the ecb s decision to raise its benchmark rate by a 0.25% to 3.75% matches a peak last reached in 2001, at a time when it was trying to boost the value of the newly—launched euro currency, which is now used in 20 countries. ecb president christine lagarde has warned consumer prices are still rising too fast and kept its options open for further increases. what i can assure you of, is that we are not going to cut. that is a definite no. but, on the other side, it could be a hike, it could be a pause. if it is a pause, it would not necessarily be for an extended period of time, because as i said, it will vary from meeting to meeting, because we continue to decide

on a meeting by meeting basis, every time, informed by the data. a day after the us federal reserve raised its interest rate for the 11th time, new data suggests that it's not excessively dampening the world's biggest economy. a preliminary estimate suggests that the us economy grew 2.4% on an annualised basis between april and june; much stronger than expected. on the downside, growth in consumer spending slowed after an unusually strong start to the year, but the reduction was more than offset by strong business investment. joining me now is katharina neiss — she is the chief european economist at p—gym fixed income. thank you for being with us today. let's start with the european decision. we heard christine lingard leaving the door open to further rate rises. would you expect more would you expect we are at the peak

now? i would you expect we are at the peak now? ~ , , . ., now? i think big picture, we are caettin now? i think big picture, we are getting very _ now? i think big picture, we are getting very close _ now? i think big picture, we are getting very close to _ now? i think big picture, we are getting very close to peak - now? i think big picture, we are| getting very close to peak range. now? i think big picture, we are - getting very close to peak range. we may see some signs of fine tuning, in terms of where interest rates are topping out. in the case of the us you mention some data that came in today. stepping back, ithink central banks, both at the ecb, and in the us federal reserve, are telling us that, based on the data we have now, they are not expecting a succession of further interest rate rises, and nor, as your clip on the president of the ecb showed, are they signalling a succession of aggressive interest rate cuts on the horizon either. 50 aggressive interest rate cuts on the horizon either.— horizon either. so we could be bouncin: horizon either. so we could be bouncing along _ horizon either. so we could be bouncing along at _ horizon either. so we could be bouncing along at this - horizon either. so we could be bouncing along at this level i horizon either. so we could be| bouncing along at this level for some time. let's look at more detail at the us data. itjust suggests the us economy is holding up well, despite those rate rises. the expectation was that it could be one more and done, in terms of the

federal approach to interest rates. do you think there is a chance that this could mean the fed could look more favourably on more rate rises in future? at more favourably on more rate rises in future? �* . , , in future? at the margin this very resilient data _ in future? at the margin this very resilient data would _ in future? at the margin this very resilient data would point - in future? at the margin this very resilient data would point to - in future? at the margin this very resilient data would point to an i resilient data would point to an increased possibility that interest rates could rise further. as i said, i think the big picture here is that, unlike the situation as it was just a few short months ago, when really it looked like succession of interest rate rises were pretty much a done dealfor interest rate rises were pretty much a done deal for central interest rate rises were pretty much a done dealfor central banks, that that now is being called into question, and that is very much the message that we heard from the ecb. while it is likely to be a relief for borrowers to know that interest rates are likely to be near their peak, it also means that we are likely to be facing these higher interest rates for quite some time. here in the uk, the bank of england will make its next decision next

week. the expectation as it will raise its rate once again. inflation is stickier here, even though it is coming down at the last readout. there are concerns that the economy could be more vulnerable to a recession. do you think next week's could be the last one? the recession. do you think next week's could be the last one?— could be the last one? the uk is facin: a could be the last one? the uk is facing a particularly _ could be the last one? the uk is facing a particularly challengingl facing a particularly challenging inflation situation. it is both experiencing a very hot labour market, a very tight labour market, as we are seeing in the us, and like in europe, we are still seeing those higher energy prices from a year or so ago working their way through the headline inflation. the uk is being uniquely affected by what i call a double whammy. that means that there is more uncertainty around what the bank of england is likely to do next week. i think it is possible that we could see them pursue a slightly more aggressive rise in interest

