a decade after being legally blocked from suing the government. in sport... it was mayhem in munich, as harry kane's bayern put four past manchester united in the champions league on a night when arsenal also scored four. if you got caught in the torrential rain yesterday, you are probably -lad rain yesterday, you are probably glad to— rain yesterday, you are probably glad to hear it will be brighter today — glad to hear it will be brighter today a— glad to hear it will be brighter today. a mix of sunshine and showers but still _ today. a mix of sunshine and showers but still windy in scotland. all the details _ but still windy in scotland. all the details coming up on breakfast. it's thursday, the 21st of september. our top story. the bank of england could raise interest rates for the 15th time in a row today — taking the official rate to 5.5%, which would be its highest level in more than 15 years. however, after yesterday's small drop in inflation, some economists suggest that interest rates may have peaked. our cost of living correspondent, colletta smith, reports. so the advisers will be speaking to customers, talking them

through a benefits assessment. we can see there... if interest rates go up again today, here at this free debt advice centre, sabrina says things will get even busier. with an additional rate rise, we are absolutely going to see more homeowners struggling to keep up with the pace of those mortgage increases. the bank of england has voted to raise rates 1a times in a row, going from 0.25% to 5.25%. they're hoping that higher interest rates make people spend less, and so shop prices start to fall. the better inflation numbers than anticipated yesterday mean that the bank of england has now a greater chance of keeping rates steady. it means that the bank of england's plan is working. inflation is falling in line with the expectations of the bank of england. and that's a good sign. rising food, petrol, energy costs, rent, mortgage costs are things that everybody ultimately has to pay. so, therefore, it isn't a case of over commitment. oftentimes, it isjust that

expenditures are increasing beyond what they can afford to pay. that's what's happened to jackie. i owe several thousand in my mortgage payments. i owe approximately 300 quid in my energy bills. i owe for council taxes. i owe on my mobile. she's a former ba air hostess, but an autoimmune disease left her bedridden and unable to work. after a relationship breakup and two girls to look after, she's not able to afford the household bills. when you're counting how many pennies you have in your purse... when you're thinking, 0k, my daughter's left £1 in pocket money... sorry. ..in her room.

yeah, i could use that to buy a pot noodle. at the moment, your goal isjust to try and keep making some payments to sort of all of your debts. at the moment, ijust do a goodwill gesture whenever i can. ijust pay a bit a month, but it always leaves me short for the month. i try to be positive, but it's too much. jackie's parents have been helping her out and have both gone back to work in their seventies to help her pay the bills. it's what i have to do. there is no choice. the savings i had when i retired are evaporating. jackie hasn't got enough money to manage all the expenditure that she needs. and sabrina has advice for anyone else in the same boat.

it's just you're on the cusp of struggling, but you feel like you will struggle in the future, especially with more rate rises predicted. the key thing is don't bury your head. go and seek that support. colletta smith, bbc news in st helens. we are going to have much more on that. hannah is on a building site looking at some of the reaction if the cost of borrowing rises once again or the bank of england decides to hang fire for the time being. lots of reaction to the changes in green policies for the government. we had the press conference yesterday from the prime minister yesterday from the prime minister yesterday afternoon. rishi sunak has defended changes he's made to a number of climate policy pledges, which includes delaying a ban on the sale of new petrol and diesel vehicles. our chief political correspondent, henry zeffman, joins us now. morning to you. that press conference, i think, morning to you. that press conference, ithink, was morning to you. that press conference, i think, was almost brought forward. he was forced to

make very clear all the rumours that had been going around. is he watering down the net zero climate promises? the watering down the net zero climate romises? , , , .., . watering down the net zero climate romises? , ,, .., . .,, promises? the press conference was brou:ht promises? the press conference was brought forward. _ promises? the press conference was brought forward, thanks _ promises? the press conference was brought forward, thanks to _ promises? the press conference was brought forward, thanks to a - promises? the press conference was brought forward, thanks to a leak . promises? the press conference wasi brought forward, thanks to a leak we had at the bbc have almost everything he said in a press conference. what rishi sunak was very keen to get across yesterday, the overarching legal commitment to hit net zero by 2050 stays but various targets on the way to getting their go. he kept talking about long—term yesterday. there is absolutely a lot to long term questions thrown up by his announcement yesterday about the future of the planet, basically, the rate at which temperature is made full, written�*s transition to a greener economy. watching the press conference, i was also struck by something a lot more short—term. i watched it and thought, this is a

prime minister, behind in the polls, gambling on a way to find a clear dividing line with the labour party. the labour party reciprocated, they said they would reinstate the 2030 target for the end of the sale of petrol and diesel cars which come at rishi sunak yesterday, pushed to 2035. watching a press conference yesterday threw my westminster lens but when i spent most of my time, i thought, was that the first thing for the general election campaign? a metropolitan police officer is due in court later, charged with the murder of chris kaba. the 24—year—old was fatally shot through the window of the car he was driving in south london, last september. the officer has not been named. greg mackenzie joins us from westminster magistrates court. good morning to you. what should we expect today?

family of chris kaba say they welcome the charging decision. meanwhile, the metropolitan police haveissued meanwhile, the metropolitan police have issued a statement and say this charging decision is a serious and significant development in the case. the officer remains suspended and it is unnamed for unspecified legal reasons. he will be here at court later this morning.— reasons. he will be here at court later this morning. thank you very much for that. _ the nhs in england is facing a second day of strike action byjunior doctors. they�*ve walked out as part of their ongoing pay dispute. consultants, who�*ve been on strike for the past two days, are returning to work. junior doctors and consultants are planning more coordinated strike action at the start of next month. the number of 18—year olds getting into university fell this year for the first time in five years. figures from the universities and colleges admission service also showed a record number of school leavers secured a place at university or college through the clearing system. covid lockdowns have caused a "seismic shift" in the way parents view school attendance,

according to a report by the policy consultancy "public first." it says a significant number of parents are taking children on holiday during term time, with those breaks now being seen as socially acceptable. the cost—of—living crisis is also thought to be a factor behind low attendance. king charles will address both houses of the french parliament later on the second day of his state visit to france. he�*ll become the first british monarch to do so from the senate chamber. last night, at a banquet at the palace of versailles, the king spoke about strengthening the friendship between france and the uk. from paris, our royal correspondent, daniela relph reports. the glitz and the glamour of the state banquet at versailles. the actor hugh grant made the guest list, as did rolling stone mickjagger. last to arrive, the king and queen, welcomed by president macron and his wife, brigitte. inside versaille�*s hall of mirrors,

speaking mostly in french, the king thanked his hosts and stressed the need to work together to protect the environment. he speaks in french. solutions to climate change are on the agenda today, as is a visit to notre dame. devastated by fire four years ago, the king and queen will see the restoration of the cathedral. the king will also walk in the footsteps of his mother when, as she did almost ten years ago, he visits a flower market in paris, now named after the late queen. the first day of the state visit began with a ceremonial welcome at the arc de triomphe... # allons enfants de la patrie...# ..and a focus on the shared bonds and friendship between the uk and france. including a king and a president, taking in the view down the champs—elysees. so much of this trip will be about the common ground

the two countries share. even the flypast was a joint enterprise between the red arrows and the french air force, for a visit that will focus on reinvigorating the relationship between the uk and france. daniela relph, bbc news, paris. the changing climate is affecting the numbers, distribution and behaviours of migratory birds, including cuckoos and chiffchaffs, according to a new report. experts at the "british trust for ornithology" say twitchers may see very different patterns among species in the future. our science correspondent helen briggs reports. a key breeding ground for birds close to the river severn at slimbridge. and these highly—trained experts have a licence to capture and ring the new arrivals, handling them with utmost care. this is a chiffchaff. this is one of our main species. weigh about six, seven grams.

they�*re migrants, so they�*ll be going off to north africa quite soon. it�*s incredible to think that tiny bird will now have to fly thousands of miles. well, that�*s right, yes. and will it get much bigger before its flight? no, that�*s effectively fully grown. it might put on more fat. lots of birds try and put on fat for energy reserves as they migrate. but essentially that�*s how big it will ever get. maurice has been ringing birds for 30 years and has seen a lot of chiffchaffs in that time. they�*re about stable around here, not like their cousins, the willow warbler, lesser white throat. we hardly catch at all now. whereas we could rely on seeing them every year. so it�*s 3jt. the ring is fitted. around the leg. we do a gentle squeeze to start with. details of the bird�*s age, condition and location are recorded, so if it�*s seen again, we know where it�*s come from.

all this data, recorded over decades, shows how different bird populations are coping with multiple pressures from habitat loss to climate change. this is a graph of cuckoo numbers in england. we can see a very clear, steady decline. i think climate change is one of the biggest pressures that all species are facing, but particularly migratory species, because they have to worry about the climate conditions, not only where they�*re breeding, but also where they�*re wintering and the areas that they�*re travelling through to get here, which can be thousands of kilometres. with almost half of all uk bird species in decline, some look set to vanish from our shores. there will be winners as a result of climate change...and losers. so future generations might not hear a nightingale or see a cuckoo, but there will be other things they see. a bee eater might become a common species, for example. and by collecting all this ringing data, we can monitor what�*s going on and mitigate for the human—led climate change that is the major driver behind most of these changes.

