Paddleboard firm owner's appeal bid over sentence for four deaths fails 6 minutes ago Share Save Add as preferred on Google BBC A former paddleboard firm owner has been refused permission to appeal against her sentence over the deaths of four people on a river in south west Wales. Paul O'Dwyer, Andrea Powell, Morgan Rogers and Nicola Wheatley died after paddleboarding in "extremely hazardous conditions" on the Western Cleddau river in Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire in October 2021 . Nerys Bethan Lloyd, 39, an ex-police officer from Port Talbot, pleaded guilty to gross negligence manslaughter in March 2025 and was jailed for 10 years and six months. Three Appeal Court judges rejected David Elias KC's submissions that the sentence was "manifestly excessive". Lady Justice May told the court they found the trial judge's approach to have been proportionate given the number of victims. At the sentencing in April, the court heard Lloyd was unqualified to lead a paddleboard tour of this kind. Neither Lloyd nor co-instructor O'Dwyer were qualified to lead the tour, and Mrs Justice Stacey criticised the "abysmal" approach to health and safety. Citing Lloyd's police and RNLI training, the judge said she "knew better", although acknowledged she was "horrified" at what happened. The group of seven participants, led by Lloyd and O'Dwyer, set off after 09:00 BST on 30 October 2021. Three particpants died along with O'Dwyer.

Science Jun 4, 2026 6:28 PM EDT Scientists around the world are warning a strong El NiΓ±o this year, colloquially dubbed a super El NiΓ±o, could lead to extreme weather events β from heavy rainfall to exacerbated droughts. READ MORE: The U.S. smashed heat records in March. Just wait for El NiΓ±o this summer The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration predicted last month there's an 82% chance of El NiΓ±o emerging between May and July. The United Nation's World Meteorological Organization agrees, saying there's a 90% chance El NiΓ±o will continue until at least November. Grow your mind Subscribe to our Science Newsletter to explore the wide worlds of science, health and technology. "The world must treat it as the urgent climate warning it is," said U.N. Secretary-General AntΓ³nio Guterres in a video statement . "El NiΓ±o conditions will pour fuel on the fire of a warming world. Impacts will hit even harder, travel even further and cross borders with devastating speed." The last El NiΓ±o event happened in 2023 and 2024 and "was one of the five strongest on record," according to World Meteorological Organization Secretary-General Celeste Saulo. Those years were marked by record high global temperatures, severe droughts and intense cyclones. Here's what to know about the weather phenomenon. What is El NiΓ±o? Trade winds usually push warm water in the Pacific Ocean from South America to Asia. During El NiΓ±o, the trade winds are weaker and the Pacific's warm water moves toward the Americas instead. El NiΓ±o is "the warm phase of a natural seesaw in the equatorial Pacific sea surface temperatures," said Robert Burgman, an atmospheric science professor at Florida International University. South American fishermen in the 1600s gave the weather pattern its name: El NiΓ±o, "the little boy" in Spanish, was a reference to baby Jesus. Every few years, the fishermen noticed warm waters around Christmas time. There's also an opposing weather pattern known as La NiΓ±a. Strong trade winds push more warm water to Asia while pushing even colder water to the Pacific coast of the Americas. What happens during El NiΓ±o? El NiΓ±o events tend to last for several months. They make "normally dry places wet and normally wet places dry," said Paul Roundy, professor of atmospheric and environmental sciences at the State University of New York at Albany. The weather pattern usually takes place every few years and tends to intensify in the fall, peaking in the winter, said Bob Henson, a meteorologist and journalist with Yale Climate Connections. In the U.S., El NiΓ±o's effects are often divided between the North and South. From fall to spring, the southern U.S. can see inc

Tube strike usage higher than Tuesday, TfL says 5 minutes ago Share Save Add as preferred on Google Amy Clarke London Reuters RMT members will carry out today's strike from 00:01 to 23:59 BST Journeys across London using public transport on Thursday during the latest day of strike action by drivers were at 86% of their usual levels, according to Transport for London (TfL). Figures based on Oyster and contactless data show mixed trends compared with the same day last year: London Underground travel was down 43%, while use of the London Overground rose 12%, the Elizabeth line increased 18%, and the Docklands Light Railway (DLR) saw a 9% rise. RMT members walked out over plans for a voluntary 35-hour, four-day week for drivers. TfL said about 60% of Tube drivers reported for duty on Thursday morning, slightly up on Tuesday. Staffing levels varied by line, with 91% of Jubilee line drivers at work, along with 80% on the Bakerloo and 75% on the Metropolitan line. The RMT said its previous strike on Tuesday "was strongly supported by RMT members with well attended picket lines at Tube stations and depots". London Tube strikes: What you need to know A TfL spokesperson apologised for the disruption. "We have committed, a number of times and in a number of ways, including in writing before this most recent industrial action, to these proposals being voluntary. "Any suggestion otherwise is misleading the public in order to justify strike action over proposals that would give Tube drivers more time off and create a more modern, efficient Tube service. "Despite the strike, we are still running services across most lines, and a good service has operated on the Jubilee line for much of the day. "More drivers have come to work today than on Tuesday, and we will continue to do all we can to provide as much service as possible."

