that was dave lee in silicon valley.eye on a vote in washington which could undo reforms put in place after the 2008 financial crisis. the financial choice act will repeal key laws, regulating banks, that were established during the 0bama administration. it would eliminate some regular trip powers. it would also exempt banks from many existing financial rules if they need to boost their capital reserves. earlier, ispoke need to boost their capital reserves. earlier, i spoke to eric yuen. i asked reserves. earlier, i spoke to eric yuen. iasked if reserves. earlier, i spoke to eric yuen. i asked if this could lead to a repeat of 2008? if that were to be the case, i would be concerned but i do not think so. first of all, it's a debatable question whether the original bill stated —— achieved its purpose, which was to do away with the undue accesses of the banks in 2008. as a practical matter, as a matter of political reality, it is highly unlikely that much of the provisions that the wall street banks have been against would

dave lee, bbc news, los angeles. time for a look at the weather. here's nick miller. weather look good. it helps if you have sunshine. we saw in somerset today. in belfast, even though it was overcast for a time, doesn't this look lovely. there is a range of weather across the uk. it depends how close you are to high pressure. england and wales closest, more settled compared with scotland and northern ireland, closer to low pressure. more cloud around here, more breeze and occasional rain as we have seen in scotland today. there have been heavy showers around. outbreaks of rain pushing northwards. the starry skies in england and wales. the lowest temperatures in the countryside, away from town city centres, single figures. blue sky to start the day in england and wales. patchy cloud will develop, maybe an isolated shower in northern england. most places continue with warm sunny spells. sunny breaks to scotland and northern ireland. most will be dry. far north—west of scotland will see outbreaks of rain and breeze. a range of temperatures compared with the best of suns

dave lee has the details. this is apple's new homepod.imarily as a music device rather than a smart assistant like google home and amazon alexa are. they're saying it has spatial awareness so it should fill the room with sound in the way that those competitors don't. and i'm not allowed to touch it and nor can i hear it so i can't actually tell you how good this thing is just yet, but what i can tell you it will be coming out later this year. it will cost $349. first released in the us, in the uk and also australia. other countries coming in the new year, but one of the potential down sides is that you need an apple music subscription in order to get the full integration. so if you prefer to use spotify or pandora, maybe not quite the device for you, but apple are pretty confident that this is going to give them a good part of the market in this new home assistant space. the name has to grow on me. it just does not. it makes a lot of sense, right and it really speaks to where i think apple wants to position this device is a speaker first.
