england tries to curb inflation. rates have risen four times since december, and are now up from 0.75% to i%. inflation, the rate at which prices increase is expected to hit more than 10% by the end of the year, the highest level since the early 1980s. rising fuel, energy and food costs, partly the result of the war in ukraine, are to blame. and as if all that wasn't bad enough, the economy predicted to grow next year by more than i% is now expected to shrink by 0.25%, amid warnings of a real risk of recession. with more details, here's our economics editor, faisal islam. butter seems to be the biggest price impact. in nottingham, at this deli, they don't need a bank of england forecast to tell them that inflation is surging in a way we haven't seen in a generation. as much as you try to stop handing on the price rises, that's gone now. they're going up. there's nothing we can do. we have to cut our cloth according to our means, and that's it. we just have to deal with it. 0c energy prices as well as raw materials costs are contributing to the bank of england now predicting even faster rises in prices, with the headline rate of inflation forecast to hit over 10% by the end of the year. cook as a result, the bank's predictions for the economy are being slashed over the next two years, with the economy forecast to shrink next year. outside, the city centre is a tale of two types of vacancy sign — jobs vacancies showing a strong employment market, but vacant commercial property showing an economy yet to fully recover from pandemic lockdowns now facing another black cloud. i'm going to give it this year to see if it picks up. if not... you're going to give up? well, i've got to think twice. i can't keep living on my savings. what's starting to become clear in the data is the cost of living squeeze, those rising prices impacting upon disposable income, click that's starting to have its own impact on the economy generally, with some fearing the economy is starting to shrink. and that word recession is starting to rear its head. it seems to be a combination of recession—style situation with very high inflation, what they used to call stagflation, appearing this year. it seems to be a combination of recession—style situation with very high inflation, what they used to call stagflation, appearing this year. yes, we are in a very difficult position at the moment, and i've used this analogy quite a bit, and i'll use it again. so there's a bit of a jump there, and a huge jump in the gas... a few miles away in long eaton, jay has just had the news about a £1600 a year increase in energy bills for the three—bedroom semi his family own. direct debits already increasing by phenomenal amounts. you have to make adjustments. obviously we'd like to do more events and holidays and whatnot, but we're having to rein it in. and, like millions of households, cloth is having to be cut according to these circumstances. we're not using the tumble dryer because itjust canes the electricity. you've stopped using the tumble dryer? yeah, absolutely. i mean, obviously, we've not had it too bad with the weather, so we have been able to dry outside, and we do that as often as we can. it's making sure we are turning things off, even the tv from standby. they're small amounts but over the year it adds up. and yet the answer to the inflation seen on energy metres is a further squeeze on household mortgage costs, with the bank of england raising interest rates to i%, the highest level since 2009. rates up, even as it warns of recession, as the bank walks the trickiest of tightropes. to be clear, faisal, the outlook is grim, notjust this year but into next year as well, with every body wanting to know when good all descend? , . , ., descend? yes, and it is almost the next leu descend? yes, and it is almost the next leg of — descend? yes, and it is almost the next leg of these _ descend? yes, and it is almost the next leg of these problems - descend? yes, and it is almost the next leg of these problems we - descend? yes, and it is almost the next leg of these problems we are | next leg of these problems we are seeing. —— when could all of this end? the impact of this upon disposable income, what people have in their back pockets, is now beginning to rebound back on the economy and because that the bank of england is still raising interest rates, which is interesting because of the cost of living crisis they are squeezing the cost of living even more. the reason for that, the bank of england governor andrew bailey told me, they can't do much about inflation hitting that 10% mark this year but what they want to stop as people and businesses are shunning in the prices and wages that they ask for or accept that it will also be 10% next year and the rafter because then you get inflation creating its own dynamic the stock that is what they are trying to avoid and that is why some of the bank of england monetary policy committee voted for an even bigger rise of 0.5%, so a difficult balancing act notjust for households but also for the bank of england, and this will define all sorts of decisions made, notjust by the bank of england but also in politics. the bank of england but also in olitics. . the bank of england but also in mums. ., ., , the bank of england but also in olitics. . ., , .,

