in salisbury town centre you get the full view of the mixed picture.cafe and gallery there is still spending power out there. a lot of our customers are probably a bit older, so we don't feel the mortgage rate, although it creates uncertainty for them and we do notice that when there is a rate rise, everyone gets a bitjittery. does it feel like we are getting green shoots? no, i don't. i feel we are in a holding pattern. it could go either way. today the bank of england said the tough medicine was beginning to work. there are interest rates which have been raised to their highest level in 14 years, attempting to drain spending powerfrom the economy, and the period of near zero interest rates now consigned to history with the bank warning that rates could remain at this level for some time. if you asked the question, yes, when i rates going to come down, my answer is, we are going to need much more solid evidence that inflation is going to come down and i mean that people can rely on it. the housing market correction may have started already? we are see

he says it will take a chinese equivalent of the salisbury poisonings, that is the skripal poisonings russian agents, for the british to wake up to this real threat. do you feel that? china definitely have an extensive surveillance network in the united kingdom. and of course, they are not... probably not as violent in terms of attacking exile activists like russia, but if they are stepping up all those attacks, which would likely happen in the future, then definitely we are living in danger. you've talked about the possibility of abduction. was that a rhetorical device to get the british government to take your security more seriously? do you really mean it? i think there's always a fear like that because of how outrageous the chinese government has been acting. it's really easy to see that they're becoming more and more aggressive — more... more of, like, wolf warrior diplomacy in place. and this is not something that is fabricated or, like, fantasised. in thailand, there were some book—sellers abducted in 2015. and we've got a new case where a human rights lawyer in laos, he's almo

how do you right they said where some newcomer was, some bench, by some salisbury swamp.swam all sorts of things. they were ready to accept na vera because they said father, because they said it. on downing street and somewhere in washington, this served as an excuse for them to start expelling russian diplomats, a wild campaign of persecution of russia once again. nobody saw any materials. and i don’t need anyone, they didn’t give me a single formula. what kind of substance was it, the same thing happened with this one. here's how his navalny yes, who was allegedly poisoned there, they drove around germany, they kept shouting and making noise. how so and so on. it was all they cared about. although to them. it had nothing to do with what has to do with them directly. they are afraid to say a word, by the way, speaking, by the way, the same depleted shells with a combined wound have a direct relation to them grain, then what do they take for themselves? they take grain from these lands to feed. they are their own people. what will they be even this question afraid to ask,

he was almost murdered by a nerve agent known as nava chalk, and salisbury. u. k. narrowly surviving london believes that put in was the mastermind of this attack as well. what about you have jimmy precaution? he was long considered to be strong man, especially in ukraine, but in june he spent his mercenaries to moscow and then attempted to that meet the president, look week after what we're experiencing is treason and the feedback is exactly 2 months later if jenny precaution is dead, according to official reports, he died in a plane crash between moscow and saint petersburg. the kremlin calls accusations of its involvement in absolute life can expect more betrayals in the future. let me put that question to you. uh, good stuff. uh, you mentioned camara and there is a mafia, esc quality. certainly to these targeted murders. they're designed to signal dominance as with the mafia. but could it backfire? i think on the short term, not on the long term hunters. for, for now putting uh has consolidated his power. you see that for example, in inquiry on the russian a

but at this estate agent in salisbury they say there are still more people wanting houses than thereavailable. a supply and demand issue that tony believes will prevent house prices from plummeting even as mortgage costs go up. our sales figures are pretty much the same as they were through the pandemic. what's changed is the price levels. so our higher end is definitely quieter, but our lower end is busier. you wouldn't think first time buyers were on the scene, but they are. and i think that's due to the high rents. rents are climbing very, very quickly and first time buyers are saying, should we take a mortgage or should we spend the rent and lose the money? and parents are helping the first time buyers, so the lower end is propping everything else up. but the bank of england hopes that raising interest rates will bring down demand in the wider economy as it tries to slow the rise in the cost of living just enough without causing a period of decline. hannah miller, bbc news. let's talk to paul dales, chief uk economist at capital economics. thank you forjoining us on bbc news. let
