it is true that inflation went up because of global factors. - global factors have i also contributed to its fall and it's also true that very | difficult decisions that i took, | working alongside the bank of - england meant that it didn't become an inflationary spiral. the snp has set out its manifesto. page one, paragraph one — the pledge to continue the fight for independence. but what else is in their plan to woo back support? inflation hits the bank of england target for the first time in three years. the prime minister says we've turned a corner, but does the government deserve credit? and vadimir putin has been welcomed to north korea for the first time in two decades, with a huge ceremony

in the centre of pyongyang. the two leaders signed what the russian president called a breakthrough agreement. so what does that mean for global security? good evening. the scottish national party has launched its election manifesto in edinburgh today, putting independence and the nhs at the forefront of their campaign. the first ministerjohn swinney said he would push for a second independence referendum, if his party won a majority of seats in scotland at this election. he claimed that future independence would allow scotland to re—join the european union. among other pledges, a commitment to end the two—child benefit cap and to abolish the house of lords. here's our scotland editor, james cook. applause. the snp leader, john swinney, promised independence would be front and centre of this manifesto, and it is. at the very heart of our beliefs is the principal that decisions

is the principle that decisions about scotland should be made by the people who live in scotland. not independence for its own sake. independence for the powers to protect our national health service and to help people through tough times. independence for a stronger economy and happier, healthier lives. it's ten years since scotland voted against independence in a referendum. mr swinney says so much has changed, it's time for another one. i think scotland should have a referendum to become independent. i think it's the democratic approach to do so, and that's what the people of scotland voted for in 2021. should or must? must. if someone really doesn't want independence but they like the look of your government, or your offer at this westminster election, should they vote for you? yes. so, how could this then be a mandate for independence if you're accepting that people might be voting on things other than independence? because what i've said to you earlier on is that this should be a mandate for the people of scotland to decide

on the question of independence as a stand—alone question, cos i think that's the way that issue should be resolved. north sea oil and climate change have played a big part in this campaign. in aberdeen, energy workers want to know is the snp in favour of new drilling or not? we can't escape the journey to net zero. it's got to be undertaken. and any application that comes forward for a new oil and gas activity has got to meet the climate compatibility assessments that we have in place. at the moment? yes. that's the way in which we willjudge. and they do meet them, quite a lot of them at the moment. so you're in favour of new drilling? what i'm saying is there has to be a climate compatibility assessment in place which is consistent with our journey to net zero. but there is. i'm giving you an answer to your question. if a new licence is to come forward, then individual licences have got to pass that climate compatibility assessment. the past year or so has not been a smooth ride for the snp. it has slumped in the polls and the changes of leader and a police investigation

into its finances. john swinney hopes a renewed focus on independence will get it back on track. james cook, bbc news, edinburgh. if that was the good news for rishi sunak today, it was quickly superceded by news that a police constable serving in his close protection team has been arrested for placing bets over the timing of the general election. the metropolitan police said the officer was taken into custody on monday in connection with an allegation of misconduct in a public office. he has since been bailed pending further inquiries. our political editor chris mason has the details. will get more on that shortly.

in 2018 donald trump went to singapore to meet the leader he'd dubbed �*the little rocket man'. in the months preceding that visit the rhetoric with north korea had been ramped up to to such an extent that the american base in guam was being put on high alert. but the summit in singapore brought a reprochement. for those of who were, i was one of them, there was an almost surreal atmosphere, in which the american side projected this idea, that north korea could one day what if a people that share a common and rich _ what if a people that share a common and rich heritage can find a common future? _ and rich heritage can find a common future? their story is well known. but what — future? their story is well known. but what will be there sql? —— there

sol _ but what will be there sql? —— there sol two _ but what will be there sql? —— there sql. two men, to leaders, one destiny — fast forward six years and the parades in pyongyang look nothing like the parades in orlando. gone is donald trump replaced by kimjung un�*s new friend vladimir putin, who is visiting north korea for the first time in 2a years. the alliance that donald trump had promised, sealed with a love letter, has disappeaed. replaced with a new axis that threatens to split the world in two. vladimir putin has been given the full red—carpet treament. an open top parade, and a commitment from kim jung un that his country will stand full square behind the russian military fighting in ukraine. the two leaders have signed a new security agreement today which seems to amount to a mutual defence act — whatever it is, it has the white house gravely concerned. translation: i would like to draw | your attention to the statement by j the us and other nato countries about the supply of high precision long—range weapon systems, f—16 aircraft and other high—tech weapons and equipment for inflicting attacks