so as the uplifting sight of wild birds on the wing becomes rarer, the wealth of data gathered by bird ringers has never been more important in conservation. helen briggs, bbc news, gloucestershire. breakfast may be the most important meal of the day, notjust this programme, of course, but whose job is it to clean the dishes afterwards? i feel really bad. i ifeel really bad. i do not i feel really bad. i do not have breakfast that often because i am here! well, new figures suggest that although a majority of people agree household chores should be shared — it�*s women who generally do them. more than three—quarters

of respondents to the british social attitudes survey said domestic labour should be split — but 63% of women said they did more than theirfair share of the housework. i think it is always such a contentious subject, regardless of your six, when you are living with someone else. it is also, i will get into trouble with this. if men do any housework when they want a lot of praise for doing it. ok. i put the bins out, did a load of washing and then expect a load of praise for doing it. matt always expects praise, especially when the weather is good. when it is not, he scuttles away. do you do more or less of the jobs? away. do you do more or less of the 'obs? ., , , away. do you do more or less of the “obs? ., , , :: :: away. do you do more or less of the jobs?_ you - away. do you do more or less of the jobs?_ you are - away. do you do more or less of the jobs?_ you are so . jobs? probably 50-50. you are so erfect! jobs? probably 50-50. you are so perfect! let's _ jobs? probably 50-50. you are so perfect! let's see _ jobs? probably 50-50. you are so perfect! let's see if _ jobs? probably 50-50. you are so perfect! let's see if the _ jobs? probably 50-50. you are so perfect! let's see if the weather l perfect! let�*s see if the weather takes the perfect tinge of you. 50-50 takes the perfect tinge of you. 50—50 weather—wise. sunshine and showers. horrendous day yesterday. rain in the midlands and southern

he�*s a proud man. amazing cook, always smiling, very routine, you know? loves the laughter, life and soul of the party. this is taiwo bokinni�*s favourite piece of music. upbeat music plays. he was, like, everyone�*s uncle. everyone called him uncle t. a happy, pleasant, polite man, who loved community. but as his son�*s acting career goes from strength to strength with international stardom, thanks to the tv series ted lasso. vascular dementia is transforming taiwo. it�*s horrible. you watch someone that, like, you idolise and you watch them, like, just literally deteriorate in front of your eyes and it�*s, like, nothing you can do. so when he was diagnosed with vascular dementia, did you get any support then? did you know what was ahead of you?

no. just said the only thing we can do is make him comfortable while the disease progresses. imean, he�*s... ..completely different from what he was like before. he�*s like a different person. he doesn�*t remember any of us. if you lose your memories, like you lose the ability to walk, you know, to make yourself food. to have daily, normal, functioning behaviour. it�*s all memory. it�*s all inside, you know, subconscious memory. and if you lose that, then you lose almost everything about yourself. your career is going amazingly well. you�*re in ted lasso, this global hit, and you�*re coming home to this very challenging situation.

how difficult is it to kind of carry on those two lives at the same time? it�*s unbelievably difficult. he went missing for, like, almost 12 hours. they found him opposite side of london. just pyjamas and no shoes. wherever i�*m going, and everyone�*s like, "oh, my god, your life is going so well." and back of my mind, i�*m thinking, "little do you know." vascular dementia is caused by reduced blood flow to the brain. it�*s the second most common type of dementia. the most common cause of dementia is alzheimer�*s disease. and the prince and princess could be togetherforever, happily ever after. to raise awareness about dementia and as part of its campaign to find a cure, the charity alzheimer�*s research uk has made this film. the prince had been struck by an invisible force, far more powerful than the dragon. voiced by olivia colman. bit by bit, it robbed him

of his charm and wit, constantly playing cruel tricks, trapping him inside a world he could no longer comprehend. turning her beloved prince charming into a stranger she no longer recognised. she would spend the rest of their years desperately trying to rescue him. what do you make of the film? it�*s, um... it�*s very truthful. what do you hope people will take away from that? help make them understand more about what it does and what needs to be done. more research into developing and finding drugs and cures. as just once your partner or yourfamily member gets it, you are involved. you are completely in it and your life has changed.

yeah. very sad. and we�*ll bejoined by kola bokinni here in the studio at 10 past 8. especially with the film, it encapsulates what so many people fear, the loss of someone they know so well and seeing them retreat and how they deal with it. we will be speaking to him and his dad later. the focus quite rightly is on the people living with dementia. so many other people are affected by as well, close family and friends. he will be with us a little later in the programme. let�*s take a look at today�*s papers. the prime minister�*s speech — in which he outlined changes to the government�*s climate policy yesterday — dominates the papers. alongside a green—coloured mr sunak,

the i calls the changes, an election challenge to labour. the times headlines the story with "sunak�*s green targets gamble" and quotes the prime minister saying he would not impose "unacceptable costs" on households. meanwhile, the mirror, leads on a legal battle by veterans of britain�*s nuclear test programme. campaigners say those involved in the tests in the �*50s and �*60s have suffered health consequences because of the radiation they were exposed to. we�*ll have more on that in a few minutes. but first, take a look at this... you have heard of wellie throwing? a world record attempt at the most people throwing wellies into the air at the same time. it took place at ireland�*s national ploughing championships yesterday. the current record is 792 wellies.

either way, this one is expected to be around 900 plus. it will take awhile to count them because they all had to be in the air at same time. officials will confirm if the attempt to break it has been successful in a few weeks. brilliant picture! i promised we would take another look at this story. thousands of veterans who took part in the uk�*s nuclear tests in the 1950s and 1960s are relaunching a legal battle for compensation. it comes a decade after campaigners were blocked from suing the government but they say newly—discovered documents suggest military officers may have suspected personnel were being harmed. our home and legal affairs correspondent dominic casciani reports. it looked absolutely amazing. you know, having never seen anything like this in your life, and it was just rising. all different colours in, like, the top of the mushroom. it was wondrous, you know?

it just looked amazing. eric barton is a witness to the history of the nuclear age. yeah, that�*s one of the bombs. wow, just look at the size of it! that�*s another one. in 1962, the young royal engineer was sent to christmas island in the pacific, where he witnessed six nuclear bomb tests over a fortnight. it was all a huge adventure for an ordinary lad from sheffield, barely out of his teens. but now, years later, he feels like he and others were conned by the british and american military. absolutely terrible. you know, guinea pigs. that�*s all they were. you know. you go and stand there because we�*ve got to see what happens, you know, when it goes off. all these men were young, fit and healthy.

explosion. during the �*50s and �*60s, 22,000 british personnel witnessed nuclear bomb tests in the pacific and australia. veterans had long suspected they suffered radiation damage that caused serious and often terminal illnesses. eric barton beat cancer, but four of his close friends from the operation succumbed. the medical link is inconclusive and an attempt to sue the ministry of defence failed in 2012, but newly—found records suggest there are potentially thousands of documents in secret nuclear archives detailing how the bomb tests affected the blood and urine of the personnel. the men are now hoping to go back to court to demand further disclosure. the british government turn round to you and say, "you prove it." you know. and how can you prove it? you can�*t. we are finding documents that are proving that the government has been lying. well, maybe not the government, the mod have been lying to us for years

and years and years. and they�*re covering everything and have been doing for years and years and years. —— and they�*re covering everything up and have been doing for years and years and years. the ministry of defence says the government is grateful to all personnel, who helped to build the uk�*s nuclear deterrent, but it insists no information is withheld from veterans. any medical records taken before, during or after participation in the nuclear tests can be accessed on request. the son of this man disputes that. flight lieutenant david purse witnessed tests in australia. years later, his son steve was born with complex conditions. he wants to know if the military played genetic roulette with his late father, passing damage down the generations. i know for a fact and we�*ve got documentary evidence that the blood and urine samples were taken from my father when he served at maralinga in south australia. now, we know he was exposed to radiation and i have obvious disabilities. so what i want to know is, what was he exposed to?

