0:00:00 > 0:00:02This is Business Live from BBC News with Sally Bundock and Ben Thompson.

0:00:03 > 0:00:09A number of uses on the table as we assess Switzerland and the EU

0:00:09 > 0:00:19squaring up over cash.

0:00:27 > 0:00:31Very warm welcome to the programme. We are at the mercy of the robots

0:00:31 > 0:00:36today with a few glitches! Will talk you through what's coming up on

0:00:36 > 0:00:40Business Live. In Switzerland Jean-Claude Juncker will be holding

0:00:40 > 0:00:48talks with the government, that's coming up. Also as well in the

0:00:48 > 0:00:53programme, more Japanese companies seem to be accused of cheating. This

0:00:53 > 0:00:56time Mitsubishi Materials is in the limelight for the wrong reasons. And

0:00:56 > 0:01:00for the markets today it will be quieter with it being the

0:01:00 > 0:01:04Thanksgiving holiday break in the USA. Yet Europe is open and training

0:01:04 > 0:01:08and as you can see the markets are all headed south. And we meet the

0:01:08 > 0:01:13man who revived an iconic brand, the Royal Enfield motorbike, as it

0:01:13 > 0:01:26returns to the UK for the first time since

0:01:28 > 0:01:31the 1950s. We will find out what has driven that decision. And as holiday

0:01:31 > 0:01:33shopping season begins is your budget squeezed, are you planning on

0:01:33 > 0:01:36spending more or less or just cutting back on Christmas. Let us

0:01:36 > 0:01:46no, using our hashtag, #bizlive. A very warm welcome to the programme.

0:01:46 > 0:01:51We live, this is Business Live. I think we have our technical problems

0:01:51 > 0:01:55sorted now so let's begin in Switzerland. European Commission

0:01:55 > 0:01:58President Jean-Claude Juncker will be holding talks very soon with the

0:01:58 > 0:02:05government. About trying to get the strained EU - Swiss relations back

0:02:05 > 0:02:09on track. The talks are being closely watched in the UK not least

0:02:09 > 0:02:13because Switzerland is held up by some as a model for post-Brexit

0:02:13 > 0:02:19Britain. Not in the EU yet enjoying close trade ties all the same. When

0:02:19 > 0:02:25it comes to the issues, the big ones are very familiar. Money. That's one

0:02:25 > 0:02:29of the key issues. The Swiss are due to pay another 1 billion francs,

0:02:29 > 0:02:34that's around 1 billion US dollars to the EU's cohesion fund. That

0:02:34 > 0:02:39supports newer members in Central and Eastern Europe. It is a sticking

0:02:39 > 0:02:43point. Another familiar one. This issue has been on hold since

0:02:43 > 0:02:48February 20 14th when this was narrowly voted, in a referendum, to

0:02:48 > 0:02:54bring back quarters for the number of EU workers that they let in. --

0:02:54 > 0:02:58quotas. Some see this as a test case for Brexit. That can Switzerland get

0:02:58 > 0:03:05the benefits of trade with the EU, that is, access to the single

0:03:05 > 0:03:10market, while still controlling its borders? Many people see it that way

0:03:10 > 0:03:15although not Jean-Claude Juncker. He calls it a Swiss specific situation.

0:03:15 > 0:03:20He said last year any deal reached with Switzerland would not be a

0:03:20 > 0:03:26blueprint for the UK. Ben, overdue. Thank you. Let's speak to image and

0:03:26 > 0:03:37folks who joins us from Burma.

0:03:39 > 0:03:43Imogen we heard this would not be a blueprint for the UK but there are

0:03:43 > 0:03:49similarities.Yes, but some differences as well. We know that

0:03:49 > 0:03:57this was narrowly voted to introduce quotas on EU migrants in 2014. After

0:03:57 > 0:04:02that the EU put Switzerland's bilateral deals, very important to

0:04:02 > 0:04:07the Swiss economy, on hold. Since then the Swiss have found a

0:04:07 > 0:04:11compromise, which would mean introducing quotas only in certain

0:04:11 > 0:04:13sectors and only if unemployment reaches levels that it has not

0:04:13 > 0:04:20reached in Switzerland for decades. So Switzerland 's commitment to free

0:04:20 > 0:04:23movement of people remains unchanged. That is something that

0:04:23 > 0:04:26voters in Britain who wanted Brexit. Want any more. So there's the

0:04:26 > 0:04:34difference. In terms of payment, in 2006, this was, in a referendum,

0:04:34 > 0:04:41voted in favour of 1 billion francs, $1 billion, to the EU, what was then

0:04:41 > 0:04:46the enlargement fund. Now it is the cohesion fund. And it looks as if

0:04:46 > 0:04:50this was government is ready to pay up again to preserve what it sees as

0:04:50 > 0:04:55the most crucial thing for Switzerland and that is the trade.

