As 2016 draws to a close, we are going to look back on a year which | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
featured two events which will shape the global economy for decades to | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
come. Welcome to Business Live's review of 2016. Yep, this year saw | :00:00. | :00:23. | |
the UK take that momentous decision to leave the European Union. We are | :00:24. | :00:27. | |
going to take a look at what lies in store for the next 12 months. And he | :00:28. | :00:33. | |
did it. The billionaire businessman Donald Trump wins the race for the | :00:34. | :00:37. | |
White House. He has made some bold announcements, what was it all talk | :00:38. | :00:42. | |
and no action? And of course, it has been a turbulent year for the global | :00:43. | :00:46. | |
market. Oil prices hit that historic low. There is light at the end of | :00:47. | :00:50. | |
the tunnel. And of course, following a landmark deal between members of | :00:51. | :00:57. | |
the OPEC countries. And exploding phones, driverless cars and virtual | :00:58. | :01:02. | |
reality. It has been an eventful 12 months in the world of tech but what | :01:03. | :01:06. | |
can we look forward to in 2017? We will speak to our resident gadget | :01:07. | :01:17. | |
guru. And indeed, a very warm welcome to a very special edition of | :01:18. | :01:23. | |
Business Live. This year saw two of the biggest political results of the | :01:24. | :01:27. | |
decade, as the recent trend towards globalisation kind of took a step | :01:28. | :01:31. | |
back. There are now dark clouds of uncertainty hanging over two of the | :01:32. | :01:35. | |
world's biggest economies, Europe and the United States. So let's | :01:36. | :01:38. | |
start by taking a look back at what happened following the UK's decision | :01:39. | :01:43. | |
to leave the European Union. Tonight at 10pm, the voters decide that | :01:44. | :01:48. | |
after four decades it is time for Britain to leave the European Union. | :01:49. | :01:52. | |
I do not think it would be right for me to try to be the captain that | :01:53. | :01:56. | |
steers our country to its next destination. Across Asia today we | :01:57. | :02:01. | |
have seen shares fall on the major markets, like Japan's Nikkei, down | :02:02. | :02:06. | |
more than 7%. Now look what happened, it tumbled down to levels | :02:07. | :02:10. | |
not seen since the 1980s. Many people in the financial markets, | :02:11. | :02:13. | |
caught perhaps unawares by this decision. Brexit means Brexit, and | :02:14. | :02:18. | |
we are going to make a success of it. It is a victory against the big | :02:19. | :02:23. | |
merchant banks, against the big businesses, and against big | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
politics. At the end of the day, Jamie Dunn, JP Morgan, | :02:29. | :02:36. | |
gold-medallist Goldman Sachs, have a good holiday. Because I will give | :02:37. | :02:40. | |
you a clue guys, you will be back. We are joined by economics editor, | :02:41. | :02:44. | |
Ahmed. We thought Brexit back in the summer. We are looking ahead to | :02:45. | :02:54. | |
2017. Where do we stand in terms of UK negotiations? Every thing looks | :02:55. | :02:57. | |
so uncertain, doesn't it? I think the phoney war will come to an end. | :02:58. | :03:01. | |
Obviously Britain voted to leave the European Union in June, and actually | :03:02. | :03:04. | |
the practicalities of that will start next year. So the British | :03:05. | :03:07. | |
government wants to spark what is called Article 50, that starts the | :03:08. | :03:11. | |
process of exit, by the end of March. That is a two you process, so | :03:12. | :03:17. | |
that process should be completed, we think, by 2019. I think their | :03:18. | :03:22. | |
attentions on both sides. In Britain there are tensions between those who | :03:23. | :03:26. | |
want what is called a hired Brexit, fully out of the single market, out | :03:27. | :03:30. | |
of the customs union, able to sign trade deals around the world itself, | :03:31. | :03:35. | |
with no reference to the European Union, and those that want a softer | :03:36. | :03:41. | |
Brexit. Still having preferential access to the single market, | :03:42. | :03:44. | |
possibly still in the customs union. That is attention on one side. On | :03:45. | :03:48. | |
the European side, the 27 other member states, there are tensions | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
between those who want to ensure that Britain doesn't get a better | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
deal by coming out of the European Union, politically unpalatable as | :03:57. | :03:59. | |
