The uk government is being urged today to address Border Delays by the manufacturers association, make uk. Customs paperwork and checks introduced since brexit are leading to some disruption of imports and exports, according to their research out today, with produce going to waste because of delays. Make uk found 61 of businesses are facing supply Chain Disruption either importing or exporting to and from the eu, and nearly a third are having their Supply Chains impacted in both directions. Companies are also struggling to prove the uk origin of their goods in order to qualify for zero tariff access. Ben fletcher is director of policy and engagement at make uk.

I think one of the Critical Issues when we | the Critical Issues when we talk about Teething Troubles is to say that these things that will go away of their own accord and quite quickly and what we were worried about for quite a long time was that this was a real change in the way that we did business, arguably one of the biggest changes in the way that british firms did business with its largest market in over 100 years, and i think the time that it is taking for them to Adjuster Thatis Taking for them to adjuster that is quite significant, the scale of the problems they are facing as they adjust are absolutely huge and what is quite clear now and becoming increasingly clear over the first month of this is it will take a bit more than just a bit of time some of these to be managed.

There are a lot of difficulties, we talk to difficulties, we talk to businesses here at the bbc a lot to tell us about the problems that they are finding, also individuals who are buying things coming from europe, finding they are given huge bills they were not expecting, forgetting for getting it across the border.

Talking to companies over the past pandemic . Talking to companies over the past month, pandemic . Talking to companies over the past month, there pandemic . Talking to companies over the past month, there has i over the past month, there has been a real sense of frustration at the help is not there, and sometimes the answers they get when they do get help are inconsistent. I think the scale of this is absolutely huge, bridge Exports Hundreds of billions of pounds every year, over half of that goes to the eu, we have a similarly important relationship with goods coming into the country because we have a complex supply chain, thatis have a complex supply chain, that is where firms work on parts, sell them to companies in europe to go into finished products, its a huge part of our world, so moving things in and out is really complicated and out is really complicated and i think the view is that Government Advice has not been consistent, some of these things are really very critical but very complex, things like rules of origin, being able to show on your Customs Paperwork in order to move stuff into the eu now, but the majority of the good was made or fashioned eu now, but the majority of the good was made orfashioned in the uk but for export, and proving that if you have 50 different people supply Component Parts or ingredients into a product before you supply it is a really complex thing, and that advice and support from the government has not been there, or at least it has not always been there consistently, and the government were also very keen to work with industry to ensure that there were enough customs agents, and these are usually private employees, people who are very experienced in customs processes who can be hired by firms to help them and there is actually an enormous shortage of those customs agents, and if they were able to Work Together to increase the flow of delivery of new Customs Agencies to the market, or retired Border Officials who might be encouraged to help, get skilled up and do some of this work, a kind of practical advice would be like gold dust at the moment. Ben advice would be like gold dust at the moment. At the moment. Ben fletcher, thank you at the moment. Ben fletcher, thank you for at the moment. Ben fletcher, thank you for being at the moment. Ben fletcher, thank you for being on at the moment. Ben fletcher, thank you for being on the thank you for being on the programme, we will keep an eye on how things go. Who is getting vaccines and when . That question has led to a very public row between the European Union and drug giant astra zeneca as the eu vents its frustration that britain was getting its uk made contracted supplies from astrazeneca while it suffered a shortfall. The dispute then developed to a potential political disaster at the Northern Ireland border with talk of legal action and hijacking of supplies. So where are we now . And what are the logistics of supplying hundreds of millions of vaccines to the world . Joining me now is simon geale, Senior Vice President at proxima which is a procurement and logistics consultancy. Thank you for being on the programme. Im sure you have been following this saga pretty closely, when it comes to astrazeneca and the eu. It would seem that the eu has been placated for now, because astrazeneca has come up with more vaccines for the 27 member block, but give us your take on what has been going on. Firstly, good morning. I dont think we ever actually expected the eu to stop vaccines crossing the border, that felt like words rather than action, but like any good contract manager, any good supply manager, any good supply manager, the eu is seeing billions of doses being produced in the area, and wants to ensure it gets what it pays for. This sort of dispute is not unusual. We see this dispute every day in commercial cycles Around The World, and that has come to the fore, reasonable endeavours, it really does sometimes come down to that, and reasonable endeavours usually ends in compromise, and the eu will want to ensure it is not losing out or losing face. 0n the ground, ithink out or losing face. 0n the ground, i think the Vaccine Teams and manufacturers, distributors, supply chain professionals, they will have rolled their eyes, noted it and carried on. There will be used to working with these sorts of statements surrounding the work they do and probably had planned for it. Complex Supply Chains have complex resilience models, and this could be one of the things that derail the process. Of the things that derail the rocess. , ~ ,. , process.

They balance the quality, cost, flexibility and risk, altogether which is why they take such a management. Todays world is highly unlikely that a Global Challenge like this does not get solved without some form of global collaboration. If you walk into a pharmaceutical company, they feel international.

