today at one: a surprise slow down in the rate at which prices are rising — new figures show inflation dropped last month. food prices went up less quickly and fuel prices came down, but there's still pressure on households. people just can't afford what you're selling, or they'll go for a smaller amount or they'll say, "next week", so you do know people are struggling. we'll be asking what the slowing rate of inflation means for interest rates and the cost of mortgages. also on the programme: the owner of jaguar landrover confirms a new electic car battery plant in somerset — with 4,000 more jobs expected. the children in england who are having to wait for up to 18 months for urgent dental treatment, leaving some in prolonged pain.

and astonishing new finds from almost 2,000 years ago in the ancient roman city of pompeii. and coming up on bbc news. less than 2a hours until the start of the england strike early in the third test. good afternoon and welcome to the bbc news at one. the rate at which prices are going up in the uk slowed down by more than expected last month. inflation dropped to 7.9% — the previous month it had stood at 8.7%. falling fuel prices contributed to the drop, and food prices rose less quickly than injune last year, according to the office for national statistics. but uk inflation remains the highest in the g7 advanced countries and is falling more slowly.

our business correspondent dharshini david reports. young man, what were you looking for? at this market in hythe, the cost of the food trader taryn buys has settled, but remains high. thank you. a lot of pork product and cheese as well. cheese and butter has sort of plateaued and maybe dropped a fraction, but nothing to like we've seen maybe two or three years ago. do you want some of the mixture? yeah? selling dried beef. amanda is seeing other costs rise and is struggling not to pass those on. i'm trying to do more markets so i can get some more money in, but then again, you've got to pay the market fees, you've got to pay your fuel costs, which have gone up as well. and, you know, i've sold a vehicle so that i'm not paying out for an extra vehicle. annette sold out of bread by midday, but for her, wage costs are a challenge. if the minimum wage goes up, i then the wages for other people who are not on minimum wage go up as well. - so they maintain a differential-

between themselves and the minimum wage across the country. those pressures mean food prices continue to climb, albeit at a slower rate than in recent months. the numbers today have confirmed that food price inflation probably the most important element of inflation for most people, is still going up by more than 17%. so there are still big challenges out there. but with lower petrol prices behind this fall in inflation, some impact of last year's spike in oil prices is wearing off and lower energy bills will be reflected in the figures soon. so overall inflation, that blue line should fall further. but there's more. the red line is core inflation that takes out food, energy. it represents many non—essentials, and that rate remains near a 30 year high. it means that firms who are facing higher costs, perhaps as a result of worker shortages, can pass

on price hikes, as many consumers still have cash to spend on treating themselves. and it's that kind of demand the bank of england wants to target. the banks hiked interest rates 13 times so far. the chancellor says it's working. it shows that if the government and the bank of england are prepared to take difficult decisions, we can win the battle against inflation. but nonetheless, for families up and down the country, prices are still rising much too fast. there's a long way to go. analysts say there may be fewer interest rate rises to come now, but many are already feeling the pain of existing ones. as the lib dems ed davey also acknowledged. shoppers can testify it's taking longer to shake off this bout of high inflation here than elsewhere. but the cure also has a price already cutting back. many will be watching the pennies for some time. dharshini is with me.

many will be looking at interest rates and mortgages? yes. many will be looking at interest rates and mortgages? yes, anybody who is taking _ rates and mortgages? yes, anybody who is taking out _ rates and mortgages? yes, anybody who is taking out a _ rates and mortgages? yes, anybody who is taking out a new— rates and mortgages? yes, anybody who is taking out a new mortgage i rates and mortgages? yes, anybody who is taking out a new mortgage isi who is taking out a new mortgage is still going to see some pain, but it may not be as acute as we feared. because experts say perhaps we are going to see a couple more rate rises from the bank of england, fewer than thought. fix rated mortgage deals are linked for the expectedations of interest rates, those two are coming down and we could see some relief there. but questions remain about the impact of these interest rate rises, because not even the bank of england knows how they land. they take at least a year to impact and they work by engineering a slow down. will we go too far? ~ ., ., , , ., ., too far? what does the news mean for household budgets? _ too far? what does the news mean for household budgets? it _ too far? what does the news mean for household budgets? it is _ too far? what does the news mean for household budgets? it is tricky, -

