00:01:16level since 2021, new figures show.
00:01:17show. Average wages are 3.5% higher
00:01:21higher than a year ago, and Welsh

00:01:28becoming the first person to win

00:01:32in one night. You're with BBC News
00:01:41News with Me, Karin Giannone and and Sally Bundock and Sally has more
00:01:45more on those UK jobs numbers. I I do indeed, and I need that little
00:01:48little sneaky device just so that that I can see what's on the screen.
00:01:51screen. So we've got, as you were were just hearing there, we've got
00:01:54got the labour numbers out for the
00:01:56the UK market showing that this jobs jobs market here is still under quite
00:02:00quite a bit of pressure. It's a tricky tricky jobs environment out there.
00:02:03there. So if we take a look first first at employment, provisional
00:02:06provisional figures show there's there's been a slight fall in August
00:02:10August compared to the previous month.
00:02:11month. That represents around 26,000
00:02:1426,000 fewer employees in the workforce. workforce. And the drop has been
00:02:17been mainly in retail and hospitality.
00:02:19hospitality. The quarterly rate of of unemployment remains unchanged
00:02:23unchanged at 4.9% in the three months months to the end of July. On top
00:02:27top of that, as you are hearing, hearing, job vacancies remain at
00:02:30at their lowest level outside of of the pandemic. Meanwhile, if you
00:02:33you look at wages annual growth in
00:02:36in employees average regular earnings, earnings, including bonuses, was
00:02:40was 3.9% in May to July 2026 and
00:02:43and that is unchanged from the previous previous time. But this figure is
00:02:46is likely to be the defining factor factor in the rise in the state pension
00:02:50pension next April. The Bank of England,
00:02:51England, of course, will be scrutinising scrutinising all this information
00:02:54information before they meet on Thursday Thursday for their latest decision
00:02:58decision on interest rates. They're They're looking for whether there's there's any clues that higher energy
00:03:01energy prices caused by the Iraq Iraq war are having an impact on
00:03:05on wage growth and underlying inflation
00:03:08inflation in the UK. This time tomorrow, tomorrow, will have the latest inflation
00:03:11inflation numbers. Maxine Bligh is is interim chief executive of the
00:03:15the Recruitment and Employment Confederation. Confederation. I asked her what stood
00:03:18stood out for her in today's data. data. Overall, it's really the continuation
00:03:21continuation of the picture that that we've been seeing for a while.
00:03:24while. It remains just a really challenging challenging market for job creation
00:03:27creation and hiring. And I think think what stands out is, given that
00:03:30that growth was stronger than expected expected for the last quarter, we
00:03:34we might have hoped for slightly slightly better in the employment
00:03:36employment figures, but as the ONS ONS points out itself, its high cost
00:03:39cost of doing business and high costs costs of hiring, particularly for
00:03:43for small companies that are behind behind some of this continuing caution.
00:03:46caution. But also as well, Maxine, Maxine, when you think about it,
00:03:49it, if you're running a business
00:03:52business right now, it's so difficult difficult to know what's ahead. Currently
00:03:56Currently we've got, you know, a a recently appointed Prime Minister. Minister. We've got a new chancellor,
00:03:59chancellor, we've got a budget coming coming up at the end of October.
00:04:02October. I mean, I can understand understand why businesses are saying
00:04:06saying we are just not hiring currently, currently, especially when you think
00:04:08think of the wider geopolitics with
00:04:10with the Middle East, etc. Yeah,
00:04:12Yeah, exactly that. I mean, our surveys surveys show that actually businesses
00:04:16businesses are quite confident in
00:04:18in their own business potential and and do see potential to hire in the
00:04:22the future. But as you say, there's there's so much caution about the
00:04:25the business environment at the moment. moment. And I think that's why there's there's so much riding really. On
00:04:29On the outcome of the government's government's decisions at the moment.
