no, said the cbi's jody wright.ike a cover-up. >> nothing in his statement matched anything that i knew to be at the crime scene. it just didn't make sense. none of it. >> it wasn't really that ralph changed his story in his "world journal" manifesto, not exactly. more like he kept adding to it. so he watches very carefully what you're doing and tailors his story to match what he thinks you're finding. >> exactly. >> ralph kept explaining, kept offering not less, but more details. about, for example, the drawer pulls in his house, the ones investigators removed to test for fingerprints. >> in the event that one of the invasion persons touched them. >> now here's ralph with the police at his house just after pam was murdered. noticing the missing knobs. >> what happened to all the knobs? >> he was very upset that they were missing. >> i don't understand why the knobs are gone. >> and he would know you're looking for fingerprints of these home invaders. >> well, yes. >> but what if they didn't find any fingerprints be

the cbi says it could convince investors to pack their bags. them, this is what we're going to do, some things you like, some things you want. you will be able to get it decent rate of return but we expect you to share some of those profits with your workers. i think that's completely reasonable. you want to transform the economy in a short period of time. what happens in week one of john mcdonald in a number 11? time. what happens in week one of john mcdonald in a number“? the first instructions is we are rewriting the greenback. we are doing that now and hope to publish our redraft by christmas. we will define for them the criteria on which they will make their investment and the criteria will be about raising productivity, making sure we tackle climate change and making sure we end of the regional disparity of investment. we will be able to hand them that and say these are the criteria we will used for our decisions. one labour mp suggested if it is not the general election there should be a general strike. it's not labour party policy. i un

meanwhile, the head of the cbi, carolyn fairburn, has called for pragmatism to come before politics,h sides "must change tack". for more on this let's talk to the conservative backbencher marcus fysh, who supports brexit, and hejoins us from his constituency in somerset. thank you very much. what did you make of theresa may's tone and her message? well, i think she was absolutely right, to focus on the importance of northern ireland, in this negotiation, the eu hasn't put on the table a realistic solution to that. i think it is time, now, to focus on the pragmatic, solutions which have there. i was in brussels earlier this week, and speaking to assembled customs brokers and freight forwards from all over europe who were there to see hmrc and the eu commission and they were saying that while the chequers proposals and the can comes agreement proposal are unworkable, there is solution based on behind there is solution based on behind the border administration of the differences between our two jurisdiction, that is what was proposed to the commission and i think there is the germ of a

the cbi, i love them dearly, some of them are my best friends but really they are hopeless.y the customs union and there are technological solutions to the irish border and i think that will be part of fudge which was mentioned by michel barnier. the daily telegraph we will turn back to an gp appointments go unused at the weekend. many of us did not even realise that you have the option of agp realise that you have the option of a gp appointment at the weekend.” had a doctor's appointment at the weekend recently. i did know that but more than one in four gp appointments are unused at weekends which is a huge amount. it is really ha rd which is a huge amount. it is really hard to get a doctor's appointment and can take weeks to get an appointment and this idea that there are available slots that are going unused at the weekend according to the telegraph, this is mostly a matter of people being unaware that the slots access and you can get weekend surgeries. that is disappointing, but i agree with every single word. we have found the consensus. they sold it for us. we are goin

and everyone from the cbi to the tuc to her own chancellor are telling her the same thing, the checkersapart by her own mps. when will the prime minister publish a real plan that survives contact with her cabinet and with reality? those are of course two very separate concepts. when will we get proposals that would jobs and the economy ahead of the survival of herself and her own government? we have published a plan that we are discussing with the european union that injures that we deliver on the bow —— vote of the british people and injures we bring an end to be free movement and come out of the cap and commons fisheries policies and no sending vast amounts of money to the eu every year, no longer having the european court ofjustice here. what i am doing is negotiating a brexit deal for britain, i am making sure that the economy works for everyone, i am building a stronger, fairer country. what is the right honourable gentleman doing? he is trying to change his party. so anti—semites can called the creation of israel racist and he should be ashamed of himself. it was then the turn of

