with an output of eating a killer watch this tesco has the most powerful of the i'd twenty's engines on the highway it reaches a top speed of one hundred ninety kilometers per hour and it makes the run from zero to one hundred kilometers per hour in ten point two seconds fast enough to keep up with traffic without ending up stuck permanently behind a line of trucks in the right lane. i know that one complaint times you has about the three cylinder engine is that it could be more fuel efficient and modern day rates consumption for it adds up four point six liters per one hundred kilometers but on this test drive it's been more like seven point six three leaders more. apart from the poor mileage though the t.g.v. i engine puts in a good performance for the i twenty and the interior offers plenty of space for a car this size but how does the car do on the long haul trips. that's the one day i twenty is already known as a decent city current today times you found out it also has little problem negotiating country routes again with his engine in the style trim line that one day i had twen

two former directors of tesco have been cleared of committing a 250—million—pound fraud after their trial john scouler were charged in 2016 and had been on trial for eight weeks. the judge said the prosecution's case was so weak the jury shouldn't have to consider it. 0ur economics correspondent andrew verity has been following this long and complex case at the southwark crown court and told me why the case was taken to court. this goes back to september 2014 when you may remember announcing on the news i'm sure that bombshell that tesco had a quarter of £1 billion hole in its accounts. more specifically, that they had inflated their profits by a quarter of £1 billion by bringing forward income when they shouldn't have done. so they had supply contracts where suppliers so keen to being with thesker that they are willing to pay for the privilege, that was supposed to come over five years, that income. they pulled it forward, as they call it, they had a policy of doing that, so they recognise that income this year. it is a bit like you signing a contract with the bbc for five years and sayi

exchange—rate effect for each 5% depreciation, about 1.3%, the food we would go into, whatever, the tesco'seach 5% depreciation about 1.5%. so in the most extreme scenario, so to give an outer bounds, on average, your shopping bill goes up 10%, because we have a 25% depreciation with that. if you go to a more orderly scenario, with a transition, bennett something around the 6% range. now, for individual food products, obviously it is going to vary. but what people will do is what everyone does, that if the price of something goes up more than the price of something else, they switch products. and i am not sure in my constituency if the price of meat goes up, we necessarily all go figure. we wouldn't all go vegan, but we might buy a little more local lamb as opposed to imported veal. the governor also defended recent analysis of brexit scenarios which suggested leaving with no deal could be worse for the economy than the 2008 financial crisis. we had a core team of 20 senior economists who had been working on this for a couple of years, and then drawing in other professionals from across the

what is also interesting is when you look at who else uses than work, including tesco, sky, and if gashone and that network to co nta ct they use that phone and that network to contact people abroad to give them passwords to access the money that they are sending. when you start to think about it, the knock—on effects have gone way beyond our borders and affecting, like you say, economies but also other economies. it also hit softbank in japan and other economies. it also hit softbank injapan and it is all down to ericsson, which is sweden. globalisation. says the world we live in. let‘s turn to the times and is the nhs. what is the story about them? so this is the headline, patients facing a three—week wait to see a gp. iam probably facing a three—week wait to see a gp. i am probably one of them, it definitely takes that long to get one in my surgery. there are 1000 fewer family doctors now than when ministers plan to recruit 5000 more in 2015, so basically we do not have enough gps and what this is really a story about is where healthcare must also go because we have piled lots and l

will that filter through to retailers like tesco?or bad news? not so good really. footfall obviously increased as the week progressed and with or friday was the busiest day. in fact it was actually saturday that was the busiest day. it peaked quite late this year and that's partly because people were out looking for late bargains and we hope that the retailers discount further. it is still lower than last year so it is not a good year for retail. 0k, tom, you are a turkey farmer, does the mood at all about spending affect you? not asked in particular because all of our sales are private to customers who come to the farm to be at their turkeys and nobody ever says anything about the price. they are all happy to pay what we charge. the one thing everyone has a night on his price. has it changed for you? it has changed slightly this year because of the year we have had with the weather, with the heat wave in the summer, the yields of grain have been down and it has meant that the price of the year, food prices, has it had a knock—on eff
