Well speak to our Business Editor simonjack injust a moment, but first lets talk to our Political Correspondent nick eardley, who was watching the Prime Ministers speech closely. Nick, why is he saying this, today . It isa it is a pretty stark message, isnt it . Things are going to get worse before they get better. The budget is going to be painful. There are going to be big asks of the country in the next few months. The reason keir starmer is doing it is to try and frame the debate over the coming months. To say to the country, we have been left a dire economic inheritance so when we make the difficult decisions that are coming do not blame us, blame the last lot. The conservatives dispute that and say the economy was on the turn when the General Election happened. It is also worth bearing in mind keir starmer now has to make decisions, decisions about what to prioritise and work to potentially cut. Those decisions will often be controversial. You need to look at the backlash over the decision to scrap the Winter Fuel Payment to see how quickly opposition to a decision can grow. Sir keir starmer is getting used to power. We saw that with the speech he gave this morning, he is getting used to the attention and the ability to try to set the narrative. That power also means he estimates some difficult decisions, they will be decisions on some of them will be controversial. Nick, thank you. And our Business Editor simonjack is with us. Simon, what does this mean for the economy . It is interesting. No one would doubt the public finances are very stretched. When there is talk about an Economic Black Hole, lots would raise eyebrows. The economy is doing pretty well. It was forecast by obr to grow. 8 over the whole of this year. It grew 1. 3 in the First Six Months alone, the highest in the g7. That should mean lots of extra tax receipts piling into the treasury. In the last three months we borrowed 5 billion to balance the books, more than expected. Evidence say labour that there was really a serious black hole in those finances. What it means for the economy, Business Confidence is high, Consumer Confidence is doing better. Some people will say, be careful what you do to try to dampen the Animal Spirit of a recovering economy. We know vat, National Insurance and income tax are ruled out. Keir starmersaid insurance and income tax are ruled out. Keir starmer said today the broadest shoulders should bear the most weight. That means things like income tax relief and Capital Gains look like obvious candidates for tax rises come october. After days of speculation, 90s supergroup oasis have confirmed theyll reunite for a world tour next summer, 15 years after liam and Noel Gallagher fell out, and the band split up. Formed by the brothers in 1991, Oasis Rose To Fame with hits including wonderwall, dont Look Back In Anger and live forever. In 1994, their chart topping album definitely maybe helped to kick off the britpop era, and propelled them to mega stardom. By 1996, two and a half Million People applied for tickets to their two live gigs at knebworth. But things fell apart in 2009, when noel and liams longstanding fractious relationship finally broke down after a backstage fight in paris. Fans have longed for a reunion ever since. And now finally theyve got it. This morning, the brothers announced 1a new tour dates across the uk and ireland. Tickets will go on sale on saturday. Our culture correspondent Charlotte Gallagher is at the oasis mural in south manchester. How significant is this for that city .

It is hugely significant for manchester and oasis fans across the world. Here, this is where liam and noel grew up. People are really proud of their local heroes. You can see the mural. Lots of people this morning coming in and taking selfies with the mural. One woman saying it was like christmas. The report you are about to see does contain flashing images. Me and him are, like, telepathic, you know what i mean . I know my brother better than anybody else. When both come together, you have greatness. Oasis are back. After a 15 year feud. The Gallagher Brothers have buried the hatchet and are going on tour. And for these fans in their home city of manchester, its been a long wait. I went to the same school that the Gallagher Brothers did, so its just been like where i live locally. Theyre just like this. Theyre so important to manchester and especially to where i went to school. Like, were really proud of them. I just love them. Im actually only 24, so i would have been nine when they broke up the first time, but. So this is an opportunity for me. Do you know what i mean . If i was old enough the first time, i would definitely go and see them but. You know, now ive got the chance, its. You know, its a good chance for the younger generation, you know. People like me and people even in their late 20s wont have got a chance to see them the first time around. The world around us. Makes me feel so small. This was one of the bands last shows at heaton park here in manchester in 2009. Is it worth the aggravation . And theyll be back there next year for their homecoming, playing four dates in july. The eyes of the world will be on manchester in 2025 because of this, you know. Everyone will be talking about and celebrating all things to do with the city. Um, and itsjust going to be the place to be. But, you know, the person im most pleased for and by far the most important gallagher is peggy gallagher, and she gets to see her sons on stage again, which willjust be brilliant. Oasis will also play cardiff, edinburgh, wembley and dublin next summer. Maybe ijust wanna fly, wanna live, dont wanna die. The Tour Announcement coincides with the 30th Anniversary of the bands debut album definitely maybe. On the night it went to number one, they were playing in belfast. It was just a great time to be there and just the buzz and the hype. I mean, theres the irish connection as well. They had a lot of family at the event as well, so the Dressing Room was buzzing beforehand and it was just. Yeah, its our knebworth. You know, we. Everybody talks about the knebworth gigs but for the limelight, for the 500 people there, thats. Thats just. Thats our gig. Tonight im a rock n roll star. Its the reunion that many thought would never happen. But the headline making Sibling Rivalry has been put aside, at least for the 14 day tour. And how about Glastonbury Nextjune . Its not been announced, but Oasis Headlining The Main Stage is something many fans dream of. So many good songs. Today, people have been humming and. They have been walking past the mural. They are looking forward to see a real greatest hit set list of the 1a dates in the uk and ireland this will be financially lucrative for the Gallagher Brothers. Noel gallagher once said it would take half 1 billion for him to get back on stage with oasis. People are talking about figures close to that number. I dont think it isjust about the money. These two brothers have had a feud, there has been a lot of resentment. They obviously have buried the hatchet, they are back on speaking terms and they are looking forward to getting back on tour again. We have been told by ticketmaster they are expecting huge demand for the tickets when they go on sale on the 31st of august. Plenty of teenage memories unlocked. Thank you. Russia has launched a wave of Missile Attacks across ukraine for a second day. At least four people were killed as more than half of the country was targeted. President zelensky said his forces would undoubtably respond. Our correspondent Abdujalil Abdurasulov reports from kyiv. Another Sleepless Night for ukraines first responders. All good, these Emergency Workers say as they lift a woman from the rubble. Dont worry. Youve been rescued now. And this is what they are rescuing herfrom the remains of a hotel in the city of kryvyi rih that was hit by a russian missile. Two people were killed there, and two more are still missing. The strike happened in the middle of the night. Nearby residents were shaken awake. Translation i heard a very loud explosion and got scared. But then i gathered myself, realised it was very close and that i should run to help. Translation my children were so scared. They were already asleep in their beds, and i hate it when theyre woken up by the sound of sirens. Russian drones also attacked the zaporizhzhia region in southern ukraine, killing at least two people. A number of residential buildings were badly damaged in the attack. The barrage overnight was smaller than yesterdays when russia launched more than 200 drones and missiles, mostly against ukraines energy infrastructure. A Hydroelectric Power Plant near kyiv was hit, and other Energy Facilities were targeted. These latest attacks come as ukraine is pressing its incursion into russias kursk region. Some observers believe that moscow is retaliating by bombarding ukrainian cities, although massive aerial attacks have been russias regular strategy since the beginning of this war. The Search And Rescue operation is continuing and Emergency Workers are still clearing the rubble and looking for missing people. Even though the scale of todays attack was not the same as yesterdays, ukraine had to pull all its resources in order to repel it. President zelensky is giving a press conference. He hasjust announced kyiv has to use newly arrived at at fighterjets. This is the first time it appears that ukraine has used the western jets to defend it appears that ukraine has used the westernjets to defend its territory.
