yes, people start investing again? yes, exactly but let us wait and see. consumers are spending but it its actual production in the economy that seems to be the problem. do you think it is the brexit effect or other more fundamental sides we should be trying to address?m seems to be largely influenced by the related uncertainty and the jitters in december about whether a deal would be passed. iwould not be surprised as a result about that being maintained or starts to deteriorate in january of every one to start to realise it is tailspin and particle turmoil. that is still done as the figures. there are extra cost for concern, i am sorry to be like your in this. when this economy grew not pointy percent in the fourth watcher, the only sector that group were services. “— fourth watcher, the only sector that group were services. —— 0.2%. that is the service for goods and something pertaining to the brexit deal so services cannot comment a child by the political declaration.

there's been no commitment from the european union to give us a positive or easy a ccess european union to give us a positive or easy access to the single market for our services? there are still more negotiation to contingency could argue the uncertainty is not going to go away in march. let us assume theresa may gets a deal in on the neck of time, go smooth, we are into the next stage, the future trade talks. we thought this was long—winded and painful. it is going to bea long—winded and painful. it is going to be a lot more painful potentially. a lot of the things that are talked about i think that will help determine the strategy that philip hammond adopts in his budget and we might get two budgets if things go wrong over brexit. he said if it no—deal brexit he would have to come back with an emergency budget so presumably they are hoping that will not be the case. the signal is right now philip hammond has indicated he has put a lot of work into the worst—case scenario

budget. brexiteers would say it is the best case scenario budget because it is actually called project after which they will be swingeing and tax cuts and a bonfire in that sense. the cliche is we will become singapore on thames, outcompete the eu but there are reasons why that project will be considered, because it would be a temporary measure whilst brexit and in that scenario was trying to man things and fences and relations and build towards a agreement. the biggest point is if wto is meant to be so perfect, why does everyone try to negotiate free trade deals to get out of it? you are trying to build on wto. the problem for philip hammond is in his last budget, there we re hammond is in his last budget, there were supposed to be a bit of an u pta ke after were supposed to be a bit of an uptake after that, is spending budget and the purse strings were going to be loosened. how could he reconcile that with these figures and that his political problem. the

amount of money the pm is having to pledge labour mps, listening the purse strings and then some. listen for the deputy... let us move on to the daily mirror. they have been campaigning on the food bank question for quite some time to be fair. the paper has taken on this. it is abbott bloodstain —— it is amber rudd saying today there is a link between universal credit and food bank use. people have experienced this themselves. there isa experienced this themselves. there is a lag from some people. that is five weeks if it is working. exactly so if it falls on a certain time of the month, and if not a bigot like. this is been going on for seven or eight years and it is extraordinary

amber wright is finally emitting it and she has adopted a different tone to her predecessors on this. and she has adopted a different tone to her predecessors on thism sounds different from what others have said but it does not challenge the fundamentals of universal credit. the previous line from the government like dominic rab were saying, people go to food banks if they have trouble managing their money and it seemed like old tories looking down on the poor clearly amber wright as being more compassionate and understanding. but there are meant to be changes to universal credit because it requires money, clearly means investment as a result and having to go piecemeal. to make sure it works and to test enrol it on gradually, clearly it is an ambitious project but it requires an ambitious project but it requires a lot of focus to get it right. the

government has spent years on it. that is the difficulty, it is a long—term project. the political architect was ian duncan smith who is long gone and they are trying to get it to work to the model he came up get it to work to the model he came up with this. his model was. .. there was a lot more good intentions because george sprint wanted to squeeze it harder and perhaps amber rogers were back to the original model but people are saying, why don't you stop and postpone the roll—out. it is clearly having a huge affect on food bank use —— full. let huge affect on food bank use —— let us move on to the telegraph. this is interesting. they are saying it welcomes what the government is trying to do on social media and make the operators more responsible about what is posted on their site

but it actually wants to go quite a bit further. yes, and it is suggesting under a new duty of care which we are campaigning for, these laws would mean criminal sanctions for social media companies. it could be punishable and unlimited fines if they fail to uphold their duties for users. if you think about these companies, so many people are members of the sites. almost the population of facebook rivals trumps many big countries sense. it makes sense to try and have some responsibility, it is not a wild we st responsibility, it is not a wild west and random moderation. they try and get more of a grip on their sites. it is difficult governments because as we always say, these companies are international and mobile in terms of how you regulate them, you have to get there corporation but also consensus internationally on standards. corporation but also consensus internationally on standardsm

corporation but also consensus internationally on standards. it is an amazing shift on tone and everybody, ten years ago they were seen as a cool new companies like google and facebook. policies want to get their speeches and headquarters and social media. exactly, facebook damaged by various things last year and it was interesting to see the head of instagram last week being the first head of a tech company admitting they did have a responsibility in this so i think there is a shift in tone from both sides, in government and the tech companies themselves. this is a story for anyone sitting in front of the paper review with a ta keaway in front of the paper review with a takeaway in their pants. to be 30 ta keaway takeaway in their pants. to be 30 takeaway manufacturers, the people who make take a ways and give us ta keaway who make take a ways and give us takeaway is, it is more about supermarkets. maybe the food we buy only the wee a late—night shop and deckin only the wee a late—night shop and deck in the microwave. it is my guilty pleasure, i am sorry, you are

