All change in the Eurozone for those in the top jobs, | :00:15. | :00:18. | |
but will Angela Merkel buck the trend? | :00:19. | :00:20. | |
We assess her chances of another term as Chancellor and what that | :00:21. | :00:25. | |
Also in the programme, are these the President's men? | :00:26. | :00:31. | |
Some of the biggest names in South Korean business | :00:32. | :00:33. | |
were grilled by politicians on live television about whether they got | :00:34. | :00:36. | |
And, are we about to experience the Santa rally or not? | :00:37. | :00:43. | |
Certainly in the US we saw another record close. | :00:44. | :00:46. | |
Market veteran David Buik is here to share his wisdom. | :00:47. | :00:52. | |
We'll meet the firm that's keeping business, government, | :00:53. | :00:56. | |
But with outsourcing in the spotlight, what role should | :00:57. | :01:01. | |
the private sector play in our public institutions? | :01:02. | :01:05. | |
And as internet giant Amazon gets into the supermarket business, | :01:06. | :01:10. | |
it's removing the checkout from stores and using | :01:11. | :01:12. | |
a computer to keep track of what's in your trolley. | :01:13. | :01:15. | |
But let us know, do you trust tech to tot up your bill? | :01:16. | :01:18. | |
Would you trust an entirely automatic supermarket? | :01:19. | :01:20. | |
Artificial intelligence may be better in this job! Over shopping | :01:21. | :01:41. | |
could be an issue. Send us your thoughts. | :01:42. | :01:43. | |
In the next few hours the German Chancellor Angela Merkel | :01:44. | :01:49. | |
is due to take another step to trying to steer Europe | :01:50. | :01:53. | |
through yet another year of change as she seeks another term as leader | :01:54. | :01:56. | |
2016 has seen upheaval across the continent, | :01:57. | :02:01. | |
with Britain's decision to leave the European Union forcing | :02:02. | :02:05. | |
Other world leaders being replaced include Barack Obama | :02:06. | :02:11. | |
And yesterday, Italy's Matteo Renzi handed in his resignation | :02:12. | :02:17. | |
So can Mrs Merkel stem the flow and win another term leading | :02:18. | :02:21. | |
Prosperity may be key to defeating the populist message | :02:22. | :02:26. | |
Germany is viewed by many as the engine room of the Eurozone. | :02:27. | :02:34. | |
But the latest data shows its economy has | :02:35. | :02:36. | |
been underperforming, with growth halving to just 0.2% | :02:37. | :02:40. | |
Exports are critical, accounting for around 47% | :02:41. | :02:45. | |
of all economic activity, and there are concerns poor economic | :02:46. | :02:48. | |
performance could be exacerbated by the Brexit vote. | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
The United Kingdom is Germany's third-biggest trading partner | :02:53. | :02:59. | |
and there are fears this relationship could suffer when | :03:00. | :03:01. | |
Despite this, Germany has benefited from a flood of cheap money | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
as the European Central Bank continues its landmark | :03:06. | :03:07. | |
$1.9 trillion stimulus package across the Eurozone. | :03:08. | :03:11. | |
This has boosted German exporters by keeping | :03:12. | :03:14. | |
With me is David Owen, who is the chief European economist | :03:15. | :03:23. | |
Let's delve down into what Germany is doing. They are the powerhouse | :03:24. | :03:41. | |
economy, I am interested in what role it will play in a blue Europe, | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
because we are seeing all of this change, where does Germany sit? It | :03:46. | :03:51. | |
has been the reluctant leader. You go back to the beginning of the | :03:52. | :03:54. | |
European project, it was a French/ German axis, and now Germany has | :03:55. | :04:00. | |
become the leader. It is a reluctant leader. The ECB reference this. What | :04:01. | :04:07. | |
is required in Germany and countries like the Netherlands, which have | :04:08. | :04:13. | |
so-called fiscal space, is a major fiscal expansion, which would help | :04:14. | :04:20. | |
everybody, including German boats. There is a debate about whether the | :04:21. | :04:24. | |
ECB is doing enough, and whether Germany is contributing in terms of | :04:25. | :04:29. | |
the balance of power. We have seen a rise in populism, away from the | :04:30. | :04:32. | |
establishment, what role does the ECB have? They are trying to keep | :04:33. | :04:38. | |
