Banking regulation -
will Europe's new financial rules | 0:00:11 | 0:00:13 | |
prevent another crisis or just
choke off investment? | 0:00:13 | 0:00:17 | |
Live from London, that's our top
story on Thursday, 7th December. | 0:00:17 | 0:00:21 | |
It's ten years since the financial
crisis, but up until now, | 0:00:39 | 0:00:42 | |
there's been no agreement
across Europe on how | 0:00:42 | 0:00:44 | |
to stop it happening again. | 0:00:44 | 0:00:45 | |
That could change at a meeting
in Frankfurt later. | 0:00:45 | 0:00:49 | |
We will tell you all you need to
know. | 0:00:49 | 0:00:53 | |

Sins of emission -
a VW executive is jailed for seven | 0:00:56 | 0:00:59 | |
years in the US for his role
in the Dieselgate scandal And we'll | 0:00:59 | 0:01:02 | |
be looking at the challenges facing
agriculture this century. | 0:01:02 | 0:01:07 | |
Markets are recovering from
Wednesday's decline. We will talk | 0:01:07 | 0:01:10 | |
you through the winners and losers.
And we will be looking at challenges | 0:01:10 | 0:01:17 | |
facing agriculture this century.
Could the sea and seaweed provide a | 0:01:17 | 0:01:20 | |
potential solution? As the world's
biggest Starbucks opens in Shanghai, | 0:01:20 | 0:01:27 | |
do you think we have got enough
coffee shops? | 0:01:27 | 0:01:33 | |
Just use the hashtag BBCBizLive. | 0:01:33 | 0:01:38 | |
Hello and welcome to Business Live. | 0:01:38 | 0:01:43 | |
We will be tasting seaweed bacon in
about 15 minutes. Stay with us for | 0:01:43 | 0:01:47 | |
that, if nothing else! Starting with
an anniversary I'm sure you | 0:01:47 | 0:01:53 | |
remember. | 0:01:53 | 0:01:55 | |
It's ten years since
the financial crisis - | 0:01:55 | 0:01:57 | |
but still no pan-European agreement
on how to stop it happening again. | 0:01:57 | 0:02:00 | |
In Frankfurt today that
could all change - we will tell | 0:02:00 | 0:02:03 | |
you all you need to know. | 0:02:03 | 0:02:04 | |
Central bank chiefs are expected
to decide new rules - | 0:02:04 | 0:02:07 | |
on just how much cash banks have
to keep on hand for an emergency. | 0:02:07 | 0:02:10 | |
They are known as Basel 3
after the Swiss city - | 0:02:10 | 0:02:13 | |
but what are the key issues? | 0:02:13 | 0:02:17 | |
Until now, banks have been allowed
to decide for themselves how much | 0:02:17 | 0:02:20 | |
cash they need to stash away. | 0:02:20 | 0:02:23 | |
But under new rules,
there will be what they call | 0:02:23 | 0:02:29 | |
a standard approach
to assess the riskiness | 0:02:29 | 0:02:31 | |
of the mortgages, loans and debt
that each bank holds. | 0:02:31 | 0:02:35 | |
Basically, it will mean many
European banks will need to hold | 0:02:35 | 0:02:38 | |
more cash in reserve. | 0:02:38 | 0:02:41 | |
And the banks argue that means
less money to lend out | 0:02:41 | 0:02:44 | |
which could damage the economy
and it could make them | 0:02:44 | 0:02:46 | |
less competitive. | 0:02:47 | 0:02:50 | |
In the UK, rules have been tightened
up since the crisis, | 0:02:50 | 0:02:55 | |
with banks subjected
to annual stress tests. | 0:02:55 | 0:03:00 | |
Early last week, the Bank of England
said all UK banks passed the latest | 0:03:00 | 0:03:05 | |
tests. | 0:03:05 | 0:03:09 | |
Gonzalo Gasos, Head
of Banking Supervision | 0:03:09 | 0:03:10 | |
at the European Banking Federation. | 0:03:10 | 0:03:17 | |
The bottom line, is this going to
make European banks safer in the | 0:03:17 | 0:03:22 | |
financial crisis? Of course, but let
me point out first that European | 0:03:22 | 0:03:28 | |
banks have already largely
accomplished the objectives set out | 0:03:28 | 0:03:35 | |
in 2010 by the group of central bank
governors and heads of supervision | 0:03:35 | 0:03:43 | |
of Basel three. What we are
discussing today are some | 0:03:43 | 0:03:47 | |
complimentary details. European
banks have three times more capital | 0:03:47 | 0:03:51 | |
than before the crisis and that
makes us more resilient and more | 0:03:51 | 0:03:55 | |
able to face adversity. That is the
most important piece of news today | 0:03:55 | 0:04:02 | |
and there will be some compliments
to finalise these very long ... From | 0:04:02 | 0:04:13 | |
all regions across the world, the
finalisation of the Basel three | 0:04:13 | 0:04:18 | |
package means the end of the crisis.
