economies and it means the bank of england is under more pressure to raise interest rates again tomorrow. here's our economics correspondent, andy verity. pizza is up 9%. vegetables like courgettes and peppers are up 21%. at this pizzeria in brighton, the firm is placing inflation that is higher in the uk than italy or any other advanced economy. and unlike other advanced economy. and unlike other economies, british inflation, the rise of the cost of living here, is stubbornly refusing to slow down. when the owner describes how his costs have risen, you will understand why he has had no chance but to increase his prices.— but to increase his prices. tomatoes from £20 per _ but to increase his prices. tomatoes from £20 per case — but to increase his prices. tomatoes from £20 per case to _ but to increase his prices. tomatoes from £20 per case to 25. _ but to increase his prices. tomatoes from £20 per case to 25. and - but to increase his prices. tomatoes from £20 per case to 25. and today, £39 per case. so we are talking about double the price. bags of flower from £20, about double the price. bags of flowerfrom £20, £21 per bag. now we pay £32 per bag. it is affecting

everything. the wage, salaries. right now, not only our price rises not slowing down, on when men met —— on one measure, they are actually speeding up. look at the blue line, headline inflation, it has come down from its peak. but look at the red line, that so—called core inflation meaning you strip out volatile items like food and fuel, and that has been rising. 7.1%. that means the bank of england is likely to push up interest rates higher and for longer than previously thought to try to tame inflation, so trouble on global financial markets. the yields on gilts, meaning the interest rates the government has to pay to borrow money, have shooting up back to where we were after the mini—budget. 0ver where we were after the mini—budget. over two years, they keep hitting new highs, meaning lenders will charge even more for two year fixed—rate mortgages. they are already high enough for people like ewan, a young homeowner in london. he hasjust re—fixed ewan, a young homeowner in london. he has just re—fixed as mortgage ewan, a young homeowner in london. he hasjust re—fixed as mortgage now is to find an extra £400 a month. i

injection of state support. 1&1 injection of state support. 1.4 million people are set to lose a fifth of their disposable income due to higher interest rates according to higher interest rates according to figures just released by the institute for fiscal studies, with the bank of england now expected to raise interest rates tomorrow for the 13th time in a row by half a percentage point and the government taking more money from households in tax, the financial heat for families just keeps being turned up. andy verity, bbc news. 0ur political correspondent leila nathoo is at westminster. leila, halving inflation is one of the prime minister's priorities. how hard is it for him politically, if inflation stays so stubbornly high? well, rishi sunak has certainly staked a lot on trying to get inflation down, even though it is an independent bank of england that controls interest rates, which is one of the main tools of tackling inflation. but when the prime minister made this pledge at the start of the year to halve inflation by the end of the year, inflation was running at more than 10% and the

expectation was it was on its way down. and certainly, some critics at the time that the prime minister was trying to take credit for something that was going to happen anyway. now of course, it looks like it will be much stickier, the expectation of more interest rate rises on the way. labour now putting pressure on the government over the impact of this for people who are paying off their mortgages. and let's talking now of whether the government should be intervening in some way to help owners, that is something the government is resisting —— and there is talk now. at prime minister's questions today, rishi sunak insist on tackling inflation was his priority and he wasn't going to do anything that risked making it worse. —— insisted tackling inflation. it's also right that we do support those with the mortgages, and this is why the absolute right economic priority is to halve inflation. because inflation is what is driving interest rates up. inflation is what erodes people's savings and pushes up prices, and ultimately makes them poorer. labour clearly think the government

is vulnerable on this and people might blame ministers for their difficult predicaments. this is keir starmer this afternoon in the commons also referencing the impact of former prime minister liz truss's now notorious mini budget. he knows ve well now notorious mini budget. he knows very well because _ now notorious mini budget. he knows very well because of _ now notorious mini budget. he knows very well because of the _ now notorious mini budget. he knows very well because of the mortgage - very well because of the mortgage catastrophe. 13 years of economic failure _ catastrophe. 13 years of economic failure and — catastrophe. 13 years of economic failure and a tory kamikaze budget which _ failure and a tory kamikaze budget which crashed the economy and put mortgages through the roof. rishi sunak insisted _ mortgages through the roof. fl si sunak insisted there is mortgages through the roof. fl 3“i sunak insisted there is targeted support available and the chancellor jeremy hunt would be meeting mortgage lenders later this week to see what more could be done. but there are no calls from within the conservative party for the government to offer more support now and certainly some nerves about what all this means for the party's election prospects. i certainly think the government is going to feel the pressure on this.- think the government is going to feel the pressure on this. thank you very much- — search teams trying to find the submersible that's missing near the wreck of the titanic have detected underwater noises.