the whole thing afloat. If you go back to 2012 the project was in | :04:39. | :04:43. | |
danger of breaking up. The ECB stepped in. You could argue they | :04:44. | :04:48. | |
should have stepped in in 2011. But when they got there, they got there, | :04:49. | :04:54. | |
and they are doing all they can. It is up to other countries, | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
politicians, to take more of a lead on the fiscal side, countries like | :04:59. | :05:02. | |
Germany, on the structural side, countries like France. The ECB has | :05:03. | :05:07. | |
argued they should complete the project for the political union. | :05:08. | :05:14. | |
That should not happen post the financial crisis, because there is | :05:15. | :05:18. | |
this backlash, but what they do need is a much stronger Eurozone economy, | :05:19. | :05:22. | |
which requires more action from Germany on the fiscal side, that | :05:23. | :05:26. | |
will not happen. Is there a gap between France and Germany? There is | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
not enough structural reform in France. It is needed, it has long | :05:31. | :05:39. | |
been needed, and in Italy. The problem is it takes years to bear | :05:40. | :05:44. | |
fruit. They initially create lots of losers, so you need a strong growing | :05:45. | :05:49. | |
economy to push it through, and that is why you need a fiscal response in | :05:50. | :05:52. | |
countries with the fiscal space, including Germany. | :05:53. | :05:59. | |
Amazon has revealed plans for a grocery shop without a checkout, | :06:00. | :06:03. | |
where customers will instead pay for the goods they have | :06:04. | :06:05. | |
The Just Walk Out shopping experience uses the same types | :06:06. | :06:10. | |
of technologies found in self-driving cars. | :06:11. | :06:13. | |
The system detects when items are taken or returned | :06:14. | :06:15. | |
to shelves and tracks them in a virtual shopping trolley. | :06:16. | :06:18. | |
Once the shopper leaves the store, their account will be charged | :06:19. | :06:22. | |
The first shop is due to open in the US early next year. | :06:23. | :06:34. | |
What did you think? Send us your thoughts. | :06:35. | :06:36. | |
Facebook, Microsoft, Twitter and YouTube are collaborating | :06:37. | :06:38. | |
to stop violent extremist images and video being spread | :06:39. | :06:40. | |
The four tech firms plan to create a database that contains "digital | :06:41. | :06:44. | |
The database will be used to screen uploads in order to spot violent | :06:45. | :06:49. | |
or extremist material before it is shared. | :06:50. | :06:57. | |
Some of South Korea's biggest businesses have been questioned | :06:58. | :07:02. | |
in a rare televised hearing as part of a huge corruption inquiry. | :07:03. | :07:06. | |
Samsung, Hyundai Motors and six other firms face accusations | :07:07. | :07:10. | |
they gave millions of dollars to funds linked to the country's | :07:11. | :07:14. | |
She faces impeachment proceedings in relation to the scandal. | :07:15. | :07:30. | |
It is a fascinating debate, a televised discussion, giving | :07:31. | :07:35. | |
evidence about widespread potential corruption. These people do not come | :07:36. | :07:42. | |
out in public, they never give interviews, they live in that world | :07:43. | :07:49. | |
of power and money, hyper money, behind the great glass of black | :07:50. | :07:54. | |
limousines. Just to have them dragooned into Parliament to answer | :07:55. | :07:57. | |
some very tough questions was a spectacle in itself, spectacle is | :07:58. | :08:03. | |
the right word, the photographers were allowed to stay in and they | :08:04. | :08:05. | |
were on their ladders in the assembly room, training and snapping | :08:06. | :08:10. | |
and clicking away throughout the proceedings. It was bizarre. You had | :08:11. | :08:18. | |
the eight most powerful men in South Korea answering questions about | :08:19. | :08:23. | |
whether it was corrupt payments to these funds controlled by a friend | :08:24. | :08:27. | |
of the President. What is expected next on this? And the impeachment on | :08:28. | :08:35. | |
Friday? We will get the vote on impeachment on Friday. The president | :08:36. | :08:40. | |
has indicated she is not going easily. It is not completely clear | :08:41. | :08:43. | |
that the opposition will get the numbers on Friday. The likelihood is | :08:44. | :08:50. | |
that the thing drags on and we get bigger and bigger demonstrations | :08:51. | :08:51. | |
