup. while at the gymnastics world championships in liverpool, it's bronze for great britain, who pull off a remarkable comeback. legendary chat show host sir michael parkinson will be here to talk about his greatest sporting heroes. good morning.

the heavy overnight rain and blustery winds will slowly clear from the south—east through today. behind it, we return to sunshine and showers. later, the wind will pick up showers. later, the wind will pick up the south—west. details later. good morning. it's thursday, the 3rd of november. our main story. the bank of england is expected to increase interest rates to at least 3% today — the highest level for 14 years. the decision could push up mortgage payments further for millions of customers. our correspondent navtej johal has this report. omar is a veterinary surgeon based in derby. he came to the uk four years ago, and had planned to buy a home and settle here long term. with interest rates here expected to rise further today, which is likely to make mortgages more expensive, omar says he's now considering whether he should even stay in the uk.

have you lost trust in the uk? i trust my colleagues, i trust my friends, i trust a lot of people in the uk, it shook my trust in the system. and you may move, you may leave the country? sure, sure. the bank of england sets interest rates for the uk. at the moment they are 2.25%, but are expected to increase later today, possibly up to 3%, in an attempt to deal with rising inflation, which is the rate at which prices are going up. this will affect savers and borrowers, including people with existing mortgages and first—time buyers. becky was hoping to buy her first house in derby with her partner. we were working it out and thinking, yeah, we can do this. with the rates now, we're a lot more hesitant. you're just banging your head up against a brick wall, like, where do i go from here, what's the answer, what's the solution? and right now, i genuinely don't know the answer to that question. jay runs a music venue in the city.

he's a homeowner who's worried about his repayments jumping massively in a few months' time. it's going to increase by about 4%. at the moment, i'm looking at around about £150 a month increase on my monthly payment. the basic things that people need is a roof over their head, to be able to keep warm and to be able to eat. and it feels like all three elements there are being attacked by what's going on in the economy. despite the recent rises in interest rates, people are still getting or renewing their mortgage here in derby and across the country. but perhaps even more elusive than a decent mortgage deal at the moment is some level of certainty about what comes next. michelle has worked in the mortgage industry for more than 20 years. she says she's never seen anything like the current situation. i want to see some stability in the market. i'd love to see them kind of say, right, well, we've put it up 1%, but that's it.

you know, for six months. for eight months, you know, for a year, you know, let'sjust give people a bit of stability so they know where they are. in the meantime, there will be plenty watching what the bank of england decides to do later today and bracing themselves for what the next few months may hold. navtejjohal, bbc news, derby. let's talk about some of the practical implications. hannah is in derby for us this morning. and of course, anybody with a mortgage, anybody whose rate may go up, and the housing market itself, all could be affected by what happens today? yeah. it is in places like this that interest rates are a hot topic. they make a huge difference to people looking to buy or to move. we are expecting to see the bank of england raised the baseline rate from 2.25% of to 3%. if that happens, it would

be the biggest rise in the base rate since 1989. and the reason why this is happening is that higher interest rates make it more expensive to borrow money, notjust on mortgages but on credit cards as well, which means there is a sensory less money for us all to spend, which in turn can bring down prices. raising the interest rate will bring the number down. the bank of england would like to see inflation, the cost of living, as it is going up. there are about 1.6 million people who have their mortgage directly tied to today's interest rate rise. there will be millions more who will be impacted by this as their fixed rate deals come to an end. and of the big question really is, how high these

interest rates are expecting to go interest rates are expecting to go in time? we heard people therejust in time? we heard people there just wanting some certainty. we have heard before that interest rates could go as high as 5%, perhaps, by next year. we will get a new bank of england prediction of that figure could look like when they also make their announcement on today's rate at 12 o'clock. hannah, thank you very much. we will get that right decision that well. that will be covered live on the bbc. you can see analysis and help, if you like hints and tips, and dealing with the cost of doing crisis, on the bbc website. home secretary suella braverman is under mounting pressure to try to resolve the growing migrant crisis. the government confirmed it's facing a possible legal challenge over the way the manston migrant processing centre in kent has been run. our political correspondent, ben wright, is in westminster. you know the thing is, ben, pmqs

happen, comments are made by politicians, and the media picks up and examines the impact of what has been said. you know it is bigger than the uk when it spreads far and wide over the channel, into mainland europe? yeah. good morning, naga. the crisis in the immigration system and asylum here is being noticed beyond britain. yesterday at prime minister's questions. rishi sunak accepted there was a serious problem here. ministers say the system is broken. there has been a lot of focus on the last few days on people arriving from albania on small boats into england. the home secretary, suella braverman, earlier this week, talked about albanians, in her view, abusing the system, trafficking laws coming from criminal gangs in albania. albanians do make up a large portion of those who have arrived this year. 12,000 of the

