Without a deal Mr Carney said carmakers the chemical industry and food manufacturers would all be affected the governor said it was not helpful to deny the impact of leaving there are some very big industries in this country where that which is highly profitable becomes not profitable becomes an economic and the very difficult decisions will need to be taken that has knock on effects on the economy in the short term cricket in England or in a strong position after day 2 of the 1st Ashes Test at Edgbaston a maiden sentry from the opening batsman Rory Burns helped take the home side to 267 for 4 at the close in reply to Australia's $284.00 all out Lou thanks very much you're listening to the world tonight with James Kim Asami. The bald facts of yesterday's Breckon and rubbish byelection what clear a victory for the Liberal Democrats and the reduction of the conservatives working majority in Westminster to just one but underlying the result was a development which could blow the U.K.'s shifting political sands in new and uncertain directions the willingness of parties in this case the Greens and plied Comrie to step aside and give the best place to pro remain candidates a free run the new leader of the party which benefitted from this large jest the Lib Dems Joe Swenson said today that a principle had been established I do think that working across party lines is important when there is so much at stake for the future of our country and I will continue to do that but I've exchanged messages this morning with the green light leadership and I think there will be more cooperation of future elections the leader of ply Comrie Adam Price tweeted today if the prime minister is intent on a general election he should know that plied another program main parties are committed to cooperating so that we beat BRICS it once and for all but are his supporters happy that a party which purports to represent all of Wales may not field candidates in some Welsh constituencies Delhi Jewel is plied come Rees spokes person on breaks it the fact that client Kimberly did stand was the deciding factor and it's really delivered a shock to Johnson in his 1st week as prime minister the remaining Lions series finale has written this instance and it could be a blueprint for future cooperation so if there was to be a snap general election do you have a sense yet of how many constituencies applied would be prepared to to take a back seat and allow another party essentially to to represent their interests the effect that Korea wants to displayed in its actions because the Democrats with the best placed policy in that particular constituency now they will be. Many constituencies where actually the reverse is the case and we would hope that the Liberal Democrats would do the same and would act on their ability and by the same principle would stand aside themselves there is nothing that has been worked out in any concrete way yet but on discussions a certain young going like Korea have been willing to put the interests of the people of Hales ahead of our own interests as a policy electorally because we believe that no deal breaks in particular by any kind of brags it would be a catastrophe for the Welsh economy remaining in the E.U. It is in all senses the best possible option that we have 1st off futures a nation it was a difficult decision but I think that politics at the moment we're not living in a time of normal politics and I think that's unusual times like this do cool for unusual alliances to be formed last night has actually shown how that can whip in practice you and out of the price of have stressed that this was a difficult decision that acknowledges does it not that some of your supporters might have misgivings about it oh I'm unsure I mean that support base is a broad and certainly they will have been some sicko which is who would have been disappointed with us and I'm sure there was some so too in the constituency and back in and out of who were disappointed not to be able to cast their vote by committee so yes of course there were many factors to be weighed up but politics isn't always easy and it's important to cut principles ahead of everything else sometimes it's an end to look not just the principles but at the real Paul is it going to look what actually will be in the best interest of the people that we represent and you know stranger things have happened I think that we could really see more very unusual things like this happening in the coming months and what about independents that there are growing numbers of marches there's a a growing well known willingness it would appear to discuss Welsh independence again by by not standing in some. These constituencies do you not in danger that particular conversation and and your voice being heard in it like Emery is as dear to me and say the old Independence and the shambles of bags it is making the case for being a very viable option at Forest and I'm glad that you've referred to the marches that have been happening and how more people the 1st minister of Wales who is always in the Labor Party has talked about how maybe in Japan to something that we will need to consider if Scotland votes for independence of course it is the core principle all of our policy it is all reson that to many ways but at the moment the more immediate threat is a new deal breaks it difficult decisions need to be made in order to best represent the people who we represent the youth jewel the Breck said spokesperson for plied Comrie. So will this remain Alliance be matched by a lever lines if it had been in Brecon in Radnor sure if the regs had parties $3000.00 plus votes had gone to the conservatives Well the Tories would have held on to their seat and with Boris Johnson's almost nonexistent working majority leading to talk of a potential general election that counter-factual is focusing minds the Conservative M.P. Steve Baker from the pro breakfast European Research group of M.P.'s tweeted today it is becoming obvious to all now that the Bracks it Party standing against the Conservative Party would produce a massive own goal Steve double is a Conservative M.P. Force and are still a new keep What did he make of the fact the more than 3000 people in the Brecon and rubbish a constituency chose to vote for the Bracks at party I can absolutely understand why that many people across the country are frustrated that we have not delivered bricks that we have not kept our word and left the E.U. As we said we would but what I would say to those 3 is just to consider what has happened is that if Chris Davis has been elected you would have had an M.P. Who would but Boris Johnson planned and they committed to leave the E.U. And what has happened instead is that they now have a liberal Democrat and a who is trying to stop it and will do everything they can to prevent just leaving and that is the unfortunate and I'm sure unintended outcome of their choice to buck the Brits at party rather than the conservative So that's the message to them what's the message to the Bracks it Party itself get out the way. Well I think they've got to very carefully consider what they want to achieve because it's quite clear from the results yesterday that if they continue to stand candidates against them these Conservative M.P.'s who are clearly committed to do that. What you will end up wages is M.P.'s being elected who want to do exactly the opposite so I think they really do need to consider what their plan what I come They want to achieve and I would suggest that they certainly should not be standing against M.P.'s who are committed to get us out of the you know what can you offer them there in the way of reassurance because clearly Nigel Farage is determined as he said to fail candidates in every constituency should there be a general election. Well I think what we can clearly demonstrate now is that we have a prime minister who is absolutely