justice department, to the fbi, everyone overseeing this investigation and its trial. in theory if he pushes it back far enoughin theory if he pushes it back far enough in wins he could make all of this go away by appointing people who would make this go away. interesting point. a criminal case pending in new york state, one of florida, another in georgia potentially for the for any other politician in any other country that would put paid to any electoral chances of awarding it? tt’s would put paid to any electoral chances of awarding it? it's hard to net our chances of awarding it? it's hard to get your head _ chances of awarding it? it's hard to get your head around _ chances of awarding it? it's hard to get your head around it _ chances of awarding it? it's hard to get your head around it if- chances of awarding it? it's hard to get your head around it if you - chances of awarding it? it's hard to get your head around it if you are l get your head around it if you are not in _ get your head around it if you are not in the — get your head around it if you are not in the us. you could have a serious — not in the us. you could have a serious candidate of any party at any level— serious candidate of any party at any level with these cases hanging over you _ any level with these cases hanging over you for that and being pursued, it's absolutely staggering how the american electorate will actually process — american electorate will actually process it — american electorate will actually process it remains to be seen. i do think_ process it remains to be seen. i do think for— process it remains to be seen. i do think for the — process it remains to be seen. i do think for the republicans, rhonda santos _ think for the republicans, rhonda santos who is the challenger to trump — santos who is the challenger to trump really falling away now for them _ trump really falling away now for them and — trump really falling away now for them and trump being dominant in that republican race to become the presidential nominee again. it does

as when they were all working fully from home. what we found is indeed as you say, productivity decreased. we found that employees are able to more or less produce the same output, maybe decreases slightly but not a lot for that what we found is it takes substantially more time to do so for that they work about in our more a day to produce the same output. our more a day to produce the same outut. ., , ., our more a day to produce the same outut. .,, ., ., “ our more a day to produce the same outut. , ., ., ~ ., ., output. people who work from home are ha ier output. people who work from home are happier people- _ output. people who work from home are happier people. doesn't - output. people who work from home are happier people. doesn't it i output. people who work from home are happier people. doesn't it then l are happier people. doesn't it then follow that a happy employee is a more productive employee? weill. follow that a happy employee is a more productive employee? well, you are riuht. more productive employee? well, you are right- happy _ more productive employee? well, you are right. happy usually _ more productive employee? well, you are right. happy usually make - more productive employee? well, you are right. happy usually make you i are right. happy usually make you more productive it is true they enjoy working from home, a lot of people do. what we see in the data is the substantial cost from working from home. in particular, it takes people working from home too long to co—ordinate with their colleagues if there's a problem, in an example of

there's a problem, in an example of the code to solve for long a time to solve it themselves before they get onto a call with a colleague to fix it. the colic would normally sit next to them and they would check each other about it. once you have a call you have small talk, that is a problem. interrupted a lot by having to go onto these calls. these calls are long. the coordination and correlation is what drives productivity down in working from home. t productivity down in working from home. ., , ., home. i thought we were reporting 'ust six home. i thought we were reporting just six months _ home. i thought we were reporting just six months ago _ home. i thought we were reporting just six months ago the _ home. i thought we were reporting just six months ago the companies| just six months ago the companies were having difficulty hiring people. amid that labour shortage people. amid that labour shortage people could demand whatever they wanted. how come the tables have suddenly turned?— wanted. how come the tables have suddenly turned? when the economy has softened — suddenly turned? when the economy has softened and _ suddenly turned? when the economy has softened and to, _ suddenly turned? when the economy has softened and to, you're - suddenly turned? when the economy has softened and to, you're talking . has softened and to, you're talking about _ has softened and to, you're talking about some of the most attractive, most _ about some of the most attractive, most highly compensated jobs on the planet _ most highly compensated jobs on the planet. folks like google and meta, these _ planet. folks like google and meta, these are _ planet. folks like google and meta, these are very competitive positions. let's also keep in mind