0:04:55 > 0:05:00More than half its exports go to the EU. It can't have tariffs. And once

0:05:00 > 0:05:07the single market. It doesn't want WTO rules. So differences with

0:05:07 > 0:05:14Britain -- it wants the single market.What is interesting Imogen

0:05:14 > 0:05:18is that very concept, if you want some of the nice things like a

0:05:18 > 0:05:21free-trade area or a customs union and you want to do business with us

0:05:21 > 0:05:27you will have to pay a bit, that's what the Swiss have found.Yes,

0:05:27 > 0:05:31there is a price tag attached. Switzerland contributes to many EU

0:05:31 > 0:05:36programmes. It wants access to things like scientific research,

0:05:36 > 0:05:41creative Europe, which is coming, it wants access to all those things and

0:05:41 > 0:05:47it knows it will have to contribute. It thinks it gets more out in terms

0:05:47 > 0:05:53of its good trade deals with the EU yet there are sticking points. The

0:05:53 > 0:05:58right wing party which proposed the quotas are used this donation of 1

0:05:58 > 0:06:05billion francs to the new EU states is blackmail. There will be problems

0:06:05 > 0:06:09getting it, but ducks as of this was government will promise it to

0:06:09 > 0:06:13Jean-Claude Junker today. Interesting times, thank you, Imogen

0:06:13 > 0:06:19in Burma. No other stories making the news.

0:06:19 > 0:06:21Foxconn, a main supplier for Apple's iPhone, says it has now stopped

0:06:21 > 0:06:24interns from working illegal overtime at its factory in China.

0:06:24 > 0:06:27It comes after a Financial Times report found at least six students

0:06:27 > 0:06:30worked 11-hour days at its iPhone Ten plant in Henan province.

0:06:30 > 0:06:33The US Federal Reserve looks set to raise interest

0:06:33 > 0:06:34rates again next month.

0:06:34 > 0:06:41Minutes of its last meeting showed a majority of committee members

0:06:41 > 0:06:43saw the need for a rise in the "near term".

0:06:43 > 0:06:46That's despite concerns about the weak level of inflation

0:06:46 > 0:06:52which has been below the Fed's 2% target for years.

0:06:52 > 0:06:54The taxi app Uber is now facing investigations in Italy,

0:06:54 > 0:06:59the Netherlands and in the UK.

0:06:59 > 0:07:01Uber failed to disclose a hacking attack last year

0:07:01 > 0:07:04where personal data from 57 million customers and drivers was stolen -

0:07:04 > 0:07:06and that it had then paid-off the hackers.

0:07:06 > 0:07:08The UK regulator has said that the incident

0:07:08 > 0:07:17raises 'huge concerns".

0:07:17 > 0:07:22Now to Asia, there could be more damage to the reputation of Asian

0:07:22 > 0:07:25manufacturing after one company was found to have been falsifying

0:07:25 > 0:07:27quality data figures.

0:07:27 > 0:07:30Today, reports say a division of Mitsubishi Materials has also

0:07:30 > 0:07:31been caught cheating.

0:07:31 > 0:07:38Leisha Santorelli is following the story in Singapore....

0:07:38 > 0:07:46Leisha, an interesting one because just after that scandal, potentially

0:07:46 > 0:07:52Mitsubishi involved in something similar.Exactly Ben. That made in

0:07:52 > 0:07:55Japan label seems to be losing even more of a shine because of this

0:07:55 > 0:08:00scandal. This comes from another famous Japanese name, Mitsubishi,

0:08:00 > 0:08:07and according to a report by Japan's financial daily, a division of the

0:08:07 > 0:08:11company called Mitsubishi Cable Industries has been falsifying

0:08:11 > 0:08:17product data for centuries. The product is plastic seals used by

0:08:17 > 0:08:21hundreds of companies in the aircraft, aerospace and nuclear

0:08:21 > 0:08:27sectors. It is no joke. Mitsubishi has launched an investigation that

0:08:27 > 0:08:32no safety issues have been reported yet. Yet after that quality scandal

0:08:32 > 0:08:37at the steel company as well as with Subaru, which allowed and qualified

0:08:37 > 0:08:41inspectors to sign off on their vehicles, it looks like there's a

0:08:41 > 0:08:46lot of soul-searching going on in Japan as to how they can allow such

0:08:46 > 0:08:51lapses to happen among their ranks. Thank you so much Leisha. We will

0:08:51 > 0:08:55keep an eye on that situation as it develops.

