brit awards, lewis capaldi was the evening's biggest winner, taking home two trophies in all. rappers dave and stormzy and american singer billie eilish took home one award each. so let's begin with priya lakhani, who's founder and ceo of century tech. good to see you. so, the golf news, and this warning from apple has really unsettled investors all around the world. i think investors are u nsettled, i think investors are unsettled, concerned about how business has been hugely affected by coronavirus. last year apple flash guidance on revenue and that was done to trade issues with the us and flowing china fails, but this year they are saying, and we all know there are obviously huge supply chain issues with china, apple has 10,000 direct employees in mainland china gci’oss employees in mainland china across retail and their
5:46 am
corporate operations, and they rely on the extended supply chain ofa rely on the extended supply chain of a few million workers. with that all being disrupted, they don't expect to meet their production demands, and there is actually a slowing demand for the iphone and the ipad in china at alt, which is why they are not expecting to meet their second—quarter forecast around $67 billion which is obviously concerning. some people may think that is a problem for apple but the reality is if people have pensions, savings invested, they may well be personally financially affected by this. absolutely, i think with a global economy, if businesses struggle and suffer, people end up suffering as well. it is notjust a problem for apple. investors are very fea rful of for apple. investors are very fearful of the damage that this is going to reflect on the economy, we have got a few countries placed on the brink ofa countries placed on the brink of a recession, this usually affects regular people, so even
5:47 am
if they think this is apple, this is a wealthy company, actually it has a direct impact on you, and this is why it is headline news, people are really fea rful of headline news, people are really fearful of it. right now we are thinking of health and oui’ we are thinking of health and our primary concern is to make sure that people are safe, but this will have a direct impact on the economy and if investors are going to be fearful and behave in that particular way then we are going to see knock—on effects throughout the world. and as you would expect in the gulf news, oil prices as well. that's right, and they have got millions of people who will be affected in terms of their jobs, will be affected in terms of theirjobs, all these supply chain workers are regular people so that is something we will have to watch but u nfortu nately we have will have to watch but unfortunately we have no idea when this is going to end. that continues on the financial times, frontpage. jaguar land rover also facing problems with parts coming out of china to such an extent they are playing
5:48 am
components out in suitcases. that's right, you want to keep your supply chain running because if you can't you have to hold production. and when you do that, that affects your revenue and your bottom line but itjobs. you don't want to have factories full of people with nothing to do, so they have been playing up components in suitcases. they have been playing components from china to vietnam as part of the risk mitigation strategy but it is heading home quite soon and obviously what these plants are all trying to focus on is keeping production swimming, because otherwise it will have a knock—on effect. because otherwise it will have a knock-on effect. and the worry a knock-on effect. and the woi’i’y 01’ a knock-on effect. and the worry or china, i suppose, as if companies find other suppliers elsewhere in the world, it is easier after that, potentially, to just stick with them rather than revert back. if they can meet the demands of. is a short—term approach, if they are playing components
5:49 am
into vietnam or other parts of southeast asia, which are also aby southeast asia, which are also a by the virus, they also have two meet, and are used to work with factories all the time, so you have the supply with the right people, they work overtime, it doesn't necessarily mean there is a medium long—term strategy for equipping all of those places, and also there are reasons why you have factories in certain countries because sometimes it makes logistical sense that you don't necessarily have to move long—term, but they can see how that might be a potential consent for some people. did you say if mcg? yes, fast moving consumer. . . you say if mcg? yes, fast moving consumer... are yes, there you go! let's look at the front page of the daily mail, what they are describing is the immigration revolution stopping the changes for the uk. yes, when we were all debating brexit for so long, this is what a lot of people campaigned on, it is what a lot of people
5:50 am
wanted, and they have come out with this border blueprint, boris‘ border blueprint and it isa boris‘ border blueprint and it is a point system. favouring people from a stem background, if you have a phd in that area you are not going to have a really, travelling to the country. you need 70 points to come to the uk and they have laid out how you get these points. speaking english is a must, you must have a job offer from an approved sponsor. salary threshold, above £25,000. skill level, they talk about all of this. they have got exceptions for the agricultural industry but one thing a lot of people are focused on, it is really about your political views it's just the reality is the care system. we have rely on quite a lot of migrants to work in the care system and they might not get these thresholds. we just need to make sure that when there is
5:51 am