It sounds to me as though you are | 0:04:18 | 0:04:23 | |
saying, there is no dramatic change
today because the banks have been | 0:04:23 | 0:04:27 | |
working at this for five, six years
already. If there is not much of a | 0:04:27 | 0:04:33 | |
change, everything carries on just
the same as before, is that right? | 0:04:33 | 0:04:37 | |
Well, my point is that we have
already accumulated much more | 0:04:37 | 0:04:42 | |
capital and liquidity than we had in
the past. Now the new rules have | 0:04:42 | 0:04:46 | |
some details that will need to be
carefully assessed in a European | 0:04:46 | 0:04:53 | |
impact assessment that should be
rigorous enough to understand what | 0:04:53 | 0:04:56 | |
impact will be in certain portfolios
like residential mortgages, trade | 0:04:56 | 0:05:03 | |
finance, project finance. Do you
think it will make banks less | 0:05:03 | 0:05:09 | |
willing or able to lend? Well, that
depends on the final details of the | 0:05:09 | 0:05:16 | |
agreement. It will be published
later today. And how we have to | 0:05:16 | 0:05:23 | |
assess that impact in certain
portfolios. At the end of the day, | 0:05:23 | 0:05:27 | |
more capital beyond a certain level
only means a higher cost for banks | 0:05:27 | 0:05:34 | |
and therefore for borrowers who are
the citizens in our European Union. | 0:05:34 | 0:05:41 | |
Thank you very much indeed. | 0:05:41 | 0:05:44 | |
Let's take a look at some of
the other stories making the news. | 0:05:44 | 0:05:47 | |
One of Volkswagen's top
executives has been sentenced | 0:05:47 | 0:05:49 | |
to seven years in prison and fined
$400,000 for his role | 0:05:49 | 0:05:52 | |
in the Dieselgate scandal. | 0:05:52 | 0:05:53 | |
The judge described Oliver Schmidt
as a key conspirator in this scheme | 0:05:53 | 0:05:56 | |
to defraud the United States. | 0:05:56 | 0:06:06 | |
More on that story later. It is all
over the press. | 0:06:06 | 0:06:11 | |
Bitcoin has soared to a new record
high, above $14,000. | 0:06:11 | 0:06:13 | |
The virtual currency has surged
from below $1,000 at the beginning | 0:06:13 | 0:06:18 | |
of the year, despite questions
about its real value and worries | 0:06:18 | 0:06:21 | |
about a dangerous bubble. | 0:06:21 | 0:06:23 | |
Steinhoff International -
the owner of Poundland in the UK - | 0:06:23 | 0:06:26 | |
has seen its shares fall
by another 18% this Thursday. | 0:06:26 | 0:06:29 | |
They plunged by almost two thirds
on Wednesday after the South African | 0:06:29 | 0:06:32 | |
group announced a probe
into accounting irregularities. | 0:06:32 | 0:06:34 | |
Chief executive Markus Jooste has
resigned and the firm has | 0:06:34 | 0:06:36 | |
postponed its full-year results. | 0:06:36 | 0:06:45 | |
Let us have a look at the markets
now. | 0:06:51 | 0:06:56 | |
The International Monetary Fund has
raised the alarm about the high | 0:06:56 | 0:06:58 | |
level of debt in China,
saying it poses a risk | 0:06:58 | 0:07:01 | |
to financial stability. | 0:07:01 | 0:07:02 | |
That hasn't gone down
well in Beijing. | 0:07:02 | 0:07:07 | |
You might think we have heard this
before, the IMF behind the curve, | 0:07:07 | 0:07:11 | |
perhaps. | 0:07:11 | 0:07:12 | |
Let's go to our Asia | 0:07:12 | 0:07:13 | |
business hub where Leisha Santorelli
is following the story. | 0:07:13 | 0:07:17 | |
Quite often the IMF says things many
have been talking about for months. | 0:07:17 | 0:07:21 | |
That is correct but the IMF is not
crying wolf because the risks | 0:07:21 | 0:07:26 | |
China's economy faces from a build
up of debt in the financial sector | 0:07:26 | 0:07:30 | |
does risk triggering another crisis.
