on an ongoing basis, but the other thing we need to think about with the utility costs, for the uk's energy cut will move up. and hundred 10% in october, and you start to lose what we had all year, so there's also a little concerned that inflation numbers will look a little bit higher, so when we get what we are looking for again, you commented on the gdp situation, and absolutely, the gdp numbers this summer have not been great for the u.k.. so a lot of that stagnation in the economy combined with the situation that inflation is still under control. so, again, on hold for today, but the markets are still pricing in this year. i think that might be the question. tom: as you look ahead to 2025, with that view on the growth picture, how do you see that it evolving at the impact that these cuts will have? do we see a pickup, a more meaningful pickup in growth next year for this u.k. economy? >> the mechanism, in terms of falling interest rates, are really feeding the economy has lagged. we see that on the upside, where you were seeing rising interest rates through 22 or 23. in the u.k. and u.s

the chance to achieve clean and secure energy, lower bills and drive growth for the uk.he natural world around us on which all prosperity ultimately depends. the truth is that in the last few years something went badly wrong. badly wrong in our national debate on climate change and zero. i take no pleasure in saying that. from the high point of bipartisan consensus at cop26, net zero became under the tories a battleground. a battleground of the worst type of narrow—minded westminster tactical warfare. westminster tactical warfare. we have seen in the inflation reduction act in the united states, in the green deal in the european union and the accelerating transition in china, foreign policy, economic and industrial policy are increasingly intertwined. but while others embedded climate geopolitics in their foreign policy, the last government frittered away the currency we had accumulated in the past. they became climate dinosaurs, crushing offshore wind, blocking onshore wind, moving the goalposts on electric vehicle targets, doubling down on oil and gas. leaving british

also looking at the shift in the uk to clean energy. all that and more. i will see you in a moment. n more than three or four times their average september rainfall. and there's more wet weather to come too, notably for the start of the week and then through the middle of the week, things will settle down, it will turn drier, there will be some sunshine, so things looking up and temperatures will return to the seasonal average too. but in the meantime, this is the rainfall accumulation chart for the next couple of days. so more wet weather, especially in the south. and there could be some more flooding over the midlands with more heavy downpours here on the ground already saturated. and it's all because this deep area of low pressure is rolling in from the southwest through the rest of the night, bringing heavy, persistent outbreaks of rain, especially over the higher ground. strong, gusty winds, especially on the southern flank there. a few showers further north, but generally here, it is drier, and it's a milder start across the board than we saw over the weekend. and that low cont

since we did just hear from the uk perspective on energy security this question sums up the combination of them. what will be the impact of the inflation reduction act on national and energy security? i will start saying that if we think about what controls most of the energy security in the world it is opec and who runs opec? every single one of them are autocratic dictators. opec plus is all dictators. the us produces a decent amount of oil and gas but it can never supply the world and this infrastructure is extremely vulnerable as we have seen in ukraine. to make sure we are energy secure we've got to move away from oil and gas. it is as simple as that. in fact, the world moving away from fossil fuels is an x essential threat to putin. something the dictators of the world fear the most because it reduces their influence exponentially. while solving the existential threat of climate change. so that you get a benefit in both. cake and ice cream. big picturewise when you look at the tactical side there's a reason the us military bases are becoming smart clean energy grids and will be by

been cooler and less sticky than in the uk and the us, the pressure is be more controlled, i would say. additionally, it was driven by the base effect on the energyts, as opposed to the sticky services component. it was easier for inflation to go down quicker than in the us and uk. good to talk to yom _ than in the us and uk. good to talk to you. thank _ than in the us and uk. good to talk to you. thank you. - here in the uk, it's a similar picture, with inflation holding steady, despite a rise in the cost of flights. the latest figure for the year to august came in at 2.2%, the same figure as for the eurozone. so slightly above the bank of england's target of 2%. core inflation, which strips out the impact of volatile items like food and energy, did rise, though — to 3.6% — in the 12 months to august. that's up from 3.3% injuly. the bank meets tomorrow to decide on whether to cut interest rates. these figures are likely to play into that decision, but expectations are that the bank will hold off from cutting rates just yet. let's unpack this a bit more with suren thiru, head of economics at the british chambers of commerce. good to have you here