40,000 who have arrived. but edie rama, the albanian prime minister, has had enough and was furious yesterday when he spoke to newsnight. it is about the climate that has been created. it is about finding scapegoats and blaming others, while it is very obvious even from tirana, which is not near london, that it is about failed policies. it is not about albanians or aliens or gangsters, but it is about failed policies on borders and crime. now of course if somebody makes an asylum claim, that needs to be considered. last year, just over half of albanians who put in an asylum claim in the uk had that accepted. this isjust one part of asylum claim in the uk had that accepted. this is just one part of a number of overlapping problems the government is grappling with the moment. there is a massive backlog in dealing with asylum applications. there is huge pressure on the

centres where people are being kept. an advanced and there are still 3500 people there, far more than the place was designed for. councillors in kent have said the situation is at breaking point. several parliamentary committee chairs, including two conservatives, have said the government needs to urgently get a grip on this situation. there is huge pressure right now, naga, and the government to match some of its rhetoric and dealing with the situation, and come up dealing with the situation, and come up with some practical solutions. dealing with the situation, and come up with some practical solutior the

lizo mzimba, bbc news. well, talking of drama, let's talk to carol and see what dramas he is going to bring us with the weather. that could be a dramatic walk along the beach, couldn't it? it certainly could. it is a fab picture as well that tells the story. good morning. we have had some torrential rainfall during the night. 39 millimetres in odiham. for north hold, that figure is half the november average. it fell injust12 hours. at is half the november average. it fell in just 12 hours. at kew gardens, it is over half the monthly average. what we have got is a line of rain still with us. very sought to clear from the south—east. behind it, sunshine and showers. gusty in the north and around that winds in the north and around that band deep —— band of rain. in the more showers in north 75, ..and . 7??? and the z and the south—west. z and the south—west. in s and the south—west. in the evening you will

itjust! it just! 14 minutes past itjust! 14 minutes past eight. five years after the bomb attack at manchester arena which claimed the lives of 22 people, the second of three official reports will be published later today. it will look at the emergency services' response to the terror attack, and whether two of the victims might have survived if help had arrived more quickly. one of the firefighters has told the bbc that the response had been embarrassing and shameful. judith moritz reports. breaking news out of greater manchester. 22nd of may, 2017. late at night, a major incident is announced. there have been, confirmed, a number of fatalities following reports of an explosion at manchester arena. sirens screeched towards the scene... start making your way towards the city centre, please! ..but the police were in disarray. paramedics mostly stayed out of the blast area, and the fire service didn't respond

at all for more than two hours. firefighters were held back at a station three miles away. we just waited and waited for instruction. this firefighter, speaking anonymously, for fear of losing hisjob. so, as time and time went on, it was more embarrassing, and more and more frustrating, because you hear reports of people were dying. there were people getting ferried to hospitals all over the north west. and then there's the feeling of guilt — well, maybe if i did something. even so small, you know, you can hold your head up high. but to stand there and then do nothing all that time, it was embarrassing. shameful. the arena was full of young people who'd been at an ariana grande concert. moments after the performance ended, the bomb went off in the foyer area known as the city room. failings in the emergency response meant that members of the public

had to step in. people like ron blake, himself injured, who could see that the man next to him was badly hurt. what did you notice about him? just the blood... ..with a, like a trail. so, ijust went to see how he were. he was talking, told me his name and all that. asked him where he were from. so he communicated. in less than a minute of that explosion, you rang 999, didn't you? yeah. john atkinson was the man ron was trying to help. his legs were bleeding heavily. on the way down, i remembered my wife had a belt on, so i asked her to give me the belt.

ron tied the belt tightly around john's leg to slow the bleeding. we know you did that for the best part of an hour? yeah. you thought help would be soon? yeah. it just seemed to last forever, seemed to go on and on and on. and nobody were coming, so ijust kept trying to talk tojohn. he kept saying, "i'm not going to... "..i'm going to die." i kept saying, "no, you're not." and then got a barrier — a metal barrier — and then put him on that went went round to the lift. wouldn't fit in the lift, so i had to go back and go down the stairs. not one paramedic attended tojohn inside the arena. he was carried out on a makeshift stretcher to a casualty area outside. ron left him after an hour, thinking he'd be ok now there were medics with him. when did you find out that john had passed away? that next day in hospital. it were on the news.

