:00:24. > :00:28.A leading think tank says the UK should remain part
:00:29. > :00:31.of the European single market, but is this a step too far
:00:32. > :00:38.Live from London, that's our top story on Wednesday
:00:39. > :00:56.Leaving Europe's single market could cost the UK 4%
:00:57. > :01:01.But can negotiators keep Britain in the trading bloc,
:01:02. > :01:11.while balancing demands to control freedom of movement?
:01:12. > :01:15.And a third day of disruption for Delta passengers in the US.
:01:16. > :01:24.We look at how a technical glitch can cause transport chaos.
:01:25. > :01:29.Traders have hit the pause button in Europe with the main market falling
:01:30. > :01:31.slightly, we will explain why. And imagine making 10,000 cakes
:01:32. > :01:33.for dignitaries and celebrities. We'll be meeting the founder
:01:34. > :01:36.of a London company Facebook cracks down
:01:37. > :02:13.on software which blocks It is jam-packed and we will have
:02:14. > :02:17.jam in the cakes, I am sure. Do get in touch and let's know your views
:02:18. > :02:19.on the advertisement blocking on Facebook.
:02:20. > :02:21.A new report is suggesting the UK could achieve significantly stronger
:02:22. > :02:24.economic growth if it found a way to stay
:02:25. > :02:27.Although Britain has taken the decision to leave
:02:28. > :02:28.the 28-country political union, some experts believe it may
:02:29. > :02:31.be possible for the UK to remain part of the EU's
:02:32. > :02:36.Research by the Institute for Fiscal Studies says that over
:02:37. > :02:38.the medium to longer term, Britain's GDP could be
:02:39. > :02:41.4% higher if it stayed within the single market.
:02:42. > :02:43.The IFS believes there's a huge difference between "full membership"
:02:44. > :02:57.It argues "membership" reduces non-tariff barriers
:02:58. > :02:59.like customs checks, in a way that narrower
:03:00. > :03:07.But remaining in the trading bloc is looking increasingly difficult.
:03:08. > :03:10.Last month, British Prime Minister Theresa May pledged to deliver
:03:11. > :03:14.'some' control on the free movement of people.
:03:15. > :03:17.But of course, this could risk breaching one of the key pillars
:03:18. > :03:28.But some people around the world, that is probably as clear as mud! We
:03:29. > :03:30.will explain. David Thomas, Executive Chairman
:03:31. > :03:41.of the Council of British Chambers Great to have you in the studio. Can
:03:42. > :03:47.we start for the uninitiated, if they are watching, they know the UK
:03:48. > :03:51.has chosen to leave the European Union and now there is talk of
:03:52. > :03:55.staying in the single market, can you explain the single market and
:03:56. > :03:58.what it means, the benefits? The single market is part of the
:03:59. > :04:03.European Union, part of the concept of the whole thing. It is the
:04:04. > :04:10.economic part of it. And you cannot remove economic from politics. What
:04:11. > :04:16.it does is allow businesses anywhere the EU to freely trade with one
:04:17. > :04:20.another without any barriers. And additional, if you like, controls
:04:21. > :04:24.like having to get another licence. It is a movement of goods, the
:04:25. > :04:28.movement of money and the movements of people, which I guess some would
:04:29. > :04:37.people. Still in uncharted territory people. Still in uncharted territory
:04:38. > :04:41.so just wondering, the UK can leave, it is leaving the European Union.