00:04:32moment. So things like the consultation consultation on guaranteed hours,
00:04:35hours, the decisions it makes in
00:04:36in the budget, the plan it sets out
00:04:39out national minimum and living wage wage discussions. All of these can
00:04:42can just help signal to business business that the government is doing
00:04:46doing all it can to help unlock some
00:04:48some of the potential that's there,
00:04:50there, given how unstable the picture picture is geopolitically. I just
00:04:54just wonder, you know, we've mentioned mentioned the Bank of England is is going to be going through all
00:04:58all these figures, as will the Chancellor, Chancellor, John Healey, because
00:05:02because there is real concern. I've I've noticed that since the last
00:05:04last set of employment figures we've
00:05:06we've had, you know, a leading retail
00:05:09retail recruitment not retail sorry sorry recruitment company saying
00:05:12saying graduate jobs are down 50% 50% in the past year. We've got the
00:05:15the issue of those not in education, education, employment or training.
00:05:19training. So so-called NEETs still still sitting at around a million.
00:05:22million. And there's various incentives incentives to get people back into into the workforce. I just wonder
00:05:26wonder what could be in the budget budget to change this. Yeah. Well,
00:05:30Well, what we're calling for is the the government to relook at the Nick
00:05:34Nick Watt thresholds. So to think
00:05:36think about a pathway to reverse.
00:05:39reverse. NICs, National Insurance Insurance contributions. That's right.
00:05:43right. And so to restore a pathway pathway to restore the level that
00:05:46that it was at, that was obviously
00:05:49obviously lowered last year and has
00:05:52has impacted significantly on business business costs and particularly,
00:05:55particularly, I think, led to decisions
00:05:57decisions at the entry level in terms
00:05:59terms of bringing people into work work and, you know, into part time
00:06:03time work as well, which I think
00:06:05think does impact on NEETs and young
00:06:07young people in particular. There's There's also more to do on the growth
00:06:10growth and skills levy to think about
00:06:13about reforming that and think about
00:06:15about more agility in skills funding,
00:06:18funding, as you say, you know, the the environment is very uncertain
00:06:20uncertain at the moment. Labour market market flexibility is is critical
00:06:24critical to that and businesses are
00:06:25are really looking at, you know,
00:06:28know, short-term, where is the opportunity? opportunity? How can they deploy
00:06:30deploy people for that opportunity opportunity and be agile around that?
00:06:34that? What that looks like over the the longer term. So I think this
00:06:37this is, you know, quite structural structural change in the labour market market that the government needs
00:06:40needs to respond to in policy terms.
00:06:45terms. That's Maxine Bligh there there from the recruitment and Employment
00:06:48Employment Confederation with her her take on the latest jobless numbers. numbers. Let's bring you up to date
00:06:51date on what's going on with oil oil prices and the situation in the
00:06:55the Middle East. It's also having having an effect on financial markets
00:06:58markets in other areas. So on Monday, Monday, the yield on ten year US
00:07:01US government bonds briefly exceeded
00:07:03exceeded 5% for the first time since
00:07:06since 2023, which hit thresholds thresholds that ring alarm bells.
00:07:09bells. The rise in yields comes during during a continuing sell off in US.
00:07:13US. The Treasury market, which is
00:07:15is estimated to be worth just over
00:07:18over $31 trillion in total. And this
00:07:20this comes at a time when the Federal Federal Reserve, the US central bank,
00:07:24bank, is expected to raise interest
00:07:26interest rates. Its meetings take
00:07:28take place today and tomorrow. Jane Jane Foley, who's head of foreign
00:07:31foreign exchange strategy at Rabobank, Rabobank, explained what's going
00:07:35going on. This is the first time
00:07:38time since 2023 we've seen this sort sort of level, but actually if we
00:07:41we stand back and look at the long-term long-term trend, it's the first time
00:07:45time we've sort of held assuming assuming we do hold above these levels
00:07:48levels really since the time of before before the global financial crisis.
00:07:51crisis. And so, you know, we stand stand back and say, well, look, is
00:07:54is this an anomaly? Are they going going to come back down? Or actually
00:07:57actually many people would say, look, look, this is more like a normalisation.
00:08:01normalisation. Perhaps the years years since the global financial
00:08:05financial crisis, we had extraordinarily extraordinarily low long-term interest interest rates. And we think about
00:08:09about the reasons why. Well, you've you've been talking about oil prices.
00:08:12prices. Yes. That's a significant
00:08:14significant driver of long-term interest
00:08:16interest rates that inflationary inflationary push, but also another
00:08:19another driver of long-term interest interest rates is the fiscal situation.