on russian territory. in this regard, russia does not rule out developing the military technical cooperation with the democratic people's republic of korea according to the documents signed today. we've got some pictures of vladimir putin who has just arrived in we've got some pictures of vladimir putin who hasjust arrived in hanoi on the final stage of his trip abroad. you can see he's meeting dignitaries there on the runway. joining me now is dr sue kim, who is a former cia analyst on north korea and randy schriver, former assistant secretary of defense for asian and pacific security affairs under donald trump. he was at the us/north korea summit in singapore in 2018. welcome to you both. randy, maybe i can start with you first. you must

have reflected on these events today in the context of what happened in 2018. i'm not sure everyone ever believed north korea would open up in the way the trump administration suggested. we are so far from that, in fact the world seems to be splitting into two axes. thanks for havin: splitting into two axes. thanks for having me- _ splitting into two axes. thanks for having me. indeed, _ splitting into two axes. thanks for having me. indeed, in _ splitting into two axes. thanks for having me. indeed, in 2018- splitting into two axes. thanks for having me. indeed, in 2018 most| splitting into two axes. thanks for i having me. indeed, in 2018 most of us regarded — having me. indeed, in 2018 most of us regarded a breakthrough as low probability, but given the stakes, given— probability, but given the stakes, given the — probability, but given the stakes, given the risks, it was something worth— given the risks, it was something worth trying and president trump was the first— worth trying and president trump was the first to _ worth trying and president trump was the first to get the leader of north korea _ the first to get the leader of north korea to— the first to get the leader of north korea to sign up to certain commitments, previous agreements had been completed at lower levels. but yeah, _ been completed at lower levels. but yeah. the _ been completed at lower levels. but yeah, the ukraine conflict, vladimir puthre— yeah, the ukraine conflict, vladimir putin's unprovoked aggression has changed _ putin's unprovoked aggression has changed the strategic context to all of this— changed the strategic context to all of this and i think his trip to pyongyang cements the fact that we are moving into a different world where _ are moving into a different world where there is an axis, i would add,

makes sense for the two to come together at this stage because they need each other to further their own ambitions. this need each other to further their own ambitions. �* , . need each other to further their own ambitions. . , . , ., need each other to further their own ambitions. a . , ., . . i, ., ambitions. as a senior analyst on north korea. _ ambitions. as a senior analyst on north korea, i'm _ ambitions. as a senior analyst on north korea, i'm sure _ ambitions. as a senior analyst on north korea, i'm sure that - ambitions. as a senior analyst on north korea, i'm sure that you i ambitions. as a senior analyst on i north korea, i'm sure that you have looked at the way things move and what sort of material north korea is sending to the outside world. can you explain to us how the weapons, the ballistic missiles are being sent to russia, and in what quantities?— sent to russia, and in what quantities? sent to russia, and in what nuantities? ,, ., . , quantities? short. so we are seeing shiments quantities? short. so we are seeing shipments from _ quantities? short. so we are seeing shipments from north _ quantities? short. so we are seeing shipments from north korea - quantities? short. so we are seeing shipments from north korea to - shipments from north korea to russia. one of concern and of course that we would have is the connection between russia and north korea is such that it in the cases where the shipments are being sent from north korea into russia, how is the united states going to intercept them? a huge problem there where we can actually go into the country. we're looking at millions of artillery rounds, were also at assistance in

the form of short range ballistic missiles. but still, rushes at a point of desperation that it needs all the help that it gets and north korea of course is actually going to be able to get things in return, such as economic but more importantly and very sensitive of course, the critical technology to expand his sophisticated weapons programme. expand his sophisticated weapons programme-— expand his sophisticated weapons rouramme. i. . programme. right, ok. so you are in the camp that — programme. right, ok. so you are in the camp that the _ programme. right, ok. so you are in the camp that the russians _ programme. right, ok. so you are in the camp that the russians might - programme. right, ok. so you are in the camp that the russians might be | the camp that the russians might be exchanging materialfor the camp that the russians might be exchanging material for the spy satellite system, for the nuclear programme which is still not finished, and certainly the delivery mechanisms for those nuclear warheads. mechanisms for those nuclear warheads-_ mechanisms for those nuclear warheads. that is what we are fearin: warheads. that is what we are fearing at _ warheads. that is what we are fearing at this _ warheads. that is what we are fearing at this point, - warheads. that is what we are fearing at this point, becausel warheads. that is what we are | fearing at this point, because if you look at the impact it has, he would notjust be signing a defence pact which has far bigger implications, there has to be something that is of significance that kimjong—un

