while the latest news ona dynamic. news on a vaccine looks encouraging, we could still face recurring cycles of accelerating viral spread and tightening restrictions until widespread immunity is achieved. above all, we must ensure that this exceptional downturn remains just that exceptional and does not turn into a more conventional recession that feeds on itself. even if this second wave of the virus proved to be less intense than the first, it poses no less danger to the economy. george buckley is chief uk and euro area economist at nomura. george, good to see you. are you as pessimistic? well, i think economists are currently scrambling to think about their forecasts for economic growth and how things, out of this drug will change things. most economists had been expecting some gradual dissipation of the virus over the course of 2021, 2022, but this does change the narrative. it suggests we could see a pivot point, if you will, in gp, in the economy, and we could see the economy recover more quickly if these wires w

doctor, we have never done anything ona doctor, we have never done anything on a scale like this in termsare better prepared for this than we are better prepared for this than we we re we are better prepared for this than we were for the testing? no. no, that's not what i'm hearing. i think it's a huge challenge. i completely agree with the points that doctor blackstock made, that it's really not the end. a vaccine is not the end—all for many, many reasons, and it's notjust based on the efficacy of the vaccine, but as you say, the uptake, remember, this vaccine hasn't been licensed in children yet, and children form a large perp elation of the community that transmits. so we don't necessarily see outbreaks coming to an end anytime soon, and it's deftly pa rt of an end anytime soon, and it's deftly part of public health response, not the entire strategy. 0k, we have to leave it there. doctors, really interesting to get your thoughts, your respective thoughts on the pandemic on either side of the atlantic. thank you for that. back in the basement i see, katty for quarantine for two weeks ha

i just want to pick up ona internally.pick up on a point you made that this is nothing new for the region. this is an insurgency that has been going on for a number of years now. what you think the government needs to do to and sell that now? what do you think the government needs to do to try and solve it now? i think a lot depends in terms of the research that has been conducted on the crisis. i live and work with the institute for security studies the incident and there are a number of other organisations in nigeria, in africa, across the global community that have done a lot of good research, the results of the research, the results of the research and analysis, sharing things across the spectrum of stakeholders, then it is really the government and those in authority that need to demonstrate the will to implement what has already been produced and not just implement what has already been produced and notjust implementation but implementing with a sense of urgency, so we have all these very good research that has been

like any negotiation, obviously, we wouldn't be the only ones making a move and a concession ona makinged the other side to make it all steps towards a deal. at the end of the day, in an negotiation, if there is a point where our interests and the interests of the uk can be found, can meet each other, we will get you a deal. in any event, stephen, it will be because of spain. we will put all of our energy to get to yes. interesting. so you are kind of implying, i'm thinking of countries like france, playing hardball with the uk than spain is. i want to ask you why my question on brexit and again it relates tojoe biden. there is a feeling in some quarters of europe that the biden presidency, it is the fa ct the biden presidency, it is the fact that he is the president strengthens europe's hand in these last ditch trade negotiations because biden has made it plain that he doesn't wa nt to made it plain that he doesn't want to see the british under way at the so—called good friday peace agreement in northern ireland. and there is a concern that with the legislation in the uk parliament bei

so i think it would be quite normal for a lot of people in that part of the country to say "hang onaess than the first wave — surely we could have hoped for tieri restrictions?" well, they are not — they are in tier 2. and i think that does cause many people to say, "hang on a minute. thisjust isn'tjust." i think the only counter to that is to say the reason that they are at that fairly low level of cases is all the restrictions that people put up with in the weeks before the english national lockdown came in. stefanie bolzen, it, i suppose, raises the question of whether the original measures that applied in england actually were very effective, if we are now finding a situation where england comes out of lockdown and most of the population goes into a much more serious restriction than they experienced before. yes, of course, and this is also what you can see on a political or parliamentary level. a lot of anger among mps — there is talk of 70 mps who are now plotting together to reject this new tier system next week and a vote in the house of commons. that, of course, is a massive

