" other than "we are going to hell in a handbasket?‘ there is a point as well. the actual content is this is the governor of the bank of england saying if there is a hard brexit... this is the same man saying there's going to be debt to the first one, a plague of locusts and for all the problems that come after the referendum... that's the point, henry, i wanted you to pick up on. there are those who would say, the comedy other warnings. they have not happened. they had not happened for several reasons, not least the fact that we have not left. he took very swift action reducing interest rates shortly after the referendum... that's not what they said at the time. this is a movable feast. if you look at some of the details of this piece, if we have a disorderly brexit, the that immigration may increase for the first time since 1994 and if a lot of

mr carney added that an announcement on his future would be made soon.f they are at an increased risk of suffering a heart attack or stroke. almost two million people have already taken the test, and public health england says as many as four out of five of them have hearts which are more damaged than they should be for their age, as our health correspondent sophie hutchinson reports. heart attacks and strokes kill around 8a,000 people every year in england but the vast majority are preventable, according to public health england. that is why officials want everyone over 30 to complete the online test to assess their heart's health by calculating its age. we know too many people are dying prematurely from heart attacks and strokes. in fact, it is the leading cause of death in men and second—leading cause of death in women. so people taking the online heart age test will allow them to understand what the risk is and, more important, take action on addressing that risk. the test asks 16 questions about health and lifestyle. it also estimates the risk of ha

it's thought mr carney is open to staying on for as long as another 12 months, until 2020 if needed.ional leadership at the cass business school. you know, we're in a position, if you look at any organisation where the person in charge leaves after five years, there's going to be issues about instability, be that in the organisation or outside. if you then add onto that that this is the central bank, and the bank governor, and then you add onto that the fact that this is in an brexit period which is one of the most critical periods for our economy and country in the last 50 years, this is a critical moment to have stability. let's return to those figures about the health of the manufacturing sector, the pm eye, fell to its lowest level since just after the brexit vote in july 20 lowest level since just after the brexit vote injuly 2016. we were expecting something around 52.8. the reason for the slowdown is that demand uk export orders has fallen back to slower economic growth and the approach brexit. the figures show that many manufacturers in britain had the weakest month in over t

the chancellor, philip hammond, told mps that mr carney said he would "serve a little longer", to ensureld be quite a turbulent period" for the economy next summer. our economics editor, kamal ahmed, is here. how useful is this going to prove to be for the chancellor? if you imagine the chancellor's in tray, he has some troublesome problems. he has some troublesome problems. he has brexit and the possible effects on the economy now and what will our relationship look like in the future with the european union? where does he find all that money for the nhs that has been pledged? that will come up in the budget later this year. third big problem, finding a new boss for the bank of england. the institution that is most important in our financial relationship with the european union, or banking relationship with the european union. well, today, frankly, he talked about continuity, but that is pretty much code for, thatis but that is pretty much code for, that is something else i don't have to worry about. you can put that to one side out of those three big issues now. the governor says he wa

mr. carney is going to extend as boe governor until the end of january 2020. is was foretold in the testimony. now we know officially that mr. mark carney will remain into 2020. troy: that is important from stability. the last thing you want in negotiations is instability at the boe. alix: it is pretty much doing nothing. troy: there was strengthening yesterday. alix: how do you play the divergence bank story? troy: you want to focus on primarily u.s. assets. the dollar which had a great setup, markets are more in your favor. in the short-term, position yourself to benefit from higher rates. we still like financials and consumer assets where economic strength in the u.s. will drive returns and the downside risk is low. skybridge gayeski of is staying with us. mark carney will stay to the end of january 2020 and see them to a turbulent period. will it be over in two years? i don't know. now he says he's going to stay longer. alix: bracing for florence. for u.s. states declare emergencies. it can be the strongest storm to hit the carolinas in years and we look at

mr. carney has with the backdrop of his gloomy scenarios that we heard presented to the cabinet about brexitust cpi up 0.7%. 2.7% year on year. these are big figures. make no bones about it hel pen pence -- hence why the pound is 1.32 you will recall that wage inflation in uk is 2.9%. so a bit more of a squeeze on wages compared with inflation. this is the highest annual rate since february you take out food and energy, because they apparently don't count, the core figure is 2.1% above expectations and hope for 2% the expectation this time around was 1.8. rpi figure up. some are saying that's a rather useful measure big inflation data out of the uk, which will bring forward the conversation about rate hikes at a time when we are getting to the crunch period over brexit. you want to know about house prices you feeling poorer because of inflation? london july housing prices down 0.7 0.7% year-on-year. these are damning figures if you're a london property owner who likes to eat and use fuel. this is the biggest fall since september of 2009 with a surprise set of inflation figures on the upside.

