0:00:06 > 0:00:14This is Business Live from BBC News with Ben Thompson and Sally Bundock.
0:00:14 > 0:00:16The bosses of Facebook, Twitter and YouTube face a grilling
0:00:16 > 0:00:18over the spread of extremist material on the internet.
0:00:18 > 0:00:28Live from London, that's our top story on Wednesday 17th January.
0:00:37 > 0:00:39As the internet giants go from strength to strength,
0:00:39 > 0:00:42do they need to play a greater role in tackling extremism?
0:00:42 > 0:00:45That's the question they'll face in Washington today.
0:00:45 > 0:00:55Also on the grapevine...
0:00:55 > 0:01:05as protectionist policies over wine.
0:01:07 > 0:01:11And we'll be getting a bird's eye view on the world of aerial imagery.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13We'll be speaking to the boss of a company helping businesses
0:01:13 > 0:01:18manage acres of land from the skies.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21Today we want to hear whether you think the social media
0:01:21 > 0:01:23giants are facing enough scrutiny?
0:01:23 > 0:01:25Should they face greater censorship or is this
0:01:25 > 0:01:28an invasion of free speech?
0:01:28 > 0:01:31Let us know.
0:01:31 > 0:01:36Just use the hashtag BBCBizLive.
0:01:44 > 0:01:52Bosses of YouTube, Facebook and Twitter will attend a hearing
0:01:52 > 0:01:55in the US later aimed at tackling the spread of extremist
0:01:55 > 0:01:56content online.
0:01:56 > 0:01:58All three of the platforms have already taken measures to prevent
0:01:58 > 0:02:00terrorist propaganda but politicians around the world say
0:02:00 > 0:02:02more needs to be done.
0:02:02 > 0:02:11Last year, Facebook said it plans to boost its team of moderators
0:02:11 > 0:02:13by more than 3,000.
0:02:13 > 0:02:18And Google says it'll increase the number of people monitoring
0:02:19 > 0:02:20content to a total of 10,000.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22Meanwhile Twitter has already removed around a million accounts
0:02:22 > 0:02:23related to terrorism.
0:02:23 > 0:02:28It's a big concern for governments around the world.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30In Germany for example, firms can be fined over $60 million
0:02:30 > 0:02:32if they fail to take down extremist material.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35In the UK, ministers have suggested tech giants could face punitive
0:02:35 > 0:02:41taxes if they don't do more in the fight against terrorism.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43With me is Richard Kramer, Founder and Managing
0:02:43 > 0:02:47Partner, Arete Research.
0:02:47 > 0:02:51Good morning. What will be achieved at this hearing, if anything?I
0:02:51 > 0:02:56don't think much will come out of it other than the thundering of
0:02:56 > 0:03:03politicians over the role of social media. I think those companies are
0:03:03 > 0:03:06playing, running a very fine line between being traditional
0:03:06 > 0:03:11publishers, which they really are, and saying that they are simply
0:03:11 > 0:03:16neutral platforms for conversation. This is the difficulty. We can't
0:03:16 > 0:03:20seem to come to a conclusion across the board with regards to the answer
0:03:20 > 0:03:29to this issue. Ben was talking about what companies will do to monitor
0:03:29 > 0:03:32material on their platforms, as it were, but how do we solve the
0:03:32 > 0:03:36problem?There are two parts to the problem. Part of it gets solved why
0:03:36 > 0:03:42it being commercial issues for the companies. Twitter has sales that
0:03:42 > 0:03:47are down despite the Trump effect they were expecting. They are not a
0:03:47 > 0:03:51brand safe platform given people can anonymously say almost anything on
0:03:51 > 0:03:56the platform. Looking at a company like Facebook, they have wrestled
0:03:56 > 0:04:02mightily this year with their role in elections and the spread of fake
0:04:02 > 0:04:08news. They have pledged to self regulate. What politicians will be
0:04:08 > 0:04:11looking for is whether these companies will be serious about
0:04:11 > 0:04:14their commitment to regulate their own platforms, or they will have to
0:04:14 > 0:04:22step in themselves. .The issue with Facebook, we will wait to see what
