ofthe of the shooting. but sn’f ii‘ul‘ei "u”lluf emit ur of the shooting. but had only result of the shooting. but had only beenin result of the shooting. but had only been in paris for a short time and on assured visa. apparently the authorities were aware of him already. again, there will be loads of questions about should they have done something sooner. —— on a short visa. but the truth is it is the goldfinger used to say about the ira, they need to get lucky every time, but they only need to get lucky ones and it is a difficult task. —— but the truth is it is like the old thing we used to say. all of the old thing we used to say. all of the things we've all been aware of in the last 2a months has had an effect on the number of people visiting paris in particular. yes. as the i is pointing out, it is the most popular museum in the world. i understand the attack wasn't on the museum itself, it was on the shopping mall attached to it. nevertheless, the french want to give the impression that their

biggest tourist attractions are safe and properly guarded. on balance, thatis and properly guarded. on balance, that is the message coming across. the story in the times suggesting that museum and gallery admissions we re that museum and gallery admissions were down in london, people were putting that down to people being worried, just the threat of terrorism, but there has not been an attack in london. but people are aware. people do think about that kind of thing. let's move on. let's talk about... what is on the ft? thank goodness you are here to explain. no pressure. trump starts drive to cut wall street rules. alarm as. frank review is ordered. what is that? —— alarm as dodd frank review was ordered. the idea that regulators wanted to protect consumers. they wanted to clamp down on potential conflicts of interest

that banks had. trump has decided it is too owner is. what i found interesting, one of the many things i found interesting about this story, is the rationale he has for rolling back on some of this regulation. —— onerous. he says loads of my friends have nice businesses and they cannot borrow money, which is the fault of the regulation. and that this is disastrous. that sentence let off the page to me. my friends have businesses. —— leapt. what difference will this mean to the rest of us? the idea was it was supposed to put safeguards in place so we supposed to put safeguards in place so we didn't have the kind of financial crisis we had in 2008. the

conclusion is obvious, right? on balance it opens up the system to more cracks like this. but certainly in europe where the banks were expected to hold more capital, so that there was more elasticity in the system. and that's another interesting thing about what he is doing. there have been communications between certain republicans in congress and the federal reserve, which is the central bank, saying, actually we wa nt central bank, saying, actually we want you to be independent from globalframework want you to be independent from global framework around capital. want you to be independent from globalframework around capital. all ofa globalframework around capital. all of a sudden the kind of international agreements that have held together the global banking system since the collapse of 2008, everything has been called into question, is the us with us? or are they going to go out on their own? what does it mean for london? does it mean people who are in london at the moment might go back to the us? it opens up the possibility that

certain things will be allowed in one jurisdiction certain things will be allowed in onejurisdiction and certain things will be allowed in one jurisdiction and not in another. brexit is another layer of complexity on top of this. it certainly opens up the possibility that you could have pockets of risk around certain types of risky lending that are more exit —— more accentuated in one country than another. china cache link to top labourmp in the another. china cache link to top labour mp in the times. £180,000 fund for a pro—beijing shadow minister. —— cash link. fund for a pro—beijing shadow minister. -- cash link. this is barry gardner, who is labour's shadow international trade secretary. what we discovered, and it's been declared, i should say, is that over the last year and a half he has received around £180,000 in staff costs. money somebody else has

paid him so he can employ staff. this money has come from a firm of lawyers who also act as legal advisers to the chinese embassy in london and have quite significant contacts london and have quite significant co nta cts to london and have quite significant contacts to beijing. a little bit more than that, the woman who founded the firm who runs the firm, her son has been working in barry gardner's westminster office and being paid for by her to work for him. as we say, there is no suggestion of impropriety, but people at the labour party are worried, saying it doesn't look good. we have a guy representing the labour party talking about things like trade, of which china is a big part, of energy, which china is a big part of, so should you be putting himself in that position —— so putting himself in that position —— so should he be putting himself in that position? if there is no question of impropriety, what can you say about it? well, it's very

