0:01:27 > 0:01:34warning from the think tank the IFF about slowing living standards. That
0:01:34 > 0:01:37dominates The i, saying we are having the biggest fall in living
0:01:37 > 0:01:44standards for a generation. That is where we will begin. The UK facing
0:01:44 > 0:01:48two decades of loss wage growth. ISS predicting a slowdown leading to a
0:01:48 > 0:01:53prolonged period of austerity. Things seem to be going quite well

0:02:03 > 0:02:19saved his job. The budget could have been a real disaster. -- IFS. They
0:02:19 > 0:02:22paint a bleak picture about what the next few years could look like. I
0:02:22 > 0:02:27would add a word of caution about what the IFS says. Long history of
0:02:27 > 0:02:31these predictions being run down the years. Gordon Brown in 2007
0:02:31 > 0:02:37sketching out a great picture of how things would be brilliant in 2009,
0:02:37 > 0:02:43economies are dynamic. The global situation, Brexit.The uncertainty
0:02:43 > 0:02:48over Brexit will be causing a lot of wobbles for people.The golden rule
0:02:48 > 0:02:53with these kind of studies, when they support your argument, the
0:02:53 > 0:02:58highly respected think tank, when they do not, they are just experts.
0:02:58 > 0:03:06That is the big problem. Looking at the Office for Budget
0:03:06 > 0:03:09Responsibility, doing the forecast yesterday. Flat-lining growth over
0:03:09 > 0:03:14the next five years. Brexit was taken out of the equation. They do
0:03:14 > 0:03:24not know what is going to happen. It is not forecasted. We are in limbo.
0:03:24 > 0:03:31It is a very new phenomenon. Going back to 25 years ago. Before that
0:03:31 > 0:03:35budgets did not contain very much. About even the next year.
0:03:35 > 0:03:39Assumptions of all sorts of things going right or going wrong.
0:03:39 > 0:03:44Sometimes things go it unexpectedly right or the economy. A recession
0:03:44 > 0:03:48was predicted for this year according to the Treasury's
0:03:48 > 0:03:53assessment Brexit, did not happen. The government is in a bind. It does
0:03:53 > 0:03:59not want to be spending a great deal of money, because they would like to
0:03:59 > 0:04:05maintain some form of austerity. To keep the economy going, to stimulate
0:04:05 > 0:04:11growth, if you are going to invest in infrastructure, you have to spend
0:04:11 > 0:04:17cash. You have the problem of the Conservative Party, they have
0:04:17 > 0:04:21backbenchers who want German levels of public services.They have other
0:04:21 > 0:04:25backbenchers, the right wing ones, who want Bermuda levels of taxes.
0:04:25 > 0:04:30They are incompatible. This argument taking place among the Tories at the
0:04:30 > 0:04:34moment. They are in all sorts of contortions, they don't know how to
0:04:34 > 0:04:37get out of the problem. At the same time you have Corbin promising the
0:04:37 > 0:04:44world. Yes we will raise taxes, we will give you first-class public
0:04:44 > 0:04:48services. Giving people a pay rise. Helping public sector workers,
0:04:48 > 0:04:52investing in the NHS. We are reaching a tipping point. People are
0:04:52 > 0:04:58starting to think I would prefer the pain of paying a bit more in tax. To
0:04:58 > 0:05:02the pain of having bad public services, seeing people struggle on
0:05:02 > 0:05:06welfare, Universal Credit not working. As this says, the endless
0:05:06 > 0:05:11misery of stagnant wages.You cannot spend all that money and have
0:05:11 > 0:05:16top-class services and pay off the deficit?No, people's expectations
0:05:16 > 0:05:22are realistic. If taxes rise, not going to have a stimulating effect
0:05:22 > 0:05:29on the economy if the tax burden is set to be pretty high as it is
0:05:29 > 0:05:34anyway. That will not make Britain competitive. The only way is for us
0:05:34 > 0:05:40to grow our way out of it.Which is difficult when we have the worst
0:05:40 > 0:05:45productivity since Napoleonic times. The ABI figures are predicated on
0:05:45 > 0:05:50that essentially continuing. Britain has underperformed on productivity.
