according to the the information commissioners' office, parents should turn off cameras and automatic tracking devices in their children's presents because of the risk of hacking. with me isjoel kibazo who is an independent media and public affairs consultant and former director of communications of the african development bank. let's start with the gulf news business paper. the task ahead for the new president of zimbabwe. you we re the new president of zimbabwe. you were telling us he needs to get going and quickly. this is a window of opportunity for emmerson mnangagwa an it has been said before, the economy in the a terrible state. unemployment somewhere between 70% and 90%, it tells you people are not working and looking forjobs so the reason a lot to work on in the next few months and it will all depend on confidence. if it can build confidence, talk to partners

including institutions such as the imf and therefore give the confidence they are doing something, cut government spending and indicate that business is welcome into zimbabwe that is how you start to face some of the challenges. you have a currency problem. you can only withdraw $20 in the atm —— from the atm. that is what people have to use since the inflation from 2009. there are a number of challenges. they need foreign money. of course. how will they attract that? confidence. the previous government led by robert mugabe lost confidence of the world and the economy went into freefall and that is why we are where we are today. if you can show

you can adopt measures that will address some of those challenges... it will not be easy because it you also have ideology and policies... the agricultural sector will take some time to come back in terms of fahmy but if you can get that word confidence to restoring the fortunes of zimbabwe. it has a very good diaspora. it is a well educated population. if they can come back, plus use those at home there is a chance. we have been hearing about the very educated people who are unemployed. we have seen some dire economic forecasts for the uk. a great picture that tells the story — fire and brimstone. but this is an analysis of why it has got so bad.

has this come out of the blue? hasn't in building the sometime? it says it is all about productivity. explain why productivity levels have fallen in this country which seems to be the new piece of information? forecasters have been looking at it and expecting it to be around 2% for the last decade but a recalibration has made us realise maybe they were over estimating it and it is more likely to be around 1.2% going forward for the next ten years. productivity is important because it determines the growth for the country and it means things like wages growth, incomes, are all expected to suffer of the fall in productivity and that is why it is so productivity and that is why it is so important and why you have this

sort of picture on the independent. it means frankly that wages and incomes it will be lower for the next few years so it is rather miserable news as we had in to christmas. it will stagnate the many countries. productivity is basically the amount that the uk workforce produces per hour. do they know why it has fallen? in many other european countries it has gone up. there are different fact is. the way it the uk has been working, and the way the industry has been set. something that has not been looked at ropley in terms of the working practices and how much is generated in the economy for quite a long time. it has been focused on but not enough and now, i am afraid, the chickens are coming home to roost. bad news for the uk but good news for the eurozone. a17 year high for

jobs. what are they doing right? it seems like the eurozone economies are firing on all cylinders. it talks about the fact that the eurozone, through data from different research agencies, says it has had its best monthly performance in the last 6.5 years. strong growth in france and germany. all indicators in terms of output, demand, employment, inflation, all moving in the right direction and even though, the instance, very interesting here, that the euro has been struggling against the dollar. so it is an amazing performance and if you are looking at the context of brexit, it does not look very good but far be it for me to get into that argument. the situation is so

amazing they are running out soon politics to describe the state of the euro economy. for those looking at the contras between the data we have seen from the uk and the club that the united kingdom is leaving, it is not look very good but we must be strong. today is a good day to look strong. black friday williams of pounds worth of sales online and in stores. the frenzy is expected but they have been reports out that actually it may not be the best day to get bargains. are we being conned into something? i am a sceptic. are you a shot by? are you not a very big shopper. —— shopper. but i do have a wife and daughters who do shop. they do a lot of shopping online and a lot of shopping has moved online. the day after