The IMF's report actually is another | 0:07:30 | 0:07:37 | |
comprehensive assessment of how
China's financial system has been | 0:07:37 | 0:07:42 | |
since 2011 and examining whether
China is doing enough to address all | 0:07:42 | 0:07:46 | |
of the debt. China has relied on
exports and investment to drive its | 0:07:46 | 0:07:50 | |
economy but many believe the growth
model has reached its limits and the | 0:07:50 | 0:07:53 | |
build up of debt is posing a big
risk. The IMF is arguing China has | 0:07:53 | 0:08:00 | |
to put financial stability above its
pursuit of high-growth or GDP | 0:08:00 | 0:08:05 | |
figures and it is recommending
Chinese banks increase their cash | 0:08:05 | 0:08:08 | |
cushion to protect against an
economic downturn. Thank you. As far | 0:08:08 | 0:08:16 | |
as markets in Asia, not perturbed by
the news from the IMF whatsoever, | 0:08:16 | 0:08:20 | |
very strong session today. Japan as
well, up over 1%. A really good | 0:08:20 | 0:08:26 | |
session. This follows quite a bit
decline for Asian markets on | 0:08:26 | 0:08:30 | |
Wednesday. Wednesday marked the
eighth day in a row of declines for | 0:08:30 | 0:08:36 | |
Asian markets. There has been a
bounce back today, but behind me, | 0:08:36 | 0:08:40 | |
you can see the Dow down slightly.
You're right now... The markets have | 0:08:40 | 0:08:45 | |
been going for nearly 40 minutes --
the FTSE right now. GDC is | 0:08:45 | 0:08:57 | |
interested in buying Lord --
Ladbrokes Coral. We will talk more | 0:08:57 | 0:09:07 | |
about the movers and shakers. | 0:09:07 | 0:09:09 | |
And Samira Hussain has
the details about what's ahead | 0:09:09 | 0:09:11 | |
on Wall Street Today. | 0:09:11 | 0:09:12 | |
The US Federal reserve on Thursday
is likely to report extended credit | 0:09:12 | 0:09:17 | |
rose to 17.50 billion dollars in
October. In earnings news, discount | 0:09:17 | 0:09:23 | |
store dollar general will be
reporting. The company has been | 0:09:23 | 0:09:28 | |
cutting prices more aggressively as
it looks to try to better compete in | 0:09:28 | 0:09:33 | |
the grocery industry. Amazon's
purchase of Whole Foods is heating | 0:09:33 | 0:09:39 | |
up grocery wars. Companies like
Walmart are ramping up grocery | 0:09:39 | 0:09:45 | |
offerings to compete against the
online retailing giant. And we will | 0:09:45 | 0:09:48 | |
continue to watch lawmakers in
Washington try to get a spending | 0:09:48 | 0:09:54 | |
deal in place to avert a government
shutdown. Congress has until | 0:09:54 | 0:09:57 | |
midnight on Friday to come up with a
short-term spending bill. Without | 0:09:57 | 0:10:02 | |
any legislation in place, the
government will begin shutting down | 0:10:02 | 0:10:04 | |
on Saturday. Interesting. Perhaps
another fiscal cliff. We remember | 0:10:04 | 0:10:10 | |
that! | 0:10:10 | 0:10:13 | |
Joining us is Maike Currie,
investment director | 0:10:13 | 0:10:14 | |
at Fidelity International. | 0:10:15 | 0:10:17 | |
You wanted to focus on the states,
quite a few issues, jobs report out, | 0:10:17 | 0:10:23 | |
all sorts. Investors are keeping an
eye on the possibility of a | 0:10:23 | 0:10:26 | |
government shutdown, also Donald
Trump's tax reforms, and tomorrow, | 0:10:26 | 0:10:33 | |
the payrolls are out. Expectations
are jobs will be slightly more | 0:10:33 | 0:10:38 | |
