the cma's concern is that the disney deal itself will take time to close and the cma has to make a rulinged on this transaction. so there's a bit of gamesmanship on timing. >> thank you very much for joining me sky up about 2.5%. >>> landondowdy has a look at what's buzzing this morning. neil diamond is retiring from touring. he canceled his tour dates for australia and new zealand on advice from his doctors, this coming after recent diagnosis with parkinson disease he was halfway through his 50th anniversary tour >> never got to see him live >> neither did i >>> "game of thrones" stark sisters are teaming up for another special project. sophie turner's wedding. turner asked her to be a bridesmaid to pop singer joe jonas. they are waiting until the final season of "game of thrones" wraps up before planning >> the bigger story is with harrington and his previous love interest on the show as well >> right >> but i love this that's a great thing, and it shows they are getting along well >> it's like us. >> am i going to be a bridesmaid >> sara already took that role >> i will dress up as a b

in a statement the culture secretary said that the cma's findings were provisional.ort is expected in may. i hope the house will understand that i cannot comment successively on the original report before us anonymously for the final report before commenting commenting. i am however aware of the keen interest across the house on this important matter. and i know that members will be closely scrutinizing the provisional findings and will have views on them. in november, sky has threatened to shutdown sky news if it lived to be a plurality obstacle in their bid. will he reject any attempt by the murdochs to blackmail him or the regulator by threatening sky's staff. hear, hear! i will follow the process by taking into consideration the final report once it is published by the ecma. i will consider what it says, i will consider all the relevant evidence and information published by the cma. and then make a decision. mr speaker, we hear reports that owners of sky would be willing to close down sky news if it becomes an impeachment in the bill, with a possible loss of 500

actually, everything but the cma said, and really all it said was echo what another group has alreadydemic if the disney deal goes through. that could take some time. in the meantime, there are 500 people of sky news who do not know if they will have a job in a couple of years time. they are left in an awful limbo. it means that they don't know who will own and. i don't think there is any suggestion that sky news will be closed down. the question is who the ultimate owner will be. disney could buy them. question is who the ultimate owner will be. disney could buy themm does not make money. they are purchasing the fox assets and they could purchase the sky news part of that early. is not, there are other things that could be done to diminish the influence of rude rupert murdoch. it is fascinating when people talk about how much influence he has because they have been media moguls over the years that it cecil king in the 1960s, he was a director of the bank of england and controlled most of the newspapers including the daily mirror. this is not that odd. great british success story, 2a

the parties can give feedback to february.tor through the final cma report will be do on march 6.on on the merger will be made after the final report. this has been a deal that has had pick up after pickup for rupert murdoch. there have been scandals all across this deal. fox owns three major newspapers here in the u k. we've got easyjet reporting first-quarter revenue numbers. 1.1 4 million pounds. -- billion pounds i should say. this is a sector that many people are looking to see what kind of boosts they got in the last quarter after the demise of some of their rivals. companies such as easyjet have benefited. they are under a new ceo. fares hasof uplifting he been able to achieve after the demise of the rivals. we will keep an eye on sky and on easyjet. ones: kuroda's statement is that will be latched on. more comments coming through. the next bank of japan governor needs to have a global perspective. what a day to make that announcement. the world, record after record after record in the united states and asia. the bank of japan is pushing back against that noise of any race

the cma have given options. 0ne get it. that'll make rupert happy. the cma have given options.grammes. they have the highest watching figures so far. you touched on amazon, netflix. there is so much choice. is this actually just fighting over a shrinking market? will ultimately amazon and netflix, will they merge, do deals, just to stay alive? there is a lot at stake. we should remember, of course, sky has broadband, and many are taking content through that rather than over the air. they have to think about how to deliver that content. i suspect sky is thinking with fox about how to use that more. selling bundles to consumers, packages, as well as connectivity. so interesting, isn't it? we will see what happens next. thank you. more from me after 8pm. thank you very much. cheetahs are known for being the fastest land mammal, but now, new research suggests when it comes to catching prey, speed doesn't always equal success. scientists have discovered a kind of arms race between big cats and the animals they hunt. as one gets faster, the other becomes more agile, as our science co

the demands came after the competition and markets authority, the cma said the takeover was not in thee the murdoch family trust too much influence over public opinion and the political agenda. but sky could end up owned by disney if mr murdoch's proposed sale of fox which owns 39% of sky goes ahead. the simple way to stop this from going ahead is to prohibit it. not to have some cognitive process. this is personal. this is basically lefties who do not like murdoch. i will follow process, taking into consideration the final report, once it is published, i will consider what it says. i will consider all the relevant evidence and information and then make a decision. a conservative called for people using cycle rickshaws, he said because pedicabs weren't regulated there was no requirement for the estimated 11100 drivers to have insurance, or for vehicle condition or driver quality to be assessed. an undercover film—maker with rickshaw drivers boasting about charging tourists £350 each, and others talking about charging to or £300 to go the half—mile from oxford circus to piccadilly circu