the us coastguard says a canadian aircraft picked up the sounds. according to one report, there was a banging noise at 30—minute intervals, but searches so far have produced no results. those on board — three of them, british — have only a day's supply of oxygen left. richard galpin reports. these are the last known pictures of the titan submersible before contact was lost — an hour and 40 minutes after the crew began the descent. an american coastguard cutter and other boats have arrived in the area now to help with the search. experts say the crew have approximately until later tomorrow before the air in the submersible runs out. the us coast guard boss isjohn mauger. it's a target, it's a focus for us to look at, and so we've deployed the remote—operated vehicles and the surface vessel, the canadian

coast guard search surface vessel, that has capability in the vicinity of that to see if we can detect anything in the water in that area. but there is now a ray of hope. a canadian military plane flying over the area with a sonar has picked up sounds of banging. but for all those on board the submersible, there remains the concern about their air supply. the best thing they can do is just conserve their breathing. every breath that they take consumes oxygen, and that's their limiting factor. so they need to minimise the oxygen they breathe in, the carbon dioxide they breathe out. they could be sleeping, they could take some sleeping medicine, but the best thing to do is just to rest and... and continue to bang on the wall, and hopefully bang out sos in morse code or something like that, so we know that it's actually coming from humans and notjust maybe a submarine in the area or something like that. on top of this is concern why the team started this dive so early in the season. when you're out on the north atlantic, it is, you know, we only have a three—month

weather window, which pretty much goes from the end ofjune to september, where the seas are calm enough to actually be out there and be able to dive, which right now, it's really early in the season so i'm not sure why 0ceangate went out this soon. the immediate task now is to locate the submersible, but then comes the crucialjob of retrieving it. richard galpin, bbc news. 0ur correspondentjessica parker is in boston, where the search is being co—ordinated. we don't what these noises amount to, but will they give the search teams some encouragment? well, it is the first development of its kind that we have really had. but as we have been hearing, the us coast guard have been very clear. they don't know the source of these noises, it is an area around the titanic wreckage site where there is a lot of metal, but they are going

to pass the data onto us navy experts. they are also going to redirect these unmanned robots making dives in the area to the site where those sounds were heard. meanwhile, evidence continues to emerge that safety concerns about the titan submersible have previously been raised, including —— including, according to court documents by a former employee in 2018. the chief executive of 0ceangate expeditions stockton rush has previously spoken about his belief in the integrity of the vessel. he is one of the five men thatis vessel. he is one of the five men that is now missing. so the search continues, but these noises at least bringing some hope to the search operation. bringing some hope to the search 0 eration. ., ~ bringing some hope to the search oeration. ., ,, i. bringing some hope to the search oeration. ., ~' ,, , . operation. thank you very much indeed. 0ur science correspondent jonathan amos here. what is your reading of these possible noises that have been heard? �* , possible noises that have been heard? 3 ., ~ heard? let's take the most optimistic _ heard? let's take the most optimistic scenario. - heard? let's take the most optimistic scenario. let's i heard? let's take the most - optimistic scenario. let's assume the five individuals on board this stricken sub are tapping on the

metal ends, the titanium caps in this cylinder —shaped vessel. and they are doing it at timed intervals and in a repeated pattern. and they are doing that to indicate that they are doing that to indicate that they are alive, but also to help the search forces find out where they are. and they would do that using listening devices at the surface, they are called solar boys. if they contain the receipt of the signal to those different buoys, they can get a fix on the source of the sound —— solar buoys. they send a robot down into a search box which may be at that point, if they have really good data, less than 100m, so smaller than a football pitch. but time is really important now as we have been hearing. maybe only a day's breathable oxygen left. they have to find that sub and then work out how to bring it back to the surface. jonathan, thank you, jonathan amos, our science correspondent. a new study has found a big rise in teenage girls diagnosed