because my condition is actually undiagnosed. this new legal battle could take years, but eric barton has a message for his former comrades. don't give up now. you know, a fight is a fight. keep going. yes. dominic casciani, bbc news. we are going to talk some are a bit later on the in programme. also to come later: as this year�*s strictly stars look forward to performing their first dances this weekend, we�*ll be talking fake tan, tangoes and training with the actor adam thomas, and his dance partner luba mushtuk. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. hello. good morning from bbc london, i�*m victoria hollins. thousands of london underground station staff

are to strike next month in a long—running dispute. rmt members will walk out on 4 and 6 october, which the union said would shut down the capital�*s tube service. it�*s worried about higher workloads and more lone working. transport for london says it�*s "disappointed" at the decision and added no employee will lose theirjob or be asked to work additional hours. tower hamlets council has agreed to remove the majority of its low traffic neighbourhoods — or ltns — despite some reidents wanting them to stay. campaigners outside a council meeting last night opposed the decision — but the council said it will invest £6m in travel and environmental "improvements". the borough will retain all 33 school streets — those with timed closures around drop—offs and pick—ups. the types of chemicals polluting the river thames changed over the pandemic, according to new research. the study led by scientists at imperial college london found a significant decrease in traces of some types

of pollutants, including pharmaceuticals, coinciding with national lockdowns. but when restrictions were lifted, there were greater concentrations of antibiotics, anti—anxiety and anti—depressant medications. london artist nick hornby has been unveling three commissions for permanent public art in westminster and kensington, where he grew up. the sculptures reflect issues around gender, strength, and power. he uses a range of materials and experiments with digital technologes. we�*re in a climate where public monuments and public sculpture have become complicated. and this is my contribution to that conversation. i�*m trying to ask questions about what type of icon, what type of memorials we want to have in our urban landscape. let�*s take a look at the tubes now. the district line is part suspended turnham green to richmond. london overground has severe delays euston to watford junction and there are severe delays

on the metropolitan line. there are minor delays on the picadilly line. now onto the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. last night�*s heavy rain has cleared, but we are left with a legacy of cloud first thing. that, however, will clear away too, leading to some sunny spells. but we�*ve still got some showers around today. now, once that cloud clears, it is largely dry and sunny through this morning. more cloud into the afternoon. scattered showers moving in from the southwest. not as windy as yesterday, but still a noticeable southwesterly. and temperatures today, 18 or 19 celsius. now overnight tonight, still some heavy showers through the evening. they will gradually start to slide away south and eastwards into tomorrow morning. cool single figures, eight celsius, the minimum. now for tomorrow, the wind starts to veer from the northwest. now those showers overnight will clear. we�*ll get some sunny spells, but then showers feeding in on that breeze. so feeling cooler tomorrow. the wind coming from a colder place. temperatures getting up to around 18 celsius. now, as we head into the weekend, at the moment, it is looking largely dry. we�*ve got a brief ridge of high pressure in place and temperatures

this was a strange game, from the moment andre onana let the lead slip beneath him. it�*s a terrible mistake by onana. now he�*s a player united did sign in the summer. at half time it was 2—0, and bayern�*s dominance seemed that emphatic. leading united�*s optimism was 20—year—old rasmus hojland. the game was close and immediately distant. that�*s a handball and a penalty — on this occasion. think kane would miss the opportunity? kane scores. clinical. well, he�*s joined a winning team and bayern led throughout. but it was 3—2 for about four minutes. promising in there for casimero and they�*ve managed to squeeze another one in! and then bayern scored their fourth in added time and united made it 4—3 before the final whistle. seven goals and a defeat and through it all, have united defined their direction? not sure. arsenal, back in the champions league, were unstoppable against psv eindhoven. saka sharp for the first goal.

which the union said would shut down the capital�*s tube service. it�*s worried about higher workloads and more lone working. transport for london says it�*s "disappointed" at the decision and added no employee will lose theirjob or be asked to work additional hours. tower hamlets council has agreed to remove the majority of its low traffic neighbourhoods — or ltns — despite some reidents wanting them to stay. campaigners outside a council meeting last night opposed the decision but the council said it will invest £6m in travel and environmental "improvements." the borough will retain all 33 school streets, those with timed closures around drop offs and pick ups. london artist nick hornby has been unveling three commissions for permanent public art — in westminster and kensington — where he grew up. the sculptures reflect issues around gender, strength, and power. he uses a range of materials and expriments with digital technologes.

we�*re in a climate where public monuments and public sculpture have become complicated. and this is my contribution to that conversation. i�*m trying to ask questions about what type of icon, what type of memorials we want to have in our urban landscape. let�*s take a look at the tubes now. the district line is part suspended turnham green to richmond. london overground has severe delays euston to watford junction ant there are minor delays on the picadilly line. now onto the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. last night�*s heavy rain has cleared, but we are left with a legacy of cloud first thing. that, however, will clear away too, leading to some sunny spells. but we�*ve still got some

showers around today. now, once that cloud clears, it is largely dry and sunny through this morning. more cloud into the afternoon. scattered showers moving in from the southwest. not as windy as yesterday, but still a noticeable southwesterly. and temperatures today, 18 or 19 celsius. now overnight tonight, still some heavy showers through the evening. they will gradually start to slide away south and eastwards into tomorrow morning. cool single figures, eight celsius, the minimum. now for tomorrow, the wind starts to veer from the northwest. now those showers overnight will clear. we�*ll get some sunny spells, but then showers feeding in on that breeze. so feeling cooler tomorrow. the wind coming from a colder place. temperatures getting up to around 18 celsius. now, as we head into the weekend, at the moment, it is looking largely dry. we�*ve got a brief ridge of high pressure in place and temperatures getting a little warmer into next week. that�*s it — head to our website to find out more about all the day�*s stories. there�*s also the bbc news app too. we�*re back in half an hour. see you then.

good morning. welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and ben thompson. our headlines today... will the bank of england raise interest rates once more, or pause after 14 consecutive rises? good morning from a new build housing development in grimsby when

they are very much hoping the bank of england does not put up interest rates for what would be the 15th time in a row. the prime minister defends his decision to change green policy plans, saying he wants to ease the financial burden on households. in sport... it was bonkers at bayern, as harry kane�*s munich, put four past manchester united in the champions league on a night when arsenal also scored four. and we�*re joined by strictly star adam thomas and his partner, luba, ahead of saturday night�*s first dance. you will be glad to hear a bit brighter today if you were cool in the torrential downpours yesterday. the full details here on breakfast. it�*s thursday the 21st of september. the bank of england could raise

interest rates for the 15th time in a row today — taking the official rate to 5.5%, which would be its highest level in more than 15 years. however, after yesterday�*s small drop in inflation, some economists suggest that interest rates may have peaked. our cost of living correspondent, colletta smith, reports. so the advisers will be speaking to customers, talking them through a benefits assessment. we can see there... if interest rates go up again today, here at this free debt advice centre, sabrina says things will get even busier. with an additional rate rise, we are absolutely going to see more homeowners struggling to keep up with the pace of those mortgage increases. the bank of england has voted to raise rates 14 times in a row, going from 0.25% to 5.25%. they�*re hoping that higher interest rates make people spend less, and so shop prices start to fall. the better inflation numbers than anticipated yesterday mean that the bank of england has now a greater chance of keeping rates steady. it means that the bank of england�*s plan is working. inflation is falling in line with the expectations of the bank of england. and that�*s a good sign. rising food, petrol, energy costs,

rent, mortgage costs are things that everybody ultimately has to pay. so, therefore, it isn't a case of over commitment. oftentimes, it isjust that expenditures are increasing beyond what they can afford to pay. that�*s what�*s happened to jackie. i owe several thousand in my mortgage payments. i owe approximately 300 quid in my energy bills. i owe for council taxes. i owe on my mobile. she�*s a former ba air hostess, but an autoimmune disease left her bedridden and unable to work. after a relationship breakup and two girls to look after, she�*s not able to afford the household bills. when you�*re counting how many pennies you have in your purse...

when you�*re thinking, ok, my daughter�*s left £1 in pocket money... sorry. has left £1 in pocket money in her room. yeah, i could use that to buy a pot noodle. at the moment, your goal isjust to try and keep making some payments to sort of all of your debts. at the moment, ijust do a goodwill gesture whenever i can. ijust pay a bit a month, but it always leaves me short for the month. i try to be positive, but it�*s too much. jackie�*s parents have been helping her out and have both gone back to work in their seventies to help her pay the bills. it's what i have to do.

there is no choice. the savings i had when i retired are evaporating. jackie hasn't got enough money to manage all the expenditure that she needs. and sabrina has advice for anyone else in the same boat. it�*s just you�*re on the cusp of struggling, but you feel like you will struggle in the future, especially with more rate rises predicted. the key thing is don�*t bury your head. go and seek that support. colletta smith, bbc news in st helens. more of that later. our other stories include that change in green pleasured by the government. —— pledges by the government. rishi sunak has defended changes he�*s made to a number of climate policy pledges,

which includes delaying a ban on the sale of new petrol and diesel vehicles. our chief political correspondent, henry zeffman, joins us now. you knew this was coming, then each came yesterday. the prime minister almost bound into the press conference. criticism continues. lots of questions as a result of the press conference yesterday. the question of whether this slows down the uk�*s ability to hit net zero by 2050. the question of whether this will be cheaper for uk households are more expensive in the long run. as you can imagine, the conservatives and the labour party disagree on that, they disagree on rather a lot. what the short term implications of yesterday are, we have a very clear dividing line now. the conservative party wants to ease off on some of these measures whether they say they are still committed to net zero by 2050. the labour party says it wants to reinstate in particular the ban by

