The tumbling oil price continues to ravage businesses

and governments around the World- today it's the turn of Nigeria.

to cover its growing budget deficit, a shortfall brought

about by the collapse in crude prices.

Oil is vital for the Nigerian economy.

It accounts for around two-thirds of government revenue and nearly

Brent is currently hovering around $35 per barrel and, despite a recent

rally in oil prices, crude is still down 70%

And that's prompted the Nigerian government to request $2.5 billion

from the World Bank and a reported $1 billion from the

Razia Khan, Head of African Economics at Standard Chartered,

What more do we know about the terms and conditions and the loan itself

being offered? I expect we will get more detail in time but we shouldn't

be surprised by this. The Nigerian government that came to power last

year has gone for a counter cyclical budget looking to increase spending

and looking to ensure that a lot more of the budget is earmarked for

development expenditure. Essentially, for infrastructure

projects. This is seen as necessary at a time of weak growth because of

the oil price shock. Nigeria has many options open in terms of the

financing of that budget. It could go to international capital markets,

issued another Euro bond. What we seem to be hearing from the Finance

Ministry is that if there is more concessional financing available for

this infrastructure projects, White not take advantage of cheaper

financing rather than going to the markets at a time when everybody is

very nervous about the oil price outlook and what that might mean for

Nigeria. In terms of how this will work, what conditions are attached?

We don't yet know about that. When we look at conditionality that would

accompany an IMF programme, perhaps what needs to be in place is general

would like approval of the overall economic policy in Nigeria. It is

not clear there will be any hard conditionality, structural

benchmarks or performance criteria are set. Nigeria, for now, and we

ran through the numbers about how heavily dependent they are on oil

revenue, what country next? In terms of the falling oil price, we know it

is affecting all producers, but Nigeria more than most. Who's next?

This is an interesting question. We have seen healthier oil prices, but

also better access to international capital markets for a range of

African sovereigns. Whether or not they were when producers. Often we

were finding a preference for issuing externally because it was

relatively cheap when it wasn't really the case that countries had

made full use of the concessional financing available to them. I think

there is still? Around this. How much should we be seeing it as

Nigeria looking to borrow from the World Bank and the African

development bank because of the current level of one prices which

work how much are they thinking through their longer term choices

for financing infrastructure spending? One we will watch closely.

Thank you. The European Council president

Donald Tusk exited last night's talks with British Prime

Minister David Cameron, saying there was no deal yet over

the UK's relationship with the EU. The UK's Prime Minister seeks

to restrict welfare payments for EU migrants and prevent Britain

from being drawn into further Mr Cameron is aiming to strike

a deal to be put before EU leaders ahead of a summit in just

over two weeks. Manufacturing in China

slowed again in January, hitting the weakest level

in more than three years. The economy is already growing

at the slowest rate in a quarter of a century and one trillion

dollars has flown out of its stock The UK's biggest bank, HSBC,

is to impose a global freeze on pay Details sent to staff yesterday

outline the measures as part In June, HSBC told investors it

would slash $5 billion Barclays is to be fined 70-million

dollars for misleading investors about its so-called 'dark

pool' trading operations. Dark pools allow investors to trade

shares - while keeping A settlement with Credit Suisse -

which is expected to pay 84-million dollars - is also

expected later today. Let's take you to the business live

page. And stories we can fit in but rose Royce are winning a new order

from Norwegian airlines would streamline engines. There is a lot

of rivalry between point and Airbus but it seems they have plumped for a

point with their true minor for $1.9 billion worth. That is 19. The

lucrative part of this is the long-term maintenance contract. We

will talk about energy because we were talking about the cost of oil.