rates of around 50 basis points. there are still some time to go between the next meeting, but based on the data so far we cannot discount that is a possibilityjust yet. discount that is a possibility 'ust et. . . . , , discount that is a possibility 'ust et. . ., ., ,, ., ., yet. katharina neiss, thank you for “oininu us yet. katharina neiss, thank you for joining us with _ yet. katharina neiss, thank you for joining us with your— yet. katharina neiss, thank you for joining us with your thoughts. - three of the uk's largest banks have said they will cut mortgage rates. changes by barclays, nationwide and tsb reflect better—than—expected june inflation figures and optimism that price rises are coming under control. their decision follows the lead of another bank, hsbc, which cut the cost of around 100 products earlier this week. the payments provider mastercard has moved to block americans from buying marijuana with its debit cards. while the drug is legal in many individual states, it's still illegal at a federal level which means that most credit

card providers cannot facilitate its purchase. many cannabis retailers accept debit cards as a workaround. mastercard said it must uphold federal law. democrats in congress have been trying to change those laws. our business correspondent michelle fleury is in new york. michelle, thank you for being with us. what is this going to mean for these cannabis dispensaries? it is not a new these cannabis dispensaries? it 3 not a new problem, as these cannabis dispensaries? it 1 not a new problem, as you say, because of the way the federal law governs this. it has always been a difficult question about banking stop none of the major banks in the country provide services to these cannabis dispensaries, and so they have had to rely on, either workarounds in some cases, or otherwise, on old—fashioned cash. clearly with these debit cards, they found a way to work around it, even though visa and mastercard have always said that they don't provide

banking services to the cannabis industry, itjust confirms an existing problem that dispensaries are grappling with, and of course, one of the big issues when you are a cash business, there has been that fear that they were ripe targets for crime and theft, because people knew that they had so much cash on hand in the shops. that they had so much cash on hand in the shone— that they had so much cash on hand in the shops. indeed. we are hearing that the democrats _ in the shops. indeed. we are hearing that the democrats in _ in the shops. indeed. we are hearing that the democrats in congress - in the shops. indeed. we are hearing that the democrats in congress are l that the democrats in congress are trying to change the law. what is happening with those efforts? there is this bill that — happening with those efforts? there is this bill that is _ happening with those efforts? there is this bill that is being _ happening with those efforts? ii—iiff is this bill that is being advanced called the safe banking act. that is to try to address the problem. if you are legalising in various states, i think it is more than 30 states, i think it is more than 30 states at the moment, where the use of marijuana is allowed, so if you start moving in that direction, and you start growing this industry, and at some point, people are looking sun going we need to address this banking issue. the safe banking act was meant to, essentially, make it not illegal for banks to provide

those kinds of services. at the moment you only have small players providing services. the idea would be to bring in the bigger players. the problem is that it is hitting roadblocks in congress. at the moment there were hopes that a vote would be taken in the senate before summer recess. that hasn't happened, so the earliest you could have a vote is in the fall. for the industry it is a fight that they are well familiar with and one that continues for now, with no end in sight, as i say, with this law that would address some of these issues being kicked down the road. michelle fleu , being kicked down the road. michelle fleury. thank— being kicked down the road. michelle fleury. thank you _ being kicked down the road. michelle fleury, thank you very _ being kicked down the road. michelle fleury, thank you very much. - in other news: the chief executive of coutts bank — which exclusively serves wealthy people in the uk — is stepping down "with immediate effect". peter flavel�*s departure follows the scandal around the bank's decision to close the account of the prominent brexit campaigner, nigel farage,

since it was discovered by a farmer on the island of bryher in 1999. researchers said new analysis of tooth enamel revealed the warrior was most likely a woman. live now to dr sarah stark. human skeletal biologist at historic england which led the research. thank you so much for being with us. i wonder if you could just start off by telling our viewers, back in 1999, what was actually found? tell us about that first of all. that 1999, what was actually found? tell us about that first of all.— us about that first of all. that is an interesting _ us about that first of all. that is an interesting story. _ us about that first of all. that is an interesting story. it - us about that first of all. that is an interesting story. it was - us about that first of all. that is an interesting story. it was a i an interesting story. it was a rescue excavation, found on a farmer's field, and what was found was a burial, and when they uncovered it, they found there was a number of grave goods, or objects, buried with this person,. unfortunately the skeleton had degraded, so there wasn't much left in terms of the bone or teeth. that is what has led to this over 20 year

