the north of england. towards the north of england. elsewhere, dry with sunshine, temperatures reaching up to around 15 in parts of the far south and hopefully on saturday a wet afternoon but drier for bonfire night. from 2.25 to 3% — it's the bigget single hike in rates since 1989. the bank's governor says it had to be done. if we do not act forcefully now, it will be worse later on. and as the forecast we are publishing today shows, it is a tough road ahead. homeowners with mortgages and businesses with loans are warned of difficult times to come and a recession that could last well into 202a. we were looking before the rates had increased and it was like we were working it out thinking, "yeah, we can do this, we can do this."

with the rates now — we're a lot more hesitant. the other main story tonight: at least one of the people killed in the manchester arena bombing could have been saved if the emergency services had arrived sooner — says a highly critical report. gunfire pakistan's former prime minister, imran khan, survives a gun attack during a protest march. we know what you whisper. and we'll be on the red carpet, as the eagerly awaited black panther sequel arrives in the uk. the effect of the cost of living crisis on both those participating in sport. good evening. the bank of england has announced

the bigget single hike in interest rates since 1989, as it tries to dampen down soaring inflation. it has raised rates from 2.25% to 3% and predicted that the uk is heading into a recession that could last until at least the middle of 202a. it would be the longest recession since records began a century ago and the less well off will be hardest hit. the bank's governor, andrew bailey, also said september's mini—budget — under liz truss — had damaged the uk's standing — it is easier to lose confidence, it takes longer to regain it, he said. our economics editor, faisal islam is here. yes, sophie, the uk is facing the start of a very challenging few years for the economy and for all of our pockets. as you said, the interest rate today was raised to 3%, a massive 0.75% jump. you can see here it's the highest it's been since 2008 — a clear end to the long period

of low interest rates. inflation is now heading towards the peak, with it expected to fall next year, but remaining above the bank of england's target of 2% for some time. the bank now predicts the country will be in the longest recession of the past century, not as deep as the financial crisis in 2008, but lasting until mid 202a. the bank of england is walking a tightrope, trying to grapple with high inflation whilst the economy continues to shrink. the end of a decade and a half of ultralow interest rates was always going to be difficult. but dealing in mortgages has, in recent weeks, felt more like the stock market than the housing market. it's been crazy. it feels like we've been on a rollercoaster and we're not off it yet. it's coming round for its second loop. and, inevitably, that is hitting the housing market. there has been a drop—off in new buyer

interest, that's gone right down in the last month. i think in the south—east it's a0%, and that's from the horse's mouth, which is the agents. which is a huge amount of lack of interest. as the bank tries with a jumbo rate rise to hammer down on a four decade high rise in prices, millions of mortgage holders face an annual extra bill of £3000. when they're facing £3000 energy bills, rising taxes, too, how can you justify that they are going to be paying the price for this? we do understand the difficulties of the situation we are in and the difficulties that mortgage holders face. if we don't take action to bring inflation down, it gets worse. for a new chancellor planning tax rises, the bank's new forecast points not only to an historically lengthy recession,

but there will have been no growth since 2019 across the entire parliament after the pandemic. the biggest single thing we can do is to help the bank of england bring down inflation, and the bank is taking its measures which it has announced today, but the government also has to play our part by producing national accounts that balance. it's incredibly concerning, i the forecast from the bank | of england about the contractionj of the economy, and that we are already potentially in recession. families are already incredibly worried about what's - happening in the economy, - with higher prices for everything, and no economic growth to be seen. after extra economic turmoil that was made in britain, the governor said calmer markets did not mean the situation was now fully recovered. you're talking about suffering and sacrifice, people want to know who's to blame. let me say, if we look beyond the last three months, there are some very big external shocks. so, what has happened in the intervening three month period is that,

yes, there have been i'm afraid some very specific uk developments. so, those uk specific shocks, have they all gone, or do the of that linger on? it's easier to lose confidence, and it takes longer to regain it. it was very apparent to me that the uk's position and the uk's standing had been damaged and that we all, and particularly i and others, have to roll our sleeves up and demonstrate that uk policy—making is back in action. the recession warning saw a notable fall in sterling today. it is a tricky balancing act for all in an economy set for an ongoing fall. faisal islam, bbc news. higher interests rates will be welcomed by people with savings, but the rise will hit businesses and people with mortgages, credit card debt and bank loans. it will also affect people who rent properties. our midlands correspondent