that is, but also Britain is the second largest economy in Europe. | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
They don't want to set up trade barriers such that the European | :04:04. | :04:07. | |
economy itself suffers by losing the British market. And of course | :04:08. | :04:11. | |
London, the city, is one of the global leading financial centres. | :04:12. | :04:15. | |
Europe needs the city to fund its own businesses. Indeed it does. | :04:16. | :04:20. | |
Talking of financials, let's bring up the motherboard, because I want | :04:21. | :04:24. | |
to talk about that. We can bring it up, because I want to talk about the | :04:25. | :04:29. | |
FTSE and the pound. This is how they ended as of the 20 -- 21st of | :04:30. | :04:38. | |
December. Everyone talked about how if there was a vote for Brexit we | :04:39. | :04:42. | |
would see that pound plunge. Exactly, investors would think that | :04:43. | :04:46. | |
assets in the UK may be less valuable in the future so that money | :04:47. | :04:49. | |
would be better employed on the European continent, and frankly in | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
America, and so the pound has fallen in value. I think what is | :04:54. | :04:56. | |
interesting, and maybe slightly more surprising, is how good equities | :04:57. | :05:00. | |
have been and the markets have been. I think in a way although Brexit is | :05:01. | :05:06. | |
incredibly important, politically and economically, the fundamentals | :05:07. | :05:09. | |
haven't changed that much yet. And so equities are still very | :05:10. | :05:14. | |
attractive, because of the hyper low interest rates, very loose monetary | :05:15. | :05:17. | |
policy, no signal yet from Britain, really. The central bank in the UK | :05:18. | :05:22. | |
or the central bank in Europe, that interest rates are going to rise any | :05:23. | :05:25. | |
time soon, and certainly not quickly. So the equities run has | :05:26. | :05:30. | |
been very powerful. Of course, a lot of those equities in the FTSE, the | :05:31. | :05:34. | |
London market, are companies that are global. The profits are in | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
dollars, and so as sterling falls, their profits actually... Yes, their | :05:39. | :05:42. | |
actual profits are then sparked upwards. So you get to a situation | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
where those equities are doing rather well. So you have this sort | :05:47. | :05:50. | |
of clash, equities positive, sterling having a tough time. You | :05:51. | :05:54. | |
touched on Europe, the European project, how is it looking going | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
into 2017? Again, Brexit is important, but I wouldn't suggest it | :05:59. | :06:03. | |
is the most important thing going on in Europe in 2017. You have | :06:04. | :06:06. | |
elections in the Netherlands, you have elections in France, you have | :06:07. | :06:09. | |
elections in Germany, and each of those elections will be a big test | :06:10. | :06:13. | |
about the kind of Europe that the voters in Europe want. A reformed | :06:14. | :06:18. | |
Europe, they still want higher levels of unemployment, problems | :06:19. | :06:21. | |
with growth, what types of Europe will people who support the project, | :06:22. | :06:25. | |
when those elections, or will people who want to rip up the project and | :06:26. | :06:29. | |
cause more tension in Europe and possibly split up the European | :06:30. | :06:33. | |
Union, will they went? Is going to be a fascinating year. We are going | :06:34. | :06:37. | |
to wrap it up, but let's put the cards on the table. Could we see a | :06:38. | :06:41. | |
European shock like we have seen Brexit, and the election of Donald | :06:42. | :06:45. | |
Trump? All the polls, I know we have to be very careful, all the polls | :06:46. | :06:49. | |
suggest not, but at the end of 2017, what might be described as the | :06:50. | :06:53. | |
establishment parties have read... Put themselves back at the centre of | :06:54. | :06:57. | |
Europe. The European project is incredibly important to the European | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
governments, at the end of 2017, at the polls suggest, that they will | :07:02. | :07:04. | |
look more victorious than those who want to break up the European Union. | :07:05. | :07:10. | |
One thing we learnt this year was don't listen to the polls! Thank you | :07:11. | :07:15. | |
for your time this year, happy New Year. Thank you, and to you. The | :07:16. | :07:20. | |
