uk prime minister david cameron.re on a two-day visit and they will take questions from reporters. we're learning from the bbc that u.s. and the uk are going to hold joint cyber war games this year in order to combat or in the efforts to combat terrorism around the world. as we wait for them, let's talk more stocks an bonds turn to bonds because yields are staging a comeback in today's session. jackie deangelis at the nymex. >> that's right. take a look at this chart on the ten year yields dipped below 1.7% earlier but we spiked back up. jim, it tell me what's behind the turnaround here. >> 13 out of the last 14 days, 10-year yield have shtsled lower than the day before. further up the curve it's more than that. to think on a friday there might be position squaring is reasonable. i don't think the fundamental story has changed but everybody is long 10-years we could see 2% before we go lower. >> let me ask jack the same question do you think this is the bottom or go lower or spike and then move around from there? >>

i'm donating by stem cells to a 7-year-old boy in the uk.k as a driver for the shanghai government. i took part in the donation program without much thought. i was quite surprised when the red cross called to tell me they had found a match. i was even more surprised that match was with a foreigner. >> translator: the process is not painful. it is just a system of tubes that draws blood out of my veins, extracts the stem cells before returning the blood. no one inserted big needles into my spine, which is the sort of thing many people imagine happens. in fact i didn't feel a single thing. only that the whole procedure lasted over three hours and i was sleepy. many people including my family asked if i was scared. i wasn't. not at all. >> translator: i hope my stem cells can extend to the uk soon so that little boy can receive them as soon as possible. i hope he will be brave and strong get healthy again and live a good life. this is my biggest wish. >> we hope so too. what would you do? let me know on twitter. thanks for watching "bbc world n

company executives are also eyeing markets beyond the uk. they're keen to challenge other leading manufacturers including canada and france. >> i see in the future continued growth for the railway business and i think hitach ir's very well placed to capture this both strengthen our position in europe, but also to expand our operation to other markets. >> reporter: they're putting more emphasis on selling to rail operators in europe. they also want to push their products in emerging areas like india and other southeast asian countries. and they call their large scale deal in the uk an important milestone in a competitive transportation industry. mitsuko nishikawa, nhk world. >>> it's time now for a check of the weather. people in northern japan are dealing with heavy snow and grusty weather conditions. mai shoji joins us with more. >> we have a pattern that's intensified. some people in hokkaido are dealing with this condition. whiteout condition in the area. people are digging out of the snow. about 200 flights canceled yesterday caused trav

we're see productivity pick up in the uk. that's very good news for the first time, but there are still some shops along the way, not to mention the eurozone. >> and jacob, let's come back to you quickly now. one of the reasons you site in your notes why you think monetary policy will remain easy for an extended period is because you think fiscal policy will be tightened after the election. surely that will only be the case if conservatives win. if labor policy wins we're not going to see tight lipped fiscal policy are we? >> well i can all the major parties within labor are committed to rules the deficit to an acceptable level. for instance labor wants to reduce the current spending deficit within the balance. the conservatives want to move the overall budget the balance, and they want to do it on different time scales using a different mix of measures. but we still have a deficit to remember over 5% of gdp and so i think for the first couple of years, all parties will want to reduce the deficit, but they'll use different in

ireland or uk? investors come up with enormous array, and second biggest question was, do we have to fly there? 4 and paul can tell me in his much broader experience. basically, management wants to know how often they have to leave their headquarters. >> i just want to understand what i think to be the fundamental point you're making. which is in the current world we ought to be looking to owners of the capital and taxing the shareholders and whether their income is coming from a foreign corporation or from a domestic corporation and that in some sense we're starting from the wrong place. and the treasury department in 1992, when it proposed a dividend exclusion system, which was then enacted in 2003, got it exactly backwards. and that is my view today although i was an active participant in the 1992 treasury department study. i like to say if it was right then, it's wrong now. but the truth is, it was probably always wrong. and we ought to be thinking about how we're going to collect tax on the own

the social demand twice in the uk, and the price of the uk stocks particularly the ftse 100. >> and i mentioned it there because what you haven't mentioned is particularly with regard to sterling's weakness. it's political uncertainty. >> well, yes. i think no one really believes we're going to have -- the time about doing his job. i think this is the most interesting general election that we've got. in the past it was pretty easy to see who was going to win. the dream coalition ticket, or is it going to be sort of the steel, as well. uncertainty over labor. the businesses in the uk economy are doing well. the epic game on new year's day. epic in terms of german -- who are in the construction industry. and, you know it's happening in that particular industry. that could be good news. we see one area of the economy and they cash they're going to be splashing it around and that's going to start feeding through to the rest of the economy. >> we have to see some wage improvement, as well. tesco, they've got strategic plans coming out next week. what are your thoughts there? >> you know th