something that is of significance that kim jong—un would want from putin and that's what the next step do notjust wreak havoc in the region but of course be in a position to threaten the entirety of the us. i position to threaten the entirety of the us. ~ �* position to threaten the entirety of the us. ~' �* .,, position to threaten the entirety of the us. ~' �* . , the us. i think we've lost randy shriver, i _ the us. i think we've lost randy shriver, i was _ the us. i think we've lost randy shriver, i was going _ the us. i think we've lost randy shriver, i was going to - the us. i think we've lost randy shriver, i was going to ask - the us. i think we've lost randy shriver, i was going to ask him | the us. i think we've lost randy - shriver, i was going to ask him what sort of deterrent could be put in place. but of course these two countries are the most heavily sanctioned countries on earth anyway. and past bombing trains that leave north korea for russia, there's not an awful lot in the west can do to stop this, is there? we a- lied can do to stop this, is there? - applied sanctions on north korea as well as russia for its invasion against current. the question is whether or not they are actually being affected, big question mark there. decided to go against the... going to monitor north korea that not only has symbolic implications

but actually takes away the mechanism for us to monitor the situation. so we do need to apply sanctions and we have to apply pressure to north korea, china, russia and it has to be done in a way with a holistic policy and approach towards the countries and we are talking about conflict in eastern europe and one in the middle east, and in east asia there is so many way for them to bypass sanctions and screw the mechanisms that it becomes very very difficult unless we get the cooperation of the international community. dr unless we get the cooperation of the international community.— international community. dr kim, do ou think international community. dr kim, do you think there _ international community. dr kim, do you think there has _ international community. dr kim, do you think there has been _ international community. dr kim, do you think there has been a _ international community. dr kim, do you think there has been a shift - international community. dr kim, do you think there has been a shift in i you think there has been a shift in the power dynamic between these two? is the first time he has been there and for 2h years. in a way, and obviously it was the soviet union that put the kims in place. that's

sue kim, and thanks also to randy shriver who we lost earlier. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. let's look at some of the other stories making headlines today. the protest groupjust stop oil has targeted stonehenge in a stunt the day before summer solstice celebrations begin at the site. orange powder paint was sprayed on the ancient stone circle. wiltshire police have confirmed two people have been arrested. english heritage, who look after site said the incident was extremely upsetting. a seven—month—old baby girl has died after being bitten by the family's pet dog at a house in coventry. she was treated by paramedics at the scene before being taken to hospital where she died a short time later. police say the dog was not classed as a dangerous breed and was removed from the home the same day and humanely destroyed. spanish police and mountain rescue teams are continuing to search

for a teenagerfrom lancashire who went missing on monday after a music festival in tenerife. jay slater, who's 19, had called a friend that morning saying he had missed a bus and was planning to make the ten hour walk back to his apartment — but said his phone battery was low and he needed water. one of rishi sunak�*s police constables has been arrested for placing bets at the general election. metropolitan police of the officer was taken into custody on monday. he has since been bailed pending further inquiries. our political editor chris mason has the details.

bets — bets plural — on the timing of the general election. clearly there is at least a concern, a suspicion that the officer may have known more than was in the public domain at the time, and hence an investigation by the gambling commission and indeed by the metropolitan police. and if all of this has a splash of deja vu in your mind, as you think of all of the various bits of election noise and hullabaloo that have been washing around us in the last couple of weeks, you might remember the story that we brought to you last week, originally broken by the guardian and my colleaguejoe pike, catching up with craig williams, aid to the prime minister, who also acknowledged what he described aide to the prime minister, who also acknowledged what he described as a huge error ofjudgment, having himself put a bet on the timing of the general election. the context, of course, is that plenty of people is that plenty of people at westminster — i must admit, me included — were assuming the election was going to be in the autumn. it was a surprise to plenty of us that it was injuly,

but obviously, there are a handful of folk who might have known about it, and hence you get these kind of investigations. so we wait to see what the metropolitan police and the gambling commission say in this instance. but right now, a police officer suspended and under investigation. chris mason reporting a little earlier. rishi sunak has welcomed the latest figures showing that inflation has fallen to the bank of england's target of 2% for the first time in nearly three years. he said it was evidence the government's "difficult decisions" were paying off. labour has said the financial pressures on households are "still acute". the improved figures are down to a slight fall in the price of food and soft drinks — and slower price rises for household goods and furniture. but food prices on average are still 25% higher than they were in 2022, and petrol prices rose sharply. i'm joined now by ana andrade, the europe economist at bloomberg.