other UK's decision to leave the European Union certainly surprised | :07:21. | :07:23. | |
the markets but investors didn't have to wait long for the next | :07:24. | :07:27. | |
upset. He did it, the billionaire businessman Donald Trump swept to | :07:28. | :07:30. | |
power in certainly one of the most divisive political campaigns in | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
living memory. That's take a look back at some of those highlights. | :07:35. | :07:40. | |
Right now 92 million Americans are on the sideline, outside of the | :07:41. | :07:44. | |
workforce, and they are not a part of our economy. It is a silent | :07:45. | :07:49. | |
nation of jobless Americans. Donald was one of the people who rooted the | :07:50. | :07:53. | |
housing crisis. He said back in 2006, gee, I hope it does collapse | :07:54. | :08:00. | |
because then I can go in and buy some and makes money. Well, it did | :08:01. | :08:03. | |
collapse. That is core business. 9 million people. We will build the | :08:04. | :08:09. | |
wall, 100%, and Mexico will be paying for the wall. Just imagine | :08:10. | :08:15. | |
how many more automobile jobs will be lost if the TPP is actually | :08:16. | :08:24. | |
approved. It will be catastrophic. We can't continue to allow China to | :08:25. | :08:28. | |
rape our country, and that is what they are doing. Donald J Trump, the | :08:29. | :08:33. | |
billionaire property developer with no previous experience of public | :08:34. | :08:38. | |
office, is the 45th President of the United States. Companies are not | :08:39. | :08:46. | |
going to leave the United States any more, without consequence. It is not | :08:47. | :08:50. | |
going to happen. It's not going to happen. Our number one priority is | :08:51. | :09:00. | |
going to be the economy, getting back to 324% growth, we believe that | :09:01. | :09:04. | |
is very sustainable, and focus on things for the American worker. That | :09:05. | :09:15. | |
is absolutely a priority. Nice, thunderous music there. I love it, I | :09:16. | :09:21. | |
love the drama. A former White House adviser is here to add to the drama. | :09:22. | :09:33. | |
And Pippa, you did it. You picked Brexit and he picked Trump. When you | :09:34. | :09:37. | |
want to talk about the economics, Trump's vision for the economy. This | :09:38. | :09:43. | |
is what we have been hearing day in and out over the last couple of | :09:44. | :09:47. | |
weeks. The team that he is building, what do you make of it? Last one was | :09:48. | :09:51. | |
Mr Navarro, who wrote one of his books, death by China. Yes, exactly. | :09:52. | :09:57. | |
One thing that is interesting, here's picking people with very | :09:58. | :10:01. | |
different points of view. They will have a Cabinet which actually | :10:02. | :10:04. | |
argues, which may not be a bad thing. They are going to have | :10:05. | :10:08. | |
debates and proper punch-ups about what is the right direction to go. | :10:09. | :10:12. | |
So that is one thing. Second thing, the establishment is very upset | :10:13. | :10:15. | |
about all these new people, because they are not. The electorate said | :10:16. | :10:20. | |
they want the establishment out, I want something new in, something | :10:21. | :10:23. | |
that looks after my interest more. That is what I think they are going | :10:24. | :10:27. | |
to deliver. It is kind of... I think someone described it as bonfire of | :10:28. | :10:32. | |
the agencies. Trump has been brought into literally burn the house down | :10:33. | :10:36. | |
and start again, reconstruct this thing, and Washington was overgrown | :10:37. | :10:40. | |
in many ways. So will they be accidents along the way? Look, every | :10:41. | :10:44. | |
president makes mistakes, so we are going to see those for sure. But on | :10:45. | :10:48. | |
the other hand, the upside here may be greater than people expect. Just | :10:49. | :10:51. | |
because they don't like him personally, but the markets are | :10:52. | :10:54. | |
going to like his policies. We have seen that with the Dow, haven't we? | :10:55. | :11:00. | |
The wild card, though, is straight and the trade policy, and whether | :11:01. | :11:04. | |
that is going to harm growth in the future. What is your take on that? | :11:05. | :11:08. | |
So again, I suspect, I don't know, these are my personal views, but I | :11:09. | :11:13. | |
think that there is a lot of bluster about trade policy. But in the end, | :11:14. | :11:18. | |
what they want to do is sell more American goods, have better quality | :11:19. | :11:22. | |
imports, so the end goal is to actually have trade, they just won't | :11:23. | :11:27. | |
use that word. We will hear free trade less and less. We will hear | :11:28. | :11:32. | |
