andrew smith joins us now.ith the latest developments in the s&p 500, pretty much flat for the year with the gains we have seen in 2020, how much of a danger is it that we are going to see a serious lip to the recovery story if the stimulus deal is not done by the end of this year? andrew: glad to be here. recent volatility really was to be expected. we see on top of the covid uncertainty with the second wave of cases, the lack of the monetary stimulus or fiscal stimulus coming online, the political uncertainty, geopolitical landscape. it is important to note that the massive liquidity that came into play in march with lower interest rates, we have seen the oecd with 30 countries, the breath of recovery starting to unfold. the risk asset spectrum will not have that same catastrophic event that we saw in march. haidi: the overnight session in the u.s. was ruled by investors what issed about following. one of the threats that is picking up this week was the comment about the chance that the fed would raise rates

andrews and aberdeen. here's our scotland editor, sarah smith. students in pubs — it is to be expected.to stay out of bars and restaurants. it is a pretty drastic move. students not going to pubs, is that going to work? it's obviously the right advice that we should be maintaining social distance and stuff but to be honest, i don't think it's realistic. i think if there's a limit for people to go out until ten o'clock, i don't see why it should exclude students. at the glasgow university halls of residence, a testing site is producing more positive results and each confirmed case puts a whole flat of ten or 12 students into total lockdown. this is a 12—person flat. this is our kitchen. there are all our occupants here. tuition continues, with online lectures. three of these students have confirmed coronavirus, so they can't even get out to the launderette. 0bviously, staying inside for two weeks after moving to this flat, like, i've only been here for a week. and meeting these people and knowing these people for a week and having to stay with them for two weeks and not able to leave the

further outbreaks in dundee, st andrews and aberdeen, mean there are now more than 1000 students self—isolating. here's our scotland editor, sarah smithcoronavirus test wasn't exactly what these glasgow university students were looking forward to. more tests mean more positive results, and each one then puts a whole flat of ten or 12 students in these halls of residence into total lockdown. just down there behind this cordon are some of the first year students who are now confined to their flat. this is a 12 person flat. this is the kitchen. all our occupants here. tuition continues with online lectures, three of the students have confirmed coronavirus, so they can't even get out to the launderette. 0bviously, staying inside for two weeks after moving to this flat, like, i've only been here for a week and meeting these people and knowing these people for a week and then having to stay with them for two weeks not able to leave the place is quite challenging. this is really tough for teenagers away from home for the first time. but students cannot go back to families who live in scotland, as two households aren't allowed to mix. the aut
