Thanks very much. Tobias ellwood, chair of the commons defence committee, has quit. He had been under pressure for comments he made recently about the Taliban Administration in afghanistan. Hed said they had improved security in the country. Lets head straight to our Political Correspondent. Remind our viewers what the comments were. Curious that Tobias Ellwood posted to his twitter at the start of summer, where he appeared to be praising the taliban for some of the changes that have taken place in afghanistan recently. He seemed to suggest that the Security Situation had improved, he talked about there being solar panels put up. He said the opium trade had all but disappeared. That provoked a furious reaction. It was mostly from mps on the Defence Select Committee in parliament. They said these comments were unacceptable, they were bizarre. Actually facing the possibility of being removed as chair of the committee. It looked highly lightly he was going to lose, and it seems in the words of one close to the committee, he seems that he jumped before close to the committee, he seems that hejumped before he close to the committee, he seems that he jumped before he was close to the committee, he seems that hejumped before he was pushed. I was going to ask you exactly that. We described in the breaking line or two that we read out that hes quit, but had he not, he would have been forced out . I but had he not, he would have been forced out . Forced out . I think thats pretty certain. Forced out . I think thats pretty certain ive forced out . I think thats pretty certain. Ive spoken forced out . I think thats pretty certain. Ive spoken to forced out . I think thats pretty certain. Ive spoken to a forced out . I think thats pretty certain. Ive spoken to a few i forced out . I think thats pretty. Certain. Ive spoken to a few who were involved in the process, and all are pretty convinced that Tobias Ellwood was on his way out, even if he didnt take this decision himself. Weve heard from mr ellwood, who is not had a statement, but my understanding is he has told the mps on the committee that he is going to stand down. From what is a pretty important post. Viewers will probably know Tobias Ellwood is someone who often pipes up talking about the uks defensive relationship with other countries. Hes quite high profile chair. Its quite curious, because you have the profile because you are the chair of quite an Important Group in parliament, but youre not always speaking on behalf of that group. What has happened here is the several mps on that committee have become frustrated by merely at that video that mr ellwood tweeted out primarily, appearing to give some praise to the taliban, but i think frankly, they were frustrated the other things too. One mp said that the committee had become the Tobias Ellwood show, so some of them would be keen to move on. There will be a new chair of that committee elected by parliament probably in the next few weeks. ~ by parliament probably in the next few weeks. N. ,. , few weeks. Nick, thanks for the latest on that. Ukraine has launched a substantial attack on the Russian Black Sea fleet. Moscow says ukraine attacked sevastopol with ten Cruise Missiles and three unmanned boats. Russias Ministry Of Defence says it successfully intercepted much of the assault, but two ships were damaged. What do we know about the attack and how it impacts ukraines strategy on crimea . Olga malchevska has been taking a look. This photo was shared by mikhail razvozhayev, the moscow installed governor of sevastopol on his telegram channel. It shows flames engulfing what appears to be a ship in a port while he stands are speaking into his phone. In a port while he stands speaking into his phone. Razvozhayev said that this shipbuilding client was hit. Now, here is the Shipbuilding Plant in sevastopol. It is located in the city and it builds and repairs the ships for the Russian Black Sea fleet. It used to be one of the main facilities during the Soviet Union Times for the repair meant of the ships across all over the ussr. And it was annexed by russia together with crimea back in 2014. Now, while the scale of the destruction has not been confirmed yet, if there was damage, it could cause severe delays, at least to the repair meant of the russian warships. And this was not the first time the Ukrainian Army has tried to attack the Russian Military infrastructure in the annexed crimea. You can see here the bridge, the only one linking crimea to russia. It was hit by the Ukrainian Army injuly and it was the second time it was hit. The first time happened in october last year, and you can see here the blast which damaged severely, the bridge and led to one of its parts collapsing into the sea. And back in april last year, the Russian Ministry of defence admitted the loss of its Flagship Moskva named after the russian capital moscow. It used to be the symbol of the Russian Military power and was leading the Russian Military naval assault on ukraine, and became the first major russian ship to be lost. The poor Summer Weather is