the labour market is strong and you have that i 2025? g and you have that whole ai attack cycle that is bolstering the economy and are you at the possible policies from donald trump that is very much making... us exceptionalism continue on, tax cuts, fiscal spending or deregulation so i think the use outlook is likely to be quite robust in 2025, particular equities. what is your outlook for asia? a nuanced approach. i would say perhaps you have to look at... i think in china, we are neutral because there is outside and downside risk but i think in india and the aussie and region, the outlook is bright because the us is easily going to grow by 6.5 or even higher in terms of growth, so a very strong middle class domestic consumption. —— asean. exports, particularly digital, are quite resilient and insulated from the whole headwinds associated with trade. ., ., ., trade. you said neutral on china. trade. you said neutral on china- can _ trade. you said neutral on china. can you _ trade. you said neutral on china. can you help - trade. you sa

i think it's multifaceted. but what i've noticed with this particular labour government is they just have the blinders on and they're. they haven't u—turned on anything yet. and i think that almost these what you could describe as left field issues, things that weren't in their manifesto, things they didn't plan on. they always just like, well, get get rid of that. we just want to crack on with what we want to do. and it's like, well, that's just not how politics works. sometimes things you thought had been dealt with obviously not very well, come up like it was literally this time last year. it was the mr beats documentary, and that brought up the whole thing of the post office again, which had been out. we all knew about it, but it pulled it into the into the pubuc it pulled it into the into the public consciousness. and that's what they've got to do. they've got to be seen to be reacting to the british public's needs in that moment. >> they're not there. >> they're not there. >> i think that i think they're still in their early stages because they've waited for 14 years and they're desperate to move on with this.

this labour government, i'm sorry, look, i voted labour, however, they are not engaging with what needsbe done. it is all sound bites from wes streeting. it's giving people an idea that they can can see a professional like ordering an uber. this will dismantle what we know as the traditional village doctor, down doctor. what i would be keen on is for people to see what has happened to private health care shares. we know that wes streeting, yes, i know he has had experience with the nhs i'm glad he has come through his cancer surgery. i have worked for a decade and see the waste and it is not just administration, it is the waste int just administration, it is the waste in t being able to fund the areas we need to fund and improve. we need more people like physios and occupational therapists and people who work in social services to link primary care to the community. however, these guys are being, having their pockets lined by the private organisation. it may not, i might not have the evidence like a panorama documentary, you come back in three orfour years time documentary, you come bac

i agree with all that. laboure they want to educate people rather than legislate. and yet i'm not allowed to marry my brother should i want to. so that's that's legislated against. and the reason they've dropped it is because they will lose too much support. i think that's right. >> and remember, one of those four independent muslim mps stood up and spoke in favour of cousins marrying each other. >> yeah, no. >> yeah, no. >> influencing policy. that's when it's dangerous. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> and labour are very worried about losing this muslim vote. it used to be assumed it was 70, 75% nigel. it was sharply down last election. and i was talking to some mps yesterday. they said it's going to be even worse next time. even though there's a ceasefire in gaza of a sort, they think it could be even worse for labour. >> yeah. i mean, there quite clearly gaza has had a huge effect on the on the labour vote had during the election and will have a continuing effect. obviously now we've got a ceasefire there if that is perm

well, i, i, the risk of labouring this point. i want to make sure our viewers understand this. steve would cost real estate mobile, right? not a diplomat, not a kind of we are, is real estate wheeler, dealer in new york and particularly in new york, but also bought something. so perhaps a bit of a deal maker in the, in the trump fan i'm, i don't know, but real estate being real estate guy, friend of donald trump, goes to don't for a missed capacity, as donald trump's mid east. and boy, for the 1st time in this capacity, early january goes to don't, then goes to israel meets, is really 5 minutes to benjamin that. yeah. and then goes back to dog big tories on houses here this morning. the spokes person for the prime minister and for i ministry said he was involved. he was physically present in the negotiations again, someone who was not a career, but he didn't come up with a magic new deal. it's the same deal. they were arguing over tiny little details. what he did was forced these riley's to deal with this property because donald trump set that deadline. and a steve said earlier

