Matt 8 00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:31,480 Speaker 1: Hancock's messages on COVID school closures and London slowdown blamed 9 00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:34,800 Speaker 1: for week of productivity. Those other stories we're looking at 10 00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:38,320 Speaker 1: in today's papers. And I'm Leanne Geron's class at work 11 00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:42,560 Speaker 1: doesn't pay. Three quarters of mothers say childcare costs prevent 12 00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:48,159 Speaker 1: them from returning to the workforce. That's all straight ahead 13 00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:51,440 Speaker 1: on Bloomberg Daybreak Europe.

Here 17 00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:09,920 Speaker 1: are the stories that we're following today. The UK's tech 18 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:12,880 Speaker 1: unicorn arm has decided not to list on the London 19 00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:16,560 Speaker 1: Stock Exchange. According to sources who've spoken to Bloomberg, it's 20 00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:18,720 Speaker 1: a blow to the government, which has long dreamed of 21 00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:22,920 Speaker 1: creating a British rival to Silicon Valley. One of Arms founders, 22 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,639 Speaker 1: Jamie Arkhart, told us here on Bloomberg Radio, the government 23 00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:29,839 Speaker 1: is lacking a long term vision for the sector. There's 24 00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:33,720 Speaker 1: been very little continuity, there's been very little strategy, and 25 00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:36,959 Speaker 1: even now we're waiting for the government to come out 26 00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:41,400 Speaker 1: with a semiconductor strategy. It doesn't take that much to 27 00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:44,520 Speaker 1: start looking forward and thinking about what you're going to do, 28 00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:46,959 Speaker 1: but you've got to do it. I think the government 29 00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:52,080 Speaker 1: just either unwilling to grasp the nettle, or maybe they've 30 00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:55,000 Speaker 1: got way too many things to do and aren't thinking 31 00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,560 Speaker 1: about ARM. Co founder Jamie Urkhardt there, who took the 32 00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:01,080 Speaker 1: company public in the late nine before a soft bank 33 00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:04,440 Speaker 1: bought us in twenty sixteen. More from our interview with 34 00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:08,400 Speaker 1: him coming up now. Federal Reserve officials say that interest 35 00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:11,720 Speaker 1: rates will need to rise further and stay elevated into 36 00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:15,240 Speaker 1: next year. That's after several recent reports have showed that 37 00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:19,280 Speaker 1: inflation in January ran hotter than expected. The Minneapolis Fed 38 00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:22,320 Speaker 1: chief Nil Kashkari says that he supports more hikes, but 39 00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:26,160 Speaker 1: isn't yet committed to how large they should be. I'm 40 00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:29,000 Speaker 1: open minded at this point about whether it's twenty five 41 00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:32,160 Speaker 1: or fifty basis points to me much What's much more 42 00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:34,960 Speaker 1: important than whether it's twenty five or fifty is what 43 00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:39,600 Speaker 1: we signal in what's called the dark plot. Neil Kashkari 44 00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:43,280 Speaker 1: spoke also as the Atlanta Fed president Raphael Bostick said 45 00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:45,520 Speaker 1: that rates need to rise to five and a quarter 46 00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:48,920 Speaker 1: percent and remain there until well into twenty twenty four. 47 00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:53,120 Speaker 1: Bundesberg president Yacolm Nagel says that investors have been overly 48 00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:56,520 Speaker 1: optimistic about how high ECB rates will need to go, 49 00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,880 Speaker 1: but now the European Center Bank voting member tells Bloomberg 50 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:03,560 Speaker 1: markets understand how tough the Center Bank might have to 51 00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,840 Speaker 1: get to tackle inflation. It seems to be the case 52 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:10,840 Speaker 1: that inflation is very stubborn, and that is bringing me 53 00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:13,280 Speaker 1: to the point that one ter policy has to be 54 00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:17,640 Speaker 1: more stubborn. Not fair to speculate what is the sequencing 55 00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:20,840 Speaker 1: beyond March, but it looks like for the moment that 56 00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:26,320 Speaker 1: fifty basis points for the March meeting very necessary. That's 57 00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:29,040 Speaker 1: the Bundesbank president telling Bloomberg that half a point rate 58 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:32,639 Speaker 1: increase is near certain in their next meeting, with inflation 59 00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:36,560 Speaker 1: data confounding economists expectations. Traders are now betting the terminal 60 00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:40,800 Speaker 1: rate for the ECB will hit four percent. UK government 61 00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:43,760 Speaker 1: bonds rallied after the Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey 62 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:47,360 Speaker 1: cast out over the pace of further interest rate rises. 