0:04:22 > 0:04:29Robert Mueller will find out, who is leading the special investigation
0:04:29 > 0:04:34into US elections and possible interference from Russia. Where do
0:04:34 > 0:04:37we end up in terms of how the platforms will be managed, if they
0:04:37 > 0:04:43are managed at all, and by whom. Will it be an outside body or an
0:04:43 > 0:04:46onus on the companies themselves, and if it is, at what expense will
0:04:46 > 0:04:51it be to them?In terms of the expense, it's something the
0:04:51 > 0:05:00companies can afford. Google has $100 billion of net cash, Facebook
0:05:00 > 0:05:06has about $40 billion. It doesn't come from the traditional stream of
0:05:06 > 0:05:10revenue, like the BBC. I'm sure when you started as a journalist you were
0:05:10 > 0:05:15given strict instructions about the type of language you could use on
0:05:15 > 0:05:18air. Those platforms have not restricted themselves in the name of
0:05:18 > 0:05:23free speech on the conversation they want to have.The people using those
0:05:23 > 0:05:27platforms are not employees of the organisation. As a BBC employee I
0:05:27 > 0:05:31have a duty of care. Somebody putting out a tweet doesn't have any
0:05:31 > 0:05:38sense of that. It's just sharing their opinion.Looking at Google for
0:05:38 > 0:05:41example in the United States, they do offer a television service, and
0:05:41 > 0:05:45in that sense they are a traditional publisher. These companies behave
0:05:45 > 0:05:50very much as traditional publishers do, but they don't want to have the
0:05:50 > 0:05:52same regulatory regime or obligations as traditional
0:05:52 > 0:05:57publishers do. I think it's only a matter of time before there is some
0:05:57 > 0:06:01balance struck between the public content and what is separated out as
0:06:01 > 0:06:05the comments of individuals on the platforms, in the same way as you
0:06:05 > 0:06:15have rules for comments sections on newspapers.Thank you for your
0:06:15 > 0:06:21analysis and thoughts, Richard. It's a tricky problem to try to resolve.
0:06:21 > 0:06:25We would like your ideas and comments and thoughts. A lot of you
0:06:25 > 0:06:28getting in touch already, keep them coming in.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31Let's take a look at some of the other stories
0:06:31 > 0:06:32making the news...
0:06:32 > 0:06:45British luxury brand Burberry has reported a 2 percent drop in revenue
0:06:45 > 0:06:47for the three months to end of December.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50It comes after sales in Europe slipped against a year ago,
0:06:50 > 0:06:53when a fall in the pound helped it perform well in its home market.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55Nestle will sell its US confectionery business to Ferrero
0:06:55 > 0:06:58for almost $3 billion as it focuses on healthier products.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01The Italian company beat out Hershey and others for the candy unit,
0:07:01 > 0:07:04which includes brands like Crunch and Butterfinger.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06The maker of Nutella will now become the world's third
0:07:06 > 0:07:11largest chocolate company.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13Nestle says it wants to focus on bottled water and baby
0:07:13 > 0:07:14food for future growth.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16Ford has reported earnings for last year that came
0:07:16 > 0:07:21in below expectations.
0:07:21 > 0:07:26And its forecast for this year is also lower than forecast.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28The car maker's shares fell more than 2%
0:07:28 > 0:07:29in after hours trading.
0:07:29 > 0:07:34The firm said higher costs for metals and other materials,
0:07:34 > 0:07:36as well as currency volatility, could cost it
0:07:36 > 0:07:39$1.6 billion this year.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41Australia has filed a trade complaint against Canada
0:07:41 > 0:07:43to the World Trade Organization, over its strict rules
0:07:43 > 0:07:46on imported wine.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49This follows a similar complaint by the United States last year
0:07:49 > 0:07:52over the same issue.
0:07:52 > 0:07:57Leisha Santorelli is in Singapore with more on this.