every Saturday. An interesting story, but it has no | :08:52. | :09:09. | |
impact on the markets. A lot of it is to do with what is happening at | :09:10. | :09:14. | |
the United States, the Dow closing on a record high again, the market | :09:15. | :09:19. | |
is throwing off the impact of the Italian turmoil. A mixed picture in | :09:20. | :09:24. | |
Europe, Google talk about Europe in a moment. First, what is ahead on | :09:25. | :09:27. | |
Wall Street. How is the housing | :09:28. | :09:28. | |
market doing in the US? We get an idea when the luxury-home | :09:29. | :09:31. | |
builder Toll Brothers reports. They are expected to report a rise | :09:32. | :09:35. | |
in revenue and profit That has been boosted | :09:36. | :09:38. | |
by higher home sales. The improving job market | :09:39. | :09:43. | |
and a healthy economy We are also expecting some | :09:44. | :09:45. | |
economic data on Tuesday. The Commerce Department will tell us | :09:46. | :09:52. | |
about factory orders for October. New orders for American factory | :09:53. | :09:57. | |
goods are expected to have risen by 2.6% in October after adding just | :09:58. | :10:00. | |
0.3% in September. The trade deficit is | :10:01. | :10:07. | |
expected to have risen That is compared to a deficit | :10:08. | :10:10. | |
of 36.4 billion in September. The trade deficit refers to how much | :10:11. | :10:19. | |
the US imports versus exports. Joining us is David Buik, | :10:20. | :10:31. | |
market analyst, Panmure Gordon. Wasn't that a wonderful skyline. | :10:32. | :10:48. | |
Speaking of twinkly lights, lots of Christmas trees, we are allowed to | :10:49. | :10:51. | |
start talking about a Santa rally, what might it be and why is it not | :10:52. | :10:57. | |
happening yet? We have had it. The Donald Trump rally. That was the | :10:58. | :11:05. | |
relief rally, that he would cut corporation tax and the | :11:06. | :11:13. | |
infrastructure spending. But a lot of sectors took heart from that. | :11:14. | :11:20. | |
record, 10.7% up on the year, having record, 10.7% up on the year, having | :11:21. | :11:27. | |
had a pull back just before, around the time of Brexit and the rest of | :11:28. | :11:32. | |
it. We have covered the Italian referendum, it has already been | :11:33. | :11:35. | |
priced in, because the markets dipped away. This is something that | :11:36. | :11:41. | |
has been dismissed ridiculously easily, because they have a serious | :11:42. | :11:47. | |
problem. If cat does not come in, they will struggle to persuade many | :11:48. | :11:52. | |
of their millions of bondholders to take a real caching on their bonds | :11:53. | :11:58. | |
and convert them into dodgy equity. European banks looking to the Middle | :11:59. | :12:06. | |
East for help. Yes, but Italy is light on fresh capital, the whole | :12:07. | :12:11. | |
area of Europe is 300 billion light. People are not like sheep, they need | :12:12. | :12:15. | |
a good story told to them why should I step up to the plate and invest? | :12:16. | :12:20. | |
You have to give me a good reason. You could see the Deutsche Bank | :12:21. | :12:25. | |
story, the share price went down. That is a serious bank that has got | :12:26. | :12:32. | |
tentacles all over the world, however many bad assets it has, but | :12:33. | :12:37. | |
you have to give somebody a story. Whoever replaces Matteo Renzi will | :12:38. | :12:40. | |
not have that story to be able to sell. We will watch closely. | :12:41. | :12:43. | |
Later in the programme we'll get the Inside Track | :12:44. | :12:47. | |
on what it takes to keep our local governments online. | :12:48. | :12:52. | |
You're with Business Live from BBC News. | :12:53. | :12:57. | |
Big changes to the way England's railways are run could be unveiled | :12:58. | :13:00. | |
later by Transport Secretary Chris Grayling. | :13:01. | :13:04. | |
He wants each rail franchise to be run by joint management teams, | :13:05. | :13:07. | |
including representatives from both the train-operating | :13:08. | :13:09. | |
Theo Leggett is in our Business Newsroom. | :13:10. | :13:21. | |
It is quite a reversal of what we heard about the break-up. It is an | :13:22. | :13:31. | |
ideological change. In the mid-90s, when British rail was privatised, we | :13:32. | :13:34. | |
had train operating companies which were responsible for operating the | :13:35. | :13:39. | |
trains and the responsibility for looking after the track and the | :13:40. | :13:41. | |
