what about sky news itself?cerned about disney perhaps wanting to get involved there because disney and news do not normally go together? they have a good track record in news in the us and they are also trying to buy fox and if that comes off, they will all sky anyway. this isa off, they will all sky anyway. this is a side deal to take control of sky news and that is a way of appeasing some of the critics. they said they did not want the murdoch family to have any control of sky news because they have too much control over the uk media market. thank you forjoining us. time for a look at the weather... a fine enter the day for most of us. the sun came out and it was a pleasa nt the sun came out and it was a pleasant afternoon. not a lot of clear whether initially but we will see cloud invading again from the east across much of the east of scotla nd east across much of the east of scotland and the east of thing and, keeping ploughed into the channel islands and the far south west of england, one or two showers.

sky news as part of sky and if 21st century fox buy sky they have to sell the sky news business.onclusion to the regulatory situation which has taken a very long time and that the proposals which fox put into the public domain earlier in the year this year in regard to selling sky news to disney to lay all concerns about murder family influence on public opinion, that those were a very decisive move in the right direction. we were expecting that to be the preferred option of the cma and the secretary of state because it absolutely solves that problem. what actually is going to happen is that fox has to buy sky in order to sell sky news to buy sky in order to sell sky news to disney. so the next phase is going to happen in five to six weeks' time when fox tables in new bid for sky, having gotten the approval of the secretary of state to its whole bid, he will have signed off on all the conditions and remedies and so on, which we expect he will require disney to back up, so not just fox he will require disney to back up, so notjust fox having made those commitments but disney backi

one is that fox must off—load sky news.ts authority, the cma, concluded that a merger could be against the public interest. rupert murdoch already owns several uk newspapers. they found a cause for concern in those areas, first the potential erosion of sky news editorial independence, which could lead to a reduction in the diversity of viewpoints available to and consumed by the public. and second, the possibility of an increased influence of the murdoch family trust over public opinion and the uk political agenda. saying he agreed with the cma, he turned to some possible solutions. i agree with the cma, that divesting sky to disney as proposed by fox, or alternative buyer, with agreement to ensure they're funded for ten years, is likely to be the most proportionate and effective remedy for the public interest concerns that have been identified. the cma report said that draft terms for such investment, and fox has written to me to offer undertakings on effectively the same terms. the next step is a consultation on fox's pro

let's talk about sky, the government clearing the way for the deal with comcast and disney over sky.n this? fox, owned by the murdochs, this has been a thing for many years, the hacking scandal a few years ago, then it was handed back, the idea we're not sure it is in the public interest, perhaps too much interest of the murdoch family if they were to buy sky, so what they have said, if you can promise you will sell off sky news so you don't have that control, yu delu is free to go ahead. as a matter of fa ct, free to go ahead. as a matter of fact, they have already arranged to sell sky news to disney who are awaiting in the background to take over fox —— you are now free to go ahead. soa over fox —— you are now free to go ahead. so a lot for disney to gobble up, but then there was a gate—crasher to the party, comcast in the us who comes in and says, actually we want to buy sky, and now actually we want to buy sky, and now actually we want to buy fox as well, so actually we want to buy fox as well, soa actually we want to buy fox as well, so a real game of thrones, and obviously huge

mark: sky. sky, sky, sky. is it win-win?, because our story said it could spell trouble. why could it be a boon? that is the more obvious one. why might it spell trouble? rebecca: why it might be a boon is if there is a bidding war, disney paid much more for fox. that u.k. takeover regulators might say that means sky is worth more and you will have to pay more for sky. is it could be a bust something unexpected but entirely possible happens, where fox gets carved up in a way that satisfies disney and comcast and leaves sky shareholders hanging out there. of skyhat is the view right now? are they licking their lips or are they worried? rebecca: i do not think they have formed an opinion in the past day, but i will check on that. share priceat skies yesterday, it fell a little bit with all of the speculation of comcast going after fox. today it rose. we have people in both camps. and is there an outcome for sky that is deemed the most likely by analysts and investors? fox, eveno comcast, though it is all interlinked. rebecca:

fox already owns 39% of sky. that values sky at more than 13 pounds a share at the moment.he bid for sky is already at 12.50 pounds a share. that could try but the overall bid. -- drive up the overall bid. however, it also could muddy the waters. if you've got disney and comcast fighting for fox and maybe sky, maybe they didn't decide to divide them up, maybe some take parts of fox, some take parts of sky, and decide they will not have a bidding war at all. the question is still how this will affect the value of sky. at the moment, it trades above comcast's original bid, so many are still hoping this could drive sky ever higher. emily: we are nearing the end of london tech week. what has been a standout for you? caroline: i think the standout has been the commitment of the u.k. government to technology. that was a significant prize, 2.5 billion pounds from private companies. yes, it's coming from the likes of salesforce and japan, but there is a real commitment to shine a light on the sector, and a promise for the future to go into the sector. despite brexit taking up so mu