00:08:23situation. There's a lot more government government debt out there than there
00:08:26there was before the global financial financial crisis years. And this
00:08:29this is another big driver of long-term
00:08:31long-term interest rates. What does does it mean for federal government
00:08:35government in the US in terms of of servicing its debt? Does it mean
00:08:39mean it's more expensive? It's something something we talk about here in the
00:08:41the UK a lot. The fact that the Chancellor's Chancellor's fiscal headroom is shrinking
00:08:44shrinking and that kind of thing, thing, is that the same story in
00:08:46in the US? Yes, it is much more expensive.
00:08:49expensive. And what's also really really worrying, particularly in
00:08:52in the US, is the size of the budget budget deficit. Now if you like,
00:08:55like, if you have a big budget deficit
00:08:58deficit every year, then that means means you've got an accelerating
00:09:02accelerating pile of debt every year. year. And so many people would think
00:09:05think it's that pace of that growth growth of the debt, the budget deficit.
00:09:08deficit. That's perhaps the most most worrying. Now here in the UK,
00:09:12UK, for instance, many people say, say, well look, there's a plan. There's There's those fiscal rules, there's
00:09:16there's some discipline here. What What is the plan in the US? Well,
00:09:19Well, that's not so clear. We know
00:09:22know that, for instance, a lot of of the tax implications that we've
00:09:26we've seen from the current administration administration have sort of added
00:09:29added to the budget deficit. And And the markets perhaps are clamouring
00:09:33clamouring for a little bit more
00:09:35more fiscal discipline from the Trump Trump administration. OK. Well, we'll
00:09:38we'll see some discipline when we we from the Federal Reserve, it will will play its part in all of this.
00:09:42this. It's likely to raise rates. rates. Do you think tomorrow and
00:09:45and if so that puts Kevin Warsh on on a collision course with President
00:09:49President Trump. It does. But perhaps perhaps it's something that the markets
00:09:52markets need to hear because the the markets want an independent Federal
00:09:55Federal Reserve. They don't want want one that is under the thumb
00:09:58thumb of the President. That perhaps perhaps would make inflation fears
00:10:01fears even worse and drive up those
00:10:02those long-term interest rates even
00:10:05even more so given the inflationary inflationary concerns. I think the
00:10:08the market needs to see some hawkish hawkish response from the Federal
00:10:12Federal Reserve. And at this point,
00:10:14point, with 90% of a hike priced
00:10:16priced in, if he doesn't hike interest interest rates, that would likely
00:10:20likely drive long-term interest rates rates up even more and more accelerated
00:10:23accelerated pace. So the market perhaps perhaps needs to see that hawkish
00:10:27hawkish response from the central central bank. Jane Foley there now
00:10:30now the Trump administration has
00:10:32has repealed regulations which limit
00:10:34limit how many greenhouse gases power power stations can emit. The move
00:10:38move was announced by the head of of the Environmental Protection Agency.
00:10:42Agency. Samira Hussain has more from from New York. President Trump has
00:10:45has described man made climate change
00:10:47change as the greatest con job ever
00:10:50ever perpetrated on the world. Accordingly, Accordingly, his administration has
00:10:54has long indicated that it wants wants to ditch the restrictions that
00:10:57that his predecessors placed on how how many greenhouse gases, coal and
00:11:01and natural gas fired power stations stations could emit. Now, the rule
00:11:05rule change announced by EPA administrator administrator Lee Zeldin, will make
00:11:08make it possible for the power generating
00:11:11generating sector to put many more
00:11:12more of the gases that cause global
00:11:15global warming into the atmosphere. atmosphere. Now, the power generating generating sector is already the
00:11:19the second biggest source of greenhouse greenhouse gases in America, after
00:11:23after transportation. Mr Zeldin says
00:11:25says his moves will save the industry
00:11:29industry over $300 billion. Now this this comes as the rapid construction
00:11:32construction of data centres has
00:11:34has created huge new demand for electricity.
00:11:38electricity. Samira Hussain there there in New York. That's all from from me and I'll see you later. Sally.
