Its almost three years since Margaret Ferrier built those rules by speaking in parliament when she was waiting for the results of a covid test. When i came back positive, rather than isolating, Shejumped On The came back positive, rather than isolating, she jumped on the train and came back up here to scotland. The consequences have been far reaching. She was arrested by police, she was charged and ultimately, she received 270 Hours Community service. She was also suspended by the snp and lost the party whip. The other sanction was that she was suspended from parliament for 30 days, and it was the length of that suspension that automatically triggered this recall petition, and ultimately led to her losing her seat. It was 10 of people who were required to register voters to sign that petition, and in the end, it was a total of 11,896 well over the 8000 or so that were required. We will have a by election here.

The accident happened at about 18 45 on monday. Three other people were injured. Two of them an 18 year old woman and a 60 year old man remain in critical condition. We can speak now to our news correspondent, sara girvin where the accident took place. The details of this are really awful. Just tell us more. It was late this afternoon awful. Just tell us more.

The event was then cancelled and the school that had organised it reopened to offer support and counselling services to all the young people affected. And we heard from the School Principal of the couege from the School Principal of the college today, who said the School Community was dealing with profound sadness and grief. We spoke to people who live in this very rural but very close net area. They say theres a dark cloud over the time today.

New figures show the rate at which food prices are rising has slowed down to its lowest level this year. According to the british retail consortium, Food Inflation fell last month to 13. 1i thanks to the lower cost of staple goods, like oils, breakfast cereals, and fish. Heres our Business Correspondent emma simpson. It may not feel like it, but the worst of food price rises could now be over. Grocery bills, though, are still way too high for many shoppers. Like, before, you canjust walk in with £10 and get a lot of things, but now even £10 cant even buy what you actually want to buy. I mean, at the moment, im ok, but i guess im very lucky. But if it increased any more, just like Mortgage Rates as well, just like, yeah, the whole things going up, isnt it . Instead of buying luxuries, now i buy the basics. Todays Food Price Figures come from the trade body for retail, which also monitors the change in shop prices. Lets take a look at this chart which tells the story. Now, you can see how food prices jumped from last year. They were going up before the war in ukraine, but then they really started to rocket from last summer. Food inflation on this survey peaked at nearly 16 in april this year. But it has been falling ever since, down to 13. 1i forjuly. The brc says that is helped by some key items like oils and fish the brc says thats helped by some key items like oils and fish coming down in cost. Were seeing that prices are falling in some areas and theyre still continuing to rise, but much more slowly. There are cause for concern around ukraine exports of core cereals and also india have introduced rice restrictions, so there are cause for concern in those areas. But overall, the picture is more optimistic. And poor weather on the high street lead to bigger discounts on clothing and poor weather on the high street lead to bigger discounts on clothing and footwear to persuade us to part with our cash. That led to overall shop prices falling month on month. Its very encouraging to see the rate of shop Price Inflation fade finally, after two years in which we have all felt the pinch. But unfortunately, the Bank Of England probably still 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. Meanwhile, big changes on how much we pay for alcohol come into force today with drinks now subject to duty based on how strong they are. That means the price of wine and spirits will go up, but some weak beers and sparkling wine will be slightly cheaper. Ben king has this report. The Bristol Distilling Company is known for its gin, and its branching out to vodka, too. But these are some of the strongest drinks on the market and, under the new rules, the stronger the drink, the more tax you pay. The more tax you pay yet another rising cost they will have to pass on. Around 80p per bottle, so a significant rise for sure. I think when you combine that with all the other increases in costs that weve seen recently, then it leaves producers in a position where most are going to have to pass that increase on to their customers. So, yeah, itll definitely have an effect. Alcohol taxes are being reorganised to tax drinks according to their strength. And, after a freeze for nearly three years, Alcohol Taxes as a whole rise with inflation up 10. 1 . Result a complex brew of price changes. 12 sparkling wine will be 19p cheaper, as higher rates for fizz are abolished. A can of pre mixed gin and tonic will be 5p cheaper. But a bottle of 12 still wine will rise 44p, a bottle of vodka up 76p and a bottle of 20 port up £1. 30. The wine and Spirit Trade Association says it represents the biggest Price Increase for nearly 50 years. Now, to support pubs which have been hit by the pandemic and rising prices, draught drinks are largely protected from the duty rises that other drinks are seeing, which means that you should pay up to 11p less duty on a pint of beer bought from a pub than you would pay on the same pint from a supermarket. 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 cans, they will become 10. 1 , they will be going up 10. 1 , and, unfortunately, that costs the industry some £225 million. The government says it wants to simplify the alcohol tax system, while protecting producers and pubs. But it has to raise revenue, too. And for those who like their alcohol strong, drinks will get more expensive. Ben king. House prices in the uk have dropped by the largest annual amount since 2009, according to figures from the building society, nationwide. Prices have fallen by almost li from july last year, with the average cost of a home in the uk nowjust over £260,000. Earlier we spoke to our correspondent, Colletta Smith and we began by asking her whats driving this trend . What were seeing is the biggest house price fall since the financial crash in 2009. But the ingredients, the causes of this fall are very different. Its really being fuelling by those huge increases in Mortgage Rates that weve seen over recent months. So today, if you were to get a two year fixed Rate Mortgage deal, the average price is that youd be paying 6. 85 and interest. Thats a massive jump compared to this point last year. That means more people are failing those Mortgage Affordability checks when theyre trying to get hold of a mortgage, and othersjust opting for cheaper properties, putting in for lower offers, and thats having a real world impact now. Were seeing that on house prices. Nationwide saying today that, actually, since that peak since that peak that we saw in august last summer, prices have actually dropped by 4. 5 . More buyers hesitating as well at the moment, just as rates are shifting so much and everything feels quite uncertain these last few months, and thats having an impact in the amount of properties sold. So nationwide saying that injune, there was a 15 drop in the number of properties that they processed for sale. The slowdown, they say, will continue while Bank Of England are continuing to increase those Interest Rates and as weve already been hearing on the programme from emma and from ben, the Bank Of England are meeting this week and were expecting on thursday another Interest Rate rise. So that means that house prices are likely to continue to fall over the next couple of months. Co. Smith. More Housing Schemes in london are excluding people around £30,000 a year because they dont know enough.
