Like to thank my team for their loyalty and continued damages doing that dedication for supporting me and my constituents. That is the statement they are from margaret ferrier, x mp. Lets get the sport now. Hello. Were starting with football and the latest news from the womens world cup. And european champions england are through to the knock out stages they finished top of group d after a thumping 6 1 win over china. Laurenjames scored twice in the victory in adelaide this her second goal to make it 4 1 her third of the tournament so far and shes also had several assists. England as a whole havent faced a Top Ranked Team yet at this world cup, but head coach Serena Wiegman is understandly pleased with her squad. Im very delighted. What i said before the game, where going to do things a little different than we did before. And we did really well. It shows how adaptive this team is. It shows how adaptive this team is. I think they are enjoying themselves on the pitch. What we expected from china that they would press a little harder because they had to win to make a chance to go through. But they stayed in shape, i dont think they stayed in shape, i dont think they expected us to play this way. And they didnt find a solution. Denmark go through as the runners up in group d after their 2 nil win over haiti which was sealed with a 100th minute goal for Sanne Troelsgaard in perth. They also had two goals disallowed. It means haiti are out of their first world cup without a point or a goal. So this is how group d finished three out of three for england who are top. Theyll play nigeria in the next round in brisbane on monday while denmark face co hosts australia in the last 16. In group e the defending champions the usa are also into the knockout stages but onlyjust. They drew 0 0 with portugal to go through as runners up in that group. Portugal was so close. They hit the post in stoppage time and had back on and they wouldve put the most Successful Team in the tournaments and streaks out in the group stages. Heartbreak for portugal. The netherlands finished top of group evil that beating vietnam, joe root and as may scored twice for that is the biggest win of the tournament so far. And the final Group E Standings show it would have been enough for The Netherlands to go through as Group Winners on Goal Difference even if the usa had won their game. A match with the runners up from group g awaits them. From group g awaits them, thats currently italy. Sadio mane has become the latest player to join the exodus from europe to saudi arabia after just one season with the bundesliga champions bayern munich. Mane willjoin the Saudi Pro League club al nassr, joining up with Cristiano Ronaldo and marcelo brozovic. Financial details havent been released but media reports say the saudi club paid over 15 million for the mane whos 31 and had two more years left on his bayern contract. Tiger woods has agreed to join the pga tours policy board as a sixth player director. The is time major winnerjoins rory mcilroy, patrick cantlay, and webb simpson on the board. The move is part of new governance and transparency measures announced by the pga. He takes the future of the pga tour very seriously and he wanted to be in the best chance possible. And it should be in the best position possible. I think it would be very easy for someone like him, all hes donejust kind of, what i need done just kind of, what i need to do . Ive made the tour what it is, where its at financially, all sponsors, tv deals and whatever and it would be pretty easy for him to hide under a rock the rest of his life and bejust hide under a rock the rest of his life and be just fine but thats not who we is. He wants to continue to see the pga tour grow and succeed. Time for an update in the womens world netball. Australia still have a 100 record this tournament, with their latest win over malawi in cape town. The worlds top team have won four out of four despite being held at half time by malawi, 70 16 the final score. Currently in action are england theyre playing fiji. England meet australia on thrusday. Elsewhere there were wins for barbados, tonga and zimbabwe. And thats all the sport for now. Here in uk changes to Cost Of Living. First food. Theres a bit of hope for the cost of our weekly shop. Prices are still going up but not as fast. In fact, prices rising at their slowest since december. The British Retail Consortium says Food Inflation was 13. 4 last month, partly because of the falling cost of cereals, fish and oils. Our Business Correspondent emma simpson has the details. Two grapes. Grapes, grapes. Would you like the grapes . Theyre buying, but theyre also watching the pennies. At this fruit and veg stall in high wickham, they used to charge a £1 a bowl. Its £1. 50 now, although some items are coming down. Theys still customers who come along and say, really . Because they havent noticed, we actually bought some of our prices down or we try as much as possible. Like with the onions, they used to be £5, but theyre down to £4. 