uk. this fall of 0.2% means the uk was the only economy to fall of the major g7 economies over the summer. even as many were hit by the same global energy shock. questions will only grow if this is the start of a prolonged period of decline, but more concerning is if you take this back all the way to just before the pandemic, the uk economy overall is smaller than what it was at the end of 2019. at the start of this government, as brexit was occurring. this is unique across the g7. the other economies are bigger, having faced similar global challenges from the pandemic and from russian energy, raising reasonable questions about whether post—brexit trade and worker policies have made the economy less efficient, less resilient to these common shocks. the government still argues everyone is being hit the same. pare the government still argues everyone is being hit the same.— is being hit the same. are you alarmed the — is being hit the same. are you alarmed the uk _ is being hit the same. are you alarmed the uk is _ is being hit the same. are you alarmed the uk is the - is being hit the same. are you alarmed the uk is the only - is being hit the same. are you - alarmed the uk is the only economy of the g7 that are shrinking at the

6:05 pm
spending comes under the microscope. so how will they square there is not just with levelling up but with their promises to focus on growth for the whole economy? back at the factory, if they want some certainty on some big government investments, there are signs of light at the end of the tunnel in the global economy, when inflation has peaked and supplies from china won't be interrupted by new covid waves, but it may yet be a lengthyjourney through that tunnel. crowds have been cheering ukrainian soldiers in kherson as they entered the city for the first time since it was captured by russia at the start of the war. president zelensky has called it a historic day. the retreat has been fast. russia says it has pulled out 30,000 soldiers from the city. it is one of the biggest setbacks since president putin launched the attack in
6:06 pm
february. many escaped across the main road heading east before a section of it was blown up, apparently by the russians, to protect their retreating forces. 0ur international editorjeremy bowen is international editorjeremy bowen is in ukraine and he has been looking through the pictures coming out of the city today as the russians abandoned it. kherson's residents emerged from their homes as the first ukrainian soldiers reached the main square. for them, it's the end of more than eight months under occupation. plenty to celebrate, but they are not out of danger. russia's guns are only a few miles away across the river. as they left, russian engineers blew a section of the antonovski bridge at dawn
6:07 pm
long lines of russian troops seem to be using a temporary crossing under the main damage structure. the russian claim is that 30,000 soldiers and more than 5000 pieces of equipment left kherson before the bridges were blown. ukrainians believe this is a major turning point in the war, that their forces have taken a big step towards victory. jeremy is in 0desa in southern ukraine. president zelensky saying tonight it is a historic day. just give us the context about how significant this moment is?— moment is? historic for the ukrainians _ moment is? historic for the ukrainians because - moment is? historic for the ukrainians because they - moment is? historic for the - ukrainians because they believe, as i said there, that they have taken a giant step towards an eventual victory. zelensky pulls my own assistants and spokespeople have also been saying they will not rest until they get russians out of all of the country, including the crimean peninsula, which russia seized in 2014. from their perspective, that's why it's important. forthe perspective, that's why it's important. for the russians, they are arguing that they executed a successful fighting retreat,