:04:42. > :04:46.Does it need to stay in the single market? Are they write about this
:04:47. > :04:52.for percent? I think the calculations are probably exactly
:04:53. > :04:57.correct. There is no reason to doubt the work the IFS has done, there is
:04:58. > :05:01.a big impact in leaving the single market. The issue is, from a
:05:02. > :05:08.negotiating point of view for the British government, how do you
:05:09. > :05:13.manage to maintain the maximum amount of the single market that you
:05:14. > :05:20.possibly can? And the fundamental point is that the financial sector
:05:21. > :05:26.in the rest of Europe just cannot manage to finance a European --
:05:27. > :05:32.European business, it is too small. And most of Europe's business is
:05:33. > :05:36.being financed in London anyway. So Europe, there is this talk about the
:05:37. > :05:41.UK missing out, Europe cannot afford not to be doing with the UK,
:05:42. > :05:45.especially London and its financial services? That is what business
:05:46. > :05:49.people understand, the issue is whether politicians understand it
:05:50. > :05:54.and whether the political desire to force a win from one side or the
:05:55. > :05:59.other is going to mess up the business side. And this is why we
:06:00. > :06:04.are very, very strong in our view that we need to bring European
:06:05. > :06:13.business into the game, if you want. You need to look... They are natural
:06:14. > :06:21.allies of the UK economy. And to get them to explain to their politicians
:06:22. > :06:25.how important it is to allow them to utilise the European... Sorry, the
:06:26. > :06:32.UK finance market to the maximum without barriers. So they need to be
:06:33. > :06:36.lobbying? Yes. And we have the network across Europe to provide
:06:37. > :06:40.that interface with European business and that is what we want.
:06:41. > :06:45.Good luck with that. We appreciate your time, David Tomas.

:08:55. > :08:56.Let's take a look round the world at what's business stories
:08:57. > :09:08.The energy giant aeon has made a loss because it wrote down the value
:09:09. > :09:14.of a loss-making power plant. The firm said that it is having to meet
:09:15. > :09:20.all sorts of obligations. So a ?3 billion Euro loss. Not good news
:09:21. > :09:25.from E.On. Shall we move on? I keep losing sound! Plenty of news around
:09:26. > :09:28.the business markets. UK oil giant BP is planning to sell
:09:29. > :09:31.one of its biggest Chinese investments near Shanghai, in a deal
:09:32. > :09:35.that could bring in $2-$3 billion. Sharanjit Leyl is in
:09:36. > :09:46.Singapore for us. Tell us more about the latest
:09:47. > :09:52.announcements from BP. Yes, they are trying to sell off this Chinese
:09:53. > :09:55.petrochemicals joint venture, their largest invention -- venture in
:09:56. > :10:01.China. It was a joint-venture between BP and estate owned
:10:02. > :10:08.business. BP is trying to cut off its 50% stake and they hope to fetch
:10:09. > :10:13.as much as 2 billion, $3 billion. This is not the only company looking
:10:14. > :10:20.to cut its investments in China. A lot of places relink and a lot of
:10:21. > :10:24.people saying China's slow liberalisation of its energy sector
:10:25. > :10:28.has disappointed investors. If BP sell it, they will not have made
:10:29. > :10:35.that much after investing ten years ago. It was built at a cost of ?2.7
:10:36. > :10:41.billion and a successful deal marks the company's first successful exit
:10:42. > :10:44.from a business in China. They have sold off $50 billion worth of assets
:10:45. > :10:49.into the Gulf of Mexico spill, paying clean-up costs and legal
:10:50. > :10:54.bills. Thank you so much from Singapore. Some BP taking action to
:10:55. > :10:57.boost its bottom line. And the energy companies have been losing
:10:58. > :11:04.ground on markets around the world, the oil price has fallen yet again.
:11:05. > :11:10.Not the best of days in Asia. But we have had a four Day rally in Asia.
:11:11. > :11:14.Japan hit an almost one-year high yesterday. So profit-taking going
:11:15. > :11:21.on. Let's look at Europe, a similar story. Let's not forget Germany
:11:22. > :11:25.yesterday closing at 2.5% higher. Down a touch today, nothing very
:11:26. > :11:29.dramatic. The losers are the energy companies with energy going down and
:11:30. > :11:32.a much weaker dollar which doesn't help companies around the world. We
:11:33. > :11:33.will talk more about that in a moment.
:11:34. > :11:38.And the details about what's ahead on Wall Street today.
:11:39. > :11:45.Wednesday will be about Wendy's, the fast-food burger chain which will
:11:46. > :11:49.report its earnings. The results come at a time of a slowdown in the
:11:50. > :11:53.fast-food industry. So investors will be eager to know how much of an
:11:54. > :12:00.impact the slowdown will have on its forecast, especially given rivals
:12:01. > :12:05.like McDonald's have given cuts to their outlooks for future quarters.
