thank you very much, hugh schofield life in paris. stay with us on outside source.avirus will harm businesses. emma simpson reports. they're all ready for the christmas season at this small wine bar and restaurant, but on monday, the phones started ringing. we've lost, in the last 2a hours, about £8500 worth of business. we've had a group booking for today cancelled, a group booking for an event out of house at their offices cancelled tonight, and a further three groups later in the week. on paper, nothing's changed for hospitality today. it should be business as usual. but there's a bit of a chill wind starting to blow through this sector, with some customers getting cold feet. but there are also plenty who have no intention of cancelling any big christmas nights out. we are going to one a week on saturday, and we're not pulling out. absolutely not. you need to do it sensibly, but as long as you do it sensibly, it's nice to have fun again. paul runs three pubs in yorkshire and is worried. he has had lots of cancellations too at what should be the busiest time of ye

our paris correspondent hugh schofield explained the mood of the talks as they get under way today.is, shall we say, slightly more cooperative and i think there's that hope that we may have turned a corner. i understand that some extra licences have been given, though the numbers are all very unclear and it is possible — certainly everyone's hoping — that at the end of this meeting today there'll be some kind of arrangement so that more licences are given, maybe not all the ones that the french are asking for, and this whole threat of trade war will recede somewhat, but it's far from clear that it will. let's get more now on the case of the conservative mp owen paterson, and the questions it's triggered over parliamentary standards of mps. we can speak now to the conservative mp peter bone. he voted in favour of yesterday's plan to change the rules for mp5. but plan to change the rules for mp5. before you get ir to but before you get into that i want to talk to you about what has happened your constituency office because i believe that it has been vandalised. talk us through. weill.

here's our paris correspondent hugh schofield on what we heard.the french think, are beginning to give way on that to make it possible that replacement boats count as original boats. if that happens, then that is movement, but i would say there's a long way between the two sides and the overall mood between them, in the context of a very poor state of relations between the two countries, is not promising. let's look at how things got to where they are. in short, it's a row about how many french fishing boats can catch fish in uk waters, but its also about brexit. here's our europe correspondent jessica parker to explain. what happened is, post—brexit, after the uk leaving the european union, there was a new agreement around fishing rights, and subsequent to that, france feels that not enough of its fishermen are being granted licenses to fish on the coastal waters off the united kingdom and the channel islands, particularlyjersey. it thinks the agreement is not being applied properly and fairly. the uk, jersey, they don't agree. those governments