a demand for labour it is not going to be filled in the uk or may not be for a certain period of time, and there will be lots of time, and there will be lots of experts with data on whether it can or cannot be, but i think people arejust it can or cannot be, but i think people are just concerned on, can that be filled. so hopefully this system is a coverall. in my industry, icy the people that we would probably need satisfied in. how much would it affect their business like yours? it already has. the pool is reduced. i'm not saying there isn't talent in the uk, there is, but there's a huge shortage of supply in technology and is the fastest growing sector. and we have a lot of people who come from parts of europe and also outside of europe, who are experts in theirfield, and they all have phd‘s by the way and you don't always want people with phd‘s. it does affect you, but by dominic
5:52 am
let's see if that satisfies the demand, i think that will be the real test. also talking about brexit, the elgin marbles. there is something in here, that says... greece has long wanted to get the elgin marbles back from britain and 110w marbles back from britain and now they are seeing a chance to do so. because they are also saying that we unlawfully removed them, we didn't. lord elgin turned up in greece, they we re elgin turned up in greece, they were in ruins, being damaged stopping the elements were get into these marbles in the pantheon temple and athens stopping there was nowhere else to put them so we extracted them. some people were saying they were pinched, others say they were pinched, others say they saved them. he brought them over legally, it was under occupation and that was the big issue, but he brought them over, sold them to the museum and they proudly set there and they are legally there. greece has never contested over the petition museum's position of
5:53 am
the marbles. here it says it is unlawful which is different from moral. there is a fantastic debate where stephen fry as well as others are debating this, and i loved watching it. if you are interested , watching it. if you are interested, watch it, because the argument is very clear, but we might have to give them back. interesting, watch this space. by the way, they should return the picasso to spain. floodgates. just saying. i understand why they wanted back, but not yeah. we don't have 200 years for the paper review so we must press have 200 years for the paper review so we must press on. have 200 years for the paper review so we must press on. the brits, when the ceremonies are on late, exactly, up early the next morning. the issue of entertainment and politics mixing, and political state m e nts mixing, and political
5:54 am
statements being made, some of them quite controversial. we've seen this in oscar's speech is. lewis capaldi, seen this in oscar's speech is. lewis ca paldi, by seen this in oscar's speech is. lewis capaldi, by the way, i saw him live, he has got a really foul mouth at the festival, so i don't know what he said at the brit awards but they wouldn't be surprised if it was foul they had to shut their areas of because of the amount of swearing. how many kids do you have with yellow my husband and i... we were quite alarmed. free speech, right? what i found really interesting, congratulations to billie eilish, the kind or be quiet on social media is the main message. her message was loud and clear and very emotional. priya, as with the award ceremonies, when we hear the music, we must stop talking. that brings us to the end, see you soon.
5:55 am
hello there. the weather doesn't look like it's going to be settling down anytime soon, u nfortu nately. we have more rainfall in the forecast, which could exacerbate already existing flooding problems. we still have several severe flood warnings in force. we saw record river levels monday and tuesday across southern and western areas, although those levels have subsided somewhat. however, with more rain in the forecast, piling in during wednesday and thursday, we're likely to see those river levels rising again, and we could be looking at more flooding issues. and the heavy rain over the next few days will be focused more across north—western parts of england and north wales, northern and western wales. now, today it starts off fine and dry, quite chilly, little bit of ice around, but some sunshine, before the cloud thickens up ahead of this weather system which will arrive, bringing outbreaks of fairly persistent rain for northern ireland, western scotland into north—west england, northern and western wales. further south and east, some dry interludes, although it will be rather cloudy, and temperatures generally nine or 10 degrees in the south,
5:56 am
cooler across the north. now, it continues to stay wet through wednesday night, and this weather front continues to bring rain particularly into northern and north—west england, northern and western wales. this is where we'll start to see problems arising again. it will be quite a mild night for england and wales. something colder, though, across certainly the northern half of scotland. so the weather fronts then still with us as we head on through thursday. the good news is, as it starts to move through fairly quickly, it will allow for a little bit of sunshine through the day on thursday. but quite a temperature contrast from thursday morning to what we will expect later on as the colder air moves through. now, the good news is this weather front will move through fairly quickly across the country through the day, eventually clearing the south—east, with some sunshine returning behind it. so a dry afternoon, with some sunshine. that should help issues there. but there will be lots of showers across the north. these will be wintry on the hills, as it will be chilly, but even a chillier day
5:57 am
for the south as that front moves through. notice the isobars increase as we head on into friday. it's going to turn windy and there will be more weather fronts piling in. we're thinking areas to the north of north wales seeing most of the rainfall. particularly northern ireland and western scotland could be very wet, but again, into north—west england and north wales. to the south, should see some sunny spells, but the wind gusts mean it's going to be a very blustery day, 40—50 mph winds. 0n the plus side, temperatures in double figures for most, 11 or 12 degrees in the south—east. so that's how it's looking up until friday, into the weekend. u nfortu nately it stays unsettled, more windy weather with showers, but also longer spells of rain for some.