:12:06. > :12:10.We will hear from the luxury hand back maker Michael chorus. The
:12:11. > :12:13.company said it would offer more discounts to clear infantry at
:12:14. > :12:18.department stores and make changes to distribution and regain market
:12:19. > :12:24.share. But luxury retailers have been under pressure. Britain's vote
:12:25. > :12:30.to leave the EU and China's economic slowdown have rattled economic --
:12:31. > :12:33.International shoppers and increased online competition and a petition
:12:34. > :12:40.from counterfeiters is hitting luxury retail industry.
:12:41. > :12:48.Lauren, it is great to see you. It is August, quiet on the markets. But
:12:49. > :12:53.interesting, a number of things going on. The dollar has stepped
:12:54. > :12:58.because investors are thinking America's Central Bank is not going
:12:59. > :13:02.to be optimistic about rate rises. They said two rate rises this year.
:13:03. > :13:09.But the Asian markets are doing pretty good. Yes, we have got a
:13:10. > :13:12.pause in the US and Europe, partly around holiday season and partly
:13:13. > :13:16.because when there are not many people around, the economic data
:13:17. > :13:21.does not get pulled over as much as it does and Asia is following on the
:13:22. > :13:25.momentum from the US and Europe over the last weeks. It is an interesting
:13:26. > :13:29.time, the classic Summer market situation.
:13:30. > :13:33.Also, there is this thought in the market it will be quite a while
:13:34. > :13:37.before we see rates going up in the US and we have a much weaker dollar
:13:38. > :13:40.affecting markets like Japan. Yes, and there is often the theory the
:13:41. > :13:45.Federal Reserve in the States does not like to raise rates close to a
:13:46. > :13:50.US election. So November is the election. So we are ten, 12 weeks
:13:51. > :13:55.away from that. And the data is fine. They are cracking numbers,
:13:56. > :13:59.jobs numbers last Friday. And there is still concern about the fallout
:14:00. > :14:03.of white macro to the US, they do not talk about it as much as they
:14:04. > :14:08.did previously but it is still on their minds as it is in the UK --
:14:09. > :14:10.Brexit. We will discuss the papers later on, you will take us through
:14:11. > :14:13.those. We'll be meeting a woman who's

:14:16. > :14:18.including Madonna, David Beckham You're with Business
:14:19. > :14:29.Live from BBC News. In the last hour, the RMT union has
:14:30. > :14:34.announced that its members working on the Eurostar will take seven days
:14:35. > :14:37.of strike action this month. The union says it's
:14:38. > :14:48.over work-life balance. I was just wondering if the floor
:14:49. > :14:50.manager was going to make a sleek appearance?
:14:51. > :14:53.It's the third dispute to break out on the railways,
:14:54. > :14:56.with RMT members on Southern Railway on strike this week over
:14:57. > :15:01.The union has also announced a vote for action on Virgin Trains
:15:02. > :15:07.Simon Calder is Travel Editor of the Independent.
:15:08. > :15:19.Always good to see you. Lots of travel disruption this summer?
