u. k. and for others would want to invest there in the future. i think if you were a company that was selling into the u. k, so you've got a problem with depreciation in the sense that it makes stuff more expensive for people in the u. k. but the nature of the tax cuts is incredibly skewed and it really is the case that this is wonderful if you're selling caviar, high quality leather goods or other forms of. busy consumption for, for the very rich, the vast majority, people in the u. k, aren't going to see any benefit from these tax cuts, except as wiki has said in terms of inflation. so overall i would say this makes for number e z u k, a less attractive place to do business. the big problem is not the particular issues in governments. fit around with tax cuts and interest rate changes happen all the time. the difficulty is that there seems to be a degree of incoherence and even bordering on incompetence around what's going on. and that doesn't foster it doesn't foster any degree of credibility for the last 67 years you k has been looking like an

we got a ceremony that doesn't look too similar to some of the ceremonies the same from the u. k. in recent days with judges in rhode soldiers in ceremonial, uniform right now, our affiliates have gun being fired or the coat out in the presence of a massive gold mace that belongs to the judiciary thing. symbols of power and authority. the legacy of british colonial rule, the ended here $963.00 william root toes, the 5th president of kenya to come to office. then what just give us an idea of what his priorities are going to be. me a very close election 1st and foremost, should be to unite the country and made it by my reading on the campaign trail. i have the choice really bit to address the story cost of living to the major concern. for many canyon increasing prices of food and fuel and fertilizer, complex ukraine. another shot of whose families, one or 2 meals a day, the one meal a day become life become really hot for many can in the candidate promise to address it shows it out when a by a margin, but kenya is already agreed with the international monetary fund subsidies on food

u. k. to thank the people of the various countries that make up the u. k for their condolences will be to wales and that's taking place on friday. he'll be going to the welsh capital cottage. tell us a little more about that. you mentioned that we're westminster hall hall at that's the oldest part of the premise of westminster. right? it is. you can actually see it from where i am now. because it's at the back. it's on the other side. it's not on the river side of the palace, westminster. it's the oldest bit because that's where it all started. that whole is where the sort of government of the u. k. started to grow. the rest of the institutions were built around it. it's been used in the early times as a place for the king delicious advises of place that was used as an early law course. place to raise money performed all the functions of government early on. but as a say is a law court, that was some very famous things that have happened in that westminster hole that was guy fawkes, who try to blow up. so how is how's the problem in his trial took place t

u. k. to the queen's death? i well, i think as i said it was a shock and sadness very beginning. i think as i left the u. k. i at edinburgh airport yesterday. i tried to speak to as many people i can could from different ages and, and there was turning into this enormous gratitude for what she did in her life and how she, how she was the glue of the country's pianist. this gratitude, thankfulness. i, i think this is also why berg, it's just said about, they're expecting 20000000 people to want, whether they will get to want to file past the, the coffin and this is unprecedented. i mean, it's unbelievable to think of that amount of people. and i'm, it is this a gratitude, respect, these old fashioned hats. i keep saying, you know, that that has been unbelievable for.

it's that kind of evidence that has moved people from across the u . k to come here and it effects for many the monarchy was not just a symbol. it's part of what it means to be british. however reverend, whether guided by protocol or genuine feeling is unwelcome, uncomfortable in a neutral. and while somebody may accept that, as a justification for the media is reluctant to speak, ill of the dead, fewer will tolerate other stories important but being overlooked by learning quite a bit unstable time in britain at the moment, we've had a new prime minister 3 days before the queen died and asked to have seen little to no coverage if that kind of policy that might be in there. for instance, we have the energy bill crisis, which is ongoing, which the b, b, c, one particular present on the b b. c said that of course, insignificant now. well, of course, not and dignity because when people ask that tease not be able to afford the energy bells to be cold or winter definitely will be asked to come from that. and his various are the kind of instabilities in britain at

it's going to be really how much homes the u. k. because obviously the you have has big problems potentially coming this. this was with, with energy show that shows as possibly black house better. and that's going to have lots of ripple effects for the u. k. economy through supply chain because our economy is also in length. so i think it's going to be, yeah, i've got much hope to see this truck working in a much more constructive way with the european union. petro on the northern island protocol, which has been really at the heart of the dispute with the european union. where, where do you see things going and what sort of flexibility is there from brussels on this issue? are they likely to give will give up a little bit just to be on the same page as fairly stress in the british government bossa, the e leadership, the you institutions, but also see prime minister sandra state in most states have said that there is, of course, desire to work out any difficulties that my am i need from the protocol, but there is no appetite, renegoti

. government wouldn't take additional measures to protect the u. k. can see what we're seeing here at the moment is solely driven by a massive rise in energy prices. now the moment we are starting to see energy prices to come down, u. k. natural gas prices spike significantly higher early on the back of the indefinite shut down of no screen one that i had since form back from the high the day. so that suggests that any new physical package that is coming in lightning to keep it laid on energy costs. i think any impacts on inflation is likely to be tempered by the fact that already, even given the fact that we've seen a big spike in energy prices, in april u. k. consumers are already feeling the page if you bring in the school majors right now, that will stop that fiscal pinch getting any worse, but it's likely that fuel inflation. ok. so some of the actions that trust could take could help to avoid that. but we'll have to see how she does, michael houston. thank you very much for that. stacy on was staying on energy opec and its allies of agreed to a s