i went outside. i went through some doors and... ..just broke down. the inquiry�*s heard experts saying that john had a high chance of survival? yeah. big mistakes were made at night. you're sure of that? yeah. 22 people, including teenagers and children, were murdered. the public inquiry heard that 20 of them suffered injuries, which were unsurvivable. but experts said john atkinson could have survived with better treatment. but they couldn't agree whether eight—year—old saffie rose roussos might have lived with different care. the inquiry heard that the emergency services wholly failed to work together. the police were said to be grossly deficient. andrea bradbury says she could see that at first hand. she was at the concert to collect her daughter, but had only just retired as a counter—terrorism police officer in lancashire. so despite being injured herself, she travelled to greater manchester

police headquarters. i just wanted to shout at them, "i am an inspectorfrom the counter—terrorism branch "with a vast experience in contingency planning, "and i was in the middle of it." a police officer flashed a warrant card at me. i again said, "i'm andrea bradbury, di, lancs special branch, "this is what you've got. bang, bang, bang, bang, bang." gave her a quick synopsis, and that person drove off into the sunset. what you're saying is you were doing your best to tell them what was happening? yeah. you turned up at headquarters pretty soon after the blast... yeah. ..with a lot of information? within the hour, yeah. and what you're saying is nobody there really paid attention to what you were saying? no. no, they were all rabbits running in headlights. the manchester arena inquiry spent months examining every aspect of the emergency response to the attack. and each one of the blue light services accepted some failings, and said sorry to the bereaved and injured. personally, and on behalf of greater manchester fire

and rescue service, i apologise for our woeful and unacceptable response to that incident. we let you down when you needed us the most. i would also like to acknowledge and apologise for failings by greater manchester police. nwas recognise that, in responding i to the emergency on the 22nd of may, that opportunities were missed. and for that, nwasi sincerely apologise. the manchester arena inquiry is chaired by sirjohn saunders, who's expected to be critical of the emergency response. but he'll also make recommendations for the future, something welcomed by the bereaved families. what are the hopes for this report? it's been a long time in the coming. what do they want to see? change, because i think that's one big thing for a lot of the families, not justjohn's families, that if anything like this would happen again anywhere else, we can'tjust let the same mistakes happen again. we have to have recommendations that help other people if this was to happen again.

today's report is the second of three, which are being published by the public inquiry, more than five years after the bombing, which claimed and affected so many lives. the process to understand what happened continues. judith moritz, bbc news, manchester. the time now is 822 aim. mike is not here with us this morning. that is because he is at the wheelchair rugby league world cup giving us a sense of what that will be like, because that gets under way today. we will be with mike later. it's bonfire night this weekend, but many of the large—scale public events have been cancelled as councils struggle with rising energy bills. despite the cutbacks, communities across britain are still finding ways to celebrate the occasion, as john maguire reports. the flash and bang of the rockets,

the smell of the cordite, the crunch of the toffee apple. bonfire night has been a firm family favourite for generations. but this year, it's different. and notjust because the government seems to be doing guy fawkes' work for him, but for many organised displays, the cost of living has meant fireworks night has gone up in smoke. so, joe, we need these trees to stay in full leaf, don't we? so that you can project the lasers onto them? we do. we do indeed. definitely. we've got two lasers, which is going to go onto these trees here. and this will project one massive show. here in cardiff, a local charity is using lasers and a light show instead. the technology is low voltage, so kinder to pockets and to pets, by the way. so everything that we always try and do is to make things as cheap as possible for the families, especially in our area. it's not an affluent area. you know, we understand that. so we want to make sure that they get the best value for their money as they possibly can. from fright night to

fireworks night, it's a busy season at the avon valley adventure and wildlife park between bristol and bath. their displays are going ahead over two nights this year instead of the usual three. but still, it's a challenge. from a business perspective, we struggled to get through covid. all of our sales this year have been last minute, whereas last year i think people were desperate to get out, desperate to do something. and so we were going into this with our eyes open, being a bit wary about it, but hoping that people would come out and have a good night. and that's what we're seeing so far. ticket sales are good. so this one here will fire those flames. just that one with the green? yeah, just that one there. yeah. modern displays are computer controlled, ensuring safety and a coordinated spectacle of music and lighting. but costs, especially of fireworks, are increasing dramatically.