clear on his commitment to the E.U. And the fast majority of conservatives and they sadly not every single one but the vast majority of these who are committed to achieve the outcome that not just for us says he wants to deliver is quite clear if the result last night party are not going to see hundreds of M.P.'s elected you know the polls would indicate a problem like you'd see any elected the same as your chip Tory M.P. Steve double So how does the Bracks it Party respond to all of this Richard Tice is one of it's Emmy pays and party chairman every seat is different across the whole country Breckon for us was over 400 in our target list but we've just today announced our 1st 50 names candidates in constituencies we're caught in a $100.00 being released in another part of next week you know we're getting ready for a general election whenever it comes and you know we plan to have a footprint across the whole country and the point about Brecken though is that look this is a constituency the voted to leave the European Union and now it has a Liberal Democrat M.P. When if the breaks the party hadn't stood it would likely have had a Conservative M.P. Who would be backing Boris Johnson and would be in favor of leaving the E.U. On October 31st. Well the truth is that actually Britain was it was almost $5050.00 in the E.U. Or so and made it a bit rich for the conservatives. That vote for the BRICS party meant that they lost when they had this you could see the arrogance to put up their candidate who had been recalled by his own constituents his convicted wrongdoing I mean surely to have any confidence whatsoever they wouldn't have stood him in the probably want anyway but I mean the numbers show that they would if they'd had the $3000.00 plus that the party got they'd have got over the line no matter who the candidate was and they would have a majority of of more than one that have that have kept their majority of the majority but a majority of 2 would like or find when they going to learn a lesson not that the hard way that you know that's how democracy in politics works we are maximizing the pressure almost government and on this new prime minister to make for that he delivers on what you promised which is to take this country absent the European Union with a proper BRICS it all of 31st of October and your skeptical that's going to happen judging from the tweet us sent yesterday saying commitment to October 31st deadline seems to get weaker by the day you know we're extremely skeptical that it's going to happen but the lesson conservatives need to learn is that if it doesn't happen on that day then frankly there's a major political force often if yes voters might be lending their votes back to the conservatives on a sort of porous parents but if it disappoints then they'll come back to Britain very very quickly so lame lending them back to the conservatives it's not that they've been lending them to you because they want it to happen you see the other way around every election a voter lens their votes to a political party for that election political parties have to earn the respect and trust of the folks was at any election that's all right well what is it that's making you so skeptical about the October 31st deadline Boris all of a sudden is suggesting. That you know we have a long transitional period where we in the single market the customs you just this is the street car and the other day about make a couple of years that way and many in the Conservative Party and now talking about sort of tweaking the back stop and recall getting May's worsted in history that they're saying the deal is dead on they say it's a new deal well if they're looking for what we are we're absolutely clear that the deal should be as we're extremely concerned but actually they might try and repackage it as some sort of new ORUs bonus deal we're not going let the electorate forget is there any of the other day if you do a job do it properly if we're going to have correct let's do it is there anything they could do or say before October 31st that would convince you that it is going to happen that they're serious and that your misgivings a misplaced at this point they can do and say what's encouraging is finally there is no act if no deal preparation and planning that is sensible we've been calling for that for months and months and months so we're pleased to see that you know it's our job to make sure that Boris lives up his promises and takes us out so if circumstances took place that meant that there were to be a general election before October 31st you would not enter into an agreement with the Conservative Party you would definitely go ahead and fill candidates in all constituencies yet we're going to you know we're getting ready to still count this across the whole country who knows what the future will hold what I can say is that there's absolutely no discussions whatsoever going on in the past or in the Expected to the future that I can foresee. But who knows let's see what the let's see what the conservatives do show you know the end of the day there in government force that made us all sorts of promises we intend to hold them to account and the way we do that is maximizing the pressure that party chairman Richard Tice M.E.P. . women in saudi arabia can now travel abroad without a male guardians permission that's part of a series of royal decrees easing long standing social restrictions women were previously required to seek male relatives permission to obtain all renew a passport and x.

Connecting to. The phone on. And we're not going to school the robots way I love. Ready to start English yes 11 year old Sam couldn't attend school 3 months ago but now he can thanks to Marvin the variable it's a chief that avatar that sits at his desk can access these eyes in the classroom where he can interact from the comfort of his own Hey a few years ago I got leukemia and leukemia was killed but one of the sad fact is I have a very weak me and system so I use MAF and in classroom for May and how easy is he to me even TS he's quite easy you just move your finger across the phone and scream to left right and you can press a button to light him up if you want to ask a question and what you call him Marvin because he's named after the Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy. And. Whenever you're ready. To. Cry or QUESTION OK as well as asking important questions some can debate read out loud input into whisper made to chat to all his friends away from his teacher it's been a lifeline according to his mum Amy he was worried he'd be left behind socially haven't been absent from school for more than 3 years it's given him a presence and skill that's given him a sense of belonging so that some exists in the classroom but why not use Skype for the S Why use of robots to connect to the toss room he sometimes goes his lessons in his pajamas and he doesn't necessarily want all of the children in the classroom been able to save him so the other children can't see. Yet if you having a bad day. Say it doesn't matter it's made life a whole lot better just felt really lovely and isolated the more research we do on the onus the more shocked I am how common interests and the word lonely mean something to all of us Karen Dell there is the cofounder of No isolation the company behind Marvin and 81 very bots one of my close friends she'd worked as a nurse at a children's ward and she was talking about these kids and how they were only meeting their parents and I couldn't really wrap my mind around how that could be these kids of tablets their phones their everything and I had experienced loneliness myself after starting Junee and finding it really hard to make new friends yet we're doing so little to prevent it and to help people connect and feel like they're a part of the world according to Karen 35000 children in the U.K. Are unable to go to s
