Having to patrol borders. Nobody wa nts a having to patrol borders. Nobody wants a hard border. And with Boris Johnson saying it is an issue with technology. Well, thats really a red herring because you need Good Technology and good infrastructure to make things work. And without that in place, without the details, Boris Johnsons that in place, without the details, borisjohnsons broad that in place, without the details, Boris Johnsons broad landing that in place, without the details, borisjohnsons broad landing zone becomes a sort of very bumpy and dangerous terrain. Sol becomes a sort of very bumpy and dangerous terrain. So i can understand why eu officials really wa nt to understand why eu officials really want to pin him down on details and see whether this is a workable plan that can be built on and developed to create actually a decent or a half decent deal, or whether it is something johnsonjust half decent deal, or whether it is something johnson just gave saying well. Just for the point of giving something. And that is what is raised here as well. Is hejust positioning himself to say weve put something to you, youve rejected it, the blame falls on you . Yep. It seems either way borisjohnson wins, evenif seems either way borisjohnson wins, even if he doesnt gain traction, he can blame the opposition parties in the uk, he can blame the eu for saying no or vetoing it and he sort of comes out as i tried my best, now weve got no deal. of comes out as i tried my best, now weve got no deal. as we have been saying for so long, time is running out. Lets hope something good happens one way or another. Lets check out the guardian. Syncing Service Sector brings uk to bring a first recess in for a decade. What has happened here . Sinking stop this is fascinating. We have a series of unfortunate events that have led to this situation. There has been a gradual weakening in services over the past few months, partly because of brexit uncertainty, partly because there has been a slight global slowdown. And then with us jobs has been a slight global slowdown. And then with usjobs market has been a slight global slowdown. And then with us jobs market looking softer expected, weve got this situation softer than expected, the services industry, 80 of the economy, we are talking about hotels, Financial Services, consultancies, with job losses are starting to be on the line, with weakening profits, it could lead to a recession. And this is what the figures are suggesting. Whether we will get anywhere near the depth of the crisis that we had in 2008 09 is unlikely, but the situation looks quite dire, particularly for the uk as we are on the brink of a brexit. When we are exporting Financial Services as our biggest ip, you know, we have an amazing wealth of talent and expertise in services, and if we cannot exploit that, where do we go from here . Into recessionary territory, is what the papers are saying. You talked about brexit and a wider global slowdown, the Us Services Sector has slumped, as well as the eurozones. It doesnt bode well. People are also talking about the gradual slowdown in china taking the heat out of the economy. Markets have really priced that in. With brexits or, markets can sort of price in an element to an extent, but if the us jobs can sort of price in an element to an extent, but if the usjobs market is much softer than expected, and the uk Services Sector slumps, where do we go from here . You cannot rely on the other 20 of the uk economy to keep us afloat, its just not going to happen. Lets move onto the telegraph. This is kind of a side issue, talking about tariffs, scotch whiskey targeted by Donald Trumps punitive tariffs. This is all about the fight over european subsidies. Its quite complicated, isnt it . Tell me, its all about our boss and all sorts of issues. It stems from 2004, the us boeing said the eu is giving cheap loans to our bus which amounts to illegal subsidies, its not fair amounts to illegal subsidies, its notfairand amounts to illegal subsidies, its not fair and its not competitive to airbus. The wto said you are right, that shouldnt happen. And as a result you are allowed to do some tit for tat measures and impose subsidies on goods and services as a kind of form of compensation if you like, for the lack of subsidies, the lack of help that boeing was getting. So they originally wanted, i think, about 11 billion worth of ta riffs i think, about 11 billion worth of tariffs and the wto cut that and said 7. 5 billion is allowable, its fair. So what the us has done is basically looked at things like the dairy industry, cashmere olives and scotch whiskey, so basically everything in life that gives you pleasure. Laughter. The us that they are going to impose tariffs. For the scottish industry, its incredibly punitive because its worth about 1 billion. It is one of scotlands largest industries. 