According to the british retail consortium, Food Inflation fell last month to 13. 4 thanks to the lower cost of staple goods like oils, breakfast cereals, fats and fish. Heres our Business Correspondent emma simpson. It may not feel like it but the worst of food price rises could now be over. Grocery bills, though, are still way too high for many shoppers. Like, before you can just walk in with £10 and get a lot of things but now even £10 cant even buy what you actually want to buy. I mean, at the moment im ok but i guess im very lucky. But if it increased any more, just like Mortgage Rates as well, just like, yeah, the whole things going up, isnt it . Instead of Buying Luxuries now i buy the basics. Todays Food Price Figures come from the trade body for retail which also monitors the change in shop prices. Lets take a look at this chart which tells the story. Now, you can see how food prices jumped from last year. They were going up before the war in ukraine, but then they really started to rocket from last summer. Food inflation on this survey peaked at nearly 16 in april this year. But it has been falling ever since, down to 13. 4 forjuly. The brc says that is helped by some key items like oils and fish coming down in cost. We are seeing that prices are falling in some areas and they are still continuing to rise but much more slowly. There are cause for concern around ukraine exports of core cereals and also india have introduced rice restrictions. So there are cause for concern in those areas. But overall the picture is more optimistic. And poor weather on the high street lead to bigger discounts on clothing and footwear to persuade us to part with our cash. That led to overall shop prices falling month on month. Its very encouraging to see the rate of shop Price Inflation fade finally, after two years in which we have all felt the pinch. But unfortunately the Bank Of England probably still have to press ahead with higher Interest Rates on thursday. Services inflation still is far too high relative to their target, and so they need to squeeze the economy a bit harder to get that down, too. Consumers are trying to cope by changing what they buy in the aisles. For now, overall food prices are still going up. Its just that theyre not going up quite as fast as before. Emma simpson, bbc news. Meanwhile big changes on how much we pay for alcohol come into force today with drinks now subject to duty based on how strong they are. That means the price of wine and spirits will go up. But some weak beers and sparkling wine will be slightly cheaper. Ben king has this report. The Bristol Distilling Company is known for its gin, and its branching out to vodka too. But these are some of the strongest drinks on the market and, under the new rules, the stronger the drink, the more tax you pay. Yet another rising cost they will have to pass on. Around 80p per bottle, so a significant rise for sure. I think when you combine that with all the other increases in costs that weve seen recently, then it leaves producers in a position where most are going to have to pass tha increase on to their customers. So, yeah, itll definitely have an effect. Alcohol taxes are being reorganised to tax drinks according to their strength. And, after a freeze for nearly three years, Alcohol Taxes as a whole rise with inflation up 10. 1 . Result, a complex brew of price changes. 12 sparkling wine will be 19p cheaper, as higher rates for fizz are abolished. A can of pre mixed gin and tonic will be 5p cheaper, but a bottle of 12 still wine will rise 44p, a bottle of vodka up 76p and a bottle of 20 port up £1. 30. The wine and Spirit Trade Association says it represents the biggest Price Increase for nearly 50 years. Now, to support pubs which have been hit by the pandemic and rising prices, draught drinks are largely protected from the duty rises that other drinks are seeing, which means that you should pay up to11p less duty on a pint of beer bought from a pub than you would pay on the same pint from a supermarket. These duty changes are welcome. They hopefully will make for a fairer system, recognising lower strength products should receive lower duty. However, there is still an increase overall for the beer. For your bottles and cans, they will become 10. 1 . And unfortunately, that costs the industry some £225 million. The government says it wants to simplify the alcohol tax system, while protecting producers and pubs. But it has to raise revenue, too. And for those who like their alcohol strong, drinks will get more expensive. And ben king is with me now. A mixed picture, some good news and some not so good news for consumers . Start with the Alcohol Taxes, we heard from a producer on that report, the industry has been under a lot of pressure recently. Most of them dont have the scope to absorb them dont have the scope to absorb the prices, so they will have to pass them on. That could show up as early as today, certainly coming days and weeks. Alcohol taxes, whatever the complexities of the new changes that have been arranged, will see large rises across a large number of different drinks. In the report, we saw that food prices, although still extremely high, nearly 15 , it is worth reminding ourselves what an extraordinary figure that isnt how difficult it has made it for a lot of people to put food on the table. Nonetheless, it is heading in the right direction. The numbers that economists look at the most closely are the inflation numbers, of course, compiled by the office for national statistics. After a few months where we saw the number is higher than expected, the most recent figures, which were forjune, saw a number that was below expectations. That has raised hopes that the medicine, the difficult, painful medicine that the Bank Of England has been feeding the economy is beginning to work. So now all eyes will be on the Bank Of England on thursday, when we get their latest decision on Interest Rates. As we heard and emmas report, it is likely to be another rise. But experts hope it will be one of the last rises we see in the current cycle. Last rises we see in the current cle. ~ ,. , last rises we see in the current cle. , ~ ,.

