India is now suspending visas for canadians and says that canada can expect the number of diplomats in the country to be reduced. A notice on the visa Application Portal said it was due to operational reasons and the situation would continue until further notice. There� s been no comment from the Indian Foreign ministry. There are calls for an independent homeland for sids in india� s Northern State of punjab. Sikhs are a minority in the rest of india. They have been calls for an independent state to be formed there for quite some time with the movement reaching its peak in the 19805 movement reaching its peak in the 1980s when the area experienced a series of Violent Attacks and thousands of deaths. Despite there being little support for the movement in india today, supporters in the Sikh Diaspora have continued to advocate for a separate state with calls intensifying in recent years. Live now to our correspondent Archana Shukla in mumbai. It seems to be getting worse, the relationship between india and canada, by the hour, but can you take us through the latest measures that have been taken . India take us through the latest measures that have been taken . Take us through the latest measures that have been taken . India has said that have been taken . India has said that they are that have been taken . India has said that they are citing that have been taken . India has said that they are citing reasons that have been taken . India has said that they are citing reasons of that they are citing reasons of Security Threat to indian high commissions and consulates in canada as the reason why they are suspending Visas Services in canada, saying the normal functioning suspending Visas Services in canada, saying the normalfunctioning of indian high commissions has been affected because of this threat and they have said that there is an inaction from the canadian government to deal with these security and that is the reason for these services to be suspended. This is coming just one day after Indian Government issued an advisory to its citizens in canada, asking them, advising them to take utmost caution against what they called politically condoned hate crimes. They have also said that travel to india for canadians who already have valid visa documents, that will not be a problem and they can make their travel to india as slated. On its five, the Canadian High Commission has said that even they have received Security Threats, some of the diplomats have received Security Threats on social media and they are also assessing their staff positions and staff presence in india temporarily. Matters have escalated quickly since last week, when the canadian Prime Minister made a statement linking indian agents to the killing of canadian sikh separatist leader injune. Both countries have suspended a diplomat each over the case that white what is the rhetoric like around this story in the media and online at the moment . There are questions being raised on how this matter is going to go from here on. Matters have escalated quickly. There is support for certain groups on social media, and this we have seen not only now but this has been happening over the last few years because the Sikh Separatist Movement has largely been a reason of india canada dispute in the last few years, and we have seen two groups advocating on each side and that is what we are seeing even right now. There is some anxiety also amongst families of indians living in canada right now after india issued this security advisory. A lot of indian migrants have increased, increasingly going to canada. It has almost tripled in the last ten years. There are Indian Students who are increasingly looking at canadian universities. More than 300,000 went to canadian universities injust more than 300,000 went to canadian universities in just 2022 and there is some anxiety among the families, especially after the Security Concerns have been raised by the Indian Government. There are also questions raised on the trade deal between the two countries. October, this month, halted trade talks with india and this was a matter that was sternly a fight and Renderjustin Trudeau during the g20 summits, as well it was raised. The reason of the Sikh Separatist Movement has been a reason for the dispute in the past, as well, and there seems to be growing tension between the two countries now. Growing tension between the two countries now. Archana, thank you. We will take countries now. Archana, thank you. We will take you countries now. Archana, thank you.

We have been closely following not only the un general said they but also president zelensky� s visit to the us. He is really trying to garner more support and military aid from the americans. We have these pictures here as he arrives in the us congress to face what it is fair to say will be some republican scepticism on providing more aid to ukraine. This is his second visit since the war started but he is really saying he needs more military aid from the us to bolster the counteroffensive taking place in ukraine at the moment. We will bring you more from washington very shortly. The uk� s prime and has defended changes to some of his key environment policies, including delaying the ban on the sale of new petrol and diesel cars by 5 years, to 2035. Rishi sunak said he wanted to achieve the government� s climate target in an honest and transparent way that � eases the burden on households� , and insisted he wasn� t slowing efforts to combat Climate Change.

Is the Prime Minister giving the uk on track to hit its Climate Change target or risking us missing them . The adoption of new technologies is happening far faster than we thought. Electric vehicles being another good example. When you put all of that together, run the numbers as we have, we are confident we are on track to deliver net zero and we can do it now in a more proportionate and pragmatic way. That is how we will bring people with us, maintain consent for it and minimise cost for working families that could have spiralled into the thousands of pounds. I don� t think Thatis Thousands of pounds. I don� t think that is right. After 2035 any new vehicle will have to be electric, not diesel or petrol. He has relaxed dates when anyone replacing an old boiler would have to use new technology, while landlords will not have to improve the Energy Performance of rented properties.

