3000 people died but donald trump says that number had been inflated by the democrats to make him look bad. in arab news, fully loaded iranians oil tankers are floating off the coast of the uae is with nowhere to go as the us energy sanctions plunge in demand across the world. and staying with energy, the world. and staying with energy, the international energy agency says that the market faces a crucial test as exports are also falling in venezuelan it. and, finally, the daily mail online. vaults of art and —— vaults wagon has killed its iconic car. arn ding production from next year. with me again is gary anderson, former banker and author, best known former banker and author, best known for his book city boy. we start with the extra ordinary tale, an extra ordinary interview, and the pictures on the front page of the daily telegraph today. this is a bit of a

skit crossed with the bodyguard. this is the most remarkable thing i have ever seen. i thought somebody slips in my coffee when i saw this. it is difficult to work out what vladimir putin is up to, or what their superiors are up to, because these two burly lads went over to see salisbury. you can see the reading the description from wikipedia. it is wonderful, a 123 metre spire, a clock, and something that the locals do not even know. so they went there and it was a bit slushy in the snow, something that russians have never experience... 0h, russians have never experience... oh, no, they never experience no. and just a thing to mention is that the met office said there was no such no. so they went back to the hotel and then went back, pass me the victims' house, and then quickly

got on a flight back. this big trip by these two burly lads to see this cathedral. and a lot of people said you cannot actually get in russia... not in russia. so a lot of people are saying what without too, and evenif are saying what without too, and even if they are trying to delineate these two gru agents, or they are showing us content, and that it did miss sitting back and saying that he doesn't really care what anyone thinks, but willjust rub our noses in this terrible event. i thought i was on drugs and i saw this. in this terrible event. i thought i was on drugs and i saw thislj in this terrible event. i thought i was on drugs and i saw this. i hope you won't. but it was certainly on the front page of a lot of papers today. 0k, and our earlier on in the week, we heard from the former bank of england governor. he was attacking what he called the

incompetent brexit approach. now we have mark carney, the current governor of the bank of england, warning that if we have a disorderly exit, we will have another financial crash as bad as we are about to celebrate the anniversary of tomorrow, and house prices could be done as much as 35%. is this scaremongering, or do they have a point here? you are from the city... i remembered the crisis. it was extraordinaire. credit dried up. no bank knew what any of the exposure was. it is a scaremongering. it seems that in 2008 think what happened there was so severe that george w bush was heard to say... it was heard to say this could go down, related to the whole of the capital system. this is kind of europe

specific, but british specific particularly, brexit. to me, it does seem particularly, brexit. to me, it does seem like the brexiteers can just say this is another example of project fear. but they do not explain what mark carney‘s a generous. is it part of this elite that had just that they are anti— brexit and will say anything they can to stop it? it is a 35% fall in property prices in three years, i know this is a worst—case scenario, but it is such a preposterous though large fall that it beggars belief that similar back it happened. but to put this in a bit of context, it is the bank of england's job to come up is the bank of england's job to come up with these forecasts all the time. and they call them fans, don't they, they are a range of forecasts. yes, and the media have focused on the most extreme want to get a bit

of attention. after 12 years in the city. if you look at the financial crisis, you could put on one hand the number of well educated, these economists, that they could have predicted it. the only thing that i learnt in the city is that projections— which is what i was paid to do — is nonsense and should not be taken too seriously. paid to do — is nonsense and should not be taken too seriouslylj paid to do — is nonsense and should not be taken too seriously. i won't mention the other story here —— allon mitchell lacco economics degree then. and we were talking about the stores. —— i won't mention my economics degree then. there is a bit of a twitter storm here, a storm

of the different nature, that has engulfed donald trump, because of denying the number of hilda died in puerto rico. even the donald trump and his prolific twitter habits, this is to be a new one. this is a new low for surely the most preposterous, petulant, thin—skinned, brash, bragging buffoon ever to be in the white house. there is your quote, fox news! he has this idea that the democrats are reflecting the figure. but it is an example of him lying. and there research issues track record now of just telling and there research issues track record now ofjust telling lies continuously. truth is the enemy of despots. and what really upsets me is the constant lying and terrible, terrible behaviour, a gives the officials and lower down politicians