0:07:57 > 0:08:03It's interesting how so many people can get so animated about wine, but
0:08:03 > 0:08:08it's a big export for Australia. Absolutely, both the US and
0:08:08 > 0:08:12Australia want equal access to Canada's wine market because it is
0:08:12 > 0:08:20worth an estimated $7 billion. A very important market for them. The
0:08:20 > 0:08:23complaint by Australia about Canada to the WTO is the first time they
0:08:23 > 0:08:26have done it in the history of the organisation. Canada is Australia's
0:08:26 > 0:08:31fourth biggest wine market, and in the complaint Australia complains a
0:08:31 > 0:08:34number of provinces in Canada discriminate against wines produced
0:08:34 > 0:08:39overseas. The provinces in question are British Columbia, Ontario,
0:08:39 > 0:08:43Quebec and Nova Scotia. Many provinces implementing higher prices
0:08:43 > 0:08:49as well as sales taxes on imported wine. In British Columbia for
0:08:49 > 0:08:53example, imported wine has to be sold in a separate section of the
0:08:53 > 0:08:57supermarket. Basically, it's a store within a store and it even has a
0:08:57 > 0:09:02separate cash registers, so it might prevent people going to buy foreign
0:09:02 > 0:09:08wine. Australia's Trade Minister, in the complaint, in the press release,
0:09:08 > 0:09:12has said Canada's protectionist policies has the potential to
0:09:12 > 0:09:17threaten jobs in Australia and so under WTO rules, because of the
0:09:17 > 0:09:21complaint, Canada has 60 days to settle it before it can be escalated
0:09:21 > 0:09:27further.They just need to sit down over a bottle of wine and sort it
0:09:27 > 0:09:33out.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36Hong Kong stocks hit their highest ever level in late trade
0:09:36 > 0:09:39on Wednesday, a day after posting a record close despite losses
0:09:39 > 0:09:44on Wall Street, where investors cashed in after a strong run of data
0:09:44 > 0:09:48and ever-rising markets.
0:09:48 > 0:09:53In Europe - expected to follow that downbeat mood from Wall Street too -
0:09:53 > 0:09:55suggesting we might see some sort of pullback from those record
0:09:55 > 0:10:03highs we've seen of late.
0:10:03 > 0:10:08The US market given a boost by the tax cut in the United States.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11And in the back of the mind of investors is the potential US
0:10:11 > 0:10:13government shutdown at the weekend - if the row over budgets
0:10:13 > 0:10:15doesn't get resolved.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18A small dip in oil prices also one to keep an eye on.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21More on that ina moment, but first Samira has
0:10:21 > 0:10:25the details about what's ahead on Wall Street today.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27On Wednesday, the US Federal Reserve, America's central
0:10:27 > 0:10:29bank, will release the beige book.
0:10:29 > 0:10:33It is published in advance of Fed meetings and is reallly
0:10:33 > 0:10:35a compilation of economic conditions as reported by each Federal Reserve
0:10:35 > 0:10:37Bank across the country.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40So why is it called the beige book?
0:10:40 > 0:10:44Well, the cover is beige, of course.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46Bank earnings continue on Wednesday with Goldman Sachs and Bank
0:10:46 > 0:10:49of America reporting.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52Trading revenues are expected to be weaker but most analysts are pretty
0:10:52 > 0:10:54optimistic about banking as a whole.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57One reason of course is the continued economic growth
0:10:57 > 0:11:01and the Federal Reserve continuing to raise interest rates.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04The other big factor contributing to better results for banks
0:11:04 > 0:11:11is the passage of the tax reform.
0:11:11 > 0:11:20We were just having a chuckle over her explanation of the beige book. I
0:11:20 > 0:11:25didn't know that, and I'm the central bank geek!I knew it but I
0:11:25 > 0:11:33have spent a lot of time stood outside the Federal reserve.There
0:11:33 > 0:11:38is a lot going on, as ever. What's catching your attention? A lot of
0:11:38 > 0:11:42people watching Bond markets right now.That seems to be where investor
0:11:42 > 0:11:46attention is right now. They have been very quiet over the last few
0:11:46 > 0:11:54years and have done very well as investors focus on a middle view
0:11:54 > 0:11:59outcome. Some of those factors seem to be changing and bond markets are
0:11:59 > 0:12:03weakened since the year end and investors are focused on that. As
0:12:03 > 0:12:07our governments, given as the price of money they are borrowing gap.If
0:12:07 > 0:12:13bond markets are weakened, what's the impact?It increases the price
0:12:13 > 0:12:17of money for governments. So they have to pay more to settle their
0:12:17 > 0:12:21debts. Governments have been borrowing cheaply for a long time.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24But every bit of borrowing in the private sector is priced of the
0:12:24 > 0:12:28government bond rate and that rate has gone up in the last few weeks.