more things like smart business. But does it really mean something | :11:33. | :11:36. | |
profoundly different? Maybe not. Because they are saying you can't | :11:37. | :11:39. | |
see the US as an island, it can't just act as an island. It has to | :11:40. | :11:43. | |
trade in the world. It does, although to be fair, less than 2% of | :11:44. | :11:48. | |
US GDP depends on exports, so as a nation we are incredibly lucky. We | :11:49. | :11:53. | |
can be an engine even if the rest of the world is in growing very well. | :11:54. | :11:56. | |
Traders are relatively small part our economy, compared to most | :11:57. | :11:59. | |
others. So they do something to keep in mind. Good to talk to you, Pippa. | :12:00. | :12:05. | |
Thank you very much indeed. Still to come, exploding phones, driverless | :12:06. | :12:09. | |
cars, and virtual reality. It has all been a very eventful 12 months | :12:10. | :12:13. | |
in the world of tech. But what can we look forward to in 2017? We are | :12:14. | :12:18. | |
going to find out, we will speak to the group, Rory Cellan-Jones. You | :12:19. | :12:24. | |
are watching Is this Live from BBC News. Throughout the show we have | :12:25. | :12:28. | |
been hearing about how the events of 2016 are set to shake the business | :12:29. | :12:33. | |
landscape for years to come. 2017 is set to be a busy year. The BBC's | :12:34. | :12:39. | |
Theo Leggatt has a timeline of key events in the next 12 months. In | :12:40. | :12:43. | |
January, President-elect Donald Trump enters the White House. | :12:44. | :12:48. | |
Onlookers will be keen to see if it follows through with plans to | :12:49. | :12:51. | |
restrict trade and inject hundreds of billions of dollars into the US | :12:52. | :12:55. | |
economy. Fast forward a couple of months and we will see the first big | :12:56. | :12:59. | |
development in the Brexit story. The UK prime minister says she will | :13:00. | :13:03. | |
trigger Article 50 by the end of March. This is when Britain can | :13:04. | :13:06. | |
start formal negotiations with the European Union, and we may begin to | :13:07. | :13:10. | |
see what the new relationship could look like in years to come. This is | :13:11. | :13:14. | |
of course crucial to the future of the EU project. France is one other | :13:15. | :13:23. | |
country which we -- will be paying close attention. The far right | :13:24. | :13:30. | |
candidate Marine Le Pen is riding high on NT Europe sentiment which is | :13:31. | :13:36. | |
sweeping the globe. She is a staunch Eurosceptic so there could be bad | :13:37. | :13:39. | |
news for Brussels of Shias voted into power. In Germany it is a | :13:40. | :13:43. | |
similar picture. Recent events have seen Chancellor Angela Merkel come | :13:44. | :13:46. | |
under fire for her opendoor migrant policy. The public could go to the | :13:47. | :13:52. | |
polls as early as August 27. The German leader has seen a steady | :13:53. | :13:55. | |
decline in her popularity ratings over the last few years. 2016 is | :13:56. | :13:59. | |
anything to go by, the next 12 months could be very interesting | :14:00. | :14:01. | |
indeed. Looking at the markets, and starting | :14:02. | :14:12. | |
the stocks in Europe. The sterling down 16%, pretty much expected. But | :14:13. | :14:16. | |
the FTSE is up some 13%. The European market gained. Not a bad | :14:17. | :14:23. | |
year. This is up until December the 20th. You call it the quid, I call | :14:24. | :14:29. | |
it this way. In the US, in terms of the Dow Jones, a rise of around 15% | :14:30. | :14:35. | |
this year -- the screen. Anticipating that Donald Trump may | :14:36. | :14:38. | |
follow through with his trillion dollar spending plan. It could | :14:39. | :14:43. | |
provide a boost to many major American companies, let's admit it, | :14:44. | :14:47. | |
they need it. It is borrow and build, but maybe they don't need to | :14:48. | :14:51. | |
borrow. Many investors may throw their money into infrastructure. | :14:52. | :14:57. | |
You are watching Business Live, review 2016. Events of the past 12 | :14:58. | :15:05. | |
months have made for a turbulent year in global markets. The price of | :15:06. | :15:10. | |
the black stuff, oil, was already added to point for a decade. This | :15:11. | :15:15. | |
had investors wondering whether the market could get any lower. In | :15:16. | :15:19. | |
January, Eranga return to international markets following the | :15:20. | :15:23. | |
lifting of Western sanctions, and crude fell below $20 per barrel -- | :15:24. | :15:29. | |
Iran. It proved to be short lived. The market rallied some of that | :15:30. | :15:32. | |