The first one was just four minutes into the match and it was a pass from james to alessia russo, who found herself free in the box and calmly finished for her first goal in a world cup. And then the second was a really nice combination between the two laurens on the pitch, laurenjames passed to lauren hemp, who wrapped it around the keeper. And thenjames got one for herself. An unbelievable finish from the chelsea striker, whipping the ball into the far corner for englands third. As you said, englands third. As you said, england need just one point from this match, so a win or a draw would suffice to get through to the Knockout Stages of the tournament. As it stands, they would go through top of their group. Its been a bit of a slow start to this world cup for england. They had a narrow victory against haiti in their opening match, and then another 1 0 win against denmark for their second match. And who scored . It was lauren james again. She really has been shining in this tournament. But the build up to this has been donated by a knee injury to one of the players, midfielder keira walsh.

Ukraines president , volodymyr zelensky, has warned that the war is coming to russia. Meanwhile the russians are claiming theyve destroyed three ukrainian unmanned boats that were trying to attack its black sea naval fleet. From kyiv, our ukraine correspondent James Waterhouse reports. The gloss of the financial district in the heart of moscow. But look closer. On this buildings 21st floor, a blemish. An impact, apparently from a drone. After a night when Authorities Say several were shot down. It was kind of that size, says this man. It flew into the building. The most important thing is everyone is alive and ok. After months of feeling distant, russias invasion of ukraine is suddenly closer to home. Two days ago, a similar attack involving the same block. After the first attack, everyone said it wouldnt hit the same place twice and today we all woke up and were a bit shocked. I dont know what im going to do, but i think ill move from here. In moscow, the blame has been aimed squarely at ukraine. Indeed the threat exists. It is obvious, but action is being taken. Kyiv has also been accused of trying to attack russias prized Black Sea Fleet off occupied crimea. Ukraine rarely admits responsibility, although it did claim a recent strike on russias kerch bridge, which connects the peninsula to mainland russia. For ukrainian cities, attacks from the sky are a daily occurrence. Last night in kharkiv, a College Dormitory was hit by a drone. More than 70 people were injured after this Missile Strike yesterday. Six were killed. I lived on the ground floor here for 30 years and at the age of 70, i lost everything. Im homeless now, thanks to so called brothers, homeless. In a war where the targeting of cities is a constant, some tend to stand out more than others. And james is live for us now in kyiv. Is this war, as president zelensky puts it, coming into russia . The very idea of that puts the west. It makes the west feel very uncomfortable. Its been a condition from western allies like the us and the uk for the weapons are provides to not be used inside russian territory, yet here are, having seen more than 100 Drone Strikes deep inside russia, and here we are again seeing russias capital itself being targeted. Wejust seeing russias capital itself being targeted. We just had seeing russias capital itself being targeted. Wejust had comments coming from the senior president ial adviser, and just look at the language being used. He warns that moscow will have to get used to a full fledged war. He talks of more unidentified drones, more collapse, as he puts it, and more civil conflicts. Thats incredibly threatening language. It pushes the boundaries of what a denial constitutes. And i think there is a Propaganda Opportunity for kyiv. Yes, it has been responsible for Drone Strikes like this in the past, but i think the effect is more psychological than military, because you are not going to suddenly see ukrainian troops crossing the border. I think what it would love to do is to push Russian Troops to that border and consolidate what was lost. House prices in the uk have dropped by the largest annual amount since 2009, according to figures from the Building Society nationwide. Prices have fallen by almost 4 from july last year, with the average cost of a home in the uk nowjust over £260,000. Lets go live now to our correspondent, colletta smith. Colletta, whats driving this trend . Well, its interesting, what we are seeing is the biggest house price fall since the financial crash in 2009. At the ingredients, the causes of the fall are very different. Its really being fuelled by the huge increases in Mortgage Rates that we have seen over recent months. Today, if you are to get a two year, fixed Rate Mortgage deal, the average price you would be paying is 6. 85 in interest, a massivejump compared to this point last year. That means more people are failing of the Mortgage Affordability Checks were now trying to get hold of a mortgage and others are opting for cheaper properties, putting on low offers. That is having a real world impact on house prices. Nationwide saying that since that peak that we saw in august last summer, prices have actually dropped by 4. 