11:50 am
this year, unfinished business. some people have asked me what one word would be to describe team usa this year and i will just say, hungry. being on the same amount of sometime caps and not necessarily getting the job done last year, it leaves not the best taste in your mouth but luckily, we didn't have to wait two years, we have this year to get back at it and i can tell you now, we are more hunger than ever. that's all the sport for now but i'll be back later today to bring you mnore of the sport. you're watching bbc news. at midday, sir keir starmer and rishi sunak will face off in the house of commons and prime minister's questions will also see the much delayed legislation to help renters return to parliament. this time it will be labour's version. there will be to ministerial statements in the chamber
11:51 am
today. the business secretary will be speaking on the government �*s deal with touch of steel uk, that is on the port talbot transition project. the secretary of state for northern ireland is due to speak on the murder of patrick finnegan. we will have live scenes from the house of commons shortly but first, let's look at some of the other stories we are looking at this morning. a man with learning discipline he is who said he felt under pressure to confess to murder has had his conviction quashed after 33 years. oliver campbell was jailed for life in 1991 for the murder of a shopkeeper in london. he was interviewed without a lawyer present after being arrested for a fatal shooting during an off—licence robbery. judges of the court of appeal have now ruled that his conviction for the murder of this man was unsafe. official figures showed the uk

economy failed to grow for the second time, the second month in a row. rachel reeves said the initial estimate of gdp for july from the office of national statistics reflected the estate of the economy that government had inherited the conservatives. i am under no illusions about the scale of this new government faces in fixing the economy. after 1a years of economic stagnation, i'm not going to be able to turn everything around in one month. or indeed in one budget. but today in welcoming the new investment from the amazon web services in the uk and data centres and good jobs paying decent wages and helping people train with those technical skills, is about the prize that is on offer if we can brings debility back to the economy and work in partnership with business to rebuild our country and make it better off and that is what i am in this business for. our chief economics correspond
11:53 am
and gave us this analysis of the figures. let's take a look at what was going on here because we had that summer of sport, the euros, wimbledon, the olympics and we did see a boost of things like food and drinks sales and leisure activities all around that but it was a disappointing month for manufacturing and construction, so the economy stands still but if we step back, one month's figures are always volatile, you cannot take them to seriously. sometimes over the year so far what we have seen is an emphatic recovery from the recession we had last year but over a longer term, the chancellor is right, we have a lot of work to do to grow the economy to a faster rate and thatis economy to a faster rate and that is her challenge of course. these things don't happen overnight but we should see more of the rest of this year. this is weaker growth than they had excited but there are other things to take into the equation, things like inflation, wages, growth and if you look at all of those, they tended to say that the bank of england is likely to pose this
11:54 am
time around and see what happens and maybe again in november but we wait and see and already we are seeing some of those mortgage rates are starting to come down. as we were saying, it is not too long now until we see sir keir starmer and rishi sunak face off in prime minister's questions. let's go straight to westminster and join our clinical correspondence. quite a lot that we are expecting to hear about today. take us through some of the main issues. ,, . , , , ., issues. quite a few issues that are floating — issues. quite a few issues that are floating around _ issues. quite a few issues that are floating around today. - issues. quite a few issues that| are floating around today. they have been over the last couple of days. there are those latest figures on the economy that you just heard fair. there are also the release of prisoners yesterday, after having served 40% of their sentence, to save or free up some space in prisons, which has been criticised by the conservatives. but both of those carry some risk for the
11:55 am
conservatives. there is the risk that keir starmer will go back to rishi sunak and pin that to his time in government and actions that he will say the conservatives did not take. it seems the most likely thing we are likely to see the conservatives try to put to the prime minister under pressure on today is again, that issue about withdrawing the winter fuel allowance, about withdrawing the winter fuelallowance, mean about withdrawing the winter fuel allowance, mean testing it and withdrawing it from all apart from those in the lowest incomes. we have had that vote incomes. we have had that vote in parliament yesterday where we saw around 50 labour mps who did not vote, around 20 of those had expressed opposition to the plans. we have also seen the trade unions putting on a lot of pressure over the course of the last couple of days, they are meeting at their annual congress in brighton and there have been a series of criticism is from union leaders aimed at the labour leadership about their decision to do that and just this morning, the tuc