2030 the sale of new petrol and diesel cars. the amount for a second. what is the consequence? what we saw yesterday was the starting gun fired on the general election campaign we are expecting to take place next year. rishi sunak the prime minister trying to draw a clear dividing line with the labour party, the labour party responding in turn. this is the first of many issues where you will see both parties trying to say, here are our differences and here is why you should vote for us.— differences and here is why you should vote for us. thanks for that. just to note — should vote for us. thanks for that. just to note that _ should vote for us. thanks for that. just to note that we _ should vote for us. thanks for that. just to note that we are _ should vote for us. thanks for that. just to note that we are going i should vote for us. thanks for that. just to note that we are going to i should vote for us. thanks for that. just to note that we are going to be talking to the business and trade secretary at half past seven and putting some of those issues to her. the nhs in england is facing a second day of strike action byjunior doctors. they�*ve walked out as part of their ongoing pay dispute. consultants, who�*ve been on strike for the past two days,

are returning to work. junior doctors and consultants are planning more coordinated strike action at the start of next month. the number of 18—year olds getting into university fell this year for the first time in five years. figures from the universities and colleges admission service also showed a record number of school leavers secured a place at university or college through the clearing system. covid lockdowns have caused a "seismic shift" in the way parents view school attendance, according to a report by the policy consultancy "public first." it says a significant number of parents are taking children on holiday during term time, with those breaks now being seen as socially acceptable. the cost—of—living crisis is also thought to be a factor behind low attendance. a metropolitan police officer is due in court later charged with the murder of chris kaba. the 24—year—old was fatally shot through the window of the car he was driving in south london, last september. the officer has not been named. greg mackenzie joins us from westminster magistrates court.

said they welcome the charging decision. the metropolitan police assistant commissioner issued a statement yesterday and she said it was a serious and significant development in the case. the officer who will appear here at westminster magistrates�* court later has not been named for unspecified legal reasons and remains suspended from the metropolitan police service. thank you very much for that. king charles will address both houses of the french parliament later — on the second day of his state visit to france. he�*ll become the first british monarch to do so from the senate chamber. last night, at a banquet at the palace of versailles, the king spoke about strengthening the friendship between france and the uk. here�*s matt with a look at this morning�*s weather. very moody skies behind you. not even moody, just plain rain

in a british town and antisocial behaviour and vandalism in uk schools? the answer is they are all examples of tik tok frenzies identified by the bbc. when you post a video on tiktok, it can be pushed to users everywhere on the for you page at a speed and scale that doesn�*t seem possible on other social media platforms, creating a frenzy of posts. former employees and creators have told me how this design means people are seeing videos they normally would not see and being incentivised to behave in a harmful way to produce more popular content. the search for mum of two, nicola bulley continues eight days after she went missing. nicola bulley�*s disappearance earlier this year shocked the uk. an inquest ruled the 45—year—old died by accidental drowning, but conspiracy theories exploded on tiktok, with police saying it interfered with the investigation. hello. hi. lovely to meet you. heather ran one account, racking up millions of views, posting about the case, having never shared content like this on tiktok before. in one video, she falsely suggested

footage of nicola leaving the house on the morning of her disappearance was really herfriend, emma. it received 3.6 million views. whenever you post something and it gains traction, tiktok will send you little e—mails of encouragement, telling you that you�*ve received this many views, you�*re a hit. if you post something and you receive a lot of positivity from it, i think that can definitely change your behaviour, whereas before you might not have had that level of empowerment or entitlement. heather seemed to really regret becoming caught up in this frenzy and she told me that without tiktok, she just doesn�*t think she would have participated in this way. when you are seeing video after video after video of the same content on the same topic, it�*s very easy tojust think, "well, i canjoin in on that. and i�*m just another person." i�*ve had to remind myself, these are other people�*s lives. and it�*s notjust a video that�*s going to go nowhere. it�*s potentially going to blow up in your face and then you are accountable. lucas, not his real name, is one

of several tiktok ex—employees i spoke to for answers about these frenzies. they grew so fast that they couldn't possibly keep up with or predicted every single way the app was going to go. and, in general, they don't want to — they don't want to stand in the way of entertainment growing quickly on their platform. it's about money. the more users they have on the platform, spending more time watching videos, they can sell more ads, sell them for a higher price. it's probably the most addictive platform that we've encountered yet, and i think that's a real danger, especially because of how young the audience is and how impressionable they are. tiktok told the bbc... speaking to ex—employees and users, it seems that these frenzies are difficult to keep up with,

and it�*s hard to know when and where the next one will happen. marianna spring, bbc news. marianna joins us now. morning. morning. how do we know this is the algorithm? _ morning. morning. how do we know this is the algorithm? the _ morning. morning. how do we know this is the algorithm? the software | this is the algorithm? the software promoting a sort of video rather than things going viral. the important _ than things going viral. the important thing _ than things going viral. tie: important thing to understand than things going viral. ti9 important thing to understand is than things going viral. ti9: important thing to understand is a bit about the way tiktok works. what i understand from people who used to it that people who use it and looking at the data, on tiktok, because of the way your feed works but you can come across content not from your friends and followers, it is being recommended to you from anyone on tiktok because the algorithm has decided to do that. you can consume huge amounts of content very quickly. it is a

combination of those two things that seems to be driving these frenzies, the idea there is disproportionate engagement around specific topics which is far higher than on other social media sites. users i have spoken to have said to me, because i felt like i could get involved at macro that is another point, participation. tiktok is built on the idea, you want to get involved make you want to post your own take on something. you can post a video very quickly and easily and it can go to millions of people. not only can you get involved, that involvement is validated and in some ways it can change how you perceive what is socially acceptable. we take our cues from people around us. if millions of people are watching a tiktok video showing amateur sleuth turning up at a scene or may be riots, protests are more violent behaviour happening during those great it can change... certainly from speaking to the users i have

interviewed, maybe it is ok. maybe i can get involved and i can get lots of use and validation in that way as well. he of use and validation in that way as well. :, , of use and validation in that way as well. :,, , ,:, ,, :, ,, :, ,, of use and validation in that way as well. :,, , :, ,, :, well. he has spoken to tiktok and --eole well. he has spoken to tiktok and people who _ well. he has spoken to tiktok and people who work _ well. he has spoken to tiktok and people who work there, _ well. he has spoken to tiktok and people who work there, when i well. he has spoken to tiktok and people who work there, when it i well. he has spoken to tiktok and - people who work there, when it comes to stuff that is not verified, amateur sleuth and conspiracy theories, etc, what authority does tiktok have to make sure it doesn't spread? tiktok have to make sure it doesn't sread? ,,, ., ~ ., tiktok have to make sure it doesn't sread? .«r ., , tiktok have to make sure it doesn't sread? ,,, ., ~ ., , .,, ., tiktok have to make sure it doesn't sread? ., , ., ., ~' spread? speaking to people who work at tiktok, spread? speaking to people who work at tiktok. one — spread? speaking to people who work at tiktok, one thing _ spread? speaking to people who work at tiktok, one thing they _ spread? speaking to people who work at tiktok, one thing they point - spread? speaking to people who work at tiktok, one thing they point out, . at tiktok, one thing they point out, they feel that tiktok isn't and for various reasons is not getting on top of these kinds of frenzies because when this speculation starts like we saw it around the disappearance of nicola ten —— bulley, i will say the murder in idaho. it was all over tiktok. what is difficult, when you do not know,

you do not know what happened. no one had been charged for the murder. people are endlessly speculating about what is happening. it says it will not recommend unverified content. in these cases, this speculation was unverified and seem to be reaching millions of people. you can see how it escalates and escalates and it becomes more extreme. , , , .«r extreme. this is where they make mone , extreme. this is where they make money. isn't _ extreme. this is where they make money. isn't it? — extreme. this is where they make money, isn't it? tiktok— extreme. this is where they make money, isn't it? tiktok is- extreme. this is where they make money, isn't it? tiktok is a - money, isn't it? tiktok is a business and wants people to spend time on the platform. the more people using and watching is how it does business. that people using and watching is how it does business.— does business. that is what former em - lo ees does business. that is what former employees i _ does business. that is what former employees i have _ does business. that is what former employees i have spoken - does business. that is what former employees i have spoken to - does business. that is what former employees i have spoken to had i does business. that is what former i employees i have spoken to had said. in their view, tiktok does not want to stop entertainment growing on the platform, it does not want to stop that happening. they're more of us using tiktok, the more they can sell adverts full and the profits they

can make, tiktok tells us not only is prioritising safety the right thing to do but it makes business sense. i think what is important in all these cases is thinking about the kinds of users it is affecting. many of us could be caught up in these frenzies. notjust many of us could be caught up in these frenzies. not just that when it comes to school protests and other frenzies i investigate it comes to school protests and otherfrenzies i investigate for this documentary, these are younger users, often, and users who are quite acceptable. i users, often, and users who are quite acceptable.— users, often, and users who are quite acceptable. i am hearing the word frenzy _ quite acceptable. i am hearing the word frenzy in _ quite acceptable. i am hearing the word frenzy in a _ quite acceptable. i am hearing the word frenzy in a new _ quite acceptable. i am hearing the word frenzy in a new light - quite acceptable. i am hearing the word frenzy in a new light now. . quite acceptable. i am hearing the l word frenzy in a new light now. you know when there were a teens in oxford street caleta people got together and they were looting shops. —— the looting in oxford street. that had been organised, in the loosest sense, on tiktok. really

up we are talking about people turning up at crime scenes and interrupting investigations. we are talking about false accusations of murder and harmful claims. for people living through these tragedies committed really difficult. we are talking about schools and vandalism are difficult things happening. teachers i have spoken to are really concerned about theirs. another thing which is quite shocking is, i set up an undercover account. it was reporting to be a is—year—old. i wanted to see in light of the protests happening about uniform, what was needed to be recommended on tiktok. almost immediately i was recommended content from an anti—school influence are talking about these issues, defending content saying, they do not encourage people to behave this way. i have copied what you said, i am suspended, i'm getting into trouble. it is a really big problem. not easy

to get on top of the to know who or what will be affected next. it is fascinating- — you can watch the full investigation, the tiktok effect, on bbc three at 9pm tonight, or on iplayer now. as the war in ukraine grinds on, the number of amputees is soaring. in the first six months of this year more than 15,000 ukrainians have had limbs amputated, according to official figures from the country's department of health. our senior international correspondent orla guerin has been in kyiv, to hearjust how much one man has sacrificed for his country. it's a new battle and a tough one. every day, andrey smolenski tries to regain his strength and improve his balance. tries to reclaim some

of what the war took away. he's still a fighter. in uniform, his callsign was apostle, due to his strong faith. andrey led a reconnaissance team until an explosion in late may. i remember how i started climbing a little bit out of the trench, and the next memory is just waking up in the hospital. it felt like i just was dreaming. everything was so dark. i thought, "oh, what a dark night. and what a weird dream." andrey lost both eyes, both hands and most of his hearing by his side. through it all, alina. my wife is incredible. she's my hero. 100%.

