that's the view from the country's oldest independent research institute, the national institute of economic and social research. it's cuts its forecast for1.5% — down from the previous forecast of 1.9%. it's blamed a slowdown in the uk, and overseas. that's a difference of 0.04%. ——that‘s a difference of 0.4%. earlier we spoke to amit kara, national institute of economic and social research. brexit uncertainty has intensified and this is dragging down economic growth in the near term, and unless this uncertainty is resolved, economic growth will remain weak for a prolonged period of time. we are also saying that if, at the end of this process, the uk ends up without a deal, that economic growth will slow down quite sharply but it's unlikely to be a disaster for the simple reason that policy will step in. there are some contingency plans that are already, there have already been announced, monetary policy will step in. and we also expect the chancellor to step in with additional actions, may be tax cuts and may be even more spending. so, in other words, of course it's important to have some kind of deal because that will be the smoothest

hairdressers and cause magicians these figures were calculated by germany's institute for employment research and the economic news fields. believe and were currently experiencing a rapid structural transformation in the working world but i don't share the view that half of all jobs will be lost to saudi it's why i think we should tone down the drama and this of guns and shonda for the outcome will depend decisively on whether we manage to push forward digitalisation not in a technology centered way that is focusing on what is technically possible but managed to control and structure this process placing people in the center and dimension of. that means putting far more resources into qualification and further education because one thing is clear. the half life of technological innovations is growing shorter and so the half life of skills and qualifications is also growing shorter than competence cuts who want to shift in the. digitalisation. human insight. driving platforms transport the containers from ship. petition with other international ports is only when the computer is. really i have to run it manual

well for more let's bring in michael hooter he is the had the german economic institute a research institution promoting a liberal economic and social order he joins me from brussels this morning i walk him through the program michael we just heard that the deal between theresa may and leaders is not open for renegotiation as donald tusk said there do you see any way this deadlock can be broken before march twenty ninth the bracks date. the only way to do it is that the british side has to change its position and maybe we'll get to the idea of staying in the customs union that will be solve a lot of problems on the border discussion we had on the island nelson island on the other hand there may be a little bit of room for maneuver if you redesign a little bit of a backstop but at the sense the backstop should be there because that's like a sanction if they were not able in the transition period to solve the problem of the north on an island. apolo so i see not really a lot of chances to get really new idea and you would deal as the house of commons asked for so i see it's a long way to go the

jayapal: i happened to do a little research into this topic for this hearing, and according to a recent study from the economic policy institute raised the bureau ofrom labor statistics, after adjusting for inflation, the average worker got an increase of only two cents per hour. workers literally got pennies. in $1.9licans passed trillion tax plan, the money did not go to workers, and it did not go to paying down the debt. so where did it go? for one, copies spent $1 trillion on corporate stock buybacks last year alone. to buyes using profits back their own stock rather than paying their workers, investing in research and develop met or making capital investments. i think that's an important backdrop to have as we look at the economy and the effects of the republicans's deficit spending that benefited the wealthiest individuals. you spent some time in your summary talking about believe thatand i you look at current immigration policy and calculated that net immigration flows would grow by an average of 2%, per year, correct? dir. hall: yes. rep. jayapal: when you look at current immigration policy, did you not factor in the p

for the uk economy. a number of factors, slowing european economy, slowing growth in china, brexit and certainty, a number of factors come into play. we talked to a researcher at the national institute of economicar term and unless this uncertainty is resolved economic growth will remain weak for a prolonged period of time. we are also saying that it's come at the end of this process, the uk ends up without a deal that economic growth will slow down quite sharply but it is unlikely to be a disaster for the simple reason that policy will step in. there are contingency plans that are already been announced. monetary policy will step in and we also expect the chancellor to step in with additional actions, mainly tax cuts, and maybe even more spending. in other words, it's important to have some kind of deal because that'll be the of this process but if that isn't a deal, action will mitigate some of the losses. there is another bit of research from the cbi. it is to do with trade agreements, which the uk has with a0 other countries but it has it through the eu. the cbi says many of these trade agreements are not, actually, all of them are not ready to be transferred into a substitute agreement if