0:08:55 > 0:09:03Let's look at the financial markets. On the one hand and has been quiet

0:09:03 > 0:09:10because Japan has a public holiday today, it had such a stellar day the

0:09:10 > 0:09:17day before and in the final hour of trading dipped dramatically by

0:09:17 > 0:09:26nearly one percentage, in China, it saw quite a big fall in share

0:09:26 > 0:09:30markets in Shanghai mainland China. There is no clear reason why this

0:09:30 > 0:09:34happened but the dollar has been extremely weak, which is not good

0:09:34 > 0:09:42news for many markets trading in Asia. Again for example, you know

0:09:42 > 0:09:49you know what that does. In Europe, no action in Wall Street because of

0:09:49 > 0:09:54the Thanksgiving break. They are all headed lower, we will talk more

0:09:54 > 0:10:05about the markets, it was Budget Day and the UK on Wednesday.

0:10:05 > 0:10:06The Chancellor

0:10:06 > 0:10:09of the Exchequor has been speaking to the BBC this morning -

0:10:09 > 0:10:11again highlighting how Tory plans will help young

0:10:11 > 0:10:13people in particular.

0:10:13 > 0:10:17It is about the future prospects of Britain and the budget has been

0:10:17 > 0:10:21designed to secure Britain's prospects that the feature, to

0:10:21 > 0:10:26assist the next generation, to help them get on the housing ladder, give

0:10:26 > 0:10:29them confidence that they will be the high skilled high-paying jobs

0:10:29 > 0:10:32available for them so they can prosper in the future and we can

0:10:32 > 0:10:38pass on an economy and a nation in good shape to the next generation.

0:10:38 > 0:10:44That was the Chancellor, Philip Hammond, talking about the details

0:10:44 > 0:10:50in his budget yesterday.

0:10:50 > 0:10:53Mike Amey is managing director and portfolio manager at PIMCO.

0:10:53 > 0:10:58What did you make of the budget, some giveaways but some debit

0:10:58 > 0:11:04assessments.Yes, one was an admission that growth will be slower

0:11:04 > 0:11:08than we helped...Slower than anyone helped including the Bank of

0:11:08 > 0:11:14England!The Bank of England has some revisions to do as well, you

0:11:14 > 0:11:18would've expected ten or 15 years ago two and a half would have been a

0:11:18 > 0:11:24normal number. On the other hand the Chancellor is spending some money so

0:11:24 > 0:11:27there's a bit of an increase in spending relative to where we were,

0:11:27 > 0:11:30that is what he was alluding to in that clip about freeing up some of

0:11:30 > 0:11:38the purse strings for spending. Housing was a focus as well

0:11:38 > 0:11:43certainly for first-time buyers. In all of this, until we start building

0:11:43 > 0:11:48more houses, nothing will really change with the housing market.The

0:11:48 > 0:11:51key underlying problem there is if you don't burden of houses relative

0:11:51 > 0:11:54to demand you put pressure on prices. That's the fundamental

0:11:54 > 0:11:59problem. The change is how you unlock that spending. The government

0:11:59 > 0:12:03can make it easier for planning or they can force home builders one

0:12:03 > 0:12:08they've got these so-called land banks to build housing. They are

0:12:08 > 0:12:14trying to build a bit more on encouragement rather than the

0:12:14 > 0:12:18physical spending.Let's talk about the United States, the Federal

0:12:18 > 0:12:21reserve minutes were released, they tell us nothing we don't anticipate

0:12:21 > 0:12:26for December, that is, a rate rise. Quite concerned about the lack of

0:12:26 > 0:12:31inflation in the US. A problem we modern experiencing here.This will

0:12:31 > 0:12:37be the fifth time that the US has raised interest rates. To one point

0:12:37 > 0:12:424%. They have the opposite problem to us. They have slightly higher

0:12:42 > 0:12:47growth, 2% as opposed to our one and a half but they have low inflation,

0:12:47 > 0:12:51and their target is two, the same as ours. They are approaching it

0:12:51 > 0:12:55differently. Raising rates because they can. The Bank of England is

0:12:55 > 0:13:00worried about inflation staying higher so it's a different dynamic.