A container ship at the Port of Los Angeles in May as fresh tariff disruption looms. Photograph: Mario Tama/Getty Images View image in fullscreen A container ship at the Port of Los Angeles in May as fresh tariff disruption looms. Photograph: Mario Tama/Getty Images Trump threatens tariffs on 60 trading partners including UK and Canada over βforced labourβ Proposal for 10-12.5% levies, to also include EU, Taiwan and Australia, would allow US president to skirt court-imposed limits Donald Trump has threatened tariffs of between 10% and 12.5% on 60 trading partners including the UK, the EU and Australia over alleged forced labour failures, in the latest attempt to revive his signature trade policy. The EU immediately hit back, saying it expected the US to respect the tariff deal it entered into last July and arguing that stealth tariffs breached the spirit of that agreement. The proposed levies on partners accused of allowing imports of goods produced by workers under coercion come after the US supreme court ruled in February that the presidentβs βliberation dayβ tariffs were illegal. Trump responded by imposing 10% across-the-board tariffs, but last month the US trade court found those were also unlawful , although they remain in place during the appeal process. The latest proposal for tariffs on the grounds of forced labour, which would affect major partners including Canada, Japan, Norway, Taiwan and China, would enable Trump to skirt those previous court-imposed limits on his protectionist agenda. They come as the US threatens to impose fresh levies of 25% on Brazil . The US trade representative, Jamieson Greer, said: βThe failure of our most important trading partners to address the importation of goods made with forced labor is unacceptable. This creates a dynamic where American workers are forced to compete globally on an unlevel playing field. We will no longer tolerate this disparity.β The threat of fresh tariff disruption will unsettle trading partners, including Keir Starmer, who have fought hard to build trust with Trump and to contain the cost of trading with his unpredictable administration. Experts had predicted that Trump, who has been obsessed with tariffs as a tool of national economic security for decades, would try to find a way around the supreme court ruling in February. At the time he threatened to use tariffs in a βmuch more powerful and obnoxious wayβ with at least six other legal routes to punish those countries he judged perilous to the US economy. The latest tariffs are a result of investigations into the labour laws of 60 trading partners using section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974. According to a 98-page report on that investigation, βonly Canada, Ecuador, the European Union , Indonesia, Mexico, and Pakistan have not failed to impose a forced labor import prohibitionβ. However, the White House judged Canada to be failing to enforce its laws, while in the EU the across-the-board ban on imports of goods using forced labou

The OECD says Australia should respond to the global oil shock by accelerating our uptake of electric vehicles and renewable energy. The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Developmentβs chief economist, Stefano Scarpetta , recognised that governments had a variety of ways they could ease the strain of soaring fuel costs, particularly for the most vulnerable households. βBut this crisis also demonstrates that the need to wean our economies off the dependency on fossil fuel imports is increasingly urgent,β he said. The Paris-based organisation, commonly referred to as the club of rich countries, pointed out that Australia among its member nations is βparticularlyβ reliant on diesel. But in contrast to the Coalitionβs call to expand oil and gas production, the OECD said: double quotation mark Australiaβs vulnerability to fuel supply disruptions underlines the case for accelerating progress with electric vehicle adoption and renewables generation, with improved grid links and increased storage capacity. The OECD also backed doing more to encourage the supply of new homes in well-located areas. The report said: double quotation mark Other needed policies, such as easing restrictive land-use regulation, especially in urban areas, could also help to curb fuel consumption and improve energy security, while at the same time boosting productivity growth and addressing affordability challenges. The OECD predicted higher inflation and βslightlyβ slower economic growth for Australia in this year and the next as a result of βthe evolving Middle East conflictβ.
0:53 Moment rescuers pull out second Laos cave survivor β video Four more men freed from flooded Laos cave in hazardous rescue mission Two still missing as divers make their way deeper into cave through muddy water and sharp rocks to find them Four more miners who were trapped in a flooded cave in Laos for 10 days have been freed by divers, but two people are still missing as rescuers continue to crawl through narrow, deluged tunnels and sharp rocks to find them. The first of the party of seven men was rescued on Friday in a perilous rescue mission which has required teams to drain water from the cave and navigate collapse hazards. The four men who were extracted on Saturday were found crouched and huddled together on a rocky ledge inside a chamber about 300 metres (980ft) from the cave entrance on Wednesday, but rescuers were unable to immediately evacuate them.

