we have a cane corso that used to belong to the late, great sam simon. >> sam simon -- even if you don't recognize the name, you surely know his work as co-developer, with matt groening, of that iconic and long-running tv show, "the simpsons." sam was born in 1955 and grew up in beverly hills, just down the street from groucho marx. after graduating from stanford university, sam catapults his way up in the tv business, becoming a showrunner in 1978 for the hit series "taxi," at the age of 23. >> sam was the youngest showrunner in the history of television, when he was a showrunner on "taxi." >> mark thompson is an l.a. radio host and a long-time friend of simon's. >> to describe him as highly intelligent would be to understate it in the extreme. >> sam works on "barney miller" and "cheers," before teaming up with matt groening on "the simpsons," which premieres on the fox network in 1989. >> matt groening created these characters and this family, but the universe that the simpsons exist in -- the town, the nuclear power plant, mr. burns, all of these different characters... sam simon was

simon: of course they will. if you've got 1.8 trillion of excess reserve around, that is a 7 billion tax on the banking system. i suspect they will go down the tearing root and relieve some of that pressure -- route and relieve some of that pressure. that is not where the greatest concerns really are. this meanwhat does for euro-dollar? simon: structurally, hsbc was pretty bullish on the dollar. i think clearly if i am right, qe is a little further away than markets are currently expecting, then we might see a little bit of upward pressure on the euro in the near-term. euro-dollar is going to move sideways from where we are. francine: would the ecb hold off for now so you can change the outlook because they want to see with the fed does? simon: i think that is another reason not to go. between now and september you see gdp print. you might get a sense of where the manufacturing is going to go further down are not. with the resilience, what is the urgency? worried are you about the german economy? simon: the germ

terrific news, simon. you've got to remember thatjaguar terrific news, simon.ews, simon. you've got to remember thatjaguar land rover has had 6000 redundancies over the last two years, so the news that this will secure the future of 2500 was cause for celebration. also it was interesting that it came at a jaguar land rover, because they have issued some of the most shrill warnings about the threat of a possible no—deal brexit to the industry. so, some will be saying, where they crying wolf? the other thing we are saying, as theo pointed out, there isa saying, as theo pointed out, there is a massive transformation going on in the global car industry, something like £240 billion going to be committed over the next two years to the move to electric. so although this sounds like a lot of money, it isa this sounds like a lot of money, it is a small drop in electric vehicle investment, in which the uk is actually lagging behind. the question for consumers is, are we going to be prepared to drive these cars? about 1% of the market is electric. with the charging infras

for simon yates his mainjob is to help his brother adam win the tour, but with this brave victory, simonw has stage wins at all three of the grantors. behind him in the pellet on all eight in the horse riders made it home. that is the depth in the room that thomas has behind him. and in these famous hills, or that help makes a difference. so here's a check on the general classification after stage 12. frenchman julian alaphilippe retains the yellow jersey afterfinishing in the peloton, with britain's geraint thomas still second. defending champion thomas is one minute 12 seconds behind alaphilippe but will have the opportunity to reduce that deficit in tomorrow's 27 kilometre time trial in pau. still to come on sportsday: so near and yet so far — jack laughter sees gold slip from his fingers at the world championships. and we hear from athlete james ellington, who's returning to the trackjust two and half years after sustaining severe injuries in a motorcycle accident. at the time i was happy to be alive and career—wise at the time i was happy to be alive and ca reer—wise i at the time i

it went down to the line but the british rider, simon yates has won stage 12 of the tour de france ininish. the race entered the pyrenees for the first time today with many expecting this to be where geraint thomas made his move. but frenchman julian alaphillipe is still in the leader's yellow jersey for now, with thomas in second. joe lynskey reports: it heads for the hills, these are the areas where they are stretched out or pulled apart. for the man in yellow, the home fans cannot stop those behind him. the climbs aware thomas was going for the front. but this mountain stage will be remembered for a different britain, and black and yellow, simon gates was in the pack of three, the first to the top with the dissent, this would be a long sprint finish, taking into the final straight for one to make a move. for yates, his job listed help is brother when the tour, but with the sprayed victory, simon gets his own history. he has stage wins at all three of the grantors. behind him all eight and the writers made it home, that is the writers made it home, that is the depth and moron that t

simon iran's actions will no doubt be seen as provoking the u.s. and its allies is your real danger that the u.s. or others will retaliate thereby prompting a major escalation of some kind i think that's certainly a concern that amidst all of these growing tensions that some point that will be a retaliation and that retaliation will kick this crisis on to the next level but what we've seen so far is from from the united states and u.k. calls for a responsible. way of addressing this crisis and i guess that's the big concern and it's the stakes are so high right now that the seizure of my all time crew 5 people in washington and london going to take some kind of military action and that would be the real catalyst for things to get incredibly worse and go. well you know as well as i do this isn't the 1st time that iran has seized an oil tanker in the strait of hormuz what kind of impact with these repeated seizures have on global oil supplies. well i think there's a political dimension to it and this is just mentioned the political dimension concerns