being blamed for the economy shrinking the Police Watchdog is to investigate how the Greater Manchester police force handled the case of andrew malkinson, who spent 17 years in prison for a rape he didnt commit. The independent office for Police Conduct will examine how officers handled complaints from mr malkinson� s legal team. Live now to our reporter in salford, yunus mulla. Across the story. Tell us more, because the failings on this case had such devastating impacts. Thats had such devastating impacts. Thats ri. Ht, had such devastating impacts. Thats right, described had such devastating impacts. Thats right, described as had such devastating impacts. Thats right, described as one had such devastating impacts. Thats right, described as one of had such devastating impacts. Thats right, described as one of the had such devastating impacts. trust� s right, described as one of the worst miscarriages ofjustice in british legal history. What the iopc are saying is that there are significant issues with gmp� s investigations into the complaints and is identified several lines of inquiry. What were looking at Arc Complaints that relate to an allegation that Greater Manchester police failed to keep evidence and also failed to reveal information about two key witnesses at the original trial. What the iopc are saying is that those complaints were not dealt with in a reasonable and proportionate matter, and will carry out further investigations. Andrew mauk and send malkinson was convicted for rape and 200a. He was released in 2020, but on licence, and kept on the Sex Offender Registry until earlier this year. When that conviction originally was quashed byjudges at the court of appeal. Dna evidence suggested the involvement of another man. What the iopc are saying is because of the level of Public Interest and also because of the concerns over the way gmp of handle this, there needs to be scrutiny, and thats what this investigation hopefully will give them. Last month, the government ordered a Public Inquiry into the circumstances surrounding the handling of Andrew Andrew malkinson� s case, saying this is not to review the original criminal investigation, and mr malkinson responded to this announcement by the iopc. Hes welcome to the new investigation, but what hes also saying is that he didnt really have any faith in the system. He said that was like allowing them to mark their own homework. Hes hoping his investigation will hold individual officers to account now. The police have been approached for comments. Yunus, thank you. When Medicinal Cannabis was legalised in 2018, the move was hailed as a breakthrough for people with illnesses such as epilepsy, chronic pain and neurological disorders. But now some patients say they are still being blocked from getting it on the nhs. More details from our Health Correspondent alastair fee. Jasper is 13 and these days is a typical teenager, but much of his young life has been spent in bed or being rushed to hospital. By the time he was 11, he was having about 800 seizures a day. About 800 seizures a day, so the expectation was one, eventually a seizure would kill him. Can ijust rearrange his hair . He has a rare form of drug resistant epilepsy. Over the years, hes tried nine different medicines. Come over here, well do your meds. Nothing has stopped his fits until now. There you go, and swallow. He takes cannabis as an oil. His parents pay for it at a private clinic. Now i can do things like go to the cinema and to my friends house. If i do have a seizure, i can recover from it. The law change means patients can take the whole plant which contains cbd and the psychoactive ingredient thc. But though its legal, in the last five years, hardly anyone has been given it on the nhs. Alfie is one of the few with an nhs prescription. Like jasper, he too has severe epilepsy. Without the cannabis, wed be in hospital in a few days with hundreds of seizures. Alfie was the first person in the uk to be given it after a high Profile Campaign led by his mother. All its done is blocked it, because all the parents now trying to get access for the children with epilepsy are blocked at every turn. One of the problems is that consultants need to apply to nhs england when they want to prescribe, but theyre almost always turned down. I did feel it was disingenuous at the time, because it shifted the heat from the government to practitioners like myself. Parents were clamouring at our door because they believe we were now in a position to prescribe, and that was not the case. The governments told us. Few understand the cost of cannabis more than jasper� s family. The bill for his latest supply came to £1,600 forjust over a month of cannabis medication. Its eating all our savings going on holiday or anything like that is out. Crippling as it is financially, we still know that were so much luckier than other parents in the same situation. The campaign for easier equal access on the nhs continues. Alastair fee, bbc news. Live now to london to join alicejones, whose son has epilepsy. Alice, welcome to bbc news.

