Terror and mortgage rises

Omar Altimimi's conviction on terror charges is dominating the news here in Greater Manchester today.
Beverley Walkden's been in court as the jury found him guilty on all counts. She has the full story on tonight's news.
Interest rates have risen (again). And for those of us with mortgages, that probably means less cash in our pockets. David Henry's been looking at what it might mean for the property market.
We're also doing something on Breakfast tomorrow about it. Nina Warhurst interviewed a lot of people about it in our office, including me. I pointed out that a lot of people welcome interest rate rises - people such as my grandmother, who have fixed incomes and who depend on interest on their savings. They just hope that the banks and building societies pass on interest rate rises from their borrowers to their savers.