muted. Quite a strong month last
month because the figures were much | 0:10:38 | 0:10:41 | |
better after the Hurricanes had
muted previous figures. This matters | 0:10:41 | 0:10:48 | |
because next week, Wednesday, the
Fed will give its announcement on | 0:10:48 | 0:10:51 | |
whether it will raise interest rates
and expectations are it will go | 0:10:51 | 0:10:56 | |
ahead with the rate rise of 0.25%.
It is interesting because the US has | 0:10:56 | 0:11:05 | |
led stock markets higher, it is
looking quite pricey, investors are | 0:11:05 | 0:11:09 | |
questioning how long it can
continue, but the US is home to the | 0:11:09 | 0:11:14 | |
stocks that are offering growth that
investors need in an era a very | 0:11:14 | 0:11:20 | |
paltry growth. Fundamental good
results coming out from these | 0:11:20 | 0:11:25 | |
companies, very good reporting
earlier, a month ago, so there is | 0:11:25 | 0:11:29 | |
justification for the prices. What
investors really want to do is | 0:11:29 | 0:11:33 | |
wrapped that arms around the gold
standard -- gold standard, in | 0:11:33 | 0:11:40 | |
technology, sustainable growth. The
tech companies are spending a lot, | 0:11:40 | 0:11:44 | |
but they are doing it to invest in
all sectors so they can continue | 0:11:44 | 0:11:49 | |
dominating. Thank you very much. You
will return later to talk about some | 0:11:49 | 0:11:54 | |
of the other stories. We have more
to come. They say see food and eat | 0:11:54 | 0:12:02 | |
it. Seaweed diet! Do not say that
too quickly! Seashells. That is all | 0:12:02 | 0:12:11 | |
coming up on Business Live. She
sells seaweed... | 0:12:11 | 0:12:19 | |
I am very hungry right now. | 0:12:22 | 0:12:26 | |
The majority of businesses expect
the fall in sterling | 0:12:26 | 0:12:28 | |
to increase their costs. | 0:12:28 | 0:12:29 | |
A British Chambers of Commerce
survey of over 1,000 businesses | 0:12:29 | 0:12:33 | |
found that 63% of businesses
expect their costs to increase | 0:12:33 | 0:12:36 | |
in the next 12 months as a result
of the devaluation in sterling. | 0:12:36 | 0:12:39 | |
A quarter of businesses expect costs
to rise significantly. | 0:12:39 | 0:12:42 | |
In comparison, only 6% of firms
expect their costs to decrease. | 0:12:42 | 0:12:48 | |
Anastassia Beliakova
is the Head of Trade Policy | 0:12:48 | 0:12:52 | |
at the British Chambers of Commerce
and she joins us from the newsroom. | 0:12:52 | 0:12:57 | |
What I find odd is the timing. It
seems we have had the big increase | 0:12:57 | 0:13:02 | |
in inflation as a result of the
devaluation of the pound. That is | 0:13:02 | 0:13:09 | |
last year's story, yet you are
saying they are worried this will | 0:13:09 | 0:13:12 | |
keep on going? What is striking
about the findings in the survey | 0:13:12 | 0:13:18 | |
with American Express is that
companies, despite the fact they | 0:13:18 | 0:13:21 | |
have been facing pressures from the
fall in sterling over the past year, | 0:13:21 | 0:13:28 | |
they have not been hedging against
currency risks. A number of things | 0:13:28 | 0:13:32 | |
they could do to protect themselves,
half of the firms almost we | 0:13:32 | 0:13:37 | |
surveyed, despite higher costs, they
have not hedged against currency | 0:13:37 | 0:13:40 | |
risks. I am surprised to hear that.