0:12:28 > 0:12:32That is the centre of attention for investors, as to whether it's an
0:12:32 > 0:12:36opportunity to buy, or whether it's a turnaround from 20 years of bond
0:12:36 > 0:12:41market strengths and we have seen.A word on Carillion as the saga
0:12:41 > 0:12:51continues. The fallout of supplies. Inter service is a firm that is very
0:12:51 > 0:12:55similar to Carillion.It does some very similar things, particularly in
0:12:55 > 0:12:59the support service side. There is a lot of focus on that business. Some
0:12:59 > 0:13:03of it is the nature of the business. Long-term contracts can be quite low
0:13:03 > 0:13:07margin so in essence those companies are guessing how the contract will
0:13:07 > 0:13:10progress over the length and there is a lot of debate how one accounts
0:13:10 > 0:13:14for the contract. They are different companies, but at the end of the
0:13:14 > 0:13:18day, it's the nature of that sort of business, and it's under some
0:13:18 > 0:13:22scrutiny at the moment.Richard, you will be back later in the programme
0:13:22 > 0:13:27to talk about all sorts. We have lots of interesting stories coming.
0:13:27 > 0:13:28Still to come...
0:13:28 > 0:13:31We'll tell you how you can keep a close eye on your business
0:13:31 > 0:13:33from thousands of miles away.
0:13:33 > 0:13:38You're with Business Live from BBC News.
0:13:44 > 0:13:46Let's get more on the Carillion story.
0:13:46 > 0:13:49It's deadline day for private contractors who supplied
0:13:49 > 0:13:52construction firm Carillion, which collapsed on Monday.
0:13:52 > 0:13:5548 hours later, they are having government support
0:13:55 > 0:14:00withdrawn, leaving some with huge unpaid bills.
0:14:00 > 0:14:05BBC business correspondent Jonty Bloom joins us now.
0:14:05 > 0:14:10Talk us through this end of deadline, what does it mean?It
0:14:10 > 0:14:14basically means people working on private sector projects are left
0:14:14 > 0:14:16swinging in the wind. They don't know if they will be paid. They
0:14:16 > 0:14:20don't know who will take over the contract. It's very worrying for
0:14:20 > 0:14:24them. And also many subcontractors for Carillion, and there will have
0:14:24 > 0:14:29been thousands, if not tens of thousands, will be looking at its
0:14:29 > 0:14:32books and basically what the accountants are saying is they will
0:14:32 > 0:14:39be lucky if they get 1p in the pound of the money Carillion owes them.
0:14:39 > 0:14:42They will have to write off all that money they were due from the company
0:14:42 > 0:14:46they were expecting to earn, because they will not get it.In the
0:14:46 > 0:14:58meantime, shares in Interserve have fallen today.It's difficult to say
0:14:58 > 0:15:01if they will be the next Carillion, but they are a similar company and
0:15:01 > 0:15:06they have also put out a profits warning. The similarity ends there.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09Carillion had expanded very rapidly, with large overseas contracts that
0:15:09 > 0:15:14hadn't been paid. They ran out of money and the banks and government
0:15:14 > 0:15:17refused to support it any further. It went very quickly from a company
0:15:17 > 0:15:20that people thought was worth hundreds of millions, if not
0:15:20 > 0:15:24billions, to a company that owed billions of pounds. No sign that
0:15:24 > 0:15:29Interserve is like that, but the worry is most of Carillion's value
0:15:29 > 0:15:32was those contracts. When it's turned out the contracts were not
0:15:32 > 0:15:35making money, the value plummeted very quickly.
0:15:40 > 0:15:44Thank you so much. Jonty Bloom, one of our team in the business unit
0:15:44 > 0:15:51trying to stay on top of this Carillion story.
0:15:51 > 0:15:57Speaking on Radio 4 this morning, Carillion executives should forego
0:15:57 > 0:16:02their bonuses. It seems incredible this is even being spoken about but
0:16:02 > 0:16:09the shadow Chief Secretary to the Treasury has adjusted that should be
0:16:09 > 0:16:12the case, they say they are owed them, but he is then the moral point
0:16:12 > 0:16:17is that they should not take their bonuses. The full interview is on
0:16:17 > 0:16:21the website.
