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.

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.

Well, i think they are better than they chances of that happening . Well, i l think they are better than they have been. So weve got more people speaking out on this issue than ever before. 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.