5 , more buyers hesitating as well at the moment, just as rates are shifting so much, and everything feels quite uncertain these last few months. And thats having an impact on the amount of property sold, so nationwide are saying that injune there was a 15 drop in the number of properties that they processed for sale. They say the sodan will continue as the Bank Of England is increasing Interest Rates. As weve been hearing, the Bank Of England are meeting this week and we are expecting on thursday another Interest Rate rise. That means that house prices are likely to continue to fall. The time is 1 19pm. Our top story this afternoon. The rate at which food prices are rising in the shops slows to its lowest level since last year. And coming up, at least 20 people have been killed in deadly floods in china. Coming up on bbc news, holders the usa survive a scare at the womens world cup. They were the width of a post away from going out but a draw against portugal proves enough. Mps are calling for an investigation into how tenants are chosen for Affordable Housing. It comes after bbc research showed that many Affordable Housing schemes in london are excluding people on average salaries of around £30,000 a year because they dont earn enough. Some Housing Associations in the capital require annual incomes of between £35,000 and £60,000. Nalini sivathasan reports. When his landlord increased the rent on his shared flat in east london, 26 year old sam started looking at an Affordable Housing scheme called London Living Rent. What i got from the advert was that it was aimed at sort of low to middle income londoners. It advertised a maximum income of about 60k, which in my case was no problem at all. The rents for Affordable Housing schemes are usually capped at up to 80 of market rent levels. But applying isnt always straightforward. Sam says the advert from Housing Association l q didnt mention a minimum income. During the application process, he asked to change to another flat, which was in a better location. But he soon got a rejection email. Hi sam, your application was declined due to low income. The minimum income for a property like this would be 36k. Itjust makes me feel quite hopeless, to be honest. L q told the bbc that demand for these schemes is very high and our processes are designed to make sure that we are matching customers with the best possible home for them. It added that it works with potential customers to support them to make an informed choice when applying. The bbc has seen online adverts from a number of Housing Associations advertising Affordable Housing with minimum Income Requirements of between £35,000 to £60,000. While the regulator of Social Housing oversees most Housing Providers, it does not monitor the way people are chosen for tenancies. Labour mp clive betts, whos chair of the housing select committee, thinks that needs to change. It seems to me that if the associations are regulated and their tenancies are regulated, then how the tenancies are set up, how they advertised, should be regulated as well. The bottom line really is that for many people, housing is not affordable. We showed our findings to the mayor of londons office, which partly funds London Living Rent schemes. A spokesperson said it encourages all Housing Providers to be clear and transparent about how tenants are allocated properties. Affordable Housing Schemes are found around the country and many come with Income Requirements. But Housing Experts say the high minimum criteria seen in london is because the Rental Market is so competitive there. A Government Spokesperson told the bbc that Affordable Housing is for those on limited incomes and offers must reflect this. Nalini sivathasan, bbc news. Tens of thousands of people have been forced to flee their homes in beijing, as heavy rain and flooding continues to batter northern china. At least 20 people are known to have died as a result of storm doksuri. President xi jinping today called for every effort to rescue those who have been Lost Or Trapped by the rains. From beijing, Steve Mcdonnell sent this report. Methods from the old days of being pulled out to reach people cut off by flash floods. Boats have been the best option for emergency teams, but in places there were not enough of them. Roads have become perilous fast moving rivers, and some have not heeded warnings, trying to drive through Suburban Beijing in clearly dangerous situations. Yesterday, cars were washed away by the dozen. Its not clear how many people died in this way. Rescue workers have been stretched to the limit in a race against rising waters. Zhouzhou in neighbouring Hubei Province has been especially inundated after water was devoted there to take the pressure off the capital. But Still Beijing has had to move more than 120,000 residents to safer areas where supplies have been stockpiled for them. Translation we have prepared water, i noodles, bread and hot water to keep i people going. The government ordered people here to remain indoors and ordered employers to allow their staff to stay at home. But this city is not used to flooding like this, certainly not like this it is in the south of china. The last couple of days have been very tough. Locals have pitched in to defend their neighbourhoods. When firefighters arrive, they are helping the most vulnerable. And china can also mobilise the Peoples Liberation army at times like this. Helicopters have been crucial. Translation if we can get in and land we will. But if we cant soldiers will rappel down on the ropes and reach those that need help that way. The priority for them now is to reach communities cut off from the outside world, without water and without electricity. Stephen mcdonell, bbc news, beijing. Now a look at some other stories making the news today. Two teenage girls have died after a car crash in the repuplic of ireland. Three