almost doubled some of the prices of the products. the shipping costs over the last two years, it's gone exponentially. it's just gone through the roof. there are a lot of companies around that are just, theyjust can't get the products in. so they're they're cancelling it or they're changing to sort of drone shows, or they're changing to light shows, or they'rejust doing a big bonfire. it's, you know, it's difficult. so. hi, guys. how's it going? fine. yeah. so you're looking forward to the bonfire night? where costs have led to cancellations, here in leeds, for example, this community pub is stepping in. after the covid and everything, i think people's mental health, everywhere at the moment, and i think people needed something to encourage them to come out in a safe way and also enjoy themselves. but there are concerns about safety. last year, the london fire brigade saw a 60% increase in callouts. and officers fear the number could increase with people seeking alternatives to organized displays.

so we're looking to people in our communities to work with us and just try and stay safe on this bonfire night and over the fireworks week and if possible, attend a proper display. and if you are having fireworks at home, please use them safely. and there's information on our website and on all fire and rescue websites on how to use fireworks safely. a spectacular display can be a distraction, a chance for some precious time with family and friends, and a chance, if only for one evening, to replace cost of living gripes and groans with the happier sounds of oohs and ahs. john maguire, bbc news. 26 minutes past eight. we're on bbc one until quarter—past nine this morning. then it's time for morning live

good morning from bbc london, i'm alison earle. there's been disruption to major roads and public transport after heavy rain led to flooding overnight. this was the scene in whitton in richmond. it's also caused issues at finchley road. the a4! hendon way is blocked northbound at the brent cross flyover. there's also no service on southwestern railway between fulwell and shepperton. the father of a boy whose murder was plotted on social media has said there should be "no more excuses" for delaying an online safety bill. 13—year—old olly stephens was killed injanuary last year by three other teenagers who organised the attack using online platforms. the bill was due to be debated this week. it was also put on hold over the summer. the government insists protecting children on the internet remains a priority. but olly's dad says it's disappointing. law changes aren't coming quick enough, and children are dying because of it.

this needs to be passed, full stop. no more excuses. our laws are out of date. they need to catch up with social media. and to be a teenager now is just terrifying. a campaign group is urging the national trust to restore a stately home in surrey which was gutted by a fire. clandon park, which is grade i—listed , was reduced to a shell in 2015. there are now plans to leave most of the interior as it is and build suspended walkways and platforms for visitors. but campaigners 'restore trust�* want the building to be returned to its original state. travel now and this is how the tubes are looking. there's no service on the piccadilly line between acton town and uxbridge. there's no service on the bakerloo line between queen's park and harrow & wealdstone. there's no service on the district line between turnham green and richmond. there's no service on the overground between surrey quays and clapham junction and sydenham and west croydon. severe delays on the elizabeth line.

now the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. a very wet start this morning and there is more rain to come. the met office has a yellow weather warning in place for the heavy rain through this morning and into the afternoon. it is slow—moving and the wind is light, but gradually it starts to creep away eastwards and we could get some showers to follow but also some bright and sunny spells by the end of the afternoon. temperatures, 13 celsius today. overnight, again, a few showers maybe but to the north of london we are looking at largely dry skies. however, to the south, outbreaks of rain and more cloud. minimum temperatures dropping to six celsius. for tomorrow, it is looking dry and clear. you can see waiting in the wings though our next low pressure system, but plenty of sunshine around for friday. a brief bit of respite with temperatures reaching a maximum again of 13 celsius. it will be a chilly night overnight friday into saturday, and we could locally see a touch of ground frost. of course, the weekend, bonfire night on saturday, we do have a couple of fronts heading in our direction and bringing outbreaks of rain

through the afternoon and into the evening but the temperature during the evening and overnight is a lot milder than friday into saturday. temperatures remain similar, and next weekjust getting a touch mild again. that's it for now, i'm backjust after 9. hello, this is breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. let's return to the news that the bank of england is expected to raise interest rates today, to their highest level in 14 yea rs. hannah is out in derby this morning talking to businesses — you are trying to get a sense of what this will mean to people, and the housing market, but i suppose it is a significant moment, 14 years, if it's the case it goes up to 3%, that's the highest in 14 years. goad

