and as a consequence, childcare providers will either shut down or raise prices past affordable levels. as many as 70,000 centres, looking after 3.2 million children, might have to close their doors when the funding runs out — which is a problem because the percentage of women in the workforce with young children is significantly higher than it's ever been. injune, 70.4% of women with children underfive were in the workforce. joining me now is emily peck, a markets correspondent at axios. this was her story that we spotted this morning. serious stuff, this. these women now are so vital to the labour market. these women now are so vital to the labour market-— labour market. exactly, the past few ears have labour market. exactly, the past few years have been _ labour market. exactly, the past few years have been pretty _ labour market. exactly, the past few years have been pretty good - years have been pretty good for women in the us and the labour market. it's been very strong. the

there's an enormous crossover. i just wondered whether we've been talking about the spending bill in the context of ukraine, but all sorts of things are being thrown at the board as the republicans try to get to grips with that. is this the real—life impact of the numbers and the digits they camped in congress? this was part of a package intended to bring the economy back from the pandemic passed in 2021. $24 billion was a historic numbered for the child care industry. it intended to keep it afloat until the price is elevated —— christ is abated. we're now in a different economy and the childcare centres are emerging into a new era where it will be harder for them to hire —— crisis is abated. they're not going to be able to find people to work in these

centres for the lope that they've been offering for so long. there were efforts to put more money into the system, butjust know momentum behind those efforts in the united states, despite the fact that there is a lot of support for child care across both parties. it never really got anyone's attention except for this moment in 2021 when they put all this money into it. fine this moment in 2021 when they put all this money into it.— all this money into it. one final thou~ht, all this money into it. one final thought. but — all this money into it. one final thought, but because - all this money into it. one final thought, but because of - all this money into it. one final thought, but because of the . all this money into it. one final. thought, but because of the cost all this money into it. one final - thought, but because of the cost of living the crisis. many of these women are going to stay in work because they have to. it's the only way the family can afford to live. it means if they can't keep the nursery places, this is going to be to the detriment of children. they're going to miss the early learning experience. they'll be at home, they probably won't be with other children. the knock—on effect of this is quite profound. other children. the knock-on effect of this is quite profound.— of this is quite profound. yeah, i think so. someone _ of this is quite profound. yeah, i think so. someone mentioned i of this is quite profound. yeah, i think so. someone mentioned it| of this is quite profound. yeah, i i think so. someone mentioned it to me just the inconsistency of of care

google's version of the ai chatbox, known as bard, has a new feature — the bard extension. and if you opt into it through workspace, then it will start to operate like a personal assistant. it will, at your instruction, sift through your gmail to decide what's important. it can access google services, like maps or youtube, to help you plan a journey. it can search your google drive for the files you can't lay your hands on. in other words, it will know you like no—one else. and once it has read your emails, should you wish it, bard will even treat you to a psychological assessment. god knows what it would think of my inbox. but the company says this new feature is just what people are after to declutter and organise their lives. joining me now is dr emmanuel maggiori, ai developer and author of the book "smart until it's dumb". that sounds like the perfect title. let's talk about this extension, because what's good about it, first

liverpool have got off to a winning start, but not without a scare against austrian side lask, falling behind early on. they did recover, though, with three second half goals — mohammed salah with the last of them. people expect us to fly to through this competition. that does not happen. does not happen in the group stage, does not happen in other pages. we have to dig into it. that's what we do. massive learning curve tonight. the opponent suffered much less from the pitch that we did. but besides that, got to get used to it so we can learn so much. mohammed kudus has so far proved to be the hero for west ham as they currently lead serbia's backa topola 3—1 at the london stadium. the hammers latest summer signing scoring his sides second before tomas soucek made it three. abdallah sima put rangers ahead against real betis midway

through the second half at ibrox, forcing the ball in after kemar roofe's effort. and they are hanging on to that 1—0 lead against the spaniards. so, a mixed night for british teams in the europa league, and it was a bad night for two british sides in the in their first european match in 13 years, europa conference league. in their first european match in 13 years, aston villa twice came from behind — but still lost 3—2 against legia warsaw. ernest muci scoring twice for the home side, the winner coming early on in the second half. aberdeen tasted defeat in their first european group stage appearance for 15 years, losing 2—1 to eintracht frankfurt. dante polvara had pulled them level in the first half, but this header from robin koch was enough for the home side to take all three points. england's women have reached an agreement with the football association over bonuses and commercial opportunities. talks have been ongoing since the end of last year, but were paused injuly so the team could concentrate on the world cup. speaking ahead of friday's nations

