there has beena run be a run on the pound?on the pound for the last two years. what it has done is making travel to europe or anywhere else more expensive, made imports more expensive but the other side of the coin, it has made some exports a bit cheaper. your shadow chancellor is talking about something different, he was suggesting, however unlikely, people might want to ta ke however unlikely, people might want to take money out of britain if you are elected, why do you think people would do that? i would hope they would do that? i would hope they would recognise we want an investment led economy, that we are going to increase taxation to corporations and the very wealthiest, to invest in the education of our children, invest in improvements to heart health care, set upa improvements to heart health care, set up a national investment bank, which will provide a better basis for industrial developments and investment in the future. it costs oi'i investment in the future. it costs on the way there, but the benefits of decent ch

if there has beena help somebody like... ? has been told to me as a member of parliament looking at consumer law, that this was a breach of the information, it was a mis—selling breach, but it needs to be properly investigated and compensated. and i think this is one whole part of a puzzle about what happens on consumer issues after we leave the eu, because consumer issues don't stop at the border. there are over 100,000 british people live in france. there is a very small number of cases, but we do need to make sure that consumer continue to exist, which is why we are going to have a full debate in westminster the week after next on consumer issues. richard green, can you offer any hope to tom bailey, can you come to some arrangement?” any hope to tom bailey, can you come to some arrangement? i have a couple of points. i also believe that there has been a degree of mis—selling in some cases here. and i do have great sympathy for some of my compatriots. in tom's case, before we run away with ourselves, tom will very soon be th

think below the headlines there has beena fair think below the headlines there has been a fair bit ofre has been progress on for example discussing the rights of eu citizens in britain and british citizens overseas. there was a lot of discussion, no conclusions, but a lot of discussion about the border between northern ireland and the irish republic and there has been discussion, but no agreement on whether we do or don't owe any money to the european union. so, we're going to see a lot of working taking place over the next few months. but we have made considerable progress, but i'm afraid my familiarity with european negotiations, thinking about when david cameron was negotiating the deal last time, is a lot of work and a lot of the discussion and agreement doesn't happen until we get until the end and that's what will happen this time. there seems to have some movement about a transition deal. we heard the chancellor talk about it and we heard liam fox talk about it. do you think that's where we're going to end up where there is not much change and people won't notice much change an

it substantial inside, and if there had beena substantial inside, and if there had been a substantialgely different. what we're seeing is it is not easy to make bombs that are effective, certainly without professional help. thankfully, in this case, whoever did this failed to achieve what they wanted to achieve. it is what people fear the whole time, londoners, millions of us travel on the tube everyday. it's very much on people's minds. absolutely, and this touches people in different ways. for example, my daughter was on the train that was behind the one that had the explosion. she could easily have beenin explosion. she could easily have been in the carriage where this happened. i was in the train during the 7/7 bombings, several chains behind. so we all understand that this is an attempt to get at us all, to terrify us, but what we have to do is to accept that thankfully the chances of these maniacs, and i use that word advisedly, succeeding, is very low. and that we have some of the best security services in the world. we have some of the best counterterrorism police services in

that has beena would happen post- brexit?ate the challenge that brexit poses to science. it is a very significant challenge. a positive thing about it is it shows the government making an overdue to the government making an overdue to the eu and saying these are the ways in which we currently collaborate on science with the eu and we want to discuss how to keep this going in the future. so i see it as the uk government being quite positive and say that all options are still on the table and we want to negotiate perhaps closer ways that can work with the eu particularly on science. give us an idea, nick, how much do you talk to european colleagues at how important is that relationship between scientists here and european scientists? i've had many conversations in a typical day with astronomers across europe, as well astronomers across europe, as well as in other countries. we discuss the scientific research projects, proposals we will put forward for funding, to build projects or to move projects forward or to bring a project

there has beena with an bombarded with.to sell something to an existing customer than it is to find a new customer. at times where retail this challenge, everyone will be doing everything they can to convert a bigger sale or order from the customer in front of them. whilst i absolutely think guidelines and awareness are really good, i do think customers are really intelligent. you wouldn't have had them move into supermarket away from these packaged bladon supermarket brands to more transparent supermarket brands like the discounters, if we didn't use our power as consumers to make good decisions. i think with a prompt like this and awareness that would probably be enough, but you won't get a retailer moving away from upselling, like upgrading your car like upgrading your coffee.” suppose it becomes habit. you might go and buy your paper in the morning ora go and buy your paper in the morning or a magazine and you are a chocolate bar, a huge chocolate bar sometimes, itjust becomes habit, doesn't it? the thing for retailers

at no point has there beena today, 4.3%. at no point has there been a rate rise.es. that has not been happening and that is what we are talking about. a complicated world, for the bank of england to decide whether to raise rates. and £10 note? charlie is not allowed to touch it. yes, keep it well away from him. the new £10 note, out today. it is staying flat, because charlie decided to crumple up the last one. there is always one. the a p pa re ntly last one. there is always one. the apparently uncreasable banknote, which is now very creased. it has lots of new security features, little holograms and things. we will be speaking to victoria cleveland, she will explain to us how the changes have been made to stop counterfeiting. i think the fact that it has a very large see—through window, and in that we have some very clever holographic 's, so on the fund, you have winchester cathedral, where jane austen is buried, and it is gold on the front, and you turn it over and it is silver on the back. that is easy for the public to identify the buried ethical for the count

it has beena if it is a good or bad year. it has been a good year.you will get. the crop totally depends on a week in may. we could get a lot orjust a few. it depends on nature. 7- 800 tons of apples, would that be about right? yes. i would that be about right? yes. i would say it somewhere around 700. six weeks does not sound like very long when you have got all of these to pick across the field. you get extra help this time of year. we depend on seasonal labour. we are experimenting with mechanical harvesting. we can afford to do that. but we are not there yet. that is why we definitely need help. and where does that labour come from? all over the world, notjust locally. migrant labour. very much so. locally. migrant labour. very much so. we worry about that in terms of brexit. interesting. thank you very much. johnnies us as well. —— john is. the whole industry is increasingly part of a tourist industry. not only this time of year but when all of these trees are in bloom is actually a moment when people love to come and see them and do tours here.