Photograph: Association Of Volunteers For Lao People/AP The search for the remaining two missing people is continuing, with international diving teams β including some who worked on the dramatic rescue of a young Thai football team β crawling and twisting through muddy water in narrow passageways and poor visibility in an attempt to locate them. It is thought the men entered the cave last week to look for valuable minerals such as gold ore before being trapped by flash flooding caused by heavy rain, which carried in sand and gravel, blocking a crucial exit. Rescuers supplied the party of five they found on Wednesday with water, soft food and foil blankets to keep them warm while they remained inside the cave. View image in fullscreen Rescuers go through their plan on Friday before evacuating the first of five villagers who had been trapped in a cave, seen in the back, in Laos. Photograph: Benz Norrased Palasing Seascout Diving/AP The first man to be rescued was captured on camera emerging from the cave on Friday, covered in mud and walking unsteadily. As rescuers cheered and helped him to move away from the cave entrance, he cried out in pain and one rescuer could be heard warning others to be careful because his hands were injured. βThe first one is out. Safe and sound!!!β wrote Manat Artmongkron, a rescue technician for Saithan Saphanboon Foundation, a Thai rescue group, in a jubilant Facebook post. On Saturday, a second man was filmed slowly climbing out of a narrow entrance to the cave. He stood shakily and smiled as his rescuers wrapped him in a foil blanket. Lao and Thai rescue groups posted photos on social media of the men lying on stretchers, wearing oxygen masks and being wrapped in foil blankets after the successful rescue operation. Thai rescuer Kengkaj Bongkawong, of the Metta Tham Rescue Kalasin, said rescuers faced βissues with the temperature, narrow areas, control of movement, and managing the panic of the survivorβ while they were diving.

Photograph: WPA/Getty Images No 10 confirms Starmerβs WhatsApp messages automatically delete Spokesperson says function is in line with official guidance as scrutiny of papers relating to Peter Mandelson continues UK politics live β latest updates Keir Starmerβs WhatsApp messages automatically delete from his smartphone, Downing Street has confirmed, calling into question how full a picture emerged of his role in the appointment of Peter Mandelson from a recently released tranche of government documents . Asked at a briefing whether Starmer uses the function on his WhatsApp messages, the prime ministerβs spokesperson said he βdoes use disappearing messagesβ, adding that this was in line with official guidance on the use of so-called non-corporate communications. On Monday, the government released nearly 1,500 pages of emails, messages and other documents about Mandelsonβs appointment as ambassador to Washington, in response to a Conservative motion in the House of Commons seeking transparency on the decision. Within the documents there were relatively few messages directly from Starmer, although this is also because most correspondence with prime ministers takes places via their officials. The only WhatsApp messages between Mandelson and Starmer were a handful just before and just after the 2024 general election. Asked if there had been others lost as a result of disappearing messages β Mandelson declined to pass on information from his phone β the spokesperson said only that Starmer had provided all the information required. βThe prime minister has fully complied with the humble address by providing all the information he holds as required. βYou have seen messages from Peter Mandelson to the PM in this tranche, that is alongside multiple references via the prime ministerβs private office, which is the standard and established route for communicating prime ministerial decisions and handling correspondence.β Cabinet Office guidance on messaging systems such as WhatsApp, states that disappearing messages, which vanish after a period of time set by the user, βhave a role in limiting the buildup of messages on devicesβ and can therefore be used. βYou must ensure that any such use does not impact on your record-keeping or transparency responsibilities,β the guidance continues. Under wider rules for ministers and officials, this involves screenshotting or otherwise recording messages relevant to policy or decisions, but not other content, for example gossip. The government previously announced a review into how the rules for preserving messages operate. Starmer and Mandelson are not close, and the limited WhatsApp messages shown in the released files show generall

U.S. employers posted 7.6 million job vacancies in April, the Labor Department reported Tuesday, up from 6.9 million in March and most since May 2024. Economists had forecast just 6.8 million openings. The department's Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS) showed that layoffs fell but so did the number of Americans quitting their jobs - a sign of confidence in their prospects. And the report's measure of gross hiring also dropped in April, suggesting that companies remain reluctant to add new workers even as they hold on to the ones they have.