0:13:00 > 0:13:03The underlying message of this is that we are getting to the point

0:13:03 > 0:13:06where globally interest rates can come of the lowest levels they have

0:13:06 > 0:13:12been.Mike, for the moment, thank you, we'll talk about some of the

0:13:12 > 0:13:15stories in the papers later and the cost of Christmas, many of you

0:13:15 > 0:13:18getting in touch about whether you are cutting back on spending for

0:13:18 > 0:13:22Christmas, we will go through what you say. Keep your messages coming.

0:13:22 > 0:13:27Still to come...

0:13:27 > 0:13:30A revved up homecoming - after a revival in India,

0:13:30 > 0:13:34we meet the man bringing this iconic bike back to Britain.

0:13:34 > 0:13:45You are with Business Live from BBC News.

0:13:49 > 0:13:54Let's talk some more about the budget.

0:13:54 > 0:13:56So as the dust settles on the autumn Budget unveiled

0:13:56 > 0:13:58by the Chancellor yesterday, what are the key points?

0:13:58 > 0:14:05It depends how you die just it. Who will benefit? We saw some of the key

0:14:05 > 0:14:08points -- it depends how you die just it.

0:14:08 > 0:14:10Well, there's the help for first time buyers,

0:14:10 > 0:14:12a big homebuilding programme and extra spending

0:14:12 > 0:14:13on the National Health Service.

0:14:13 > 0:14:15But, the independent forecasting body, the Office

0:14:15 > 0:14:17for Budget Responsibility, says the economy is slowing -

0:14:17 > 0:14:19with growth of just 1.5% this year.

0:14:19 > 0:14:21That's behind most other major economies and is making it harder

0:14:21 > 0:14:28to cut our national debt.

0:14:28 > 0:14:32Richard Jeffrey is Chief Economist at Cazenove Capital Management.

0:14:32 > 0:14:39Nice to see you, Richard.Good morning.What did you make of it?It

0:14:39 > 0:14:42was uninteresting budget. The Chancellor didn't have much room to

0:14:42 > 0:14:46manoeuvre but used the room that he did have reasonably well. Most of

0:14:46 > 0:14:50the attention was grabbed by this downwards revision to the forecast

0:14:50 > 0:14:55for growth and behind productivity. A lot of evidence suggests that

0:14:55 > 0:15:01growth in the economy at the moment is being and recorded, and that

0:15:01 > 0:15:04although not spectacular productivity is slightly better than

0:15:04 > 0:15:09the currently published numbers suggest. Ironically, this might set

0:15:09 > 0:15:13the Chancellor, because I think growth would be a bit stronger than

0:15:13 > 0:15:18the 1.5% that is being projected on average for the next few years. It

0:15:18 > 0:15:23might be one and the quarters, or even 2%. If that's the case he will

0:15:23 > 0:15:27have more room to manoeuvre in future budgets than people currently

0:15:27 > 0:15:31reckon. As I say, there is some reason to suppose this. If we look

0:15:31 > 0:15:36at Labour market data suggesting the economy is much stronger than the

0:15:36 > 0:15:37output numbers are suggesting.

0:15:42 > 0:15:49Richard, good to top you. Thank you for so much for explaining all of

0:15:49 > 0:15:59that.

0:16:01 > 0:16:07There is lots more on the BBC News business live website, including a

0:16:07 > 0:16:12calculator. And there is also a story about Christmas fraud,

0:16:12 > 0:16:16smartphones and clothing, read all the detail, keep informed.

0:16:22 > 0:16:25You're watching Business Live - our top story - Switzerland

0:16:25 > 0:16:28and the EU square up over cash and immigration - as the UK looks

0:16:28 > 0:16:31on for signs of what might be to come in a future post-Brexit

0:16:31 > 0:16:37relationship with the European Union.

0:16:37 > 0:16:42The UK will be watching with great interest. We have been discussing

0:16:42 > 0:16:45with our correspondence that in many ways its payment for access to the

0:16:45 > 0:16:50Common Market, the European market and clearly a lot of questions

0:16:50 > 0:16:51continue over that funding.

0:16:51 > 0:16:53Va va-v-rooom!

0:16:53 > 0:16:55It's been more than a hundred years since the Royal Enfield motorbike

0:16:55 > 0:16:56first revved its engine.

0:16:56 > 0:16:59First made in 1901 - it lays claim to being one

0:16:59 > 0:17:01of the world's oldest motorcycle brands still in production.