she, with me, she supported me a lot. ifelt like i have my family and my family's strong in hard times. and these were the good times. in the carpathian mountains. the couple married four years ago this month and are bound together now more than ever. the last three months, i started to even love him more because he gave me so much motivation to so much inspiration. he's still my motivation for everything. he's not the kind of person that would be just sitting on his bed.

no, he will try to change the world. andrey and alina want to help the many amputees who may follow. their ranks are soaring. the couple want to show there is life after life—changing injuries. i know before the war, andrey, you loved singing. do you miss that? yes, that's for sure. it's just part of my soul, part of my childhood, you know. so now when i lost my hands and i cannot play my guitar any more, it felt kind of sad. but i had my voice. and he's hoping his voice will get stronger, so he can sing again, as he did before war came

to ukraine and changed his life beyond recognition. four months and 20 operations later, andrey says the hardest thing is not his injuries. but that he wasn't able to finish what he started and free his country. orla guerin, bbc news, kyiv. we talk a lot about soldiers fighting on the front line. living with air after they have fought. one thing we are talking about today is the bank of england interest rate decision which happens at midday. prices are still rising significantly but not as quickly. that was a surprise, a

little bit less quickly. the big question today, will they or won't they raise the cost of borrowing? this would be the 15th, the highest cost of borrowing in 15 years. hannah is looking at this for us, including people —— and it will affect people, especially those wanting to get on the housing ladder. , , ., , , wanting to get on the housing ladder. , , .,, , , ., wanting to get on the housing ladder. , , , , ., , ladder. this is hopefully seem to be somebody's — ladder. this is hopefully seem to be somebody's kitchen _ ladder. this is hopefully seem to be somebody's kitchen where - ladder. this is hopefully seem to be somebody's kitchen where we - ladder. this is hopefully seem to be somebody's kitchen where we are l somebody's kitchen where we are standing now. if we come through here, this will soon be a living room for someone who eventually buys this property. this is one of 12 bungalows here on the site in grimsby, where we are this morning. this one in particular demonstrates a lot of the challenges people building homes by trying to buy and sell them are currently facing. someone had decided they want this place in particular to be their new home. they have since had to cancel that because they cannot sell the

property that they currently own. that is because the rising interest rates we have seen over the past year or so has had a huge impact on people's ability to get mortgages, as you say. we will find out later today whether the bank of england chooses to put up interest rates again. first of all, let's get the news, travel and weather where you are. hello. good morning from bbc london. i'm victoria hollins. tower hamlets council has agreed to remove the majority of its low traffic neighbourhoods — or ltns — despite some reidents wanting them to stay. campaigners outside a council meeting last night opposed the decision, but the council said it will invest £6 million in travel and environmental "improvements". the borough will retain all 33 school streets — those with timed closures around drop offs and pick ups. thousands of london

underground station staff are to strike next month in a long—running dispute. rmt members will walk out on 4 and 6 october, which the union said would shut down the capital's tube service. it's worried about higher workloads and more [one working. transport for london says it's "disappointed" at the decision and added no employee will lose theirjob or be asked to work additional hours. the types of chemicals polluting the river thames changed over the pandemic — according to new research. the study led by scientists at imperial college london found a significant decrease in traces of some types of pollutants, including pharmaceuticals, coinciding with national lockdowns. but when restrictions were lifted, there were greater concentrations of antibiotics, anti—anxiety and anti—depressant medications. visitors to the royal parks in london have been warned to stay away from rutting deer this autumn. stags in bushy and richmond parks roar and clash antlers in a bid to attract females

to mate with, the royal parks charity said. the charity said people should stay at least 100 metres away if they appear active. let's take a look at the tubes now. the district line is part suspended turnham green to richmond. london overground has no service between south acton and richmond. severe delays euston to watford junction and the metropolitan line is part suspended between harrow on the hill and uxbridge. there are minor delays on the picadilly line. now onto the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. last night's heavy rain has cleared, but we are left with a legacy of cloud first thing. that, however, will clear away too, leading to some sunny spells. but we've still got some showers around today. now, once that cloud clears, it is largely dry and sunny through this morning. more cloud into the afternoon. scattered showers moving in from the southwest. not as windy as yesterday, but still a noticeable southwesterly. and temperatures today, 18 or 19 celsius.

now overnight tonight, still some heavy showers through the evening. they will gradually start to slide away south and eastwards into tomorrow morning. cool single figures, eight celsius, the minimum. now for tomorrow, the wind starts to veer from the northwest. now those showers overnight will clear. we'll get some sunny spells, but then showers feeding in on that breeze. so feeling cooler tomorrow. the wind coming from a colder place. temperatures getting up to around 18 celsius. now, as we head into the weekend, at the moment, it is looking largely dry. we've got a brief ridge of high pressure in place and temperatures getting a little warmer into next week. that's it. head to our website to find out more about all the day's stories. there's also the bbc news app too. we're back in half an hour. see you then. hello, this is breakfast with naga munchetty and ben thompson.

king charles will address both houses of the french parliament later — on the second day of his state visit to france. he'll become the first british monarch to do so from the senate chamber. last night, at a banquet at the palace of versailles, the king spoke about strengthening the friendship between france and the uk. from paris, our royal correspondent daniela relph reports. the glitz and glamour of the palace of the side. you grant made the guest list, as did mickjagger. the last to arrive, the king and queen, welcomed by emmanuel macron and his wife brigitte. inside, the hall of mirrors, the king thanks his house and stressed the need to work together to protect the environment.

solutions to the climate change on the way to a, as is a visit to notre dame, devastated by fire four years ago, the king and queen will see the restoration of the cathedral. the king also walk in the footsteps of his mother, and she did almost ten years ago, he visits a flower market in paris now named after the late queen. the first day of the state visit began with a ceremonial welcome at the arc de triomphe. and a focus on the shared bonds and friendship between the uk and france. including a king and a president taking in the view shops a lycee. so much will be about the common ground that the two countries share. even the fly past was a joint enterprise between the red arrows in the french air force. for a visit that will focus on reinvigorating the relationship between the uk and

france. let's look now at the changes to the government's green policies announced by the prime minister yesterday. rishi sunak insists that, to have pressed ahead without taking action would have imposed "unacceptable costs" on hard—pressed families. so what has the prime minister decided? one key policy change is delaying the ban on the sale of new petrol and diesel cars in the uk from 2030 to 2035. the ban on the sale of new gas boilers from 2035 remains, but the government will give more money to households to replace them, and introduce a new exemption for poorer households. and the ban on oil boilers for off—grid households will be delayed from 2026 to 2035. well, the prime minister has been defending his changes this morning — and insisting he still wants the uk to be net zero by 2050. but many believe this is about rishi sunak setting out his stall for the next election — and distancing himself from other parties.