as soon as the attacks in france took place, the government increased security at the uk border. office from a tour de force, the police and other organizations intensify checks on passengers, vehicles and goods entering the uk. we offer the french government all assistance in this area, including the focal operation of our police and security and intelligence agencies. on sunday before i attended the piece rally in paris i held talks with my counter talks in europe, the united states and canada to discuss what action we can take together. it was from support from all the countries present for new action to share intelligence, track the movement of terrorists, defeat the ideology that lies behind the threat. it is important between -- we now deliver on those talks and my officials, the security minister and i will keep up the pace, in particular when it comes to passenger name record with other european member states. on monday, the prime minister, defence secretary and i held a security meeting with senior official to reduce the terrorist attacks and the risks to the uk of a sim

and actually inequality within individual countries is being affected here in the uk at the moment is shrinking. and that in itself would seem fine. does it matter what the inequality is if the level of poverty is improving? if, you know those at the bottom are beginning to lead a better life. which we're told time and again, is the case. >> i think the key thing here if you talk to economists across the board, both left and right, what they talk about is the key impact on the middle class. the middle class being the engine of the economy. you know we had a welfare state in a post-war world, that was created around full-time employment, upon taxes being paid, and not paying for a welfare state. with the hollowing out of the middle class and that being kind of a global phenomenon that's the key concern. what you're seeing is a peeling away from the 1% and literally everyone else, which includes the middle class. >> but, again, i ask, why that needs to be a problem, beyond the fact of you know, no one likes to see people with ridiculous amounts of money doing things they completely didn

it will enhance our ability to deal with those in the uk who pose a risk. in familiar, it will allow the relocation of people subject to terrorism prevention and investigation measures to other parts of the country. in addition, the prime minister has announced 130 million pounds over the next two years for the agency's police and others in addition to the more than half a billion pounds spent on counter terrorism policing every year. this government has done more to confront the ideology behind it. we've invested more time resources and money in counter narrative operations. mr. speaker we have always been clear that the police and agencies must have the capabilities and powers they need to do their job. they are reiterated that commitment. unfortunately, when it comes to communications data and the interceptive communications there's no cross party consensus to give the peace an security service the capabilities they need. let me be absolutely clear every day that passes without the proposals in the communications data bill the capabilities of the people

the uk retailer warned the outlook is challenging.ing earlier to the channel, the cfo says the retail space is a continuously tough environment for operators. the retail sector as a whole has been under controllable pressure not just this year but last year as well. i think if that pressure continues, yes, we will see further failures. as a business we're continue we can continue to outperform in the market. >> good morning to you. thanks so much for joining us. i suppose a general story for uk supermarkets have been squeezed both at the low end by audi and at the high end, all of the spaces suffered by the threat of online. since '10 and '11, they have regained market share. >> yes, that's right. there are all sorts of figures reported, even now in round figures. so yes, they have certainly had a decline in market shares to the expense t of the competitors that you mentioned. then went sharply in the wrong direction. i think on the basis, the market is a discounting mechanism, trying to feel its way towards just how is the sector goi

this is the example robert gave in the uk.rticular target for the budget deficit, you might want to pick policies that have a certain probability of actually hitting that target. we did an analysis, for example of changes had resulted in savings for the department of defense. we concluded it probably had. similar analysis could be helpful but particularly in those specific cases where the congress was trying to hit a particular particular. as an example, lawmakers might want to adopt policies with a smaller variance of budgetary effects to reduce risks to the federal budget. for example, understanding the extent of uncertainty about future federal spending that arises from uncertainty about life spans might affect whether policy makers would want to index eligibility ages for certain programs to life spans. another situation legislators might want to adopt policies with a larger variance of future budgetary outcomes as a means of experimenting to identify the best policies. i think analysts can help sort out those sort of situ

economy and the uk economy. the international monetary fund as good examples of certainly putting the financial crisis behind them. there is an argument that yes, these economic stimulus programs have certainly boosted both the uk and the u.s. is it right for europe we'll have to wait and see. >> one country that will be closely watching the qe announcement is greece. they're getting ready for an election on sunday. it's an important one, because depending on the result some say it could even trigger greece's eventually exit from the euro zone. let's take you to athens and we can join mark lowen who's there for us. mark? >> thank you very much indeed. welcome to lovely sunny athens. great weather for theened of january. in this beautiful square you can see the vibrant cultural is alive and well. sometimes we focus too much on the pain and suffering, but again beneath the surface, there is a lot of pain here. this is a country whose economy has declined by a quarter in the last four years. unemployment over 25%.