00:11:42Sally. Thank you very much. Still Still to come, British success. Lots

00:11:57home. Let's bring you some breaking
00:12:00breaking news from Denmark. The Danish
00:12:03Danish Prime Minister has slammed
00:12:05slammed what is called reckless action
00:12:08action after a Russian frigate fired fired flares at a Danish military
00:12:12military helicopter. A little more
00:12:13more detail on that. Denmark reporting
00:12:16reporting that the Russian frigate frigate fired two flares towards
00:12:19towards a Danish military helicopter
00:12:21helicopter off its coast on Monday. Monday. The flares narrowly missed
00:12:25missed the aircraft, which had been been on a mission to photograph the
00:12:29the ship. Russia's ambassador to
00:12:32to Denmark has been summoned. We We will bring you any more, we get
00:12:36get on that story Yemen's Houthi
00:12:39Houthi movement says Saudi Arabia Arabia has launched renewed air strikes
00:12:42strikes across the west of the country country after the Iran backed group
00:12:46group announced it had targeted military military bases in the kingdom. The
00:12:49The Houthis said the Saudi attacks
00:12:51attacks hit areas including Taiz,
00:12:54Taiz, al-Jawf and Hudaydah. The group group had earlier targeted the King
00:12:57King Khalid air base in southern southern Saudi Arabia. The extent
00:13:00extent of the damage in both attacks attacks hasn't been verified and
00:13:02and there's been no reaction from from Riyadh. Last week, the Houthis
00:13:06Houthis seized control of Yemen's
00:13:07Yemen's Red Sea coast and Bab al
00:13:10al Mandab Strait from Jerusalem. Jerusalem. Our Middle East correspondent
00:13:14correspondent Hugo Bachega reports. reports. The Houthis say they fired
00:13:16fired dozens of missiles and drones
00:13:18drones at a military base in southern
00:13:21southern Saudi Arabia, targeting targeting radar systems, runways
00:13:24runways and ammunition depots, and and there were emergency alerts issued
00:13:27issued by the Saudi authorities for
00:13:29for several locations around this
00:13:32this base and in Yemen, government government forces supported by Saudi
00:13:36Saudi Arabia are trying to fight fight back. The Houthis have accused
00:13:40accused Saudi Arabia of carrying
00:13:42carrying out more than 300 air strikes
00:13:44strikes in the past five days. This This has been a rapid advance by
00:13:48by the Houthis, capturing a key territory
00:13:52territory along the Red Sea. And And the fear here is that this could
00:13:55could reignite the civil war in Yemen.
00:13:58Yemen. The United Nations says that
00:14:01that more than 80,000 people have have already been displaced because
00:14:04because of the fighting, and we still still don't know if the Houthis will
00:14:08will try to seize even more territory
00:14:10territory or if there will be a larger
00:14:13larger offensive by the government government and its allies. But the
00:14:17the violence in Yemen is also putting
00:14:19putting pressure on energy supplies supplies because the Red Sea has
00:14:22has become a key alternative for
00:14:25for Saudi oil exports. Given that that the Strait of Hormuz has been
00:14:29been effectively closed because of
00:14:31of the US war against Iran. And it
00:14:34it isn't clear if the Houthis have
00:14:36have the ability or are planning
00:14:39planning to disrupt shipment in this
00:14:42this vital waterway. And finally, finally, reports say that a crucial
00:14:46crucial Saudi pipeline that was struck struck in a drone attack a few days
00:14:50days ago is likely to remain closed
00:14:53closed for a few weeks for the damage
00:14:56damage to be repaired, and this could
00:14:59could squeeze oil prices even further.
00:15:02further. Hugo Bachega well, several several Gulf states are struggling
00:15:05struggling because of the stalemate stalemate between the US and Iran.