in a weird sense, whatever ofcom or the cma say about the uk deal, it is going to be superseded by the following because the toxicity of the murdoch name, the fact his family have such control, will not be an issue if disney is in charge. but the future sky news, which is at the heart of this, is that assured if disney ta kes this, is that assured if disney takes over? because what is there that disney will keep it? the ceo of disney has said that he is committed to sky news. and sky news is obviously a key part of the sky macro subscription. they like the idea of sky news. it is a world —class idea of sky news. it is a world—class product. on the other hand, if you are disney and you are specialists in entertaining, sky news is a loss—making operation, which is stuck in this regulatory mess so it might be a complication disney feel they can do without. i think disney probably do not want as their first move to sack a bunch of journalists who produce world—class journalism. so i think disney will keep control of sky news. but there is this weirdness, we are in a situation where concern

january is when we get a lot of calls across the whole cma network because people have spent at christmasjoyed themselves and really not connected that with the consequences of what happens in the weeks afterwards when all those bills start coming in. i was passing by and ijust asked some advice because christmas has been a little bit difficult because i have got myself into a little bit of debt. our aim today is to try and break the taboo that people have about spending money. we find in all the advice we give face to face with people that once you get it out in the open and start opening the post, that wall just evaporates. out of the 500 £1 coins we've been giving out just how people decided to save and how many chose to spend? 148 would save them but 352 would spend them. it looks like birmingham people like to spend. our experiment today was just a bit of fun but statistics show that we are a nation of spenders. the average household has £14,000 worth of non—mortgage debt. and one in three households in the uk has no savings whatsoever. getting out of debt isn't easy. i should know,

no, not at all, in fact the decision that the cma came to was completely expected and they have actuallyork out a deal to bypass those concerns. what they did announce on tuesday, which investors were very pleased about sending sky shares up 3% that day was the fact that the deal would not be against the public interest in terms of broadcasting standards, which is a huge win for fox. julian aquilina, thank you for talking to us, from enders analysis. here are some other news stories we're covering at the bbc. canada's cannabis cultivators are in a marijuana megamerger, two growers have agreed to merge and create a $6 billion company. aurora cannabis, after a farfrom billion company. aurora cannabis, after a far from mellow takeover battle between the firms, canada plans to legalise recreational marijuana before july. plans to legalise recreational marijuana beforejuly. there is also the story, a huge rise in sales from the story, a huge rise in sales from the online fashion retailer asos, doing well, even though retailers of bricks and mortar stores are struggling at the moment. you're w

i think the cma now at some point will need to review the effectiveness of what they recommended andn the commons, in a sustained attack by labour, the shadow business secretary laid out what she said was the situation for carillion‘s suppliers. micro businesses are owed an average of £98,000, small firms, £1ai,000, medium firms, £236,000, and large businesses are owed on average £15.6 million. since 2010, carillion has paid out over £500 million in dividends to shareholders while in the same period, running up a pensions episode of £587 million, now threatening the security of thousands of hard—working people. while those people suffer, the former ceo was rewarded with a bonus package worth £1.5 million in 2016. will the government join me in condemning this scandal and work with the labour party, or will itjust be business as usual? please allow me to ensure the honourable lady that any payments due to directors and executives of carillion have been stopped. nobody is getting paid. nobody is getting executive bonuses. the secretary of state, on the moment that the insolvency happen

up our sleeves very strongly at the moment, and we have been doing so over the last year, since the cma a price cap for vulnerable customers, which i think is the limit. you have just admitted that you acted earlier. but the consequence of you not acting earlier has been that many customers, particularly vulnerable customers, have paid much more money than they should have done. i accept that and we should have moved earlier. do you apologise to those customers? i do. 0fgem's chief executive. labour told ministers that they're rewarding failure by bailing out train companies that run into trouble. in 2014, virgin and its partner stagecoach signed a deal to run the east coast line until 2023. but in november, ministers allowed the companies to withdraw from running the service three years early. the shadow transport secretary condemned the move. in 2016, the department for transport set out its objectives for railfranchising. these were to encourage a flourishing, competitive passenger rail market which secures high performing, value for money services for passengers and tax payers, whil

fox said they are disappointed by the cma's provisional findings but still anticipate regulatory approvalhe murdochs argue that since their last bid, the media industry has undergone huge disruption. digital giants like netflix and amazon have hugely increased competition in the tv marketplace while newspapers are under pressure as never before. but the curiosity about this story is that the fate of sky could be in the hands of american, rather than british regulators. last year murdoch shocked the industry by declaring he was selling his entertainment business to the us giant disney. that deal is now being scrutinised under competition grounds in the us. maybe rupert murdoch saw this coming. his decision to sell up to disney shows he was willing to part company with businesses that he'd lost millions of pounds on. the issue now is whether or not disney is as committed as the murdochs were, notjust to sky but to sky news, because if they're not, well, their media plurality in britain will be under threat. the early signs are that disney's boss, bob eiger, does see sky news as integral to
