after a 100 million euro deal was agreed by the clubs. the transfer should be done before the new german domestic season, which starts next week. and another potential huge move is on the cards. liverpool have agreed a british record transfer for moises caicedo from brighton for £111 million. caicedo�*s been on the radar of several premier league sides for the last few months after a standout season for brighton, who had already rejected a series of bids from chelsea. the ecuadorian midfielder is now free to go for a medical. i have confirmed that the deal with the club is agreed. whatever that means exactly in the end. those who want to play it, we are in any kind of agreement, we will see that. we as a club which is right to make sure that for us we get with our resources, with the money we have, we get the best possible team together. the first of the women's world cup quarterfinals have guaranteed that the winner this year will do so for the first time. spain and sweden are into the last four, both winning 2—1, as patrick gearey reports. spain have come a long way. just last winter, a different squad were in near mutiny, but revelation has come from the revolution. the team in form, but also in luck. var spotted dutch woman stephanie pendergrass handball in the box penalty. spain ahead less than ten minutes left. what must�*ve been in her mind? this is her 106th cap. this will be herfinal world cup. she wasn't going to end it like that. commentator: she scores! it's 1-1. spain strike in extra time! this the kind of scales spain could have dreamt of, but sweden had knocked out mighty america, and they know football is about opportunism. it got better for the swedes after the break. a penalty. a path back forjapan, but theycouldn�*t take it. still, they kept pushing, and in the final minutes, hayashi offered them a flicker of hope, but time was running away. the last former champions are out. thanks to sweden, there will be a new name on the women's world cup. american ally ewing had quite a day at the women's open. she began today leading on li—under par, but after a superb round of 66, ewing soared to 10—under par. england's charley hull has kept the home crowd happy with some brilliant putting, including this birdie on the 15th. she's tied for second on 5—under with american andrea lee and minami katsu ofjapan. and that's all the sport for now. thank you very much, sarah. we will stick with sports. saudi arabia's football league has kicked off its new season in the last few hours with multi—million—pound signings from around the world, including cristiano ronaldo, jordan henderson and marcelo brozovic. as you can see here, the numbers are staggering. many of the league's new signings are earning hundreds of thousands of pounds a week, but it's come with controversy. critics say saudi arabia is using football to distract from its human rights record. joining me now is the sportswriter and author carrie dunn and toby miller, professor at the universidad complutense de madrid. he has extensively researched the human rights angle of where the game is played. we will come to that in a moment. but first of all, just with these big names, are you surprised so many top players have signed? i’m big names, are you surprised so many top players have signed?— top players have signed? i'm not surrised top

now, but potentially there could be in the future. i think there is a lot of nostalgic value attached to some of the big names. yes, they might be past the prime but i think people will still want to watch them if that was on offer. so i think the water broadcast deal will certainly be the next step that the league organisers will be looking into. brute organisers will be looking into. we saw the

time in saudi arabia and you have essentially covered women's football. what do you think the rise are the big names going to probably will mean for the women's game? interesting question with a women's game completely absent from this debate because itjust does not overlap at the moment. one would hope that investment in football per se would then have a trickle—down effect to grassroots to have an impact on women's game and i would like to see that happen and have something good come out of something that i think is probably not great. but i'm not convinced we will actually see it

