simon: i think it weakens.ou know my views have been bullish on the dollar all year and i haven't changed my view. also, mario draghi, we haven't spoken about him and what his role handed over to his successor. will have to push out to the right the pathway to normalization which will take some of the money off the table. who were you expecting to replace mario draghi and does that make a difference? should we assume that whoever takes charge will keep its same for at least a year? simon: i will give you the boring answer. i think the germans are continuing. i think they want it. have luckily gone on with a qe program that is taken longer and seen a greater skill they feel comfortable with and the quid pro quo is they get the next governorship. i think what you see going forward is a policy environment that remains broadly agnostic to the present of the central bank because as grand coalition, the governing council, done by majority vote. don't think it's as presidential as the title suggests. francine: betting

simon, this meeting will begin in about an hour simon, this meeting will begin in aboutan hourand simonreatening language to warn the prime minister that this was going to be crunch time for her over her strategy. i'm joined by one tory backbencher, damian green, the former deputy prime minister, damian green, is this a moment of truth?” doubt it, experience tells me that all these big events that are built up all these big events that are built up as the greater showdown often turn into something of a damp squib, soi turn into something of a damp squib, so i mean, it will be a good session, i am sure the whole parliamentary party will be there, the prime minister will be there to a nswer the prime minister will be there to answer questions as well as make a speech, so a good chance for her to explain where we have got to the negotiations, but i suspect less dramatic than some have been portraying it earlier in the week. theresa may went into the start of the week looking isolated over her strategy, criticised by both the remain and the leave wings of the party — can she count on your s

rich loizou, simon blevins and richard roberts.on, in the pub, they spoke to the bbc. when we were sent down, the scariest thing was thinking, this is happening in the uk in the 21st—century? peaceful protesters are being sent to prison? it's scary to think that if this is happening to us, we're probably not going to be the last time because the issues haven't gone away. this is where it all started. watch the police officer. when she's not looking, simon blevins, a soil scientist, seizes the opportunity. the others were already on the other trucks, stopping seven of them altogether for three days. they were found guilty of causing a public nuisance and sentenced to 15 and 16 months in prison. celebrations outside court when the judges said this was wrong. an immediate custodial sentence in the case of these appellants was manifestly excessive. in ourjudgment, the appropriate sentence, which should have been imposed on the 26th of september, was a community order with a significant requirement of unpaid work. this wasn't a case abo

thanks simon. the decade we've had that that is the biggest average pay rise in nine years. when you take account of inflation — the average wage has gone up by 0.6 %. better than a pay cut — but how does it look over the decade since the crisis? here's what we're earning now — about £25 a week more on average than we did in 2014 — when the squeeze on living standards was at its tightest, if you compare it to the peak we're earning about £20 a week less than before the crisis struck. and weak wage growth is also a big reason why austerity‘s lasted so long. the government keeps raising the amount you can earn before you pay tax — so even though more people are working than ever before, there's still not enough tax rolling in to cover the government's spending — also known as a budget deficit. yet theresa may's promised an end to austerity — which means lots more spending. the government have made two incompatible offers to the electorate. it said in its manifesto it wants to get rid of the deficit,

simone sanders, ryan lizza and alice stewart have to say about that. and also with me to talk about that and other news is mr. fareed zakaria. >> really? >> yes. he's staying up late. >> very well done. and just for you. >> yeah. we're going to hear what he -- you know, he is very plugged in on what happens overseas. he is an expert. and he's going to talk to us about this "washington post" reporter khashoggi being killed and what happens with our relationship with saudi arabia right now. >> great guests, d-lemon. i'll see you in a second. >> see you. >> so she is president trump's voice around the globe. for a little while longer at least. so what happened tonight when nikki haley spoke for herself at one of the most famous dinners in politics? it's a big stage. the ambassador unplugged. next. how can we say when you book direct at choicehotels.com you always get the lowest price on our rooms, guaranteed?

here's our personal finance correspondent simon gompertz. every home has an owner, but often now, it's someone older renting to young tenants, who can't afford to buy. in her 20s is florence, who lives in reading and feels she's effectively been shut out from purchasing a home. i don't think i'll ever be able to get on the housing ladder based on my own income and my own salary without the help of parents or my partner, because of the area of the country that i want to live in. these house prices are just driving up and up and rental prices are driving up and up. one idea the chancellor may be considering for his budget is to make it easier for tenants to buy the homes they're renting by giving them some of the capital gains tax, which the owner should have to pay on selling and refunding

simon.f london's busiest railway stations but throughout much of the day, it has been eerily quiet. some passengers returning now, with news that some services are starting up again. but this is going to be a very limited start up, it's by no means the full timetable. many here are asking howjust 500 metres of overhead cabling coming down can lead to destruction on such a wide scale on the network. trains going nowhere. and passengers desperate for information. many turned up at paddington this morning, unaware of the problems even though trains first ground to a halt last night. it has been a battle to get to work or to heathrow airport to catch flights on time. they told me there is an alternative route. i have to go from here to waterloo, from waterloo to reading and from reading then to parkway, which will take us about another hour and 30 minutes on top of ourjourney. the heathrow express was cancelled, that was the start. we said, is there any coach organised 7 they said, no, you must