00:15:08Iran. Alia Al-Khaled is a former
00:15:10former member of Kuwait's National National Assembly, and she explained
00:15:13explained how her country is being being affected. Kuwait air Defence
00:15:17Defence has repeatedly intercepted intercepted Iranian ballistic missiles
00:15:20missiles and drones, and some of of those strikes affected energy
00:15:24energy facilities and have caused caused some infrastructure damage
00:15:27damage and electricity, electricity electricity plants and some oil fields
00:15:31fields and multiple injuries among
00:15:34among personnel and workers at those
00:15:36those areas. The blockage of the
00:15:39the Strait of Hormuz by Iran has
00:15:41has severely restricted Kuwait primary
00:15:43primary shipping lanes, causing a
00:15:46a backlog in oil exports and increasing
00:15:49increasing state revenues. So therefore,
00:15:52therefore, to combat mounting budget
00:15:56budget deficit that Kuwait is suffering
00:15:59suffering from and massive reconstruction reconstruction costs, the Kuwaiti
00:16:03Kuwaiti government issued emergency
00:16:05emergency decrees allowing it to
00:16:08to borrow up to 10% from its future
00:16:12future Generation Fund. President President Trump has said fears about
00:16:16about the safety of AI are a hoax,
00:16:18hoax, as he criticised calls to have have more guardrails for the fast
00:16:22fast moving technology. And this this comes after Jack Clark, a co-founder
00:16:26co-founder of AI giant Anthropic, Anthropic, told the BBC that a kill
00:16:29kill switch for dangerous AI that that can be checked by a third party
00:16:33party may need to be mandatory for for the industry here in the UK.
00:16:36UK. The Business Secretary, Jonathan Jonathan Reynolds, has been speaking speaking to BBC Breakfast, reassuring
00:16:40reassuring the public that the government
00:16:42government is taking AI safety seriously.
00:16:44seriously. We should never be complacent complacent nor should we be hyperbolic
00:16:48hyperbolic about this. AI is a very very powerful technology. It's used
00:16:51used in a lot of very positive ways
00:16:53ways in the UK from how we diagnose
00:16:56diagnose medical conditions to, you you know, the fact that it's contributing
00:16:59contributing such a large amount amount to our economy. As the last
00:17:01last month's figures showed, but but also the UK is a world leader
00:17:05leader in something called the AI AI Safety Institute. That means that
00:17:09that models developed in other countries countries are often given to us to
00:17:12to test. In the UK it's a difficult difficult situation and that a lot
00:17:15lot of this technology, the frontier frontier technology does in the main
00:17:18main come from the US and China. China. But I would want people to
00:17:21to be reassured that safety is taken taken exceptionally seriously, that
00:17:24that we have institutions in place place in the UK that are playing
00:17:27playing a leading role. And of course, course, as ever with technology, technology, it's not just about the
00:17:31the technology itself, it's how it's it's used, it's how you regulate regulate the rest of the economy
00:17:35economy to make sure they're ready ready for the changes coming their
00:17:38their way. So please don't be concerned concerned listening at home about
00:17:41about some of the things that you you have heard. We take this very
00:17:43very seriously and we can have confidence confidence in our systems in place
00:17:46place in the UK. Well, we've been been talking a lot about AI in recent
00:17:50recent days. A police force is now
00:17:52now using it to help cut down on
00:17:55on non-urgent inquiries. Merseyside Merseyside Police have started using
00:17:58using an AI chatbot named Bobbi to to answer questions from the public.
00:18:02public. The force says 1 in 5 calls calls doesn't require a police operator
00:18:05operator and that this will free free up staff to deal with genuine genuine emergencies. Our reporter
00:18:09reporter Phil McCann went to find find out more. Meet Bobbi, he's on
00:18:13on the screen, not on the beat, but but he could still save lives. It's
00:18:17It's there. To deal with routine
00:18:21routine calls, inquiries, advice advice or problems that doesn't need
00:18:24need a human to actually answer it
00:18:26it and therefore frees up the time time of the contact resolution officers.
00:18:30officers. That's because the police police staff who answer 101 non-emergency
00:18:33non-emergency calls in this call call centre are the same staff who
00:18:37who answer 999 emergency calls. You You can't talk to Bobbi on the phone.
00:18:41phone. You first meet him or she she or it on the Merseyside Police
00:18:44Police website where it pops up in in the corner. So if, for example,
00:18:48example, you see or hear a trapped trapped cat, Bobbi will tell you
00:18:52you to go to the RSPCA, not the police.
00:18:54police. But often things aren't that that simple. What if you spot someone
00:18:58someone as does happen shooting at at the cat with an air rifle? Well,
00:19:00Well, then Bobbi decides it is a
00:19:02a police matter and brings in a human human being. It could be. A noise
00:19:06noise complaint, for example, or or an abandoned vehicle. It could could be, as you've just mentioned,
00:19:10mentioned, that example, a dog barking barking an animal issue which RSPCA
00:19:13RSPCA would take primacy for. Those Those can be taken or those calls
00:19:16calls can take a few minutes, up up to multiple minutes, tens of minutes
00:19:19minutes to be dealt with. And every every time a contact is dealing with with those calls is meaning it's
00:19:23it's time away from being able to to answer the 999 calls where someone
00:19:27someone is in significant danger
00:19:28danger or needs help straight away.