50. So its slowly, but they still think its quite steep. Thats because moneys tight. Its very hard. Even both of us, me and my husband working, its hard. I do feel a bit optimistic now that maybe things will ease, but they need to come down, notiust go up letsjust come down. Well, thats not likely to happen any time soon. But lets look at the bigger picture. Food inflation was on a downward trend up until two years ago, but you can see here how prices then started to creep up. And this was happening before the invasion of ukraine. It wasnt until last summer, though, when Food Inflation really started to soar, heading to record breaking levels. On this survey, the rate peaked at nearly 16 in april this year, but it has been falling ever since, down to 13. 4 forjuly, as lower costs and Supply Chains start to filter through. The brc says some products like cereals, fish and cooking oils have now fallen in price since last month. We have passed the peak of food Price Inflation now. We are still seeing price rises, but nowhere near the levels that we saw earlier in this year. And i think the trajectory that were on is downwards. The question is just how quickly . Wheat prices, for instance, are on the rise again after russia pulled out of a deal allowing the safe export of grain here in ukraine. And todays figures are unlikely to prevent another rise in Interest Rates this week. Unfortunately, the Bank Of England probably still will 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. Changes to the cost of booze too drinking will now be taxed according to how strong they are. Dan johnson reports. 0verall, taxes are going up, but by different amounts in different places. And the cost of a pint at the pub is supposed to stay level to draw more drinkers in. The general person who drinks a nice pint deserves to have a lesser spend. And they say theyre supporting the pubs . I hope it will. I hope itll encourage people to come because pubs like this need it. Do you think its a good idea . No. Why . I think theres already too much tax on wine. Youve got a choice, havent you . Dont drink or pay the money. From a health point of view, its got to be right. Does it feel like its helping you . Potentially. But at the moment, everythings going up. So obviously it might have a knock on effect later on. But at the moment, were not seeing that change at the moment. This is the biggest shake up of Alcohol Taxes in a fairfew years. And the government says this system is more sensible and fairer, too, because it says having left the eu gives it the freedom to charge different taxes here in a pub to somewhere like a supermarket. But the stronger the alcohol content, the higher the tax and spirits have seen some of the biggest increases. Around 80p a bottle. So a significant rise for sure. I think when you combine that with all the other increases in costs that weve weve seen recently, then it leaves producers in a position where most are going to have to pass that that increase on to their customers. So, yeah, itll definitely have an effect. 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 Category for your bottles and your cans. They will be going up 10. 1 and unfortunately that costs the industry some 225 million. How are you feeling about this increase, simon . Well, i think were just confused. And not everyones clear yet what their new tax bill will actually be. Were currently paying £2. 97 in tax on a bottle of wine. I think were going to be paying £3. 56, which i think is a 59p increase, not the 44 thats being bandied around. And youll have to pass that on . Well have to pass that on or absorb it. These are fragile industries and Alcohol Prices are a sensitive topic. These increases follow a three year duty freeze and they could still take time to filter through. Donjohnson, bbc news dorset. House prices in the uk have fallen by the largest annual amount since 2009, according to the Building Society nationwide down by nearly 4 . An average home now costs just over £260,000. But higher Interest Rates mean affordability is still a challenge for many people. With the details, heres our Cost Of Living correspondent, thank of living correspondent, you for coming on the programme. Thank you for coming on the programme. Lets look at this as simply as we can. House prices are falling therefore is that good news for people trying to get onto the Property Ladder . For people trying to get onto the Preperty Ladder . For people trying to get onto the Property Ladder . Well, not really at the moment Property Ladder . Well, not really at the moment because Property Ladder . Well, not really at the moment because interest Property Ladder . Well, not really at the moment because Interest Rates| the moment because Interest Rates remain so high. And actually, they more affected by the Affordability Prices is people renting privately. And of course house prices falling is irrelevant to them. Even if they were able to get out of private renting, because of Interest Rates being so high it still incredibly difficult to get on the Property Ladder. To be honest, house prices falling isnt really helping anybody at this point. It might have an impact later on but at the moment with Interest Rates as they are and rents increasing at the fastest rate that weve ever seen. The private renters say thats nearly 3 Million People are constantly struggling to pay their rent. This isnt going to make any difference to them. Mb . Pay their rent. This isnt going to make any difference to them. Why are those rents rising . Make any difference to them. Why are those rents rising . Is make any difference to them. Why are those rents rising .