the energy giant shell has announced record profits of more than £7 billion for the first quarter of this year. that's nearly three times the figure for the same period in 2021, as the cost of energy has skyrocketed. our business editor simon jack has that story. the same energy prices squeezing the economy are inflating profits at europe's biggest energy company. although shell had to write off the value of its russian assets, it has never made more cash in its long history than it did in the first three months of this year. shell made underlying profits of £7.2 billion in the first three months of this year alone. that's triple the amount they made in the same period last year. how come? well, the global price of oil, already high at the end of last year as the world economy emerged from its covid slumber, surged again on concerns the conflict in ukraine could see russian oil supplies disrupted or boycotted. similar story for gas — the price smashed records earlier this year. remember, russia is the world's biggest exporter of gas and europe is its biggest customer. those global prices have been reflected on uk forecourts and in uk energy bills. so what is shell going to do with all that money? well, in the first three months of the year, it gave over £4 billion to its shareholders, which, remember, includes millions of uk pension savers. it's also promised to invest up to £25 billion in the uk over the next decade, mainly on renewables and low carbon technology, but some new oil and gas to help improve the uk's future energy security. investment commitments like shell's and those made by rival bp this week are the main reason the government gives for resisting opposition party calls for a windfall tax on oil and gas profits to help tackle the cost of living crisis. simon jack, bbc news. the polls have just closed, with millions of people having voted across the uk. in england, elections are being held for 146 councils, mainly in towns and cities. there are also some mayoral races. in scotland, all 32 local authorities are being contested, while all seats in 22 local councils across wales are up for election. in northern ireland, voters will elect all of the 90 members of the assembly at stormont. we'll be hearing from our correspondents across the uk, and in a moment from laura kuenssberg, but first, let's go to emma vardy, who's in belfast.

whole. that is because unionism has dominated here for a century now, and this election will tell us whether we have reached a significant tipping point. the big question, can a nationalist party for the first time become the largest party in the northern ireland assembly? if sinn fein are able to beat their bitter rivals that rivals the democratic unionist party that will be a very significant result indeed and that was the outcome thess were indicating in the run—up to the selection but of course it is very hard to predict things here and the final result may be much closer than the poll clinic have been indicating. sinn fein of course either party whose ultimate aim is for northern ireland to leave the uk and become a united ireland. the democratic unionist eye that staunchly british party who aim to defend northern ireland's place within the union —— the democratic unionist party eye that staunchly british party. losing the election would be a hammer blow for the dup. the votes are not yet counted tonight so we are in suspense for a little longer and they will be counted at the titanic centre in belfast tomorrow morning. there could be months of negotiations in the aftermath

and sir keir starmer. yes, the first piece of the jigsaw, the council elections in england. councils spend billions of pounds and people have very strong views about the kind of services they get, whether the quality of care for the elderly on how often their pins are picked up but the reason the main political parties will be poring over every square inch of the map is because these contests will give us a real imperfect and incomplete picture of where we are out in the big tussle between the big westminster parties, between the two parties who would actually get the keys to number ten at the next general election. labour has been hard in thes the night without the tory turmoil, but can be sure tonight voters would really give them the confidence to make make inroads, notjust in big cities and london, but in towns across the country where frankly they have to show they can win if they have a hope of forming a government this time. the lib dems feel relatively chipper about being able to show some steps forward, that they could be on a journey back to becoming a realforce again, but be on a journey back to becoming a real force again, but there will be a huge focus on the governing party, the conservatives, and these results will give a real indication, from real voters, not focus groups polls, about how much damage has been done to the reputation of borisjohnson after months of the allegations about parties and rule breaking in downing street and those police fines, but also do voters think the government has a really convincing answer to what we are learning day by day is really serious pressure on families and friends and people pass my ability to make ends meet? the tories are expecting a bit of a kicking in london and parts of the south—east but hopeful their vote might be a bit more sticky in other parts of the country. in the local election we have to look really carefully at the geography and also at turnout. lots of different people have said to me today turnout may be very, very low. so it is not a complete picture like a general election but this is a contest of consequence, especially, though, as we were hearing from emma, from what could come to pass in northern ireland. like mike many thanks, laura kuenssberg