signalling and that was initially passed onto Railtrack and later got | :13:42. | :13:47. | |
taken over by Network Rail. At the time the idea was that it is better | :13:48. | :13:51. | |
to have a separate infrastructure operator, so that if you have got | :13:52. | :13:55. | |
different train companies competing to operate services on the same | :13:56. | :13:59. | |
line, there is no conflict of interest, it is not one of them | :14:00. | :14:03. | |
having responsibility for the track, but the pub that people have | :14:04. | :14:08. | |
identified is there is a lack of coordination between them, and | :14:09. | :14:11. | |
sometimes they are arguing over who is responsible for delays. Chris | :14:12. | :14:18. | |
Grayling says Network Rail is too monolithic, too big, not interested | :14:19. | :14:22. | |
in what goes on at a local level, so he wants responsible people running | :14:23. | :14:25. | |
each franchise to be joined up tween the train operating company and | :14:26. | :14:31. | |
Network Rail, so they have a shared incentive to work together. Will | :14:32. | :14:34. | |
passengers notice a big difference? That depends if the system works. If | :14:35. | :14:40. | |
there is better coordination and if delays are looked after, if they are | :14:41. | :14:45. | |
reduced, if the site work together, has just probably will notice a | :14:46. | :14:48. | |
difference. We carry on, they will not. | :14:49. | :14:57. | |
Do take a look at our website, there are many other stories on their | :14:58. | :14:58. | |
today. Various things going on. More on the coverage. Let me take | :14:59. | :15:09. | |
you to the website. We're going to have a look at everything that's on | :15:10. | :15:12. | |
there and you will see the Business Live page updated throughout the | :15:13. | :15:15. | |
day. All you need to know related to what we'll hear from the Transport | :15:16. | :15:21. | |
Secretary, Chris Grayling. The story is about spread bet betters. They | :15:22. | :15:25. | |
are really dragging down the FTSE 250. | :15:26. | :15:32. | |
They're pulling down the markets the small early medium sized companies | :15:33. | :15:34. | |
the FTSE 250. Our top story, Germany's Angela | :15:35. | :15:36. | |
Merkel is seeking another term as head of her CDU party | :15:37. | :15:41. | |
as financial markets look for signs She is talking to her party today. | :15:42. | :15:43. | |
It is a critical speech for her. A quick look at how | :15:44. | :15:53. | |
markets are faring. No sign of that rally as we approach | :15:54. | :16:01. | |
the Christmas holidays for the markets. The traders are expected to | :16:02. | :16:05. | |
get an early break. Normally about this time of year we would see | :16:06. | :16:10. | |
markets ticking up a bit ahead of the extended holiday. No sign of | :16:11. | :16:15. | |
that. Santa is not on his way! Don't say that for anyone listening. | :16:16. | :16:18. | |
He is coming later. He is coming. Now, think of the word "outsourcing" | :16:19. | :16:28. | |
and what image does it conjure up? Good for cutting costs | :16:29. | :16:31. | |
and improving efficiency, or endless call centres | :16:32. | :16:32. | |
and poor service? It probably depends whether you're | :16:33. | :16:34. | |
a customer or a business. But our next guest | :16:35. | :16:36. | |
says that is changing. Civica, has its HQ in the UK, | :16:37. | :16:38. | |
but operates in 30 different locations around the world including | :16:39. | :16:41. | |
Australia, New Zealand, It focuses on local government, | :16:42. | :16:43. | |
libraries, schools and hospitals. It works with 900 government | :16:44. | :16:50. | |
organisations around Its aim is to provide | :16:51. | :17:01. | |
the technology, software and services needed to help | :17:02. | :17:11. | |
local government That's the theory but what does | :17:12. | :17:13. | |
it take to make sure Wayne Story is the Chief | :17:14. | :17:16. | |
Executive of Civica. I'm interested in the debate we | :17:17. | :17:22. | |
raised in the introduction in the role that private sector businesses | :17:23. | :17:27. | |
play in the public sector. It is fair to say as soon as you hear the | :17:28. | :17:31. | |
words outsourcing, you think it will take me forever to get through on | :17:32. | :17:34. | |
the phone and something will go wrong and the organisation that | :17:35. | :17:37. | |
you're dealing with, blames it on somebody else, is that a fair | :17:38. | :17:39. | |