oversupply left the market, if you will. In September, some of the | :15:33. | :15:37. | |
world's leading oil-producing nations managed to reach a landmark | :15:38. | :15:41. | |
agreement to the first time in November in over eight years. | :15:42. | :15:45. | |
Members of OPEC struck a deal to limit production. Initially, the | :15:46. | :15:51. | |
market had it doubts that the deal were told, but after Iran and Saudi | :15:52. | :15:56. | |
Arabia agreed to resolve their differences, the oil price surged | :15:57. | :16:00. | |
once more. We can say to a senior royal and gas analyst. A good Aussie | :16:01. | :16:09. | |
institution. That is the key. What we just said there, we have all | :16:10. | :16:16. | |
agreed, but with a stick to that? Complaints is always key. They have | :16:17. | :16:20. | |
not done it for awhile. -- compliance. What encourages the | :16:21. | :16:25. | |
market is that the core countries of OPEC, the Gulf countries like | :16:26. | :16:30. | |
Arabia, UAE, wait, the make up more than half, and they will comply. | :16:31. | :16:34. | |
They have to comply given their budget constraints -- to wait. We | :16:35. | :16:38. | |
think most of the rest of the countries will comply to some | :16:39. | :16:42. | |
degree. Many countries tempted by the slightly higher oil price to | :16:43. | :16:47. | |
increase supply and make more money. It has been hard going for countries | :16:48. | :16:51. | |
including South America in some African countries. Yes, and also | :16:52. | :16:57. | |
Libya and Nigeria, coming out of a depressed position. They will be | :16:58. | :17:02. | |
allowed to increase. There will be a lot of complaints. When we saw that | :17:03. | :17:10. | |
announcement, in the lead up, they have finally made this agreement, | :17:11. | :17:15. | |
but they cut record levels. Rush was producing more than 11 million a | :17:16. | :17:19. | |
day, something like that. -- brush. Will it make a huge difference? With | :17:20. | :17:24. | |
demand increasing, lower prices equals that it is cheaper, so demand | :17:25. | :17:30. | |
growth is good. How long will that last now prices are rising? Unless | :17:31. | :17:34. | |
there is a recession in the West, we will see a decent amount of growth. | :17:35. | :17:38. | |
It will increase the wiggle room some of the countries have. Yes, the | :17:39. | :17:44. | |
US is also producing a lot at the moment. The worry is producing even | :17:45. | :17:52. | |
more. It will be crackers when I come into it because of the price, | :17:53. | :18:01. | |
making money. -- a fracas. They can switch it on pretty quickly? There | :18:02. | :18:07. | |
is a finite limit to that. With a bit of compliance and demand and | :18:08. | :18:11. | |
great, I think the oil price will reach $60. Next you? It is $55 now, | :18:12. | :18:18. | |
so we're not far away -- nest you. Brent crude up in 2016. What are | :18:19. | :18:24. | |
your predictions that 2017? As I say, $60. No $100 mark? Unless there | :18:25. | :18:33. | |
is a cataclysm somewhere. We have had that before. We are not | :18:34. | :18:37. | |
forecasting that. And nice and smooth path back up to $70. We will | :18:38. | :18:42. | |
have you back next year to work out if you were right. We have put you | :18:43. | :18:46. | |
on the spot. Thank you for joining us. In a moment we will be talking | :18:47. | :18:54. | |
tech. I love talking tech. You like talking in general. He is taking | :18:55. | :19:01. | |
photos of us. Then he will put it on social media. We will look at the | :19:02. | :19:04. | |
year in social media. They are daft people in our office | :19:05. | :19:21. | |
playing it. Majorly disappointed, it changed my | :19:22. | :19:49. | |
life for a week and there was gone. Best out this year. -- then it was | :19:50. | :19:53. | |
gone. Sitting in Scotland says I would | :19:54. | :20:06. | |
never use a driverless taxi or vehicle, and in India, I would be | :20:07. | :20:11. | |
scared to sit in one in India because it might malfunction. | :20:12. | :20:28. | |
I tweeted this about five o'clock this morning and had nothing but a | :20:29. | :20:35. | |
short and sharp response from viewers about this one. It has been | :20:36. | :20:45. | |
an interesting year. A sally appearance. 2016 has been an | :20:46. | :20:49. | |
eventful year in the world of tech. We have seen travellers taxes | :20:50. | :20:52. | |
picking up passengers for the first time. And of course the war between | :20:53. | :20:58. | |
Samsung and Apple reached explosive new heights, I see what they did | :20:59. | :21:05. | |