more than 100 million users signed up in just five days which means its on track to rapidly supercede twitter�*s audience. twitter traffic had been trending downward for months, but the pace of that decline has accelerated as people migrate to the competition. which is not entirely surpising. threads is linked to instagram, which has 2.35 billion active users, compared to twitter which has 240 million active users. live now to los angeles. let's speak to taylor lorenz. she's a technology columnist at the washington post i have tried it and people say it's similar to twitter. it's not as user family as twitter. why is everybody vacating the twitter space?- vacating the twitter space? yeah. threads has _ vacating the twitter space? yeah. threads has only _ vacating the twitter space? yeah. threads has only been _ vacating the twitter space? yeah. threads has only been around i vacating the twitter space? yeah. threads has only been around for| threads has only been around for five and half days. it's a little bit stripped down compared to

will heat up between defending champions. this was a day for a breakaway. with 20 miles to go chris mylan went for what would be the biggest win of his career. the latvian seem more confident. fantastic, come on. it's the day of your life. he fantastic, come on. it's the day of our life. ., , .., ., , your life. he was caught two miles from the finish _ your life. he was caught two miles from the finish when _ your life. he was caught two miles from the finish when things - your life. he was caught two miles from the finish when things really| from the finish when things really started to speed up. there were several attacks before finding his way to the front and stayed there. 11 days after the race got under way there was finally a winner. the european court of human rights is ruled on favour of double entry metre champion in the challenge against the world athletics rules which stated that the runners testosterone levels would have to be lowered. world athletic said they had taken a proportionate measure to defend the female category. she was

born with differences of sexual development and is only allowed to compete in track events between 100 leaders in the mile unless they take testosterone reducing drugs. she has twice failed a legal battle to overturn that decision but has now been successful against the ruling specifically against the government of switzerland for not protecting her rights. in response world athletics claim its efforts to protect fair competition in the female category means a team for the swiss courts to challenge the verdict and crucially assist the rules remain in place without more details or narrow those stories on the bbc sport website. that is the sports for now. good evening. the shower clouds menacing in the menai straits behind me earlier today. it has been a day of contrasts, really. the sunshine between the showers, but when they've come along, we've had some really torrential downpours, lots of thunder and lightning, some

hail in there as well. a rather more persistent band of rain still across the north of scotland. the showers perhaps fading a little later this evening and overnight across england and wales, but some more persistent rain potentially pushing through northern ireland into southern scotland, again back into north wales and northern england. i think we've lost the humidity, so a more comfortable night for sleeping. but those breezes, that brisk wind will continue to push those showers eastwards overnight and into wednesday with that low pressure close by. perhaps a little respite in the south on thursday, but not for long. the next area of wet and windy weather comes in by the end of the week and then lingers into the weekend. we're set in this trend, really, at the moment of really very unsettled weather. so wednesday dawning with a little bit of sunshine, but the shower cloud soon gets going and they'll be heavy and frequent across northern ireland, scotland, northern england. and there will be showers further south as well. almost nowhere exempt from them, so when they come along, they will move through on that brisk

wind coming from the west or the north—west. so it'll feel fresher, but as i say there is still the chance of some showers disrupting the play on wednesday at wimbledon, for example, because they will be coming through on that brisk breeze at times. squally winds and downpours continue into the evening. they fade a little, then, as we head towards thursday morning in southern areas. again, a pleasant night for sleeping having lost that humidity, fairly cool i should imagine in the suburbs, perhaps into single figures. but that ridge of high pressure�*s really only around in southern areas. still some heavy showers further north. and then this next area of low pressure pushes back in with some more persistent rain and a bout of strong winds again for friday. but for thursday, again plenty of showers, slow—moving and heavy with the slightly less windy weather in the north. perhaps fewer showers in the south, but there'll still be some around. with a bit more sunshine, temperatures will be a little higher. and then into friday, as our next area of low pressure winds itself in, it will give another spell of quite heavy and thundery rain, strong winds to go with it and following some heavy showers. and you can see it stays unsettled

for the most part into the early part of next week as well.
