welcome to the programme. there are tentative signs that inflation is coming under control, and the recession forecast last year will be shallower and shorter than expected. butjust to make sure, the central banks are raising the interest rates again. yesterday it was the fed, today the bank of england increased the base rate, half a point, to 4% the highest it has been in m years. we think inflation will come down rapidly, and a lot of that is down to energy prices, which have fallen rapidly. but i m afraid there are big risks out there which mean that it may not happen in that way. yet we re still seeing stronger pressure from price and wage setting in the economy in the question is, will that start to ease off? coinciding with the bank s decision came a profit announcement from shell and a rather blunt illustration of why we re all getting poorer. the oil and gas giant has reaped profits of £40 billion last year. the taxman has reaped far less. shell said it p ....

prime minister liz truss today setting the women s and men s indoor speed record for duration of a prime minister, only 44 days in office, that is not even her abrupt resignation earlier today throws our closest ally even further into chaos. now that our friends across the pond weren t able to find any humor in this instability, the economist magazine pointedly wondered which would last longer, liz truss s prime ministership or a perishable ahead of iceberg lettuce, a youtube live stream puts this theory to the test six days ago. well, lettuce, liz, is still standing. when folks start invoking solid items when discussing how long it will last at her job, at some point it becomes a feta complaint. but let us move on. how could six weeks ago so horribly wrong? liz truss s is fall from power exhilarated after she introduced trussonomics, a plan for massive tax cuts aimed at the wealthiest britons so that they could create jobs, she said. essentially, trickle down economi ....
island, complete with amenities, wait for it, that include x box game consoles, ping pong tables, fluff and fold laundry, plenty of controversy, with residents housed in homeless shelters, a stark contrast to rundown conditions they live in. meanwhile, the situation at the southern border is spiralling out of control. the el paso mayor is denying the white house asked him not to declare a state of emergency over the influx of illegal immigrants, but comments at a city council meeting last month suggest otherwise. did the white house ask you not to declare a state of emergency? absolutely not. one of the things i m thankful for the white house, the federal government, they ve done a really, really good job working with us, helping us to make sure we get funding to be able to do the job that border cities are required to do. i had a conversation this morning or yesterday with the chief of the u.s. border patrol, chief ortiz, and he does not support declaring a state o ....
