chris mason, bbc news. as simonjack explains.y 500,000 planes take off or land here every year, and it can't take any more. welcomed the government support for a mammoth project. trust a government that can be with us for many years to deliver this. and that is also our commitment. a third runway will need a tunnel underneath for the m25, see over 700 homes nearby demolished, but create tens of thousands of jobs. local reaction is mainly but not all negative. not good for the people who live around here. they need to build it here. so for them it's normal. i don't think it is a good idea. people sick with asthma. the mission�*s targets. we have legally binding carbon budgets. work in order to make the sums stack up. a third runway here at heathrow has been on the drawing board for decades. opposition and, despite this morning's speech, nothing will happen anytime soon. with a fair wind, the first phase will hit the ground in three to four immediate help to businesses who are facing higher wages, higher tax bills in under ten week

he's been speaking to the bbc�*s business editor simonjack. 0ne one of the things people have not quiterk. for example, £60,000 a yearjob, increasing tax amount and combination of threshold would be around 2%. increase in the cost of a part—time national living wage worker will be around 6.5% part—time national living wage worker will be a

he's been speaking to the bbc�*s business editor simonjack. people haven't quite appreciated about the national insurance increases is just how much they hit retail work. so, for example, £60,000 a yearjob — the increase in tax on that, the combination of the threshold and the ni increase would be around 2%. the increase in the cost of a part time national living wage worker will be around 6.5%. so the axe has fallen particularly hard on those entry—level national living wage jobs. and that's where the pain is going to be felt the most. and i think if i've got one ask of government, it would be phase the increase in the threshold over two or three years. give us a chance to plan and prepare and make this change in a way that is the least harmful, rather than introduce it with six months�* notice. if that doesn't happen, and there's no indication that it will, what does that do to hiring intentions at companies like yours? does that mean having fewer people? it means fewer hours, yeah. fewer hours? fewer hours. whether that be, you know, the sa

our business editor simonjack has more.te house's exercising in the imf. 0bviously, they can't go very many, many stories today without his presence in it. what are they basically saying is that trump's threatened or promised policy of tariffs on goods being imported to the us from abroad, tax cuts within the us, both of those things could stoke inflation in the us and also cause the dollar to accelerate. now, in the short term, they say that could be good for the us, bad for everyone else. a runaway dollar would suck money in from emerging economies, have a trade war which would depress global growth. but it's not all good news. the imf is also warning that if they did have a us boom, at some point they would have to jack up interest rates and then you might get a us bust. and what that might do, that boom, then bust, would begin to compromise the appeal of the us as the safest global asset in the world, us treasuries, whatever. so in the end, basically what they're saying is in the short term, good for the us, bad for the