let's hear what some of them have had to say. he has pretty much sold out the biggest economic opportunity of the 21st—century, and that is for britain to lead the world in transitioning to the good, newjobs, well—paid securejobs of transitioning to the good, newjobs, well—paid secure jobs of the green economy and in doing that he is undermining business confidence and is deterring inward investment. the conservatives are bankrupting the british people at the moment, that's the problem. the british people at the moment, that's the problem-— the problem. the liberal democrats showed in government _ the problem. the liberal democrats showed in government if _ the problem. the liberal democrats showed in government if you - the problem. the liberal democrats showed in government if you invest| showed in government if you invest in green _ showed in government if you invest in green technologies like offshore wind and _ in green technologies like offshore wind and renewables you can cut the price of— wind and renewables you can cut the price of energy and renewable power, which _ price of energy and renewable power, which we _ price of energy and renewable power, which we championed, is now the cheapest— which we championed, is now the cheapest form of electricity. | which we championed, is now the cheapest form of electricity. ifelt cheapest form of electricity. i felt a bit sick when _ cheapest form of electricity. i felt a bit sick when i _ cheapest form of electricity. i felt a bit sick when i heard _ cheapest form of electricity. i felt a bit sick when i heard the - cheapest form of electricity. i felt a bit sick when i heard the news. i think_ a bit sick when i heard the news. i think this — a bit sick when i heard the news. i think this is — a bit sick when i heard the news. i think this is a _ a bit sick when i heard the news. i think this is a desperate _ a bit sick when i heard the news. i think this is a desperate and - think this is a desperate and dangerous— think this is a desperate and dangerous ploy— think this is a desperate and dangerous ploy by _ think this is a desperate and dangerous ploy by the - think this is a desperate and | dangerous ploy by the prime think this is a desperate and - dangerous ploy by the prime minister which _ dangerous ploy by the prime minister which is _ dangerous ploy by the prime minister which is going — dangerous ploy by the prime minister which is going to _ dangerous ploy by the prime minister which is going to obviously _ dangerous ploy by the prime minister which is going to obviously harm - dangerous ploy by the prime minister which is going to obviously harm ourl which is going to obviously harm our abitity— which is going to obviously harm our ability as— which is going to obviously harm our ability as a _ which is going to obviously harm our ability as a country— which is going to obviously harm our ability as a country to _ which is going to obviously harm our ability as a country to reach - which is going to obviously harm our ability as a country to reach net - ability as a country to reach net zero, _ ability as a country to reach net

with the government putting £75 million in, we are supporting the industry. but we have to think about the rest of the supply chain and whether people can afford this and look at what is happening with energy cost because of the russian's war in ukraine. and what it cost to charge an electric vehicle a couple of years ago is not quite what the costis of years ago is not quite what the cost is now. we need to think about that. as a government, a democratically elected government, we have to think about how the policies work and make sure people can bear them. did policies work and make sure people can bearthem-_ can bear them. did you consult any ofthe can bear them. did you consult any of the manufacturing _ can bear them. did you consult any of the manufacturing industry - can bear them. did you consult any. of the manufacturing industry before making the announcement? i of the manufacturing industry before making the announcement?- of the manufacturing industry before making the announcement? i speak to the manufacturing _ making the announcement? i speak to the manufacturing industry— making the announcement? i speak to the manufacturing industry across - the manufacturing industry across all sectors very regularly. but about this _ all sectors very regularly. but about this specific change in policy. it! about this specific change in oli . �* ~' ., , about this specific change in oli _�* ~' ., , ., , policy. i'd like to finish answering the question- _ policy. i'd like to finish answering the question. yes, _ policy. i'd like to finish answering the question. yes, i _ policy. i'd like to finish answering the question. yes, i did, - policy. i'd like to finish answering the question. yes, i did, and - policy. i'd like to finish answering. the question. yes, i did, and many of them have said that they think it is the right thing to do. auto is most impacted because of what is a slight change from 2030 22035 and we still kept a mandate in place that

hopes that by 2030, 80% of vehicles will be electric, so the change on front is minimal but what we are not doing is taking away people's choice when they cannot afford it. this doing is taking away people's choice when they cannot afford it.— when they cannot afford it. this is about leadership _ when they cannot afford it. this is about leadership on _ when they cannot afford it. this is about leadership on climate - when they cannot afford it. this is| about leadership on climate issues and there was great fanfare made about cop 26 hosted in the uk and this was about positioning the uk as a leader in renewable energy and the race to net zero. we have given up that lead, haven't we? i race to net zero. we have given up that lead, haven't we?— race to net zero. we have given up that lead, haven't we? i think what we need to — that lead, haven't we? i think what we need to think _ that lead, haven't we? i think what we need to think about _ that lead, haven't we? i think what we need to think about is - that lead, haven't we? i think what we need to think about is energy . we need to think about is energy security and making sure we are not reliant on dangerous regimes like russia for fossil fuels and it's about cleaner air as well as leadership and when i announced the interview into bmw, we were talking about the reliance on china for electric vehicles in china, and we

need to think about the factors across the board, notjust about saying we are leaders and not delivering on it, and the point the prime minister was making was that these things have to be acceptable to the public otherwise they will not make the change. it's not about politicians looking like leaders when people will not follow. it is the right thing the prime minister has done and i support him on that. does the prime minister commit to reducing carbon emissions? i'm looking at rishi sunak five key pledges, and he's made a lot of them. none of them mention carbon emissions or green energy. keir starmer, the leader of the labour party, one of his missions or government is to make the uk a clean energy superpower. in the us, inflation reduction act is committing $500 billion to renewable green technology and the eu has its green technology and the eu has its green deal and are spending $270 billion on green and renewable energy amongst other things. the uk doesn't seem to be doing anything right now? doesn't seem to be doing anything

riaht now? ., ., , , ., ., doesn't seem to be doing anything riaht now? ., ., , i. ., ., right now? that means you are not -a in: right now? that means you are not paying attention- — right now? that means you are not paying attention. just _ right now? that means you are not paying attention. just last - right now? that means you are not paying attention. just last friday i l paying attention. just last friday i was in port talbot where we made a £500 million investment into the steel works there. that steelworks is the single biggest emitter of carbon in this country, and along with the company we are making an investment that adds up to almost £i.5 investment that adds up to almost £1.5 billion that will change the way steel is made in that part of the world, create newjobs, regenerate the entire area. that is something that will have a profound impact on our carbon emissions. i think you should look at what we are doing and notjust looking at what people around the place are announcing. if you don't mind i'd like to finish this point. labour criticised the deal be put in last friday and they are not serious and we need to look at the action the government is taking to have a good assessment of what the target to net zero is actually going to look like when we complete it. i think we had a lot of good news on that front. you say people will look at what you are doing and you are absolutely

right on the green party is like saying you have a target to put out fires and then deflating the tires on the fire engine to put them out. it's one thing having a target, but if we don't have the tools to reach it, what is the point of the target? my it, what is the point of the target? my response to them would be that the tools which they are pushing, which people can't afford are going to get to that target either. if people can't afford to do things than they are not going to be able to make those changes. the sort of policies the green party are pushing would mean that nobody would be driving and nobody would be heating their houses. yes, you can get to net zero that way but it would be a bonkers way to do it and we are not supporting that. we are going to do it in a way that is fair and proportionate and has the consent of the british people. iflatbed proportionate and has the consent of the british people.— the british people. what are those tools? you — the british people. what are those tools? you talk— the british people. what are those tools? you talk about _ the british people. what are those tools? you talk about giving - the british people. what are those tools? you talk about giving us - the british people. what are those | tools? you talk about giving us the tools? you talk about giving us the tools to reach the targets and you have changed the goalposts on some of them, what are the tools we should be focusing on? the of them, what are the tools we should be focusing on? the tools are still there. what _ should be focusing on? the tools are still there. what are _ should be focusing on? the tools are still there. what are they? _

the steelworks last week and you look at the a billion pounds giger factory investment going to somerset. that's a lot of money we are spending to tackle climate change. telling people that we don't think they should be bankrupted for heating their homes is not the end of the world. we need to be able to make sure people can afford what we are asking them to do. fiiq make sure people can afford what we are asking them to do.— are asking them to do. 0k, kemi badenoch. _ are asking them to do. 0k, kemi badenoch, thank _ are asking them to do. 0k, kemi badenoch, thank you _ are asking them to do. 0k, kemi badenoch, thank you for - are asking them to do. 0k, kemi badenoch, thank you for being i are asking them to do. 0k, kemi i badenoch, thank you for being with us this morning. nicky campbell's getting your reaction to the prime minister's announcement, on bbc 2, bbc news, 5 live and bbc sounds from 9 o'clock. has rishi sunak got it right on green policies? you can have your say. mike is taking a look at the sport, and are we feeling sorry for a certain type of sportsperson today? who would be a goalkeeper? the manchester united goalkeeper signed in the summer, he said himself it was down — in the summer, he said himself it was down to him, the defeat against bayern _ was down to him, the defeat against bayern munich and said he let his team—mates down and has apologised

and says— team—mates down and has apologised and says he's not had the best of starts _ and says he's not had the best of starts at — and says he's not had the best of starts at manchester united but was only one _ starts at manchester united but was only one moment. if you are a goalkeeper and you have a howler but you also _ goalkeeper and you have a howler but you also make some great saves, you are remote _ you also make some great saves, you are remote for the howler. if you are remote for the howler. if you are a _ are remote for the howler. if you are a striker— are remote for the howler. if you are a strikerand are remote for the howler. if you are a striker and you miss loads of chances. _ are a striker and you miss loads of chances. you — are a striker and you miss loads of chances, you are scoring a screamer, you are _ chances, you are scoring a screamer, you are remembered for the goal. it's you are remembered for the goal. it's a _ you are remembered for the goal. it's a difficult balance. i think we do feel— it's a difficult balance. i think we do feel sorry for him. it wasn't the only incident in the game. little moments can define games, and the howler set the tone for a crazy game, on manchester united's return to the champions league, which did not go to plan, as they lost 4—3 at bayern munich in their opening group game. this was the moment that undid united's positive start when andre onana somehow let a rather tame effort from leroy saney squirm under his body. "this the life of a goalkeeper", he said afterwards. "the defeat was down to me.". it wasn'tjust that by a long way and he did make some good saves, and after bayern then doubled their lead, rasmus hoyland scored his first united goal to make it 2-1. the defeat was also down to this. when is a handball a shoulder?