much comes down to perception. and this, kind of, idea of what has the influence been? it sounds like this mp has been quite fulsome when talking about hinkley point, considering how much it is related to chinese business. the reason there is no impropriety is because it isn't specifically banned in the rules. question is, should the rules allow someone to get their staff paid in this way, when they are not working for them or the taxpayer, but working to somebody else who is paying them. but there is nothing in the rules to stop them. that is where we are. let's look at the telegraph. europe talks tough to trump. this goes both ways, doesn't it? he talks tough about europe and nato, so it is his turn to be on the receiving end. i think theresa may has had a little bit of a tough

time. in malta. she has been, in a way, trump's self—decla red missionary, explaining the donald to the rest of europe who have not been impressed with either him or theresa may. she was supposed to have a one—to—one with angela merkel. that was cancelled last minute. they had a walk in the garden and discussed everything that needed to be discussed, so there was no need for a one—to—one, apparently, but you might want to question that. we are ina might want to question that. we are in a difficult position on this. trump has declared repeatedly he is no lover of the eu but he's happy to cosy u p no lover of the eu but he's happy to cosy up to britain. it is difficult for us to play the role of his interpreter when he has made his opinion so clear and he is utterly unpredictable. there is supposed to be some sort of improving off relations prior to brexit so we get everybody on site. it does not sound like this has been happening if she

is threatening to cut taxes and under slash the eu. —— on side. similarto under slash the eu. —— on side. similar to what philip hammond was saying. it is possible for a way that the uk to become more competitive is cut taxes. but the eurocrats don't understand what the issue is. jeremy corbyn has talked about his fear of britain racing to the bottom. once we are out of the eu, we don't have to be subject to employment regulations, protection for workers, that kind of thing, environmental standards, then there will be this diving down. environmental standards, then there will be this diving downlj environmental standards, then there will be this diving down. i think it is an empty threat but a clever one. if you think about what we know about german domestic politics, french domestic politics, the answer is not a lot. theresa may and all of her focus on just about managing, promising employment rights, practically she cannot do anything.

but the europeans sort of think we might. i think it is a negotiating stance. we need a threat. that is how she is trying to position it. but would she do it? i don't think so. but would she do it? i don't think so. it's gone down badly on the continent, this idea we might. but they want it. to tyres down and get us they want it. to tyres down and get us to agree to all of these common european regulations and taxes and we won't become this tax haven that your border. they are more likely to give us free trade access on services and goods that ideally we would like. possibly. staying with the telegraph. good grief. no wonder i was off last week. get building or lose planning. 1 million more homes to be built, apparently, and we've been promised loads for a long time. it is the national obsession with

house prices. and it is all about more houses. supply and demand. call me old—fashioned. more houses. supply and demand. call me old-fashioned. the story is saying to developers, you have your planning permission, use it or lose it. get on, build houses. the conservatives have promised the country will have built 1 conservatives have promised the country will have builti million homes by 2020. that is a lot. they better get cracking. and the number of empty homes in the uk is apparently the highest in 20 years. 1.4 million empty homes. it seems crazy. a lot of those willjust be investment properties for people, won't they? if you park a lot of money into property you don't necessarily need... mainly empty, thatis necessarily need... mainly empty, that is what i don't understand. people who have holiday homes and go for weekends, but what is the definition? it doesn't explain that, does it? very good question. is the

land available in the right places? it'll only get into the argument about do you want to build on green belt, on the countryside, are you building in the right places where there is infrastructure? in these cases these are plots of land where permission has been given. it is not about seeking permission for new flats. the permission is there, get oi'i flats. the permission is there, get on with it. but these companies won't want to do it. it goes back to supply and demand. they want to have these houses coming out at a steady rate and at a steady price. the government will have a battle on their hands. once you have built a house you have to light and heat it. smoothly done. i blame ralph, he gave me that link, kind of... fury at £109 electric rise. this is about

npower hiking prices. and it won't just be them. one company will go first, takes the heat, then the others followed. even if you are not one of their customers, it is probably coming to you not too far off. these are the standard rates. you do not need to sit on them as a customer. if you are prepared to look around and find a different deal you can lock yourself into weight fixed rate. it should be easier these days to jump around. —— into a fixed rate. the dual fuel package has gone up byjust under 10%, which is slightly less scary. there are definitely different ways to shop around. but there is no getting around the fact that prices have gone up since september to november. but don't they buy it ahead of time? it always only ever feels like they are putting the

