we go live to the full round—up from the world cup. hello from the bbc sport centre. the women's world cup has lost another heavyweight. after brazil and canada, now germany have failed to reach the knockout stage for the first time in what's being descirbed as the biggest shock the tournament's ever seen. they could only draw 1—1 with south korea in brisbane, needing a win to assure progression. the second—ranked team in the world couldn't find a winner and now they're out of a competition they've won twice. the two teams to go through were playing each other in perth. and morocco's 1—0 win over colombia, provided by anissa lahmari, was enough to send them through at the expense of germany, who they lost to 6—0 in their opening game. morocco are ranked 72nd in the world and the only one of the eight debutants to make it through to the last 16. i think they're the lowest ranked

team coming into the world cup. to come out of a group where nobody gave them hope, they lost 6—0 in the opening game to germany. what was so impressive about that was the togetherness they showed. i also like the fact that the girl that wore the hijab, for the growth of the game, i think for muslim women and young girls to see a female play in a major tournament, on such a big stage, i think that visibility is crucial moving forward. so here they are taking their place in the knockout stage where they'll play france. that'll be the final last 16 match. it all starts on saturday with spain against switzerland. holders the usa meet sweden on sunday. while european champions england face nigeria, one of the now three teams from africa who've qualified from the groups. that is on monday. seven—time super bowl champion tom brady has become the latest high profile sports star to get involved with an english football club. lebronjames has a small share in liverpool, jj watt is a burnley shareholder, and now brady has become a minority owner at a second tier

team. here is the deal. i am officially coming on board at birmingham city football club. birmingham's new owners say they've entered into a partnership with the nfl legend, who will become the chair of an advisory board, offering up his expertise on nutrition and opening up possible new commercial deals. brady retired from playing earlier this year, while birmingham finished 17th in the championship and haven't been in the premier league since 2011. well, there's another world cup going on right now. apart from the one involving both teams in new zealand. and there was a significant win for england over australia in the netball tournament in cape town. both had qualified for the semifinals before their meeting, but england's 56—55 victory is their first over the world number ones in this competition. jamaica's win over defending champions new zealand means they finish top of their group and will face australia in the last four. england's opponents will be new zealand unless south africa beat uganda

by a massive margin. that is currently not happening, although they are ten a head. 21—11. that next to another change to the rugby league world cup. it was due to held in france in 2025, but after they withdrew for financial reasons, the southern hemisphere will now host the tournament in 2026. the last edition of the competition was held in the uk in 2022, the same year france was awarded hosting rights for the next one after initial plans for it to be held in north america for the first time were scrapped. the ashes test series has also been reinstated, with england's men and women to tour australia in 2025. the reality is, these competitions are significant in their logistics and organisation, and to have a truncated one as it is now is always something that would have been difficult for france. it is a stretch, 12 months less than france had for a nation. we have a proposal

for 2025 from a country, but we thought, in gratitude to the success was to move it to 2026 in a different format as well. so we had to make that decision as a board fought not only this world cup but the world cup is going forward. much more reaction — the world cup is going forward. much more reaction to _ the world cup is going forward. much more reaction to that _ the world cup is going forward. much more reaction to that women's world cup. 0n the website, you can find out. and that's all the sport for now. its now 18—months since russia's full—scale invasion of ukraine. in that time, more than six—million ukrainians have fled their homeland — and more than five—million people are internally displaced. our special correspondent fergal keane has followed the fortunes of one family he met at the beginning of the war, as they left ukraine — to travel to britain. 0n the line that once carried them to exile, a family is homeward bound. 0ksana and her children,

ana and ilya, are refugees. it's been 18 months since this... this is hard to credit, to believe in the europe of 2022. people are just crushing all around me, trying to get on to these trains. many thousands fled ukraine through lviv railway station, like 0ksana, her husband, zhenya, and their children. this photo taken just weeks before the war. the moment of their separation. men of fighting age couldn't leave the country.

zhenya went home to this... the city of kharkiv under a russian siege. a year after saying goodbye to his family, zhenya was eking out an existence with food aid. his job as a massage therapist vanished with the war. inside... ..memories of the old life. 0n the other side of europe, 1,500 miles away, the distance between war and peace. if — present, simple. present, simple. if you leave the object, it drops.