Big tax refunds β the product of President Donald Trump's sweeping tax cut bill last year β have given the economy a lift this year, offsetting the impact of sharply higher energy prices since the United States and Israel attacked Iran Feb. 28. But the refunds have mostly been paid out and are fading as an economic booster. READ MORE: U.S. job openings largely unchanged in March despite Iran conflict The United States also doesn't need as many new jobs as it used to. Trump's immigration crackdown and Baby Boomer retirements mean that fewer people are competing for work. As a result, the so-called break-even point β the number of new jobs needed every month to keep the unemployment rate stable β has dropped to near zero from 155,000 a month two or three years ago, according to an April report by Federal Reserve economists Seth Murray and Ivan Vidangos. On Friday, the Labor Department will issue its job report for May. The numbers are expected to show that employers added 100,000 jobs last month, according to a survey of forecasters by the data firm FactSet. The unemployment rate is expected to have stayed at a low 4.3%. A free press is a cornerstone of a healthy democracy. Support trusted journalism and civil dialogue. Donate now

Photograph: Louisa Gouliamaki/Reuters EU accused of creating ICE-style immigration enforcement system Officials say law will improve migration management by allowing more deportations of undocumented people EU politicians have promised to increase deportations of undocumented migrants, under a new law that critics say mimics elements of the Trump administrationβs brutal immigration crackdown. Finalising a key element of an overhauled EU asylum and migration system, politicians have agreed a regulation that will enable national authorities to raid peopleβs homes to enforce deportation orders. People facing a deportation order who are deemed to be uncooperative or a flight risk could be detained for up to two years, extendable to 30 months, compared with the 18-month detention period under existing law. Those who refuse to comply with a deportation order could have benefits or other allowances cut. The regulation will also enable the creation of offshore return hubs, centres outside the EU where undocumented people would be held for unspecified periods, pending return to their home country. Several EU countries are in talks with countries, mostly in Africa, to create return hubs, although no agreements have been announced. The text agreed in three-way talks on Monday between the main EU institutions β the European Council, the European parliament and European Commission β will enable the search of peopleβs homes βor other relevant premisesβ and seizure of personal belongings in order to ensure compliance with a deportation order. Detention will be permitted for unaccompanied minors and families with children, βas a measure of last resortβ and βfor the shortest appropriate period taking into account the best interests of the childβ, said a press release from the European parliament. People deemed a security risk could face a lifetime ban on entering the EU, in comparison with the current 10-year maximum ban. The EU hopes the measures will increase deportations of people denied the right to asylum, those who have overstayed their visa or have no residency rights. Currently only about 20% of people with no right to stay in the EU are successfully returned to their home countries. EU officials hailed the law as an important step in the blocβs migration management. βWith the new rules, we have more control over who can come to the EU, who can stay and who needs to leave,β said Magnus Brunner, the European commissioner for migration, who drafted the original proposals .

Image source, Getty Images Image caption, Lewis Hamilton has won three times at the Monaco Grand Prix - in 2008 with McLaren and 2016 and 2019 with Mercedes Published 5 minutes ago The European leg of the 2026 Formula 1 season begins with round six at the Monaco Grand Prix this weekend. Teenager Kimi Antonelli holds a 43-point advantage over Mercedes team-mate George Russell at the top of the drivers' championship following his fourth consecutive win of the campaign in Canada two weeks ago. Before the race in Monte Carlo, BBC Sport F1 correspondent Andrew Benson answers your latest questions. Why is the Monaco Grand Prix expected to suit Ferrari more than McLaren, Mercedes or Red Bull? - Andrew Mercedes have dominated the 2026 season so far, winning all the grands prix from pole position. The only time they have beaten to either the front of the grid or a victory was in the sprint in Miami, when Lando Norris took pole and the win for McLaren. The reason Monaco has been identified as a place where that run may end, particularly in favour of Ferrari, is to do with car, engine and driver characteristics. Monaco is the least power-sensitive track on the calendar. In other words, it is the track where cornering performance - particularly at low and medium-speed - is most important, and engine power least. The Ferrari car this year has proved to be quick in the corners, arguably the fastest. That's good for Monaco. Meanwhile, its engine has both strengths and weaknesses. It has good low-speed pick-up, hence their good starts, but lacks top-end power. Again, good for Monaco, where a responsive engine is a benefit, and top-end power is relatively less important. As for the drivers, Charles Leclerc is an ace around Monaco. In the past six years, he has qualified on pole three times, been second on the grid twice and third once. Lewis Hamilton has also traditionally excelled at Monaco, and is in much better form this year after his struggles in 2024 and 2025. He and Leclerc are tied 4-4 in their qualifying head to head this season, and Leclerc has an average advantage of only 0.037 seconds. Add all that together, and it's easy to see why Ferrari are fancied for a potential win this year. Having said that, performance is performance. Ferrari's average deficit to Mercedes in qualifying this year is 0.447 seconds, and that's a big margin to make up just on a swing of characteristics. And it would be unwise to rule out McLaren and Red Bull. The McLaren was quick in Miami, and has proved particularly good in low-speed corners this year. And Lando Norris won in Monaco from pole last year. While Max Verstappen is outstanding always. It could be the closest weekend of the year so far.

