:04:33. > :04:34.bottle money, as it were, and it's not there now, you have to fit

:05:12. > :05:15.said he would do whatever it takes. We are trying to protect jobs and
:05:16. > :05:19.economic growth, and the measures that have been taken today are
:05:20. > :05:24.designed to ensure that any increase in unemployment as a result of the
:05:25. > :05:29.economic slowdown is kept to the minimum. For the Bank of England,
:05:30. > :05:34.the big question - will this package work? Yes, the interest rate cut is
:05:35. > :05:37.modest. The stimulus relatively small. But Mark Carney has offered
:05:38. > :05:43.himself as a one man confidence indicator, and for the economy,
:05:44. > :05:48.confidence is important. While others fiddle, here is some action.
:05:49. > :05:52.We had to wait seven years for this interest rate cut, but we may not
:05:53. > :05:58.have to wait as long for the next one. The bank is already looking at
:05:59. > :05:59.cutting rates again, to 0.1%, a new historic low, as we digest the

:06:52. > :06:56.are not doing so well. It is terrible when people are losing
:06:57. > :07:02.jobs. That is people's livelihood. But I think we all need to be a bit

:07:07. > :07:12.Hopefully, the economy will turn around and we welcome at other side.

:08:00. > :08:06.to invest money in property or business. And it is the best time to
:08:07. > :08:10.buy a house. Construction is an important part of the UK economy,

:08:19. > :08:24.flow so that they can carry on building. For developer Tim, the
:08:25. > :08:28.promise of economic stimulus is key, as long as the money does reach
:08:29. > :08:33.them. We can't continue to build unless the banks are there to
:08:34. > :08:37.support us as an industry. We clearly want to build as many houses
:08:38. > :08:42.as we can. These brand-new streets will not be finished for another 18

:09:01. > :09:05.What we have seen today is a big, confidence boosting measure, as far
:09:06. > :09:13.as the bank felt it could go and a lot further than many thought. Mark
:09:14. > :09:20.Carney also said he wants to make Brexit a success, or do what he can
:09:21. > :09:24.to make it a success. So I think he is saying, don't panic, the economy
:09:25. > :09:29.might be slowing, but we have got the tools to help the economy grow.
:09:30. > :09:33.But I think actually, we are only seeing half the picture. The bank
:09:34. > :09:38.only controls parts of the economy. It is now down to the Government,
:09:39. > :09:44.and what are they going to do to shore up the economy if this growth
:09:45. > :09:50.problem gets worse? That will be things like taxes and spending and
:09:51. > :09:53.whether they are going to borrow more or give go-ahead is too big