0ksana and the children found refuge in surrey. if to describe a possible situation. an english speaker, she's teaching the children of ukrainian refugees. i became strong, i think. uh, yeah, ifaced some difficulties. i must be a mother, a father, a teacher. yeah. among the pupils, herson, ilya. they miss ukraine so much. i miss for my dad and i feel sad right now because he's not next to me. but, as winter passes into spring... ..and then to summer, a plan is being made. 18 months after fleeing the war, they're returning for a holiday in a safe place away from the front line. can you sleep at night now that you're... no, i'm so excited.

what do you think it's going to be like when you get there? very sunny and happy. back on home soil at last. ukrainian flag. we're in ukraine. no!! you're home. lovely. and then on towards the east on this last long night. i've never had such exciting emotions and feelings like i have 110w. every hour we are closer and closer to him. never was a morning so happy.

for a moment, everybody beyond words. 0ne family's answer to the cruelty of war. fergal keane, bbc news, ukraine. five people have been arrested after greenpeace protesters scaled rishi sunak�*s north yorkshire constituency home. they were demonstrating at the announcement of new north sea oil and gas licences. greenpeace said campaigners had unfurled "oil—black fabric" on one side of the house near northallerton. mr sunak and his family are on holiday in california. let's go to westminster — our political correspondent ben wright who is there for us now. what happened 7 what happened? this began at 6am this morning — what happened? this began at 6am this morning when _ what happened? this began at 6am this morning when they _ what happened? this began at 6am this morning when they got - what happened? this began at 6am this morning when they got into - what happened? this began at 6am this morning when they got into the j this morning when they got into the grounds of rishi sunak�*s manor house ins north yorkshire, scaling the refusing ladders, and unfurling oil

black drapes over the front of the house. the protesters were are there for some hours. the north yorkshire police were called around 8am, and it wasn't until one o'clock that the protesters came down. as you said, five people in total have been arrested, or have been charged with causing criminal damage and public nuisance, a third man arrested on suspicion of causing a public nuisance. they remain in custody. the prime minister is not there. he is on holiday in california with his family. there are some reports at the protest first door first of all, before they went on the roof, to say that this was peaceful. but, it is over. it is extraordinary that they managed to get access to the roof of the prime minister's constituency home. one tory mp pointed that out, saying, this doesn't seem a very serious... this seems like a serious security breach, that the protesters could do this. they are protesting because of the government's announcement that they are going to

issue new oil and gas drilling licences for the north sea. that is a decision defended by the deputy prime minister, 0liver dowden, who is running things on the prime minister is a way, who said in an interview today that people were sick of these stupid stunts. what sick of these stupid stunts. what these peeple _ sick of these stupid stunts. what these people are _ sick of these stupid stunts. what these people are saying, - sick of these stupid stunts. what these people are saying, these protesters, is that they are angry at the 100 north sea oil and gas prices that have been granted. talk us very bad policy, what exactly are they worried about? the government issued these — they worried about? the government issued these licences, _ they worried about? the government issued these licences, as _ they worried about? the government issued these licences, as i _ they worried about? the government issued these licences, as i said, - they worried about? the government issued these licences, as i said, a - issued these licences, as i said, a few days ago, arguing that they are vital to both securing britain's energy reserves in the years ahead, particularly with the incivility around the world, but also, helping britain meet its 2015 at zero target. it is a very controversial decision. the labour party have said it is a huge mistake and blows a hole in the government's environmental credentials, campaigners like greenpeace eight is

the last thing the government should be doing now, which is taking fossil fuels out of the north sea. so, it is a very live political issue, and what we have seen today is one prominent pressure group responding with their own direct action. thank ou ve with their own direct action. thank you very much- — with their own direct action. thank you very much. some _ with their own direct action. thank you very much. some breaking - with their own direct action. thank you very much. some breaking news regarding our main story. the bank of england raising the cost of borrowing interest rates to... rishi sunak�*s target now looks within reach. the chancellor of the exchequer coricjeremy hunt, says it is working. underneath that decision, _ says it is working. underneath that decision, there _ says it is working. underneath that decision, there is _ says it is working. underneath that decision, there is a - says it is working. underneath that decision, there is a forecastl that decision, there is a forecast that decision, there is a forecast that says that this time next year, inflation will be 2.8%, and we will have avoided recession. and what are