mr. carney sneaking into the back of downing street yesterday.nk of england would not confirm or deny if he was there, 10 downing street eventually did. it's not clear that those warnings that he gave whether they are misconstrued or misunderstood by members of the cabinet. in your view how worried should the british cabinet be about the possibility of a no deal >> i suspect he was talking about just not a no dell thal t wasn't planned, i imagine he was talking about a no deal planned and not planned so if you have something that's a surprise, you come to the 29th of march, all of a sudden we're out, we were not intending to be out and we have no deal that's a much bigger problem than going into this saying we want no deal you can transition for that. if you have no deal, no transition, you could be in a serious mess that's what i think he was talking about. that housing prices could fall sharply, recession, unemployment rise significantly i imagine all of that is certainly a possibility if we get into a no-deal situation without planning for it.

comes the chancellor and says, by the way, things will look so difficult i will have to hang on to mr carneyas increased by 9,000 in three months between april to june. health officials say it‘s a result of rising demand for care and higher rates of staff leaving the service. our health editor hugh pym explained what the figures indicated. it is another indication on the pressure on the nhs. the figures doubled going into a&e injune, 6.2 million. more patients coming in and hospitals and other trusts are trying to increase staff numbers to cope with the higher demand. as we have heard, 9000 more vacancies, 107,000 now for all staff, nurses and doctors. that is up on the previous three months compared with the same time last year. and the regulator improvement is saying one of the reasons for this is people leaving does raise the question about whether these pressures are proving too much for some staff, who wa nt to proving too much for some staff, who want to get out. but there will a lwa ys want to get out. but there will always be some vacancies, but this increase is quite disturbing. alw

what about mr carney — what‘s he been saying this week?h hasn‘t happened so as a result mike ashley has been making something of a splash. the other big story was john lewis, where their sales or their profits fell 99%. profits, let‘s get this right. i‘m sure simon derrick who‘s going to join us now can get these figures right. i know it‘s not listed but it is still indicative of what‘s going on on the high street, isn‘t it? indicative of what‘s going on on the high street, isn't it? yes, what happened with john lewis was a reflection of the discounting taking place. this was the year the house of fraser was under pressure, ultimately went into administration and the discounts there reflected out into the market more generally so givenjohn out into the market more generally so given john lewis out into the market more generally so givenjohn lewis has never knowingly undersold, they have the downward pressure on prices. things weren't doing that badly, certainly on the waitrose side, things were going well so you have got to see that as a o

mr carney said in august that we should expect about a quarter of 1% every year, and he has had thatds. first, you identified huge competition in the high street. john lewis has this never knowingly undersold label and has had to cut prices to remain competitive. the other issue is that it imports a lot of goods, and with the relative weakness of the pound, buying from overseas has become more expensive and a big squeeze on margins. morrison's says that brexit will not be a problem. it really has rather pooh—poohed the idea that we will have a blockage on the ports if there is no deal, and it says it will do fine. it has done two things really rather well. first, will do fine. it has done two things really ratherwell. first, it will do fine. it has done two things really rather well. first, it has positioned itself to have a relatively straightforward negotiations with customs authorities. it is a friend of europe. second, it produces a lot of the goods itself domestic league, so it's fresh produce, which has been a big success, is largely home—grown. —— domestically. it has its own

mr. carney has a devilishly difficult job. it's not just uncertainty with brexit. they mention trade and emerging markets. they are not sure where those are going either. >> the irony of the brexit debate is the u.k. as a market is most exposed to global trade, and open economy dependent on trade, and the stock market is extremely dependent on global trade and emerging markets. investors think of the u.k. as an honorary emerging-market because it moves closer with em than other developed countries. the trade story is starting to affect the global momentum. we are seeing it in people's forecasts now. it is more important for the u.k. than other european countries. and: let's move to turkey the decision to hike repo rates to 24%. is reaction in the markets clear, very positive, the lira jumping, other currencies moving as well. is this going to be enough when you look at argentina and they are at 600 basis points? >> this is much more interesting , and certainly more surprising, then the boe move. it is fascinating. this is an independent central-bank action. we will

mr. carney has to deal with brexit issues as we move to 2019 my big question is i think divergence is a bigk the fact the two central banks and bank of japan are behind on normalization compared to the u.s. that it will underscore more divergence of our economies >> i think it will i think the fed is getting near a tipping point. at this point the fed is removing excess accommodation, not tightening going into 2019, there will be 2.5% i would expect. and that would be a significant divergence this starts problem with asset classes when you look at fx and fx hedging nondollar investors to invest in the u.s., the fx hedging cost could take 3% from potential returns, that's pretty significant. i think the fed needs to be careful, probably think about using the balance sheet for accommodation as opposed to hiking rates forever >> jim, i'm in complete agreement with you some of the older fed people that i talk to, whether mr. olson, mark olson or bob heller, they believe the same thing. they believe the balance sheet needs to be tinkered with when we reach a certain level of rates. certainly see