Mr sunak may be hoping to tap into that vein. At this thing action is needed on Climate Change so it is a risky change of tack. Interest rates have been kept on hold, for the first time in nearly two years. They will remain at 5. 25 . It brings to an end ia consecutive rises which began in late 2021, designed to curb inflation. Today� s decision by the Bank Of England follows the unexpected slight fall in inflation yesterday. The governor of the bank said he expects that trend to continue but cautioned that he� s watching to see whether further rises may be needed in the future. With all the details, here� s our economics correspondent andrew verity. At this shared workspace in brixton in south london, what higher Interest Rates mean for young people like paige is fewer landlords entering the Rental Market and more selling up, as their Mortgage Costs jump and rents rise rapidly. After her landlord sold, she� s given up finding a decent home to rent and moved back in with her parents. With the competition out there and what you get for your money in london, it just wasn� t worth it. You would see a Shoe Box Room or a double mattress literally in a room with no floor space for upwards of, like, £800. Gerald, who runs the workspace, is also a landlord who said he had more than 80 applicants when he tried to let out a local flat for £1,500 a month. The trouble for him was the Mortgage Payment had jumped in the past few years from around £550 a month to more than £2,000. The only way to raise the rent by that much is to let it out on airbnb. It is a shame that we lose a property on the market that could be serving our local Housing Needs and now having to offer it to foreigners here on holiday. Today the Bank Of England decided to hold its official Interest Rate the first time it� s done that since 2021, after ia hikes in a row. What has changed the picture for the Bank Of England is the figures this week show the Cost Of Living was rising a bit more slowly than expected, which has led a majority on the Bank Of England� s Monetary Policy committee to decide to keep rates on hold. They are hoping that the rate rises they have already made will bring inflation back down to 2 over the next two years. But it is only now that the full impact of Interest Rate rises that began in December 2021 are starting to hit the real economy. With lenders saying house prices are now falling more sharply than they have since 2009, new residential developments like this one have seen far fewer reservations. This company had hoped to build and sell 50 homes, but they will only do 20 this year. Even though inquiries are coming in at high levels every week, reservations have been very, very slow and impacted massively. Whilst there is some reservations on this site, those who are wanting to reserve have still got their own properties to sell and they are really struggling to sell them. In the housing market, the number of people falling behind on Mortgage Payments is up by more than a quarter. With 800,000 borrowers coming off cheap fixed Rate Mortgage deals in the rest of this year, that is likely to get worse. From now on, the Bank Of England is likely to continue to be cautious about raising Interest Rates further. Andy verity, bbc news. It is not the only Interest Rate decision we saw today. In turkey we had a rate announcement. They have lifted it by 5 , up to 30 now. An increase of 5 to 30 . Turkey, you will know, is fighting double digit inflation at the moment but the numbers from there are staggering to put some things into context, last week the European Central bank raised its key rate, as well, for tenth consecutive time to 4 and they are now expected to remain steady.

The Polish Government says it is still carrying out previously agreed deliveries of weapons and ammunition to ukraine. The statement was issued a day after the Prime Minister said his country was no longer supplying arms to its neighbour. In a televised address the Prime Ministers that we are no longer transferring weapons to ukraine because we are now arming poland with more weapons. It marks another step in the worsening relationship tween the countries. Poland, with slovakia and hungary have banned you are imports of ukrainian rain. This has prompted president zelensky to complain that some countries are only pretending to support ukraine in the waragainst only pretending to support ukraine in the war against russia. Accused a series of night time strikes, in major cities including kyiv. You can see there was also a tax in the city of kherson. Targeting structure and also hitting residential areas. Adam easton is on the ground, and James Waterhouse is in kyiv. Poland at the moment is no longer sending any weapons to ukraine. That may be perfectly true because poland doesn� t have any more weapons to centre ukraine, it has already sent all its reserves, more than 300 soviet era tanks, more than a dozen mig fighterjets. It has depleted its Military Capability by one third so the focus is on replacing the stocks it has already sent to ukraine. This does not mean a great shift, i don� t think, in poland� s policy towards ukraine in terms of supporting it militarily. The hub for International Humanitarian and military aid in south eastern poland remains active and aid is going through there. But in future, poland has a large contract with ukraine to supply more than 50 howitzers to ukraine and that contract is being fulfilled. Armaments will be flowing from poland to ukraine in the future, as well. Future, as well. This book diplomatic future, as well. This book diplomatic row future, as well.

