11:51 am
the stephen lawrence investigation. the prime minister has been speaking in the last few minutes. he began with russia. i've spoken to the leader of the united states, but also france and germany over the weekend. we're completely coordinated on our response to this. it's a situation that we've been monitoring for some time. the instability that would be caused by russia's illegal invasion of ukraine and what we saw over this weekend is an example of that coming to the fore. it's obviously too early to predict with certainty what might happen as a result of this, but i'm in close touch with our allies and we're monitoring the situation closely. and are you prepared for a collapse of the regime, those documents today said the uk needs to be prepared. i mean, this is the most tooled up nuclear power in the world. is the uk prepared for putin's collapse if it comes? as i said, it's a situation that we've been analysing and monitoring for some time, because we're aware of the potentially destabilising impact of russia's illegal war on ukraine and indeed the tensions between the wagner group and the putin regime. that's why we're in close touch
11:52 am
with our allies to make sure that we're coordinated. it's too early to predict with certainty what the consequences of this might be. but of course, we are prepared, as we always would be. just very finely. 0n stephen lawrence today, he remains a suspect. this shows the metropolitan police, but do you think, frankly, the government needs to take action when it comes to the max, given the repeated failures, notjust in this instance but others as well? my instance but others as well? ij�*i thoughts instance but others as well? m: thoughts firstly, instance but others as well? m; thoughts firstly, with all of stephen lawrence is the mac's loved ones, to make sure that his legacy lives on. it is an ongoing police matter, so i cannot comment in detail, otherthan matter, so i cannot comment in detail, other than to say that in metropolitan policeman —— police officers this morning will say that they have —— because of this money they have —— because of this money they will review any information when it comes to light.

breaking news now, nicola billy who vanished while walking her dog in lancashire injanuary, she died as a result of drowning and was alive when she fell into the water. her inquest has heard. the 45—year—old went missing from a park in lancashire, prompting a search. —— nicola bulley. it took more than three weeks for her body to be found, one mile away from where she was last seen. the pathologist was giving evidence in canticle in preference to an precedent, and said there was no evidence she was harmed. rising housing costs arejust the latest big squeeze on the cost of livingand it's a really worrying time, especially if you've already seen your repayments go up by hundreds of pounds a month. according to the debt charity stepchange, more than a quarter of all new clients say the rising cost of living is the source of their debt. that's compared to just 9%, 18 months ago, back at the start of 2022. 0livia richwald went along to hear about the help on offer. afternoon.
11:54 am
you're through to beth at stepchange. how can i help? is he behind with of the bills — rent, council tax, water, tv licence? the call handlers at the charity stepchange help those in financial crisis. debts are mounting up, bills are being ignored, and bailiffs are knocking. got both of you for your debt advice session. but i've only got you registered for the mortgage and the equity release side of things. yeah, it does take a lot of emotional resilience to work in the charity at the moment, especially with the cost of living crisis. we're seeing, i think, a lot more desperate clients. the charity was set up 30 years ago and employs 800 staff at the leeds head office. we were filming as news broke that interest rates were rising for the 13th time in a row. today's shock announcement of a 5% interest rate comes as the mortgage team here in leeds are desperately trying to help clients in financial stress. but according to the charity, it takes about a year
11:55 am
between when a client enters a financial crisis, and when they finally reach out for help. what we would say is people don't have to suffer on their own. we are going through a once in a generation, if not more, cost of living crisis, and if anything positive can come out of what is an incredibly horrible situation, i'd hope it is that we can get a bit better of talking about our financial problems and asking for help from organisations like stepchange. typical clients will already have squeezed their spending on shopping, entertainment and non—essentials. have you spoken to your lender at all about what help they can offer or assistance they can give you in dealing with that mortgage? some are also considering cuts that would damage their financial future. ok, that's fine. we had clients' advisers and ask should they reduce their pension payments or stop their pension payments. costs of such things as health insurance have gone up. people question and ask whether they can make those as a cut, whether they can take those out.
11:56 am
and there's life insurances as well. people turn to everything they can people turn to everything they can try and make a reduction on, try and make a reduction on, or that they might deem that they don't need. the message here is to seek help early before debts escalate. staff can negotiate with creditors and put plans in place to shed debt over time. you are not alone and it's likely many more people will need help as the interest rate rise continues to bite. 0livia richwald, bbc news, leeds. it is now time to take a look at the weather. hello again. it's been very humid of late and over the next few days the weather is going to turn that bit fresher. there'll still be sunshine in the forecast, but at times there will also be some rain. today we've got this transient ridge of high pressure across us, so more settled day than it was yesterday. but having said that, we still are looking at a mixture of sunshine and showers. some of the showers will be heavy, but there's less of a chance of them being thundery, and quite blowing winds as well. now, some of us missing the showers
11:57 am
will have a pleasant day. temperatures up to about 20, 23 degrees in the north. we're looking at 15 to 20 degrees, which will still feel pleasant if you're out of the showers. many of the showers will eventually fade, but through the night, thicker cloud will start to arrive in northern ireland and then we'll see some rain coming in and the wind will pick up too across northern ireland and western scotland. these are overnight lows, 9 to 13 degrees. into tomorrow, we start off with sunshine in the east and also the south, but the cloud and rain already in the west pushes into northern ireland, scotland, northern england and wales. drier as we push further south, but increasingly cloudy. 0ur temperatures — 15 to about 22 degrees. moving further into the week again for wednesday, what we're looking at is this cold front coming in now. we're in between a warm and a cold front. ahead of the cold front, we're in humid conditions,
11:58 am
but behind it here, we're looking at fresher conditions coming our way. been named for the first time a lot of cloud with some splashes of rain across parts of england and wales. then in comes a cold front across scotland, northern ireland getting into northern england through the day. and behind that, fresher conditions follow. here, too, we'll be looking at sunshine and showers. temperatures in the west, 15 to 18, but up to 2a in the southeast for thursday. the cold weather front mightjust stall across the far south east of england. if that happens, then we will see some persistent rain for much of the day on and off. as we push further north away from that rain, we're looking at something drier and brighter. yes, it'll be areas of cloud at times thick enough, even for the odd shower. temperature wise, during the course of thursday, we're looking at a range of 15 in the north to a high of maybe 22 as we push down to the far southeast. that's 72 in old money.