the bank of england's governor is saying, is that we have a plan bringing down inflation solidly, robustly, and consistently. so, the plan is working. what we have to do, as a government, is make sure we stick to that plan, not to veer around like a shopping trolley. we stick to that so that families and businesses can start to feel the benefits of that plan working. what benefits of that plan working. what many people _ benefits of that plan working. what many people are — benefits of that plan working. what many people are starting to feel in the uk is the pinch to their mortgages, of course, rising interest rates mean that higher mortgage repayments for many homeowners across the country. with that in mind, we head to oui’ our head of statistics who is in the newsroom. on is in the newsroom. trackers ? is there an end in sight to these rises? tell me about those tracking mortgages. that is what many people are looking at. that is what they are looking at. that is what they are worrying about. the are looking at. that is what they are worrying about.— are looking at. that is what they are worrying about. the rates that we have seen. _ are worrying about. the rates that we have seen, the _ are worrying about. the rates that we have seen, the rises _ are worrying about. the rates that

we have seen, the rises over - are worrying about. the rates that we have seen, the rises over the i we have seen, the rises over the last year, they have seen them facing mid 2000 interest rates plus 2020 house prices. for them, the news is hopefully stabilising. we hope that based on today's predictions, there are not too many rises to go. they aren't going to drop back down. 5% is likely to be here to stay. there is one word of warning on these predictions, they are very uncertain. if we wind back the clock to the start ofjuly, things were looking a lot less hopeful, and the markets are betting interest rates would go as high as 6.5%, plus,... that is the base rate of the banks. if we go back to may, we would see that the markets were betting we would never reach 5%. so, today's story is flattening out around 5.25, but that is today's story, today is another day. for people following the tracker rates and the standard variable rates. there is only about one fifth of

people with mortgages in the uk. most are on fixed rates. why are these going down? when the bank rate is rising? these going down? when the bank rate is risin: ? , these going down? when the bank rate is risinu? , . these going down? when the bank rate is risin: ? , ., ., is rising? they are going in opposite — is rising? they are going in opposite directions. - is rising? they are going in opposite directions. you i is rising? they are going in i opposite directions. you could is rising? they are going in - opposite directions. you could be forgiven for being confused. the reason for the difference is that fixed—rate mortgages, and the officer to get, they don'tjust depend on today's interest rates, they depend on the rates expected to happen to them over the five years that you are getting the loan. when those expectations about the future become more pessimistic, the rates go become more pessimistic, the rates 9° up, become more pessimistic, the rates go up, and when they go down, things get a bit back. the banks are middlemen. they go into the market and passing gusts you with a little bit extra for themselves. you can see the ghost of their borrowing in the chart. when things topped out at the chart. when things topped out at the start ofjuly, you you can see the start ofjuly, you you can see the cost for a bank reach the levels we were seeing around the time of the mini budget last year, but since then, as things have become more optimistic, the rates will flatten

out, people have hope, we have seen that they have been coming down, passing them on, little by little, under the consumer. the passing them on, little by little, under the consumer.— passing them on, little by little, under the consumer. the banks have been getting — under the consumer. the banks have been getting those _ under the consumer. the banks have been getting those predictions - under the consumer. the banks have j been getting those predictions wrong on the rising prices, haven't they? we can see why the banks interest rate's forecasts have been in the news, the next chart shows, and what people hope the banks do, is they raise interest rates to stand down on inflation. their decisions they make are guided by what they think is going to happen to inflation. let's see what happened to it. let's add the projections of the bank have been making to guide their decisions. before the war, they were a bit optimistic. we all probably were. you saw it coming? in the second half of 2022, they probably over called the peak. and then, they were being a bit pessimistic. going into this year, et that the projections are closer. you would have to zoom quite a lot way in to