thanksgiving used to be the day it to go and look for the sales and now that has spread right across the world so i not so sure you get the best bargains. it is not necessarily a day. e—mail after e—mail from retailers — starting on monday and finishing later in the week. in some cases it is a month. i have seen ads for cars at the beginning of november. i think it has lost its meaning and the modus of recount has changed. is it to get rid of stock they cannot get rid of? basically they cannot get rid of? basically the prize comes down to the things they cannot get rid of. it is an opportunity to bag some bargains as

we head into the christmas period. but it will not be me. it might be me later. in the daily telegraph, warning for parents christmas shopping on the black friday deals are getting toys, smart toys for their kids and actually saying beware of who can access those cameras. it speaks to both the nature of the retail but also of the way we have come so nature of the retail but also of the way we have come so tech knowledge it driven injust way we have come so tech knowledge it driven in just about anything. —— technology driven. the point about it is that that technology can be easily accessed so the key thing is to ensure that when you buy smart toys is to really ensure that the default location trackers and gp settings are made safe and it turned

off and use smart passwords, not once that can easily be got into. i am afraid it is notjust about buying a toy cart at making short the technology is safe. 0therwise hackers can get the data and focus into our homes. and even communicate with the children themselves. that's right. when you are thinking about christmas presents, also think about safety. thank you for taking us through the stories making the news today. thank you to you fall watching. it is goodbye and see you later. hello there. no sign of the mild air returning anytime soon. it is going to stay cold to end the week into the weekend and the start of next week as well. now, overnight, there will be more

cloud and rain across southern and south—eastern areas. so less cold to start friday here. whereas the northern half of the uk, lengthy clear spells so it will be cold and frosty but wintry showers will affect northern and western scotland, in particular. where we get the showers there will be some ice patches to greet us first thing on friday morning. probably the best of the sunshine across sheltered eastern parts of scotland. north and west, though, plenty of showers around. wintry in nature, with significant snow falling over the higher ground. a few showers for northern ireland. a few into north—west england as well. but east of the pennines and southwards, a largely dry start to friday morning, with some sunshine around. quite chilly too but across southern britain there will be more cloud around. one or two showers so a little less cold here. temperatures around 7—8 degrees at about eight o'clock in the morning. that is how it is looking to start on friday. through the day, we lose the showers for many southern areas. actually a good portion of england and wales, a fine afternoon to come with lengthy sunny spells and sunshine becoming more wisdespread across the south—east. for much of scotland, particularly northern and western

scotland, northern ireland, the far north—west of england, further wintry showers and it's going to be windy, particularly in the far north, with gales and severe gales. temperatures of only 3—10 across the south—east. that leads into a pretty chilly weekend. we'll see overnight frost as well. there will be further wintry showers, particularly on saturday in the north and the west. but emphasis will be on dry and bright and sunny weather. so this is saturday's picture there and a run of fairly strong, cold north—westerly winds. feeding showers into the north and the west of the uk, again, wintry in nature. the best of the sunshine and the shelter will be across southern and central and eastern parts, staying dry all day. four celsius in glasgow potentially on saturday. 7—8 across the south—east. so you'll need to wrap up if you are heading out.

there's our area of low pressure bringing those north north—westerly winds. but this ridge of high pressure promises to move in for sunday. what that will help do is kill off some of the showers. so we should see fewer showers on sunday. slightly lighter winds as well, though, will still be a fairfeature. one or two showers across northern and western areas. best of the sunshine again, across central, southern and eastern parts and again another cold day again on the cards. we have a weather system pushing in off the atlantic on sunday night that will sweep across the country to bring a spell of wet and pretty windy weather. eventually clearing from southern and eastern parts of england on monday. and then we are back into the cold run of north—westerly winds with some sunny spells and showers. hello — this is breakfast, with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. a new era for zimbabwe — in the next few hours, a new leader will be sworn in. tens of thousands of people are expected to witness the official end of 37 years of rule by robert mugabe.

good morning. it's friday 2a november. also this morning, it's black friday, when we're expected to spend more than a billion pounds online. ben has more. todayis today is black friday, like it or loathe it. does