11:56 am
has voted overwhelmingly to oppose the withdrawal of the winter fuel allowance. we would expect that that is something the conservatives are likely to keep wanting to try and poke that bruce, if you like. we have heard _ that bruce, if you like. we have heard from _ that bruce, if you like. we have heard from the chancellor again, defending that decision, saying there will not be a u—turn. what more has she been saying on that? the u-turn. what more has she been saying on that?— saying on that? the government line has been _ saying on that? the government line has been pretty _ saying on that? the government line has been pretty consistent l line has been pretty consistent on this, that they need to do this because they say bigger than expected problem with the finances, they call it a £22 billion black hole that they say has emerged there is for spending this year and that is why they say they must make this difficult choice, as they put it. there has been some suggestion or pressure to be put on the government to put in place other changes and other mitigations for pensioners who are going to lose this at short notice but at the moment, the
11:57 am
tone of the government is pretty resistant to that, they are sticking to this mantra that it is a difficult choice but one that they have to make because they need to use their phrase, to fix the foundations of the economy, so it is a pretty consistent line we are getting from government on this. of getting from government on this. of course, that legislation is now happening. it will come to pass from next week, this change to the winter fuel allowance. we week, this change to the winter fuel allowance.— fuel allowance. we can expect questions _ fuel allowance. we can expect questions on _ fuel allowance. we can expect questions on that, _ fuel allowance. we can expect questions on that, we - fuel allowance. we can expect questions on that, we are - fuel allowance. we can expectj questions on that, we are also expecting to see the renters reform bill in the commons later today. that was something that was talked about under the previous government, tell us where we are at with it now. this was legislation, a piece of similar legislation that the conservative government brought in last year and was putting through parliament but it got changed. there was quite a fight with some conservative backbenchers over some of the things in it. eventually it did not pass through parliament. it
11:58 am
was not put through. this is the bill that would do things like banning so—called new evictions which are when tenant can be served with an eviction notice, a section 21, through notice, a section 21, through no fault of their own, but because the landlord wants that property back, but they can, and have been used by some landlords in a sort of retaliatory way when tenants have requested repairs or changes. so the last government vowed to ban them, didn't pass that legislation. labour has said it will ban them and allege that legislation today. the renters reform bill also contains other measures, things like the right to request a pet, which again was in the conservative legislation, too, the idea that a landlord cannot reasonably refuse to allow a
11:59 am
tenant to have a pet in the property. it also brings in things like removing the ability to have a blanket ban on tenants who have children for example or tenants who are claiming benefits. we are expecting that later today. thank you for the moment. we are going to be bringing you prime minister's questions in full. let's cross now to the house of commons where it is due to begin. treating cancer early is absolute critical for survival rates. in england, the target is to have 85%. another thing you mentioned in your earlier chat was the early release of prisoners which is likely to come up in questions
12:00 pm
which is quite controversial policy. which is quite controversial oli . , , _ which is quite controversial oli. ,, , ., policy. this is the policy of releasing _ policy. this is the policy of releasing prisoners - policy. this is the policy of releasing prisoners after. policy. this is the policy of. releasing prisoners after their sentence, prisoners who would have automatically been 50% of their sentence. this was discussed by the last government because there has been a persistent problem over the last year or so of there being very little spare capacity in the prison estate and they are running out of room in the prison estate. the last government didn't go for it, the last government did other kinds of release instead. we see the prime minister on his feet so we will now go to prime minister's questions. to st prime minister's questions. trr st james's park to honour her memory. i know the whole house willjoin me in sending our best wishes to be princess of wales as she completes her