uk. it shows we're at the forefront of another energy revolution. as a key part of the industrial revolution, but we've now made technological progress, and it now means that we can generate electricity in the uk without relying on the most polluting of sources of energy. coal produces twice as much carbon dioxide per unit of electricity that than gas, and so we've been very successful in moving away from coal. we now rely for most of our electricity on renewables, clean renewables and about a quarter of our electricity comes from natural gas . gas. >> well, first of all, let me just quibble on the term polluting, because carbon dioxide isn't polluting. it may have consequences for the temperature, but it's not like particulates or dust getting out. it's not dirty in that sense. and our electricity is twice the price of polluting. well i'm just quibbling on the word pollution, but our electricity is twice the price of that of the united states . of that of the united states. and so we see energy intensive industries like the port talbot steelworks cl

the new government has to build a global clean power alliance and the uk government to be the first major power to have clean energyd nature finance in his words. and three, notjust to halt but to reverse the decline in biodiversity. we will be talking about this more on bbc news but the new foreign secretary, he's been in a job forjust secretary, he's been in a job for just over two secretary, he's been in a job forjust over two months, talking for the last half an hour on plans to put climate at the heart of britain's foreign policy. just in the last hour orso policy. just in the last hour or so the head of the bbc has said he can't see huw edwards looking at the corporation again after the presenter was given a six—month suspended prison sentence for making indecent images of children. edwards will also be placed on the sex offenders register for seven years. injuly the the sex offenders register for seven years. in july the former seven years. injuly the former newsreader admitted having 41 images which were sent to him on whatsapp including some showing a victim between seven and nine years old. i can give you

historically we have had long—standing problems in the uk, poor housing which is difficult to keep warm, one of the lowest pensions in europe, rising energyld —related winter deaths amongst older people, i could go on but i'm running out of time, so i urge the government to think very seriously about delaying this proposal and in its place putting forward a pensioner task force to look at ways in which we can tackle pensioner poverty in the uk. i stand to speak on behalf of my 18,500 pensioners who are affected by this and before i speak on their behalf, i want to commend the member at fort york centralfor an to commend the member at fort york central for an impassioned speech and i know it is not easy standing against your own party but the fact of the matter is, this is a decision today which is a choice between right and wrong and the fact of the matter is, those members who are defending this choice by the government and by the chancellor, to make this decision to put this on the backs of pensioners, the sheer brass neck to go out there and defend this, this allegedly black hole, when they have paid billions to unions without any savi

because this time yesterday we were looking at parts of the uk, port talbot, scunthorpe, where they i think potentially thousands ofjobs lost in old energyarts of the uk. ., , , , ., uk. certainly, yes, more battery- powered - uk. certainly, yes, more l battery-powered capability uk. certainly, yes, more i battery-powered capability and battery—powered capability and movements onto green technology, it is actually going to need a huge amount more investment coming in. what you are seeing a course with yesterday's news is that we are seeing more of this going elsewhere, not coming into the united kingdom, and so what we now need to see is how we actually try to attract more investment because of something like this to actually say well, not just like this to actually say well, notjust in terms of investments, in terms of ins and outs operations but in terms of actual battery size and battery power, that is what we want to try and see coming and. now, we have a huge shortage of that at the moment, we have a great opportunity for green power coming in but we do need much more investment. justin, lovely to see you as ever. around the world a

beach head, um, a strategic jumpoff point for the us, the the uk and then the west in general to uh uh..." to uh essentially expropriate the energy resources of of the region, so there's no question that the united states is going to cease supporting israel for that very reason. now in the case of in the case of this current netanyahu coalition, we know there has just been a, report an israeli newspaper up uh which obtained a document showing that netanyahu derailed uh a ceasefire essentially a ceasefire deal and hostage deal which was actually accepted in principal on may the 27th and the d the document shows without any any doubt that that he he derailed it because he doesn't, um, ben gaveir and smalters have said they will withdraw from the coalition, he'll fall from power and he'll face, he'll face a prison term for fraud, bribery and and breach of trust, he doesn't want to go to prison, so to continue, he's going to continue uh the the genocide, he's going to depend on uh, okay, bruce, on the united states to keep supporting him, i want to thank you for joining us there, bruce, we are. out of out of time, we'll have to finis