into the uk.ans that we should have this dialogue. and i think the marches today will show that there's popular support for that. on the political level, france has elections coming up in 2017. the uk has elections coming up this year. and i think what this will do is this will show political leaders who are posturing for those elections that immigration will now be an immigration issue will be very high on that agenda. historically, it's usually the economy. but i know certainly there was a poll conducted in september of last year that showed the head of the national front in france if an election were to take place in september last year, would've garnered more support. this will only contribute towards the way that they will be posturing towards those elections in 2015 in the uk and 2017 -- >> interesting points you make there. steven, i want to ask you about this, really no presence from the u.s. in today's march other than the u.s. ambassador to france jane hartley. but why do you think that

it will also enhance our ability to deal with those in the uk who pose a risk. in particular, it will allow the relocation of people subject to terrorism prevention and investigation measures to other parts of the country. in addition, the prime minister has announced funding of £130 million over the next two years for the agencies, police and others, on top of the more than £500 million spent on counter-terrorism policing every year. this government have done more to confront the ideology that lies behind the threat we face. i have excluded more foreign hate preachers than any home secretary before me. we have deported abu qatada and extradited abu hamza. we have reformed the prevent strategy so that it tackles non-violent extremism as well as violent extremism. and we have invested more time resources and money in counter-narrative operations. we have always been clear that the police and the security agencies must have the capabilities and powers they need to do their job, and following the attacks in paris the prime minister has reiterated that commitment. u

and the uk.that at the very end of that e-mail, it's mentioned that the folks over at cambridge in the uk have invited the people at m.i.t. to sort of get involved in a sort of hacking competition where they'll try to defeat each other's cyber do i haves. defenses. that may be coming as part of this announcement in a couple of minutes. but there are much more serious matters that will be discussed here. one thing we heard from the british prime minister, he recorded a youtube video and tweeted it out yesterday talking about what he called the islamist terror threat that exists in europe right now. it was interesting to hear that verbiage because during this week, one of the questions that this white house has been faced with is just how seriously they view that threat and how they view that threat. it was announced here at the white house that they will be holding a countering violent extremism summit. and why is this not being described as an islamist terrorist extremism summit? some tonal diffe

the uk is the second-largest contributor to the anti-isil coalition. or a -- raf aircraft have conducted over 100 strikes and will continue to play a leading role. we will deploy additional intelligence and surveillance assets to help iraqi forces on the ground. we will make sure that are equipped to counter explosive devices. most important of all, we must also fight this poisonous ideology starting at home. in the uk we are passing a law so that every public body must combat extremism. and this morning, we have agreed to establish a joint group to identify what we can do to counter the rise of domestic extremism and to learn from one another. in europe, russia has chosen to tear up the international rulebook and trample over the affairs of a sovereign state. this threatens our stability and prosperity. it is important that every country understands that, and that no one in europe forgets our history. we cannot walk on by. so we will continue to put pressure on russia to resolve this crisis diplomatically. and at the same time we will continue our eff

when it comes to the general election, let's say in the uk will people really want to vote uk?when it comes down to it? how many issues do they even know apart from getting out of europe and anti-immigration? what other parties do they know about? i think the answer is none. >> you mentioned earlier if you're willing to touch on it that your family lives in and around paris. can you give us a feel for what sentiment is like on the ground? >> just shock. again, if you think about the impact, we haven't had as many deaths in a terrorist attack in paris since 1968. in fact, even in 1995 the last significant terror attack there were eight. so the charlie hebdo massacre is significantly worse and it's still not over yet. so i think that people are just reeling in shock, frankly. >> as you said there's the live pictures of the event unfolding in the hostage situation in france at the moment. >> there's been a discussion around air traffic as we watch the situation at dommartin-en-geoel. there is no impact on air traffic and flights have been diverted from flying over the area. flight