this house on the a6 has been completely transformed. now depicting a kingfisher, magnolia and a mill wheel, the design gives a nod to the town's industrial heritage, with owner steph walsh hoping the mural will brighten up belper. i think it will really, you know, give people a sense of awe and wonder and inspiration as they drive through town. the artist behind the mural is sarah yates of fauna graphic, who painted the peregrines on the museum of making in derby. it will encourage perhaps other artist to work on, you know, larger scales and be a bit more expressive within the community on this type of level. steph has funded part of the project, with contributions from the local community via a gofundme page. any surplus funds will be donated to derbyshire wildlife trust. for more stories from across the uk, head to the bbc news website. you're live with bbc news. the mayor of the west midlands has said he wants to see the crooked house pub near dudley, an 18th—century building called britain's wonkiest pub, rebuilt. an arson investigation is under way after a fire at the pub was followed by its ruins being demolished. our midlands correspondent phil mackie reports. a week ago, the much—loved black country landmark was still standing, just as it had for 250 years. subsidence had left it in its famously wonky state. the brewers marston's sold it two weeks ago, and the pub was closed. it's believed the new owners wanted to change its use. then, last saturday night, it caught fire. police say it was arson. the road to it had been blocked, and over the next 2a hours, firefighters struggled to access the site. the inside was gutted, but the external walls survived, and it was hoped the crooked house could be saved. then, on monday, diggers were seen demolishing what was left. the council said this was contrary to its instructions. since then, thousands of people have visited the site to express their anger. james stephens runs a nearby pub and says the loss of the crooked house has struck a nerve. people have been gathering in my pub really for the past week to talk about it, and we feel like we've lost our dudley castle. it was really that important to us. and you could make the argument it was underused. yes, it was underused. didn't deserve to be stolen from underneath us, though. at ground level, you can see the damage caused by the fire and then the demolition of the building. this is the rubble that is all that remains of the crooked house. but you have to go up quite high to get a sense of the isolation and remoteness of the location. you can also see the landfill site that surrounds it, and that's been part of this week's controversy. the company which bought the pub, ate farms limited, is controlled by carly taylor. her husband adam was a director of the company which owns the landfill. the bbc has confirmed that it hired diggers which were delivered before the fire and used to demolish the pub. ate hasn't commented. the events of the past week have led to an outcry. this should not have happened. no permission for demolition was given, and therefore my reaction to this is this is the wrong pub, with the wrong authority, the wrong community at the wrong time. so we will investigate what has happened, and then hopefully get the rebuilding done. he went on to reiterate his desire to see the pub rebuilt. they've asked people to stop removing bricks as souvenirs and those who have to return them. this week, there's been a palpable sense of anger and loss, tempered by some black country black humour. phil mackie, bbc news, himley. the outlook for the uk economy may be brightening after figures showed a growth of 0.2% between april and june. that's a little more than analysts were expecting. it's thought thatjune's warm weather encouraged more people to go to pubs and restaurants, and there was increased activity in manufacturing. prime minister rishi sunak said the figures showed the government's plan for the economy was starting to work, but labour responded that growth is still on the floor. our economics correspondent dharshini david reports. another beep, another pair of leggings sold and a boost to the financial health of the nation over the spring. it's been really good. really, really grateful that we had such a good start to the year. i mean, naturally with our business, with what we do, we are a little bit slower in the summer months, but it will pick up for q3 and 04, i've got no doubt about that. this online retailer, like many others, can thank pay rises and the savings held by some households for attempting consumers to spend more. otherwise it could've been a stretch. it's really, really tough, because when our materials go up... shipping, you know, ithink last year our containers went up three times the price that it was to get in our products here. all of that goes up, business costs, internal costs, warehouse costs, everything. over in salisbury, this maker of industrial pumps has sped up production as higher demand overcomes costs and an increase in red tape prompted by brexit. i think it's on the way up. i think for us, we're sensing more activity in certain industries. the offshore industry for us has definitely seen a resurgence. there are many sectors that make up our economy, but all of these saw the biggest gains between april and june. they include retail, hotels and restaurants, those reliant on customers feeling flush, and manufacturing, including that of vehicles. but all of that is in the past. higher interest rates are now affecting more than half of borrowers. these are the sectors here in red that are most vulnerable to higher borrowing costs as spending is squeezed. you'll see there's a lot of overlap with those who are doing well. and that's why when it comes to growth, the bank of england thinks there won't actually be much to see in the next year or two. and our output and household spending power has yet to even recover to pre—pandemic levels. this year at least, we are outpacing some other big countries on growth, although there's not much to toast. i'm not going to be delighted to see growth of 0.2%, - but if you look at our peer group, we're in the middle of the pack. i germany is flat. italy is down 0.3%. so this is in line with all— economies dealing with the aftermath of covid, the disruption caused | by russia's actions in ukraine. j out resilience means the bank of england may feel comfortable raising rates again, but growth is a fraction of what it used to be. the question for all politicians is how do we turbo—boost prosperity? let's talk about that very question. jamie rush is chief european economist for bloomberg. how do you assess those numbers? i3 good news for us on the ground of the economy is not tanking but the good news is also a bit bad news in the sense that stronger growth means the sense that stronger growth means the bank of england will feel that it needs to keep lifting interest rates. they will not be happy into lakes and the economy slowing and inflation starting to fall back. so this opens the door to further rate hikes in the higher with its rights, the more risk there is that we hit some sort of tipping point where the economy it really tanks. and so as a safe it is good news and kind of bad news here. �* ,., safe it is good news and kind of bad

