is facing its deepest recession in 300 years due to the coronavirus pandemic the economy shrank by a record 20.4 percent in april the sharpest drop on record reflecting the impact of the country's covered 19 locked up and is not the only bad news for businesses hoping to land back on their feet boris johnson's government has signaled it won't seek an extension of the bracks it's a transition period which is due to end on december 31st and once talks stalled that means the next shock could already be on the horizon. earlier this week shops in london's posh west end district celebrated the news that they can soon open their doors again. you can see now they can actually come back again they're right putting up their stores that windows is starting to be redressed so there is an excitement i think to come and see people again but the optimism got a reality check friday when the u.k. announce a record decline in economic activity for april businesses are now bracing themselves

for a double blow to the coronavirus the u.k.'s economy is heading towards the worst crash in centuries. to make matters worse the u.k. has officially ruled out extending the current transition period that means unless real progress is made in talks a new deal breaks it is increasingly likely that could harm britain's trade relationship with its european neighbors and even drive potential investment away. in terms of the last chances because of threats that there will not be that many companies coming here that would otherwise be so it's really about lost opportunities which i think no country can afford at the moment with the current across it's just to create some extra loss of opportunity i'm on prime minister boris johnson and european commission president will sign off on the line are scheduled to hold talks next week. with the grim economic backdrop sinking in business is hope the video call will break the impasse. the 2nd look at financial markets after thursday's punishing session on wall street the big question was

was it so technology shares for the very 1st time ever the 10000 point mark followed on thursday by those huge drops specially in the dull jobs of just an average when it lost about 800 points now on friday we could recover some of those losses but for the weeks blue chips are down by 5 and a half percent now many states in the united states are relaxing their coronavirus restrictions but a majority of people says they will maintain virus precautions what is that going to mean for the u.s. economy. well i mean just look at restaurants and some other places even if a lot of those some have reopened they're far away from the same capacity they had before the virus broke out so we will see less business there no doubt whether what is true for a lot of the retailers here we'll probably see is some of the airlines actually getting smaller specially when we are hitting fall and the center for disease

control on friday actually said if in some places the cases are increasing heavily then maybe those places sold those areas will have to be locked down again so what we've seen in march so bottom line is we will see probably rather an even recovery that's what old saw jerome powell the fed chairman into that on wednesday so turbulences are clearly not over at this point even if we had a little bit of a comeback and a little happy and here have pleased them in the friday session you know your correspondents quarter of morning from new york dance thank you. and now a brief look at some of the other business stories making headlines. europe's industrial production suffered the worst drop in its history in april on average you factories produce 17 percent less than they did a month earlier that's according to the euro stat statistics office italy