see this, they are still probably being a bit optimistic about the inflation going down. this will drive their decision, it begs the question, if they had different models, if they had called the size of the uk problem earlier, where they have made different decisions? that is to do with a bang's forecasting. it is partly an assessment of how we deal with the world which has so much uncertainty, pandemics, walls, one like we see near the last few years. fight! pandemics, walls, one like we see near the last few years.— near the last few years. and is absolutely _ near the last few years. and is absolutely a — near the last few years. and is absolutely a difficult _ near the last few years. and is absolutely a difficult task. - near the last few years. and is l absolutely a difficult task. thank you very much. around the world and across uk, this is bbc news. people believe, just because you are from a bad background that you are not going to achieve much. but i believe that this project is helping to disprove that. i this pro'ect is helping to disprove that. . . this pro'ect is helping to disprove that. ., ., ., ' this pro'ect is helping to disprove that. ., ., ., , ., that. i am a graffiti artist from itirmingham- _ that. i am a graffiti artist from birmingham. today _ that. i am a graffiti artist from birmingham. today we - that. i am a graffiti artist from birmingham. today we are - that. i am a graffiti artist from - birmingham. today we are working on a project empowering youth voices through graffiti and protest art. you can express yourself to your art. �* , , .,. ., ,

football earlier this year at 45 years old, will become chairman of a new advisory board for the club. here's managerjohn eustace's reaction to the news. i found out this ifound out this morning like everyone else, but it is a real statement of intent from the football club. speaking to the owners during the summer, they said that they wanted to make birmingham city a global brand, and to bring in somebody, one of the most famous sportsman in the world, to have him come in a be associated with the club is very exciting. well, i will have to be now. no, it is a sport obviously i have seen a little bit off. 0bviously, obviously i have seen a little bit off. obviously, i know who tommy is. we are looking forward to meeting him, and working with him. let's speak to cliff horrocks, chairman of the blues trust, a birmingham city supporters group. thank you forjoining us. how excited are you? it is good news? yes, very good news. i think that the phrases, the blues fans are

buzzing. blues fans were buzzing anyway, with what is going on with the new ownership, and the amount of things going on, the different announcements and announcements so far. this announcement, it is fantastic. we are not used to having birmingham city football club and world stage in the same sentence. but we are now, and it is fantastic. i tagged you talked about the new owners, how has communication been? have a talk to you? what have they said? they are certainly going through a process, now, of going through a process, now, of going through talking to all of the supporters groups. to really see... the other side of what they are doing is, they want to be big in the community, they want to help the community, they want to help the community around the ground, and the blues fans. they are talking to supporters groups at the moment to work out what the plan is about helping the community, as well as

the city of birmingham as a whole. we saw ryan reynolds and what he did with wrexham. what are your hopes for tom brady? flit with wrexham. what are your hopes for tom brady?— for tom brady? of course. and, i thinkthat — for tom brady? of course. and, i think that the — for tom brady? of course. and, i think that the owner _ for tom brady? of course. and, i think that the owner said, - for tom brady? of course. and, i think that the owner said, as - for tom brady? of course. and, i | think that the owner said, as they were taking over, that there is no limit to what they want to achieve, here. and, the appointment so far, and how they have addressed the situation, and so quickly got on with things, makes you think, yes, there are no limits to what they want to do with the club. fantastic. thank ou want to do with the club. fantastic. thank you very _ want to do with the club. fantastic. thank you very much _ want to do with the club. fantastic. thank you very much indeed. - it's hard to find a more recognisable rockstar than freddie mercury. queen fans are in for a treat this week, as they'll have the chance to look at the singer's private record collection, his artwork and flamboyant stage costumes. the exhibition is on display in london ahead of an auction of freddie's personal possessions, that have until now been looked after by one of his closest friends. david sillito has been to take a look. yes, that's a giant moustache

outside sotheby�*s sale room. and inside, this, the famous graffitied green door that led to freddie's garden, freddie's record collection, freddie's kitchen. freddie's costumes. there's even freddie's moustache comb. #mama...# and for fans of classics, like bohemian rhapsody, there are on display little clues to how he created his songs. what am i looking at here? well, we're looking at here, this is the earliest surviving draft for bohemian rhapsody. there's the title. yes, yes. but then, if you look underneath, there is a cancelled earlier title, where he had written "mongolian rhapsody". so bohemian rhapsody

was originally mongolian rhapsody. so it seems, yeah. # but now the party's over... and even those who knew freddie well, there are surprises, as we discovered with one regular visitor to freddie's home back in the 80s — songwriter tim rice. do you know what you were doing on the 14th ofjune, 1987? no. let me go... i've got something here for you. freddie, you see, was very organised. and there is a book with a record of every dinner party. oh, wow. good heavens. so you were having cold tomato soup, lamb in puff pastry, new potatoes, carrots, salad. with a rather nice white — chateauneuf du pape. and a red volnay. wow. just four of us round that magnificent table. wow. i mean, i rememberthe evening. he was very civilised. and, if you didn't know

