sluggish productivity growth is that which is falling for many in the uk and the us. e need to borrow from abroad to cover the shortfall. these are significant economic challenges that we face. the response of the community internationally has been to reduce further intensify or corporation of matters trade. last year the wto recorded a rise in new protectionist measures for the first time in many years. we solve the measures to restrict free trade were outstripping measures to encourage it. we have also seen examples of countries failing to play by the rules, in turn creating risks to the global system. nowhere is this clearer than global system. nowhere is this clearerthan in global system. nowhere is this clearer than in relation to the dumping of steel on global markets, something i know is a code and issue here. the urgent need to act to re move here. the urgent need to act to remove excess capacity has been recognised about enough has been done. but the 1930s also taught us the dangers of protectionism. it damages global trade. between 1929—1932, volumes of trade

in terms of special relationship, the uk and us leading the world in standards, isn't the uk kind of brussels? cherry pick. in negotiations you have pejorative terms frame. i could give you a list of things in the european union, that is cherry picking this i have told the british parliament they will be astonished by my politeness in the next two yea rs. by my politeness in the next two years. no point getting into a tit—for—tat exchange, you said this andi tit—for—tat exchange, you said this and i will be read to you back. it is ridiculous. not the way to do it. the issue in terms of the outcome of the end, what we want to see is a free trade agreement. people say how can you do that in two years? i get back to the point i made to the gentleman here. we are already at the point where our standards are identical, to the ones in the european union. we helped to set some of them. that is straightforward in terms of a free—trade agreement. bear in mind, the other way round, notjust the british population, we sell, the last numbers, but it is bigger, the last numbers, but it is bigger, t

later today the uk's brexit secretary david davis will give a speech at the us chambers of commerce inton dc. and as we speak the uk's prime minister is on her way back from a trade trip to japan, a country whose companies employ close to 160,000 people in the uk. now, liam fox, the british secretary of state for international development was also on that trip — here's what he told the bbc a few hours a few hours ago. it's very clear that businesses not just in europe but investors in places like here injapan are getting impatient, and want to see what that final shape of that arrangement is going to be. it's very clear that businesses not just in europe but investors in places like here injapan are getting impatient, they want to know that there'll continue to be an open and liberal trading environment in europe, and there's a worry that if it's not the sort of agreement that britain wants, you could end up with impediments to trade and investment across europe that don't exist today. that was liam fox. we arejoined now by: cornelia meyer — international economist. you have done inter

in march 2015, a ten—nation coalition led by saudi arabia and backed by the us and uk, started bombing reinstate the government that was pushed out by rebels called the houthis, who received support from iran. since then, i have covered the fighting, the bombing and then the starvation. the suffering of ordinary people is a direct consequence of the way this war is being fought. both sides are using control of food and fuel as a weapon. the latest result is the biggest outbreak of cholera ever recorded. 500,000 people have been infected and millions more are at risk. so i am heading up to the highlands to see for myself where this outbreak started. and this is what cholera does to a man. and this is what cholera does to a child. this child looks newborn, but she is 17 months old, and she has caught cholera for the second time. her mother walked for a day to get her baby to this clinic. nowadays, she can't afford transport. this nurse tells me, it is cases like this that show the authorities are failing to deal with the problem at source, by chlorinating the water, and finding out where

we have been hearing a lot about the potential for a us uk trade deal, doesn't donald trump on a great with the uk and this just shows the ha rd with the uk and this just shows the hard issues which are going to come today. donald trump is being lobbied by boeing on the american side and we want to stand up for ourjobs on the site. so these trade deals are not win, win, you have to fight over things. downing street is pleading behind the scenes but it may well be there is a ruling which renders this northern irish operation effectively not profitable and meansjobs go. then this great love in between theresa may and donald trump does not yield economic results. he is still supposed to be coming on a state visit isn't he at some point? it keeps getting kicked into the long grass doesn't it? the suspicion is donald trump is quite apprehensive of protesters and there isa apprehensive of protesters and there is a worry, he worries he might not get a very warm welcome from some quarters and that's why it keeps getting pushed back. if he does not sort this out he's not going to northern irela

we used to overcome them, not for a relationship that ended, but a new partnership that began, a partnership of interests, a partnership of values, a partnership of ambition for a shared future, the uk and the eu, side by side, delivering prosperity and opportunity for all our people. this is the future within our grasp. so together let us seize it. thank you.