00:19:31away. 95% of Merseyside's 999 calls calls were answered in less than
00:19:34than 10s last month, a figure that that it's hoped this new Bobbi can
00:19:37can improve. Phil McCann, BBC News.
00:19:42News. Powers to stop people wearing wearing face coverings including
00:19:46including balaclavas, come into force force today and Nottingham city centre.
00:19:49centre. Police will be able to ask ask people to remove coverings if
00:19:52if they reasonably believe they're they're being used to conceal their
00:19:55their identity to commit crime or
00:19:57or anti-social behaviour, Navtej
00:20:00Navtej Johal reports. Intimidating
00:20:04Intimidating and aggressive that's that's how many feel about scenes
00:20:07scenes like these where people are are wearing balaclavas. But from
00:20:10from today in Nottingham city centre, centre, the police will have the
00:20:13the power to ask anyone wearing a
00:20:14a face covering to remove it if they they reasonably believe it's being
00:20:18being used to conceal their identity, identity, to commit crime or anti-social
00:20:22anti-social behaviour. Over the last
00:20:24last 12 months we've experienced experienced a lot of crime and anti-social
00:20:27anti-social behaviour here in the
00:20:29the city centre whereby predominantly predominantly young people are wearing
00:20:33wearing face coverings. They're normally
00:20:37normally balaclavas, a few nights nights earlier in Nottingham we came came across a. Young man wearing
00:20:40wearing a face covering, playing playing loud music. He didn't want
00:20:43want to talk to us but the officer officer who spoke to him did and
00:20:46and he had told him about the upcoming
00:20:48upcoming ban. How receptive was he he to that message? Oh yeah. Loved
00:20:51Loved it. Loved the. Idea of this. this. Yeah. Hopefully he's going
00:20:55going to pay attention to it. I really really do hope everybody does pay
00:20:58pay attention to it and I think it'll it'll make the streets safer. Well, Well, as part of this plan, if someone
00:21:02someone refuses to remove their face. face. Covering when asked to do so
00:21:04so by police, they could be given
00:21:07given an on the spot £70 fine or
00:21:10or face prosecution with a maximum
00:21:12maximum penalty of up to £1,000.
00:21:15£1,000. With young people, we're we're clearly not going to issue
00:21:19issue a monetary fine. They will will come here back into the city
00:21:22city centre and they will take part part in reparative activities. So
00:21:26So that might be litter picking or or graffiti removal. And we'll also
00:21:29also do a diversionary course with with young people because we want
00:21:33want them to understand why their their behaviour is intimidatory.
00:21:37intimidatory. 12341. Oh. But these these teenagers at a youth outreach
00:21:41outreach project in the city, some some of whom wear balaclavas, say
00:21:44say young people wearing them are
00:21:45are often judged unfairly. If I had
00:21:48had a nice bike and I wore a balaclava, balaclava, it could be because I I didn't want people to know who
00:21:52who I was. Come to my house to take take my bike could be some committing committing crime. It could be because
00:21:56because I'm cold. There's so many many different reasons that people people wear them. I've had some friends
00:21:59friends that wear badges when they're they're being mischievous. I've got got friends that wear badges because
00:22:02because they just want to wear it. it. Do you think this ban is going
00:22:05going to make a difference? Well,
00:22:08Well, for me, I'll be honest, if if someone wants to wear a balaclava, balaclava, they're going to wear
00:22:12wear a balaclava regardless. I think think one or two people might stop
00:22:15stop wearing them and that's it.
00:22:17it. Why? Just because if they're
00:22:21they're using them to commit crime, crime, then what's another crime
00:22:23crime going to do? Police say they they won't target people wearing wearing face coverings for religious
00:22:27religious work or any other legitimate legitimate reasons. They say they
00:22:30they have the resources to enforce enforce the new rules and believe
00:22:33believe they will make the city safer.