debate as to whether this important person was a male or female. that comes down to because swords are typically found to be with males,. there was only this one skeleton, so tell me what you have now established.— tell me what you have now established. ., , tell me what you have now established. . , ., established. there have been a cou-le of established. there have been a couple of different _ established. there have been a couple of different tests - established. there have been a couple of different tests done. | established. there have been a. couple of different tests done. a dna test was done back in 1999, and another 120 years later. unfortunately the dna didn't survive very well. there wasn't any left. that happens quite commonly in archaeology, where sometimes the dna erodes away, especially in a harsh soil environment like the sea and the isles of scilly. we have another technique that is really starting to emerge, when said of using dna, we are able to use proteins. the

importance of proteins is that they are found in our teeth. they have that same link to x and y chromosomes, but protein survive much better than dna, which is wonderfulfor much better than dna, which is wonderful for us much better than dna, which is wonderfulfor us in much better than dna, which is wonderful for us in archaeology. this is how we were able to get a really strong result that this person was a female. presumably presumably that challenges all sorts of conventional wisdom in terms of the warriors in the iron age? absolutely, it is really fascinating, because this isjust absolutely, it is really fascinating, because this is just a stepping stone. we can go back and rethink what the role of women was in the iron age, especially at a time where we don't have much historical documentation, and we are now able to really rethink if there were more female warriors out there, and this may not be that uncommon. fit, and this may not be that uncommon. a final quick thought, and in terms of

the investigation of efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election defeat. nbc news has reported that, and also abc news, reporting that lawyers for donald trump arrived at the office of the us special counsel. this has been talked about for a number of days, in terms of anticipating this particular move. the special counsel making this move, but we are keeping an eye on that with those reports that donald trump's attorneys have been told to expect an indictment in the efforts to overturn the 2020 election defeat. those just some of the lines coming into us from washington. you are watching bbc news. we listen to antonio guterres

talking about an area of global boiling. we are expecting to hear comments from joe biden. live now to the white house — and the bbc�*sjon donnison. what are we expecting to hear, given everything that is going on? this announcement _ everything that is going on? this announcement is _ everything that is going on? t1u1 announcement is timely, because you have got 40% of americans this week living under some kind of heat alert. here in washington, dc it is expected to get up to around 37 degrees this afternoon. that is positively mild compared to some places in the united states will stop in phoenix and arizona they have had 28 days in a row, where temperatures have been over 110 fahrenheit, well over lto degrees. that is a record. president biden is going to be meeting the mayors of some of those cities that are worst affected, phoenix, and san antonio

in texas. he is going to be announcing a number of measures to try to deal with some of the symptoms of climate change. they include better protection for workers, particularly farm workers, those working in construction, those working outside. there is going to be a new heat alert system which will allow employers to receive guidance on whether their workers should be working outside. there is going to be more money for better weather forecasting, and going to be more money for better weatherforecasting, and more money for water storage, particularly in western states which have been affected by drought. i think the criticism, however, will be that these are all measures to deal with these are all measures to deal with the symptoms of climate change, they are not dealing with the causes. i think the truth is that, faced with a congress that is sometimes inclined to drag its feet a bit on measures to reduce america's carbon emissions, that president biden hasn't been able to act effectively or quickly enough. we will return to

you when we hear from or quickly enough. we will return to you when we hearfrom president biden, but thank you for taking us through that. we are expecting to hear from joe through that. we are expecting to hearfrom joe biden in through that. we are expecting to hear from joe biden in the through that. we are expecting to hearfrom joe biden in the next little while. police say the death of sinead o'connor is not being treated as suspicious following the discovery of her body on wednesday. the singer and activist died age 56 at her home in london. police said she was found "unresponsive" and "pronounced dead at the scene" and that her family had been notified. she was best known for her 1990 hit nothing compares 2 u. # �*cause nothing compares nothing compares to you # it�*s been so lonely without you here, a bird without a song # we have heard so many tributes. 0ne we have heard so many tributes. one

