firstly the global economy has been doing very well, because of brexit britain is missing out on the well when the global environment is strong, but one thing it is simply to do with the fact that weak sterling is good for those companies. cast your mind back to the time after the referendum. so evenif the time after the referendum. so even if you don't want to spend your wea ker even if you don't want to spend your weaker pounds abroad, generally speaking this is good for people who have got their money invested in stock market and that is most of us, isn't it? it is good for the present value of our pensions, but if you think the weaker sterling affects a negative trend, a lower exchange rate means lower market are putting a lower rate of growth in the uk in the long run and that's mainly because of sterling so mainly because of sterling so mainly because of sterling so mainly because of brexit. even though the ftse is doing good, if the risks did materialise it means in the long run uk households are likely to be worse off according to markets. thank you very much indeed. europe's

well, for manyn post-brexit britain, the pomp and pageantry of the royal wedding that will unite prince harry and the american actress meghan markle is a reassuring balm in uncertain times. and, for an economy that could luse a boost, it is lookie the wedding, and the industry built around it, could be woh a princely sum. so we sent our europe-based economics and garden party correspondent, malcolm brabant, to windsor on this hardship assignment. >> reporter: in class-obsessed britain, there is no greater social cache than ving one's face emblazoned across kitsch. if meghan markle ever doubts her newfound status, confirmationst comes from p bags, tea towels, commemorative plates and mugs... ..and the smile on the face of shopkeeper malkit singh aujla.nk >> tou very much. everybody getting ready for wedding. >> we've got a little bell. tom likes bells. it's nice to keep. >> things are going very great now. it's more than what we were expecting. all the wedding stuff is going like hot cakes. >> bye, have a good day. >> and you. >> repter: the memorabilia takes on a slightly more further a

well, with ten months to go until britain leaves the eu, we're in liverpool looking at brexit and whatry much. we are here in liverpool. nearly 15 years to the day it was named european capital of culture, a title is then took up in 2008. there were lots of exa m ples took up in 2008. there were lots of examples around here of what that has meant for liverpool. of course leaving the eu means uk cities are no longer eligible to be named capital of culture for europe, one of the more visible effects leaving the eu has had on the arts and culture industry, but of course it is something that has affected entire swathes of british life. my colleague david sillitoe has been looking at what post brexit britain might look like, the potential benefits and deficits for what might happen once we do leave the eu in a rts happen once we do leave the eu in arts and culture... what you're looking at is the work of a british company called jellyfish, which isjust a part of the uk's fast—growing visual effects industry. this is rogue one, star wars, we've done a lot of work on star wars within the last

so, way before brexit, it was considered to tb possible. in britain, it's been showing. and so i think that's just going to come but more so. i have toll say mentioning cameron, i feel quite angry with the man, i really do. the consequences of that are going to long outlive our memory of what it was like to live before brexit. >> one of my colleagues said to me after the vote, david cameron will be remembered as the third prime minister who will be remembered for one thing. and i think that is a fair summary carried up -- summary. tears, eyes of brexit the next few years we pull a bilateral meetings with india, pakistan, estrella, -- australia. what do you need to do in order to encourage that trade? one of the things i will end up offering is a liberal immigration policy. what did voters think they were voting for? a more restrictive and white britain. they may end up actually facing a different reality with migration becoming, reaching new levels of becoming more diverse. it is going to be an interesting interplay between foreign policy on the one hand and britain immi

so my question is, if there is a hard brexit and the economy in britain is not going to skyrocket, what's the going to do to british defense. doesn't render moot what we've just been talking about. because if you get no ships and you've troops, you don't have much to say. >> one thing that i would weigh in here is you have to think about what does the uk does have going for it. they have very capable special operations capability, although not tremendous amount of lift capability. they are still a powerful global nuclear state. so i think in those terms i defer to matthew in terms of the direct impact on the budget. we've seen this and a lot of of the countries whether it's australia or whatever. i think when we see people focus on the comparative advantages. >> i mean, i certainly agree with much of that. i would come back to the question asked. let's fast forward to guest: 2022.ah it's a shocking thought that the anglo-american relationship might be actually really on fire with jeremy corbyn and bernie sanders as your [laughing] it's possible. it's entirely possible, right. but on a mor

hard—core brexiters say remove all reference to the single market, even though you can have written in the customs union, which is what the eu has proposed which is causing a bit of rancour within britainn the brexit camp. and really, how is the government able to strike a balance beyond these talks? now, the question beyond 2021, remaining in the customs union until 2021, is that going to be acceptable to the brexiters devoted to leave? you have colleagues, you sit with a lot of clever people. the sub cabinet and cabinet committees are trying to find a way through this. the old line that he would have thought someone line that he would have thought someone would have had an answer and got planning a long time ago. yeah. that is not seem to be happening. you exasperated at what has gone on when you are looking at these cabinet subcommittees that are still not come to any conclusions? well, i look at it from a different vantage point because i work internationally. the real question is what is in our national interest? what kind of agreement can you strike for britain without compromising its ability to trade with its neighbours? i think that is going to be key and a really difficult ba

brexiteers won't like any customs compromise. there is still a chance that parliament may demand britain stays inside the eu customs system, and brussels the whole idea. brexit was always likely to lead to trouble in the cabinet, in parliament, and in brussels. theresa may surely can't have imagined it would be quite this tough. labour has sacked debbie abrahams as shadow work and pensions secretary, after investigating allegations of workplace bullying. ms abrahams, the mp for oldham east and saddleworth, rejected the allegations and said the investigation had not been fair or independent. rail companies are launching a consultation to try to make buying a train ticket simpler and fairer. the rail delivery group, which represents railfirms, says there are some 55 million different fare combinations in the current system, and it admits that customers aren't always offered the cheapest fare available. our transport correspondent victoria fritz reports. crowded, expensive, and the busiest in europe, and with 55 million different types of fares on britain's railways, it is little wonder that two thirds of passengers aren't even sure if th

what will you do to work with britain now in its brexit arrangements? e, this needs negotiations. this needs practical arrangements. the devil is in the detail as always. it is a long way ahead of us, but britain can... should believe in poland as their ally. the important thing is that britain is still part of the west. it still has assets in europe. europe has its assets in britain, especially in the sphere of defence and security. and you have brought me finally, on that note, to relations with russia now. there is a lot of fear among eu member states of russia and its actions. where does poland stand? we are the first, as the border country, we are the first exposed to the offensive capacities being built by russia and we have to respond to that by balancing his offensive capacity is by our defensive capacities so we are secure. thank you very much. spotify has spoken and its made a deicison. it will no longer have r&b star r kelly on its playlist. # i see nothing wrong # with a little bump and grind # i see nothing wrong # baby # i see nothing wrong

it's calling on the government to allow eu workers to still come to britain after brexit.rts. the bingham is a prestigious hotel and restaurant in london. 70% of its highly trained staff are eu nationals, and its french manager is very worried about what will happen when britain leaves the single market. i think it's going to be hugely difficult to get the quality of the people i have right now, going forward, because obviously the english people don't see hospitality as a career, and therefore we will have slightly less—skilled, if i may say, people. the hospitality sector is the fourth—biggest employer, with three million people working in pubs, restaurants and hotels. 1a% are from the eu, while in london it is much higher. workers in pubs and hotels are officially considered low—skilled, and recruiters say that employers should do more to encourage british workers to consider hospitality as a career. so one of our messages to government is, at some point, we need to think carefully about how we promote the uk as a good place to come and live and work. so the debate can'
