will it be the case, the information will come back and it will feed through and it will say, and sooblem at the moment and any research that can help better understand how a pothole forms i think would be welcome. the problem we've got at the moment is the chronic under funding historically which means we're lefting with that £12 billion billjust to bring our roads up to scratch at the moment and any repaired roads so if you just patch a road is weaker than the road was before, just by its nature and we have many roads and your viewers will know them which are just patched and patched and patched and that's because you know, there isn't that core funding to fundamentally solve the years of underfunding fundamentally solve the years of under funding by government of our local road network. he makes a good point, doesn't he, david? locating potholes isn't a problem. so many of our viewers got in contact today to talk about the pothole that's on their road or on their way to work or school and they are huge and they are causing damage to cars sth or school and they are huge and they ar

one of the big things will be immigration and that will be a contentious issue.d been thin lipped about what they are saying about immigration and david davies last night, on question time actually hinted that immigration might not come down in terms of what people are expecting from brexit. so, the truth is, it is a leap in the dark with a blindfold on. nobody really knows what'll happen, including david davies and liam fox. we will have to see how all of shakes down. the front page of the times, lucy. the eyes of history are watching and that includes the picture behind theresa may of the first prime minister of great britain? yes, an interesting choice given many historians revile him as corrupt. but he is the first prime minister and it is that patriotically chip, this union jack flag next to her. it will become an iconic image. i love this buzzword, it isa iconic image. i love this buzzword, it is a wet signature. it is a properfountain pen. it is a wet signature. it is a proper fountain pen. you can see the weight of it. i am disappointed it is not an actua

i will tell him.n the world stage. studio: so, theresa may making that statement to the commons, saying that we will be a strong, self—governing, global britain even outside the eu and saying that britain will continue to play a leading role in europe even after we have left. some very striking comments following from what nicola sturgeon announced yesterday. theresa may was very strong when she said the new relationship we negotiated will work for the whole of the uk. she very much dressed the word whole. she said this is not a moment to play politics and create uncertainty, a nod to comments yesterday from scotland's first minister. finally, theresa may made the point that as far as she is concerned, everything is still on track and article 50 will be triggered by the end of march. that is the latest from the prime minister, officially her statement to update mps on the eu council meeting last week, but strong comments there article 50 and the weeks and months ahead. article 50 will be triggered, sa

a lot of the policies that mr osborne will announce will feed into this budget.nuing cap on benefits, that continuing cap on public sector pay. there will be some renewed cuts public sector pay. there will be some renewed cuts and employment is, all gradually trying to bear down on the deficit, and the little bits of extra money that we get, perhaps the social care, perhaps the business rates, i think we will have to look carefully to see where that money comes from. mr hammond has also suggested that if money is going to be spent, it will have to be saved elsewhere. in the end, europe is the transcending issue of our time and you have always to decide in public life if you have a vote in parliament where that national interest lies. lord heseltine in an extraordinary was sacked for a number of unpaid positions he invite the government on investment and infrastructure, following his decision to vote gains the government last night in the house of lords over that critical vote about giving parliament the final say on brexit. a lot of controversy about that move, n

bevin: i will say this. the conversation that has been had, and i will speak to those of you in the media, but us just as the folk. the discussion that there is disagreement with people as to what to do with health care that touches every one of the 320 million americans, however many there are now. of course there is disagreement about what we should do with it. this is america. americans have opinions. you can't be married to somebody for two days and be in complete agreement on everything at every time. there is a catastrophe that has been hosted upon the american people known as the affordable care act. it hasn't been anything but. this obamacare/affordable care act has been truly does dating. -- truly devastating. we have been in a meeting with small business owners talking about how it is actually impacted them. these are folks who employ thousands upon thousands of folks. it has devastated their businesses. it creates confusion, difficulty, costs. it ultimately gets passed through to somebody. the sys

again, i think we will probably survive that, but we will have another scale. i want to point out the dutch curve -- guy and i were talking about this earlier, the dutch are seen as a safe bet. over thed going back year between dutch debt and bunds, we never get higher than 0.35%. miniscule spread here. does this get blown out in the event of a bad election result, or in the event of worsening relationships with turkey? i don't think a worsening relationship with turkey matters much, however a really bad election result -- it depends on what your term of bad is. but if the freedom party got a majority which is unlikely or if they even managed to form a coalition, that would be quite bad. we have a bit more risk premium in the next 24, 48 hours, but i think ultimately we will move the aunt this week. guy: great stuff as ever. start as we work our way through the session. over the last few minutes, the euro has called it did against the swissie, on offer versus the british pound. reenergized, we will talk about that as one of the big stories of the morning. remem