0:17:01 > 0:17:04During the first and second world wars it supplied bikes

0:17:04 > 0:17:05to the British forces.

0:17:05 > 0:17:07In 1955 the company partnered with Enfield India to manufacture

0:17:07 > 0:17:09the motorbikes in the east of the country.

0:17:09 > 0:17:15Just over a decade later the British firm went bankrupt.

0:17:15 > 0:17:19But the name Royal Enfield has been carried on by the India-based firm -

0:17:19 > 0:17:26which now has plans to bring part of the business back to the UK.

0:17:26 > 0:17:31Siddhartha Lal is Chief Executive of Royal Enfield.

0:17:32 > 0:17:35He is with us now. Nice to see you and welcome.

0:17:35 > 0:17:40Thank you. Let's talk about your involvement,

0:17:40 > 0:17:44you've been doing this for quite a file, you did this as a result of

0:17:44 > 0:17:48your father's involvement. Tell us about this.Royal Enfield

0:17:48 > 0:17:55has been through many potential bankruptcies, it died once in the

0:17:55 > 0:17:59UK, nearly twice in India, but it is a resilient brand, finds its way

0:17:59 > 0:18:05back into life and hopefully this time it is for real. In the 90s, my

0:18:05 > 0:18:11father bought this brand, it was a link about to die, I was 18, I had

0:18:11 > 0:18:13the scheming, lovely motor cycle, it was obvious something really

0:18:13 > 0:18:18interesting to me and I started running the company in the year

0:18:18 > 0:18:232000, it was in a spot of trouble.I would imagine at the age of 18 it

0:18:23 > 0:18:29was cool for dad to buy a water bike company, James Dean and Steve

0:18:29 > 0:18:34McQueen, famous users of it and posing on them, but the bikes

0:18:34 > 0:18:39weren't selling, the competition was coming from Asia, extremely tough.

0:18:39 > 0:18:43To sell bikes en masse, the markets there, people want them, especially

0:18:43 > 0:18:51in India. What happened, as in the US, the UK,

0:18:51 > 0:18:56Europe in the 60s, 70s, 80s, the Japanese motorcycles came in they

0:18:56 > 0:19:00were more efficient, cheaper, and they were really good, they

0:19:00 > 0:19:05destroyed the industry and the same happened in India in the 80s, the

0:19:05 > 0:19:09joint ventures came in, destroying all the old-style motorcycle

0:19:09 > 0:19:14companies including Royal Enfield and it took us decades of not making

0:19:14 > 0:19:20any money, not growing, the Indo Japanese players were growing

0:19:20 > 0:19:24tremendously and at that point we found our resilience. We said we

0:19:24 > 0:19:29don't want to be in a small motorcycle market, we want to make

0:19:29 > 0:19:32something delightful, fun and leisurely and that's what you focus

0:19:32 > 0:19:37on and we didn't grow for well over a decade and in the year 2000 we had

0:19:37 > 0:19:40a ramp and it's been growing ever since.Do you think your growth

0:19:40 > 0:19:46story in India is how the Indian economy has developed in the sense

0:19:46 > 0:19:49that more people, they are more aspirational, they have more money

0:19:49 > 0:19:53because your motor bikes are more expensive than some of the cheap

0:19:53 > 0:19:57Asian models that they could easily opt for to do their commute.

0:19:57 > 0:20:03Absolutely, art motorcycle is nearly double the price but what happens,

0:20:03 > 0:20:07around the year 2010, and everything started working, it was the time

0:20:07 > 0:20:11when the IT revolution and the boom happened in India, people were

0:20:11 > 0:20:17earning a lot more, some young chap at 21 or 23 was earning a hell of a

0:20:17 > 0:20:21lot more and he wanted to express his individuality and difference in

0:20:21 > 0:20:25a different way and we expect to be able to take that to markets outside

0:20:25 > 0:20:30India and that is the future of Royal Enfield.Global company,

0:20:30 > 0:20:34Manufacturing still in India, your research and development done a lot

0:20:34 > 0:20:39in the UK, widespread that?We set up a UK technical Centre, the team

0:20:39 > 0:20:47we started holding a number of years ago, that's got around 125 engineers

0:20:47 > 0:20:51and it's growing. Over the last decade when we could not afford so

0:20:51 > 0:20:57many engineers we came to the UK, the Midlands, that is where we found

0:20:57 > 0:21:01the people who could resonate with what we were trying to accomplish,