simon french, chief economist for panmure gordon joins us now.helle, give us your take on the corporate stories. on corporate results, there's two things to look out for, first of all, most of the annual comparisons for companies will be quite difficult because global growth was going really strongly at the start of 2018 and up against difficult scenarios will give usa against difficult scenarios will give us a bellwether sense further global growth slowdown has translated to topline growth, that's the first thing but the second thing, we get quite a lot of technology firm announcements and the ongoing trade frictions between the ongoing trade frictions between the us and china has very much hit the us and china has very much hit the enthusiasm protect stocks, maybe not in china but over in the us and europe. will you start to see some of the growth that is predicated on the emerging markets continuing theirdemand the emerging markets continuing their demand for technology started to be pared back and investors using their enthusiasm? a big week

simon jack, bbc news, castle bromwich.ric vehicles account for 1% of the market here in the uk. why is that figure so low? here is emma simpson to explain. buying a new car — it is a big decision, and for many, it comes down to price. electric cars are more expensive. take this petrol vw. new, it sells forjust over £27,500. here is the electric version. it sells for nearly £3,500 more. that is mainly down to the cost of the battery, but that is expected to fall over the next few years. but how far down the road will the battery get you? that is another worry. the average range of a new electric car on the road is 185 miles. the bigger the battery, the further you can go, but the longer it takes to charge. so easy access to public charging points is vital, but right now there are only around 111,000 of them in the uk, not nearly enough, and only a fraction of them are rapid charging which can replenish a battery in half—an—hour. most take a lot longer, so better infrastructure is also needed to convince motorists to switch.

simon, as always, good to see you, thanks so much.throw, passenger numbers up 2% in the same period last year. the airports boss telling the bbc as you can see, shaping up to be a strong year, full details on the business pages. your‘re watching business live — our top story is right here — in westminster. a special edition of the programme. where, in just a few hours time, the uk will know who is set to become its next prime minister. after weeks of debate, policy promises and interviews, will it be borisjohnson orjeremy hunt. we'll get the latest too from brussels — on what could prove to be a decisive day for the future relationship between the uk and the eu. a quick look at how the markets are faring we spoke about what it means for stirling, when we were speaking to louise earlier. the pound buying you a dollar and 2a on the international markets right now. but watch this space, that could change when the outcome of the conservative leadership election becomes clear. now, when was the last time you bought an actual, physical maga

hello again, simon.s a chance to bask in tropical temperatures, for others the extreme weather could mean disruption or danger to health. public health england has issued a heat—health warning. the hot weather‘s led to a reduced or altered service on much of the uk‘s train network today, with some rail firms advising passengers not to travel. severe speed restrictions have been imposed because of measures to prevent rails buckling in the heat. let‘s talk to dr peter stott from the met office who joins us from exeter. are we going to hit that expected record? that's what we are looking at very closely right now actually. we are going to see the maximum temperatures today in the next few minutes probably. it is touch and 90, minutes probably. it is touch and go, but we don‘t know if we will break the all—time record. what we do know is we have broken thejuly record and this is definitely the second warmest day on record, underlining the role of climate change, which has undoubtedly had a pa rt change, whic

simon: that is the $64,000 question.ons have been raised because during the campaign, he did promise brexit -- britain would exit october 31. the question is how is he going to overcome eu on the one hand and the house of commons on the other without disappointing some of the key supporters, in particular the european research group, the hard brexit group within the conservative party who have been his main supporters within that leadership campaign. it is, as guy said, a very difficult ask. there is a part of me that says, well, wouldn't you want to call an election now? a honeymoon period. wouldn't he want to cast that in politically before it all goes astray? paul: theresa may try that and it did not go so well. the may approach of appeasement did not really work. boris johnson does have a couple of radical options in front of him. he can ram this through like a dictator. or you can run down the clock and get to october 31 with nothing happening in that is it. do you see either of those as a likely scenario? simon: we

hi, simon.e he will put on the sentiments. those emotions can all be well and good, and the commitments he has made today, but i think people want to see what substance is put into back that up. what do you make of his visit to faslane? well, he certainly reduced the scope of the audience to meet with him. putting a commitment on defence i suppose it is logical for people support the union. the defence and the base of faslane, the royal navy, it all links very strongly with those who support the conservative party and the union but it doesn‘t connect with people who don‘t support those things. the faslane naval base in particular, nuclear arsenal, a huge bone of contention for snp and independent supporters who don‘t want to see nuclear weapons in scotland or anywhere else in the world. while he might draw support with his pace as it were in scotland, it hardly seems likely to make connections with people in scotland who are not in favour of what he is advocating already. there is a view certain