When it comes to our homes, the cost of energy delivery is going up. All

and gas prices are falling. But before that as filter through to our

bills, we hope. Not quite. Refund of one energy firms says the cost of

delivery is rising. That is getting it to our homes and that is keeping

the price higher. Not least on top of the extra things like tax and

other costs that go into making up your bill. Toyota making headlines

for all the wrong reasons. It is hard to stop car production in Japan

because they are running out of parts. Let's go to Singapore. This

sounds astonishing that a car-maker as big as Toyota pass to stop

production. Tell us more. It is a supply chain problem. They have run

out of parts. Due to a shortage of steel used in making things like

engines and transmissions. They are stopping production starting from

the bridge it, which is conveniently the Chinese New Year. It will run

until the 15th. That is not a huge amount of time

but it will stop production. The producer was badly damaged in an

explosion in January so Toda have said they were looking for

alternative options, including sourcing parts and components from

other steelmakers. They really give no specifics as to how the car is

produced in Japan will be affected. What we know is that overseas

factories will not be affected. We do know that Toyota produced about 4

million cars in Japan last year and that nearly half of those were

exported. If someone ordered the latest hybrid and they are codified

it will not notify -- not arrive on time, we know why. Investors aren't

too concerned because shares rose 2% along with the -- broader market.

Japan had a good session. True to jurors are higher. Most stocks are

because the Japanese yen is cheaper because of the cut in interest

rates. But boosted trade there. Hong Kong and Shanghai had a tough

session following news about factory data out of a January showing

contraction begin. That was because of Wall Street. But look at Europe.

To get a sense of how the new week is shaping up, we are all in the red

at the moment. But of companies coming up with earnings. We will

talk more about that. Let's look ahead to what will happen on Wall

Street. This is a big week for earning

reports and data. The parent company of Google report their

fourth-quarter results for the first time. The company said the numbers

will be broken into two categories. Google and what it calls other

things, such as calico and nest. After Facebook reported strong

mobile Avenue -- advertising revenue, and this will look to see

how Google is doing. The maker of Barbie dolls report the latest

earnings after it straight quarters of falling sales, investors are

looking for a strong holiday quarter. While the big economic news

this week is the jobs report, this Monday sees report on the

manufacturing sector and on consumer spending.

Joining us is James Hughes, Chief Market Analyst,

Nice to see you. But just touch on China. Another slowdown in growth.

How worried should we be? The workshop of the word slowing down,

we knew that already. I don't think we should be more worried about the

latest figures but we should be worried about the overall slowdown,

to be honest. That is being shown in these markets up until now. The fact

that these numbers are still falling and they are likely to continue

falling. It is not just manufacturing, it is imports and

exports, GDP. Everywhere you look, there is a problem in China. We have

to be ready for this word China. Markets seem to go yes when

they bank of Japan cut interest rates. Are we feeling the effects?

Most definitely. We saw a hellish start to the year and then all of a

sudden the bank of Japan, and it was out of the blue, we didn't expect

it, we get it and it wipes out a lot of the negativity we have had so we

are starting from scratch again which is a good thing for the

markets. Let's talk -- touch on Ryanair. They raised their profit

guidance in September and it been cut back as a result of those

terror threats in Paris and tough competition in the market. Where are

we with Ryanair in terms of what the market expects? Expectations are

going little bit in terms of what are singing airlines and it has been

a struggle and industry for a fact they are now saying they are

likely to get end of year profit figures is really a good sign when

there With Ryanair are doing so, talking

about terror threats and lower prices

positivity there. For quite a while, there has not been. Especially...

Ryanair has thrown off the cheap and nasty image and now it is... It is

no experience as well. You have to

remember Ryanair is fighting a big reputation of situation. Good stuff.

Thank you Still to come, delivered

to your door at the touch It was once the stuff of science

fiction, but these days you can get We meet one firm that says it can

do it within the hour, You're with Business

Live from BBC News. Budget airline Ryanair has

reported its third quarter results this morning and says its on track

to meet its full-year profit Higher passenger numbers helped

to make up for lower fares and the airline says it will return

?600 million to shareholders The Chief Financial Officer

of Ryanair is Neil Sorahan, Thank you for being on the

programme. Strong set of numbers yet again. You have highlighted some

issues that hit you after September last year like all airlines.