This is because of lack of | 0:13:40 | 0:13:46 | |
information but also company is not
being proactive in terms of | 0:13:46 | 0:13:50 | |
protecting themselves. There are so
many things they could do, take out | 0:13:50 | 0:13:54 | |
insurance against currency risks,
sign forward contracts to lock in | 0:13:54 | 0:13:58 | |
the particular exchange rate, but
many are waiting and whilst they are | 0:13:58 | 0:14:02 | |
waiting, they are seeing costs rise.
They need to take action to protect | 0:14:02 | 0:14:06 | |
themselves. Do you think the result
will be they will feed those costs | 0:14:06 | 0:14:11 | |
through into higher prices or reduce
staff levels or cutting costs, how | 0:14:11 | 0:14:16 | |
will they deal with it? We're not
seeing at the moment this expressed | 0:14:16 | 0:14:21 | |
in higher prices. But a number of
companies are saying this is | 0:14:21 | 0:14:25 | |
something they are considering. This
is worrying of course and it also | 0:14:25 | 0:14:30 | |
highlights the importance of trying
to cut down costs before they are | 0:14:30 | 0:14:33 | |
passed onto consumers and before
they force companies to make quite | 0:14:33 | 0:14:37 | |
significant changes to how they are
run. Thank you very much indeed. | 0:14:37 | 0:14:42 | |
More detail on that story on the
Business Live page including other | 0:14:42 | 0:14:47 | |
stories like house prices, the fifth
month of rising house prices | 0:14:47 | 0:14:54 | |
according to the Halifax. | 0:14:54 | 0:15:01 | |
You're watching Business
Live, our top story: | 0:15:01 | 0:15:04 | |
Central Bank bosses are expected
to decide new rules later today | 0:15:04 | 0:15:06 | |
at a meeting in Frankfurt. | 0:15:07 | 0:15:08 | |
Known as Basel 3, they would
require many European | 0:15:08 | 0:15:10 | |
banks to hold more cash in reserve. | 0:15:10 | 0:15:15 | |
It is designed to try to reduce the
likelihood of another financial | 0:15:15 | 0:15:18 | |
crisis. Some say it would mean there
would be less money to lend out and | 0:15:18 | 0:15:26 | |
it would damage the economy. | 0:15:26 | 0:15:27 | |
it would damage the economy. | 0:15:27 | 0:15:28 | |
A quick look at how
markets are faring. | 0:15:28 | 0:15:33 | |
They are all heading higher, in the
right direction, not a big jump. I | 0:15:33 | 0:15:44 | |
have got some bags here are my left.
