the first diving titles for england. good morning. the governor of the bank of england has defended the decision to raise interest rates, saying there's a "real risk" of soaring prices becoming "embedded". yesterday, the bank warned the uk will fall into recession as it raised interest rates by the largest amount in 27 years. the uk economy is forecast to shrink in the last three months of this year, as the bank predicts a recession that will last well into next year. the bank says that sharp increases in energy prices will push inflation to more than 13% — a 42 year high — and that the value of people's incomes is falling. one of the ways it can try to control inflation is to raise interest rates. this makes borrowing money more expensive which means we are less likely to spend — bringing prices down. that's the bank's justification for raising interest rates from 1.25% to 1.75% — the biggest rise since 1995. the governor of the bank of england, andrew bailey, told the today programme why raising interest rates

the governor of the bank of england has been speaking earlier at the bank of england press conference. cpi inflation is now expected to peak atjust over 13% in q for this year and remain and to remain at very elevated levels throughout much of 2023. the bulk of that further increase reflects higher wholesale prices feeding through to retail energy prices, with a further large rise in the off gem price gap projected in october. i should stress that our forecasts and projections take into account the new method announced by of gem this morning. so, you can see in the next chart, the direct impact of energy prices on cpi inflation in our recent forecasts, and the extent of the latest upward revisions. you will see the green line. i will come back to the dashed green line later because that shows an alternative projection which uses their full futures curve rather than the fixing of the line. but you can see obviously there are clearly what has gone on in recent forecasts, and i would emphasise also, i use the word direct impact of energy. of course it is not the total impact of energy. t

and the church of england, of course, is the national official church of england, of britain, and most of those colonies adopt what we would call a kind of formal establishment of the church of england. but the southern colonies overall are probably the least religious of all the colonial regions which, if you think about that for a second, you'll see why that's a little weird. we think of the southed today as the bible belt, correctly. but in the colonial period, it's different. in the colonial period, there is a kind of formal establishment at least of the church of england, but once you get out past the colonial cities, places like williamsburg, charleston and savannah, the rates of church going and commitment to the church of england is pretty limited. and part of the reason for that if you remember going back to the founding of jamestown these colonies are mostly being founded for business. and it's a little difficult to set up churches in the back country where settlement is so scattered. and so people living in the rural south in the early 1700s, i mean, they might have been chr

than england. yes, it'sjust incredible also think further than england. yes, it's just incredible and i think we are also proud of them and also so thankfulfor what think we are also proud of them and also so thankful for what they are brought to the game. we will absolutely miss them. they are such big personalities and they have such an impact on the team. but i do think, and we already saw during the summer with our captain that she grew in her role so well and she collaborated with the whole team and also of course with the others more experienced leaders on the team. so i do think that now the dynamics of the team will change a little bit of course, but that is normal, we will absolutely miss those two but i think that will stabilise over the next campus. it also gives an opportunity to other players to step up. well wiegman will also be without chloe kelly — who scored the winner in the euros final against germany — and fran kirby. but our football reporter emma sanders says the england c

a very warm night, 20 degrees, across southern england. temperatures in the lower end of double figures across scotland. and then through sunday, it does start to get livelier for northern ireland and western and northern scotland. as showers work their way through here during the day, some locally intense downpours to come. and that will start to break down the heat. isolated showers also possible across wales, the south—west, perhaps a few getting into the midlands. but i think very little in the way of significant rain to come out of those. it's through monday, as this area of low pressure tries to edge in from the atlantic, that we will see rain becoming more widespread across the western side of the uk. there's the possibility of some showers to the east as well, but these are likely to be more hit and miss. whereas we're going to see i think some pretty heavy, quite sustained downpours for some parts of western and northern britain through monday. you can see as well how the temperatures are affected by that rain arriving. still ac

i mean, huge celebrations across england. can we say though, all the english line is what the, when did they did that they did, they had to overcome their own, the pressure on themselves, put on them because they were in their home stadium, basically in the, the most historic stadium in the world, perhaps they were also fortunate that alexandra pop the germany's top scorer and probably her best, clear their best player in the tournament. thus far. she pulled herself out basically because of a nagging injury that she kid that brought herself by brought the came back. that is in the pre game for work out. and she also, they were also fortunate about video, assistant referee call in which they maybe just didn't look closely enough. that what was considered a handball by the german side in front of the english side and the english go on. so that was one concern. at the same time, the german german coach that england deserved it and presented accolades to the english side. serena vig mine of course, is the english coach who was th