in america a lesson that if you have doubt, light, deceive, be better, do terrible things, and you will go up the ladder. and just like in hamlet letters corruption spreads throughout the country from a corrupt qing, this is what is happening here. —— andjust like corrupt qing, this is what is happening here. —— and just like in hamlet, where it says that corruption spreads through the country from a corrupt king. if i was in russia or china, i'll be laughing at this leader, because the liberal approach to democracy is not shown as being particularly good, because this man is a buffoon. and a drama of shakespearean proportions. we talk about the arab news. you mentioned that you want a banker. 0nce mentioned that you want a banker. once a banker, always a banker. mentioned that you want a banker. once a banker, always a bankerlj was not going to say that. that you

headed up an energy ‘s desk? it was a utilities desk. a lot of people don't realise that the oil price is vital for setting the gas price, which says the electricity price. —— energies. so if you see well priced guy 0pperman this will affect electricity price here. this is a fall in the price and the thinkers off the coast off the coast in the middle east. donald trump's sanctions are working particularly well here, and there is the greatest focus in a run against the regime and the sanctions are beginning to work. but a higher global oil price is not good news for any of us. it is not good news for any of us. it is not good news for any of us. it is not just is not good news for any of us. it is notjust the petrol in your car. 0il produces everything. and it is the — it transport director and, as

well. basically all products drop in prices. a beacon on inflation. gas and electricity prices domestically will go up as well. it is fashion as a successful. and very quickly, if i may, i can see suede shoes and a necklace on, you look like a bit of a hippie will stop a year at a big fan of the volkswagen beetle? a hippie will stop a year at a big fan of the volkswagen beetle ?|j spent a holiday in a convertible red beetle three years ago. it broke down on me in the middle of the jungle and i would still be there but for the fact that a lorry happen to be coming through about half an hour after a broke down. but after that was the one that brought the zen, so let us be cautious about its history. we are going to leave it back, lorry. thank you for being with us. stay with us on bbc news. much more to come. hello.

well, before we go to the weather for the uk, an update on hurricane florence battering the east coast of the united states. and the worst of the weather is technically still out to sea. the storm's eye isn't expected to cross land, that is, make landfall, until around about lunchtime on friday uk time. but it has already been battering north carolina, south carolina, areas towards the north as well as further inland, and it is a slow—moving storm, that means it is dumping a lot of rainfall in the same place for a considerable amount of time, and those destructive winds, the storm surge, likely to be some destructive flooding from this or the system. meanwhile, in the asia—pacific, we have a very powerful storm, even stronger, typhoon mankhut, a super typhoon heading for northern parts of luzon in the philippines, and the effects of the storm could be catastrophic, so two very powerful storms both sides of the globe. meanwhile, here in the uk, obviously it is a lot quieter, thank goodness. showers in the north, much more dry in the south, and this is a satellite image from the last 12 hours, clouds into the northern

part of the country, further south the clouds have broken up at bit, so we have clearer weather. and that's how we start friday morning. a lot of dry weather notjust in the south but some eastern areas, whereas in the north—west notice the rain in northern ireland, western scotland and the north—west of england. as we go through the morning into the afternoon, there is the clock, ten, 11, 12, showery spells, in the south—east it should be dry, if not even sunny, 19 in london, fresh in aberdeen at around 15 degrees. now that takes us into the friday night and eventually saturday. high pressure to the south of the uk will bring warm and sunny weather in the near continent and not so bad in the south of the uk as well and in the midlands. sunshine on the way for saturday. you can see some of the bright weather extends all the way to scotland but a weather front only coming from the north—west,

so eventually on saturday in the north—west there will be some rain and a decent breeze. 21 the top temperature on saturday. here is a look at sunday's weather forecast and a weather front is expected to move across the uk. that means the central swathe of the country could have some rain, but either side we have some brighter weather and the warm spot of course in the south and the south—east up to around 22 degrees. that's it from me. good morning, welcome to breakfast, withjon kay and naga munchetty. 0ur headlines today: hurricane florence hits the us, with officials warning of catastrophic flooding and say many lives could be lost. stay on guard. this is a powerful storm that can kill. today the threat becomes a reality. britain accuses russia of "lies and blatant fabrications" as the prime suspects

in the salisbury nerve agent attack claim they were just tourists. house prices could fall by more than a third if there's no deal on brexit. that's the latest warning from the governor of the bank of england who briefed mps on the worst—case scenario.