prices up. that goes back to what we we re prices up. that goes back to what we were saying. there is a first mover disadvantage. they will all have to do it. it is a feared to suggest they are not. it is about who goes first and who gets the nasty headlines. and today, i'm afraid, it is npower. they drew the short straw, or took the lead fast. another consumer story. the vegetable shortage worsens. ration and panic buying is spreading. you cannot even buy certain vegetables online. bulk buying vegetables that goes off in three days seems ridiculous. you cannot freeze an iceberg lettuce, can you? despite its name. it says here, so it must be true, as the's customers won't be able to buy more than six of each item. do you want six aubergines? who needs six iceberg lettuces?

unless you are running a kebab shop. the shortage is caused by snow and floods in spain, which is where they grow a lot of this stuff at this time of year. it begs the question about hugh fearnley witting storm about hugh fearnley witting storm about seasonal eating, root vegetables, which you do not need to import from places like spain. —— hugh fearnley whittingstall. many people are used to this. we are so used to buying things all year round. we expect to have tomatoes that taste like tomatoes all year round. this kind of story, waited just make things worse? why do people go out and buy things they did not necessarily wanted —— won't people go out and buy things they did not necessarily wanted?m people are buying vegetables by the half—dozen, good luck to them.

people are buying vegetables by the half-dozen, good luck to them. they will be very healthy and will have lost a lot of weight for this time of year. thank you very much. don't forget, you can see all of the papers on the website. if you missed the programme, i know you would not dare, but you can watch it later on bbc iplayer. thank you both. iwill see watch it later on bbc iplayer. thank you both. i will see you in a minute. good evening. it's been a windy afternoon and evening across the southern half of the country and a wet one, as well. it seems like this on the south coast is not surprising as we have had gusts of wind in excess as we have had gusts of wind in excess of 70 mph. these winds have been blowing east of the past few hours. still a few hours of wet and windy weather to come across eastern areas. the rain extends further north. it isn't just

areas. the rain extends further north. it isn'tjust rain, it is rain with hill snow around. if you are out and about driving, not pleasa nt are out and about driving, not pleasant for the coming few hours across eastern areas with the strength of the wind. the rain and hill snow, that's a slow process moving north from northern ireland starting to clear. the northern end and some hill snow at times. but thenit and some hill snow at times. but then it arrives in scotland and it stays there from most of tonight and tomorrow morning. another area of low pressure is getting the south coast. in between, cold air, the skies were clear, and we will have frost in the morning. between three and four degrees in cities. freezing in countryside areas. there are already warning sound. it'll be slippery sunday morning, as well. —— there are already warning is out. still some hill snow around. there will be some showers following behind but not too bad across northern ireland and the bulk of england and wales. the low pressure i talked about will bring cloud and

rain into the south and east. quite a big area of pressure which will cause disruption over france. we are more likely to catch the rain and the cloud from that system. not great news for those crossing the channel to watch the rugby in the afternoon and early evening at twickenham. showers arrived later in the afternoon, but it is not too bad. with the showers in the north and arising from the west it looks potentially like another icy night as we go into sunday morning. freezing fog could be around first thing. that clears away. the showers diminish. we will keep the risk of a shower and rain diminish. we will keep the risk of a showerand rain —— diminish. we will keep the risk of a shower and rain —— showers and rain for the east coast of scotland and north east of the uk. temperatures around about average for the time of year. some spells of rain. but a lot of dry weather. some sunshine but colder this weekend. this is bbc news. i'm martine croxall. the headlines at 11pm: a serving

royal marine pleads guilty to stockpiling weapons for use by dissident republicans. french prosecutors say the man who tried to carry out a machete attack at the louvre museum was an egyptian in the country on a tourist visa. at the eu summit, theresa may offers to help relations with president trump and says she wants to be a good friend to europe. how sheffield council failed to stop a sex offender abusing his victims in the town hall for decades. and on newsnight, president trump introduces sanctions against iran following backcountry‘s ballistic missile test on sunday. just a skirmish or the start of the unravelling of ba rack skirmish or the start of the unravelling of barack obama's historic nuclear deal with iran? and in the era of fake news and alternative facts, technology