i suppose, ona six to eight weeks' time. other businesses have had to take steps to make sure that premises are coronavirus secure. the distancing of tables, face masks for staff, perspex screens. some people say making businesses stop trading after they have made that investment is not fair. but this means that businesses are absolutely ready when restrictions are relaxed that they can open up again and set to go in a coronavirus safe way. the hospitality has been penalised for the coronavirus numbers. i personally believe that we, as an operator, have a very safe environment. i delivered a video to all of our customers, live on facebook which had over 38,000 views to show people how safe it was who came to eat and dine at this establishment. the two metre distance in between all tables, all my staff were in ppe. we followed the guidelines and rules to the dot and unfortunately, we are getting penalised. i am and unfortunately, we are getting penalised. iam really, really struggling to think are we going to have a business

the world of defence worry that in increasingly rich china, for example, and it shoots expenditure onaoots expenditure on a lot of new technologies, a lot of investment in space means that that whole great new realm, potentially, of warfare could see china having supremacy. and in a world where we depend so much on things like satellite technology, not being in command or not at least able to defend our interests in space could be very dangerous, so this very big investment at a time when the government does not have very much money to spend at all, if any, £4 billion extra a year for defence means that we can invest in the sort of cyber and space and other sort of new technologies that will mean britain and the west generally is able to fight for its interests in a world that might not be so friendly in a decade or two time. a real investment, putting money down now to secure oui’ time. a real investment, putting money down now to secure our future interests. the times, rachel, also focusing on this £16 million spending spree cub but it also touches on that it is at the expense of for

keeping vaccine is cold or even deep frozen ona vaccine is cold or even deep frozen on a colossal scalerkers will also have to locate vulnerable elderly people in very remote areas because, as the world health organization has repeatedly said, doing this protects all of us. no one is safe until everyone is safe. we know that demand for a successful vaccine will far outstrip supply in the initial months, so three of the big global health and vaccine organisations have come up with a new system. it aims to ensure everyone, anywhere in the world who needs the vaccine most gets access to it first. it wants to procure 2 billion doses to protect at least1 billion doses to protect at least1 billion people in the next year. first, health workers, then the over 65 is will be prioritised. so what you really want is a situation where you really want is a situation where you can begin to roll those vaccines out, to dampen down the epidemic, but if you have a region that has a raging epidemic, you might want to put more priority in that region to be able to bring it down than another place that alre

the jihadist in question was ona attack? the jihadist in question was on a european watchlist. to go to syria, was one of 90 austrians who were trying to travel to syria for extremist purposes. so uk and other authorities knew about him. the police did not think he was necessarily an imminent threat. the big question is, are there other people behind this? where these one, two, three people, they still don't know for certain, where they are operating on their own or where they directed by a group like isis or al-qaeda like the bataclan attacks in paris were directed. that is one of the things they are focusing on them. this comes at a time of great tension if you look at what has happened in france, it is a time where tempers are high because there isa where tempers are high because there is a feeling that certainly in france the government is trying to defend its secular rest republic. the fact that teacher showed those cartoons of the prophet muhammad was very insulting to many people, who saw the demonstrations. this helps extremists win over other people to their cause. whe

it is quite hard to work out the logic of that strategy ona out the logic of that strategy on a firstnything more behind that? well, it is a confusing message certainly and if that is the kind of befuddled messaging that prevails and it does eventually go to the supreme court, a lot of legal scholars here are saying it is going to be a very difficult argument to win when as you say, he is in one place arguing that the counting of votes continues and quite the opposite elsewhere. clearly, the logic is as far as the trump campaign and is concerned is that he wants to continue counting in places he thinks he is going to win and perhaps stop the counting in places where he thinks he might not be successful. but again, to build a legal argument around that, perhaps the legal arguments applying to different states where different things are happening and making a solid case out of that is going to ta ke case out of that is going to take a lot of lawyers i think to make sense of that. are republicans lining up behind him? well, that is the interesting thing, there has been a sense in the tru