assessment? That's an unfair assessment. Look, we're a technology | :17:40. | :17:45. | |
company and our role in working with organisations is to support them. | :17:46. | :17:50. | |
We're going through unprecedented change in Local Government, national | :17:51. | :17:53. | |
Government, the public services, and private sector. What we do is | :17:54. | :17:57. | |
support organisations and take them on a journey. We don't focus on | :17:58. | :18:03. | |
outsourcing per se, we are about technology, about digital | :18:04. | :18:07. | |
transformation and outsourcing. Digital transformation will over | :18:08. | :18:11. | |
time support organisations to improve their interactions with the | :18:12. | :18:14. | |
customers and from our prospective it is a great way for a back office | :18:15. | :18:19. | |
and a front office and a customer, or a citizen, to be able to interact | :18:20. | :18:24. | |
and it is a really exciting time. I know here in the UK and you | :18:25. | :18:27. | |
operate in many countries around the world, but certainly in the UK, when | :18:28. | :18:33. | |
we talk about the public sector outsourcing elements especially | :18:34. | :18:36. | |
technology, everybody just assumes disaster ensues and some technology | :18:37. | :18:38. | |
firm is just cashing in all the money from the NHS, but not really | :18:39. | :18:43. | |
making it work, you know, as a user, as a patient, you find no one is | :18:44. | :18:46. | |
talking to each other, your information is all over the shop and | :18:47. | :18:50. | |
may not be secure. We're cynical about it. How do you change our mind | :18:51. | :18:56. | |
on that? There has been so many disaster stories? We work typically | :18:57. | :19:03. | |
with trusts, health authorities, care home groups, etcetera, | :19:04. | :19:06. | |
etcetera, the innovation that's happening in the NHS is huge and of | :19:07. | :19:10. | |
course, because it is such a big organisation, it happens in lots of | :19:11. | :19:14. | |
different places. We tend to work at a local level where we are starting | :19:15. | :19:19. | |
to see digital transformation come through, a lot more connection of | :19:20. | :19:24. | |
records and a lot more electronic information happening and it is a | :19:25. | :19:28. | |
long journey. This is a big organisation with lots of demands on | :19:29. | :19:32. | |
it, and what we're finding there is innovation and we are right at the | :19:33. | :19:36. | |
front of that and we see it as being a great opportunity to continue. It | :19:37. | :19:40. | |
is easy for us to think that all of this should be really simple, | :19:41. | :19:43. | |
putting records online and being able to access it. We take it for | :19:44. | :19:47. | |
granted. What's in it for the businesses? It is clearly a huge | :19:48. | :19:50. | |
challenge. It involves getting you guys involved to do this. What's in | :19:51. | :19:55. | |
it apart from just cutting costs? It is about being able to access | :19:56. | :19:58. | |
information as you said. Security is a big part of this. So paper records | :19:59. | :20:04. | |
are not as secure electronic records, having information at the | :20:05. | :20:08. | |
fingertip, automatication, a big part of what needs to go on is to | :20:09. | :20:12. | |
automate things, not because it is cheaper, but it makes that | :20:13. | :20:17. | |
engagement much better. It is getting the head count down in these | :20:18. | :20:25. | |
Local Governments and organisations because community and technology is | :20:26. | :20:28. | |
doing jobs that humans used to do. It is not just the public sector. | :20:29. | :20:32. | |
Most organisations are in transformation. They want to get | :20:33. | :20:36. | |
into more digital way of operating, where they can use technology to | :20:37. | :20:42. | |
drive better efficiencies, do things quicker, faster, as we all expect | :20:43. | :20:47. | |
and by doing that, of course, automate things. There is a | :20:48. | :20:50. | |
consequence, there are some people who are displaced, but in many | :20:51. | :20:56. | |
organisations they transfer more sfrtion to the front line, surely | :20:57. | :20:59. | |
that's what we're looking for. Wayne, thank you. Best of luck with | :21:00. | :21:00. | |
it. Wayne Story there. China's streets were once | :21:01. | :21:04. | |
dominated by the push bike. But two young entrepreneurs | :21:05. | :21:07. | |
