the other story i am watching right now is what is happening down at 10 downing street, just down theseeing a press conference. boris johnson is briefing at 10 downing street, talking about the fact that he is unwilling at this point to take some of the measures we saw last winter off the table. boris johnson talking about this idea that maybe we will need to see covid passports being introduced. he's not ruling out lockdowns. these are the kind of things i think the market maybe hasn't fully factored in yet. we came out of last summer with 4000 cases on a daily basis. we are now running at circa 30. we are going to be vaccinated in younger cohorts, but nevertheless, it does seem as though it could be may a trickier winter than boris johnson would've hoped for. he's talking about the fact that it is vital to prevent the virus from being reimported. that doesn't sound like good news for the travel sector. alix: let's paint a picture of what guy is talking about. i feel like he's this really depressing grinch now for the winter time you're going to be at home, cold, no heat, 17 sweaters

for downing street, diplomatic spat aside and whether or not borisjohnson will have browse the frenchhim a break, for downing street, it's important evidence that, whilejoe biden and borisjohnson might be very different politicians, they can get business done together, particularly on security and also on climate change. at the beginning of this trip, borisjohnson came here giving himself only six out of ten chance that he'd be able to get the money together to help tackle climate change in time for the next important international syndicate, cop26 in glasgow at the end of next month, butjoe biden yesterday put his hand in america's wallet and promised billions extra, and for downing street that is a big moment. despite the heavy pause on a trade deal now very obvious, they go home tonight thinking that this week has been a diplomatic success. thank ou. let's stay on that trade theme. nowhere has a trade deal between britain and america been more keenly awaited than in liverpool, the traditional gateway for transatlantic trade. but the port is already wrestling with challenges posed b

two of which came from number ten, downing street.use of this i asked a couple of other people who were in the room who were not either borisjohnson orjoe biden, or the people sending out the official readout, so this is apparently what i've been able to piece together. when the reporters, when we were in the room, joe biden talked about the protocol, but he talked about protocol plural and it wasn't really clear if he was talking about the good friday agreement or the tensions with the european union. what apparently happened when the reporters left the room and the talks carried on is an official said, president biden, do you want to have another big conversation about this? do we want to have this in the meeting? and he said, no, we've mentioned that when the press were here, and that was basically it. so it was not, well, as an official person said, it was not something that was not mentioned at all, but it was not substantively discussed, which is why there are these varying accounts of it out there. 0k. and another thing that wa

downing street believe that this was a really good, if kind of frantic trip for them, for a couple ofns. i think the biggest reason is that they got president biden to put his hand in his pocket, to double his promise of wonga for the $100 billion target for the cop26 climate conference in glasgow. that sounds very complicated, but a massive priority at the moment is for the uk government to be getting countries around the world to say, we will give more cash to developing countries in time for that big conference in november. president biden came to the wicket this week and, when we were on the plane on the way over, downing street was not expecting that to happen, so that was a big win for them and they hope it will unlock actions for lots of other countries. other things they are pleased about, lifting of the travel ban from next month, from november, so brits, like people from other european countries, but double—jabbed brits will be able to go backwards and forwards, and they were also pleased with the discussions around security and the new pact with australia and all those kind