var judged that christian eriksen handled the ball in the box. harry kane — who else — scored from the spot. but twice united got back to within one goal of bayern, and on a luckier night, might have come away with at least a point. well after the match goalkeeper andre onana, got a verbal arm around the shoulder from his manager, who was his boss at ajax and is full of sympathy. football always make mistake and it was one mistake, so let's not make it bigger than it is —— a footballer will always make mistakes. it was not only andre who made the mistake and in the second half he made great saves for us, so he shows his capabilities and he will bounce back, and he is an important player. arsenal made an impressive return to the champions league, after a six year absence with the gunners thrashing dutch side psv a—o at the emirates. they went ahead through bukayo saka inside 8 minutes. further goals followed from leandro trossard, gabrieljesus, and martin odegaard as arsenal sent out a warning

to the rest of europe. it was a beautiful night after such a long time, and we needed to produce the right performance and win the game and it was great to see the atmosphere, the champions league music, everyone was getting a bit emotional before it and we showed in both boxes today that we were exceptional and that was the difference in the game. the rugby union world cup returned with a bang and so much drama, as the third round of matches got underway, as italy came from behind to beat uruguay in nice and go top of their pool. uruguay took advantage of two italian yellow cards to lead 17—7 at half—time, but the match turned when the uruguay captain was sent to the sin bin. italy then ran in three quick scores to earn a bonus point victory, so it finished 38—17. italy and hosts france both have two wins from two in the group. britian's young tennis star, emma raducanu says she won't now make her return to court until next

season after struggling with injuries. the former us open champion, has missed three of the four grand slams this season, after undergoing surgery on her ankle and both wrists in may. on monday she dropped outside of the world's top 200, but she is still only 20, and has told the bbc shes now focusing on 202a, rather than returning, before the season—ending wta finals in november. best to come back fully fit next year. _ best to come back fully fit next year. i'm — best to come back fully fit next year, i'm sure. best to come back fully fit next year. i'm sure-— year, i'm sure. good luck. it's alwa s year, i'm sure. good luck. it's always a _ year, i'm sure. good luck. it's always a battle, _ year, i'm sure. good luck. it's always a battle, but _ year, i'm sure. good luck. it's always a battle, but still- year, i'm sure. good luck. it's. always a battle, but still young, lots of time, patience. mike, thank you very much. one of the nation's favourite shows, strictly come dancing, is back on our screens with a new line up of celebrities hoping to take home that famous glitterball trophy. the couples have been training hard for their first dances this weekend — and we'll see how they've been getting on this saturday. first though, let's take a look at how they looked on launch night.

i'm victoria hollins. tower hamlets council has agreed to remove the majority of its low traffic neighbourhoods — or ltns — despite some reidents wanting them to stay. campaigners outside a council meeting last night opposed the decision but the council said it will invest £6 million in travel and environmental "improvements." thousands of london underground station staff are to strike next month in a long—running dispute. rmt members will walk out on lith and 6th october, which the union said would shut down the capital's tube service. transport for london says it's "disappointed" at the decision and added no employee will lose theirjob. visitors to the royal parks in london have been warned to stay away from rutting deer this autumn. stags in bushy and richmond parks roar and clash antlers in a bid to attract females. the royal parks charity said people should stay at least 100 metres away. let's take a look at the tubes now.

the district line is part suspended turnham green to richmond. london overground has no service between south acton and richmond. severe delays euston to watford junction and the metropolitan line is part suspended between harrow on the hill and uxbridge. there are minor delays on thejubilee line. now on to the weather. this morning will see plenty of sunshine. the afternoon will see scattered showers until the evening. turning cloudier. maximum temperature: 18c. that's it — head to our website to find out more about all the day's stories. see you then.

good morning. welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and ben thompson. our headlines today... will the bank of england raise interest rates once more — or pause after mr consecutive rises? good morning from a new build housing site in grimsby where they will be watching closely for today's decision. the prime minister defends his decision to change green policy plans, saying he wants to ease the financial burden on households. nuclear bomb test veterans relaunch a battle for compensation — a decade after being legally blocked from suing the government. the seagulls soar into europe on a historic night ahead for brighton. they're playing in european competiton for the first time, hosting aek athens, a prospect, unthinkable a generation ago. if you got caught in the torrential downpours yesterday, you will be

they're hoping that higher interest rates make people spend less, and so shop prices start to fall. the better inflation numbers than anticipated yesterday mean that the bank of england has now a greater chance of keeping rates steady. it means that the bank of england's plan is working. inflation is falling in line with the expectations of the bank of england. and that's a good sign. rising food, petrol, energy costs, rent, mortgage costs are things that everybody ultimately has to pay. 50, therefore, it isn't a case of over commitment. oftentimes, it isjust that expenditures are increasing beyond what they can afford to pay. that's what's happened to jackie. i owe several thousand in my mortgage payments. i owe approximately 300 quid in my energy bills. i owe for council taxes. i owe on my mobile.

she's a former ba air hostess, but an autoimmune disease left her bedridden and unable to work. after a relationship breakup and two girls to look after, she's not able to afford the household bills. when you're counting how many pennies you have in your purse... when you're thinking, 0k, my daughter's left £1 in pocket money... sorry. has left £1 in pocket money in her room... yeah, i could use that to buy a pot noodle. at the moment, your goal isjust to try and keep making some payments to sort of all of your debts. at the moment, ijust do a goodwill gesture whenever i can. ijust pay a bit a month, but it always leaves me short for the month.

i try to be positive, but it's too much. jackie's parents have been helping her out and have both gone back to work in their seventies to help her pay the bills. it's what i have to do. there is no choice. the savings i had when i retired are evaporating. jackie hasn't got enough money to manage all the expenditure that she needs. and sabrina has advice for anyone else in the same boat. it's just you're on the cusp of struggling, but you feel like you will struggle in the future, especially with more rate rises predicted. the key thing is don't bury your head. go and seek that support. colletta smith, bbc news in st helens. we will get the decision on interest rates at midday. full coverage on

bbc news. our other main stories, the government policy around the environment and green policy. we have been speaking to the business and trade secretary this morning. rishi sunak has defended changes he's made to a number of climate policy pledges, which includes delaying a ban on the sale of new petrol and diesel vehicles. our chief political correspondent, henry zeffman, joins us now. henry, we knew this was coming, largely because he were behind skipping this and finding it was going to happen. the prime minister bounced into a press conference yesterday. yesterday we had on kemi badenoch. in yesterday. yesterday we had on kemi badenoch. ., , , , .., . badenoch. in that press conference which, as badenoch. in that press conference which. as you _ badenoch. in that press conference which. as you say. _ badenoch. in that press conference which, as you say, kaymer - badenoch. in that press conference which, as you say, kaymer sin - badenoch. in that press conference which, as you say, kaymer sin day| which, as you say, kaymer sin day van rishi sunak had been planning, he talked about making long—term decisions for the future of the country. —— came a day sooner than

to meet the 2015 at zero target. the labour party disagrees with that they say if they reinstated the 2030 ban on net and diesel car sales, it would be cheaperfor ban on net and diesel car sales, it would be cheaper for households. whatever the rights and wrongs, the ins and outs of that argument about what we will see in the coming weeks and months is more wear rishi sunak and months is more wear rishi sunak and the conservative party try to find a clear divide with the labour party where they can say to you, here are the differences between us before the general election, which is coming next year.— before the general election, which is coming next year. thank you for that. the nhs in england is facing a second day of strike action byjunior doctors. they've walked out as part of their ongoing pay dispute. consultants, who've been on strike for the past two days, are returning to work. junior doctors and consultants are planning more coordinated strike action at the start of next month. the number of 18—year olds getting into university fell this year for the first time in five years. figures from the universities and colleges admission service also showed a record number of school

" it says a significant number of parents are taking children on holiday during term time, with those breaks now being seen as socially acceptable. the cost of living crisis is also thought to be a factor behind low attendance. a metropolitan police officer is due in court later charged with the murder of chris kaba. the 24—year—old was fatally shot through the window of the car he was driving in south london, last september. the officer has not been named. greg mackenzie joins us from westminster magistrates court. what is going to happen today? good morninu. what is going to happen today? good morning- the — what is going to happen today? good morning. the officer _ what is going to happen today?

police has issued a statement saying it is a serious development in relation to the case. the kaba family have told the bbc it was a significant moment and have said it was very significant. the officer will be here in court in the next few hours to answer to that charge. he has not been named for unspecified legal reasons and remains suspended from the force. thank you very much for that. king charles will address both houses of the french parliament later — on the second day of his state visit to france. he�*ll become the first british monarch to do so from the senate chamber. last night, at a banquet at the palace of versailles, the king spoke about strengthening the friendship between france and the uk. here�*s matt with a look at this morning�*s weather. i think it is quite lovely that weather watchers have sent pictures like this. many of us have memories

ofjust being soaked yesterday and are hoping for none of that today. is a welcome sight. some lovely weather watcher shots already in. showing sunny skies for many so far today. especially where we saw some of the heaviest rain in the west of london, close to a month�*s where can hear blue skies developing overhead. mist and fog patches forming, given the ground is on the damp side and we have seen temperatures dropping overnight. still some rain around. the rain yesterday still clearing from kent. we had a few sharp thundery showers in wales and the south—west. they will develop more widely as we go through the day. a fee mist and fog patches. staying dry throughout. the rain in the west of scotland will edge into the north of scotland will edge into the north of ireland with a few showers. the showers will develop more widely. in the south west and midlands we could see the heaviest of the showers with the odd rumble of thunder.