Its also partly because there is such a drastic dire shortage of there are a lot of people in the private rented sector who really need social rent, not private rent. And so youve got in an enormous squeeze, particularly at the bottom end of the rental market. So youve just got demand as well which is fuelling the price of renting. Its both of those things. Of course this isnt to do with of course this isnt to do with landlords. Mortgages going up, they have to pay those mortgages. Inevitably the rent is going to go up. But the impact on homelessness is very severe now. Is very severe now. What are the kind of things is very severe now. What are the kind of things you is very severe now.

The main thing we need to see as a matter of extreme urgency| see as a matter of extreme urgency is the government do something about social housing. We have got to. There are changes in the Affordable Housing programme that can be made, changes to the definition of so called Affordable Housing, so data today shows exactly how unaffordable so called Affordable Homes are, even for people on £30,000 a year, still cant afford so called affordable rent. We really need proper decent social homes. That is the most urgent thing that needs to happen. Needs to happen. What are the chances of needs to happen. What are the chances of that needs to happen.

Even the Prince Of Wales recently spoke about how urgent this is was up and the fact that we simply. The government had declared they want to solve homelessness, that cant happen. You cant solve homelessness without homes and social homes are the only solve it. Michael gove is absolutely aware of this hes also said it many times. We do need the Prime Minister and the chancellor to get on the work on this though. And the chancellor to get on the work on this though. Thank you for cominu work on this though. Thank you for coming on the work on this though. Thank you for coming on the programme. Around the world and across the uk. This is bbc news bbc news bringing you different stories from across the uk. The blaze family are absolutely potty about teapots. Theyve spent a quarter of £1 million on the biggest collection in the uk, everything from politicians to pop culture and some wild and wacky creations. Ive got a favourite, which is a Harley Davidson teapot thats made, i saw the man make it and ill see how hard it was for him to make it. And your one is . Diana. Because diana was my favourite person. People say, why collect pots . And i always say, well, why not . Theres so many different weird and wonderful things. And once people get into the museum and they can actually see the Different Things that we do, weve got ones that are size at this sort of size, and weve got a 12 foot teapot in the garden. You never can believe the things that people can make. For more stories from across the uk. Head to the bbc news website. Youre live with bbc news. The uk could soon be able to launch its first rocket into space from a tiny island north of the scottish mainland. The land is on unst, one of the shetland islands. A husband and wife team bought the land around 15 years ago. They could be weeks away from securing a spaceport licence. 0ur correspondent Laura Goodwin has the story. 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 superhighway that way. 0nce 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 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. Lets speak to Matthew Archer director of launch at the uk space agency. Thank you for coming on the programme. This seems a remarkable story. First of all, is this going to happen, are we going to be watching rockets launched into space from this island just like we watch launches at Cape Canaveral in the us now . , ~ launches at Cape Canaveral in the us now . ,. � , launches at Cape Canaveral in the us now . ,.

Weve been able to create conditions for spaceports and also sutherland in scotland and cornwall as well. To create commercial conditions for them to be successful. There is definitely demand for them to launch and that what we see come through. A nice healthy economy that will generate jobs for Rural Communities up and down the uk.

Some European Countries are saying effectively get on board the french flights. 0ther effectively get on board the french flights. Other countries like the uk are not putting off flights, that is what we are tracking right now. We will keep you across those details from niger. Iam Lewis Vaughan jones, this is bbc news. Hello there. It looks like its going to remain unsettled for the rest of this week. Thanks to low pressure, well see showers or longer spells of rain, some windy weather in the short term and it will generally feel on the cool side for early august. Now, theres a new area of low pressure for the time of year, will continue to push across the country tonight and into tomorrow, so conditions go downhill across pretty much all areas. Heavy rain starts to spread in. The winds begin to pick up across southern and Western Areas as the centre of the low edges closer towards our shores. 0n the plus side, though, it will be quite mild and muggy across the country with temperatures in the low to mid teens celsius range. So, tomorrow, then, well see the winds picking up with gales across southern england, certainly through the channel, 50 60 mph gusts in their own right could cause some disruption, some heavy rainfall. And into the afternoon, across england and wales in the centre of the low weather, the winds will be light, well see some slow moving, heavy and thundery downpours as well. Could see temperatures reach 20 22 degrees in the warmest spots, but i think for most mid to high teens sums it up. Now, that area of low pressure starts to pull out eastwards into the north sea and the near continent, takes the heavy rain with it and we start to see a northerly wind develop across the uk. So its a little bit drier, i suppose, to start thursday, but therell be plenty of showers across southern areas. This is the pressure chart, then, for thursday. Were in a run of Northerly Winds and it will be one of sunshine and showers, and well have those pretty heavy showers from the word go across some southern parts of britain. Some sunshine around as well more cloud, though, for the northern half of scotland, showers or longer spells of rain here. Some of the heaviest of the showers through the afternoon could be across central and western parts of the uk. And those winds fairly brisk and cool, temperatures at best, ranging from around 14 20 degrees from north to south across the country. For friday, its a similar story. Weve got Northerly Winds, sunshine and showers most of the showers affecting South East Scotland Down In towards east anglia and the southeast. Again, there could be the odd thundery one mixed in there, but some better sunny spells, i think, towards the west. But again, feeling cool for the time of year. It remains unsettled into the weekend. Low pressure always nearby, showers or longer spells of rain, and again, its going to feel pretty cool for early august. See you later. Hello and welcome to the context, i am louis marvinjones, we will start by looking at the issue of Climate Change. Now when it comes to Climate Change the warnings become ever more dire and the list of records smashed grows longer almost by the day. July was hot so hot in fact that before it was even over scientists said it was virtually certain to have been the hottest month on record. That would have been all but impossible they say without human induced Climate Change. Southern europe sweltered in temperatures above a0 degrees celsius in spain, greece, italy and beyond. In the us Phoenix Arizona recorded a Record Streak of temperatures. Canada no stranger to wildfires saw four times as much land burned than in any other similar period since 1990. Thats 20 million acres scorched with smoke spreading across the border into the us. Further south in uruguay theres drought, on the banks of the river plate. Its the worst period of extreme heat and low rainfall in fact in 7a years. And in asia a different problem intense rain causing floods and landslides across several countries including india, japan and most recently china as powerful monsoons sweep across the continent. A warmer atmosphere holds more water say The Scientists and that means Global Warming makes flooding more likely
