Joining me now is Fiona Cincotta from city index. So many people are desperate to be able to plan a holiday. I wonder if we will get more clarity on what the Travel Industry is hoping for today from the government. Thats ri. Ht. From the government. Thats rirht. If from the government. Thats right if we from the government. Thats right. If we think from the government. Thats right. If we think the from the government. Thats right. If we think the travel l right. If we think the Travel Industry have been one of the hardest hit across the pandemic, there have been some Travel Restrictions in place now for around 15 months, we have seen in your video there are about thejob have seen in your video there are about the job losses, about the people that are on furlough, so there is a broader impact on the economy as well, as people obviously want to travel abroad to see loved ones, go on holiday, and the airlines themselves, they have borrowed huge amounts of money in order to survive, they are billions in debt, and they are at the limits really of what they can do as far as borrowing is concerned. As far as the share price goes, they are reflecting what is going on, and they are nowhere near where they were pre pandemic, which really reflect the fact that there is a very long way for there is a very long way for the Airline Industry to go in order to get back on its feet, where it was before covid struck, so there is hope today that there will be some more countries on the green list which could boost travel quite considerably, also any news on what might happen as far as double vaccinated people are concerned, but also been pointed out it is Worth Remembering we do have this Delta Variant which could actually be a thorn in the side of the Airline Industry, if we do have other countries in europe like germany saying that people from the uk do need to quarantine, that could really be a nasty blow to the industry, just when it appears to be on the cusp of being able to be on the cusp of being able to get onto its feet. I to be on the cusp of being able to get onto its feet. To get onto its feet. I was about to to get onto its feet. I was about to bring to get onto its feet. I was about to bring that to get onto its feet. I was about to bring that up to get onto its feet. I was about to bring that up because of course no matter what happens in the uk, if british travellers have to quarantine when they go to countries in europe, that will pull the rug under anybody� s holiday plans, most havent got the luxury of being able to holiday for long enough to make a 10 day quarantine on arrival work. For economies in europe, the british traveller is so critical, spain, france, italy, their economies rely on us to a great degree going over there to go on holiday. Thats right, and i think because of that, we havent seen a very Quick Reaction to the Delta Variant, so while italy has put a View Restrictions on uk travellers, spain has not done so yet, and i think as you said, that is a reflection of how much, how important british travellers are to their economy, tourism makes up a very large part of the spanish economy, and british tourists are a huge part of that, so they wont be rushing into any decision quickly as far as making british Tourists Quarantine on arrival in spain. Germany, they have been much faster in their reaction, they have just come out of lockdown themselves in june, so those restrictions have been put on understandably to protect their economy as well as to be able to protect their people, but spain is definitely taking longer to put any restrictions on and that would be because of the impact that it could have on their economy as well. Thank you Fiona Forjoining us, have a good day and we will update you as soon as we hear anything from the government on any changes to the Travel Restrictions. More now on the death of tech pioneerjohn mcafee. The businessman was found dead in his barcelona prison cell on wednesday shortly after a Spanish Court approved his extradition to the United States to face charges of criminal tax evasion. John mcafee launched the first commercial Anti Virus Software in 1987 the program bearing his name still has 500 million users Around The World. He sold his company to intel in 2011 for more than 7 billion, but his life since then has been highly controversial, as Samira Hussain reports from new york. John mcafee was a hugely controversial figure but he was also wildly successful in his lifetime, most people remember him because of his surname, the surname that he gave to the company that he founded. Its Worth Remembering that back in the 80s, personal computers are just come onto the scene, and it was mcafee who realised being able to create Antivirus Software and marketing that was going to be wildly lucrative, something that he bet on and he made a lot of money from that bet. Mcafee became synonymous with Antivirus Software, but of course, with money came all sorts of problems for him, and one point he emigrated to allegedly avoid a litany of lawsuits, and at one point he fled to guatemala after the authorities wanted to question him in relation to the murder of a neighbour, something he always denied. The most recent allegations involving tax, not paying enough tax according to us authorities and reason earnings because throughout his life mcafee was always able to make money, he was a very good speaker, libertarian, crypto enthusiast, still able to make money and allegedly he simply did not pay the taxes he owed to the us government, they tried to extradite him from spain and he and his family always said if that were to happen, he might spend the rest of his life injail, and that was clearly something that he simply did not want to do and didnt think would be palatable. Lets turn to the uk economy now, and the question of rising inflation. Consumer prices increased last month at their fastest pace in more than two years. Its an issue high on the agenda for the Bank Of England, which announces its latest Policy Decision in a few hours time. Does it continue to support the economic recovery, keeping Interest Rates close to zero and pumping billions of pounds of Stimulus Cash into the Financial System . Or does that risk letting inflation take hold . Dr linda yueh is an economist and author. Lovely to see you. Give us your take on what the Bank Of England might do today, most believe they will be no change in policy today but the discussion is what to do in the months ahead. Months ahead. That is the consensus months ahead. That is the consensus that months ahead. That is the consensus that the months ahead. That is the consensus that the bank l months ahead. That is the | consensus that the bank is unlikely to move on its cash Injection Programme and it will most likely keep its rates at rock bottom. There was one dissenting vote at the Chief Economist of the Bank Of England who was due to step down shortly, and i dont think anyone expects a different pattern this time, i think what the bank indicates will be what most of us, especially economists will be looking for, but without an Economic Forecast changing, in terms of what the bank tends to look at in terms of data, they are also unlikely to act but in the months ahead, i think we will be seeing whether or not they are viewed as inflation is transitory, and that will likely remain, but the speed of recovery is faster than what the previous forecasts have been, and are very similar pattern happened in the United States where its central bank decided to move forward by about one year when they expect Interest Rates to rise in 2024 2023, so that the pattern lots of people will be keeping an eye on, when eventually it comes out from the Bank Of England. Comes out from the bank of encland. Comes out from the bank of encland. ,. , england. That Chief Economist ou england. That Chief Economist you referred england.