nice to see you, anna. does the government get credit for this? well, not really. the reason why inflation is back to target after being double digits last year, one of the reasons is the big fall in energy prices that we have been seeing since october, really, last year. and we've had another big fall in april, the energy prices fell by 12% and that's one reason. the other reason is food as well, so it's a lot of external things driving inflation down and it's not really up inflation down and it's not really up to the government. but it's good news nonetheless.— up to the government. but it's good news nonetheless. yeah, i take your oint that news nonetheless. yeah, i take your point that when _ news nonetheless. yeah, i take your point that when you're _ news nonetheless. yeah, i take your point that when you're blaming, - news nonetheless. yeah, i take your point that when you're blaming, as l point that when you're blaming, as they did, when inflation was at 11% some of the outside forces, you can't then readily claim the credit. that said, those same outside forces apply to other countries in the g7 and inflation is at the lowest in the uk with the exception of italy,

so the government must have done something right. i so the government must have done something right-— something right. i think one of the reasons why _ something right. i think one of the reasons why inflation _ something right. i think one of the reasons why inflation is _ something right. i think one of the reasons why inflation is so - something right. i think one of the reasons why inflation is so low - something right. i think one of thej reasons why inflation is so low and actually when you look at the us or other areas, the uk has been one of the major economies to actually get to target at 2%. i think one of the reasons is because of how the energy price works here. so we've had sort of a more mechanical decrease in energy prices that has fed through more evidently in the headline measure. where is in the euro area, thatis measure. where is in the euro area, that is happening that it takes more time, it is a lag defect, it's quite mechanical, it's quite automatic. that helps to explain. then if you look at services inflation and that sort of debate of the past, it is related to the domestic pressures of the economy, then if you look at the momentum and services inflation which is measured by the three months on three analysed rate, that is very similar to the euro area. so

in that sort of measure, this perfect persistence and inflation momentum is the same. what perfect persistence and inflation momentum is the same. what does the bank of momentum is the same. what does the itank of england — momentum is the same. what does the bank of england do _ momentum is the same. what does the bank of england do about _ momentum is the same. what does the bank of england do about this? - momentum is the same. what does the bank of england do about this? what i bank of england do about this? what matters to people watching is the cost of their mortgage, of course, the interest rates on their loans. do you think now that it's at 2%, the bank of england will move quickly? i the bank of england will move cuickl ? ~ , the bank of england will move cuickl ? ~' , ., ., quickly? i think they cannot ignore the headline _ quickly? i think they cannot ignore the headline inflation _ quickly? i think they cannot ignore the headline inflation is _ quickly? i think they cannot ignore the headline inflation is at - quickly? i think they cannot ignore the headline inflation is at 2%, - the headline inflation is at 2%, it's come a long way and it has seen enoughin it's come a long way and it has seen enough in the data that it leaves that more confidence that it can cut rates. we think our view is the bank of england will cut rates soon. we think tomorrow's meeting is not the live one because of the election, but we think that august might be the first time that the bank of england moves to cut rates. but then the question here is about the scale of the easing and how much of the rate cuts we will see this year. and then i go back to the bit about the

services inflation where it still persistent and the bank of england need to see a little bit more. it will start in august but it will probably only cut rates by 50 basis points, so that's in august and then in november. it is points, so that's in august and then in november-— in november. it is true, isn't it, that all the _ in november. it is true, isn't it, that all the western _ in november. it is true, isn't it, that all the western leaders - in november. it is true, isn't it, that all the western leaders are being punished for the rate of inflation? you see it and all the elections we have been reporting on. is that because, although we are starting to get closer to the target rate the inflation that we've had is baked in? if you look at food prices over the last three years they've gone up 25%, so when we talk about 2%, it's important to remember, isn't it, that actually wages have not risen to keep track of these prices and that's why people are feeling the squeeze. i prices and that's why people are feeling the squeeze.— feeling the squeeze. i think... actually come _ feeling the squeeze. i think... actually come in _ feeling the squeeze. i think... actually come in the - feeling the squeeze. i think... actually come in the uk, - feeling the squeeze. i think... actually come in the uk, just | feeling the squeeze. i think... i actually come in the uk, just to say, private sector wages and whole economy wages actually caught up now to real wages, we have recovered. there was a hit last year but we sort of have recovered so households