temperatures will all come down on yesterday. 17, 18. down a little bit on what you would normally expect at this stage in september. the breeze will make it feel cooler. gusts will strengthen further tonight into tomorrow. the winds will pick up the shower is continuing. if you showers clipping east anglia and the south—east. in between, rural parts of england and wales could be down to four, five celsius. a fresh start to four, five celsius. a fresh start to friday. allow to dry and bright weather around. the showers will develop more widely during the day. it will be a fresh breeze and temperature is very similar to today. temperature is very similar to toda . ~ , ., today. we will see you later. it does look _ today. we will see you later. it does look a — today. we will see you later. it does look a little _ today. we will see you later. it does look a little bit _ today. we will see you later. it does look a little bit better. i today. we will see you later. it| does look a little bit better. we are getting into autumn, aren�*t we? many of us will be affected by dementia in our lifetime — either by caring for someone with the condition, or developing it ourselves. the ted lasso star kola bokinni

is now one of them, after his dad was diagnosed. 0ur reporter tim muffet sat down with kola, as he opened up for the first time about his family�*s story. he�*s a proud man. amazing cook, always smiling, very routine, you know? loves the laughter, life and soul of the party. this is taiwo bokinni�*s favourite piece of music. upbeat music plays. he was, like, everyone�*s uncle. everyone called him uncle t. a happy, pleasant, polite man, who loved community. but, as his son�*s acting career goes from strength to strength with international stardom, thanks to the tv series ted lasso, vascular dementia is transforming taiwo. it�*s horrible. you watch someone that, like, you idolise and you watch them, like, just literally

deteriorate in front of your eyes and it�*s, like, nothing you can do. so when he was diagnosed with vascular dementia, did you get any support then? did you know what was ahead of you? no. just said the only thing we can do is make him comfortable while the disease progresses. imean, he�*s... ..completely different from what he was like before. he�*s like a different person. he doesn�*t remember any of us. if you lose your memories, like you lose the ability to walk, you know, to make yourself food. to have daily, normal functioning behaviour. it�*s all memory.

it�*s all inside, you know, subconscious memory. and if you lose that, then you lose almost everything about yourself. your career is going amazingly well. you�*re in ted lasso, this global hit, and you�*re coming home to this very challenging situation. how difficult is it to kind of carry on those two lives at the same time? it�*s unbelievably difficult. he went missing for, like, almost 12 hours. they found him opposite side of london. just pyjamas and no shoes. wherever i�*m going, and everyone�*s like, "oh, my god, your life is going so well." and back of my mind, i�*m thinking, "little do you know." vascular dementia is caused by reduced blood flow to the brain. it�*s the second most common type of dementia. the most common cause of dementia is alzheimer�*s disease.

and the prince and princess could be togetherforever, happily ever after. to raise awareness about dementia and as part of its campaign to find a cure, the charity alzheimer�*s research uk has made this film. the prince had been struck by an invisible force, far more powerful than the dragon. voiced by 0livia colman. bit by bit, it robbed him of his charm and wit, constantly playing cruel tricks, trapping him inside a world he could no longer comprehend. turning her beloved prince charming into a stranger she no longer recognised. she would spend the rest of their years desperately trying to rescue him. what do you make of the film? it�*s, um... it�*s very truthful. kola bokinni joins us now, alongside hilary evans, who�*s the chief executive of alzheimer�*s research uk.

travel and weather where you are. hello. good morning from bbc london. i�*m victoria hollins. tower hamlets council has agreed to remove the majority of its low traffic neighbourhoods — or ltns — despite some reidents wanting them to stay. campaigners outside a council meeting last night opposed the decision — but the council said it will invest £6 million in travel and environmental "improvements". the borough will retain all 33 school streets — those with timed closures around drop—offs and pick—ups. thousands of london underground station staff are to strike next month in a long—running dispute. rmt members will walk out on 4 and 6 october, which the union said would shut down the capital�*s tube service. it�*s worried about higher workloads and more lone working. transport for london says it�*s "disappointed" at the decision and added no employee will lose theirjob or be asked to work additional hours. visitors to the royal parks

in london have been warned to stay away from rutting deer this autumn. stags in bushey and richmond parks roar and clash antlers in a bid to attract females to mate with, the royal parks charity said. the charity said people should stay at least 100 metres away if they appear active. london artist nick hornby has been unveling three commissions for permanent public art in westminster and kensington where he grew up. the sculptures reflect issues around gender, strength, and power. he uses a range of materials and experiments with digital technologies. we�*re in a climate where public monuments and public sculpture have become complicated. and this is my contribution to that conversation. i�*m trying to ask questions about what type of icons, what type of memorials we want to have in our urban landscape. let�*s take a look at the tubes now. the district line is part suspended

turnham green to richmond. london overground has no service between south acton and richmond. severe delays euston to watford junction and the metropolitan line is part suspended between harrow on the hill and uxbridge. there are minor delays on thejubilee line. now onto the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. last night�*s heavy rain has cleared, but we are left with a legacy of cloud first thing. that, however, will clear away too, leading to some sunny spells. but we�*ve still got some showers around today. now, once that cloud clears, it is largely dry and sunny through this morning. more cloud into the afternoon. scattered showers moving in from the southwest. not as windy as yesterday, but still a noticeable southwesterly. and temperatures today, 18 or 19 celsius. now overnight tonight, still some heavy showers through the evening. they will gradually start to slide away south and eastwards into tomorrow morning. cool single figures, eight celsius, the minimum. now for tomorrow, the wind starts to veer from the northwest. now those showers overnight will clear. we�*ll get some sunny spells, but then showers feeding in on that breeze. so feeling cooler tomorrow.

the wind coming from a colder place. temperatures getting up to around 18 celsius. now, as we head into the weekend, at the moment, it is looking largely dry. we�*ve got a brief ridge of high pressure in place and temperatures getting a little warmer into next week. that�*s it. head to our website to find out more about all the day�*s stories. there�*s also the bbc news app too. we�*re back in half an hour. see you then. hello, this is breakfast with naga munchetty and ben thompson. thousands of veterans who took part in the uk�*s nuclear tests in the 1950s and 1960s are relaunching a legal battle for compensation. it comes a decade after campaigners were blocked from suing the government — but they say newly—discovered documents suggest military officers may have suspected personnel were being harmed. our home and legal affairs correspondent dominic casciani reports. it looked absolutely amazing.

you know, having never seen anything like this in your life, and it was just rising. all different colours in, like, the top of the mushroom. it was wondrous, you know? it just looked amazing. eric barton is a witness to the history of the nuclear age. yeah, that�*s one of the bombs. wow, just look at the size of it! that�*s another one. in 1962, the young royal engineer was sent to christmas island in the pacific, where he witnessed six nuclear bomb tests over a fortnight. it was all a huge adventure for an ordinary lad from sheffield, barely out of his teens. but now, years later, he feels like he and others were conned by the british and american military. absolutely terrible. you know, guinea pigs. that�*s all they were.

you know. you go and stand there because we�*ve got to see what happens, you know, when it goes off. all these men were young, fit and healthy. explosion. during the �*50s and �*60s, 22,000 british personnel witnessed nuclear bomb tests in the pacific and australia. veterans had long suspected they suffered radiation damage that caused serious and often terminal illnesses. eric barton beat cancer, but four of his close friends from the operation succumbed. the medical link is inconclusive and an attempt to sue the ministry of defence failed in 2012, but newly—found records suggest there are potentially thousands of documents in secret nuclear archives detailing how the bomb tests affected the blood and urine of the personnel. the men are now hoping to go back to court to demand further disclosure. the british government turn round to you and say, "you prove it."

you know. and how can you prove it? you can�*t. we are finding documents that are proving that the government has been lying. well, maybe not the government, the mod have been lying to us for years and years and years. and they�*re covering everything up and have been doing for years and years and years. the ministry of defence says the government is grateful to all personnel, who helped to build the uk�*s nuclear deterrent, but it insists no information is withheld from veterans. "any medical records taken before, during or after participation in the nuclear tests can be accessed on request." the son of this man disputes that. flight lieutenant david purse witnessed tests in australia. years later, his son steve was born with complex conditions. he wants to know if the military played genetic roulette with his late father, passing damage down the generations. i know for a fact and we�*ve got documentary evidence that the blood and urine samples were taken from my father when he served

at maralinga in south australia. now, we know he was exposed to radiation and i have obvious disabilities. so what i want to know is, what was he exposed to? because my condition is actually undiagnosed. this new legal battle could take years, but eric barton has a message for his former comrades. don't give up now. you know, a fight is a fight. keep going. yes. dominic casciani, bbc news. we�*rejoined now by brian unthank, a nuclear veteran, and alan owen, whose father was a nuclear veteran. brian, alan, good morning. we heard the story in the report and we see why it�*s so important but may be brian, explain the significance of this moment and widest change? —— why this changed? i am