:15:20. > :15:22.Indeed. I have been speaking to the general secretary of the RMT union,
:15:23. > :15:25.which has called the strike on Eurostar, he says that we are
:15:26. > :15:31.frankly fed up and the fact that Southern Rail is on strike, in the
:15:32. > :15:34.middle of that, the East coast Virgin Trains staff have voted to
:15:35. > :15:40.strike and we now have a strike coming up on Friday, Saturday,
:15:41. > :15:45.Sunday, Monday and the last weekend of August, that is because the
:15:46. > :15:52.employers are simply not being fair. Let us look at the dispute, it was
:15:53. > :15:55.back to an agreement in 2008 over what the worklife balance should be
:15:56. > :16:01.and train staff on Eurostar which runs trains from London St Pancras
:16:02. > :16:06.to Paris and Brussels as well as Marseille and Disneyland, they have
:16:07. > :16:11.to work anti-social shifts, often staying abroad, which might sound
:16:12. > :16:16.like the greatest fun but it probably gets weary after a few
:16:17. > :16:20.years and they say that Eurostar are not respecting that. I have been
:16:21. > :16:23.trying to find out what Eurostar will propose for passengers and I
:16:24. > :16:28.have been unable to speak to anyone but what we think will happen is
:16:29. > :16:33.Eurostar will put a policy in place in the next hour or so saying if you
:16:34. > :16:38.are booked for travel you can postponed and perhaps get a refund
:16:39. > :16:43.and they will also say they hope to run the majority of trains. They
:16:44. > :16:48.have Belgian and French staff as well as British ones who are
:16:49. > :16:53.striking. Thank you so much for joining us. That is a very latest on
:16:54. > :16:54.that story. If you're planning to travel through Eurostar,
:16:55. > :17:04.please do check! The order of pepper pig is rejecting the ITV offer, more

:17:13. > :17:20.Using the single -- leaving the single market could cost us 4% of
:17:21. > :17:23.the GDP. But can negotiators keep us in the trading bloc whilst balancing
:17:24. > :17:30.the bands to control freedom of movement. Let us look at the
:17:31. > :17:34.markets. Traders heading the pause button on the recent rally, slight
:17:35. > :17:38.declines and nothing to be too concerned about. Heading towards the
:17:39. > :17:41.middle of August so many people are away. They are in the Riviera! That

:17:44. > :17:49.Company was founded here in London. Now it's gone global with franchises
:17:50. > :17:53.in the US and the Middle East. The woman behind the business

:18:02. > :18:04.for dignitaries and celebrities like Queen Elizabeth II,
:18:05. > :18:08.Madonna and David Beckham. Pierce Brosnan called her
:18:09. > :18:15.the Michelangelo of cakes. She originally trained as a food
:18:16. > :18:19.scientist and has been a consultant And as if that wasn't enough,
:18:20. > :18:37.she's also an author She has all sorts of other products,
:18:38. > :18:40.including... What don't you do? The idea is about giving people the
:18:41. > :18:49.opportunity to have their cake and eat it! Mich is here! Thank you for
:18:50. > :18:55.these wonderful cakes. How did we become this global company? Do you
:18:56. > :18:59.just love making cakes at home? When I was very young but I qualified as
:19:00. > :19:04.a food scientist and I worked for Harvey Nichols in the bakery and
:19:05. > :19:08.patisserie whilst fuelling my love for cakes but it is very much from a
:19:09. > :19:13.scientific point of view. I understand what is happening and use
:19:14. > :19:17.that technology and biochemistry to produce amazing cakes and
:19:18. > :19:25.breathtaking beauty. How do you leap from that idea to making cakes for
:19:26. > :19:28.the Queen? That does not happen overnight and it comes the huge
:19:29. > :19:32.amount of dedication and knowing where you want to be and taking
:19:33. > :19:37.steps to reach that. There has to be connection. It is about making sure
:19:38. > :19:43.you have a fantastic product and we always strive to have that complete,
:19:44. > :19:47.bespoke detail, hand craftsmanship with indulgent cakes so everything
:19:48. > :19:53.stands shoulder to shoulder in terms of the experience, whether you are
:19:54. > :19:57.learning, teaching, writing books, decorating, everything has to stand
:19:58. > :20:01.up to the quality but it is by word of mouth and London is a fantastic
:20:02. > :20:08.centre to fuel that because we have so much in the way of banqueting and
:20:09. > :20:14.hotels, which fuelled my career. Expansion. The US, Middle East. I
:20:15. > :20:21.wonder, do people in the Middle East, these are real? Yes! Do they