The very i notion of Poland Winding back on its supply of lethal aid to ukraine is a serious one for the country but i think it is certainly being mirrored this side in terms of there being a more conciliatory tone. We are told that ministers have agreed a Licensing System in slovakia, for example, another country and banning ukrainian imports, where Hopefully Grain can be delivered once more by ukraine. That sets a precedent. It seems. If you look at some of the statements coming up, it seems poland and ukraine are keen to work this through. But it is hard to understate how surprising it is, really, given how poland has been one of the most loyal allies, supporters of ukraine since the full scale invasion. These are neighbouring countries with deep historical ties, neighbouring countries with deep historicalties, not neighbouring countries with deep historical ties, not least in how they interact with russian influence. There is history here. So to see this diplomatic fallout is surprising. But it seems there could be politics at play, as well, because it seems they could be a deal thrashed out. In the words of one opposition mp here in kyiv, he said, can we wait until after the war before it we have a big political row with poland where you might think that reflects sentiment among commentators certainly do wonder whether this is the best to fight for kyiv to be picking at the moment. ~. , ~. , moment. While we are talking about ukraines allies moment. While we are talking about ukraines allies lets moment. While we are talking about ukraines allies lets look moment. While we are talking about ukraines allies lets look beyond ukraine� s allies let� s look beyond europe to the us, where president zelensky is today. How important is it for him to continue to try to Shore Up Support from the us at the moment . I Shore Up Support from the us at the moment . , � ~ , Shore Up Support from the us at the moment . , � ~ ,. , moment . I dont think it gets any more important moment . I dont think it gets any more important than moment . I dont think it gets any more important than a moment . I dont think it gets any more important than a political i more important than a political visit to the us because it is america that leads the way when it comes to western support. It is america that other western allies look to for political cover when it comes to supplying tanks were fighterjets, for example, and it is america which spends the most by quite a lot. Billions of dollars are continuing to be pledged. For america it is still only a fraction of its overall Military Capability, but ukraine relies on the us to lead the way. And president zelensky will be all too aware of the president ial election next year. He will be all too aware of the political fatigue, the scepticism around the us continuing to come in their words, write blank checks when it comes to military help. And what we see from ukraine� s president is adopting a strategy of trying to win over those who have been on the fence at best so far. He is not appealing to existing support is as much. We saw it in the United NationsGeneral Assembly this week. He is trying to reach there was deep at corners where there is more increased scepticism and what he will be trying to illustrate his progress on the battlefield. Now, while it is limited, in the eyes of ukraine it is still progress. So i think you can expect him to illustrate that, you can expect him to reiterate his calls for more ammunition, and there is the f 16 fighterjets which he has not let up on. We are seeing the titan, we don� t expect it them to be used in ukraine this year but president zelensky i think will be looking to appealfor president zelensky i think will be looking to appeal for more.

A little less windy for the majority today, but on the whole, the weather still rather unsettled. We� ve got further showers to come in fact, we� ve already had rumbles of thunder and flashes of lightning. This, of course, the overnight rain across southern and eastern areas that gave a good 30 to a0 millimetres for most. More rain today for the north, and these lumps of cloud are those intense showers that have been pushing their way or developing further north and east with time. They won� t be for all, but when they do occur, there will be some lively downpours, as i� ve already mentioned. A wetter afternoon, as well, across Northern Ireland into the evening rush, for southern parts of scotland, and some showers developing towards the late evening across southern and eastern areas. And it is a fresher feeling day out there, but still 18s in southern and eastern areas. As i mentioned, though, some heavier showers potentially pushing back into Eastern Parts of england. The rain further north pushing southwards and fragmenting. But the big Talking Point about tonight is it will feel fresher notably so across southern and eastern areas. Quite a chilly start to our friday morning. And that chill accentuated by this brisk northerly wind, or northwesterly, blowing across scotland, Northern Ireland and down across england and wales particularly around the irish sea coast, pushing those showers southward. So it� s another day of sunny spells and scattered heavy showers. As i say, that wind coming down from the north or northwest a fairly brisk affair which will make it feel a little cooler still cooler than the 15 to 18 would suggest in the south. But with some shelter from that breeze, with some sunshine, still a very pleasant 15 to 18 for almost late september. Then, as we head through friday night into saturday, there� s a brief ridge of High Pressure before the atlantic weather systems return. That means it will be a chilly start on saturday morning could be close to freezing in the glens of scotland. One or two patches of mist but i think for the most part, a decent day. The cloud does tend to pile in through the day and you can see for Northern Ireland it turns wetter towards the evening. But actually with the lighter winds further east, and some sunshine, 15 or 16 feeling quite pleasant. But as we go into sunday, our next atlantic low rolls in in here, some tropical moisture from the remains of hurricane nigel, which means, again, there could be some really quite wet weather particularly in the west and the north and some strong winds, but with it some warmer air, as well. But it� s a generally unsettled picture into next week, as well. There� s more online. After 1a rate hikes, the Bank Of England leaves Interest Rates unchanged, with some analysts claiming they may have peaked. Staying with Interest Rates, turkey� s key Interest Rate rises to 30 as pressures on its economy continue to bite. Welcome to World Business report, i� m samantha simmonds.