others are in hospital two in a critical condition. The collision happened near clones in county monaghan. The girls were travelling to a dance for teenage school leavers. Orkney has become the first location in the uk to have mail delivered by drone. The orkney I Port Operation has been launched by royal mail and drone firm skyports to distribute letters and parcels between the islands. Former ukip leader nigel farage says hes been told he can keep the accounts that his bank, coutts, was going to close. Coutts and its Parent Company natwest have been embroiled in a row with mr farage, which last week led to resignations at the top of both banks. Now, could shetland become britains answer to Cape Canaveral . Its about to become the first place in the uk with a launch pad to send rockets into space. In the next few weeks, the Civil Aviation autority is expected to approve a licence for the saxavord space centre, which used to be an raf radar station. If it gets the go ahead, the first launch from there is scheduled for october, as Laura Goodwin reports. As you might imagine, getting to the most Northern Point in the uk is a bit of a mission in itself. First up, a flight from mainland uk. Then onto one ferry and then onto another ferry, before you reach your final destination. But its remoteness is just one of the reasons unst in shetland could soon become something of a Super Highway that way. Once part of an raf radar base, the land was bought by frank strang and his wife around 15 years ago. Never in My Wildest Dreams did i think wed be building a spaceport. Its all about geography and location, location, location. And were the most northern tip of the united kingdom. So when we launch, were launching over sea. Weve got a clear trajectory into the orbits that were trying to get to and the airspace itself is very uncongested. So theres very little civilian air traffic flying overhead. So from this location here, we can get the satellites into the orbits they need to be. Also, because of our location, were two and a half kilometres away from human houses, human habitats, so its a very safe location. This is the first of three launch pads, with the site hoping to get their orbital licence in the next few weeks. Eventually, up to 30 rockets could be launched each year, carrying a number of small satellites, and thats attracted interest from Companies Across the globe. There are so many applications from space. The biggest two dimensions are connectivity and earth observation, right . We are talking lots about Climate Change and understanding of our planet, but we are not even halfway there of understanding it properly. So we really need a live data Climate Model of our planet and thats only possible with supervision and monitoring from space. That is what we need these satellites for. Less than 700 people live on unst and its hoped the spaceport might bring morejobs and more people to the island. Speaking as an islander, im just really, really keen for this project to happen. Im giving It Everything i can to ensure that this build happens and the spaceport is operational. Because, for the islanders, its sort of a lifeline. The population has gone down, and down, and down. Its halved since 1999, and we need economic and social activity on the island to ensure its viability. Unst is already a place of immense Natural Beauty and ancient heritage. This burial site was recently discovered not far from the launch pad. Few places in the world can boast bronze age and space age sitting side by side. Laura goodwin, bbc news. Time for a look at the weather. Heres stav danaos. High, good afternoon. The unsettled theme continues even though we are starting the new month of august. The rest of this week will be dominated by low pressure and will feel rather cool for the time of year as well. It has been a very wet july as we all know many of the regions saw double the normal amount of rain. Preston in north west england saw three times the normal amount of rainfall. There is more to come thanks to low pressure. That is yesterdays lo, this is tonight and tomorrows low but we are between weather systems today which is why weather systems today which is why we have seen quite a lot of dry weather. More through northern ireland, central and Southern Scotland and northern england, where we will see some spots of rain but the final scotland and central and Southern England should stay dry, quite a lot of cloud, bit of sunshine, lighterwinds quite a lot of cloud, bit of sunshine, lighter winds than yesterday, 21, 20 2 degrees otherwise. Pretty disappointing temperatures elsewhere. Pressure chart is overlaid with the graphics to show this deep area of low pressure moving on from the west overnight, wringing strong winds, heavy and may be Thundery Rain through northern england, northern island, north east, this pressure is dominated by low pressure, spreading across the country tomorrow. Every rain will give way to sunshine and heavy and in the centre of the low winds will be lighter than on the edge, we will have gales, 50 60 mph gusts in Southern England and through the channel causing some disruption. Some of the thunderstorms could be heavy through wales and into the midlands. Disappointing temperatures when factor in the showers and strength of the wind. The low pressure clears to the nuclear continent by wednesday and we have northerly winds. Sunshine and showers on thursday. Cash clears to the near continent. The cloud being dragged down on the fresh north westerly wind. The heavy showers will be towards the west of the country, some thundery,