there. Boom. Good to see you. You have bought your gadgets in. See | :21:06. | :21:11. | |
that picture? Is this the future? We said 2016 was going to be the year | :21:12. | :21:16. | |
of virtual reality, when we saw a lot of lodges. We have not seen the | :21:17. | :21:20. | |
mass take-up yet. We are now seeing the emergence of cheaper forms of | :21:21. | :21:24. | |
it. This is an example, a cheap headset in which you put a mobile | :21:25. | :21:28. | |
phone. Much easier to get to grips with. Not as good as things like the | :21:29. | :21:33. | |
Oculus Rift, but obviously very cheap. What does it do? You are | :21:34. | :21:39. | |
being transported into new worlds. My experience from this... I like | :21:40. | :21:47. | |
the world I'm living in! My experience is the first time | :21:48. | :21:51. | |
somebody does this, I did it with family members, with an ageing | :21:52. | :21:55. | |
parent the other day. Did you? They are quite excited by it. My question | :21:56. | :22:00. | |
is whether that will last. The first expense is great and then you do | :22:01. | :22:04. | |
begin to say, yes, but what is it for? It is all about big companies | :22:05. | :22:09. | |
applying it to something. A constructive... I'm seeing more of | :22:10. | :22:15. | |
augmented reality mode, putting virtual objects and a real word. A | :22:16. | :22:19. | |
great example was Pokemon Go, wandering around with friends | :22:20. | :22:24. | |
catching Pokemon. Getting arrested for wandering around with friends. | :22:25. | :22:27. | |
We will see more of that next year. -- friends. And then is a hollow | :22:28. | :22:35. | |
bones that puts objects on the real world. -- lens. Voice control! Be | :22:36. | :22:45. | |
quiet. It works! Amazing. Happy to help. You have spoiled my demo. OK, | :22:46. | :23:03. | |
Google. Who is Aaron said Iraq? Aaron Heslehurst is a TV presenter. | :23:04. | :23:10. | |
And then you can ask questions like how all dizzy? We will not go on | :23:11. | :23:16. | |
that. -- how old is he? He celebrated his 70th birthday this | :23:17. | :23:18. | |
year. LAUGHTER | :23:19. | :23:23. | |
We saw the Amazon Echo, voice controlled speaker, take off. Then | :23:24. | :23:29. | |
we have the Google rival. Devices you talk to, voice becoming a new | :23:30. | :23:33. | |
interface. We have seen in mobile phones. This is a Google mobile | :23:34. | :23:38. | |
phone using the smart system. You also have Siri. Those are becoming | :23:39. | :23:44. | |
so much more sophisticated. So much smarter. For instant, when I ask, | :23:45. | :23:53. | |
who is someone, a good question is how all dizzy? That is not work. Are | :23:54. | :24:01. | |
people buying them? They are. These voice controlled speakers are out | :24:02. | :24:06. | |
there. These are things that are out there. They are in the environment. | :24:07. | :24:12. | |
Voice control is becoming a thing. This is the stuff when we were | :24:13. | :24:15. | |
younger we watch the science fiction films and there would be on a | :24:16. | :24:21. | |
spaceship. What amazes me is how blase we are about it. In Star Trek, | :24:22. | :24:26. | |
there were devices where you could speak one language and it will come | :24:27. | :24:33. | |
out in another. We have them. What about the driverless cars. There is | :24:34. | :24:39. | |
a lot of controversy? It feeds into the same thing, more intelligence | :24:40. | :24:42. | |
being built into allsorts of devices. We have come a long way | :24:43. | :24:47. | |
with driverless technology and I am expecting more demos of that. The | :24:48. | :24:52. | |
big show in Las Vegas in January. That sort of technology leads us | :24:53. | :24:56. | |
into the Internet of things. Yes. I have a bunch of devices, all | :24:57. | :25:02. | |
connected to the Internet. That is a smart doorbell with a camera on it. | :25:03. | :25:06. | |
It will identify who has come to your door and you can let the mean | :25:07. | :25:09. | |
by smart phone. Smart lighting that you can control -- let them in. I | :25:10. | :25:19. | |
just bought this. Jones, Jones, Jones! He wanted a drone. Lots more | :25:20. | :25:31. | |
up in the sky. --.... Hey, Siri, turn the Christmas lights on. Thank | :25:32. | :25:37. | |
you for joining us. That is it from Business Live. Thank you for | :25:38. | :25:40. | |
watching. See you in the New Year. Take care. | :25:41. | :25:44. | |
Yesterday's weather was all about Storm Barbara, | :25:45. | :25:46. | |
the second named storm for the season. | :25:47. | :25:49. | |
It has been a quiet winter season so far. | :25:50. | :25:51. | |
There is Barbara, the curl of cloud working into the UK. | :25:52. | :25:55. |