he was a mega rock star, you might not know that. i mean, he was the opposite a lot of the time from the image he had on stage. so there it is, a free exhibition of a lifetime of memories that will, in a few weeks, be sold off in six freddie sales. this is a once—only moment. they are expecting quite a few visitors. david sillito, bbc news, sotheby�*s. wonderful. before we go, there is plenty more on our website about the stories. we have a little bit of good news, climate change is apparently seeing a species of migratory butterflies stay in the uk over the winter instead of returning to europe and africa. this is of course be red admiral butterfly, and the charity, butterfly count,

reported a fourfold increase in sightings of this butterfly, continuing what they call a long—term trend. that and all the other stories you want to read about on the website. stay weather is here on the website. stay weather is here on bbc news. stay with us here on bbc news. hello. the weather is not looking too bad over the next couple of days, generally sunshine and showers knocking around. however, as we head into saturday, it's going to turn very wet, particularly so across northern ireland, england and wales. and bear in mind, parts of the south of the uk, even though we're only three days into the new month, have already had a third of the average rainfall. there's more on the way, as i say. today is an ok day, though. sunny spells and passing showers. the showers probably most frequent across parts of the midlands running into eastern england. quite a few showers for northern ireland, but they'll tend to be quite light and i suspect the showers become a little bit less widespread for wales and south west england. so more in the way of dry weather here increasingly through the afternoon. so some of you will stay dry

with sunny spells coming through from time to time overnight. a few more showers will keep going, particularly around coastal areas and especially across northeast england, north and east scotland. temperatures about 11 to 1a degrees overnight. and then tomorrow, yeah, it's another showery kind of day. however, as we head into the afternoon, the showers will want to concentrate in one area especially, and that's across eastern england. that's because we've got one of these convergence zones where the winds bash together. it will concentrate the showers here. but if you're away from that, for example, across wales, western england, parts of northern ireland, west scotland, it should be largely dry tomorrow afternoon with some fairly decent sunshine coming through, but temperatures still a bit below par for the time of year. it's through friday night and into the weekend that we've got our next batch of really wet weather to come through. also very windy, too. now the heavy rain will initially start off in northern ireland. quite gusty winds here for a time too, before it works in across england and wales, especially as we go through saturday. and with gusts of wind around 50 or 60mph across parts of wales, 40—50mph or so for parts of southern

england, could bring some localised disruption. then we've got the heavy rain too factor in as well. now it won't be raining everywhere all the time. across scotland it'll be ok. sunny spells here a few passing showers, but the unsettled theme does continue, i'm afraid, through sunday and into the early part of next week as well. however, after that, it looks like we'll see our first area of high pressure building in for some seven weeks, and come thursday, might only last a day or two, it looks like we'll see something drier, sunnier and warmer. temperatures in the warmest spots could reach the high 20s or even low 30s.

live from london. this is bbc news. the bank of england raises interest rates to 5.25%, the highest for 15 years, in an attempt to curb inflation. the plan is working but what we have to do is a government is make sure that we stick to that plan. we don't veer around like a shopping trolley, we stick to that plan so that families and businesses can start to feel the benefits of that plan actually working. the feel the benefits of that plan actuall workinu. ., actually working. the government need to take _ actually working. the government need to take response _ actually working. the government need to take response ability - actually working. the government need to take response ability for. need to take response ability for the fact— need to take response ability for the fact that inflation in the uk is much _ the fact that inflation in the uk is much higher than it is in comparable countries _ donald trump faces another day in court. he'll be formally charged with plotting to overturn the result of the 2020 presidential election.

this is the court building live in washington where security is tightened ahead of mr trump's appearance in a few hours. us pop star lizzo hits back at allegations of harrasment and discrimination. she says they're "as unbelievable as they sound". and five people are arrested after greenpeace activists climbed on to the roof of prime minister rishi sunak�*s house in yorkshire. hello, i'm maryam moshiri, welcome to verified live, interest rates will stay higher for longer in an effort to curb rising prices. that was the message from the bank of england today as it raised rates again — up to 5.25%. borrowing costs are now at their highest for 15 years. it will mean higher mortgages and loans payments for many people in the uk but it should also mean higher savings for some.