We shall explain about that in a | 0:15:44 | 0:15:49 | |
moment. | 0:15:49 | 0:15:50 | |
We shall explain
about that in a moment. | 0:15:52 | 0:15:54 | |
Agriculture in the 21st century
faces many challenges as a growing | 0:15:54 | 0:15:56 | |
global population puts pressure
on water and land resources. | 0:15:56 | 0:15:58 | |
So with the number of people
on earth expected to hit 9 billion | 0:15:58 | 0:16:01 | |
by 2050, how can we produce enough
food to feed everyone? | 0:16:01 | 0:16:04 | |
Well, one man thinks
he has a solution. | 0:16:04 | 0:16:08 | |
Seaweed needs just sea
and sunlight to grow, | 0:16:08 | 0:16:13 | |
and according to Dutch entrepreneur
Willem Sodderland, it is the most | 0:16:13 | 0:16:15 | |
sustainable food on the planet. | 0:16:15 | 0:16:19 | |
In fact, it's becoming so popular,
that earlier this month the Marine | 0:16:19 | 0:16:23 | |
and Aquaculture stewardship councils
launched a certification scheme | 0:16:23 | 0:16:27 | |
for seaweed to set minimum
requirements for growing | 0:16:27 | 0:16:29 | |
and farming it. | 0:16:29 | 0:16:31 | |
After realising the health
and environmental benefits | 0:16:31 | 0:16:35 | |
of seaweed, Sodderland launched
Seamore in 2015, with a mission | 0:16:35 | 0:16:39 | |
to make seaweed an everyday food. | 0:16:39 | 0:16:42 | |
Joining us now is Willem Sodderland,
founder and CEO of Seamore. | 0:16:42 | 0:16:48 | |
He is here with his various samples.
And some place as well. | 0:16:49 | 0:16:55 | |
I know you are hungry.
I like that one. We have got seaweed | 0:16:55 | 0:17:02 | |
bacon and seaweed pasta. You could
if freshly for us this morning. | 0:17:02 | 0:17:06 | |
Absolutely. Tell us how and why you
started this. I was in a restaurant | 0:17:06 | 0:17:14 | |
and ordered a seaweed salad and I
got a plate and I could not find any | 0:17:14 | 0:17:18 | |
seaweed on it and it turned out the
tagliatelle on the plate was the | 0:17:18 | 0:17:24 | |
seaweed. That gave me the idea to
look into it to see if you could | 0:17:24 | 0:17:29 | |
swap carbohydrates for vegetables
which is something we were looking | 0:17:29 | 0:17:33 | |
into in my household. What do you
think? I like that one. You used | 0:17:33 | 0:17:40 | |
crowdfunding? You'll yes, we did and
we tested the product with | 0:17:40 | 0:17:46 | |
consumers. How much did you raise?
We raised about 100,000 in the | 0:17:46 | 0:17:53 | |
beginning and then we raised more
from banks and also from former | 0:17:53 | 0:17:56 | |
investors. How do you put it out
there to get all those people | 0:17:56 | 0:18:03 | |
interested? What do you say to them?
You start with a small group of | 0:18:03 | 0:18:08 | |
testers and you ask them to get it
out there. You bring the story to | 0:18:08 | 0:18:13 | |
the media and you create
storytelling basically. Then it is | 0:18:13 | 0:18:16 | |
picked up. Sorry, you ask a
question. | 0:18:16 | 0:18:23 | |
I know you are fascinated. Pass me
the bag of pasta. I could pass that | 0:18:23 | 0:18:31 | |
all the time, I have got three kids
and it is great. This takes awhile | 0:18:31 | 0:18:36 | |
to cook. How much is it? In terms of
price? That is a little bit over £5. | 0:18:36 | 0:18:46 | |
£5 for a bag of pasta, a bag of
seaweed. How do you overcome | 0:18:46 | 0:18:51 | |
people's perception of it? It is one
of the reasons why we are presenting | 0:18:51 | 0:18:59 | |
it as a healthy good alternative
because people know what to expect | 0:18:59 | 0:19:02 | |
an do with it. Pasta and bacon. If
you give seaweed to people, they | 0:19:02 | 0:19:07 | |
have no clue where to start. You are
selling it as a luxury item. You | 0:19:07 | 0:19:12 | |
will not solve the world's food
crisis with this. We have to start | 0:19:12 | 0:19:17 | |
somewhere. With the wraps we are
introducing we are getting close to | 0:19:17 | 0:19:22 | |
normal price. We must ask about the
sustainability of this. Many people | 0:19:22 | 0:19:31 | |
will be saying do we want the world
food crisis solved by people | 0:19:31 | 0:19:36 | |
harvesting the oceans. What about
the ecosystem of the oceans? | 0:19:36 | 0:19:40 | |
Obviously that is concerned. Firing
of seaweed in a shed space on a | 0:19:40 | 0:19:45 | |
large scale. That is why it is so
good that they came with standards | 0:19:45 | 0:19:52 | |
of harvestable farming. But we have
to get our food from somewhere and | 0:19:52 | 0:19:56 | |
we have more ocean than we have of
land and there is a compelling | 0:19:56 | 0:20:00 | |
reason to look to the ocean for
food. The sea is closer. It is very | 0:20:00 | 0:20:10 | |
salty. That is sea salt obviously.