a _ do you think that's fair? i think the uk is in a bad _ do you think that's fair? i think the uk is in a bad position. - the uk is in a bad position. and there are a couple of elements to it. one is that underlying growth is extremely slow, so we have very low productivity growth who are not getting better. ourjobs are not producing more stuff will he go to work, and it is a long—standing problem that is actually quite specific to the uk. and then the other bit of bad news is that we have failed to recover excessive pandemic in a bit in a bad position because of our exposure to the energy shock as well as having a very tight labour market coming out of the pandemic, which is meant that the community has dealt with it more than other central banks have had to do like in europe for example. but are these negative developments a result of policies or lack thereof? so it's fairly clear that some of the witness that we have seen in the economy over the past five or six years has been related to brexit. led to very weak investment spending come a much lower than our peers in the g7 economies, and so to some extent, yes, we have brought this on ourselves. that is unfortunately sending that is going to stay with us for some time unless there is a concerted effort to try and raise productivity but unfortunately that is a long—term problem that needs to be saw from the ground up. policies like improving skills and education and it will take a long time for those benefits to feed three. this [art er those benefits to feed three. this larger trend _ those

our wages won't go up as much as they otherwise would because the only way to sustainably improve living standards is to get better at our jobs and to improve our output per hour of work and that's the way wages go up sustainably. that has not been happening some into it said that productivity growth bounce back, we are going to be in for wage growth is not very much in excess of inflation in the years to come. there been questions about whether the uk is headed for a recession but how do you see that question? i think it's very likely. the bank of england has increased interest rates at the fastest pace for decades. he will be very surprising to me if that did not have a material consequence on the economy but the problem is when you change interest rates, it's hard tojudge problem is when you change interest rates, it's hard to judge exactly when the impact is going to land. and so we may yet, the worst may still be had for us in terms of the interest rate impact on the economy. and final question, are there any bright spots in the uk economy that could but the current long—term trend? i could but the current long-term trend? ., �* , could but the current long-term

exploration. russia has launched its first mission to the surface of the moon in nearly half a century. have a look at this. the unmanned mission is called luna 25, and it lifted off from thr vostochny cosmodrome in russia's far east. the aim is to reach the moon's south pole, which is believed to hold deposits of water. the russian mission is racing against india, which sent up its own lander last month that is already orbiting the moon. russia's space chief told interfax the lander is expected to touch down on the 21th of august, a couple of days before india's spacecraft. and visitors to a beach on the jurassic coast and dorset had a narrow escape after part of a cliff above them collapsed. look at this video here captured in west bay. it shows the moment a large section of rock fell near a number of beach—goers. dorset council award rock falls and land slips are common in the area. and more than 90,000 rubber ducks have splashed into the chicago riverfor a huge charity race. thousands lined the banks of the river to get a glimpse of the annual spectacle and people paid to adopt a duck and the winning owner could take home a car if there one crosses the line first. the event raised half $1 million and i cannot tell which not one but it was definitely a yellow one. thanks for watching. as we have mentioned, our top story at this hour it remains hawaii, where at least 55 people have died at the moment that's what we know. we are waiting for updates from officials there you are expected to hold a press conference and this is our life page. there you can find all the latest information and latest images and updates and of course some of those dramatic escape stories from residents as well. so do check out our website at the bc dock, or you will find that life page on a wife. think give are watching and we are back in a few minutes, stay with us. hello. we had our brief spell of warmth in the last couple of days, and now that the weekend is here, of course, it's turning a little cooler and more unsettled. but don't get me wrong, it's not going to be awful. there will certainly be some fine weather around, some lengthy spells of sunshine, but quite a few showers around as well, brought by this area of low pressure just to the north—west of us right now. and this is how it's going to barrel across the uk during the course of the weekend, and the closer you are to the centre of this low pressure, the more frequent the showers will be. so, through the course of this evening and overnight, showers, quite frequent ones spreading into northern ireland by the morning, western scotland, perhaps the irish sea, wales, maybe the south, too, whereas many central and eastern parts of the uk should wake up to a bright, if not sunny, weather saturday morning with temperatures around 15—16 degrees. so a pleasant start to the day. and here's saturday itself — quite brisk winds around western coasts with these atlantic winds and a mixture of sunshine and showers. some of them could be heavy, could be a crack of thunder, most lengthy spells of sunshine, i think, in the south. and this pattern will continue into sunday as well. so, again, the closer are to the centre of the low, the more frequent the showers will be and generally out towards the west, too. so london, norwich, hull probably faring best with fine weather, some spots could actually get away with a completely dry weekend. now, let's have a look at monday. the low pressure's still with us, but it is fizzling away. still have a weather front here, so that does mean that across east anglia and the southeast for a time on monday, it could be in the morning or lasting into the afternoon. difficult to say, but some cloud and rain certainly in the forecast. showers could break out also across scotland, but many areas towards the west actually fine weather to start the week. now, let's talk about the jet stream. it's still over us. it's been over us more or less all summer and at leastjuly into august. so this is where it will roughly be through the week, deflecting any heat coming our way from the south eastwards. but it could come close to the south later next week, so temperatures could rise. in fact, there is a hint — if you keep checking the apps, you'll notice that as you go beyond wednesday, thursday into friday, the temperatures keep rising and the weather turns a little bit drier and brighter. bye— bye. hello, i'm sumi somaskanda. you're watching the context on bbc news. the ocean almost swept my kids away a few times. we stuck together. we held on. people lost everything. homes, jobs, their cars, some their pets... there's still people missing. it's extraordinary. it's tragically gone. we know that many. people are suffering. the fatality numbers - will climb somewhat today. that evening, thank you forjoining us. at least 55 people dead, and hundreds missing in hawaii as firefighters continue to battle devastating wildfires on the island of maui. joining me on my panel for the next hour is andrew fisher — former director of policy for the labour party underjeremy corbyn — and bryan lanza, former director of communications on president trump's transitions team. also on the programme... donald trump is put on notice by a judge about what he can

