Team coming into the world cup. To come out of a group where nobody gave them hope, they lost 6 0 in the opening game to germany. What was so impressive about that was the togetherness they showed. I also like the fact that the girl that wore the hijab, for the growth of the game, i think for muslim women and young girls to see a female play in a major tournament, on such a big stage, i think that visibility is crucial moving forward. So here they are taking their place in the Knockout Stage where theyll play france. Thatll be the final last 16 match. It all starts on saturday with spain against switzerland. Holders the usa meet sweden on sunday. While european champions england face nigeria, one of the now three teams from africa whove qualified from the groups. That is on monday. Seven time super bowl champion tom brady has become the latest High Profile Sports star to get involved with an English Football Club. Lebronjames has a small share in liverpool, jj watt is a burnley shareholder, and now brady has become a minority owner at a second tier team. Here is the deal. I am officially coming on board at Birmingham City Football Club. Birminghams new owners say theyve entered into a partnership with the nfl legend, who will become the chair of an Advisory Board, offering up his expertise on nutrition and opening up possible new commercial deals. Brady retired from playing earlier this year, while birmingham finished 17th in the championship and havent been in the Premier League since 2011. Well, theres another world cup going on right now. Apart from the one involving both teams in new zealand. And there was a significant win for england Over Australia in the Netball Tournament in cape town. Both had qualified for the semifinals before their meeting, but englands 56 55 victory is their first over the world number ones in this competition. Jamaicas win over defending champions new zealand means they finish top of their group and will face australia in the last four. Englands opponents will be new zealand unless south africa beat uganda by a massive margin. That is currently not happening, although they are ten a head. 21 11. That next to another change to the Rugby League World cup. It was due to held in france in 2025, but after they withdrew for financial reasons, the Southern Hemisphere will now host the tournament in 2026. The last edition of the competition was held in the uk in 2022, the same year france was awarded hosting rights for the next one after initial plans for it to be held in North America for the first time were scrapped. The ashes test series has also been reinstated, with englands Men And Women To Tour Australia in 2025. The reality is, these competitions are significant in their logistics and organisation, and to have a truncated one as it is now is always something that would have been difficult for france. It is a stretch, 12 months less than france had for a nation. We have a proposal for 2025 from a country, but we thought, in gratitude to the success was to move it to 2026 in a different format as well. So we had to make that decision as a board fought not only this world cup but the world cup is going forward. Much more reaction the world cup is going forward. Much more reaction to the world cup is going forward. Much more reaction to that the world cup is going forward. Much more reaction to that womens world cup. 0n the website, you can find out.

Greenpeace said campaigners had unfurled Oil Black Fabric on one side of the house near northallerton. Mr sunak and his family are on holiday in california.

The protesters were are there for some hours. The North Yorkshire police were called around 8am, and it wasnt until one oclock that the protesters came down. As you said, five people in total have been arrested, or have been charged with causing criminal damage and public nuisance, a third man arrested on suspicion of causing a public nuisance. They remain in custody. The Prime Minister is not there. He is on holiday in california with his family. There are some reports at the protest first door first of all, before they went on the roof, to say that this was peaceful. But, it is over. It is extraordinary that they managed to get access to the roof of the Prime Ministers constituency home. One tory mp pointed that out, saying, this doesnt seem a very serious. This seems like a serious security breach, that the protesters could do this. They are protesting because of the governments announcement that they are going to issue new Oil And Gas Drilling Licences for the north sea. That is a decision defended by the deputy Prime Minister, 0liver dowden, who is running things on the Prime Minister is a way, who said in an interview today that people were sick of these stupid stunts. What sick of these stupid stunts. What these peeple sick of these stupid stunts. What these people are sick of these stupid stunts. What these people are saying, sick of these stupid stunts.