i said myself at the 2024 wide of the year for the 2024 wide of the year for the labour market were stabilitysents a pivot and add some uncertainty to what the fed will do next. when there is a lot of data out there, it can tell a different story, particularly when an economy is at an inflection point. i think what you will see that uncertainty play out and the fed's decision—making process this year. and the fed's decision-making process this year.— and the fed's decision-making process this year. thank you so much. let's turn to the uk now — because the government has been defending its handling of the economy amid growing unease on financial markets. that's seen the pound drop to its lowest level in more than a year — and government borrowing costs surge to a 16—year high. uk assets have been among the hardest hit amid worries the new trump administration will mean higher inflation and less global trade. chancellor of the exchequer rachel reeves is on her way to china for talks. she hopes to build closer business ties with beijing as part of the government's quest for economic growth. but

i think the picture you described from the labour market is consistent with what we are seeing in theh figures. it will be interesting to see how the chancellor thinks she can revive growth. >> do you think they can actually provide us with the 2.5% gdp growth they actually suggested going into this government? what would it take to actually see the uk economy growing by that much? >> well, first of all, i think we would need to increase labor force cipation again. secondly, it would need an upturn in private sector investment and finally, it would need an improvement in so-called residual growth. the technical progress that isn't explained by capital investment. the trouble is the resistance on the individual growth. lots of people talk about simple explanations, but over the last 100 years, lots of policies have been tried and it's difficult to say they've worked. >> but there's one clear policy that they seem to be pursuing at the moment. we saw rachel reeves going to china. she also went to brussels. it seems that it's to the outside world they are looking at trying to have greate

last night, i asked the president of the labour party to begin that process. this country deserves a real choice in the next election and it has become clear to me that if i am having to fight internal battles, i cannot be the best option in that election. [speaking french] i have always been a fighter. i have always been a fighter because i really care for giving canada and canadians and always being driven of what is in the best interests of canadians as well. despite our best efforts to get through the parliamentary impasse, parliament has been paralyzed for months after the longest minority parliament in the history of our country, this is why this morning i met with the governor general to tell her that we need a new parliamentary session and she granted that request and the house will there be furloughed until the 24 of march. during christmas, i had time to think and have long conversations with my family about our future. throughout my career, all success i have had personally has been due to their support and encouragement. so yes, at dinner, i shared

elon musk has been making a series of increasingly inflammatory and i think what most people find very offensive remarks about labouriticians, the prime minister and the home office minister, jess phillips. i query that most people find it offensive, most people in certain sectors of society but not most people. well, that's an interesting point so you think that most people find it offensive to be accused of being complicit in rape. yes, i do think many people would find that offensive but i think a lot of people are so angry that they don't feel this particular thing is offensive. if it was directed at them, however, if it is directed at a government minister they think, well, hey. if you short cut to the angle part... it's not the same as an informed debate because a lot of the nuance has been lost. i think what many people are concerned about, including nigel farage himself, is a tax on the politicians. and our newscasters are very upset about attacks on migrant hostels, you can't firebomb migrant hostels. certainly you can't. so what we need is informed debate and we are not convinced we're getting that out of

and i think the anger isn't directed at the labour or conservative parties. because they think we've got the courage to do what's necessary to turn this around. but what do you plan to do with that? i mean, what's your dream scenario for 2025, 2025? it's to build the structure of the party, you know, and since really august of last year, we've tried with nothing to build branch structure, to put in place a very rigorous and i mean extremely rigorous vetting procedure for candidates at all levels, because that was the big failing, you know, of what we had at the last election. huge failing, no question about that. 2025 was about getting that machine actually working to start to win some victories. our ultimate goal, and i'm notjoking, is to win the next general election. you say you've done it with nothing. you have had a very useful thing, the support and the oxygen of the support from someone who's on his way back to the white house and elon musk, the richest man in the world, who just happens to also own one of the biggest social media platforms in the worl