63 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:51,240 Speaker 1: Bloom Base Uman Potts reports now nothing is decided three 64 00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:53,600 Speaker 1: words from the Bank ofving the government, which saw UK 65 00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 1: sovereign bonds rally yesterday. The short end led the advance, 66 00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,200 Speaker 1: with a yield on two year notes falling as much 67 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:02,480 Speaker 1: as eleven base points. In comments released by the Bowe, 68 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:05,800 Speaker 1: Andrew Bailey said he would caution against suggesting either we're 69 00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:09,120 Speaker 1: done with increasing rates or that we inevitably need to 70 00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:11,800 Speaker 1: do more. The bwe IS hiked its bench up rate 71 00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:14,880 Speaker 1: by three hundred and ninety basis points since late twenty 72 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:18,440 Speaker 1: twenty one to four percent, the highest since two thousand 73 00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:21,240 Speaker 1: and eight, but the central bank governor did note the 74 00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:25,279 Speaker 1: labor market remains tight, adding to pressure on prices in London. 75 00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:29,000 Speaker 1: Immuanpot's Bloomboy day break Europe, the UK government is beginning 76 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,440 Speaker 1: a push for closer financial service as links with the 77 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:35,000 Speaker 1: European Union today. The move follows this week's breakthrough deal 78 00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:38,960 Speaker 1: in Northern Ireland's trading relationship. Treasury Minister Andrew Griffith is 79 00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:42,000 Speaker 1: in Berlin to meet with German banking chiefs and financial 80 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:45,560 Speaker 1: services executives. Bloomberg understands he will use the visit to 81 00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:48,919 Speaker 1: make the case for greater cooperation with the UK. And 82 00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:52,480 Speaker 1: now to some interest in corporate news, Elon Musk's latest 83 00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:56,120 Speaker 1: master plan for Tesla has fallen flat with investors, with 84 00:04:56,279 --> 00:05:00,320 Speaker 1: little detail given about new products. Must confirmed a new 85 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:04,479 Speaker 1: plant in Mexico would build the next generation of electric vehicles, 86 00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:07,799 Speaker 1: but gave no details on the timing. We're obviously building 87 00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:13,880 Speaker 1: a cathode processing of salty just adjacent to this building, 88 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,359 Speaker 1: So a little further down the road you'll see another 89 00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:23,480 Speaker 1: large construction that's for cathode refining. But like I said, 90 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:26,720 Speaker 1: we would really prefer if others did that. We're doing 91 00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:28,479 Speaker 1: it because we have to know, because we want to 92 00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:33,200 Speaker 1: Musk used much of the four hour long presentation to 93 00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:36,000 Speaker 1: set out his vision to lead the world's transition to 94 00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:39,680 Speaker 1: sustainable Energy. However, the longer that the event went on, 95 00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:43,040 Speaker 1: the more investors appeared to lose heart. Tesla's shares fell 96 00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:46,440 Speaker 1: as much as six point eight percent in after hours trading. 97 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:48,520 Speaker 1: So it's our top stories this morning, Carl. I don't 98 00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:49,920 Speaker 1: know if you have a chance to read our colleague 99 00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:53,479 Speaker 1: Kitty Donaldson, our Political editors article about Baris Johnson. It 100 00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:59,080 Speaker 1: is fascinating. Kitty has been speaking to Conservative backbenches about 101 00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:02,760 Speaker 1: what Barius johnson prospects might be now, I mean, bottom line, 102 00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:05,360 Speaker 1: not good if he wanted to make a comeback. Some 103 00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:09,200 Speaker 1: really pointing to the change in for It tunes and 104 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:11,719 Speaker 1: the change in perception of Boris Johnson as a figure 105 00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:13,920 Speaker 1: within the Conservative Party now that Richie Senac has done 106 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:17,120 Speaker 1: this deal with the European Union and essentially saying the 107 00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:21,520 Speaker 1: Northern Arlis torpedoes his chance to make a comeback as leaders, 108 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:24,320 Speaker 1: something that looked likely up to a few months ago. Listen, 109 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:28,080 Speaker 1: Kitty Donaldton, you know is a voice to watch. She 110 00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:31,080 Speaker 1: would be the one to know. She interviewed Boris Johnson 111 00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:34,279 Speaker 1: actually with our own producer on a train not that 112 00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:36,719 Speaker 1: long ago. So did a long sit down interview with 113 00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:40,359 Speaker 1: the Prime Minister. She's super well plugged into a conservative party. 