there. and there's full coverage of the results here on bbc one from 11.40 tonight with huw edwards, and more across bbc news tomorrow and through the weekend. vladimir putin has called on ukrainian troops holed up in a steel works in the southern port of mariupol to surrender. it's the last stronghold of ukrainian resistance in the city, and around 200 civilians are thought to be sheltering in its underground tunnels and bunkers. the commander leading the ukrainian troops inside says "difficult, bloody battles" are being fought. meanwhile russia has been bombing other cities in the region, as it tries to secure more territory in the east of the country. this report from our eastern europe correspondent, sarah rainsford, contains flashing images from the start. explosion. they struck in the dead of night. and here's what they hit. the air raid sirens still wailing as daylight revealed the destruction. my house. russia talks about its precision missiles and military targets. it never admits to any of this, but every day more lives in ukraine are shattered. woman sobs. this is kramatorsk, in the east. ludmilla says a wall collapsed. she was buried in rubble in her own bed. hours earlier, several hundred people were brought to safety from mariupol. the un says another convoy is now on its way to the port city hoping to rescue others from the azov steelworks. that's where ukrainian fighters are refusing to surrender. they've posted these pictures. moscow had said they would cease fire today. ukraine says children are among those trapped here. one of the commanders has made a new call for help to evacuate the civilians as well as wounded and dead soldiers. ukrainians are following their fate closely, especially in places like bucha, which survived its own nightmare. russia's war on ukraine has destroyed businesses. it's ruined houses and it has wrecked lives, and here in bucha even a month after the russian troops were forced back, people's horror stories of life under occupation are still spilling out. there were queues for food at the local scout hut because many lost everything in this war. gallina tells me russian soldiers stole all her savings, even her granddaughter�*s jewellery, while the family cowered in fear in their vegetable cellar. in moscow, russian troops are rehearsing their annual proud parade. all this to mark soviet victory in world war ii. whilst in ukraine their shells are hitting playgrounds and apartment blocks. sarah rainsford, bbc news, kyiv. as russia intensifies its attacks in eastern ukraine, many thousands of people are trapped in horrifying conditions. our correspondent andrew harding reports on the volunteers, among them a maths teacher from the uk, who've been trying to rescue people, putting themselves at huge risk. they sit in stunned silence on the school bus thatjust rescued them from hell. still weary with terror. two other buses with them didn't make it back. "it was so scary," is all she can manage to say. thousands here are running the russian gauntlet, trying to escape from the kremlin's new offensive in eastern ukraine. explosion. but imagine escaping this, and then going back in again and again. that's what a group of remarkable volunteers are doing here in the donbas, including the man who filmed this — a british maths teacher, guy osborn, who came out last month to lend a hand. we've been going quite close to the front and evacuating quite a lot of bedridden people, a couple of blind people, people with zimmer frames. it's quite a risk you're taking. i'm quite scared most of the time. explosions. who wouldn't be? this footage was filmed by the driver of another school bus, one of the two that went missing. mikhail pankov is a local history teacher. last friday, he left for a rescue mission and never came back. then, a surprise announcement on russian television. mikhail has been captured alive. then another surprise. while we're speaking to his wife, yulia, her phone rings. it's her husband — still held captive, but calling with important news. "he spoke about a prisoner exchange," she says. "my husband said the russians might swap him for prisoners "held by our government. soon, i hope. "so maybe everything will work out." perhaps it will. but for others still trapped in the town of popasna, no help at hand. this is as close as we can get to the town right now. you can hear the boom of artillery in the distance and some shells landing the other side of this field. we've been told all rescue efforts have now been suspended because of the danger, but that still leaves something like 2,000 civilians trapped in this town, and, we're told, many more civilians caught in other front—line towns. all evidence of a slow, grinding conflict with no end in sight. andrew harding, bbc news, in eastern ukraine. the convenience store chain mccoll�*s is on the brink of collapse, putting 16,000 jobs at risk. our business correspondent emma simpson is outside one of their stores in

thriving especially during the pandemic, but mccoll�*s has struggled for a while. covid exacerbating supply chain issues. for instance, it's been struggling to get stock. in a statement tonight, mccoll�*s said without any extra funding in the short term it was increasingly likely the company would be placed in administration. they could start this process as early as tomorrow, i'm told, but talks are... sound problems. one part of the business that has been performing well as its its partnership with morrisons, it has 200 morrisons daily convenience stores. morrisons is thought to want