league match with scotland, england captain, millie bright, revealed that the dispute had been settled. we've come to an agreement, and yeah, but i think it's bigger than than just the bonus. for us, it's about being world leaders on and off the pitch. as we know, the women's game is evolving quickly and a conversation like this needs to happen to make sure in all areas we are top of ourgame. the conversation was very positive and as players we feel confident with the structure we have in place. france have made it three wins out of three at the rugby world cup with an absolute demolition job on pool a minnows namibia. at over a point a minute, it's a record winning margin 96—0 and 13 tries in the bag. france were ruthless on the easiest of nights for the hosts in marseille. damian penaud with a hattrick. however, one potential dampener captain and 2021 world player

of the year antoine dupont was taken off on the receiving end of a red card tackle from namibia's captain johan deysel. after serving a four—match ban, england captain 0wen farrell will come straight back into the team for their next world cup match. farrell will play at fly—half for saturday's pool match with chile with head coach steve borthwick making 12 changes in total. fellow fly—half marcus smith will play at full back, whilst george ford drops to the bench to make way for farrell. there's a cracker to look forward to in paris as the top two sides in the world go head to head. ireland have named their squad to face reigning champions south africa at the stade de france on saturday. head coach andy farrell has made one change to the starting 15 that beat tonga last saturday. scrum—halfjamison gibson—park returns in place of conor murray. plenty at stake with the winner of the match likely to top the group and avoid hosts france, with a probable quarter—final against new zealand. georgia hall and celine boutier will renew their unbeaten partnership when europe's solheim cup defence gets under way on friday in spain.

0ut—of—form american lexi thompson will hit the opening tee shot at finca cortesin just after eight o'clock local time. it's alternate shot foursomes to begin with. thompson, playing with megan khang, faces swedish rookies linn grant and maja stark. england's hall and boutier of france, who won three points together in 2019, play americans danielle kang and andrea lee. and that's all the sport for now. from me marc edwards and the rest of the team, bye—bye. good evening. the rather autumnal weather picture will continue for the end of the working week as well. we've had more heavy rain or heavy showers today. the showers continue as we go through the night. at least it'll be different to last night, when it was the persistent rain, 30—40 millimetres that pushed through southern and eastern areas. we have had another dollop, though, of persistent rain in the north, showers in between. now, that band of rain in the north will tend to fragment to showers, but we could see further heavy,

thundery showers moving into central and eastern areas, as well as a scattering elsewhere as that band of rain makes its way southwards. but in between, some clear spells and a cooler, fresher night — notably so across southern parts of england and wales compared with last night. we move into friday, and those showers may take a couple of hours to clear away from eastern areas, and then it's a day of sunny spells and scattered showers. again, there'll be some heavy showers rushing through on a stronger wind. that'll be the notable difference, i think, for most of us. that wind coming down from the north or north—west, really quite strong around some of the coastlines and over the hills, and pushing those showers ever southwards. so, temperatures on a par with those of today, but i think they'll feel a little bit cooler because of the strength of that wind. but the winds ease away, then, during the night on friday and a little ridge of high pressure, a window of drier, calmer weather, so part one of the weekend does look like the drier day at the moment. we might have some early morning mist and some fog around, but then, in comes the rain

and the cloud ahead of this, i think, to bring it to northern ireland in particular. but for many of us, there'll be some good spells of sunshine — 16—17 on the cards. now, moving into saturday night, we see the remnants of this time hurricane nigel moving in, so there's more energy in the atmosphere. again, some tropical moisture. so, yes, we're going to see windier, wetter weather returning for sunday. it's likely, we think, that southern and eastern areas might escape the rain, certainly more cloud around and more breeze as well. this time, it's changing to the south, coming up from the south or the south—west. this time, it's changing to the south, coming up from the south or the south—west. so, temperatures rise, actually, during sunday, but with it in many areas, some fairly persistent and heavy rain, which will take a time to clear on monday. and even once it does, as you can see, it's a rather showery, unsettled picture as we go into next week. more online.
