here is the us china trade talks and the direction of interest rates around the globe this year. brexit isa around the globe this year. brexit is a very localised issue, with the exception of the british pound, asia will not really be paying a lot of attention. for asian businesses, they just want a brexit attention. for asian businesses, theyjust want a brexit in any shape oi’ theyjust want a brexit in any shape orform. theyjust want a brexit in any shape or form. they want certainty. yes, and this is what markets actually prefer. they prefer uncertain —— certainty. you look at the thailand election, they prefer certainty and this is what they want from brexit as well. we just want to know what is going to happen one way or another. is there quite a fatigue right now among investors when it comes to brexit? if you bring it up ina comes to brexit? if you bring it up in a conversation these days, people hang their heads and put their fingers in their ears. there is a lot of brexit fatigue around but we are approaching a pretty interesting endgame. the eu, i would

creating that stuff. what we don't know steel is how much it will cost, so know steel is how much it will cost, so until we hear about that is we don't know how much sure to the likes of netflix it will be. apple also announced a new subscription service that will cost $9 99 a month. it will give you access to around 300 magazines and a couple of newspapers. perhaps the most interesting thing they showed up was the apple card, credit card they made in partnership with goldman sachs and mastercard. it will be heavily built into your phone. what this is about is of course apple trying to spend much more money than the devices it already has in more than a billion people's hands around the world. if they can manage that, they can become an even richer company than they are now. the foundering chairman of the struggling in the airline jet airways is stepping down from the board. it will see lenders taking a

significantly affected operations because they don't have cash flows, and that is why the lenders feel that if they are able to enhance their operations, it will help bring in more cash to the company, which is much needed in this point of time. the banks have also announced they will be looking for a fresh investor, and as part of that process , investor, and as part of that process, they will be asking parties to submitand process, they will be asking parties to submit and hoping to identify a new investor in the next two or three months. in a row removed, the indian government headed by the prime minister has asked state run banks to bail out the airways because the biggest concern is if they going bankrupt, that will impact 23,000 jobs and that is the last thing the government wants given that the national election is starting next month. the other big concern was airfares, which had shot up concern was airfares, which had shot up significantly over the last few weeks because of the shortage of floods in the market after they start rounding its aircraft. the government is hoping that when they are able to resume its operations, thenit are able to resume its operations, then it will help bring, stabiliser

a woman in charge of a primary school in birmingham has said she won't resign following protests by some parents about lessons on relationships, including the teaching of lgbt equality. five schools in the city have now stopped the no outsiders programme, which is used by hundreds of schools in england. last week, we questioned some of the parents who object to the lessons. today, our correspondent sima kotecha talked to the chief executive in charge of the school. it's been going on for ten weeks now, parkfield school under pressure to scrap the controversial ‘no outsiders' programme. hundreds of parents, many of muslim faith, don't want their children to be taught about same—sex couples. now, for the first time, the woman in charge of the school has publicly spoken about her views. what parents tell their children at home, it's up to them. there are some fantastic families round here,

whatever way they want to bring their children up is fine. but in school, they need to be educated to the law of the land and at home they can follow their religion and that's fine, the two sit together. so here we have ‘mama, mummy and me' and this is a lovely board book of cartoons... no outsiders has temporarily been suspended by the school. it involves teaching children about same—sex relationships through cartoon characters in story books. but some people believe homosexuality to be morally wrong. weekly protests here continue. the impact on the staff has been tremendous. people have said they're losing weight, some of them said they can't sleep. some of them have been shaking when they've come to school. there are some parents who are convinced that you are islamophobic — what would you say to those parents? not at all. why would i come here and work in this school? i chose this school when i moved overfrom leicester. it was an amazing school.

it's very clear from the parents that i've spoken to that they want you gone, that they don't trust you, they don't feel that you are able to control the school. it isn't the time for a change of leadership at all. there's so much i know about the way no outsiders is introduced. there's so much trust i have within the colleagues and i still feel out there in the community. later this week, parkfield has its first meeting with the government and the parents with the hope they can find a way forward. sima kotecha, bbc news, birmingham. that is it from me. now it is time for bbc news sport today. hello, and this is sport today, live from the bbc sport centre. coming up on this programme: england survive an early scare to thrash montenegro 5—1 in their european championship qualifier. meanwhile cristiano ronaldo limps off in portugal as the european champions are held