now he's recording his own life with how his jewish parents ss immigrated to the uk.ow his mom, june in the face of upheaval succumbed to mental illness. here's her story. >> she always craved the sun of south africa. when i say south africa and think of my mother i see her smiling on a beach or laughing in the sunlight. in any other context, it's the manic depression that comes through. the heart of it is my mother. she is the girl from human street. she was born in a little mining town in south africa on human street. she died 15 years ago and she had suffered from mental illness. and i found about ten years ago two suicide notes from 1978 and 1982 both times she survived. and i realized i knew very little of what had happened to her and i thought i could tell a story that was at once intimate of my family, of my mother's upheaval and breakdown, and a wider story of wandering, of immigration, of the quest to belong, of the quest for identity jewish identity rediscovery, so those are the threads that go into "the girl from human street." we think of immigration alway

and uk economies have pulled ahead of many other western economies.ing of any major economies last year and that the solution to some of these challenges of inequality and lack of opportunity are lay in fair systems, minimum wage and the like but also education reform. so yes there was a common view as i think the president put it. we must be doing something right if we've got both job creating economies. but there's a lot more to do and a huge challenge to stay competitive in the world. i don't think there's any reason why britain can't be the most prosperous major economy in the world and the coming generation. we've got great universities four of the top six in the world are located in the uk. we've got the lowest most competitive taxes of the g-20. we're investing massively in our infrastructure and huge amount of investment more chinese investment into the uk than actually france germany and italy put together. so we've got the right ingredients. we've just got to deliver on that. i'm an optimist about the future. lots of risks out there but ther

in the first video this is the proof from west midland police in the uk.his starts off in a local petrol station. this is gary griffin. he is not doing anything untoward. a container fills with gas, throws it into the back of the car. this is where gary is returning to the home of his spurned lover that he dated. he is going to pour gas in the letter box through the front door of her house then you know what he is going to do. >> that is awful and evil. >> especially over a break-up. come on. it hurts, sure. get over it. >> it was from just a short-term relationship. they dated a short time in the end of 2013. this actually happened in march. fortunately, somebody was paying attention. after it a bunch of fire engines turn up. nobody was hurt. the reason this was just released he was just found guilty in november and found 16 years. making poor life decisions. not unlike these two fellows in australia. two guys smashing their way into a hotel next to a pub. what do you think they are attacking? >> the atm? >> of course. it's not going well. he is smashing

it's a full 30 years now since the first mobile phone call was made here in the uk. our technology correspondent has this report. >> reporter: remember when this was the only way of making a phone call if you were out and about. all of that changed just after midnight on new year's day, 1985. michael harrison sneaked out of his family's party in surrey and made his way to london's parliament square. there he made the uk's first mobile phone call to his father, sir ernest harrison, chairman of a new firm. >> my father was at his home down in surrey. when he answered the phone, i could say to him, hi, dad, mike here, happy new year, this is the first call ever made on a uk mobile network. >> reporter: and what was the signal like? >> it was just like making a normal telephone call. it was very clear. it was just a very normal, natural thing to do, it seemed. >> reporter: exciting new technology, but at first only for the few. the first phones cost a fortune and were really meant just to be used in cars. you didn't want to take one of these out with you. then a few year

if you contrast the 1.1 million refugees in lebanon with for example, the 500 that the uk has offered, it's very clear that rich countries can and should do more. and in the third instance really really prioritize a push for a political solution to the conflict inside syria itself. >> daniel give us an idea what life is like for these syrian refugees. obviously it's cold right now. winter is a horrible time to be living in some of the conditions that some of these people are living in. >> well there's the snowstorms coming to lebanon and to jordan and obviously if you're living in sub stanstandard accommodation, if there's less and less aid, because the u.n. agencies have had to cut back the amount of aid that they can give to refugees. and also there's increasing tension between the host communities and the refugees themselves. it's an increasingly precarious and difficult and desperate situation for the refugees in neighboring countries. >> are you seeing the religious, the sectarian balance being altered in lebanon because of the amount of refugees that are pouring into the country

first, north sea oil is a vital industry for the uk and one of the biggest investors in our country,d do everything we can to help it. secondly, and for that reason, we took steps in the autumn statement to improve the taxation regime for north sea oil. thirdly, as we said during the referendum campaign, it makes the case that north sea oil is better off with the broad shoulders of the uk standing behind it, because we never know when the oil price is going to be more than $100 a barrel or, as it is today, around $50. it makes the case for the strength of the uk and the utterly misguided nature of the snp, which thought it could base its entire budget on such a high oil price. >> the latest o.n.s. figures show that youth unemployment in crawley is at its lowest level since records began, but of course we need to do a lot more. what further policies are the government pursuing to ensure that businesses in crawley and across the country generate even more employment as part of our long-term economic plan? >> i am delighted to agree with my honorable friend. the youth claimant count in
