well i can sort of the say that the shard and friday on part of those people who oppose breck that is sort of palatable on this and they're pointing this is saying look i told you so this is what was going to happen it was going to be terrible for the economy but i think as you rightly point out there's quite a few factors control a should in here that make it a bit difficult to compare 1st of all exports and imports typically do drop between december and january so there's a frenetic end of year activity and you generally see a drop into gen-u. that's just absolutely normal so we saw last year something similar quite as big as this the other thing to consider of course is that the u.k. went into fairly tough lockdown again in january so that's going to impact the numbers negatively as well so how does one disassemble that and say how much is bricks it and how much is covert and how much is just the end of year i think it's impossible to do we'll have to wait a few more months as a lockdown is lifted we certainly expect the exports and imports to go back up but how much will will rema

government exploited this vaccination success using it to justify breck's it or is just doing a better job. well that this narrative senate could be seen to play into the hands of the prime minister barak's jonson this suggestion that because the u.k. is now going it alone that it is ahead there are certainly been a lot of reports in newspapers describing the vaccine's rollout as failed and upholding the way it's been done in the u.k. but there are a number of differing factors in the roll out between the u.k. and the e.u. the u.k. deciding for example to leave up to 12 weeks between doses that's been a factor in the speed of its a rollout also the fact that it approved by the find that and the oaks would vaccines but there is little doubt that the u.k. vaccine rollout has been just a cold feet i mean over one in 3 adults now is receive the dose of the vaccine it is something that is is being celebrated here in the u.k. particularly given the heavy toll that the current virus has. has taken here in the u.k. and the extremely high death toll that people have suffered here ok thank you f

the loyalist communities council says it's suspending its role in the good friday agreement over breck's it they say it's destructive trade and commerce between northern ireland and the rest of the u.k. the 1998 deal ended the 3 decade conflict between catholic nationalists and protestant unionists childer holidays in london and says it comes down to being consulted on changes. i'm not sure there's any realistic immediate threat to the integrity of the good friday agreement itself after all this is an agreement that's backed by public support as much as anything else nor is there any sense that the parties to the former troubles really want any real return to the troubles or resumption of violence but this being northern ireland it's impossible to say where things like this might go where they might end so we're talking here about the loyalist communities council the l.c.c. this is an umbrella group that represents what remains of a number of loyalist paramilitary groups that were largely disbanded certainly disarmed under the good friday agreement of 1998 the l.c.c. as you say writing t

trade between the united kingdom and the european union took a hit in january as breck's it was finally made official the u.k. exported $11300000000.00 worth of goods to the in january a 41 percent drop compared to december according to data from the office of national statistics the decline is similar if you compare it to january of 2020 now imports to britain from the bloc fell by 29 percent to $22600000000.00 in january compared to december overall the u.k.'s exports plunged by 19 percent with imports falling by 22 percent the largest decline since records began in 1997 british exports to 9 nations increased slightly for the month while exports fell by 8 percent so for more on this and what's moving markets money just bring in our savior n.z. c.e.o. of optimist l.l.c. actively always a pleasure to have you on the show. is this a trend we're going to see continue to see due to bracks it or is this all amplified by the ongoing pandemic and the fact that there was some stockpiling of goods before bracks it became official at the beginning of this year what are you seeing here. well i ca

following breck's it due to red tape that they're incurring is this going to be a lasting problem or just some growing pains of brecht's it well i think brant what you're going to see is that growing pains big for small companies growing pains honest big the big companies the global firms that have been far better positioned in terms of obviously all the stuff that they have to deal with all the additional red tape i think what you will see is you know to refer to the m.p. in the u.k. richard holden who's actually been hailing. and the whole international trade department for now the 9 trillion pound access to the pacific rim the pacific trade agreement and so global culture corporations are going to benefit for that so in terms of business the usual small businesses i think are going to continue to fuel this longer than the logical peroration. vaccine roll out in the u.k. prime minister boris johnson he said saturday that the country would continue with his plan to reopen after the most recent lockdowns saying the economy will quote bounce back strongly later this year what's it goi

actually i would say rachel this is being quite a sort of a victory for those that were those that were breck's it is because it's actually pointed rather to the e.u. double in terms of the brussels rollout actually even to the extent that the lay in the current commissioner she had to release a statement last wednesday saying that you know mass production hasn't been what they anticipated to be and actually sort of pointed deliveries haven't been on time sort of pointing the finger elsewhere but this definitely has been an indication that a big bureaucracy doesn't work as well as a as an efficient distribution distribution system that the u.k. has by the national health system so this is very much been a victory for the british and i would say also in terms of production because of course factories offices and the u.k. program productivity nationwide is predicted to increase as you mentioned by the o.e.c.d. and what they're saying is by about 5 percent which they have now released op woods from their prediction of last year certainly a win for the u.k. and they will take anyone they can get ri