6:10 pm
was because i wasn't able to earn enough money as an agency nurse. ——enough money. as an agency nurse suzanne can work when she wants and earn double what she did on staff, though there's no holiday or sick pay. she says teamwork can be an issue. agency nurses will always be needed, but it's the dynamics within a ward that you're losing when you are putting agency nurses in there. kieran says big pay differences can be unsettling on the wards. an app used by trusts shows the constant need as you can see, there are shifts right now. so if i wanted to drive to a hospital and pick up this shift in a&e, you could do that.
6:11 pm
at colchester hospital filling the gaps is a daily challenge for the rota manager, so tonight is definitely going to be a struggle. we have got a few wards with just two registered nurses on. there are nhs guidelines on capping agency spending, but hospital leaders say they have to make difficult decisions. we had 80 beds open that were not part afoul-plan, at'this time ' of the year and many of those beds would have been staffed and supported by agency staff. i'm never going to make a decision based on finance. quality and safety is always going to be what drives the decisions that we have to make. but equally, i am responsible for taxpayers' money,
6:12 pm
and i take that seriously. with agency rates looking attractive rhere's all the more pressure on the nhs to do everything possible to hold on to staff, for example, offering more flexibility over work patterns, blood pressure. police officers are spending too much time taking care of society's problems and not tackling enough crime, policing. chief constable 0livia pinkney says officers can spend half their shifts attending incidents which should be led by other services and victims are being failed as a result. the home office says its priority is to get more police onto our streets, cut crime and bring more criminals tojustice. here's our special correspondent, ed thomas. police, get off your act and help people in need. i'm in need of help. i need some help.
6:13 pm
face—to—face with the uk's crime problem. this is my daughter's face after she was stamped on so many times. been kicked all over the floor and hit - with bars. across the year we have revealed the police response delays. right, lads, police are on the way. ..plunging charge rates, and communities being let down. if it's not bolted down, they'll cut it out and take it anyway. screams. now the police have agreed to respond to our investigations... that looks awful, and as a mum myself, you know, gosh, my heart goes out to her. and when you watch these stories, what do you think? that we've got work to do, absolutely we've got work to do. the victims on these films, which are really hard hitting, i do get it, they want the service they get to be better. chief constable 0livia pinkney runs hampshire police. she is also the national lead for neighbourhood policing. the people we've spoken to, they told us you don't see the police anymore. all you get is a crime number. you're lucky if they
6:14 pm
come out a week later. i want to stop crime happening in the first place. i want to be patrolling all of the areas. it's part of the way british policing works. and we do loads of it. and if we can free ourselves from things that are not for the police service to lead upon and we can really get back to the things that we absolutely want to do, i want to lock up burglars. we had an attempted one at derek's, joseph had . a bike took, didn't he? we found some police forces are charging one in 50 burglars of the crimes committed. that's an astonishing number. iagree. but that's not forgotten. so are these victims being failed? failed, for sure. there is a crisis when it comes to prosecuting all sorts of people, yeah, there is. but when you were talking there are about charging, that is the entire criminaljustice system. the decision to charge with burglary isn't owned by the police. the chief constable says new officers will help, but it's not straightforward. how many more police officers would you like to see to go some way to solving this?
6:15 pm
how many would i like to see? give me double, that would be great. absolutely brilliant. and some forces are still over 15% down on where they were in 2010. but it's notjust a numbers game. that's my son's bedroom, that. she says police are doing too little policing and being forced to deal with society's problems. we go to 54 significant mental health incidents every hour. the police officer will pick them up, take them to a hospital, and on average sit for three hours waiting. it all lands on your desk? yes, because we're here, we're here 24/7, we answer the phone 24/7, non—emergency. think how many agencies or services or businesses answer the phone in a nonemergency way. who do you go to if you're in trouble? i if they do come out, it's probably the next day or three days later. it's crap. so what question does the nation have to ask itself, then?
6:16 pm
it's how do you want your police service to operate? are the police there for fighting crime? absolutely, yes. but the police are also there to protect those in need. and what does that balance look like? because right now, that is an enormous mission for policing, and _ it's not getting any lighter any time soon. chief constable 0livia pinkey ending that report by ed thomas. the time is 6.15. our top story this evening. recession looms across the uk as the economy shrinks driven in part by a decline in manufacturing. britain's oldest amateur film—making club, how bradford's movie makers 0na on a sports day on the bbc news channel, can it thomas young continue to steal the show for england as they take on samoa tomorrow for a place in the rugby league world cup final? 0n home soil.

6:21 pm
shots were doctored and fingerprints falsified. thejudge who had to decide on his true identity said these claims were implausible and fanciful. i am ultimately satisfied on the balance of probabilities that mr knight is indeed nicholas rossi, the person sought for extradition by the united states. a woman rossi was found guilty of assaulting while a student in ohio described him as a jekyll and hyde character, a liar. his eyes and just that dark hair, the hands — i remember those hands. you know, because they assaulted me. they violated me. i mean, to me, i didn't have a doubt. he is trying to fool everybody. i'm glad so many people see through it. rossi denies committing the sexual crimes he is accused of in the united states.
6:22 pm
mr rossi, do you accept you lied? these have been legal proceedings that nicholas rossi, with his extraordinary claims and eccentric behaviour, has attempted to turn into a circus. there have been more twists in this than in many works of fiction. described by the judge as a flight risk, rossi was denied bail. a full extradition hearing to decide whether he can face trial in america will take place next year. lorna gordon, bbc news, edinburgh. now a look at some other stories making the news today. after four days of delays and disruption, activists from the groupjust stop 0il have announced they're stopping their protests on the m25. the group says it hopes the government will "consider its responsibilities". an inquiry into an incident at a hotel housing asylum seekers in glasgow, in which one person died and six were injured, said it was an avoidable tragedy.