Card image cap



after a 100 million euro deal was agreed by the clubs. the transfer should be done before the new german domestic season, which starts next week. and another potential huge move is on the cards. liverpool have agreed a british record transfer for moises caicedo from brighton for £111 million. caicedo�*s been on the radar of several premier league sides for the last few months after a standout season for brighton, who had already rejected a series of bids from chelsea. the ecuadorian midfielder is now free to go for a medical. i have confirmed that the deal with the club is agreed. whatever that means exactly in the end. those who want to play it, we are in any kind of agreement, we will see that. we as a club which is right to make sure that for us we get with our resources, with the money we have, we get the best possible team together. the first of the women's world cup quarterfinals have guaranteed that the winner this year will do so for the first time. spain and sweden are into the last four, both winning 2—1, as patrick gearey reports. spain have come a long way. just last winter, a different squad were in near mutiny, but revelation has come from the revolution. the team in form, but also in luck. var spotted dutch woman stephanie pendergrass handball in the box penalty. spain ahead less than ten minutes left. what must�*ve been in her mind? this is her 106th cap. this will be herfinal world cup. she wasn't going to end it like that. commentator: she scores! it's 1-1. spain strike in extra time! this the kind of scales spain could have dreamt of, but sweden had knocked out mighty america, and they know football is about opportunism. it got better for the swedes after the break. a penalty. a path back forjapan, but theycouldn�*t take it. still, they kept pushing, and in the final minutes, hayashi offered them a flicker of hope, but time was running away. the last former champions are out. thanks to sweden, there will be a new name on the women's world cup. american ally ewing had quite a day at the women's open. she began today leading on li—under par, but after a superb round of 66, ewing soared to 10—under par. england's charley hull has kept the home crowd happy with some brilliant putting, including this birdie on the 15th. she's tied for second on 5—under with american andrea lee and minami katsu ofjapan. and that's all the sport for now. thank you very much, sarah. we will stick with sports. saudi arabia's football league has kicked off its new season in the last few hours with multi—million—pound signings from around the world, including cristiano ronaldo, jordan henderson and marcelo brozovic. as you can see here, the numbers are staggering. many of the league's new signings are earning hundreds of thousands of pounds a week, but it's come with controversy. critics say saudi arabia is using football to distract from its human rights record. joining me now is the sportswriter and author carrie dunn and toby miller, professor at the universidad complutense de madrid. he has extensively researched the human rights angle of where the game is played. we will come to that in a moment. but first of all, just with these big names, are you surprised so many top players have signed? i’m big names, are you surprised so many top players have signed?— top players have signed? i'm not surrised top