114 00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:42,160 Speaker 1: Think is I think it's interesting she's written that one 115 00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:44,200 Speaker 1: of the MP's quota on her piece said it showed 116 00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:49,320 Speaker 1: the era of Donald Trump style bombastic populism was over. Okay, well, 117 00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:53,440 Speaker 1: one issue for government surely, but also for business. The 118 00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:55,560 Speaker 1: story that I picked out on the term of this morning, 119 00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:58,279 Speaker 1: Jolie Briley is the founder and the CEO of Pregnant 120 00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:03,280 Speaker 1: Then Screwed. She's this piece out of research that UK 121 00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:06,599 Speaker 1: mothers say it no longer makes financial sense to work. 122 00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:10,320 Speaker 1: Look ask any family, Steve and I think this issue 123 00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:13,240 Speaker 1: has been long understood in the UK. We're one of 124 00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:17,640 Speaker 1: the most expensive countries in the OECD for childcare. Three 125 00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:20,160 Speaker 1: quarters of women say that paying for childcare in the 126 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:23,000 Speaker 1: UK means that it makes no financial sense for them 127 00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:25,160 Speaker 1: to go to work. With such a tight labor force. 128 00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:28,600 Speaker 1: No wonder it's now becoming a political issue. Well, can 129 00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:31,480 Speaker 1: this finally be the thing that actually kicks the government 130 00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:35,160 Speaker 1: or a policymakers into action to do something about it? Finally? 131 00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:37,600 Speaker 1: Is there going to be some sort of structure and 132 00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:40,240 Speaker 1: help for this because the labor markets so tight might 133 00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:42,520 Speaker 1: actually be the castlist to see some change. Yeah, that 134 00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:46,120 Speaker 1: too optimistic, Listen, one would hope. So it's a difficult 135 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:48,440 Speaker 1: one to crack though, and as we know with the 136 00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:52,600 Speaker 1: issue around social care for example in Britain, these are 137 00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:56,000 Speaker 1: huge structures that help with the economy, but they're very 138 00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:59,200 Speaker 1: expensive and they're difficult to resolve. Anyway, that's another great 139 00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:02,760 Speaker 1: piece on the Bloomberg terminal this morning. Okay, well, look, 140 00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:04,960 Speaker 1: let's get back to that ARM story that we've been 141 00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:07,720 Speaker 1: leading with this morning. It's the UK's tech superstar. It's 142 00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:10,640 Speaker 1: decided not to sell shares in Lundic Stock Exchange and 143 00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,840 Speaker 1: to plan for an IPO in the US. A huge 144 00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:17,360 Speaker 1: blow for Britain and for politicians who've been labbying for 145 00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:19,960 Speaker 1: a UK listing. Callen, this is a story that actually 146 00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:22,320 Speaker 1: you've been looking into and you've actually spoken to one 147 00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:24,480 Speaker 1: of the founders of the company. Yeah. I happened to 148 00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:28,120 Speaker 1: be up in Cambridge this week and I was speaking 149 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:31,280 Speaker 1: to one of there were a number of ARMED founders, 150 00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:34,160 Speaker 1: but to one of the kind of pivotal people. So 151 00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:37,319 Speaker 1: ARM was founded, of course and is still based in Cambridge. 152 00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:39,520 Speaker 1: It is the duel in the crown, one could say, 153 00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:42,600 Speaker 1: of the UK tech industry. Its chip designs are found 154 00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:46,440 Speaker 1: in most of the world's smartphones, and they're pervasive across 155 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:50,040 Speaker 1: the electronics industry. Remember that ARM was brought by soft 156 00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:52,640 Speaker 1: Bank thirty two billion dollars in twenty sixteen. That was 157 00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:57,080 Speaker 1: controversial itself. It came with promises to create more UK jobs. 158 00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:01,920 Speaker 1: But now our reporting shows that even a secondary listing 159 00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:05,880 Speaker 1: in London seems a vague idea. I promised that the 160 00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:09,960 Speaker 1: company's not ruling out according to Bloomberg reporting, but that 161 00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:14,800 Speaker 1: will surely be a huge disappointment to the government successive government. 