0:16:22 > 0:16:23You're watching Business Live.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26Our top story - bosses of YouTube, Facebook and Twitter will attend
0:16:26 > 0:16:28a hearing in the US aimed at tackling the spread
0:16:28 > 0:16:34of extremist content online.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36All three of the platforms have already taken measures
0:16:36 > 0:16:38to prevent terrorist propaganda but politicians around the world say
0:16:38 > 0:16:48more needs to be done.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51What if there was a sort of baby monitor for businesses
0:16:51 > 0:16:54that allowed companies to check up on their projects, even if they're
0:16:54 > 0:16:55not on site to see them?
0:16:55 > 0:16:58Our next guest has a firm that lets companies do just that.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01It uses the latest technology to access more than 150 earth
0:17:01 > 0:17:07satellites from commercial operators that can curate 10 million square
0:17:07 > 0:17:13kilometres of new images every day.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15The construction industry is key to their client base.
0:17:15 > 0:17:18They monitor more than 15,000 construction sites over
0:17:18 > 0:17:24the Middle East, North Africa, China, North America and Europe.
0:17:24 > 0:17:30With us is Corentin Guillo, the founder and Chief
0:17:30 > 0:17:34Executive of Bird.i.
0:17:34 > 0:17:38Nice to see you. Thanks for coming in. As soon as I heard about your
0:17:38 > 0:17:43company today and read the information, I thought, why do I
0:17:43 > 0:17:50need you?There is Google maps. I think that's a good question and one
0:17:50 > 0:17:54we ask, but what you have to keep in mind is that that is just a snapshot
0:17:54 > 0:18:00of the planet and the data is very out of date. In the main cities in
0:18:00 > 0:18:04the world, the data is replaced every six months, outside cities,
0:18:04 > 0:18:11every two years and outside that, every five years. We have satellites
0:18:11 > 0:18:16which are available but not access markets.Give us an example of where
0:18:16 > 0:18:20this would be useful.The satellites, I think it is
0:18:20 > 0:18:23interesting to understand how the satellites work. They orbit around
0:18:23 > 0:18:29the Earth on a global basis, but they also depend on weather
0:18:29 > 0:18:35conditions. He could get access to satellite images all over the world
0:18:35 > 0:18:38but the countries in the Middle East are good for this because the
0:18:38 > 0:18:42weather is good. At the start of the bird.i story, we discovered that
0:18:42 > 0:18:47construction companies in the Middle East are really ready for this
0:18:47 > 0:18:50technology because the market there is growing so quickly that they
0:18:50 > 0:18:56cannot keep up-to-date with it.We have been looking at pictures of the
0:18:56 > 0:18:59Middle East and when you see a construction site, you can zoom
0:18:59 > 0:19:04right in and see what work has been done, what is still outstanding. But
0:19:04 > 0:19:08why can't you use something like Skype? They could hold it up on the
0:19:08 > 0:19:13ground and show you? What do you get from this that you can't get from
0:19:13 > 0:19:17other technology.I think the main value of this is that its evidence.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20You have a photo that shows you what it looks like today and you cannot
0:19:20 > 0:19:28argue with this. It takes a lot of time to call contractors if you have
0:19:28 > 0:19:3315,000 sites. With the satellite imagery and the information we
0:19:33 > 0:19:38extract, you have an up-to-date view of the site and you are also told
0:19:38 > 0:19:43when the site starts and stops to progress.When you told me about the
0:19:43 > 0:19:49costs of it, I must admit, I thought, wow, that's expensive. But
0:19:49 > 0:19:54to an individual, it's expensive, but to businesses, it's not really,
0:19:54 > 0:20:01is it, in terms of what it is saving them?No. For individuals, they are
0:20:01 > 0:20:05not educated to start using this type of business because they have
0:20:05 > 0:20:17Google maps and that is enough. But for businesses, using this
0:20:17 > 0:20:24differently, consuming the images could cost you 5000. We have a
0:20:24 > 0:20:31system where people can subscribe and then they pay the one price to
0:20:31 > 0:20:36find all the images.You are a Frenchman he decided to start your
0:20:36 > 0:20:44company in Scotland? Why?When I started the company, I moved from
0:20:44 > 0:20:50being at the London Oxford area to Scotland because they build more
0:20:50 > 0:20:57spacecraft than any whereas in the world. They have fantastic
0:20:57 > 0:21:02universities and talent there and I knew I could not do this on my own.
0:21:02 > 0:21:06Richard Dunbar, our other guest in the wings is cheering what you just
0:21:06 > 0:21:10said. The Scotland connection.
