with me is cornelia meyer — ceo of mrl corporation. good to see you. great to see you again. let's start with this latest on coronavirus. it is amazing to think that a thousand bed facility can go up in eight days. it only in china can you do it, a centralised economy at its best, and when you think about china and see how quickly it came up in shanghai, when i first went there was nothing and then when i went there was nothing and then when iwent in there was nothing and then when i went in the zeros it was there. but part of the problem is also it has been kept quiet for too long and not addressed for too long and not addressed
5:46 am
for too long and not addressed for too long, and with these pandemics, apparently the sooner you pandemics, apparently the sooner you get to it the better, so the infra structure is one thing on the measures now is one thing but the measures right at the beginning we re measures right at the beginning were probably a bit lacking. and of course the big concern is once they start to bring the lunar new year holiday as has been extended to a close, the movement of people once again within china, hundreds of millions on the move, the fear is that it could start another surge in cases being transmitted. and you see that a lot of companies are saying, we are not opening our doors, for precisely that reason. a lot of people went home for the lunar new year and their place of work is very far from where they live. in the last time during the sars virus, the gdp of china sort of had 2% less
5:47 am
growth than projected. so this time it will probably be more because it is more interlinked with the global world and the ramifications for global stock let alone the chinese stock market, and you look at the oil price, the premierfuel for transport, it needs goods to be shipped around and people to fly around. it is now at about 56. it has come down from the mid—60s. 56. it has come down from the mid-60s. the price per barrel. ofa mid-60s. the price per barrel. of a barrel. so it has big ramifications. it is interesting you bring up the effects financially, commodities down, oiled down, mainland chinese stocks down. absolutely. some stocks, some stocks are up. if you produce face masks and so on, but it has ramifications because the supply chains are so interlinked. for china, it is a double whammy because it had the trade wars which didn't help. and now this so it is not
5:48 am
very good. talking about an interconnected world, britain is going to start trying to work out how its new connections will work after brexit with the rest of the eu. city am are talking about the australian model, what do they mean? they mean a model where you still have some border checks, and zero alignment. yesterday, dominic rob was on the andrew marr show and was also on the bbc, he was on sky news, and he said the regulatory alignment is out of the question. the stance against the president of the european commission, who says, if you want a quick deal you need to have regulatory alignment. regulatory alignment for those not familiar with the jargon, meaning that britain, when it makes goods and provide services, adheres to the rules
5:49 am
and regulations that apply throughout the rest of the eu. and here it is an alignment when it comes to meat products are whatever industrial standards, is an alignment. so borisjohnson is very clear, he does not want alignment and he especially does not want jurisdiction because once you have alignment, who will be the arbiter of whether you are aligned or not? he does not wa nt aligned or not? he does not want the eu to have jurisdiction. this is going to be very interesting. michel barnier, the chief negotiator of the eu, will announce his view today as well boris johnson, but this is the going end position in the negotiations you always have a little bit of grandstanding, so it will be now 11 months to figure it out. the clock is ticking. meanwhile all out of the front pages in the uk dealing with this case, this
5:50 am
attack on sunday in south london. and police believe the suspect, who stabbed people on a high street, had been freed from jail just days a high street, had been freed from jailjust days ago after serving a sentence for terrorism —related offences. the government saying it is going to bring forward changes to the law on the release of such people very soon. and you can understand that. sudesh amman, who was the perpetrator this time, and then we had remembered just a few months back, we had usman khan on london bridge, with exactly the same thing, had just been released early, and priti patel, the interior minister has come out and said this needs to change. so expect this to be addressed with some matter of urgency, and especially as the conservatives
5:51 am
have such a big majority in the house of commons. and as everybody is really quite spooked about this, expect it to go quite swiftly. although the counterpoint i suppose, some would say if people are not rehabilitated and kept in prison for longer there is the risk of further radicalisation according to investigations that have found that goes on in prison? absolutely, and you cannot win. a good example to look at his saudi arabia. they had a quite successful de—radicalisation programme in the zeros, so one needs to see, what can one learn from other countries who have had de—radicalisation programmes, as well as obviously trying to make sure that these things don't happen. 0k, make sure that these things don't happen. ok, let's take a look at some sport. and sporting fixtures don't come much bigger than the super bowl. they do not and i used to live and work in the super bowl
5:52 am
andi live and work in the super bowl and i once that macso who are you rooting for this time round? i actually rooted for the kansas city chiefs because they had not won it in such a long time and they come from the midwest but it is all cuddly and nice. i was so thrilled that they one! that you watch it? i didn't, iwatch the baftas. which takes us nicely, well we were speaking to some fans earlier who were absolutely jubilant, and not just them being jubilant but the people breaking all the advertising money from a game like this. and it is the advertising weekend in the us, and it is cool adds. these ads are and it is cool adds. these ads a re really and it is cool adds. these ads are really super cool. you mention the baftas. some criticism and controversy this time around, just explain what it is based on? it is because it is based on? it is because it was basically an all—male line—up for directors and it
5:53 am
was an all white line—up for the acting awards. and in this day and age we should be more diverse and i thought prince william got the tone just right. he didn't labour it but he said we do need to address this. personally what i personally felt, it was very good that for sama got the best documentary, a channel 4 documentary, a channel 4 documentary about a female doctor who was holed up in syria and it just doctor who was holed up in syria and itjust brings the whole malaise of syria and the yemen story and these things going on in the middle east so for me, that documentary got the best documentary, i was very happy. but it doesn't take away, yes we do need more diversity. are you a film fan? do you go and see much? i watch films on their planes and at home. and how much are you
5:54 am
influenced by awards like these? does it sway what you choose to watch are not really? it may because it may unconsciously. i don't think really but it may unconsciously because i have heard about it. i read things about economics, so if! i read things about economics, so if i bump into write—ups on films that may make it more interesting, to watch, yes. so things like wolf of wall street probably right up your street? really good to see you. thank you very much. iam ben i am ben brown, thank you for watching, plenty more still to come, don't go away.
5:57 am
60 mil per hour gusts across the country but elsewhere whether improving and by the time we get to the afternoon, the gaels should have gone by then and then by the evening, it will fall flat and calm. the temperature on tuesday will be around about ten in the south and on the north not far off that as well. this is the forecast for wednesday so we have got high pressure across the uk which means very settled conditions and also means it will be a chilly start to wednesday as well. so let's summarise all of that. we are in very very when they start to the beat, lots of showers, sam hill snow, blizzards for a time in scotla nd snow, blizzards for a time in scotland but from mid week, drier and much brighter.
6:00 am