0:05:50 > 0:05:57Certainly true.Sometimes things surprise you on the upside. In the
0:05:57 > 0:06:03Eurozone things are booming. Jobs growth, factory orders reaching 17
0:06:03 > 0:06:08year highs.To rub it in. As we were told yesterday by the Chancellor,
0:06:08 > 0:06:11rattling through growth figures so bad he did not want to say them
0:06:11 > 0:06:17slowly. We now have a Brexit turned down. We don't know how long that
0:06:17 > 0:06:21will be, we are ready into it. Across the Channel, they are doing
0:06:21 > 0:06:28very well. Results that are the best for 6.5 years.Greece is still in
0:06:28 > 0:06:34the bind. He mixed picture, no doubt there is a recovery. Not an
0:06:34 > 0:06:39exaggeration to talk about it as parts of the Eurozone booming.
0:06:39 > 0:06:44Personally that will be good for Britain as well. A successful
0:06:44 > 0:06:52Eurozone is in everyone's interest. We're not leaving a corpse, as some
0:06:52 > 0:06:57Brexiteers said. That is true.If you go back five years looking in
0:06:57 > 0:07:00the difficulty of the Eurozone was in during the crisis. You would
0:07:00 > 0:07:07always get these moments. Cycles. Europe doing so, the EU doing better
0:07:07 > 0:07:13is a good thing.The Daily Telegraph. May be used to break
0:07:13 > 0:07:23Brexit impasse?Good luck with that. Raising the amount of money? We knew
0:07:23 > 0:07:28this was going to happen. They had a meeting in a Cabinet subcommittee.
0:07:28 > 0:07:32Boris Johnson, Liam Fox, David Davis, Michael Gove excepting we
0:07:32 > 0:07:36were going to have to increase the amount we put on the table to grease
0:07:36 > 0:07:50a part.Like episode of The Law No Deal. -- Deal Or No Deal.They said
0:07:50 > 0:07:55they want citizens write Cecil, Northern Ireland settle. I do think
0:07:55 > 0:08:00that will be a problem when they meet tomorrow, with Donald Tusk. A
0:08:00 > 0:08:04divorce deal is possible. The real problem is Northern Ireland. That is
0:08:04 > 0:08:07where the bust up will be. That is where they have an intractable
0:08:07 > 0:08:11problem. Having real trouble breaking the deadlock.Jason is
0:08:11 > 0:08:15right. The government was starting to feel quite confident going into
0:08:15 > 0:08:21this key decision point in the middle of December. About whether it
0:08:21 > 0:08:27goes forward to talk about trade, stage two. Almost from neighbour,
0:08:27 > 0:08:32Ireland has become a problem, dissipated, but really serious
0:08:32 > 0:08:40problem. Potentially giving may be President Macron, one of the other
0:08:40 > 0:08:44members of the 27 an excuse or chance to save actually we're not
0:08:44 > 0:08:49ready to go forward. They were pretty optimistic in the last week
0:08:49 > 0:08:55two.Ireland went wanted to go forward either. They will want to
0:08:55 > 0:09:00have more certainty.The risk they then play, if they have overplayed a
0:09:00 > 0:09:06strong hand. You get to a situation where if you get through Christmas
0:09:06 > 0:09:11and nothing is really happened during January 's wiped out. The
0:09:11 > 0:09:15risk is, the British government had to start saying Iran February or
0:09:15 > 0:09:18March, this does not look like it will happen, start planning for no
0:09:18 > 0:09:24Deal.Daily Telegraph, switch off cameras in smart toys. Christmas not
0:09:24 > 0:09:31far away.Have you included this to make me feel old?Not doing a great
0:09:31 > 0:09:37deal for me either.When my kids were going up they got very simple
0:09:37 > 0:09:46toys, cuddly teddy bears. Now we have these machines are connected to
0:09:46 > 0:09:52the Internet. They had cameras. I am boggled by this.My daughter who is
0:09:52 > 0:09:5813, some time ago but a piece of tape across the camera at the
0:09:58 > 0:10:02computer at home saying no one could hack into us. I wish we were doing
0:10:02 > 0:10:07something interesting. It is a point. People can hijack the
0:10:07 > 0:10:14cameras, remotely.The serious point, we have been through the
0:10:14 > 0:10:19early stages of the technological revolution is a wonderful things it
0:10:19 > 0:10:25can do. The evidences, consumers are starting to work out a lot of the
0:10:25 > 0:10:29stuff is about tracking them, tracking behaviour. Collecting data.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32The real problem is the only people who understand technology other
0:10:32 > 0:10:42children. If you want to fix this, ask your kids.Daily Mirror. The FA
0:10:42 > 0:10:46launches probe into the link between heading footballs and dementia. This
0:10:46 > 0:10:52seems overdue. Your paper has had a role in bringing this to our
0:10:52 > 0:10:59attention.We have been campaigning on this. It came out of nowhere.