loyalty perhaps to particular clubs but thatjust is not loyalty perhaps to particular clubs but that just is not there. loyalty perhaps to particular clubs but thatjust is not there. players will go

to watch it, it will be filling on one of its too intense but i think certainly some might say they are not going to watch it because of the human rights issues which i think cannot be overlooked, i

now, but potentially there could be in the future. i think there is a lot of nostalgic value attached to some of the big names. yes, they might be past the prime but i think people will still want to watch them if that was on offer. so i think the water broadcast deal will certainly be the next step that the league organisers will be looking into. brute organisers will be looking into. we saw the

time in saudi arabia and you have essentially covered women's football. what do you think the rise are the big names going to probably will mean for the women's game? interesting question with a women's game completely absent from this debate because itjust does not overlap at the moment. one would hope that investment in football per se would then have a trickle—down effect to grassroots to have an impact on women's game and i would like to see that happen and have something good come out of something that i think is probably not great. but i'm not convinced we will actually see it

this house on the a6 has been completely transformed. now depicting a kingfisher, magnolia and a mill wheel, the design gives a nod to the town's industrial heritage, with owner steph walsh hoping the mural will brighten up belper. i think it will really, you know, give people a sense of awe and wonder and inspiration as they drive through town. the artist behind the mural is sarah yates of fauna graphic, who painted the peregrines on the museum of making in derby. it will encourage perhaps other artist to work on, you know, larger scales and be a bit more expressive within the community on this type of level. steph has funded part of the project, with contributions from the local community via a gofundme page. any surplus funds will be donated to derbyshire wildlife trust. for more stories from across the uk, head to the bbc news website. you're live with bbc news. the mayor of the west midlands has said he wants to see the crooked house pub near dudley, an 18th—century building called britain's wonkiest pub, rebuilt. an arson investigation is under way after a fire at the pub was followed by its ruins being demolished. our midlands correspondent phil mackie reports. a week ago, the much—loved black country landmark was still standing, just as it had for 250 years. subsidence had left it in its famously wonky state. the brewers marston's sold it two weeks ago, and the pub was closed. it's believed the new owners wanted to change its use. then, last saturday night, it caught fire. police say it was arson. the road to it had been blocked, and over the next 2a hours, firefighters struggled to access the site. the inside was gutted, but the external walls survived, and it was hoped the crooked house could be saved. then, on monday, diggers were seen demolishing what was left. the council said this was contrary to its instructions. since then, thousands of people have visited the site to express their anger. james stephens runs a nearby pub and says the loss of the crooked house has struck a nerve. people have been gathering in my pub really for the past week to talk about it, and we feel like we've lost our dudley castle. it was really that important to us. and you could make the argument it was underused. yes, it was underused. didn't deserve to be stolen from underneath us, though. at ground level, you can see the damage caused by the fire and then the demolition of the building. this is the rubble that is all that remains of the crooked house. but you have to go up quite high to get a sense of the isolation and remoteness of the location. you can also see the landfill site that surrounds it, and that's been part of this week's controversy. the company which bought the pub, ate farms limited, is controlled by carly taylor. her husband adam was a director of the company which owns the landfill. the bbc has confirmed that it hired diggers which were delivered before the fire and used to demolish the pub. ate hasn't commented. the events of the past week have led to an outcry. this should not have happened. no permission for demolition was given, and therefore my reaction to this is this is the wrong pub, with the wrong authority, the wrong community at the wrong time. so we will investigate what has happened, and then hopefully get the rebuilding done. he went on to reiterate his desire to see the pub rebuilt. they've asked people to stop removing bricks as souvenirs and those who have to return them. this week, there's been a palpable sense of anger and loss, tempered by some black country black humour. phil mackie, bbc news, himley. the outlook for the uk economy may be brightening after figures showed a growth of 0.2% between april and june. that's a little more than analysts were expecting. it's thought thatjune's warm weather encouraged more people to go to pubs and restaurants, and there was increased activity in manufacturing. prime minister rishi sunak said the figures showed the government's plan for the economy was starting to work, but labour responded that growth is still on the floor. our economics correspondent dharshini david reports. another beep, another pair of leggings sold and a boost to the financial health of the nation over the spring. it's been really good. really, really grateful that we had such a good start to the year. i mean, naturally with our business, with what we do, we are a little bit slower in the summer months, but it will pick up for q3 and 04, i've got no doubt about that. this online retailer, like many others, can thank pay rises and the savings held by some households for attempting consumers to spend more. otherwise it could've been a stretch. it's really, really tough, because when our materials go up... shipping, you know, ithink last year our containers went up three times the price that it was to get in our products here. all of that goes up, business costs, internal costs, warehouse costs, everything. over in salisbury, this maker of industrial pumps has sped up production as higher demand overcomes costs and an increase in red tape prompted by brexit. i think it's on the way up. i think for us, we're sensing more activity in certain industries. the offshore industry for us has definitely seen a resurgence. there are many sectors that make up our economy, but all of these saw the biggest gains between april and june. they include retail, hotels and restaurants, those reliant on customers feeling flush, and manufacturing, including that of vehicles. but all of that is in the past. higher interest rates are now affecting more than half of borrowers. these are the sectors here in red that are most vulnerable to higher borrowing costs as spending is squeezed. you'll see there's a lot of overlap with those who are doing well. and that's why when it comes to growth, the bank of england thinks there won't actually be much to see in the next year or two. and our output and household spending power has yet to even recover to pre—pandemic levels. this year at least, we are outpacing some other big countries on growth, although there's not much to toast. i'm not going to be delighted to see growth of 0.2%, - but if you look at our peer group, we're in the middle of the pack. i germany is flat. italy is down 0.3%. so this is in line with all— economies dealing with the aftermath of covid, the disruption caused | by russia's actions in ukraine. j out resilience means the bank of england may feel comfortable raising rates again, but growth is a fraction of what it used to be. the question for all politicians is how do we turbo—boost prosperity? let's talk about that very question. jamie rush is chief european economist for bloomberg. how do you assess those numbers? i3 good news for us on the ground of the economy is not tanking but the good news is also a bit bad news in the sense that stronger growth means the sense that stronger growth means the bank of england will feel that it needs to keep lifting interest rates. they will not be happy into lakes and the economy slowing and inflation starting to fall back. so this opens the door to further rate hikes in the higher with its rights, the more risk there is that we hit some sort of tipping point where the economy it really tanks. and so as a safe it is good news and kind of bad news here. �* ,., safe it is good news and kind of bad