New figures from the office for National Statistics suggest it was a difficult month for construction and retail. Its the largest monthly fall in gdp since december. Our economics correspondent andy verity explains. On the coast of cumbria, fewer tourists than normal were riding down the beach injuly, for two big reasons. One was the heavy rainfall which put off tourists who might otherwise have paid to ride these heavy horses. The other was the economic climate, where soaring prices of feed and Raw Materials have forced an estimated 15 of Riding Stables out of business. Up untilfuel went up, we could buy a big round bale of hay, probably for about £12 to £15. Last year, it was a5. Thats a massive hike when youve got big mouths to feed, and you need to feed them. Your basic feed costs of my horses over the winter went from between 3,000, 4,000, 5,000, maybe, to 12 15. And then you put straw into that equation as well, so my wintering costs last year alone were about 20 grand up. Her business, like others, is just above its level of activity before the pandemic, three and a half years later. But like otherfirms, its also had to pay much higher wages to attract and keep staff, up 15 20 . Covering those costs means higher prices, high enough to put some customers off and slow business down. After revisions to official figures, the value of goods and services we produce has bounced back above its pre pandemic level, but its no longer performing like it used to, barely growing in recent months. Over one month in the services sector, which makes up four fifths of the economy, activity dropped by 0. 5 , partly because of industrial action in the health sector, as senior Doctorsjoined Radiographers and Junior Doctors on strike for more pay. From one perspective, a slowing economy could be seen as a success for the Bank Of England. The whole point of raising Interest Rates 1a times in a row is to make it more expensive for households and firms to borrow and spend as much, and that should mean reduced spending, therefore less upward pressure on prices. But other economists say the effect of those Interest Rate rises is only now starting to be felt and they may have already gone too far. I think in coming quarters, we are going to see a mild recession in the uk. I think you can see some signs of deterioration in the data already for example, in Business Survey figures. But i think this will largely reflect the lagged effects of Bank Of England rate hikes, higher Interest Rates and tighter bank lending conditions. The Bank Of England is widely expected to raise Interest Rates again next week on the theory that it still needs to cool down an overheated economy. But with unemployment up and more households falling behind on their mortgages, the economic tide may already be starting to recede. Andy verity, bbc news. The government is being warned there is a significant threat of disruption to the next General Election because of the new requirement that everyone has voter id. The Elections Minister said, she is confident in the ability of local authorities to roll out voter id nationwide, but both the Electoral Commission and local government staff responsible for polling, are calling for changes. Heres our Political Correspondent damian grammaticas. Last years elections in england were the first outside Northern Ireland where voter id was a necessity. Were not allowed to film inside polling stations, so this scene was set up by the Electoral Commission to show the changes in action. Do you have your id on you . Yes. A Driving Licence or other approved id required to vote in person. The Electoral Commission estimates that at least 1a,000 individuals couldnt cast a ballot because of this. 199. Most who wanted to vote were able to, but some were unaware they needed id, some dont possess the right type. And disproportionately affected were disabled, unemployed or younger people, and those from ethnic minorities. Many didnt know you can get a special voter certificate, but had to apply a week or more before polling day. The local Government Information Unit is now warning of serious disruption to the next General Election. Election administrators worry they lack the staff to cope with the National Roll out of voter id. And the Election Commission says the government must act because it says there is a significant threat to future elections. Among its recommendations. Among its recommendations more types of id could be accepted, voter certificates should be easier to get up to just before polling day and someone should be able to vouch for you on the day if you dont have id. The government says it will consider the recommendations and look at areas for improvement. It says its confident local authorities can implement voter id, which it believes will help stamp out what it calls the potential for voter fraud. The Liberal Democrats say that is a nonexistent problem, and the id laws must be scrapped. Labour says the government must recognise the potential for wider damage to democracy if they fail to make the changes to the system. Damian grammaticas, bbc news. Thats it. Thanks for watching.