i think the fed is watching the trumpl the fed is watching the trump administration. the expectation now is one to two cuts. if we have a very tight labourr if we have an inflationary tariff policy, i think the fed will continue to pause. i think it's very unlikely the fed will begin hiking but the fed needs to see conclusive data in respect to the labour market and information before it will feel confident in cutting by more than 25 basis points over the course of the year. us president—elect donald trump is likely to follow through on his promise to impose blanket tariffs says one of his former economic advisers. he served as deputy director of the national economic council and the beauteous influence national economic affairs during the first jump administration. he told my colleague michelle fleury that drum could move very fast once he is in office. — trump administration. so, in the first term, was part of these debates, we had a lot of deliberations about tariffs in whether they should be used, how they should be used, what statues should be used and today, we are in a position where it seems to be determined, they are going to be

"don't have eye contact." so i remember as this woman was beating me, i did not look at her eyes. i looked at her forehead. i didn't make a sound. beca

i think the starting point is strong. the labourd you have that whole ai attack cycle that is bolstering the economy and are you at the possible policies from donald trump that is very much making... us exceptionalism continue on, tax cuts, fiscal spending or deregulation so i think the outlook is likely to be quite robust in 2025. what is your outlook for asia? a nuanced approach. i would say perhaps you have to look at... i think in china, we are neutral on china because there is outside and downside risk but i think in india and the asean region, the outlook is bright because india is easily going to grow by 6.5 or even higher in terms of growth, so a very strong middle class domestic consumption. exports, particularly digital, are quite resilient and insulated from the whole headwinds associated with trade. turning to india and the ongoing debate on hib visas — a programme that allows us businesses to tap on global talent. with donald trump set to take over as president, india has been anxiously monitoring us policy on immigrati

recruitment giant manpowergroup, says they are seeing warning signals about the state of the labour market in the uk. ierspective, they remain stubbornly high. we know that wages take a long time to work through the cycle and will often lag what we see happening in the market. our data at manpowergroup will tell us that in the fourth quarter, wages onjob postings dropped by 9%. so i do think that we will see wage pressure go down. but broadly speaking, i think these numbers still underline the fact that we are in a hiring recession. we see that demand is very soft for workers right now. if we look year over year, it's down 30%. we usually see a nice rise at the end of the year as we have holiday hiring taking place. we didn't see it this year. the second thing to note is that workers are nervous. the main programme of events at the world economic forum in davos gets under way today with politicians and business leaders gathering from around the world to press the flesh. it is a place where celebrities can often be found and this year david beckham is attending for the first time. last night, he receive

i will ensure she gets the meeting she wants with the relevant minister. >> the leader of the opposition. >> mr. speaker, on friday, while borrowing costs to levels not seen since labour was less than government, i met business owners and employees. one of them told me his business will not exist in four years time because of this government's. it might not even exist next year. the prime minister may try to blame the inherent on global factors but why should anyone trust a word he says over the businesses who are saying again and again that his budget means fewer jobs, lower growth, and higher borrowing costs? >> mr. speaker, the global economy is experiencing volatility in higher borrowing costs. that is what it was vital we took the tough and right decisions in the budget to get our finances back in order. we had to deal with the 22 billion pounds blackhole that they left, made difficult cuts, raise taxes to invest in health, public services, and housing. vital to growth. we have an ironclad commitment to our fiscal rules and she will welcome the inflation figures from this morning. contrast with the party opposite, they were not brave enough in government to take

certain they will be able to have that vote, if they do i don't think they would win it but they would seek to generate political energy saying the laboure voting against this and the conservatives are voting for it. this is a classic parliamentary tactic, but moving forward beyond that, i think the question will be about how implement the recommendations of that report which came out in 2022. they are saying, hang on a second, why are we getting all the heat when the conservative government that was in place in 2022, when this inquiry reported and then in place for nearly two years after didn't implement the recommendations? and i am sure we will hear more of that from the labour party, from the labour government but nevertheless they are in government, the onus is on them, yesterday, they announced various measures they would be bringing forward first and a lot of people will be watching to see how commemorations are due to be held in france, marking ten years since the islamist gun attack at the offices of the satirical magazine, charlie hebdo. 12 people were killed, including several of its best—known cartoonists. the magazine has r