162 00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:16,920 Speaker 1: So earlier this week I was up in Cambridge. I 163 00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:21,600 Speaker 1: spoke to Jamie Urcott, who actually took on public back 164 00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:24,600 Speaker 1: in nineteen ninety eight. He was the COO. He's now 165 00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:29,280 Speaker 1: involved in developing tech entrepreneurs at Cambridge University and across 166 00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:33,080 Speaker 1: the UK. So I asked him about the backdrop in 167 00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:36,760 Speaker 1: the UK for tech firms on which successive governments have 168 00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:41,080 Speaker 1: placed so much emphasis. The government has talked about doing 169 00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:44,160 Speaker 1: these things for a large length of time. I cheered 170 00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:48,960 Speaker 1: a report some time ago to government and quite frankly, 171 00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:56,559 Speaker 1: was underwhelmed by the lack of desire to get involved. 172 00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:59,280 Speaker 1: I think that that was appalling. Some of it might 173 00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:01,880 Speaker 1: be that the law of the people in power in 174 00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:05,360 Speaker 1: the government don't have a business background, they don't have 175 00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:10,280 Speaker 1: a tech background. I work. I first came to Cambridge 176 00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:13,600 Speaker 1: in nineteen eighty four, auspicious, and I worked for Plessy 177 00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:17,760 Speaker 1: before that. Plessy we're a world leader in semi conductors. 178 00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:23,360 Speaker 1: They at the same time as Texas Instruments developed an 179 00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:27,040 Speaker 1: integrated a transistor. They did it as well, and they 180 00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:29,640 Speaker 1: did it before TI have patented it, so they were 181 00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:33,280 Speaker 1: absolutely world leaders. The technology I was working on when 182 00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:37,319 Speaker 1: I left, I had to go two steps back with 183 00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:42,199 Speaker 1: what was available from America, which is where Acorn got 184 00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:49,920 Speaker 1: their fabrication from. But there's been very little continuity. There's 185 00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:54,559 Speaker 1: been very little of strategy, and even now we're waiting 186 00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:57,760 Speaker 1: for the government to come out with a semi conductor strategy. 187 00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:04,240 Speaker 1: And the problem is it doesn't take that much to 188 00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:06,760 Speaker 1: to start looking forward and thinking about what you're going 189 00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:09,440 Speaker 1: to do. But you've got to do it, and you've 190 00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:15,200 Speaker 1: got to then help people do it. The Americans, the 191 00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:21,760 Speaker 1: rest of Europe, Japan, China, there's government investment in what's 192 00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:24,160 Speaker 1: going forward, and some of this is geopolitical in terms 193 00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:27,760 Speaker 1: of where you've built chips and such like, there's very 194 00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:30,160 Speaker 1: little here in the UK, and the things we are 195 00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:34,840 Speaker 1: worried about, the Chinese already owned them, and I think 196 00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:39,600 Speaker 1: the government just either unwilling to grasp them at all, 197 00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:42,320 Speaker 1: or maybe they've got way too many things to do 198 00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:45,280 Speaker 1: and aren't thinking about it. Do you have any hope 199 00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:48,160 Speaker 1: that lay government might be different? You know, in case 200 00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:52,800 Speaker 1: Damer's laying up economic plans, the beginning of economic plans 201 00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:55,440 Speaker 1: for what could well be a Joe election in eighteen 202 00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:58,160 Speaker 1: months or two years, and there could be any any 203 00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:01,520 Speaker 1: hope that there is a better industrial strategy from when 204 00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:06,320 Speaker 1: you go Interestingly enough, Tony Blair actually was a positive. 