Sentiment was against you following what happened in Paris at the end of

last year. Also, the lower price of oil helping you. There are strong

set of numbers. Our profit was up 110% to 103 million. The first half

of the quarter was strong but after the Paris and Brussels events on

November 13, the sort softness in the market which we reacted to with

price promotions and discounting. The outcome was that we saw our

passenger numbers increase by 20% to 25 million and our load factor was

up five percentage points to 23%. Cost performance in the quarter was

excellent and we came in with 103 million when our average was down 1%

to 40 euros. A good performance in the quarter. Talk us through the

weight the higher passenger numbers helped to offset lower fares because

he faced tough competition in the market and clearly you need to cut

fares to keep passengers on board but you are managing to keep in line

with that guidance. Is We have got the lowest costs of

any airline out there. Our costs per passenger excluding fuel was 29 euro

last year. The next nearest to us would be 35% higher and easyJet

would be 80% higher on their cost per passenger. That's something that

Ryanair is well able to do. As we move into the next quarter, Q 4,

March 2016, we're guiding that our fares will be down on average 6%,

however we have got lower costs. Our fares will be down about 2% which

means we will be profitable again. We're out of time. The chief

financial of Ryanair, we appreciate your time. That's the latest from

that budget carrier. More on the tablet.

Our top story, Nigeria has asked the World Bank for an emergency loan

to cover the country's growing budget deficit.

The Nigerian economy has been hit hard by the collapse in oil prices

and the World Bank says it's been asked for $2.5 billion,

with a further $1 billion reportedly sought from

Imagine ordering something online and getting it delivered

That's what one central London firm is promising to its customers.

Quiqup has 500 drivers who say they can deliver almost anything,

from picking up your favourite hamburger to bringing you keys

Using a mobile app, it aims to deliver your order within an hour

but only within central London at the moment.

Since it started in 2014, Quiqup says it's made more

With me is Bassel El Koussa, co-founder and Chief Executive of

You said it is now 200,000? Actually more than that. We need to keep

things confidential in this industry. 200,000 deliveries since

2014. Talk us through this. There is a lot of competition in that market.

You're offering more than them because it is not just about food,

this is about everything and as we said, it could be the keys you left

in the office, a bunch of flowers or the food you want, a takeaway. This

is becoming a very competitive space because there is a lot of demand for

faster lifestyle for people to get that kind of convenience. What we

look to do differently is to kind of bring power to the retailers and

give you the ability to pretty much get anything you want. Anything that

you could usually find on an E commerce website, you can source

within 14 kilometre radius from where you stand in the metropolitan

area. We look to flip the E commerce model on its head and we end up

giving local businesses the ability to compete and stay relevant in the

growing E commerce space. We are giving them legs, the ability to be

online and reach customers. Is that the bit with smaller retailers are

lacking, they can't take on the big retrailers and it is a labour

intensive process if you're promising to get stuff to people

within an hour, you need a lot of drivers in a lot of places to meet

the deadline. That must cost you money though? 100%, but the thing is

the difference between us carrying that and the retailers themselves

carrying that is that we end up being able to benefit from different

patterns of demand throughout the day because people buy things at

different times of the day and there are different behaviours that

aggregate into us creating a level of efficiency with our business.

Imagine people order lunch at certain times and dinner at certain

times, but they order groceries at certain times and we can keep our

drivers busy. That's how the model becomes profitable. It is all about

that operational efficiency that we can create. How expensive is it? I

have left my keys here and it causes havoc. If I was to order a Quiqup to

pick them up and bring them to my house. Generally speaking, is it

something that's do-able for most people? OK, so there are two sides

of the service. There is the pure convenience side where you want to

just get get something from wherever you want and it is not from a

retailer that we have a relationship with and so, then you would carry

the cost of that delivery. Whereas, it would average ?5 for you to do

something like that. If we have a partnership with a specific retailer

or restaurant, it would be as low as ?1.50. We are running out of time.