repeatedly said that no deal is debt than a bad deal but no deal is a bad deal, and everyone from the cbilor are telling her the same thing, the chequers proposal is dead, already ripped apart by her own mps. when will the prime minister publish a real plan that survives contact with her cabinet and with reality? those are of course two very separate concepts. when will we get proposals that could jobs and the economy ahead of the survival of herself and her own government. what i'm doing is negotiating a brexit deal for britain. i'm making sure that the economy works for everyone. i'm building a stronger, fairer country. what is the right honourable gentleman doing? he is trying to change his party so anti—semites can call the creation of israel racist. and he should be ashamed of himself. it was then the turn of the snp leader at westminster. the prime minister's chequers plan is even more unpopular than the poll tax. why is the prime minister gambling with scotland's future by taking us out the eu against her will with her disastrous chequers plan? the only people who are gambling with

time doing so and in fact i was deeply encoded by the welcome we received from the fsb, the ayodi, the cbiget do not share the anti trade, anti—capitalist agenda and the party opposite increasingly seems to see the model they prefer for britain as the venezuelan model. a report from the university of sussex three days ago identified that a third of uk exporting firms lost business because of brexit. how will be strategy helps support existing jobs in export? the honourable gentleman seems to have overlooked the fact that i were exports rose to a record £429 billion in the 12 months ending july 2018 and we are witnessing a strong export performance by the uk and the aim of the government is to see that continue. the north—east is the only region that exports more than it imports. employers, employees, trade associations and trade unions all agree that a no—deal brexit will destroy jobs. what is he doing specifically to protect north—east businesses from a no—deal brexit and to ensure that we continue to export successfully around the world? the government is trying to ensure we get a good d

and cbi. and he had some interface with min. what was her relationship with min? >> her relationship with min was lunch onevited to day, and at the table was this with a beard, man and some of the other people at ignoring were just him. she got to talking to him. found him delightful. very soft-spoken, very erudite. chi min. was hoc was orn't know who he would become, but that was her interaction with him. >> to your left. >> yes, sir? very much for this evening. >> thank you. india,that theater, the burma theater, the one that know, know about, you were there any mention of the of their memoirs as to how they may have helped advantages? marauders was at mitchenau when it was retain, i believe. so the o.s.s. had their agents spotting for doing them. that's one example. these guys were everywhere. okay? they were into everything. so, yes, in memoirs, you will mention of the o.s.s. people. sometimes they were not complimentary, because, you know, they thought they were had no brained, discipline whatsoever. silk pants,rachute stuff like that. >> and though the focus

to discuss it further i am joined by the head of the cbi. what is wrong with shares the workers? interest. john mcdonnell said in other countries it takes more productive. shares for workers is a good idea and businesses do back it. what is more of a problem is making it compulsory at 1% and 10% levels. 0ther compulsory at 1% and 10% levels. other countries do not do that. what we really need to worry about is investment in the uk. businesses have been resilient in the face of brexit uncertainty but they are asking questions about these policies which, nationalisation through to tax increases to pay caps, without this announcement, why invest in the uk when there are so many other choices? loss of investment would mean lower productivity and lower pay. the real worry is that harms the very people labour are trying to help. 0n nationalisation, the railways been nationalised, this seems to be a very popular argument, particularly when people look at it and think these companies have failed them. there must be some responsibility from these companies to a nswer responsibility from t

this is getting into slightly nightmare territory and we are starting to get press releases from the cbi calling quite vulnerable and scared because of brexit. due to the plan to be nationalised utilities is a bit less controversial? the railways seems to be quite popular. what about other utilities? does it add up? what is interesting about the nationalisation policy is that until la st nationalisation policy is that until last year there was a consensus in westminster that nationalisation wouldn't be very popular and it was a throwback to the 1970s. when you look at how these policies poll, they're very popular stories which going to feel sorry for shareholders or executives being taken under state control? there have possibly been negative reports about how these companies have been run and tax structures. the question of whether it can be paid for, i actually accept labour's argument that it may cost somewhere less than £90 billion to nationalise the water industry and you can borrow that from investors at something like one or 2% from investors at something like one or2%a yearand fr