:20:22. > :20:25.like the same stuff? The franchise is in Kuwait servicing the Middle
:20:26. > :20:32.East and what they particularly like his to really sweet cakes, but added
:20:33. > :20:36.salted caramel and the more pottery and speed the better but they like
:20:37. > :20:40.them very small. Not let the Americans, it tends to be the
:20:41. > :20:46.bigger, the better. In Kuwait, it is dainty and delicate. What is it like
:20:47. > :20:53.doing business as a woman? That is how I felt. The market in Kuwait is
:20:54. > :20:57.very much about buying and selling and trading franchises so you will
:20:58. > :21:01.see British, American and French franchises in Kuwait, the ladies are
:21:02. > :21:06.liberal, they were beautiful clothes and drive and shop and they love to
:21:07. > :21:10.have sweet treats. When they have Mother's Day, they will buy for each
:21:11. > :21:15.other's mothers and sisters and cousins and the girls shop together
:21:16. > :21:19.and the wedding is over there are phenomenal. Our first wedding cake
:21:20. > :21:24.in Kuwait was over eight feet tall and weighed over 200 kilos. How do
:21:25. > :21:30.you manage the quality with people making cakes for you? A bad one can
:21:31. > :21:35.ruin the reputation? The training we have in Kuwait, we have a kitchen
:21:36. > :21:39.that is part of the franchising network, we have eight full-time
:21:40. > :21:46.staff members and we train them twice a year and we conduct lots of
:21:47. > :21:53.consultations through Skype. And a lot of videos coming to and from
:21:54. > :21:57.them. What are you looking for in the cake maker? And attention to
:21:58. > :22:02.detail, that flawless attention to detail. Quality, refinement,
:22:03. > :22:08.understanding technology and putting together a really fundamentally
:22:09. > :22:15.great cake, beautifully decorated. Can I ask the price? What will that
:22:16. > :22:22.set you back? In this country about ?1500. In Kuwait, it can go up to
:22:23. > :22:30.around ?60,000. The most expensive one I made was ?24,000. My goodness!
:22:31. > :22:36.For the president of Nigeria! How do you price a cake? Says is the big
:22:37. > :22:41.thing and the amount of intricacy and work that goes into it and the
:22:42. > :22:47.attention. I have a lot of books. You are very global! These are all
:22:48. > :22:54.from different languages. Different countries. You are all over the
:22:55. > :23:02.world! Great to have you on the programme, Mich. You've had a lot of
:23:03. > :23:16.sugar this morning! Know I haven't! I will read, he is eating.
:23:17. > :23:24.Here's how to keep in touch. There will be up moments, you did the
:23:25. > :23:33.conviction of knowing what you are doing. My second piece of advice is
:23:34. > :23:36.to ask for help because it is extraordinary how generous people
:23:37. > :23:42.are and how much they seek to the beginning. And don't be shy. Try to

:26:44. > :26:47.at the very least there are some spots of rain on the way. Let's look
:26:48. > :26:52.at the South, Wednesday afternoon and across the South West and Wales,
:26:53. > :26:57.cloudy with rain before Southern counties, the South and East Anglia

:27:05. > :27:10.Ireland and western Scotland, overcast. And temperatures only
:27:11. > :27:13.around 14 or 15 degrees. The rain will turn heavy over the next few
:27:14. > :27:20.days across western parts of Scotland. This coming night,
:27:21. > :27:26.rainfall mostly across northern and eastern areas, the South staying dry
:27:27. > :27:29.from London, Portsmouth, into Plymouth and wherever you are
:27:30. > :27:32.tonight it will be mild compared to the last couple of nights. Thursday,
:27:33. > :27:36.high pressure in charge for the south-west but weather fronts in the
:27:37. > :27:40.North so it will be raining from Scotland to parts of northern
:27:41. > :27:43.England, possibly into East Anglia as well with thicker cloud before
:27:44. > :27:47.the Sutherland south-western areas, we anticipate plenty of bright

:28:19. > :28:23.and East Anglia, if anything, turning even sunnier and warming up
:28:24. > :28:27.with this air coming up. And things are set to warm up further as we go
:28:28. > :28:30.through Saturday and into Sunday. You can initially be a fair amount
:28:31. > :28:35.of cloud around and spots of rain but we will be heading the mid-20s,
:28:36. > :28:38.particularly across southern areas and Sunday look similar. Sunshine in
:28:39. > :28:44.the forecast for the weekend but rain also, particularly for northern
:28:45. > :29:23.areas but for much of the country it is going to stay dry.
