1:51 pm
arrests made as part of their investigation into the manchester bombing are significant and claim some bombing are significant and claim some of the items seized in raids are very some of the items seized in raids are very important. the queen has been visiting the royal manchester children's hospital and spoke to some children's hospital and spoke to some of those wounded in the attack. a minute's cellars has been held across the uk in memory of the 22 people who are killed. —— silence. hello there. an update of the business news. the uk economy grew at a slower rate than previously forecast, according to official figures. the office for national statistics revised down economic growth for the first three months of the year to 0.2%, that's down from 0.3%. the ons says household spending also slowed. the uk housing market appears to be moving sideways as latest figures show a drop in borrowing. the council of mortgage lenders has reported a sizeable fall in demand for loans during april an 11% drop of the figure for march.
1:52 pm
the number of cars made in the uk fell by almost a fifth in april, with the later easter break blamed for the drop. the society of motor manufacturers and traders said just over 122,000 cars were built in april, that's down 18% compared with the same month last year. we start with the price of oil and whether that goes up or down will be decided later at a meeting of the world's top producers. opec — the organisation of the petroleum exporting countries is led by saudi arabia, with other major producers including iraq, iran and nigeria. they're being joined by non—opec members including russia
1:53 pm
and are expected to announce a deal later to try and push prices higher. in december they agreed to cut production by one point eight million barrels per day, about 2% of the global total. those cuts started injanuary and were agreed for six months, so it expires injune. they're now expected to extend the cuts for another nine months — or possibly longer and this shows you why. the price of brent rose sharply in december when those production cuts were agreed. but it's been volatile since then and struggling to hold onto those gains. it now stands around $54 a barrel russia can cope with this level — moscow has based its budget on $40 per barrel. but the biggest opec producer
1:54 pm
saudi arabia wants $60 per barrel. but here's the big problem. shale oil production in the us fell sharply when prices hit rock bottom — it just wasn't worth their while to extract it at that price. but now prices are higher they're back — and their technology is improving making it cheaper and more efficient. and it means us oil production has surged by a million barrels a day over the past year and all that is adding to a global oversupply of oil. we can call —— talk to a strategist. what do you think to this outcome? it has come off as a disappointment. the market was expecting more and stop that is the problem with the market's condition. we expect a lot more given the smoke and mirrors of their meetings. many people expect
1:55 pm
what is being preannounced will be the tip of the iceberg and for there to be more announcements during the meeting. that was a disappointment today. all they came out with was a nine—month extension of the current deal. that was widely expected and priced in. in addition to that, they didn't really announce any option to extend the programme. it was widely expected a three—month extension is an option. that hasn't been announced yet. there is the formal recognition of the meeting and it will come out later today. why should consumers here in the uk care about the outcome of this meeting in vienna? crude oil prices, it is important and producing energy. the
1:56 pm
petrol you put in your car, the energy sources that go into the electricity grid, they come off oil. higher oil prices could lead to higher bills for consumers. the environment is quite beneficial for consumers. today's events of coming off as consumers. today's events of coming offasa consumers. today's events of coming off as a disappointment the traders who look for higher prices and it may be better for the consumer will stop also thinking about medium—term, higher oil prices are needed to allow for the investment in oil resources. with that, without that investment taking place today, we that investment taking place today, we may that investment taking place today, we may see more that investment taking place today, we may see more oil price volatility ina we may see more oil price volatility in a future as we are into shortages in oil supply in a future as we are into shortages in oilsupply in in a future as we are into shortages in oil supply in the future. consumers may be happier today while oil prices are lower but going
1:57 pm
