traders and the losses really picked up steam late in the day, late in the trading day, after the financial timeshe trump administration turned down an offer to hold appropriate treat trade talks with china. that really then accelerated the sell—off —— preperatory. use or the economic official larry cutler saying the story was untrue. —— you saw. there we re story was untrue. —— you saw. there were no meetings planned. the question with all of this and we have seen going back and forth in the day, is that there is a lot of preparation that goes on behind the scenes. some of those meetings are not going to take place even if those us senior officials were never going to meet with their chinese counterparts. michelle fleury there in new york. the white house has signalled that donald trump is still planning to go ahead with next week's state of the union address despite the house speaker nancy pelosi strongly urging the president to delay the speech due to the government shut down. and this all comes as the deadlock has passed the one—month mark. while it is now the longer shut down in us history,

ok, let's go to the front page of the financial times, which has the story that has been on all day,bout the loss ofjobs in the car industry. yeah, it still does not car manufacturers are announcing job cuts in the uk and europe more generally. 0bviously, that is very concerning for the workers involved, jaguar land rover is britain's largest car—maker, and they are announcing that they are... on top of the 1500 factory jobs that announcing that they are... on top of the 1500 factoryjobs that it shed last year. one way of looking at this though is that it's a sort of natural response to policy change which we are going to have to get used to. there's an interesting paragraph here that says both ford and jaguar land rover are now planning to shift investment into producing electric and hybrid cars, and that consumers are becoming much more nervous about buying cars, because of buying diesel cars and gas cards, because of possible future bands in big cities. the real question going forward is not necessarily how do we stop these workers losing theirjobs producing traditional cars, but

actually, i think before the financial times reporting came out. it was about the previous report of the president taking these meetings with putin and said it's a sensitive issue and preferred to discuss it in a closed session. i wonder, again, this is, i guess i'll am asking a hypothet but can the intelligence community or government more broadly take any steps to sort of mitigate the kind of thing you say here is terrifying to mitigate the worst potential implications of what is happening here? >> the principle thing is the investigation taking place. we know rachel, this is a president tern of this. you'll recall during the transition, jared kushner was trying to set up a secure communications link with moscow. and that's part of what raised concerns in the u.s. intelligence committee, why would the president's son-in-law want to be able to talk to the kremlin without anybody else doing what is being discussed? we seen a pattern of them wanting to have these conversations. we seen the fact president trump is seeking out putin at all of these vei

and the financial times focuses on tech giant apple's warning over weak sales in china, after the company biggest one—day share price drop in five years. so there you go that's the flavour of the front pages. that kicked off then, brexit and has been quiet over then, brexit and has been quiet over the christmas holidays. it is back with a vengeance on the front pages of the telegraph. yes, and as you are saying the premise or wanted to be quiet because she wants to take the heat out of brexit to try get the heat out of brexit to try get the mps to reconsider her plant for a withdrawal agreement. wherever she had a bill before christmas because she was heading for quite a catastrophic defeat. she was hoping that over christmas period some tension that was building up that had a fetid atmosphere amongst that mike that would diffuse and now boom we're back in the new year and we seem to be exactly where we were before. at this difficulty we have this poll done, showing that the tory party members just like the labour party members are out of step with the party leader. is that added pressure

the financial times has a story about brussels accusing eight unnamed banks of colluding in the seven bonds. a variety of stories making the front pages, with many of tomorrows papers showing pictures of the snow. what a time to slope off? the paper having a dim view of the mps going by the holiday and the fact that the recess has been cancelled? this is something we are all expecting that this process was being cancelled. they are running out of time with brexit. for some mps, they are running out of time with brexit. forsome mps, it they are running out of time with brexit. for some mps, it does not appear to have taken them by surprise. they spend thousands of pounds on skiing holidays and breaks, and they are expected to be a pilot. this caused an outcry and a set but you need to help us, fund oui’ set but you need to help us, fund our holidays, they said no, which went to a letter tojulian smit and said that if you do have holiday time with family, you

the time tonight. thanks for being here. >> it's great to be with you. >> so i wanted to get your take on this latest reporting from "financial" today. they're reporting as recently as several weeks ago president trump took another sort of off the books meeting with the russian president, with once again no u.s. officials present, no u.s. translator and we knew he had done this in the past. he's apparently continuing to do this, and i just wanted to know what you think about this from a national security perspective. >> rachel, i think it's terrifying, to tell you the truth. a lot of times when we were in government, president obama would have to go into what we call a one-on-one meeting with president putin. by one-on-one, we'd always someone in the room. usually the national security adviser. that person was there to be able to read out to the other officials in the government what took place, what was discussed in that meeting. the fact that donald trump wants nobody else in these meetings, wants no record of these meetings, even from the trabs translator, suggests that those discussions are of no use to the u.s. governmen

more potential problems on the front of the financial times, which has a story on the b—word — that'semorandum says britain is struggling to replace important trade deals before the uk is due to leave the eu. next up is bloomberg, which reports on four officials with the car firm audi. they have been indicted for their alleged roles in a conspiracy to defraud customers by cheating on emissions tests. finally, we turn to business insider, which reports on netflix‘s latest results. the online streaming service says it has nearly 140 million subscribers, but its value dropped slightly after itjust failed to achieve expected revenues for the fourth quarter. with me is bev shah, co—founder and chief executive of city hive. thank you very much. shall we start with this story here? the duke of edinburgh, the daily mail saying how did he walk away? it seems extraordinary, looking at this image. this is a 2.5 ton car. yes, and he is a 97—year—old man who is extremely frail, from what we have heard about his health reports. i was actually shocked that he still drove himself, i know a few years

the financial times has quite a lot of stuff that has grabbed my attention, apple and tesla shares falling chinese tech in the eu over concerns about cyber spying. this relates of course to huawei, which has been limited in countries around the world. chinese tech companies have certainly been buying up companies and winning contracts within the european union for a very long period of time. this story is saying that now the eu wants to scrutinise this much more, actually wa nts to scrutinise this much more, actually wants to map what is it that china is owning or having contracts with? because there ears... and they too late? —— aren't. i think there is definitely concern about china's is a bit soft power to try and gain a strategic decision. we are seeing it for example in china's wheldon road programme, the huge investments in the new silk road, china is seen to be advancing its position to soft methods, rather than hard methods, i think it is part of the uk getting increasingly worried about china's strength. —— belt and road. increasingly worried about china's strength. -- belt and ro

concerns mr for you who has the catholic church behind him and some data analysis notably by the financial times and other observers is this battle over to see have a way to fight back for what he claims is his victory. marker for you to say here today during his press conference that only one if you make president and i think that for the moment. because it's a given his last words and matter for you to don't have actually goes tools to fight this decision even if you say that you think it is not the legitimate president the court has given these last words so maybe he's waiting for the arrival more of the village and here in kinshasa but it's a complete level and that level i think everything is and out but we need to wait for what the states of a few weeks is more right so the african union delegation arriving tomorrow will be looking for that into talking to you when the bashing can shut concetta thanks for that. thank you champion roger federer the thirty seven year old swiss lost a twenty year old safe and has to see fights a greek player with a big following in melbourne because of that c