with eating disorders and rates of self—harm. since the start of the pandemic, the number of 13—16 year—old girls with eating disorders was more than 40% higher than would be expected, while cases of self—harm were 38% higher. annabel rackham reports. since march 2020, when lockdown measures were brought in, eating disorders like anorexia and bulimia were 42% higher in girls aged 13 to 16 and 32% higher in those aged 17 to 19 compared to what had been predicted by experts. researchers from the universities of manchester, exeter and keele looked at anonymous gp health records from over 9 million uk patients. they focused on those from the ages of 10—24 and looked at records held between 2010 and 2023. so i got referred to an eating disorders clinic. annabelle is 19 and developed bulimia during the pandemic,

with her family struggling to get her the help she needed. eating was something you could control and it was easy to do because you didn't have to do anything, you didn't have to go to school, you didn't have to go to work or any of that stuff, so no—one knew that you weren't eating. you weren't, like, passing out in public. it was easy to hide. i used to be a very happy athlete... sophie rowland also found herself fixated on her weight when she no longer had school as something to focus on. food is fuel, it literally is. it brings every little bit of life back to you, you get your energy back, you can actually do stuff with your life again, and that's one of the main parts that i continue to recover, because i've actually got my life back. now 18, she shared her recovery from anorexia on social media as a way to help other people. obviously, people comment on my videos and i've had so many dms just saying that i've helped them. i've had people from my school telling us that i've helped them. like, just people you wouldn't even realise are struggling that have spoken out to us, and it'sjust such a nice relief to know that you've actually helped someone. the study also found that where people lived impacted

whether they could get a diagnosis, with research showing those from wealthier areas had a significantly higher diagnosis rate than those from poorer ones. services are really a postcode lottery at the moment, depending on where you are in the country. but it's notjust about money. we know that in many areas of the country, actually, they have money in their budget to spend, but they can't recruit the right staff — there aren't enough staff willing to fill those vacancies. so what we need is we need a long—term strategy to actually build the workforce, to make sure that we have the psychiatrists and the nurses we need in 5—10 years' time to make sure that we can deal with this crisis. the department for health and social care said they're increasing the number of children and young people's community eating disorder services across england, with up to £54 million worth of investment a year by march 2024. annabel rackham, bbc news. more than 200 companies have been fined a total of almost £7 million forfailing to pay the minimum wage. whsmith, marks & spencer

and argos are among a string of companies named. whsmith said it had made a "genuine error" by not reimbursing staff who had to pay for their own uniforms, while m&s said it remedied its issue as soon as it was made aware. the british—american social media influencer andrew tate has appeared in court in romania, charged with rape and human trafficking. arriving at court this morning, he told the bbc, "i'm a good person". his brother, tristan tate, and two romanian associates, also face charges. all the accused deny the allegations against them. lucy williamson is at the court in bucharest now. tell us more about what the tate brothers have been saying. andrew tate came here with his brother tristan this morning. a big crowd of media as you expect to greet them, from the uk because of its first time they've been brought in front of the judge as the accused

in front of the judge as the accused in this case. there are lots of questions being thrown at them. we asked of the charges alleged, of exploiting women, those were denied. you can probably hear what is going on in the pictures there. the point of this hearing was really to hand the brother is a copy of the indictment, all 370 pages of it and their lawyers are now going to have a little bit of time to go through it, to analyse it and raise any objections they might have. we are also waiting to hear what the decision is about keeping them under house arrest. they have been under house arrest. they have been under house arrest. they have been under house arrest for three months now and that is one more thing the judges will have to consider, whether to lift it or keep them in that house arrest.— whether to lift it or keep them in that house arrest. lucy, thank you very much — that house arrest. lucy, thank you very much indeed. _ the time is 1:17. our top story this lunchtime: latest figures on inflation show it's still stubbornly high — 8.7% for the second month in a row. and coming up — we meet the basketball team from ukraine at the special olympics.