0:21:01 > 0:21:05we came here for consultancy but now we can afford more we decided to set

0:21:05 > 0:21:10up our own bespoke centre and dedicated team and these are people

0:21:10 > 0:21:14who really understand leisure motor cycling. In India we understand

0:21:14 > 0:21:17engineering and manufacturing but the leisure side of motor cycling is

0:21:17 > 0:21:22what we are trying to get out of the team.How are you going to grab the

0:21:22 > 0:21:27market in the UK and elsewhere outside India in a significant way

0:21:27 > 0:21:32because some see it as a very niche, kind of like a Rikard Karlberg, cool

0:21:32 > 0:21:37bike, not necessarily a bike we will see on the streets, alongside all

0:21:37 > 0:21:44those Japanese manufacturers?That's what we are in markets like the UK,

0:21:44 > 0:21:50other such markets, we were a bit more obscure, different, right?

0:21:50 > 0:21:54Maybe integer placement but what's happened as the result of our global

0:21:54 > 0:21:58ambitions and the type of work we do, our brand is still unique and

0:21:58 > 0:22:02different and we have this all school character and I believe a

0:22:02 > 0:22:07vintage style looking but with a modern under ten. And a green one as

0:22:07 > 0:22:14well? Will... More than green... It's very fuel-efficient, compared

0:22:14 > 0:22:20to other motorcycles and what's happening, we have a new range that

0:22:20 > 0:22:23we will bring into markets in the UK, they've been designed right

0:22:23 > 0:22:26here.We will have to leave it there, we are running out of time

0:22:26 > 0:22:32but so good to see you. Thank you for being on the programme. This is

0:22:32 > 0:22:41how to stay in touch. We will keep you up-to-date with the latest

0:22:41 > 0:22:46details, insight and analysis on the website. And we want to hear from

0:22:46 > 0:22:56you. Get involved on the web page. On Twitter and you can find us on

0:22:56 > 0:23:14Facebook. Business live on TV and online, whenever you need to know.

0:23:17 > 0:23:21Mike is back in the studio, lots to talk about, Black Friday tomorrow,

0:23:21 > 0:23:25Thanksgiving today, get out and spend but many are feeling the

0:23:25 > 0:23:31pinch.Absolutely, two things going on, Black Friday, historically

0:23:31 > 0:23:37retailers go into profit for the year. The challenge is retailers are

0:23:37 > 0:23:42under a lot of pressure and you certainly see that in the UK.

0:23:42 > 0:23:45Further our continual pressure is on the high street and the split

0:23:45 > 0:23:49between Street and the Internet is the key challenge, making the

0:23:49 > 0:23:54transition obviously the one we look for.So many retailers doing both,

0:23:54 > 0:23:59in tandem and there was a big swing over the last decade that everything

0:23:59 > 0:24:03would go online and we like the convenience of ordering online and

0:24:03 > 0:24:08picking it up at the shop.If you are a large retailer you need to

0:24:08 > 0:24:12have a presence, people can physically see the items that you

0:24:12 > 0:24:15have to make sure they buy it off you without going to another

0:24:15 > 0:24:21website, that is the challenge for a lot of retailers.Are you guilty of

0:24:21 > 0:24:26going into a store, you touch it you feel it, then you go and buy it

0:24:26 > 0:24:31elsewhere?I am not a very good shopper.You are probably saving a

0:24:31 > 0:24:36lot of money. Let's look at what you are doing, Stewart says I am cutting

0:24:36 > 0:24:41back significantly I cannot afford it. Sorry to hear that. Anna says

0:24:41 > 0:24:45Christmas sucks, I will spend as I normally do, not feel pressured. I

0:24:45 > 0:24:53want to know how Erica does her budgeting, Lincolnshire, 350 quid

0:24:53 > 0:24:58she limited her spending two, hoping to beat it this year. Well done with

0:24:58 > 0:25:08that. Mike, the other story dominating, Uber, huge hacking

0:25:08 > 0:25:13attack, paying off the hackers.Uber has been in the news a lot recently,

0:25:13 > 0:25:19this is the latest story, do people stop using the service, is this

0:25:19 > 0:25:23enough to tip it over the edge, so far it does not look like it but the

0:25:23 > 0:25:28bad news is stacking up.Thank you. So nice to see you. Thank you so

0:25:28 > 0:25:32much for your company. We will see you same time same place tomorrow.

0:25:32 > 0:25:35Have a great day. Goodbye.