you can have self—sufficiency in energy in the uk by developing the nuclear sector, which we're doinghaving a backup of gas, which which we already do . so, you know, you already do. so, you know, you don't need to pursue extreme policies to have a policy of energy security. and as for mass immigration, i mean, i'm a little older than you, but i remember the days of enoch powell. people were going on and on about how mass immigration was changing british society from the worst. what has happenedis from the worst. what has happened is that british society has actually become a lot more tolerant and a lot more accepting, and have seen the positive side of diversity. i mean, i live in a diverse capital city in london. i think we're much the better for it. so l, we're much the better for it. so i, you know, there is a genuine concern about unauthorised immigration. you know, the small boats, they're not big numbers , boats, they're not big numbers, but the fact that it suggests a lack of control or a lack of ability to manage the problem, but i don't think mass immigration as a theme is g

energy security at the defence think tank rusi. it's a lot of money to not save jobs. why is it so important that the ukon the first point about not saving jobs, tata was facing a big investment decision anyway and it was either going to have to invest in the blast furnaces or electric carbon furnaces or shutting down the site entirely, so although it is clearly a big blow for the local community and the employees affected, the jobs that survive should not be taken for granted, and they may have been lost as well. so there has been some saving. 0n there has been some saving. 0n the importance of the steel industry, there are three fundamental reasons. no country with the manufacturing sector as large as the uk oil with similar gdp has produced is that of steel as uk already, so france has a similar characteristics and produces about double the amount of steel, and we have been going down an untrodden path. we don't know what impact it would have on industry. secondly, although there is an overcapacity in steel globally, there are lots of different types of steel and in the uk sometimes are only one or t

strips out the impact of volatile items like food and energy did rise to 3.6% in the 12 months to august, that�*s up from 3.3% injuly. inflation in the uk5.6% from 5.2% injuly. 50 restaurants, rose to 5.6% from 5-2% in july-— 5.2% in july. so the headline fiaure 5.2% in july. so the headline figure remains _ 5.2% in july. so the headline figure remains unchanged. l 5.2% in july. so the headline l figure remains unchanged. but there were some changes and we look at the subcomponents. service sector inflation which is an area of the bank of england is watching very closely and as it considers and weighs up when to cut interest rates and it takes higher. this was expected and it does suggest that the service sector inflation is probably a bit more sticky than what the bank of england would like. we also saw core inflation so this is the inflation gauge which strips out more volatile items such as food and fuel, also rose. but we saw ppi inflation, versus what is called factory gate inflation or wholesale inflation, and it�*s an considered lead indicator and consumer price inflation. that actually fell. so that is a good sign, that suggests

and also we have the voluntary assisted returns and the uk has already dedicated energies on this foror solutions to libya, to look for solutions to help the nations of north africa, which otherwise risk being left alone in front of massive flows that come from other countries as well. so it's an extensive kind of work. albania. well, i have seen that the prime minister was very interested in what we are doing, but for sure he should be the one to speak about this. but indeed, the model that the italian government has conceived of centres to process asylum applications for those immigrants who disembark within italian or eu legislation or european legislation in a foreign country that was a model that was never experimented with before. if it works, as i hope it will, everybody can understand that this can become , understand that this can become, let's say, a new way really to deal with migration flows. also, because of the element of deterrence that this creates vis a vis relying on criminal organisations to reassure. and this is the reason why, as you all know by now, we've been wo

i think in the uk we've been gaslit into thinking that energy pnces gaslit into thinking that energy, it is no, no, but they're not everywhere. do you know what i mean? like in america, it is nowhere as bad as it is in the united kingdom. >> but but gas. my sister lives in texas. gas is massively more expensive now than it was even a few years ago. >> absolutely. but the home energy bills i think, are way worse in this country because of policies taken in this country. now, to go back to kamala harris, you're right. she wants to stop fracking. they stopped the xl keystone pipeline. as you recall. they've taken away licenses which disincentivizes oil and gas companies to invest and build new things. look, we all want renewable energy one day, but we're just not there yet. so if you ask the average american and i would compare this to even a more conservative brit, if they are going to give up their luxuries, their air conditioning, their heat, their , conditioning, their heat, their, their car, their gasoline, they will say, i'm an american. i work way too hard. i pay way too many tax