in the l reasonably strong growth in the month ofjune across quite a lot of sectors, so it's very broad—based. but you won't need me to remind you that august was not a particularly nice month is so far neither it was july. if there was a role be played by weather in supporting the figures, we should not cut that on for the next month.— figures, we should not cut that on for the next month.

a _ do you think that's fair? i think the uk is in a bad _ do you think that's fair? i think the uk is in a bad position. - the uk is in a bad position. and there are a couple of elements to it. one is that underlying growth is extremely slow, so we have very low productivity growth who are not getting better. ourjobs are not producing more stuff will he go to work, and it is a long—standing problem that is actually quite specific to the uk. and then the other bit of bad news is that we have failed to recover excessive pandemic in a bit in a bad position because of our exposure to the energy shock as well as having a very tight labour market coming out of the pandemic, which is meant that the community has dealt with it more than other central banks have had to do like in europe for example. but are these negative developments a result of policies or lack thereof? so it's fairly clear that some of the witness that we have seen in the economy over the past five or six years has been related to brexit. led to very weak investment spending come a much lower than our peers in the g7 economies, and so to some extent, yes, we have brought this on ourselves. that is unfortunately sending that is going to stay with us for some time unless there is a concerted effort to try and raise productivity but unfortunately that is a long—term problem that needs to be saw from the ground up. policies like improving skills and education and it will take a long time for those benefits to feed three. this [art er those benefits to feed three. this larger trend _ those

our wages won't go up as much as they otherwise would because the only way to sustainably improve living standards is to get better at our jobs and to improve our output per hour of work and that's the way wages go up sustainably. that has not been happening some into it said that productivity growth bounce back, we are going to be in for wage growth is not very much in excess of inflation in the years to come. there been questions about whether the uk is headed for a recession but how do you see that question? i think it's very likely. the bank of england has increased interest rates at the fastest pace for decades. he will be very surprising to me if that did not have a material consequence on the economy but the problem is when you change interest rates, it's hard tojudge problem is when you change interest rates, it's hard to judge exactly when the impact is going to land. and so we may yet, the worst may still be had for us in terms of the interest rate impact on the economy. and final question, are there any bright spots in the uk economy that could but the current long—term trend? i could but the current long-term trend? ., �* , could but the current long-term