shaming me on here. postponed for another hour. then i could get back to the chicken,, exactly. i am stunned but equally not too surprised. it is terrible almost because the amount of preservatives they have and given how artificial they have and given how artificial they are, because obviously they la st they are, because obviously they last so long in your fridge, there isa last so long in your fridge, there is a reason why. there is a lot of salt and additives. what is this studying saying? it ox use of your life. you cannot live and prosper so much of your diet is full of starch from reading meals. the net logical conclusion is natural home cooking from scratch. the research is from a university, a name we should respect in terms of the work being done. university, a name we should respect in terms of the work being donem only increased the likelihood, for

every 10% increase of processed food there is death went up 14%. they do say they are factoring in smoking and obesity and exercise, but i think a lot of this mass produced processed food will be linked to be city anyway. the problem is a lot of fibre in the food. —— a lack of fibre. we should not be too hysterical because of it is processed like sugar and flour. sugar occurs in potatoes. we should not get too het up but clearly if your diet is solely the stuff you need to introduce more fibre and healthy things. let us end on a slightly lighter note which is on the telegraph. this is a story on the telegraph. this is a story on the bottom right. i have some

sympathy with the subject of the story because i have to confess it has been known over the of a long shift to drift off although i would not claim i'd everfallen shift to drift off although i would not claim i'd ever fallen asleep. hopefully not when i am speaking. it isa hopefully not when i am speaking. it is a soporific story as a result. this isjustice parker, a high court judge, she joe's staff —— she dozed off during the case in london and a formal investigation took place. she had to express remorse for nodding off in the middle of her duties.|j wonder how you would punish that judge? it is difficult. i sat on a jury judge? it is difficult. i sat on a jury for six weeks and it was a full trial with a lot of breaks because it was a hot summer as well. as a judge you would be used to it but you do have to have a lot of consideration in these cases that are very involved. perhaps more brea ks are very involved. perhaps more breaks but i feel sorry for her.

hopefully it was a one—off. if it was more than a one off you would expect a different reaction. she has our sympathy at least. you will both stay fully awake to absorb model of the newspapers in time for our next abuse. that's it for the papers for now. don't forget you can see the front pages of the papers online on the bbc news website. it's all there for you — 7 days a week at bbc.co.uk/papers — and if you miss the programme any evening you can watch it later on bbc iplayer. thank you to political commentator, jane merrick and the brexit editor of the telegraph, asa bennett — we will be back at 11.30. hello, it has been a lovely start to the week. lots of sunshine around. tomorrow will have more cloud but it will be a milder day. the biggest difference will be across scotland and northern england. these are the temperatures today, only 5 degrees

in inverness. these are the temperatures expected tomorrow, ease away in double figures. the reason for the change is a change in wind direction. we had a gentle wind today, during tomorrow the winds are more southerly. we see more cloud is coming in on the southerly winds at the moment. they are toppling down across the north—west of the uk, seeing a bit more rain and drizzle over night tonight. some of that cloud will push its way into western parts of england and wales, further south and east it is going to be dry and clear and already in rural areas temperatures are close to freezing. it will be a chilly night with a pinch of ground last at the very least. we have got some rain and drizzle to start the day which will tend to ease off a little bit and edged down to northern england and north wales. another bout of rain coming in during the middle part of the day but eventually some sunshine arriving in the far west and a little sunshine in the south—east.

when strongest in the northern half of the uk and the wind direction is significant, it will be in much milder day for scotland and northern england. temperatures at ten to 12 degrees. the weather front bringing the rain and drizzle is very weak and it will only get so far and then swept northwards and they went pick—up from the south so we will see some cloud around on wednesday. a bit of rain and drizzle especially in the north—west of scotland, cloud attending to thin and break elsewhere. a bit more sunshine on offer. we're still got temperatures significantly above average for a time of year, at 11 to 13 degrees. it is mild because we have got southerly winds which are coming around that persistent area of high pressure setting to the south—east of the uk. it is dominant to keep those weather fronts to be on thursday and we will find after a bit of a cloudy start in the north—west of scotland, the cloud brea ks north—west of scotland, the cloud breaks and on the whole it looks like a breaks and on the whole it looks likea dry breaks and on the whole it looks like a dry and sunny day on

thursday. temperatures of ii to perhaps as high as 13 celsius. this is bbc news, i'm shaun ley. the headlines at 11:00pm: the economy expands at its slowest annual rate in six years after a sharp slowdown in december. the official explanation is a fall in factory output and car production. 2018 was a challenging year for us. we've had rising raw material costs and our customers have suffered raw material increases and we suffered a high employee turnover this year. eu negotiator michel barnier has met the brexit secretary in brussels this evening ahead of an update from theresa may tomorrow. it's decision time for horse racing. the industry's authorities will anounce soon whether racing can resume, after equine flu was identified at a second stables at the weekend. president trump heads to the border city of el paso, in texas, to hold a rally aimed at gathering support for his border wall.