But I want to mention the Quiqup dog. Something we're finding with a

lot of our entrepreneurs, who come in, there is a dog that's with the

company, but also how cute is your dog. Quickly, you're from Lebanon

and you ran a business there and a lot of what you learned there, or

put into practise there, is what you're finding is really helpful in

London? Life is about experiences and you learn things along the way.

I didn't run a business in Lebanon, I was part of a family business. I

grew up in an entrepreneurial household and it helped a lot. It is

a place you need to be very versatile and so a lot of the things

I learned in that experience, I brought with me here.

Really nice to see you. Time is tight, but really nice to see you.

Thank you so much. In a moment, we'll but getting more

on the UK's EU membership negotiations but first here's

a quick look at some of the papers. The Telegraph reports that

Saudi Arabia faces years of austerity as the low oil

price forces the kingdom In other oil related news,

the Washington Post says that

Venezuela is on the brink with an inflation rate

running at a massive 720%. The Guardian focuses on that

EU UK renegotiation. The paper claims that

David Cameron's hopes of early EU referendum have receded

as his attempt to broker a deal David Cameron and European Council

President Donald Tusk are set for a "crucial" day of talks

about the UK's renegotiated A meeting last night

ended without a deal, though a Downing Street sources say

there had been a "breakthrough" on restricting benefits

for EU migrants. Robert Oulds, director

of The Bruges Group, A little earlier he gave us his

thoughts on today's negotiations. Well, I think we will get more

political theatre. We will get the position of David Cameron trying to

argue that he is trying to force a real change in Britain's terms of

and under resistance from other EU and under resistance from other EU

leaders in advance of a deal at the European Council meeting later in

February. They would only be minor changes and the issue of migrants

access to benefits is a side issue. It is not the burning issue in

British politics that we need to get resolved. Whilst you are in the

European Union, there is still supremacy of EU law over national

laws and there are still costs, David Cameron isn't getting to a

grip of those major issues and the issue of migrants access to benefits

is something that's been invented by David Cameron so he can project

himself as a Euro-sceptic, but it doesn't mean that Britain would stop

paying billions to the EU each year. That the supremacy of EU law. So

really, we need substantial window-dressing.

That's one view there. Peter Wilding joins us now. Peter,

welcome to Business Live. In or out, what is your view on the UK's

continued membership. Where should we lob k looking? We should be a

leading nation within Europe and by being a leading nation within

Europe, we will continue to be a leading nation within the globe.

Europe is a leaver of power we have. We want a reformed European Union.

We have a great number of allies who want the same. I believe you will

see that deal done on 19th February. If we don't get reforms or changes

that many are arguing that they want including the likes of the

Confederation of British Industry, are you still for us remaining in?

Well, there are four reforms the Prime Minister wants. He wants the

completion of the single market, more competitiveness, less red tape,

more power for national parliaments, an end to ever closer union and the

final migration issue. He has got deals on all of those. The only

thing we're waiting for right now is the breakthrough that you just

mentioned a second ago. It seems to me that Number Ten and Donald Tusk

have got agreement, the 24 hours of negotiation are really about ironing

out the details. But the detail will be the bit that determines whether

we remain within Europe because the detail is what everybody needs to

know, that's what the detail that will affect our day-to-day lives. It

is all well and good having the headline agreement, but until the

detail filters through to the red tape on business, on the benefits

from migrants coming to the UK, those are the details that people

will get so concerned about? Well, yeah. The Prime Minister has made

his case clear. If he gets what he has demanded then he has succeeded

and it will be presented to the country, but we must remember here

and businesses watching our programme will be be guiled by the

fact that we are talking about these microissues. Britain's membership of

the European Union is about much more than indeed the microdetails,

it is about Britain playing its part in the world, opening up markets,

creating jobs and making sure there are more profits. I would hate it if

this debate just simply came down to fear and economics when it is really

about the power of Britain in the modern world and I think that's

really what this is all about. . Peter, thank you very much.

We will see you soon. Hello there. The start of February

and we've got the eighth named storm hurtling in off the Atlantic. The

centre of Storm Henry will pass between Iceland and the United

Kingdom, but