of them, herformer we have heard so many tributes. one of them, her former manager, we have heard so many tributes. one of them, herformer manager, has been speaking to the bbc, and explained and the singer came to record her most famous hit. she became aware of it because i had been aware of the original from a group from minneapolis, which was a song that somebody knows, was written by prince,. it was a couple of years before, may be in the mid—eighties. i was very enamoured of the song and eventually gave a copy of it to sinead and suggested that maybe she might think about recording it. ultimately she did, in just an amazingly beautiful and painful, heart—rending kind of manner. the first time i ever heard her sing it was actually a cappella, with no accompaniment whatsoever.

we both went to, what was known then as a gay pride rally in london, with maybe a couple of thousand people, male and female, and the organiser, who i knew, asked me if sinead would sing. she said that she would sing but she didn�*t have a guitar. isaid, "sing nothing compares 2 u, a cappella." she stood up and sang it a cappella, and itjust... i don�*t want to be melodramatic, but there were tears rolling down people�*s faces. the reason we were there was to support that community, at a time when, first of all, margaret thatcher was in power, and there was clause 28 and everything, and secondly, ades was decimating some of those aids was decimating some of those

people, notjust in people, but around the world. this song, i think, just meant everything to the people who were listening to it, whether they had lost partners, whether they themselves were suffering from the dreadful virus, or whatever. that was a moment that will live with me forever, irrespective of the subsequent worldwide success of the song. an amazing story. we will have more tributes on our programme in the next hour or so. we live in ukraine, and live in moscow. we are waiting for those comments on climate change from joe biden. all of that coming up. it will be a busy hour coming up. it will be a busy hour coming up. after the weather with ben rich. hello. if you spent your day under cloudy sky i�*m sure you will

notice the muggy feel to proceedings. when the sun came out, temperatures climbed quite readily. 0n the earlier satellite picture, you can see we have had quite a lot of cloud, but some big breaks, some spells of sunshine. just behind me, this swirl of cloud. that is the centre of an area of low pressure which is pushing eastward, bringing unsettled conditions. in the short—term we keep quite a lot of cloud and mist and murk, some rain overnight, although signs of some clearer skies edging in from the west. temperatures between 11 and 16 degrees, so another fairly warm and muggy start to friday morning. for friday, quite a lot of cloud around across the eastern half of the uk to start. this band of rain moving very slowly across 0rkney and toward shetland. later in the day we will see this band of showers pushing on towards northern ireland. in between, a bit more in the way of sunshine, just one or two showers here and there, and temperatures between 17 and 26 degrees. i think there is just the chance of catching a shower at the 0val for the ashes test match, and the increasing chance of showers as we head into the weekend. that is because low pressure

is going to be in charge of our weather. we have had low pressure with us for the last couple of weekends and here we go again. around this area of low pressure it is not going to be raining all the time, but there will be quite a few showers. on saturday, those showers are most likely to affect parts of northern ireland and scotland, where some could be heavy and perhaps thundery. some showers for england and wales, perhaps not as many, some spells of sunshine in between. it will be a breezy and fresh feeling day, temperatures 15 to 22 degrees. into sunday, sunshine and showers again, the showers perhaps focused across parts of northern england, down into east anglia. more rain later in the day into northern ireland. across central and southern parts of the uk it is going to be an unusually windy day for the time of year. nothing exceptional, nothing extreme, butjust unusually breezy for a latejuly day. quite cool as well, 15 to 21 degrees. to sum things up, for the weekend we will see a mix of sunny spells and showers. some showers will be heavy.

it will be quite breezy and feeling rather cool for the time of year. live from london. this is bbc news. ? the world is in a new era of "global boiling" — the un�*s dire warning about the dangers of climate change. in europe, it�*s a cruel summer. for the entire planet, it is a disaster. and for scientists,