you've seen how quickly he can get the cold shoulder, so it might be smart for labour. iw if this is the reason, but it might be smart for them to wait and see what trump does, which is now what is going to happen. >> yeah, they i mean, starmer says, or someone speaking for the government says america won't be given a veto. but then later in the article, they say they won't do it unless everyone agrees. so i think everyone gets agrees. so i think everyone gets a veto. but you've misunderstood what a veto is. look on this. i'm annoyed that it wasn't even run through our parliament anyway, after all of the noises being made about. our parliament is sovereign. there shouldn't be a government thing, but it also shouldn't be the government of another country making a decision on this. the fact that we didn't even get the representatives in our representatives in our representative democracy having a chat about this in parliament, that's the thing. that's ridiculous. so i think it's good, by the way, it was the tories who were initially putting this deal through and doing it, l

but i think that they could do a better job of realizing that a college educated party leadership doesn't mean that the party itself shouldn't broadly pro labourich i have found kind of surprising, again watching the democrats from a different vantage point of how much it used to be about unions and labor and -- as the other speaker said in the segment about people who produce things. we have moved towards a knowledge society, but not everybody is there, and a lot of people feel left behind. >> i want your reaction to that. to piggyback on what tom said, this critique of democrats not understanding or not being as fluent in the language of the boardroom, more fluent in the language. boardroom than the barbershop is not new. this is not a new conversation. we have heard this and it has led to somewhat of slips with respect to latino voters, with respect to black male voters, marginally, and also with overall working-class americans. so you know better than anyone else, where within the democratic apparatus is the breakdown occurring such that this connection isn't being made? >> you know something? i won 11 straight elections. i lost the first

how that is going to invite inflation and growth, how that will impact the labour market, so there is a lot of uncertainty. i market reaction is a brief rally but not indicative of something long term. what's been going — something long term. what's been going on _ something long term. what's been going on in _ something long term. what's been going on in the - something long term. what's been going on in the market| been going on in the market lately, with these high yields? is the news today moved that at all? ~ ., ., is the news today moved that at all? ~ . . , is the news today moved that at all? ~ ., ., , .,, is the news today moved that at all? ~ . . , .,, ., all? we have a big drop down in the treasury — all? we have a big drop down in the treasury yields _ all? we have a big drop down in the treasury yields this - the treasury yields this morning on the back of inflation data. on the back of the strong something in the banking sector. i still think about the ten year treasury yield, those long—term rates. it's been controlled by many different market forces and if we think about the structural pieces

there was a white woman in the bed opposite, and i heard the midwife say, "well, you're not in active labour" and the only difference between me and her was the colour of my skin. but i was in so much pain i couldn't move. a review of amarjit�*s care by leeds found her pain wasn't managed according to guidelines, and identified care issues which may have made a difference to the outcome for mum and baby. we've spoken to almost 20 families who received maternity care at leeds between 2019 and 202a. they say inadequate care has led to avoidable harm. i was — what? — 2a years old, having to birth a dead child. and it comes down to the care that people are receiving is way, way below standard. i saw her beautiful little face | and i held her hand and ijust wanted to warm her up because that's what any mother wants to do. - we've all been made to feel like it's a one—off. you're the first person who i've met who has been into hospital multiple times previous, to then lose the child, who hasn't been listened to — because that's what happened to me. data we obtained from the trust through a freedom