navtej johal reports from derby. this man loves living in his house in derby with his girlfriend, but soon, he will have to leave. as interest rates rise, his rent is going up by more than £100 a month, which they can't afford. we've decided the best thing to do is for both of us to kind of go to our parents' house. i'm going to my mum's house, she is going to her mum's house and it's quite a step back in our relationship. i think the word i would use is embarrassing. for myself, i felt embarrassed. the mature student and freelance videographer was recently in rent arrears for the first time. he says he never expected to be struggling financially. i literally broke down and cried, man, because i was wondering how i'm going to manage everything, you know? everything put together, the rent, the gas and all these things, tax and just all of that together, man. ijust don't know how people are really making it through these hard times in this situation,

do you know what i mean? becky has been hoping to buy a house with her partner in derby. she works for a mortgage advice company but even she isn't sure what to do next. with the rates now, we're a lot more hesitant. you're just banging your head 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. and i work in the industry. it's notjust mortgages or rents which will be affected by today's interest rate increase. everything from credit card rates to car loans will also feel the impact and that, of course, comes against a backdrop of rising prices for everyone. among the people trying to help arejess and zenia. seeing the increase in people around them struggling to afford the basics, they set up a charity recently to help those in need. how much of a difference does it make if the interest rate on your loans goes up? it could mean not being able to make your monthly payment.

you know, if it goes up that much, like 80, £90 a month or whatever, £90 a month or whatever, i mean, some of the gas bills have gone up £600 a month. you know, i don't know how people are supposed to find that sort of money. even in difficult times, there is support available, but not many believe that things will be easier any time soon. navteonhal, bbc news, derby. and faisal is with me now. a very gloomy warning today. well a recession definitely happy and —— happen and how bad is the situation here compared to everywhere else in the world? ,., ., here compared to everywhere else in the world? ., . ,, ., the world? some sort of recession seems pretty _ the world? some sort of recession seems pretty certain. _ the world? some sort of recession seems pretty certain. how- the world? some sort of recession seems pretty certain. how long i the world? some sort of recession seems pretty certain. how long it| seems pretty certain. how long it lasts, that is up for grabs. it depends on government policy, bank of england policy and the lack of what happens in energy markets and what happens in energy markets and what happens in that war in ukraine. the comparisons with the rest of the world are interesting, even in this bank of england forecast. as we've been saying, two years of the economy shrinking for the uk, for

the euro area, it is flat, that's not great but it's flat and not shrinking and growing in 2025. for the us, a little bit growth, reasonable growth and then normal growth in 2025. so there is a different impact for the uk then our major sort of competitors and partners in the other economies. but you don't get a recession like this even forecast without it having a significant impact on households, on businesses and the trade—offs are significant impact on households, on businesses and tijust |de—offs are significant impact on households, on businesses and tijust for -offs are significant impact on households, on businesses and tijust for -offs ( the services after the manchester arena bombing in may 2017 says at least one of the 22 people who were killed

dedicated to analysing every aspect of the aftermath of the attack. the chairman of the inquiry, sirjohn saunders, says he hasn't been looking for scapegoats, that nobody made the wrong decision that night on purpose but he said it's hisjob to look for mistakes to prevent similar situations happening in future. i think that point brings both hope and horror to those affected. horror because sirjohn made it clear that many of these errors have happened before, both in training exercises and in genuine situations in the past. hope, why? because those who are sick of that mantra of lessons being learned and people saying lessons will be learned, they say they intend to make sure that this time these recommendations are followed. the chairman says he will be monitoring those recommendations and the home secretary tonight has also said she will look at them and consider what can be done to strengthen the state's response to terror attacks in future.

democrats always go to the people. at the moment, the establishment is against us. the entire political parties, all of them are against us. and since losing his position as prime minister, his popularity has grown. i've been in politics for 26 years. never in pakistan's history has a party had so much public support as now, and all along this journey you will see it, it's never happened in pakistan. public support as now, and all along this route you will see it, it's never happened in pakistan. do you need the army's support to get power? 0nly people who do not have public support need army. through these demonstrations, mr khan was pressuring the government to call for new elections, a cry the government has repeatedly said it would not heed. as news spread of the attack, so too did protests in several cities around the country, with people chanting slogans against the government. the apparent attempt to silence

he wrote, i need to acknowledge the acute pain and distress of lgbtq+ in the life of the church. i am sorry that corporately we have been so slow as a church to reach better decisions and practice. so he is now calling for clergy to be allowed to marry a same—sex partner if they wish, but if they don't wish, they should retain the option not to opt into any new arrangements, it is a very significant intervention today. now a look at some other stories making the news today. a court has told the british arm of the global commodities group glencore to pay more than £275 million for bribing officials in african countries to get access to oil. glencore energy uk pleaded guilty to seven corruption offences in june. a mother and her partner have been jailed for life for murdering her son. sebastian kalinowski, who was 15, had been tortured for months by his mother agnieszka kalinowska and her partner andrzej latoszewski at their home in huddersfield before he died in august 2021.
