Do you have a message for those people in your party who dont support your leadership .

Streets Vera Duckworth for 3h years. It is being held at salford cathedral. Liz dawn died last week at the age of 77. Simonjones is an salford for us this afternoon. The Funeral Service is going to begin at around two oclock. Just in the distance there are a lot of photographers and camera crews, because we are expecting the funeral procession to arrive here any moment 110w. Procession to arrive here any moment now. The service is due to last for around an hour, and are half. There will be a reading from liz dawns son, and also readings from current coronation street cast members, and over the past half an hour also, we have seen buses bringing in stars of the soap, storm who are still in the soap and some from previous days. We have seen hallen worth, and the actors who play sally and kevin and Les Battersby and tyrone, so a lot of people have decided to come to the service to pay their respect, because this was an actress who really created an iconic figure. Vera duckworth was in the soap for 34 Vera Duckworth was in the soap for 3a years, only deciding to leave in 2008 due to bad health, but after that she carried on campaigning after developing a lung disease to raise awareness of lung disease, because she thought she had picked it up from smoking in the past and also from when she started out her career and she was singing in smoke filled clubs. So she wanted to raise awareness of that, and she was also given an mbe for her work for charity, raising funds for local hospitals. But the Service Really is going to be a sad affair, some of the stars have looked very upset, but i also think there will be some laughs, because this was a character who on screen was rather a battle axe, but being coronation street there were lots of laughs, too, and people would tuning in their millions to see the relationship between vera and jack. It really endeared themselves to the nation, 12. 5 Million People tuned in when vera was written out of the soap back in 2008 at her request due to her health. She did return a couple of years later when her on screen husband died. She returned to play the part of the ghost of vera, and they had a final dance, which many, many people found very moving. So, very emotional on screen, and emotional this afternoon here in salford, still waiting for the funeral procession to arrive. Members of the public have gathered outside the cathedral to say farewell. Simon jones, thank you very much indeed. The winner of this years Nobel Peace Prize is the International Campaign to abolish Nuclear Weapons. The Norwegian Nobel Committee praised the organisations effort to achieve a ban on Nuclear Weapons, calling on nuclear arms states is gradually eliminate their stockpiles. The Norwegian Nobel Committee has decided to award the Nobel Peace Prize for 2017 to the International Campaign to abolish Nuclear Weapons. The organisation is receiving the award for its work to draw attention to the catastrophic humanitarian consequences of any use of Nuclear Weapons, and for its Ground Breaking efforts to achieve a treaty based prohibition on such weapons. We live in a world where the risk of Nuclear Weapons being used is greater than it has been for a long time. Some states are modernising their nuclear arsenals, and there is a real danger that more countries will try to procure Nuclear Weapons as exemplified by north korea. So, what is ican . It is a Nuclear Disarmament group founded in vienna in 2007, and it is comprised of more than 300 non government organisations, or ngos. It was a key player in the historic Nuclear Weapons treaty signed by 122 countries in july. Weapons treaty signed by 122 countries injuly. The head of ican says she hopes the prize helps send a clear warning to countries with Nuclear Weapons. It is hugely important is that we raise awareness of this issue. The treaty on the provision of Nuclear Weapons declared that kind of behaviour illegal. So the the prize sends a very strong signal that this is unacceptable, you have to stop and join the majority of states in the world who have concluded that this is unacceptable and illegal.

Ryanair chief executive michael 0leary has written to the Airlines Pilots to offer them better pay and conditions. The improved conditions came after the airline was forced to cancel thousands of flights in recent weeks. Mr leary also apologised for the changes that cause disruptions to their rotors and urge them not to leave the airline. More on this injust a second. Lets talk about airline. The problems of ryanair, monarch, not to mention further afield, air berlin, all show how Turbulent Times after airlines generally. Today easy jet admitted the downward pressure on fares was making life tough, although it did say annual profits would still come in a little higher. And it said it had record sales in the Fourth Quarter to the end of september. Joining us now isjohn strickland, director atjls consulting. What is the trouble with airlines, why are they having such a tough time at the moment . To budget in the context of easyjet, there is a certain amount of overcapacity in the market, particularly to places like spain and portugal. With the terror attacks in places like turkey, airlines have moved seats towards spain and portugal. It is also part of ryanairs network, and they have been putting in more capacity and lowering prices. The failure of monarch should even out the supply and demand problem . Failure of monarch should even out the supply and demand problem7m failure of monarch should even out the supply and demand problem . In a small way. Moloch was flying about 6 million passengers per year. If you look at the volumes that easyjet and ryanair fly, look at the volumes that easyjet and ryanairfly, it look at the volumes that easyjet and ryanair fly, it was a minnow. Look at the volumes that easyjet and ryanairfly, it was a minnow. That capacity will be taken up by those other carriers almost without being noticed. The price pressures will still be there which will lead to good fares from a travellers point of view, and from the Airlines Point of view having to work hard to keep costs down to make a profit. Are these problems just concerning the budget airlines, or is it the whole industry . The whole industry has challenges of one sort or another. We have the brexit back drop, that affect a lot of airlines throughout europe. There is also overcapacity, in the north atlantic market we see a lot of improvement in the low cost carriers. It isnt clear which airlines will make that a long term successful stop and there are always political and natural disasters coming in to add salt to the wound, as you could say. We saw ryanair saying it was prepared to put up pay and conditions for it pilots. The whole Business Model of budget airlines, is it changing, just thinking about the way they are perhaps putting up their costs . The letter that came out from michael 0leary today showed a certain amount of contrition, and that is because he recognises there is a global pilot shortage. Ryanair is pretty well up the food chain when it comes to pilot careers here in europe, but this shortage does mean that pilots, given that they are the most key labour group given that they are the most key labourgroup in an given that they are the most key labour group in an airline, airlines have to keep them, they have to retain them, so given the debacle that ryanair retain them, so given the debacle that rya nair is retain them, so given the debacle that ryanair is facing, he recognises he has to put flesh on the bones and do something more than to write a letter, to offer them something tangible in terms of cash to keep and retain them, to offer career progression, and certainty in a working world where pilots are away, working in different time zones away, working in different time zones and different hours of the day. John strickland, thank you very much. Bad news free uk productivity levels which continue to lag behind our International Partners last year. These words come from the office for national statistics. Id put per hour worked in the uk was 15. 1 below the average, and we are comparing it with the rest of the g7, these are the most advanced economies in the world. Looking at individual g7 members, the uks output per hour was 25. 5 below that of germany, 22 lower than france, almost 23 behind the us, and 9 lower than italy. Earlier we spoke to colour picker in. We have to be careful in what we are measuring. We are seeing firms being a little more cautious than before. To compare britain against an economy like italy which has much higher unemployment than we do, it is not really comparing like for like. We might want to aim for germany, which has high employment and higher productivity, but the uk is not doing so badly at least as the statistics would suggest. Eu leaders are meeting the indian Prime Minister in delhi in a bid to try to revive stalled trade talks between the block and india.