Published 16 minutes ago The fallout from England's Ashes loss means the home summer arrives with more intrigue and questions than any other in recent memory. The series against New Zealand and Pakistan Γ’ΒΒ starting with the first Test against the Black Caps at Lord's on Thursday Γ’ΒΒ carry more significance than they might if results had gone well. In 2014, I was part of the side that returned home with our tails between our legs after losing 5-0 to Mitchell Johnson and co. It was the end of the road for that team as we knew it Γ’ΒΒ it was clear there was going to be a seismic shift. Andy Flower stood down as head coach and Kevin Pietersen never played for England again. Tim Bresnan, Chris Tremlett and Monty Panesar all never wore the whites for England beyond that point. This time there has not been a high-profile sacking, or wholesale changes of players. It's been more a shuffling of the pack and a slap on the wrist. Opener Zak Crawley is the most high-profile casualty. He definitely has the talent to play international cricket again, but I wonder whether he would benefit from dropping into the middle order to make the most of the obvious strengths in his ability. While there has been a simple switch in the batting order Γ’ΒΒ Crawley replaced by Emilio Gay Γ’ΒΒ there are as many as eight frontline bowling options in the 15-man squad, including captain Ben Stokes. It is a curiously large squad for the first Test of the summer, especially after England have had so much time to make their plans Γ’ΒΒ almost five months since the Ashes ended. As a player, I always preferred limiting the amount of deliberation inside my head in the build-up to a Test. Quite often, I'd be part of a 12-man squad and knew I was competing with one person Γ’ΒΒ usually Tremlett, Bresnan or Graham Onions Γ’ΒΒ for the final bowling spot in the XI. It meant we all knew our chances of playing in the build-up to a Test. I'm not privy to the conversations that have been had within the current set-up, but the naming of such a large squad suggests a certain amount of uncertainty. England squad for first Test against New Zealand: Ben Stokes, Rehan Ahmed, Gus Atkinson, Sonny Baker, Shoaib Bashir, Jacob Bethell, Harry Brook, Ben Duckett, Matthew Fisher, Emilio Gay, James Rew, Ollie Robinson, Joe Root, Jamie Smith, Josh Tongue. Image source, Getty Images Image caption, After his return to the England squad, Ollie Robinson was described as "one of the best bowlers in the world" by England director of cricket Rob Key England made no secrets about their Ashes gameplan: hit Australia with hostile pace and try to make them uncomfortable. What transpired down under was a more nuanced set of conditions, far more akin to what we would expect in the UK. The sight of an Australian bowling attack using a wicketkeeper stood up to the stumps for two of their seam bowlers tells you everything you need to know. The best teams I played in had bowlers who fulfilled specific roles. Right now, the England att