and will be one of europe's largest. tata said it will invest £4 billion in the site, but it's also understood that the government is providing subsidies worth hundreds of millions of pounds. our business correspondent ben king reports. this was once an explosives factory, now it will become the site of one of europe's largest battery plants. enough to power around a million electric cars. l enough to power around a million electric cam-— enough to power around a million electric care— electric cars. i think it is hugely significant _ electric cars. i think it is hugely significant for _ electric cars. i think it is hugely significant for the _ electric cars. i think it is hugely significant for the uk _ electric cars. i think it is hugely significant for the uk economy. clearly this is a shot in the arm that we need. it will be transformational for the industry. but it will also be important for the south—west and north somerset. tata will invest £4 billion at the site, directly creating 4,000 jobs and thousands more among suppliers. here students are looking forward to

between 4,000 and 6,000 jobs created and more in the supply chain. so the mood here is celebratory. but it didn't come easily or cheaply. hundreds of millions of pounds in grants were offered to tata to secure the investment over spain. and many say this will not do it on its own and we need three to four of these factories. there are 35 planned in the eu. the manufacturing map of the world is being redrawn and to be on the map you need to offer big subsidies, because the us are offering hundreds of billions in subsidies. but good news for the sector today. subsidies. but good news for the sector today-— children in some parts of england are facing waits of up to 18 months for urgent dental treatment, according to?data obtained underfreedom of information laws and analysed by bbc news.

it means that some have been left with prolonged dental pain. the parents of one girl who s waited three years for extractions have told the bbc the pain keeps her up at night. our health correspondent dominic hughes reports. ella's teeth need attention. she needs eight _ ella's teeth need attention. file: needs eight extracted. ella's teeth need attention. she needs eight extracted. she - ella's teeth need attention. she needs eight extracted. she will| ella's teeth need attention. she - needs eight extracted. she will need a reneral needs eight extracted. she will need a general anaesthetic _ needs eight extracted. she will need a general anaesthetic and _ needs eight extracted. she will need a general anaesthetic and that - needs eight extracted. she will need j a general anaesthetic and that keeps her up at night. she has waited years for treatment. it is distressing for her and her parents. herface distressing for her and her parents. her face started to swell up. her whole face hurt.

it's gone from just a couple of teeth being poorly. she's got to have eight extracted now. ella will need to have her teeth taken out under a general anaesthetic, and they regularly cause her significant pain, keeping her up at night, disrupting her schooling. ella's to wait months, years for treatment. it's distressing for her and her parents. at one point, herface actually started to swell up because it was so bad. she wasjust absolutely sobbing because it hurt, her whole face hurt, and, you know, it'sjust awful. in england, the highest average wait for children needing dental general anaesthetic is 18 months. you're waiting and waiting for something to be done about it. they're doing temporary fillings. they're doing temporaryjobs on it. it's just not, it's lasting, but lasting for a very short period of time. at maybury primary school in hull, they're trying to prevent children from being exposed to that pain in the first place. this part of east yorkshire is often referred to as a dental desert where nhs provision is scarce. hello, ella. can you come up and show us your teeth? so the "teeth team", local volunteer dentists and nurses, visit schools to spot problems before they develop. but even then they find children who will need teeth taken out. the need is exceptionally high. there's been about 10 to 11 letters per class going out to the parents.

a high proportion of those are an urgent need, which is four or more cavities in the children's teeth. some that require extraction, some that mayjust get away with simple fillings. and because it's multiple teeth that are decayed in those children's mouths, it's probably going to end up being a general anesthetic. afternoon. do you want to go and sit down in your chair? tooth decay is the most common reason for children between six and ten to be admitted to hospital. very carefully, can you scoop up the toothpaste from your paper towel? excellent. you can start your brushing. so at maybury, a school in one of the more deprived parts of hull, they're trying to instil good habits early on. every day, toothbrushing classes after lunch. if we have a family that we feel might need some support with that, they could come to us and we could provide toothbrushes and toothpaste for the children at home. and the other issue, obviously, is finding a dentist. toothbrush in the air. show me that you've finished. the department of health said work was under way to improve access to nhs dentistry and further reforms are planned. but a shortage of nhs dentists plus long waiting lists for treatment add up to months living with tooth pain for thousands of children. dominic hughes, bbc news, hull. the prime minister has