cbi thursday. u.s. retail sales numbers friday.e decisions from the bank of england and the european central bank. right now, let's turn to trade. the president upping his stakes when he said there are more tariffs coming. he said "i hate to do this, but behind that $200 billion, there is another $276 billion ready to go on short notice, if i want." joining us now on the telephone from hong kong is enda curran. sense of how the reaction is in china to this dual announcement of another to order $57 billion of tariffs, plus the record deficit. enda: by all accounts, they are gearing up for a long, drawnout trade war. we had trade numbers that showed the trade deficit -- or surplus -- are at a record. it is not coming at a great time. freeurplus is driven by orders, people trying to get orders done before tariffs. and strong demand on the u.s. side peers signals from beijing are they are willing to fight this. they have threatened retaliation. they have increased a rebate on exporters for up to 400 goods coming to america, which is ef

but it continues the uncertainty, i spoke to the head of cbi who said businesses are worried. way out for the country that won't damage business, not damage jobs and not going to damage our economy. you sound very sure that theresa may‘s deal if she gets one would be voted down. but what is going on here, isn‘t that helping her case. she can go to the backbenchers and those worried about backing her agreement and say, look, if you‘re not careful you will get no brexit, look at what labour is up to. you‘re helping get her deal through parliament?” labour is up to. you‘re helping get her dealthrough parliament? i don't think. so i think there are enough conservative mps who have... would also been very worried about a no—deal brexit or a canada—type deal and wouldn't vote for that. the only danger is she comes back with a fudge. people want a decision made one way or another. the idea we just kick the can down the road to delay the difficult decision and again we will have to have this debate. people have had enough and want it sorted one way or another. i'm confident we will en

we think it is going to hit 2.3% by sete -- on cbi by the end of the year.he ecb can exit in december and we think they will hike rates as soon as they can. they have promised us they will not hike and the summer. our economists believe by september of the next year, we will get the first ecb rate hike. that will put us back to zero rates in the eurozone. >> after $13 trillion of liquidity is pumped into the system, the cpi is only reaching --point something percent despite the massive injection of liquidity, the economies of europe have not recovered. they are extraordinarily weak. i am worried. i agree that qe was the right thing to do. it was right to bail out the system and protect the public from the collapse of the system, but the question is that it needed more than qe. you cannot expect central banks to stimulate demand. warnedthe one that governments they cannot spend to revive the economy. they cannot spend to stimulate the economy. when they reach 90% of gdp, the world falls apart. here in britain, with public debt it 90% of gdp despite all of the

. >> the core of why we are here is an allegation for which the four witnesses cbi present have all saidit did not happen. >> let's talk about the witness from connecticut. she thought the yearbook statements were horrible and hurtful and untrue because because renate clearly implied a sexual conquest and that's the reason that you apologized. correct. >> that is false speaking about the yearbook. she has said we never had any sexual interaction so the question is false. i address that in the opening statement so your question is based on a false premise and it does great harm to her i don't know why you bring this up frankly by even bringing her name into it it is unfortunate. >> calling someone an alumnus in that way. >> to imply what you are implying? as the number of your football friends at the time as boasting a sexual conquest that's why i bring it up. >> look what you are bringing up right now senator. >> ask your question. >> she is a great person she has always been a great person. we never had any sexual interactions by bringing this up you drag her through the mud it ishe unn

but no deal is a bad deal, and everyone from the cbi to the tuc to her own chancellor telling her theand real plan that survives contact with her cabinet and with reality? those are her cabinet and with reality? those a re two her cabinet and with reality? those are two very separate concepts. when will we get proposals that putjobs and the economy ahead of the survival of herself and her own government? we have published a plan that we are discussing with the eu that we are discussing with the eu that ensures we deliver on the fate of the british people, that ensures we bring an end to freedom of movement, that we come out of the common fisheries policy, no longer send vast amounts of money to the eu every year, no longer have the jurisdiction of the european court ofjustice in this country, that we don't have a hard border or a border between northern ireland and great britain. what i'm doing is negotiating a brexit deal for britain. i'm making sure the economy works for everyone. i'm building a stronger, fairer country. what is the right honourable gentleman doing? he's trying to c

