again today we have long heard the dup echo the sentiments of the erg, saying that the irish border doese an impediment to getting a free trade agreement. but the reaction sinn fein has been the opposite. again today we have heard them saying that any proposal to use technology is just pure fantasy. russia's president, vladimir putin, says the two men that britain accuses of carrying out the nerve agent attack on sergei and yulia skripal in salisbury are not criminals. britain says alexander petrov and ruslan boshirov are members of russia's military intelligence, but president putin says the men are civilians, and he hopes they will give their side of events. jenny kumah reports. on their way to allegedly carry out a deadly nerve agent attack in salisbury. the british government says these two men are russian military intelligence officers responsible for the plot to murder the former russian spy sergei skripal and his daughter. they have been named as alexander petrov and ruslan boshirov. russia has always denied any involvement, but now president putin is saying his government has fou

laura, what is the erg trying to achieve?eir colleagues mad that they are trying to express widespread displeasure with the government's is in part. they are trying to show a potential way out from what does seem to be quite an impasse in the talks. the other things some brexiteers are trying to do is put the frighteners on theresa may to rattle her cage to say, you must change your mind or else we might force it upon you. i think, in the wider sense, the government is absolutely adamant, whatever that group says finau, there is no chance of them changing their path unless and until they have absolutely no choice but to do so. the irish border question has long been a tote up border question has long been a tote up the wider struggle for whose version of brexit will win out. after we leave, will we be the best of friends, the most intimate of neighbours living in each other‘s pockets, or will we go to do something different, to do what many brexiteers would feel is the right thing, to make a more dramatic break with the rest

what this report, which i commend to you, this erg report, a very expert report makes playing is thet is simply no threat whatsoever to the integrity of the single market. that is something else which we take seriously. the second thing the paper does and you have heard it two or three times already today is that it remind you that there is a border there already. this is not a non—border, it is an invisible border and therefore there are mechanisms that deal with that border. you have heard vat, excise, judicial, currency, it is a very serious border and the mechanism for all of thoseissues border and the mechanism for all of those issues exist already. there are three reasons for borders. no—one is fiscal, that is tariffs and vat, corporation tax, excise and duty. one is regulatory and one is origin, controlling rules of origin. the paper deals with all of those things very well. on the fiscal front, the european union has offered a zero tariff no quota arrangement, so there is no question of any additional financial transaction having to take place at the border than takes place n

government to fight communists -- erge in -- sub virgin subversion. the supreme court upheld the smith act of 1940 which made advocating revolution a crime. this decision resulted in the communistsof 11 top who were convicted for advocating the violent overthrow of the u.s. government. concerns was the kim philby case philby was a british spy -- case. philby was a british spy. 1951, as a result of his disclosures, hundreds of agents died. philby also tipped off a fellow british spy in 1951. despite two secret trials, philby was allowed to go on working for mi six until he defected in 1963 to the soviet union. it is important to remember most of the work of the soviet union's intelligence organization, the kgb, involved unglamorous matters and high-profile spies were far more the exception than the rule. book by harvey claire points out the kgb's american operations involved largely industrial as spinouts -- industrial espionage. were far more private sector engineers than government officials. these revelations of soviet espionage, coupled with the fa

there's at least one who is up at 3.50% but over three-quart ergs of them are below 2 -- quarter of them are below 2.50%. >> none of this matters if it's above 2%, correct? >> correct. if we adopt an assumption of 2% we might have a discussion. but as long as we're above 2%, it's not going to have a direct impact. but generally you can see across these different groups most of the assumptions are below 3%, 2.5% to 2.25%, and the difference being in the public plan database somebody out there is assuming 4.5%. i'm not sure how they do that, but someone is doing that. >> we -- just for timing purposes, can we move forward to wage inflation? >> yep. >> we're still far away from any sort of -- >> let me just hit the last bullet on this slide is that we suggest that you consider reducing this assumption to 2.75% from 3%. so wage inflation, i was going to go through very quickly. there's some data here but let me get to the punch line of the data. which is -- that price inflation data was all national price inflation. if you look at bay area, that bay area inflation has been about 50 basis poi

and said that the final destination is disastrous forjobs and prosperity if they were to follow the erg'sg. concerning laissez faire attitude to cross-border smuggling. that is not the case. the, with respect, they simply have it wrong. that is the way to solve the issue, there is a lot that government can do to help business get ready, get the systems in place. that is the logical way to do it: i can see that is the only solution at this point. what is not a solution, is what they have been campaigning all along which is for us to remain in a customs union, thatis us to remain in a customs union, that is what people voted for when they voted to leave the eu. finally, briefly if you would, how happy would you be with extending the transition period if it meant you got your technological fix but it is some years got your technological fix but it is some yea rs away got your technological fix but it is some years away because we don't have the innovation there yet. some years away because we don't have the innovation there yetlj don't think there is any need for that, this is a solution tha