Dua Lipa marries Callum Turner in low-key London ceremony 9 minutes ago Share Save Add as preferred on Google Lauren Turner BBC News Getty Images The pair, seen here last year at the Met Gala, reportedly plan to throw a three-day party in Sicily at the end of next week Pop star Dua Lipa has married actor Callum Turner in a low-key ceremony. The couple, who have been together for more than two years, tied the knot at Old Marylebone Town Hall in London on Sunday. Photographs showed Lipa in a white skirt suit , with a wide-brimmed hat and matching white gloves and high heels, while Turner wore a dark blue suit. The event appeared to be intimate, with a small group of family and friends throwing confetti as the couple walked down the stairs of the building hand-in-hand. Lipa held a small posy of pastel-coloured flowers as she left the ceremony with her new husband. The pop star announced that she and Turner were engaged last year, telling British Vogue: "It's very exciting. This decision to grow old together, to see a life and just, I don't know, be best friends forever - it's a really special feeling." She told Vogue that Turner had the engagement ring made for her after consulting with her best friends and sister. The couple now reportedly plan to throw a three-day party in Sicily at the end of next week. Lipa, 30, is one of the world's biggest pop stars, headlining Glastonbury in 2024. Turner, 36, made an international name for himself appearing in the Fantastic Beasts films and is believed to be a possible candidate to become the next James Bond. Old Marylebone Town Hall has hosted many other celebrity nuptuals in the past - the first high-profile wedding being Sir Paul McCartney to Linda Eastman in 1969. He later married Nancy Shevell there in 2011. Fellow Beatle Ringo Starr married wife Barbara at the town hall in 1981, while Melanie Griffith and Antonio Banderas tied the knot in a private ceremony there in 1996. Liam Gallagher also chose it as a venue for two of his weddings - to Patsy Kensit in 1997 and to Nicole Appleton in 2008.

Left-hander Sooryavanshi has excelled in the IPL this season, scoring 776 runs in 16 innings at a strike rate of 237.30. He was named Most Valuable Player for the 2026 campaign, despite his team Rajasthan Royals not reaching the final. The teenager also picked up the emerging player award and the Orange Cap, given to the highest run-scorer. Among his prizes was a Tata Sierra - a popular mid-size SUV in India - but he cannot get behind the wheel because the minimum driving age in the country is 18. Sooryavanshi's individual prize money totalled more than ΓΒ£30,000.

Sooryavanshi, who became the youngest player to feature in the IPL when he made his debut for Rajasthan at the age of 14 last year, struck 97 and 96 in his final two innings of this year's tournament. He also hit a remarkable 72 sixes - an average of more than four an innings - which was 29 more than the next best in the competition. Rajasthan, who lost to Gujarat Titans by seven wickets in the second qualifier last week, signed Sooryavanshi at last year's auction for 1.1 crore rupees (ΓΒ£103,789).

Photograph: Graham Prentice/Alamy UK house prices fall for first time this year amid rising interest rates Nationwide finds typical price was Β£278,024 in May, as Savills says Iran war has βfundamentally changedβ outlook Business live β latest updates House prices fell in the UK for the first time this year in May, as rising interest rates triggered by the war in Iran hurt homebuyer demand. The price of the average UK home dropped 0.6% in May compared with the month before, according to the lender Nationwide. The typical house price was 1.7% higher than the same point last year, at Β£278,024. However, that marked a slowdown from an annual growth rate of 3% in April. βIt feels unfairβ: the Britons struggling to get a mortgage since Iran war began Read more Robert Gardner, the chief economist at Nationwide, said a βloss of momentum was to be expectedβ given uncertainty caused by conflict in the Middle East and the subsequent rise in energy prices and market interest rates . Mortgage rates have broadly risen across the market in recent months. The average two-year fixed rate was 5.68% at the end of May, while the average five-year fix was 5.63%, according to the financial data provider Moneyfacts. Tom Bill, a researcher at the estate agent Knight Frank, said Nationwideβs figures showed the housing market was slowing down βat precisely the time of year when you would expect momentum to be buildingβ. βThere wonβt be a cliff-edge moment, but the impact of higher borrowing costs will erode spending power and squeeze house prices this year as mortgage rates agreed before the Middle East conflict gradually disappear,β he said. The estate agent Savills has forecast that house prices will fall this year owing to rising mortgage rates. It said the impact of war in the Middle East had βfundamentally changedβ its outlook for the UK property market, predicting that average house prices will fall 2% this year, compared with its previous expectation of a 2% rise. But Gardner added that, while market interest rates had risen in recent months, βthe impact on affordability has so far been modest.β βSwap rates, which underpin fixedβrate mortgage pricing, remain well below the highs reached in 2023 and are broadly in line with levels prevailing in 2024, implying only a partial reversal of earlier gains,β he said. βThis provides some confidence that, if the latest shock passes relatively quickly, and energy prices normalise in the quarters ahead, any near-term softening in the housing market will also prove short lived.β Martin Beck, the chief economist at WPI Strategy, said: βEven if mortgage rates edge lower, the market remains vulnerable. βAffordability is still stretched, mortgage repayments absorb a historically large s