we can speak now tojosh hardie who is the cbi's deputy director—general, he joins us from liverpool.he lines. firstly, the migration advisory council recognise that there can be a huge immigration dividend. that immigration is really valuable to our country, whether it is building homes, staffing hospitals, whether at the higher end ofjobs. so in porting to hold onto that. there are two things fundamental to business. even if it isa fundamental to business. even if it is a global arrangement, are there opportunities where we strike great trade deals to have a more flexible system ? trade deals to have a more flexible system? that reflects how we trade with countries we are posted and that should start with the eu. it looks like that's possible, let's build on it. the second is not falling into the trap that this is about the brightest and best. we need people here to build our homes, staff our hospitals, working our hotels. so freedom of movement will end but how do we make sure we reap the immigration dividend available to us? you say it is not about the brightest and best but isn't

some big businesses, the cbi, have said this is a tax on big businesses.terest in the share of national income going to those who own capital and businesses, this ideology that it is the responsibility of business to maximise shareholder value, no responsibility to workers, don't have to pay them well listen to them; is is notjust redistribution of wealth but economic power, making people feel empowered and engaged. of wealth but economic power, making people feel empowered and engaged] harris? student politics, it is best, if you win something and the government decide to take it from someone government decide to take it from someone and take it is the else, thatis someone and take it is the else, that is that of private property. —— tom harris. let me ask you about the leader. you like the message, the policies, what about the message, what about jeremy corbyn? jeremy corbyn is a controversial figure. at the same time, he is carrying the party with him. can you see him in number ten, party with him. can you see him in numberten, can party with him. can y

i enjoyed by a member of the cbi.struction, lab technicians, we need to acknowledge all the skills we need to grow businesses around the country. jolly the answer is that business needs to do a lots more in training up uk—bore network risk? it's not a choice, businesses need to keep investing in people now and we need to see that system working better but we also need access to talent from around the world. if we shut the doors tomorrow we would have huge challenges in running hospitals, social care and growing businesses. surely there is a link between the two, there is no incentive for business to train up uk—born workers when you can recruit very often better educated and qualified eu migrants who are perhaps willing to work for less?|j perhaps willing to work for less?” don‘t recognise that at all, the businesses i talk to care about the people who work for them now and wa nt to people who work for them now and want to invest in training. they say to me the skills they have to invest in training aren‘t fit for pur

that has had criticism from businesses, the cbi saying that would put off investors but labour says it or so. a public inquiry into a contaminated blood scandal, described as the worst treatment disaster in nhs history, opens today. thousands of patients that had transfusions in the 1970s and 1980s were given blood products from overseas infected with hepatitis c and hiv. at least 2,a00 people have died as a result. 0ur health correspondent catherine burns reports. it was supposed to keep them alive, but for many it was a death sentence. thousands of people were infected with hiv and hepatitis c after getting contaminated blood. it is impossible to know how many people were infected by transfusions during surgery or child birth. and thousands of hemophiliacs received contaminated blood too. there were not enough supplies in the uk so some was imported from america, from paid donors and prison inmates. he just was an incredibly brave man. barbara scott's husband, ronald, had hemophilia and contracted hiv. he died a few days after his 50th birthday. it feels like, you know, you kind of d

and yes, alternative energy sources, and yes, alternative energy sources, a figure supported by the cbiis all about something called the birmingham declaration and you might be wondering what that is. it is about countries around the world signing up to a pledge to bring in zero emission vehicles by 2050. at the moment, around 11 countries have signed up, including italy, france, the uae and indonesia with more nations currently in talks to join. the prime minister says the west midlands could become the trailblazer for this new, midlands could become the trailblazerfor this new, green approach in the automotive industry. this afternoon, theresa may told the conference in birmingham that she wa nts conference in birmingham that she wants the uk to be at the forefront of new technology and design when it comes to manufacturing zero emission vehicles. to make this happen, she‘s announced a £106 million funding boost for research and development in green vehicles, new batteries and low carbon technology. jaguar land rover on your patch and we just saw the new jaguar pictures there but what