did in there other fields, they feel it will hurt their future, and i think it will.in >> laura: fichter, were members of the labourunning over here in the 2024 election warning the world about trump? i thinthk so. they are pretty unhappy with trump over in the u.k. but apparently elon musk has any other conservative oran traditional coming down hard on and even harassing and arresting in some cases if they say the wrong thing on the internet. i think the question is, why ark they are allies again if that in what they will do to people? >> i don't know.i. they did the same thing 2004 did which john kerry and they try to stop trump with english media people and politicos came. they tried to interfere with in ey ithe affairs of ukraine and d to stop benjamin netanyahuhe election. they always like to interfere in people's government.g they are projecting that onto elon musk mount think he's interfering at all that just commenting. but too an them, that is what ty are doing and projecting vulnerabilities onto him. : victor this is breaking right now bloomberg ist saying chinese officialsok are evaluating for sale at ti

short—term but certainly the care sector is saying it is nowhere near enough and i think there be some disappointment that the labourto murder the national health service which is under huge pressure as a result of the pressures on the care sector, inextricably linked and labour came in with a slogan of creating a national care is a best without having a plan for that and now it will take another three years to get to what a national care service looks like so frustration in the care sector and for families and people basing their relatives are themselves facing care. huge financial pressures to grapple with in the short term.— around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news. police are investigating after the father of sara sharif was reportedly assaulted in prison weeks after being jailed for the ten—year—old's murder. according to the sun newspaper urfan sharif is said to have been attacked at belmarsh prison on new year's day by two other inmates in a cell. he's said to have suffered cuts to his neck and face, and it is understood he received medical treatment inside the prison. a prison service spokesperso

the new labour pm, sir keir starmer, is looking for a "reset". earlier, i the trade economist i think it simple. there is no sign of immediate sign of an economic dividend. if you at dividend. if you look at the we have seen over dredictions we have seen over years of lower productivity exports 7 exports imports j exports imports gdp; jexports imports gdp; we all of are in a situation where all of those indicators lower those in’difattjrsare lower and are those in’dioetorsere lower end are very those in’disetorsere lower end are very sluggish. we are they are very sluggish. we are not seeing the economic dividend. dr rebecca harding, s-ueakin dividend. dr rebecca harding, speaking to — dividend. dr rebecca harding, speaking to me _ do you agree with the no benefits as far as doctor, no benefits as far as the uk is concerned with from economists that consensus from economists that the leaving the eu has been t—— 7 for tle economf for the uk economy. there a difference of o-inion on is e differense of qeiftiqfl on �* much the is s diffsrenss of soinisn on �* m

the labour mp earlier called the ecb's position "spineless, slippery and morally wrong". igave to me was the one that we want out to the media. i felt it was non—committal, it didn't show any kind of backbone. i do stand by what i said earlier. i also understand the context in which he's dealing with it. i still think they should be seriously considering a boycott. i made my views clear to him and then he — they made their views very clear about what the consequences of doing such a thing would be. this competition hasn't been around for the last eight years. it happens to be a very big deal for people in pakistan, the pakistani government. i understand the geopolitics of it. there's a wider and bigger issue around women and girls in sport and in afghanistan. if our women cricket players from afghanistan are now living in exile, and most of the men's team are, surely there's something wrong there. staying with cricket, sir clive lloyd, the former west indies captain, says he's very disturbed by reports of a new two—tier system for international test matches. it's been sugge

labour. bad outcomes for all children, excellent for none. mr. speaker inow what it is like to go to a school that did not care about standards. it is a tragedy in the making. the children in this bill were not in their election manifesto, isn't that because she knew parents and teachers would reject them. p.m. starmer: parents and children know we are for standards. we are committed to them. they are part of the future. we will continue to focus on standards. she talks about settle, she's got to know they have asked me questions, these prime minister's questions about the appalling situation of special needs under their watch. we are going to fix that mess like we are fixing every other one! >> thank you, mr. speaker. parents should feel confident that when their child is sick, they should take them to the local hospital to treat them as soon as possible. last year when my son was having difficulty breathing, like many parents, i cannot take them to the alexandria hospital, as pediatrics had temporarily closed and never been reinstated. with the prime min
