The Bank of England, in London. Getty yeezy crocs hausschuhe Britain s central bank warned on Thursday that the U.K. is facing its longest-ever recession, and it predicted the country s unemployment rate could double by 2025. The Bank of England s announcement came as it raised the base interest rate from 2.25% to 3%, giving it the most significant hike in 33 years amid dire economic forecasts.Inflation has been soaring in the United Kingdom at its fastest rate in decades, with food and energy prices exploding, due in part to Russia s invasion of Ukraine. The bank believes that by raising its benchmark interest rate, and thus increasing the cost of debt, including mortgages, it will encourage people to stop spending money and contribute to lowering prices.Bank boss Andrew Bailey acknowledged a tough road ahead, and he warned that action had to be taken now by the government or things will be worse later on. The European Union has been hit hard by the energy price hikes caused by the war in Ukraine.

An Associated Press photograph showed Omar s anguished father, Jihad al-Masharawi, clutching his slain child wrapped in a shroud. Palestinians blamed Israel, and the image was broadcast around the world and widely shared on social media.Now a report from the U.N. office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights says the baby was killed by what appeared to be a Palestinian rocket that fell short of Israel. Gaza s rulers, the militant Islamic group Hamas, whose fighters fired most of the rockets into Israel during the conflict, had no response Monday.BBC officials had no immediate comment, and Jihad al-Masharawi said he couldn t discuss the issue.

I won t be enforcing it and I won t be telling my staff to enforce it, simple as that, pub owner Danny Healy-Rae said of the ban, which takes effect Monday and applies to any enclosed work space - more than 10,000 pubs, as well as billiard halls, private clubs, home offices, even a lone trucker s cab.
