The natural change in population - number of births and deaths - is projected to be "around zero".This is because deaths are projected to rise due to a large number of people born in the post-World War Two period reaching older ages, the ONS says.

The projections also highlight an increasingly ageing population, and suggest there could be fewer children due to lower fertility rates.By the middle of 2029, the number of deaths is projected to overtake births, meaning net migration will be the only source of population growth.This suggests that if there were no immigration nor a huge increase in babies being born, the population would be shrinking.

Economic growth would almost inevitably slow and there would be real questions about who would care for increasing numbers of elderly people.The statistics are used in planning including fiscal projections and across public services such as education, health, and pensions.

If incorporated by the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR), the new projections should improve "economic and fiscal outlook, and reduce borrowing by around £5 billion", according to the Resolution Foundation.

On a chilly Saturday morning in December 1976, postman Nigel Rossiter pulled up outside an isolated farmhouse in west Wales.The court heard that the victims have suffered PTSD, flashbacks, psychological distress, mental health challenges and seizures as a result of the abuse.

McIlvenny had claimed that he himself had been the victim of exploitation by a man identified as 'CS' and that he had brought his friends in to help him by getting them to supply images to CS.However the judge said there was no evidence he had been blackmailed or coerced rather that "it is hard to think of a case of higher culpability".

"He blackmailed his victims and was prepared to coerce a 14-year-old boy for his own gratification," the judge said."He took them to his lair of deprivation with lies, exploitation and threats. He took full advantage of their youth and vulnerability for his own gratification."