it's between canadian company bombardier and the us plane maker, boeing. so, why is the ukin? samira hussain has more from new york. this story starts in 2016 when the canadian aerospace company bombardier on a contract to supply 125 c series passengerjet bombardier on a contract to supply 125 c series passenger jet to bombardier on a contract to supply 125 c series passengerjet to the us airline delta. the american rival boeing says the deal was not fair, since bombardier agreed to sell the majority of those planes below their cost price, a practice known as price dumping. boeing has taken their complaints to both us and international trade authorities. this is clearly a fight between canadian and american company. so why the british prime minister theresa may phone us president donald trump last week about this particular trade dispute? turns out the canadian firm is one of northern ireland's largest employers. the wings and fuselage of bombardier‘s c series and manufactured in this factory. if the trade dispute and the jeopardising the contract, it could cost northern ir

but let's find out what the weather has got in store for us here in the uk.e details. here i am and we have some slow—moving weather at the moment. yesterday, the best of the weather is across the eastern side of the uk. to test, the best sunshine was in the west. things are moving slowly. a zone of low cloud, thick cloud, a little bit of light rain orders all. that will migrate further west. a lot of places will be dry, but a lot of cloud overnight. it will be low enough to give us full. where you have breaks, low—level fog as well. tim bridges of 13 or 1a. clear skies in northern ireland and the further south—west. things should brighten up as cloud lifts, a few princes of sunshine here and there. a shower into eastern scotland, most places will be dry, light skies in the south east. high temperatures of 21 degrees or so. as we move into the middle part of the week, more weather systems coming in from the atlantic, the first signs of something changeable. ragged rain in northern ireland and wales, and the south—west of england. further north and east across

thanks forjoining us, you're on holiday from the uk, what can you see of the outside, what you know togoing on outside? at the moment i can't see anything, it is pitch black night, it is absolutely howling gales outside. before it went dark we saw palm trees snapped in half, we saw tiles ripped off the ceiling of the hotel that we are in. we've currently got a family on the other side of the corridor because the wind is that bad because the winds are shaking and they feel the windows are going to smash in. we've been told people have been told to sleep in the corridor of the hotel, because it is safer in the corridor than in the bedrooms. at the moment it is horrendous. you paint a very worrying picture. you have been relocated once already, is that right? we went to the island of katoatau, a low—lying area to the east of cuba and on thursday we were moved from kate coco to varadero, where we spent eight hours on the coach being told we were going to be safe. we were told we were going out of the area of the storm. eight hours further up north. what have you been told about what your a

us. first, the status of eu citizens in the uk and uk citizens living elsewhere in europe. heir ehic insurance cards. there's no agreement on that, though, for the rest of us. and here's the overall sticking point — who would have legal authority over any deal om citizens‘ rights. the eu wants it to be the ecj,' the uk says that's not acceptable after brexit the second majorfocus is the border between northern ireland and the irish republic. the uk says it wants to maintain an ‘invisible border‘ after brexit, with no physical infrastructure at all, and there were, we‘re told, ‘good discussions‘ on ireland this week. but while the eu understands the sensitivities on the border, it says frictionless trade is impossible once the uk leaves the single market and the customs union. and the toughest issue of all is money — what are the uk‘s financial obligations to the eu when it leaves? the eu hasn‘t published any final demand but it could be as high as a net amount that‘s after some money comes back to the uk of 60 billion euros. that is based largely on commitments the uk has al

you will remember those years both here in the us and the uk where we had what was known as quantitative after the financial crisis. in the us, that lasted from 2009 until the end of 2014 and had a phenomenal effect, if nothing else helping boost local markets. quantitative timing is the opposite. all those assets that the federal reserve has bought, and their balance sheet of $4.5 billion, they are going to start selling off a small portion of that. so the assets gets older back into the market and they remove money from the system. they have made it clear that they are going to be as careful and boring, to use their words, as possible. and of course, we have to see possible. and of course, we have to see carefully how markets react. if markets loved quantitative easing, will they react badly to quantitative tightening? we will have to watch to see how markets react. at the moment, the markets seem to be taking it well. let's talk about toys "r" us filing for ba n kru ptcy talk about toys "r" us filing for bankruptcy protection in the us and canada. just explain what protection that giv