0:10:59 > 0:11:06Suddenly looking at the World Cup 1996 heroes. Three of them have got
0:11:06 > 0:11:14dementia. We started asking more questions. We have had 375 former
0:11:14 > 0:11:18players having possible signs of dementia. Alan Shearer did a
0:11:18 > 0:11:25documentary for the BBC. He said the governing bodies were trying to
0:11:25 > 0:11:30sweep it under the carpet. We kept pressing. Good on the FA. They are
0:11:30 > 0:11:35going to launch the study. We're not entirely sure if there is a definite
0:11:35 > 0:11:41link. The evidence points that way will stop if we can get a scientific
0:11:41 > 0:11:49study and it proves it. Overseas purple, they're not as heavy as they
0:11:49 > 0:11:56were years ago. Players can start thinking about what they are doing.
0:11:56 > 0:12:03Concerns about other contact sports. Boxing the obvious one. Rugby, head
0:12:03 > 0:12:05injuries this that is true, particularly on the football thing.
0:12:05 > 0:12:10Of concern to a lot of parents. They had kids playing sport.So many
0:12:10 > 0:12:18players. I think it is an example of really good, old-fashioned, proper
0:12:18 > 0:12:27tabloid campaigning. Really going at an issue. Getting some movement. It
0:12:27 > 0:12:31is what they do with the research? Once you have the evidence, or
0:12:31 > 0:12:39proof, you need, somebody needs to be bold.You don't not wrap kids up
0:12:39 > 0:12:43in cotton wool. If there are simple things you can do, wearing a skull
0:12:43 > 0:12:48cap. That is not stop them having fun, stop people playing football.
0:12:48 > 0:13:00Makes sense.It hurts.Let's see the research.It will start in January?
0:13:00 > 0:13:04Conducted at a Scottish university. Proper big study. Good news.
0:13:04 > 0:13:13Pantomime season is almost upon us. A lot of fairy stories get turned
0:13:13 > 0:13:18into pantos. Sorry, you cannot wake sleeping beauty with a kiss? She has
0:13:18 > 0:13:25not given consent. A woman by the name is Sarah Hall, she wants her
0:13:25 > 0:13:32son's school to ban the classic story.Her argument is a traditional
0:13:32 > 0:13:37understanding of gender roles, being reinforced here, the express
0:13:37 > 0:13:44regarding it as political correctness,. Example of how crazy
0:13:44 > 0:13:51the world would be. I do think, cerebral, the person who made the
0:13:51 > 0:13:55complaint to the school, it should be noted, as it is towards the end
0:13:55 > 0:14:03of the story, in public relations, standing as president of the
0:14:03 > 0:14:06chartered Institute of public relations. Getting a page lead in
0:14:06 > 0:14:12the Daily Express. She should properly win.There is a counter
0:14:12 > 0:14:17view from the chairman for the campaign of real education. He says
0:14:17 > 0:14:21the Prince is resuscitating her with the case. I was opposed to try and
0:14:21 > 0:14:27tell children not to say somebody? I'm going to send very boringly PC.
0:14:27 > 0:14:32If you look at fairy stories, the women characters are either Crohn's,
0:14:32 > 0:14:37hags and which is, or simpering princesses. Maybe we should have
0:14:37 > 0:14:42straight slightly stronger female role models, as a father of three
0:14:42 > 0:14:48daughters.You seem work out some chilly nobody Zane Duquemin rescue
0:14:48 > 0:14:54you. You are on your own. Do I sound bitter? Not at all. You can see the
0:14:54 > 0:15:00front pages of the papers online on the BBC website. Seven days a week.
0:15:00 > 0:15:04If you missed the programme, you can watch it later on the BBC iPlayer.
0:15:04 > 0:15:09Jason and Ian, lovely to see you. Coming up next, the weather.