That is because it is a replacement | 0:20:10 | 0:20:16 | |
for bacon and bacon is salty and
that is why it makes sense. We have | 0:20:16 | 0:20:21 | |
run out of time. Thank you for
coming in and cooking for us, we | 0:20:21 | 0:20:25 | |
appreciate it.
It is good. It is delicious. Seaweed | 0:20:25 | 0:20:30 | |

The boss of global bank
Standard Chartered has been speaking | 0:20:33 | 0:20:35 | |
to our business editor Simon Jack. | 0:20:35 | 0:20:36 | |
He described contingency planning
for Brexit as "expensive, | 0:20:36 | 0:20:38 | |
complicated and inconvenient". | 0:20:38 | 0:20:39 | |
And he's concerned young people
from outside the UK are already | 0:20:39 | 0:20:42 | |
being put off a career in London. | 0:20:42 | 0:20:44 | |
We have already had some setbacks
for the talent pool in London | 0:20:44 | 0:20:47 | |
through the restrictions of student
visas, that is already a problem. | 0:20:47 | 0:20:52 | |
Some of the best talent that we can
have in the UK marketplace | 0:20:52 | 0:20:56 | |
are coming from students who have
chosen to study here and then stayed | 0:20:56 | 0:20:59 | |
for some extended period afterwards. | 0:20:59 | 0:21:01 | |
And you have noticed
that impact already? | 0:21:01 | 0:21:05 | |
We have noticed that impact already
more through a sense from non-UK | 0:21:05 | 0:21:15 | |
foreigners that this might not be
such a hospitable place any longer. | 0:21:18 | 0:21:21 | |
So it is more psychological
psychological than contractual as it | 0:21:21 | 0:21:23 | |
were, but it is something we might
be really careful about. | 0:21:23 | 0:21:26 | |
The UK has been successful largely
because it has been a welcoming | 0:21:26 | 0:21:28 | |
place for talent from any part
of the world. | 0:21:28 | 0:21:31 | |
I know when I listen
to the government spokespeople | 0:21:31 | 0:21:33 | |
they say that that will continue,
that is the intention, | 0:21:33 | 0:21:35 | |
unfortunately not all of the body
language and references | 0:21:35 | 0:21:37 | |
support the rhetoric. | 0:21:37 | 0:21:40 | |
That interview with the boss of
Standard Chartered is on our | 0:21:40 | 0:21:44 | |
website, so if you want to see it in
full, take a look. Maike Currie is | 0:21:44 | 0:21:50 | |
back as promised. | 0:21:50 | 0:21:56 | |
We have got to mention diesel gate.
One of the top executives in the US | 0:21:56 | 0:22:02 | |
behind bars. And he has received the
maximum sentence of five years, so | 0:22:02 | 0:22:06 | |
it will be a deterrent. A few days
ago. Wogan reported it had hit its | 0:22:06 | 0:22:13 | |
targets three years ahead of
schedule. Two years on since the big | 0:22:13 | 0:22:18 | |
scandal it is on track and it is on
the offensive rather than the | 0:22:18 | 0:22:23 | |
defensive. It has managed to say
that was then, this is now. There is | 0:22:23 | 0:22:30 | |
an emphasis also on electric cars.