22 of all the exports go to the us in terms of single malt, and the Scottish Whiskey Association has reacted in extreme shock saying the uk government must do more to negotiate on this. Its incredibly important, especially as we head into brexit territory. The papers are focusing on this idea, on this one issue, scotch whiskey, but wider implications for the whole scottish economy. Lets look at this one hour. This is a story about women losing italians against losing the challenge against a rise in the pension age. Two women fought against the rising age in which women can attain their pension and theyve lost. These are the women against the state pension increase, the waspi women. One, you have a lot of sympathy for women who were not properly informed, it goes back to 1995, they said we are going to have two raise the state pension age, but were also going to have to bring in line with man. Traditionally, women have had their pension at 60 and men have had their pension at 60 and men have had their pension at 60 and men have had it at 65. But its going up and up every year. In 1995 there was some form of letter writing campaign, i know because i was with sending letters out for a local government authority. They didnt really make enough effort to make sure that the letters were reaching women. In 2011, they were meant to be informing people about the state pension increase. A lot of information was put online, but they didnt account for the fact that a lot of women were not necessarily looking online for information about state pension. Those expecting to get it at 60 were told you arent going to get it into you are 66. They could lose tens of thousands of pounds in some cases. It is significant, and for some women it makes a big difference. They may be widows or may be divorced and they dont have any other financial income to rely on, and its extremely punitive. For others, maybe it is less of a problem. But, the eu had that gender discrimination act to prevent discrimination act to prevent discrimination in the Financial Services. Women are stuck with it now. Unfortunately. A quick look at this point in the mail online. Its facebook. Weve heard that before. Those who quit are better with money. Why . I find this interesting because a lot of companies are using Facebook Software to help people save more. They are using the algorithms behind facebook to encourage people to put money aside in little savers accounts. Thats quite an interesting sideline. Yes, the idea that if you see it less desirable things on facebook, you will be spending less money, spending less time, which can be costed as well. So maybe you are better off. We will have to wait and see. Are you a Facebook User . |j better off. We will have to wait and see. Are you a Facebook User . I am, but not an ad user. Thank you for being with us, simoney kyriakou. We will be back shortly. Bye for now. Hello. At one stage, way out in the atlantic, Hurricane Lorenzo had winds gusting up to 190 mph. Whats left of lorenzo no longer a hurricane moves from ireland across the United Kingdom on through friday and weakening as it does so. That said, its still quite windy, there are gales in places, the winds easing in Northern Ireland, picking up towards wales and South West England. A windier, cloudier, wetter, milder start compared with thursday morning. A lot of cloud, outbreaks of rain around. The winds pick up a bit further, to south wales and South West England in the morning. Around some coasts we could be gusting around 60, maybe 65 mph, before easing later in the day. A much milder start compared with thursday morning. And the winds pick up a bit further, south wales, South West England, during friday morning, maybe gusting along some coasts up to around 60, maybe 65 mph, before easing later. A lot of cloud, outbreaks of rain to start the day, but edging southwards across south wales and southern england on through the afternoon, replacing any early brightness, whereas elsewhere it turns a bit drier and a little brighter. The best of the sunshine in northern scotland and throughout the day in the northern isles, and temperatures a little bit higher compared with thursday. So the winds ease further as we go on through friday night. Still some cloud and patchy rain for parts of southern england, south wales, into Northern Ireland. The clearest skies to the north and east of that. Therell be a few mist and fog patches developing, and where you are clear, temperatures are dipping down into single figures as we start the weekend. So on saturday morning, then, some mist and fog patches around. Some sunny spells the further east you are, but theres another weather system coming in from the atlantic, and thats going to spread cloud further east. With it, initially some light and patchy rain. That rain, though, turning heavier into Northern Ireland and western scotland, with a strengthening south easterly wind during the day. And, as for those temperatures, of course itll feel best where you get to see some sunshine. But then again, as the breeze picks up, well, werejust talking about the mid to low teens. Now, lets take a look at the big picture going into sunday. This frontal system is coming across us, and quite slowly, with some heavy and persistent rain. There could be some quite large rain totals in places on into sunday, so thats something worth watching. And, whilst theres a bit of uncertainty about how quickly this is going to clear eastwards, some of us will emerge into the sunshine on sunday. But the further east you are, some of us, as you can see, will not. Well keep you updated on how that looks over the next few days. And again, as for temperatures, well, were talking mainly towards the mid teens. In any cloud and rain, though, it is going to feel colder on sunday compared with saturday. And just a look into next week, a selection of places here. Its looking very autumnal. It will be quite windy throughout the week. It will be wet at times, not all the time.
