For now, from Kensington Palace, back to you. Well lets get more from our royal correspondent daniela relph. He is fifth in line to the throne, when he is married, he could be six line, this will a greater frank royal marriage. I think so and you can see that with his choice of bright, Meghan Markle is divorced, independent, in her late 30s, a point of view, divorced, not the daughter of an aristocrat. Together asa daughter of an aristocrat. Together as a couple they will have a greater degree of freedom. The duke and duchess of cambridge for one day be queen, but will not be the case for prince harry and Meghan Markle, they will be able to cut their path and do things differently, we may see that with the choice of wedding they have. They could go for the big Westminster Abbey occasion, they may feel they want to do something smaller, different in terms of how they approach that and i think together we are going to see a lot of freedom in terms of the kind of work they do. They clearly are going to forge quite a powerful partnership when it comes to charity and humanitarian work and i think a lot of focus will go on that going forward. Thank you very much. Two other news now. Two pharmaceutical firms one american, the other german have said they will invest more than a billion pounds in the uk creating more than 18 hundred jobs. The government said these biotech deals illustrated confidence it its industrial strategy aimed at supporting more research and development, encouraging firms to embrace new technology, and boosting the economy. 0ur economics correspondent andy verity reports. High levels of investment harnessing cutting edge ideas, the robots at this commentary Manufacturing Centre cost millions to design and programme and the car door as they turn that can compete across the world. With britains weak productivity record innovation like this is very much the rule. We look at how we translate good ideas from academia and take them into industry and if we can utilise bat for other sectors including things like infrastructure and construction i think we have a great opportunity for the future. The government chose a Biomedical Research institute as the venue for its industrial strategy launch, including bigger tax breaks to encourage innovative ideas, be skilling people with better at maths and technical education, investment in infrastructure like five g, improving the Business Environment through partnerships with environments Like Life Sciences and making places were productive with better transport links. On the basis of setting that out in the strategy document these Companies Already recognise this is a long term strategy, have confidence in it and are making big Investment Decisions today that create good jobs around the country. But its not in High Tech Industries but low tech, low wage companies that productivity is wea kest. Low wage companies that productivity is weakest. The new money announced today, 725 million is spread over three years, compare it to total spending of 780 billion, its a small fraction, just 0. 03 . They talk small fraction, just 0. 0396. They talk about industrial strategy they focus on high tech sectors let pharmaceuticals, life sciences, there is space and automotive. Productivity is high already. The problem we have is in the rest of the economy, the everyday economy, sectors like retail, tourism and hospitality, for productivity is considerably worse than most european competitors, tremendous variation between firms and thats really worthy effort needs to go. Many private companies have funds to invest in skills and technology that could boost worker productivity but since the financial crash directors have an uncertain will be be enough demand for the goods for that investment to pay off and with brexit looming, overcoming that uncertainty isnt getting any easier. Andy verity, bbc news. With finau is our business editor. This white paper long in the waiting. What have we learned today . Five sectors, five leaders that the government can pull. The government sticks in a bit of money for research and development. It asks the academic institutions in a certain area to cluster round it, then they let these different centres to have test beds for their stuff. In life sciences, that might be accelerated accept and of new drugs by the nhs, which is something they have committed to. For d riverless they have committed to. For driverless cars, it might be using public streets. They put this in place, and then private investment poured in. They would say that this mornings announcement is the industrial action. It needs to work. We learned last week in the budget that things are tough. We learned a couple of things last week, just how difficult the economic challenges are. Abysmal productivity and growth. Growth downgraded. They are hoping this will cure those economic ills, and you have brexit round the corner. They say they have been working on this for a long time. In the old day, a concerted industrial strategy, they wouldnt have liked the sound of that. But they now say its necessary, and with brexit round the corner, it is urgent. Thank you.
