brexit has made some look elsewhere.ationship is something that many of them felt was important and want to prioritise as we go forward. banks, accountants, insurers, law firms, all clustered together. it is one of the uk's big draws, but does that even matter any more? i think people want to get back to offices and when the government starts to open up stores and restaurants etc you will see this building packed pretty quickly i think. in our own minds what we are currently thinking is early summer. the uk government thought that financial services could look after itself. on this evidence, maybe they were right. the chancellor will certainly hope so. simon jack, bbc news. it has been announced that the actor christopher plummer has died, after a career that spanned 60 years. born in canada, he was best known for his role in the oscar—winning musical the sound of music. he died and his home in connecticut at the age of 91. christopher plummer, the noble, uptight captain von trapp whose heart was melted by music and mari

i just worry a bit about the post—brexit noise from eu member states towards britain and vice—versa. isn't an ongoing battle between the uk and some of the bigger beasts of europe. they need to cool it. we'd be collateral damage in all of that. britain wants a two—year extension to the grace period for the northern ireland protocol, but mr martin told me it had to be limited. does that mean weeks, months, years? it is modest. it can be a year, for example... so there would definitely be a timeframe that it has to happen within a year? in my view, yeah. this intervention comes amid heightened tension over the northern ireland protocol. staff implementing checks at the ports of larne and belfast were temporarily withdrawn after worries about their safety. there are growing unionist fears that eu customs checks have created a border between northern ireland and britain. the atmosphere is potentially volatile. you can see how it can tip over very quickly, and therefore we have to be very vigilant that it doesn't. because one of the big fears is that the loyalist paramilitaries are given

we don't know the full implications of brexit. let's wait three months, six months, and see how it settles down, and then i think we start to see the u.k. market looking a lot more attractive to overseas investors. private equity has already been very active in the markets so far this year. in the last hour -- guy: in the last hour, alex and i were debating the commodity cycle and the best way to play that. were one to emerge, a lot of minors here -- is that a good idea? alan: the first decade of the century, i think back then it came to a grinding halt because minors back then were investing huge amounts of money into greenfield sites, brownfield sites, capex. this time around, there is a greater degree of discipline around minors, and notwithstanding the point that they have had a pretty good covid from a share price standpoint, london is the place to come if you want to continue to play strength in commodities. iron ore is an important commodity for all -- for most if not all, certainly diversified minds. you have to be trading