will have to see how things evolve. interesting if perhaps somewhat dire predictions there. great to speak with you today, thank you so much. appreciate it. here's one for those of you who love space exploration. russia has launched its first mission to the surface of the moon in nearly half a century. have a look at this. the unmanned mission is called luna 25, and it lifted off from thr vostochny cosmodrome in russia's far east. the aim is to reach the moon's south pole, which is believed to hold deposits of water. the russian mission is racing against india, which sent up its own lander last month that is already orbiting the moon. russia's space chief told interfax the lander is expected to touch down on the 21th of august, a couple of days before india's spacecraft. and visitors to a beach on the jurassic coast and dorset had a narrow escape after part of a cliff above them collapsed. look at this video here captured in west bay. it shows the moment a large section of rock fell near a number of beach—goers. dorset council award rock falls and land slips are common in the area. and more than 90,000 rubber ducks have splashed into the chicago riverfor a huge charity race. thousands lined the banks of the river to get a glimpse of the annual spectacle and people paid to adopt a duck and the winning owner could take home a car if there one crosses the line first. the event raised half $1 million and i cannot tell which not one but it was definitely a yellow one. thanks for watching. as we have mentioned, our top story at this hour it remains hawaii, where at least 55 people have died at the moment that's what we know. we are waiting for updates from officials there you are expected to hold a press conference and this is our life page. there you can find all the latest information and latest images and updates and of course some of those dramatic escape stories from residents as well. so do check out our website at the bc dock, or you will find that life page on a wife. think give are watching and we are back in a few minutes, stay with us. hello. we had our brief spell of warmth in the last couple of days, and now that the weekend is here, of course, it's turning a little cooler and more unsettled. but don't get me wrong, it's not going to be awful. there will certainly be some fine weather around, some lengthy spells of sunshine, but quite a few showers around as well, brought by this area of low pressure just to the north—west of us right now. and this is how it's going to barrel across the uk during the course of the weekend, and the closer you are to the centre of this low pressure, the more frequent the showers will be. so, through the course of this evening and overnight, showers, quite frequent ones spreading into northern ireland by the morning, western scotland, perhaps the irish sea, wales, maybe the south, too, whereas many central and eastern parts of the uk should wake up to a bright, if not sunny, weather saturday morning with temperatures around 15—16 degrees. so a pleasant start to the day. and here's saturday itself — quite brisk winds around western coasts with these atlantic winds and a mixture of sunshine and showers. some of them could be heavy, could be a crack of thunder, most lengthy spells of sunshine, i think, in the south. and this pattern will continue into sunday as well. so, again, the closer are to the centre of the low, the more frequent the showers will be and generally out towards the west, too. so london, norwich, hull probably faring best with fine weather, some spots could actually get away with a completely dry weekend. now, let's have a look at monday. the low pressure's still with us, but it is fizzling away. still have a weather front here, so that does mean that across east anglia and the southeast for a time on monday, it could be in the morning or lasting into the afternoon. difficult to say, but some cloud and rain certainly in the forecast. showers could break out also across scotland, but many areas towards the west actually fine weather to start the week. now, let's talk about the jet stream. it's still over us. it's been over us more or less all summer and at leastjuly into august. so this is where it will roughly be through the week, deflecting any heat coming our way from the south eastwards. but it could come close to the south later next week, so temperatures could rise. in fact, there is a hint — if you keep checking the apps, you'll notice that as you go beyond wednesday, thursday into friday, the temperatures keep rising and the weather turns a little bit drier and brighter. bye— bye. hello, i'm sumi somaskanda. you're watching the context on bbc news. the ocean almost swept my kids away a few times. we stuck together. we held on. people lost everything. homes, jobs, their cars, some their pets... there's still people missing. it's extraordinary. it's tragically gone. we know that many. people are suffering. the fatality numbers - will climb somewhat today. that evening, thank you forjoining us. at least 55 people dead, and hundreds missing in hawaii as firefighters continue to battle devastating wildfires on the island of maui. joining me on my panel for the next hour is andrew fisher — former director of policy for the labour party underjeremy corbyn — and bryan lanza, former director of communications on president trump's transitions team. also on the programme... donald trump is put on notice by a judge about what he can