have sort of regained purchasing power compared to before the energy crisis. i think it went households and voters are thinking it's not about that. they tend to look at inflation more than they tend to look at actually their wages, and what they are going to think about is that prices are higher by 20% since, you know, the pandemic, since 2019, actually, since the last election. and the interesting thing is, when you look at the living standards... improved at the lowest pace on record under the conservatives during the past government. i'm sorry, so that's what voters will be voting on. you've done brilliantly. ltrrul’ith what voters will be voting on. you've done brilliantly. with that call. you've done brilliantly. with that all sorry- _ you've done brilliantly. with that all sorry- l'm — you've done brilliantly. with that call. sorry. i'm sorry— you've done brilliantly. with that call. sorry. i'm sorry that - you've done brilliantly. with that call. sorry. i'm sorry that we - call. sorry. i'm sorry that we -ushed call. sorry. i'm sorry that we pushed you _ call. sorry. i'm sorry that we pushed you right _ call. sorry. i'm sorry that we pushed you right to - call. sorry. i'm sorry that we pushed you right to the - call. sorry. i'm sorry that we pushed you right to the end, call. sorry. i'm sorry that we - pushed you right to the end, thank you so much for coming on the programme. the europe editorfor bloomberg. we will talk plenty more of course about inflation, about the

snp manifesto with our panel at nine o'clock this evening. but the other side of the break, really interesting stories particularly news today from the vna, the museum here in london, that naomi campbell has her own show, it's a celebration of the supermodel naomi campbell, so we'll talk a little about that with one of the fashion journalist who has some really interesting thoughts on what she's done for fashion over the years since she first burst onto the years since she first burst onto the stage aged 15. we will take a short break, we'll be back right after this. short break, we'll be back right afterthis. do short break, we'll be back right after this. do you stay with us. hello. thanks forjoining me. it's been a fine day for most of us, feeling a little warmer, too. those temperatures have been rising in the last few days. the weather settling down, a clear evening on the way. skies a little hazy in places. in fact, if we look at the satellite picture from earlier on, you can see also a weather front very close to our

neighbourhood here. and that may keep things cloudy and damp, at least for a time this evening and overnight in the northwest of the uk, but the evening, not particularly cold. eight o'clock, we will have had temperatures around 15 in the lowlands of scotland, 18 or 19 in the south. and also, what's particularly high are the pollen levels across england, wales, northern ireland, too — not quite so high further north in scotland. so, the forecast, then — for the nights, generally clear across most of england, wales, much of northern ireland, too, but then later on in the night, western and southwestern scotland and the north of northern ireland could be damp. not particularly cold, although outside of town centres temperatures could dip to single figures. the forecast for tomorrow, then, lots of sunshine right from the word go, but then i think the clouds will bubble up, in places, the skies will also be hazy and maybe cloudy at times here in the northwest. again, a few spits and spots of rain possible with the weather fronts close by. but every bit as warm, temperatures in the low 20s in the south — pushing 20 degrees in the northeast

of england as well. now, the forecast into friday, then. now, admittedly, a bit of a blip on the way. this weather front approaches from the atlantic, and that does spell thick cloud and the possibility of some rain across ireland, eventually around the irish sea into western and northern scotland. but the further east you are and the further south, the brighter, if not sunnier, the weather will be on friday. and these are southerly winds, so these temperatures could creep up a little further — 23 in london and into the low 20s expected across northern england. a little bit cooler out towards the west here, remember, where we have that weather front. the weather front will fall apart, and then, as we head through the course of the weekend, high pressure will start building across the uk. light winds, generally bright if not sunny weather. so, here's the outlook for the weekend and into next week when that real warming trend will begin. we could even see temperatures approaching the high 20s. it's been on the cool side recently. now, it could turn a little too warm for some. bye— bye.

hello, i'm christian fraser. you're watching the context on bbc news. fears of a new war in the middle east between israel and hezbollah. the israeli military says its approved plans 'for an offensive in lebanon'.

we will get to that shortly but it is a big night of sport and for a full round—up, from the bbc sport centre, here's paul scott. thank you very much. starting at the euros and scotland are in action in a crucial match in group a. following a heavy defeat on the opening day, they need to get something from their game against switzerland in cologne. they've played around half an hour, it's1—1. scott mctominay�*s effort deflecting in off fabian schar after 13 minutes. a mistake from anthony ralston lead to xherdan shaqiri scoring from distance. they have played 31 minutes exactly. it's 1-1. and it they have played 31 minutes exactly. it's1—1. and it all to play for. hosts germany made it two wins from two matches as they saw off hungary 2—0 in stuttgart. germany scored the opener after 22 minutes.

good persistence from ilkay gundogan, who pulled it back