coming up on bbc news: two debutants in the england women's team to take on australia tomorrow. pace bowler lauren filer and danni wyatt will lead the line up as england try and regain the ashes. the bbc has uncovered evidence showing that hundreds of chronically sick and mentally ill patients from the windrush generation were sent back to the caribbean 7 in what the government has admitted was an "historic injustice". legal experts say the practice may have been unlawful, and the families of those affected are calling for an inquiry. 0ur correspondent navtej johal has the story. i never had a father. i never had a father figure in my life. when she was just eight—years—old, june's father, joseph armatrading, vanished from her life. he had arrived in britain from st kitts in 1954 as part of the windrush generation.

he had a wife and five daughters, but he was in a hospital struggling with his mental health. and in 1966, her mother told them that he had gone back home, never to be seen by them again. i did feel, and i still do, we was abandoned. we were left. it's a massive, big heart break. because you just think...why me? we're about to showjune documents that will transform her understanding of her own life. really sad because... oh, sorry. they reveal thatjoseph armatrading was repatriated to st kitts on mental health grounds. but, upon arrival, he wrote to the uk government that he wanted to return to his family. in internal letters, officials admit mistakes were made in his case and that he should be allowed to return.

but he never did. it's an emotional discovery for june, who's never known any of this. i'm still shocked now. i'm upset. it's upsetting. it's really upsetting to know that. how dare they? this was a vulnerable man. you're supposed to look after your vulnerable people. and they didn't, theyjust left him. they abandoned him. joseph's was one of many cases where mentally ill patients were repatriated to the caribbean. using documents stored in the national archives, for the first time, we can show the extent of how many of the windrush generation were repatriated in the 19505, �*60s and �*705. our findings show more than 400 chronically sick and mentally ill patients were sent back to the caribbean. and evidence suggests it wasn't

always for their benefit. government documents from the 19605 show that people likejune's dad should only have been repatriated if they wanted to return, if their doctor felt it would benefit their health, and if there were resources there to look after them. but this letterfrom the jamaican high commission says hospital authorities were trying to send patients back largely due to pressure on beds, giving the impression that this was being done regardless of whether adequate treatment was available. the windrush generation had the same legal status as someone born in the uk. lawyerjacqueline mckenzie has represented hundreds of victims of the windrush scandal. she and other experts we've spoken to questioned the legality of the repatriations. we do not know the full extent of it and how many thousands of people may be affected, in terms of children and grandchildren of some of the people who went. the state now owes it to the descendants of people

who were affected to provide them with answers and some sort of redress. she and june are now calling for an inquiry into these repatriations. in a statement, a government spokesperson said. but forjune, she's still left with the question of what happened to her father. they've left us lost. i'm a lost girl looking for answers. navteonhal, bbc news.

so, yeah, it was hard, but we are here, we are fighting, we are standing together and i think that this is the most important thing. ukraine are wearing red on court here. their team at the special olympics plays in unified basketball, where mainstream athletes compete alongside those with intellectual disabilities. it's designed to promote inclusion, integration. ukraine! russia and belarus were barred by berlin's organisers from taking part at these games. the reception for ukraine at the opening ceremony was the loudest of the night. how did that make you feel in your heart? that was so exciting. really great. like on the skin, you know, it was... we are so proud. and we highly appreciate the support. the whole stadium was like... we mostly are crying because that was so touching. if it's a week away from reality,

ukraine at least play here — feeling that berlin is with them. joe wilson, bbc news, at the special olympics. thousands of music fans are arriving at glastonbury for this year's festival. arctic monkeys, guns n' roses and sir eltonjohn are among the headline acts. the music itself doesn't start on the main stages until friday, but that doesn't stop the fans pitching their tents a couple of days early, as our entertainment correspondent colin paterson reports. cheering welcome to glastonbury! the moments glastonbury opened its doors. three, two, one! cheering festival boss emily eavis doing the duties. welcome, this way. and optimistic friday's headliners arctic monkeys will play, despite laryngitis causing last night's dublin show to be called off.