They will have electric versions by | 0:22:30 | 0:22:36 | |
2025. Absolutely, it has done a
fantastic job. It used this scandal | 0:22:36 | 0:22:41 | |
as a catalyst for change. There was
a lot of concern about brand image | 0:22:41 | 0:22:45 | |
at the time and they have emerged as
the winner. Oliver Schmidt has been | 0:22:45 | 0:22:53 | |
put behind bars because of the
diesel scandal. Let's move on to the | 0:22:53 | 0:22:57 | |
scandal in Shanghai. This coffee
shop is huge. Do we need more coffee | 0:22:57 | 0:23:04 | |
shops? Tell us more about their
expansion. We know China is a | 0:23:04 | 0:23:08 | |
country where T is the favourite
drink, but there is a lot of | 0:23:08 | 0:23:13 | |
interest and Starbucks is reporting
it is opening a new coffee shop | 0:23:13 | 0:23:17 | |
every 15 hours which is staggering.
It is moving into the emerging | 0:23:17 | 0:23:23 | |
world. Starbucks expansion, there
seems to be no holding back right | 0:23:23 | 0:23:29 | |
now. We asked our viewers if they
think we need more coffee shops. | 0:23:29 | 0:23:34 | |
Jill says it is a shame they are not
combining with other shops. | 0:23:34 | 0:23:43 | |
Especially in villages and remote
locations. We have too many bad ones | 0:23:43 | 0:23:50 | |
from calling themselves Artisan and
not many good ones. Are you a fan of | 0:23:50 | 0:23:54 | |
a coffee shop? I am a huge fan of
coffee and coffee takeaways. The | 0:23:54 | 0:24:00 | |
coffee culture in the UK has
exploded and people are a lot more | 0:24:00 | 0:24:03 | |
discerning. They are not going to
big brand names, they are going to | 0:24:03 | 0:24:08 | |
independent coffee shops. Starbucks
in the UK is struggling because of | 0:24:08 | 0:24:13 | |
that, our consumption is changing.
It is more about the experience, | 0:24:13 | 0:24:17 | |
going for coffee and experiencing
something else. One guy in the New | 0:24:17 | 0:24:22 | |
York Times says, once love has
begun, it never ends. He obviously | 0:24:22 | 0:24:27 | |
likes his coffee estimation mark
somebody says there are coffee shops | 0:24:27 | 0:24:34 | |
and there are coffee shops and there
are coffee flavoured frothy milk | 0:24:34 | 0:24:40 | |
shops. 280 calories. There are also
more coffee shops then you can shake | 0:24:40 | 0:24:48 | |
your beans that.
We have far too many bad ones from | 0:24:48 | 0:24:52 | |
calling themselves Artisan and they
are not very good ones. Starbucks | 0:24:52 | 0:24:58 | |
said they would have one on every
single corner. | 0:24:58 | 0:25:01 | |
That was the ambition. If Shanghai
is the way they are going, they are | 0:25:01 | 0:25:06 | |
not holding back. I think the more
choice, the better. Have we got onto | 0:25:06 | 0:25:13 | |
the subject of whether they pay
their taxes? | 0:25:13 | 0:25:15 | |
We have not got time for that. Thank
you so much for coming in, it has | 0:25:15 | 0:25:21 | |
been great having you here. Did you
try that seaweed pasta? No, I will | 0:25:21 | 0:25:25 | |
try it. The Green room is even
greener than ever today. | 0:25:25 | 0:25:33 | |
Because it has got some green pasta.
It takes quite a long time to cook. | 0:25:33 | 0:25:41 | |
40 minutes to soak it in cold water
and 20 minutes to cook. | 0:25:41 | 0:25:44 | |
We have got all the instructions
here. 20 minutes to soak and 20 | 0:25:44 | 0:25:51 | |
minutes to cook it. But it is £5
about. | 0:25:51 | 0:25:54 | |
That is what I am worried about.
That is all from today, join us | 0:25:54 | 0:25:59 | |
again tomorrow. | 0:25:59 | 0:26:01 |
