its chief executive and chairman have left after it warned of a plunge in profits. greece's ekatharini reports on a project called rebrain, the country's attempting to reverse the brain drain by promising a guarenteed salary to workers who've gone abroad. and finally, the metro among many with new calls for food packaging to say how much exercise would be needed to burn off the calories inside. i'm told for a glass of white wine, a medium—sized glass, you're looking ata20 a medium—sized glass, you're looking at a 20 minute run. food for thought! james hughes, chief market analyst with scope markets, is here. so let's begin. james, your back. good morning, yes. we have this story as do many others, on the front of the times, the youguv poll, the last four we go to the ballot box, which says the lead the tories had a few weeks ago

has gotten smaller and smaller. yes, we've been hearing this, but with these polls we have to remember they are notorious lee wrong a lot of the time. but this youguv poll predicted the 2017 election correctly, which is why many are taking notice of this one —— notorious lee. is why many are taking notice of this one -- notorious lee. we have to remember the margin of error. the youguv poll is saying the tories could win from 311 seats to 367 seats, so a wide margin, but it definitely shows boris johnson's lead is narrowing. of course what that leads us to the fact that we have this very real fear in the uk again that the whole brexit debacle we have had, the political paralysis we have had, the political paralysis we have had, could be looking to be extended because it's a very real possibility that we are heading for another hung parliament in the uk. and it's interesting because this article in the times and most other articles you read talk about the fa ct

articles you read talk about the fact that a is the final push fall these leaders —— that today is. the likes ofjo swinson, the leader of the lib dems, will say we have got to stop boris and the way we do that is if you vote for them, and not your conservative candidate in your constituency, and that's where this marginal there is. it is hard to predict what people will do. and what has been really interesting in this whole election process is you have had various different leaders pushing into areas that have been notorious me safe seats for the likes of the tories and saying," look, these are the areas you have to devote. these are the areas where you have to change the opinion and reverse the swing that's been going on, or reverse the fact these have been safe seats in the past. but what this leads us to is another situation where we don't have any idea what happens next in the political picture in the uk. today

a p pa re ntly political picture in the uk. today apparently the prime minister will be going around yorkshire, the midlands, he will hotfoot it to wales and jeremy corbyn will be in the midlands and yorkshire. i wonder if they will overlap, i'm sure they won't! which is all very well... the other leaders as well really doing all they can before the polls open on thursday morning. in terms of financial markets, in terms of the pounced and that kind of thing, what have you got to say on that? it's very clear at the moment what the situation is. you're saying it's very clear, what's very clear? it is clear how the markets will react, because sterling is a situation of borisjohnson is better because sterling is a situation of boris johnson is better for because sterling is a situation of borisjohnson is betterfor the pound, even though it means brexit. this is what has been a swing around. in the past sterling has been very much... anything that points to brexit not happening, it has been positive for the pound and that leads to an upside but now the situation is where brexit is boris

johnson if you like and... we mustn't forget the brexit party. of course, butjeremy corbyn is further delay, it is completely switched whereas the pound is likely to move higher on the back of a boris johnson daugherty and lower if jeremy corbyn comes in, all we get a hung parliament —— was a majority. what about the stock market? —— borisjohnson what about the stock market? —— boris johnson majority. politics don't tend to drive stock markets. the 250? that is a uk based index. the 250? that is a uk based index. the ftse 100 the 250? that is a uk based index. the ftse100 is about uk companies —— companies based in the uk. the ftse100 is about uk companies -- companies based in the uk. ted baker slumps after a profit warning. i have skipped too far. we have got to talk about aramco, the financial

times was front—page. is this a matter of pride for the crown prince? absolutely, it very much is. $2 trillion! up for sale! it is what the country is based on, this oil industry. basically saudi aramco is the saudi oil industry and that is the saudi oil industry and that is the big issue. there's $2 trillion asa the big issue. there's $2 trillion as a target and it is what the crown prince wants to value this at. he is leaning on and pushing families... local business people and investors tojump into local business people and investors to jump into this. local business people and investors tojump into this. the interesting point about this, and as your guest said previously, this was meant to bea said previously, this was meant to be a worldwide ipo showing the largest ever ipo, global ipo, in history, but such has been the downturn in this and the fact that so downturn in this and the fact that so many investors locally have worried about the longevity of the