apologised to lgbt veterans who were dismissed from the military for being gay. until 2000 it was illegal to be gay and serve in the armed forces. 0ur lgbt and identity correspondent lauren moss joins us now. and this coincides with a long—awaited report into the treatment of affected veterans? this coincides with a report into the treatment of affected veterans? that's right. and lgbt veterans have called today a water shed moment. it was illegal to be gay in the armed forces into the year 2000 and anyone who was gay faced investigation and sometimes put in prison, kicked out of army, left with criminal records, homelessness and unable to claim their pension. today it is thought 5,000 people may have been affected. the prime minister called it an appalling failure and rishi sunak apologised on behalf of the the british state and met with veterans today. on the day a huge report from the government looked at the impact

the government looked at the impact the ban has had has been published. it is 267 pages long and made more than 60 recommendations that the government should make, such as annulling criminal records, individual letters of apology to those affected and a financial reward as well. the veterans have been calling for more than 20 years to be heard on this and say today means they are no longer a secret and they no longer are ignored. thank you. the former brexit party leader nigel farage says he has evidence that coutts bank decided to close his account because his views "do not align" with their values. government ministers have backed him, with the energy secretary grant shapps called the decision "disgraceful." let's talk to our political correspondent ione wells. we have had claims and counter claims, what is the latest? this started when — claims, what is the latest? this started when nigel— claims, what is the latest? ti 3 started when nigel farage claimed publicly that coutts had shut his

bank account for political reasons. at the time our business editor at simonjack was told by at the time our business editor at simon jack was told by well placed source with knowledge of the situation at coutts it was shut down for commercial reasons. they pointed to a section on the minimum amount that customers must spend, save and invest to bank with them. he did not dispute he had fallen below the threshold but he was sceptical pointing to other customers who had also fallen below and ask the bank for all the information held on him. as a result he received a long document of minutes of a meeting of the coutts wealth reputational risk committee and coutts have not denied the legitimacy of the document and we had a look on the daily mail website and the list advice price associated with him including supporting novak djokovic and his

it is only right of this house takes time to acknowledge and reflect on those veterans who have shown that experiences with the review. i and colleagues served and our armed forces at the time of the ban, i cannot imagine what it must be like tojoin the armed cannot imagine what it must be like to join the armed forces buoyed cannot imagine what it must be like tojoin the armed forces buoyed by the great spirit of service and only to discover that many believe you did not fit. i cannot imagine what must have felt like to have been hounded out of a job you love on account of your sexuality. nor can i imagine what must have been like to a livelihood and family and home simply because of the person you choose to love. yet this was the experience of many sailors and soldiers and aviators over decades and it happened here in this country are little over 20 years ago. the report published today brings this experience to life for us and

spotlights the heart felt by those affected and for that i am truly grateful. the ban was introduced in 1967, unbelievably after the sexual offences act had decriminalised same—sex acts and private. when the ban ended at the beginning of the millennium the stories of those who suffered were forgotten and records buried. in 2010—11 in line with government policy agreed by the association of chief police officers, the mod enacted a policy officers, the mod enacted a policy to destroy legacy police investigation records concerning decriminalised sexual offences so that historical decriminalised convictions could not show up on criminal record checks of service personnel. i want to assure veterans that was not a cover—up and it doesn't mean the wider service records have been destroyed. i want to place on record my thanks and gratitude to the team for compiling this, hence of report. it was

commissioned injanuary this, hence of report. it was commissioned in january 2022 this, hence of report. it was commissioned injanuary 2022 and since over 1000 people have responded with experience many insubstantial detail. i want to pay particular tribute to all those came forward, they have shown tremendous courage chronicling traumatic experience which has caused grief and shame for decades. i want to place on record my admiration and thanks to fighting with pride, especially craig and caroline have upheld the battle. the testimonies are harrowing, painting a shocking picture that is hard to comprehend. the enforcement of the ban became a witchhunt and the investigations of invasive tests and bullying and sexual abuse. 0ne doctor describes of you had to perform a test for which there was no medical chemical basis, some of the could confide in their chaplains will stunt to