(limp. morning. from one red sofa to another. there are plenty of properties on the market here at this estate agent, but it's in places like this that today's interest rate rise will make a difference to people coming through these doors. the benchmark rate is only 2.2% but likely to go up to 3% and if that happens it would be the biggest increase for more than 30 years. the reason why he is to try and bring down inflation. the cost of living is currently rising at more than 10% per year and the bank of england would prefer the figure to be more like 2%, so the idea is that by making it more expensive to borrow, notjust on mortgages but also credit cards, that takes money out of people's pocket means people can't afford to pay quite so much

and that helps bring prices down. most people will see the impact through mortgages. there are 1.6 million people on variable or tracker mortgage is directly tied to the decision today and there are millions more who will see the impact when they try to renegotiate their fixed term deal. impact when they try to renegotiate theirfixed term deal. the impact when they try to renegotiate their fixed term deal. the average fixed term deal is now almost three times higher than it was a year ago, 6.7%, the highest since 2008 and that leaves a lot of people wondering whether now is the right time to buy. one of the biggest financial decisions that many of us will ever make. i've been speaking to one first—time buyer about how it has affected her decision. i'm looking to buy in the near future — i'm looking to buy in the near future and _ i'm looking to buy in the near future and my partner and i have decided — future and my partner and i have decided to— future and my partner and i have decided to travelling instead. at the end — decided to travelling instead. at the end of the year, because it doesn't — the end of the year, because it doesn't seem like worth it. it's already— doesn't seem like worth it. it's already a — doesn't seem like worth it. it's already a struggle for first—time

was about £1300 per player and for a lot of people that is out of their reach, but now, what a difference. it is astronomical. it's made everybody feel like they are rugby league players, and actually are part of the sport. it really means the world to me. ball going wide. in this sport, men and women play together, and two of the teams five players can be non—disabled. indoors and on wheels, they play rugby league with tries and conversions and tackles target shoulder tacks. the youngest player here is a teenager, the oldest in his 60s and it makes for all kind of team—mates. it produces different things and different friendships that you'd never dream of doing, like for me, personally, i'm an able—bodied player and i got injured whilst i was playing running rugby and got involved through that way.

i've met some incredible people and i'm so grateful that we are part of the sport. this is a wheelchair sport, not a disabled sport, so anybody can be in a wheelchair and play the sport. people who are full—time wheelchair users are using all those muscles all the time. people that are walking around, we don't use those arm muscles. so, they've already got that advantage, so we're not taking anyone's space. we are working just as hard, if not harder. the fact that men, women and people with and without disabilities play together makes wheelchair rugby league one of the most inclusive and intriguing sports in the world, but now as it looks to grow, it may face a decision about its future. in the long run, we want to take it to the paralympics but you can't have able—bodied people playing, so they will need to be a points system in place in the future. yes, i would love to see wheelchair rugby league as a paralympic sport but then you would lose the inclusivity that we have worked so hard for all these years to get. those clubs with grandfathers and grandchildren playing together. what other sport in the world gives you that sort of opportunity? i was talking to someone tonight

who said the aim of wheelchair rugby league is not to get into the paralympics, it's to get it into the olympics. how amazing would that be? because then it's not a disability sport, it's just a sport. shoot for the stars. put this in the olympics, and then it is officially the most inclusive sport in the world. france and england are the favourites for this third of three world cups side by side. in wheelchair rugby league, it's a breakthrough to have this platform. joe lynskey, bbc news. chatting to toby and james about the inclusivity and you get fathers and sons and family is playing on the same team. sons and family is playing on the same team-— sons and family is playing on the same team. ~ ,,., , . �* . same team. absolutely. we've had father, same team. absolutely. we've had father. son — same team. absolutely. we've had father, son and _ same team. absolutely. we've had father, son and wife _ same team. absolutely. we've had father, son and wife playing i father, son and wife playing together and it's fantastic. you are ca tain of together and it's fantastic. you are captain of warrington _ together and it's fantastic. you are captain of warrington wolves. i together and it's fantastic. you are | captain of warrington wolves. yes, and when we _ captain of warrington wolves. yes, and when we playing _ captain of warrington wolves. is: and when we playing and we captain of warrington wolves. i2: and when we playing and we had father and son playing against each other which is amazing. you father and son playing against each other which is amazing.— father and son playing against each other which is amazing. you say the sort other which is amazing. you say the sport literally _ other which is amazing. you say the sport literally saved _ other which is amazing. you say the sport literally saved your _ other which is amazing. you say the sport literally saved your life. in i sport literally saved your life. in lockdown i was homeless and they