are hoping to change that but persuading some | :21:08. | :21:10. | |
of their country's most powerful tech giants to invest millions | :21:11. | :21:12. | |
of yuan into bike hire schemes. Both of these start-ups have | :21:13. | :21:23. | |
drawn huge investment In the case of Mobike it is ten cent | :21:24. | :21:24. | |
which runs the social media app This company has received a cash | :21:25. | :21:33. | |
injection from a taxi hailing app. If I can hire this bike out | :21:34. | :21:52. | |
for 30 cents an hour, you imagine that's an awful lot | :21:53. | :21:55. | |
of rentals for these companies I have arrived at Mobike's Beijing | :21:56. | :21:58. | |
headquarters and spoke to the company's founder | :21:59. | :22:03. | |
about their plans. For these companies to succeed, | :22:04. | :22:15. | |
they're counting on their cool looking steeds making push bike | :22:16. | :22:21. | |
riding hip amongst China's It could even be the car | :22:22. | :22:24. | |
which is the reason for their success because sometimes | :22:25. | :22:31. | |
this is the only way to get around He should have a helmet on. Did he | :22:32. | :22:52. | |
do a risk assessment. Dominic is here. | :22:53. | :22:57. | |
We have been talking about the new shopping experience Amazon is | :22:58. | :23:04. | |
testing out. What happens in the States in Amazon comes here. Amazon | :23:05. | :23:09. | |
is building a giant fresh food warehouse on the outskirts of London | :23:10. | :23:13. | |
and it will be a really big competitor to the likes of Tesco's, | :23:14. | :23:17. | |
Sainsbury's and Asda. Life is hard enough for those companies as it is, | :23:18. | :23:21. | |
it is going to get a lot harder when Amazon comes in. Amazon has a | :23:22. | :23:26. | |
history of getting 20% market share in any sector in chooses. The tough | :23:27. | :23:33. | |
element, we have been asking people and thank you for your messages. | :23:34. | :23:40. | |
Russell says it removes more jobs for people in the process. That's | :23:41. | :23:46. | |
not necessarily new. Another viewer says higher unemployment. Rob says, | :23:47. | :23:50. | |
"It opens the door to more cybercrime. Could someone steal your | :23:51. | :23:55. | |
bar code?" Michael says, "I trust the computer more than a human." | :23:56. | :24:01. | |
That's the issue, it is a challenge for the retailers to keep catching | :24:02. | :24:05. | |
up, but Amazon is a big player in groceries. Not in the k. The Amazon | :24:06. | :24:11. | |
Fresh service in the US has not been the success they hoped. Wal-Mart are | :24:12. | :24:18. | |
trying to catch up and it is racing to catch Amazon, but it is coming. | :24:19. | :24:24. | |
Now clicks and head to the bricks? Do your clicks and go to the bricks. | :24:25. | :24:28. | |
They will have 2,000 stores in America. That's pretty big. | :24:29. | :24:33. | |
Let's talk about Brexit once again. This is in the FT, Hammond and Davis | :24:34. | :24:38. | |
promise City a smooth and orderly Brexit. We've heard Brexit described | :24:39. | :24:42. | |
as all sorts of things, but smooth and orderly is probably not one of | :24:43. | :24:48. | |
them! Everyone has been talking about manufacturing and the highest | :24:49. | :24:52. | |
profile case is Nissan which made noises and got a special deal. Well, | :24:53. | :24:57. | |
they haven't got it? We don't know the details of what was agreed, but | :24:58. | :25:00. | |
they pledged to continue in the north-east. The city is a giant tax | :25:01. | :25:08. | |
centre. Nobody talks about the threat to the City from Brexit or | :25:09. | :25:12. | |
what they have said is confusing and difficult. The City finds it hard to | :25:13. | :25:16. | |
speak. There has been some speeches, but they want things the way it is. | :25:17. | :25:19. | |
That's unlikely to continue, I don't think. | :25:20. | :25:22. | |
Watch this space. Dominic nice to see you. Thank you. | :25:23. | :25:25. | |
That's it from us today. I'm here tomorrow. I will be more on the ball | :25:26. | :25:30. | |
tomorrow, I promise. We hope! See you soon. Bye-bye. | :25:31. | :25:40. | |
Good morning. Before milder weather spills across the whole of the | :25:41. | :25:46. | |
country, today is very much transition day. We have had frost | :25:47. | :25:49. | |
around this morning and we've got fog around too. Now, we started off | :25:50. | :25:55. | |
with temperatures typically about minus five Celsius across northern | :25:56. | :25:56. |