confide details were passed to superiors full stop the hardships impacted on every aspect of their lives, reputations were demeaned, commissions surrendered and officers are demoted. veterans who served with distinction and i wanted medals were stripped of medals. we cannot turn back the clock but we can make amends and take action. this report makes 49 recommendations, my department and self and social care and others across government and charity and devolved administrations have a role delivering the recommendations. i know many have been waiting the publication of the report for decades to be heard. i am pleased to say since we received the report at the end of may the government has been busy working through the recommendations to ensure we can come to the house

today accepting in principle the vast majority of the recommendations. whilst we agree with the intent behind them, there are none we make in different ways to the report, we will set these out and out full response after the summer recess but i can assure the house that paul be the time we cannot only deliver restitution and redress to the lgbt community but make sure the house properly debates the report and the government response and recommendations. this is a statement today and whilst i welcome all colleagues with challenge and requests on it i decided specifically that the debate for the house should come to also give the chance to debate the recommendations. i think that is the right thing to do and whilst that may take the summer i think it is important that both the opposition and ourselves and colleagues can

hold me to account on my successor. already we have delivered six of the recommendations, we had the first was delivered by the prime minister this morning at the dispatch box. importantly be also set up a digital front door which has gone live at midday to offer information on veteran services and restorative measures to those affected by the ban. i would encourage the lgbt veterans to visit to see what support is available to them and stay informed of the delivery of recommendations. i am stay informed of the delivery of recommendations. iam happy stay informed of the delivery of recommendations. i am happy to be drawn and further details during today's questions but i think the house should have the proper time to debate and scrutinise this. i am glad today's mod is very different from the 1960s. 0ur colleagues and an integrated part of the family making a fantastic difference

minister for personnel and veterans met lgbt members of armed forces veterans before they marched under pride, an occasion that became a separate part of a military calendar. mod policy is geared towards lgbt issues, training for allies and thriving stuff networks. there is no place for prejudice in the modern armed forces, though of course things are by no means perfect which is why we continue to improve on our zero tolerance policies towards discrimination. we should not forget that we could not have reached this point would it not for some incredibly brave people. i would like to pay tribute to those you have campaign forjustice over decades, fighting with pride, rank outsiders and armed forces legal action group, cultural change ticks time particularly in large organisations like the armed forces. it can only really began when individuals are prepared to stand up and be counted. this government has shown it clears about writing

historical wrongs, which is widely brought forward this review and once we have taken the time needed to deliver recompense to the community, we look forward to the government being back at the dispatch box to outline the details later. in the report it was noted that survivor submitted for at least 23 years for acknowledgement of what they have suffered and forjustice and restitution at is about that acknowledgement, about recognising the sad personal accounts and dramatic cut in the ban has caused, acknowledging the adversity they have given, celebrating the spirit of service and taking the time to acknowledge their importance within the defence family serving on veteran. i was struck by one particular quote from a veteran who said i do not feel like a veteran, i have never asked for help and care do not feel like my service was recognised. today we want to say to all those, many now retired two and

one of us, you belong committee and in choosing to put yourself in harms way for the good your colleagues, you have proven yourself best of us. i say again i am deeply sorry for what happened to you, the tolerance and values of western democracy be denied to you, it was profoundly wrong, i am determined as defence secretary and a veteran to do all i can to rate the systolic wrong so you can once again take pride in your service and inspire future generations to follow in your footsteps. i generations to follow in your footsteps-— generations to follow in your footstes. . ~' ~ , ., footsteps. i thank the minister for the advanced _ footsteps. i thank the minister for the advanced site _ footsteps. i thank the minister for the advanced site of _ footsteps. i thank the minister for the advanced site of a _ footsteps. i thank the minister for the advanced site of a statement. | the advanced site of a statement. today— the advanced site of a statement. today might be his last appearance at the _ today might be his last appearance at the dispatch box so i want to pay tribute _ at the dispatch box so i want to pay tribute to _ at the dispatch box so i want to pay tribute to him for focusing on such an important issue for the lgbt plus committee — an important issue for the lgbt plus committee. i want to begin my response — committee. i want to begin my response by thanking the team for the diligent work on completing this
