serbia. it s been quite cagey so far, but goalless at the moment. these are live pictures from serbia. scotland are ranked 11 places above them. that was a one all drawl, but whatever happens, rachel corsi, has her150th whatever happens, rachel corsi, has her 150th cap today. the lionesses kick off their match against sweden this evening in england may be the holders and ranked number two in the world. they are in such a tough group with two of the world s best sides. the other team is the republic of ireland. two from each group qualify automatically. we want to obviously qualify group qualify automatically. we want to obviously qualify for group qualify automatically. we want to obviously qualify for the group qualify automatically. we want to obviously qualify for the euros - to obviously qualify for the euros and that s the goal, but i think the long goal would be to win the tournament. but that would be a special part of history, to be a team that could potentially
the idf knew exactly who they were and where they were and they were targeted as they were leaving, after they dropped the food aid at a known humanitarian warehouse. they were chased down, in a sense, after the first vehicle was hit. people fled from that vehicle and they were targeted again. the idf continued firing on trucks that were clearly marked with the bright logo of the world central kitchen. they continued firing until all aid workers were dead. israel claims it was a tragic accident and i think there needs to be an independent investigation. if it is a tragic accident, as they claim, then i think the idf is inept and incompetent and i think israel owes the families and the world an explanation. do you accept that explanation they have given so far that they say, that it was a mistake? i think that is a joke. they say it to protect themself. but, i mean, you know, i think it was meant. they wanted to do it, in a way that they want to keep on starving refugees out t
than seven million people struggle with the written word and most keep it a secret. one of the worst affected areas for illiteracy is the north east of england. for years, a former teacher has wanted to help. ah for. apple. ah.. ah for apple. but then kerry clegg saw this. it was a documentary about jay blades from the repair shop, who was learning to read. this is going to be my first attempt to learn since school. i contacted them and said we ve got a great need up here. how do you spell tree? t. where s r? r. 0k. that s it. and then e. but e starts down there. two years later and kerry s finally brought that charity to the north east, where volunteers teach adults to read. a teacher for 20 years, kerry knew how big the problem was across the north east of adults who couldn t read and she wanted to change that. it s about 16.4% of adults can t read. sadly, in the north east, that s even higher at 17%. that s about one in six adults who are reading at a below primary school
to early for speculation. earlier i put that to victoria scholar is head of investment at interactive investor. the uk money markets, they are anticipating rate cuts next year but not untiljune, that is when the first rate cut is pencilled in. that was actually pushed back after today s decision, from the previous estimation that the bank of england would cut rates in may. financial markets are pricing in a one percentage point move of rate cuts in 2024, that would get down to 4.25% from where it is now. but the governor was a lot more cautious than the markets, he says the markets have their own view and he thinks it is too early to speculate about rate cuts. clearly, he s been about rate cuts. clearly, he s been a lot more dependent on the data. i think this main takeaway is that the bank of england is being more cautious in its outlook than the fed. it cautious in its outlook than the fed. , , . fed. it is interesting that the lan . ua . e fed. it is interesting that the l
confirmation that israel has actually got the hostages yet, but the choreography well under way. let us talk to our correspondent there. we just heard helicopters flying near the air base, we are not sure if they are the ones who are going to take the hostages back to israel, but there is a great sense of anticipation here in this air base, we have been waiting for any news about the hostages coming, it was believed before that they were coming by helicopter, through the rafah crossing, and then we were told they were coming by bus from border crossing, between israel and gaza. once they arrive here, they will be looked after being a huge operation that was organised by the israeli army, they said they have made everything possible to make this first delivery, or this first batch of hostages, the delivery, to go as good as possible, because there is a great pressure within israel, the families have been desperate to see any, to hear any good news about their loved ones, and a