0:21:10 > 0:21:16Thanks very much for coming in. It's been absolutely fascinating.
0:21:16 > 0:21:21We are going to talk more about what is in the newspapers, specifically
0:21:21 > 0:21:27about the US and how the tax cuts that are affecting people. Before
0:21:27 > 0:21:30that, how you can get in touch with us.
0:21:30 > 0:21:35Stay up-to-date on the BBC's business live page with information
0:21:35 > 0:21:39from our team of editors right around the globe. We also want to
0:21:39 > 0:21:44hear from you. Get involved on the BBC's business live page.
0:21:52 > 0:21:56Business live, on TV and online. What you need to know, when you need
0:21:56 > 0:22:00to know. So, we asked you to get involved and
0:22:00 > 0:22:04you have done today. It has been brilliant to your views on our top
0:22:04 > 0:22:09story which has been about the likes of Twitter, Facebook, YouTube
0:22:09 > 0:22:13getting a grilling in the United States about extremist material on
0:22:13 > 0:22:18their platforms. What have people been saying? Trevor
0:22:18 > 0:22:21says, no, no more regulation because who defines what is extremist?
0:22:21 > 0:22:27Another one said would it really sells the problem because then
0:22:27 > 0:22:31another one just springs up. If you regulate one, you have to regulate
0:22:31 > 0:22:37them all. Lies shouldn't be unchallenged,
0:22:37 > 0:22:43assuming all of the material is false, some of it is not.
0:22:43 > 0:22:49Another one says terrorism is go too wired now for anything to generate
0:22:49 > 0:22:55clicks. More on that later when they are
0:22:55 > 0:23:01called to account over the spread of online extremist content.
0:23:01 > 0:23:07Richard is back, as promised. Why are Facebook, Twitter etc in the
0:23:07 > 0:23:17news for other reasons today?They are very well run companies, we all
0:23:17 > 0:23:20use their products, but there is a lot of focus today on the media
0:23:20 > 0:23:26power that they have and whether that power is being properly used. I
0:23:26 > 0:23:34think the regulators are firmly parked on these company's lawns and
0:23:34 > 0:23:39what's important is that these companies have led to the rise in
0:23:39 > 0:23:45the markets Wall Street, and if that charge was to falter at all, that
0:23:45 > 0:23:49would have implications for the broader stock market.They certainly
0:23:49 > 0:23:53have led the charge, there is no doubt about that. The share price
0:23:53 > 0:23:57increase last year was quite something. With those in your
0:23:57 > 0:24:02portfolio, you'd be loving, wouldn't you? Their profits have followed. I
0:24:02 > 0:24:05know Twitter, our previous guest was saying is not doing so well, but the
0:24:05 > 0:24:11rest of them are, aren't they?They are. You are absolutely right. We
0:24:11 > 0:24:16are starting to see profits and cash being generated by these companies
0:24:16 > 0:24:22and expectations of decent profits and cash flow going forwards. If
0:24:22 > 0:24:25regulators and politicians tanks are parked on the lawns, that is a
0:24:25 > 0:24:36problem for these companies, I suspect.Shall we talk about the
0:24:36 > 0:24:52Markel sparkle, as it is being called?The story is that what
0:24:52 > 0:25:00Meghan Markle wares will drive business.How do they work this out?
0:25:00 > 0:25:06I suspect it would be getting rather than forecasting.I know the wedding
0:25:06 > 0:25:10well contribute to the economy but the point of this article is that it
0:25:10 > 0:25:15overtakes Kate Middleton.Time will towel. It is interesting that both
0:25:15 > 0:25:23Kate and Meghan, the whole group have used that power to promote
0:25:23 > 0:25:27British business and expertise, they recognise the power they have and I
0:25:27 > 0:25:30think they have used it well over the years.What are you going to be
0:25:30 > 0:25:36doing on maybe... Maybe 18?
0:25:36 > 0:25:41I'm not sure. I should have researched it.
0:25:41 > 0:25:46It is a Saturday, isn't it, so no day off.
0:25:46 > 0:25:50No, we are not getting a day off. That would have boosted the economy.
0:25:50 > 0:25:57Or maybe it wouldn't.I await instructions on what I am doing on
0:25:57 > 0:26:03that day.Did you find out the date? No, I didn't.