Thats right, j you have been reporting about googles threatened to withdraw engine from australia due to new laws that would forced the social media going to pay domestic media for content. Australias Prime Minister piped in today, saying the country can do without google and can count on microsofts being Search Engine. This is despite the fact that we know google dominates about 94 of the countrys submarket. A google executive basically told a Senate Hearing that it would likely make its Search Engine unavailable in australia if the government went ahead with these plans to make tax giants pay for news content, and it would mean the Internet Giant as well as social media heavyweights like facebook, we need to negotiate payments to domestic Media Outlets whose content links drive traffic to their platforms. Microsoft ceo has since spoken to the australian Prime Minister about the new rules and was reportedly ready to expand the search tool bing, which is a distance number two player. And microsoft spokeswoman confirmed that the discussion took place, and declined to comment because the company was not directly involved in those laws. A google representative also not immediately available for comment, but we know that a day earlier we heard from the australian treasurer, saying that he had talked to the facebook ceo after he requested a meeting of the law but that australia would not back down on that stance.

I the price of silver has jumped to its highest in five months, and shares in some Mining Companies have soared in australia today. The reason seems to be messages on social media urging investors to buy the metal and shares in mining firms. It looks like a repeat of the online frenzy that drove shares in gamestop up 15,000 in the last two weeks. So what is going on . Have people gone mad . We have got russ mould with us, Investment Director to make sense of it all. What the social Media Players are arguing is that the selfhood market, a bit like gamestops share price is being unfairly suppressed by perhaps Major International markets, and you can see why, big banks like barclays, jpmorgan, have in the past some time ago, all been fined for attempting to manipulate the gold or silver price, so maybe they are trying to get their own back again.

Democratised Financial Markets are markets are good, everybody deserves a chance to put their money to work and get a fair return, and you just hope that the people who are now getting involved i doing it and are aware of the risks as well is the potential rewards because there is a big difference between investment, earning an asset for the long term, trying to pick a fair value for a well run company, and plunging around and speculating in trying to tie the movement of money and its generally where we have seen accidents happen because this is not the first time it has happened in by any means. , � , time it has happened in by any means. � ,. , time it has happened in by any means.

I knew that im probably underpaid, but i did not say anything or i did not negotiate, because, again, the whole thing is im not worth it, they know better, whatever they are giving me let me just accepted and keep quiet. Except it. Seeking help is one of the Biggest Challenges with imposter syndrome.

Were to be able to bring you the numbers so you can have a look at how things are going. Im told in the background things are being done to bring the numbers up to you. But we cant, im afraid. Lets remind you of our top story. A Military Coup under way in myanmar, where Aung San Suu Kyi, the facto leader who won an overwhelming majority in the november elections has been detained, as has the president of myanmar and many other political leaders. We shall be keeping you right across all the developments in myanmar and all the other top stories here on bbc news. So do stay with us. Hello. It may be a new month but the weather pattern, for now, is staying the same. So in the week ahead, there will be low Pressure Systems coming our way, there will be more rain to flood affected areas, some snow as the wet weather pushes north, causing some disruption, and although milder for some of us, thats not going to last. A damp start for some to the south, close to this area of low pressure for monday morning. This is a much more vigorous Weather System coming our way with that Rain And Snow Monday Night and into tuesday. Monday not starting as cold as sunday morning. Still, the coldest parts of scotland close to minus double figures. Quite sharp frost in scotland and Northern England under clear skies, but with some sunshine for monday morning. Icy where were still seeing some wintry showers towards the north and east of scotland. Damp and drizzly with plenty of misty, murky conditions across parts of Southern England and wales. Parts of the the midlands, though, and east anglia may brighten up into the afternoon. And rain and hill snow spreading north across Northern Ireland during the afternoon, and that Will Push Into Parts Of Scotland into monday evening. But this area of rain is from that low Pressure System i showed you. Some heavier rain pushing north into the Cold Air Monday Night and into tuesday. Were going to see some snow out of that in parts of wales, the midlands and Northern England before it turns to rain but briefly very icy with that, and the snow by Tuesday Morning across Northern England and into parts of scotland, so a covering for some of us to start the day, some very difficult Travel Conditions and although for some it will turn to rain, still into parts of the pennines and scotland on tuesday, there will be further snow, and the totals really starting to mount up into the Higher Ground particularly. South of that, its turning milder and there will be a few sunny spells but there will also be a few heavy showers around. It could be thundery, too. This area of low pressure is still close by going into wednesday. And particularly for parts of Northern Ireland, Northern England and scotland, some rain, some snow around. Another Weather System coming in towards the south. Uncertainty about how far north its going to bring its rain but some of us will get a sizeable dose of rain for that, we think, during wednesday. In between the two Weather Systems, you could actually have a dry day, you could actually see a bit of sunshine. And as we go towards the end of the week, it looks like the weather will begin to quieten down a little bit. And where temperatures have gone up, youll notice theyll come down again, and it is looking colder going into next weekend. Good morning welcome to breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. 0ur headlines today. Captain sir tom moore has been admitted to hospital with coronavirus the Prime Minister is among the many people whove wished him well.

All care homes residents in england have now been offered a vaccine its being hailed as an important milestone.