once this is out of the way, does the chancellor's focus returned to what is important to us here in the ukhere in the uk? i'm not sure her focus has ever been in an there. she is a german chancellor. she is positive towards britain. she believes in much of the free—trade agenda that we do. ultimately, her policies will not change too much. she wants to get europeans together, she wants to strengthen the way the european union works and she will protect that. the message from angelo merkel will be that she will carry on as much as she did before election day. and when do we get a result? the polls will close at five o'clock uk time. we have a strong idea of the numbers by around half past six, seven o'clock um and we will be able to make a few educated guesses as to the coalition by the middle of this evening. thank time to find out what is happening with the weather. some real contrast today, it is definitely autumn, isn't it? isjust about the equinox, it is on the 25th, eyesore. by the end of this week, it will be quite warm “— end of this week, it will be quite warm —— it is ——i saw. we

we will use a part of the 73 seats of the uk. n is unfairfora number of because the current situation is unfair for a number of states. because the current situation is unfair for a number of statesm means france will get four new seats. hungry will get none, and jamil reddy has the most allowed under eu law. but others want to see a better reflection of population changes. —— hungary. —— germany has the most allowed. this is where the sinn fein meps is it, anything that the republic of ireland should be given more seats to represent people in northern ireland that they believe should be of the vote in the european elections. we believe there should be three meps enacted from the north. so would notjust the 13 seats for the south of ireland, it would be an additional two. if the allocation went through. but it would also be another three on top of that. it is reasonable that we would make that case because of the fa ct would make that case because of the fact that as eu citizens, we have got rights that are absolute. and the frenc

use the hashtag bbcbizlive. hello and welcome to business live. thousands of aerospace jobs in the ukanada could be at risk after the us department of commerce ruled against bombardier in a dispute with boeing. an interim tariff of 220% has been proposed on the import of bombardier‘s c—series jet to the us. boeing had complained that bombardier got unfair state subsidies from the uk and canada, helping it win a major order. the ruling relates to a $5.6 billion transaction us airline delta made last year for up to 125 of bombardier‘s c—series passenger jets, a rival to boeing's own 737 jet. bombardier, is one of northern ireland's biggest employers, with over 4,000 people in the country on the payroll. they have called the ruling "absurd". and tweeting within the last half an hour the uk prime minister theresa may has said that she is bitterly disappointed by initial ruling and she will continue to work with bombardier to protect vital jobs for northern ireland. our business editor simonjack is in belfast. simon, what more can you tell us about this? well, people here in belfast were b

so, we will use a part of the 73 seats of the uk. s unfair for a number of states. it means france will get four new seats. hungry won't get any. sweden will get one more. but germany will stick with its 97, because theat‘s the maximum allowed under eu law. but some want to see a better reflection of population changes. they're disappointed that has been delayed until the european elections, in 202a. and because of brexit, things are more complicated in northern ireland. this is where the sinn fein meps sit, and they think that the republic of ireland should be given three extra seats to accommodate irish passport holders in northern ireland that they believe should be of the vote in the european elections. we're calling on the irish government to make that case and make it possible there should be three meps elected from the north. so would notjust the 13 seats for the south of ireland, it would be an additional two if the allocation went through. but it would also be another three on top of that. it's reasonable that we would make t

loyalty to donald trump, no matter what appears he drags us towards, then they will be risking a hell of a lot more thanjust losing our support. the ukmust use its much vaunted special relationship with the united states and influence as friend donald trump to drastically calm his rhetoric. if that relationship is organising, if the uk has any sort of influence, in the white house, they must use it now to walk president trump back from the unacceptable threat he has made and to bring some modicum of rationality to his dialogue. it is clear that he whole house hopes overwhelmingly for a diplomatic solution to this crisis but the foreign secretary also stared that we stand by our allies. so on that point may i ask how they received any request for potential military support in south korea, japan or indeed the united states? and if so what has been our response? we have received no such request so far, madam deputy speaker, and our intention is to try and avoid the circumstances in which such a request should be made. i want quiet diplomacy but can i get the message across to the foreign secretary that that means working with all our al