oil industry within saudi arabia... and saudi arabia themselves have been looking at diversification for a long time away from that. it is really now a local ipo but you say that, it is still $2 trillion! it is huge. absolutely enormous. we will keep an eye on that and samir will keep an eye on that and samir will keep us up to date. 0nto ted baker, which i try to do too soon before. this isn't just which i try to do too soon before. this isn'tjust a story which i try to do too soon before. this isn't just a story about a which i try to do too soon before. this isn'tjust a story about a high street retailer. there's more to this? there is a situation where we don't have much detail. want ted baker will continuously say is it is challenging times on the high street —— what ted baker. there's retailers ofa similar —— what ted baker. there's retailers of a similar ilk to ted baker that aren't performing as bad as this. big trouble in the boardroom? there's a harassment case they are still trying to move on from. there was a story a few days ago, last

government that doesn't have any money... it is still in huge amounts of debt. but the key question is where is the money coming from? where does greece get that 3000 euros to give to people? most likely it comes from europe where the rest of greece's money comes from. a massive issue in greece still. they are still under enormous economic pressure and they need to get people to come back. metro says tackle obesity with labels about how to burn off calories. would this change what you eat? it definitely would. me too! if it said you could eat this large deep pan pizza but you have to run for 3.5 hours after to get rid of it, i would think twice and have a smaller one!” get rid of it, i would think twice and have a smaller one! i might struggle with the wine consumption but seriously, unbelievable! absolutely! i think it is a good idea. i am fully on board, i think it isa idea. i am fully on board, i think it is a great idea because you have

nutritional value and all things that are important and how many grams of saturated fat are within your food. but what you don't know is how that affects your day—to—day life necessarily. you no long—term it is bad for your health but if it meant you had to do this month exercise, it would work for me —— this much. obesity, health problems, theissue this much. obesity, health problems, the issue for many countries around the issue for many countries around the world including the uk, it is a real problem. let's see what people say. nobody is drinking half a bottle of soda, two pieces of pizza, donna says. that's the problem because i think they are! ice maiden says most of my food isn't labelled because it doesn't come in packages. i need a little book of nutritional data, please. all right, we will see what we can do! have a lovely day. hello there. yesterday we had some very strong,

squally gusts of wind. looking at the top gust, well, that was recorded in capel curig in the north—west of wales, where we had a gust of 78mph. but quite widely, really, across northern england, scotland and wales we had gusts well up into the 60s of miles an hour, and there was reported some disruption out and about as well. the squally band of rain has been pushing its way clear and now ourfocus is on showers following. you can see this line of showers just out to the west of ireland. this is a trough that's going to be quite important for our weather. the other thing you'll notice as well is that it is going to feel quite a lot colder, looking at the weather picture for wednesday. so with more detail, if you're heading outside over the next few hours, showers will continue for northern ireland and scotland. wintry, may have some snow up over the high ground in scotland, where things get a little bit slippy. 0therwise temperatures only just above freezing. so probably not frosty but feeling cold when you factor in the breeze that we'll have to start the day. looking at the weather picture for scotland and northern ireland, they will continue to see showers feeding in here.

some of them heavy, with hail and thunder. still some snow up over the high hills in scotland as well. whereas further south, for the midlands and eastern england, we start off dry with some sunshine for the most part, showers though through the morning develop across wales and western england, and these will push eastwards through the day. this is our trough and, because it is quite an organised area of showers, it does mean that most areas will see at least one or two downpours at some point during the day. it's going to feel colder. temperatures between five and nine celsius. heading through the night time, wednesday night, showers continue to feed in across the north and west, where it will continue to be quite windy. otherwise the winds fall light across eastern areas. temperatures drop away quite quickly, with a frost. eventually we will start to see milder air working back in to the south—west later on in the night and that will tend to mean the frost is more limited to north—eastern parts of the uk. thursday, a chilly start to the day but a bright start across eastern areas. this band of rain bumping into the cold and it's probably

going to bring a short—lived spell of snow across the high ground of northern england, before the weather turns milder and any snow transitions back to rain. eventually it turns mild, ten or 11 degrees across the south—west but a cold day for scotland and the far north of england where we will continue to see some wintry showers. beyond that, through friday and indeed on into the weekend, we continue our brisk flow of west north—westerly winds, low pressure never too far away. temperatures below normal for the time of year across the north of the uk, where it's going to continue to feel chilly. but close to normal further south, in england and wales. that's your weather.