:21:29. > :21:31.beaches - carried by Tomorrow night it will be carried
:21:32. > :21:34.into the Olympic stadium Team GB - who'll be led
:21:35. > :21:38.in by Andy Murray - are hoping to win 48 medals in Rio -
:21:39. > :21:42.that's not as many as London - but it would still make
:21:43. > :21:44.Rio Britain's most Our Sports Correspondent Andy Swiss
:21:45. > :21:50.has been looking at their chances. 28 different sports,
:21:51. > :21:53.one common goal. After weeks of preparing,
:21:54. > :21:56.the time for training With one day to go, Team GB
:21:57. > :22:02.is starting to gather in Rio, including their flag bearer,
:22:03. > :22:05.an honour that caught Andy Murray I was just getting into
:22:06. > :22:12.bed at about 11:15 pm. Um, our team leader came
:22:13. > :22:18.and I was speechless really. For the team as a whole,
:22:19. > :22:26.the challenge is to follow this. The success at London 2012 is set
:22:27. > :22:31.in the gold standard So, what should we expect
:22:32. > :22:37.from Team GB here in Brazil? London was the best Games for more
:22:38. > :22:39.than a century. Here, their target is
:22:40. > :22:44.a little more modest. That still would make
:22:45. > :22:49.it their best overseas Games, beating the 47 medals they won
:22:50. > :22:53.in Beijing eight years ago. It is really unusual
:22:54. > :22:56.for a team to do really Some of them have really
:22:57. > :23:00.slumped in the past. To have the best away Games ever
:23:01. > :23:06.after a home Games like that in London would be
:23:07. > :23:10.an outstanding result for us. The key could be a crop
:23:11. > :23:15.of new stars, like World Champion Adam Peaty in the swimming,
:23:16. > :23:19.sailor Giles Scott, who's lost just once in three years,
:23:20. > :23:23.and Katerina Johnson-Thompson, challenger Jessica Ennis-Hill
:23:24. > :23:33.for heptathlon gold. I still do admire her and respect
:23:34. > :23:36.everything she has achieved, so it can't be a rivalry
:23:37. > :23:38.in that respect. I never thought our careers
:23:39. > :23:42.would cross paths. It's a bit weird, going
:23:43. > :23:44.for the gold. It will be good for Great Britain,
:23:45. > :23:47.getting two medals in some capacity. Our athletes are an inspiration
:23:48. > :23:49.to us all. For the team today,
:23:50. > :23:51.a message of royal support. Topping 2012 might be a step too far
:23:52. > :23:59.but it is time for Team GB to live It's called the i360 - this
:24:00. > :24:10.is Brighton's new vertical pier. Towering more than 500 feet
:24:11. > :24:12.above the seafront - it's been built by the same team
:24:13. > :24:16.who created the London Eye - and today it opened to the public
:24:17. > :24:19.for the first time today. Duncan Kennedy has been taking
:24:20. > :24:35.in the views, Duncan. Good evening from 450 feet. Look at
:24:36. > :24:39.the views we are getting from this sort of height. In the background
:24:40. > :24:43.you might be able to make out the Brighton Pier. This whole project
:24:44. > :24:47.has taken 12 years to come to fruition. Although this tower has
:24:48. > :24:54.its critics, up here, it is a different world.
:24:55. > :25:03.It only opened today but it is being called everything from the people's
:25:04. > :25:08.hold to the chimney stack. It is the i360 and today it took off. It is
:25:09. > :25:14.incredible. You can see so much more than I thought you could see. The
:25:15. > :25:25.temp Ahas a giant pod taking 200 people soaring above Brighton. What
:25:26. > :25:30.do you think? Unbelievable. Amazing. What a day! Stunning! Brilliant.
:25:31. > :25:37.Really nice. It costs ?13 for adults and seven for children. Visitors
:25:38. > :25:43.rising to 450 feet. It is so high it takes seven minutes just to get up
:25:44. > :25:48.here. When you are here, what a few exclamation that you can seek
:25:49. > :25:54.distances up to 26 miles away. -- what a view! This is the world's
:25:55. > :26:00.tallest, moving observation tower. Built by the same people who created
:26:01. > :26:09.the London eye, it took 16 years to make this vertical vision a reality.
:26:10. > :26:13.This is the loving little brother of the London Eye. The same DNA, the
:26:14. > :26:15.same kind of experience but a different pupils to if you have
:26:16. > :26:23.experienced one,, never look at another. Others view this and less
:26:24. > :26:30.polite terms saying it is an upended pier and an unwanted intrusion.
:26:31. > :26:34.Isn't it vile! Isn't it a disgusting insult to the heritage you can see
:26:35. > :26:38.surrounding us as we stand here. Something which is little more than
:26:39. > :26:45.an industrial chimney plonked on the beach. The i360 may be an eyesore to
:26:46. > :26:47.somebody's is his eye watering to others. A giant stick of Brighton
:26:48. > :27:03.Rock reaching for the skies. The skies look pretty clear in
:27:04. > :27:08.Brighton today. A great day for the opening. Not bad for most of us this
:27:09. > :27:12.evening. A few showers around. Tomorrow there will be more sunshine
:27:13. > :27:16.on the way for the a dry day was a nice picture from North Yorkshire.
:27:17. > :27:19.Some sunshine and Fairweather cloud. On the satellite picture, this is
:27:20. > :27:23.where the shower clouds have been. Speckled right across the country,
:27:24. > :27:27.there have been quite a few pulled up some of us have had to run for
:27:28. > :27:35.cover. There have been some heavy ones here and there. They are in the
:27:36. > :27:38.process of dying away. The skies were clear and the winds will fall
:27:39. > :27:40.light and the two bridges will dip away. In Scotland these are the city
:27:41. > :27:43.temperatures. In Scotland it could be close to freezing in the
:27:44. > :27:50.sheltered, Scottish blends. Tomorrow starts quite bright and fresh across
:27:51. > :27:56.Scotland. -- Scottish blends. One or two showers around in Scotland and
:27:57. > :28:00.some pesky ones in Yorkshire. Into the 20s in the south and upper teens
:28:01. > :28:03.in the north. Friday evening is looking fine as well put things will
:28:04. > :28:08.change that bit over the weekend. High pressure just about gets into
:28:09. > :28:11.the UK temporarily. Look at that area of low pressure. It was it
:28:12. > :28:16.across the country during the course of Saturday night and into Sunday.
:28:17. > :28:20.Low pressure with a lot of white lines and isobars mean strong winds.
:28:21. > :28:29.Gale force winds getting into the north-west of our neighbourhood.
:28:30. > :28:31.Some rain as well. A big contrast across England and sunshine. The
:28:32. > :28:35.south-western coasts could turn a little on the cloudy side. The winds
:28:36. > :28:39.will increase. Northern England northwards, that is where it will be
:28:40. > :28:43.blustery. Further south, breezy as well. It should be a fine day down
:28:44. > :28:45.south. I do not want to paint a picture of too much doom and gloom.
:28:46. > :28:51.The weekend is not looking that bad.