It is a very controversial decision. The labour party have said it is a huge mistake and blows a hole in the governments environmental credentials, campaigners like greenpeace eight is the last thing the government should be doing now, which is taking fossil fuels out of the north sea. So, it is a very live political issue, and what we have seen today is one prominent Pressure Group responding with their own direct action. Thank ou ve with their own direct action. Thank you very much with their own direct action. Thank you very much. Some with their own direct action. Thank you very much. Some breaking with their own direct action. Thank you very much. Some Breaking News regarding our main story. The Bank Of England raising the cost of borrowing Interest Rates to. Rishi sunak� s target now looks within reach. The Chancellor Of The Exchequer coricjeremy hunt, says it is working. Underneath that decision, says it is working. Underneath that decision, there says it is working. Underneath that decision, there is says it is working. Underneath that decision, there is a says it is working. Underneath that decision, there is a forecastl that decision, there is a forecast that decision, there is a forecast that says that this time next year, inflation will be 2. 8 , and we will have avoided recession. And what are the Bank Of Englands governor is saying, is that we have a plan bringing down inflation solidly, robustly, and consistently. So, the plan is working. What we have to do, as a government, is make sure we stick to that plan, not to veer around like a shopping trolley. We stick to that so that families and businesses can start to feel the benefits of that plan working. What benefits of that plan working. What many people benefits of that plan working. What many people are benefits of that plan working. What many people are starting to feel in the uk is the pinch to their mortgages, of course, rising Interest Rates mean that higher Mortgage Repayments for many homeowners across the country. With that in mind, we head to oui our head of statistics who is in the newsroom. On is in the newsroom. Trackers . Is there an end in sight to these rises . Tell me about those tracking mortgages. That is what many people are looking at. That is what they are looking at. That is what they are worrying about. The are looking at. That is what they are worrying about. Are looking at. That is what they are worrying about. The rates that we have seen. Are worrying about. The rates that we have seen, the are worrying about. The rates that we have seen, the rises are worrying about. The rates that we have seen, the rises over are worrying about. The rates that we have seen, the rises over the i we have seen, the rises over the last year, they have seen them facing mid 2000 Interest Rates plus 2020 house prices. For them, the news is hopefully stabilising. We hope that based on todays predictions, there are not too many rises to go. They arent going to drop back down. 5 is likely to be here to stay. There is one word of warning on these predictions, they are very uncertain. If we wind back the clock to the start ofjuly, things were looking a lot less hopeful, and the markets are betting Interest Rates would go as high as 6. 5 , plus,. That is the base rate of the banks. If we go back to may, we would see that the markets were betting we would never reach 5 . So, todays story is flattening out around 5. 25, but that is todays story, today is another day. For people following the Tracker Rates and the standard variable rates. There is only about one fifth of people with mortgages in the uk. Most are on fixed rates. Why are these going down . When the bank rate is rising . These going down . When the bank rate is risin . , these going down . When the bank rate is risinu . ,. These going down . When the bank rate is risin . ,. ,. , is rising . They are going in opposite is rising . They are going in opposite directions. Is rising . They are going in opposite directions. You i is rising . They are going in i opposite directions. You could is rising . They are going in opposite directions. You could be forgiven for being confused. The reason for the difference is that fixed rate mortgages, and the officer to get, they dontjust depend on todays Interest Rates, they depend on the rates expected to happen to them over the five years that you are getting the loan. When those expectations about the future become more pessimistic, the rates go become more pessimistic, the rates 9 up, become more pessimistic, the rates go up, and when they go down, things get a bit back. The banks are middlemen. They go into the market and passing gusts you with a little bit extra for themselves. You can see the ghost of their borrowing in the chart. When things topped out at the chart. When things topped out at the start ofjuly, you you can see the start ofjuly, you you can see the cost for a bank reach the levels we were seeing around the time of the mini budget last year, but since then, as things have become more optimistic, the rates will flatten out, people have hope, we have seen that they have been coming down, passing them on, little by little, under the consumer. The passing them on, little by little, under the consumer. Passing them on, little by little, under the consumer. The banks have been getting under the consumer. The banks have been getting those under the consumer. The banks have been getting those predictions under the consumer. The banks have j been getting those predictions wrong on the rising prices, havent they . We can see why the banks Interest Rates forecasts have been in the news, the next chart shows, and what people hope the banks do, is they raise Interest Rates to stand down on inflation. Their decisions they make are guided by what they think is going to happen to inflation. Lets see what happened to it. Lets add the projections of the bank have been making to guide their decisions. Before the war, they were a bit optimistic. We all probably were. You saw it coming . In the second half of 2022, they probably over called the peak. And then, they were being a bit pessimistic. Going into this year, et that the projections are closer. You would have to zoom quite a lot way in to see this, they are still probably being a bit optimistic about the inflation going down. This will drive their decision, it begs the question, if they had different models, if they had called the size of the uk problem earlier, where they have made different decisions . That is to do with a bangs forecasting. It is partly an assessment of how we deal with the world which has so much uncertainty, pandemics, walls, one like we see near the last few years. fight pandemics, walls, one like we see near the last few years.