205 00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:10,840 Speaker 1: I'm less concerned about the politics than they're doing and 206 00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:13,439 Speaker 1: are they doing things? So could I see a labor 207 00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:17,320 Speaker 1: government doing something? They talk about doing something, and I 208 00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:21,280 Speaker 1: think they could do something, and frankly, it couldn't be 209 00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:24,520 Speaker 1: any worse than it is at the moment. Okay, that's 210 00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:29,079 Speaker 1: not terribly hardly, No, it's I believe in things when 211 00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:31,480 Speaker 1: I see them starting to happen. You build trust by 212 00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:34,480 Speaker 1: seeing activity. So it's not that I don't think they 213 00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:37,120 Speaker 1: want to do it, but you ask me a reasonable question, 214 00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:40,240 Speaker 1: could they do it? They could do it, but let's 215 00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:43,800 Speaker 1: see some evidence. So if that was the co founder 216 00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:46,920 Speaker 1: of ARM, Jamie Urquhart speaking to me there in Cambridge 217 00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:52,200 Speaker 1: on Stephen, the UK went through three prime ministers in 218 00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:55,240 Speaker 1: a year last year. This obstructed talks with soft Bag 219 00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:58,600 Speaker 1: about a secondary listing in London. That's the kind of negative. 220 00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:01,880 Speaker 1: On the other hand, the soft Bank founder, Massa Yoshi's 221 00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:04,480 Speaker 1: son has repeatedly said that his primary focus is on 222 00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:07,200 Speaker 1: taking ARM public in the US because of the deep 223 00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:11,800 Speaker 1: investor base their attractive valuations. Now the government has declined 224 00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:15,320 Speaker 1: to comment on this issue this morning that we're reporting 225 00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:18,360 Speaker 1: of a US listing. I think the question and the 226 00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:22,560 Speaker 1: fascinating bit that I get from that interview with Jamie 227 00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:27,040 Speaker 1: urkhat is the longevity, the long view of Britain's trajectory. 228 00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:31,079 Speaker 1: The question now can Britain create new Arms of the future. 229 00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:33,040 Speaker 1: And it's also something I'm going to talk about a 230 00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:35,120 Speaker 1: bit more in a longer piece that I'm going to 231 00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:36,720 Speaker 1: bring to you in the next couple of weeks, something 232 00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:39,800 Speaker 1: to look forward to. That's a great and really fascinating 233 00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:43,400 Speaker 1: interview there from Caroline up next, Matt Hancock staged a 234 00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:46,600 Speaker 1: rearguard action to close schools, London slowdown to blame for 235 00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:49,960 Speaker 1: week UK productivity and savers lose out as bank profits rise. 236 00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:55,480 Speaker 1: Now the Paper review on blue Bird day Break Europe 237 00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:59,160 Speaker 1: the news you need to know from today's papers be 238 00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:02,760 Speaker 1: with us with detail on those stories. Morning to you, 239 00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:06,520 Speaker 1: Leanne so the Telegraph that start there, Matt Hancock staged 240 00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:11,160 Speaker 1: a rearguard action to close schools. More elaked to WhatsApp messages. Yes, indeed, Stephen, 241 00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:14,120 Speaker 1: good morning to you. Now everyone has been talking about 242 00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:18,679 Speaker 1: those leaked WhatsApp messages you've just been discussing there, obtained 243 00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:22,800 Speaker 1: by the Daily Telegraph yesterday that exploded onto the scene. 244 00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:27,440 Speaker 1: Now today the lockdown files are continuing, but they're focusing 245 00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:30,400 Speaker 1: on something different. They looking at leaks which revealed how 246 00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:35,560 Speaker 1: Matt Hancock and as advisors mocked Gavin Williamson in private 247 00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:40,040 Speaker 1: for freaking out that then how secretary mounted a campaign 248 00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:45,920 Speaker 1: to close schools. Now that comes despite the then Education Secretary, apparently, 249 00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:50,080 Speaker 1: according to these leaks, battling tooth and nail to keep 250 00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:55,120 Speaker 1: classrooms open. Williamson has also accused teachers of looking for 251 00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:58,880 Speaker 1: an excuse not to work during the pandemic, and also 252 00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:03,440 Speaker 1: wrote that teach unions really really do just hate work, 253 00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:08,840 Speaker 1: So Caroline, pretty explosive stuff coming out of these leaks. 254 00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:12,360 Speaker 1: But we must remember that during the first year of 255 00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:16,440 Speaker 1: the COVID nineteen pandemic, children and teachers just ensured this 256 00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:21,320 Speaker 1: extensive roller coaster of openings and reopenings and no one 257 00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:24,480 Speaker 1: could kind of decide in many ways. And this shows 258 00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:28,560 Speaker 1: that robust debate happening on these leaked messages. THEA leangoes, 259 00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:32,480 Speaker 1: how could I possibly forget somebody? Yes, children of school aid. 260 00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:35,920 Speaker 1: But look, you're right, this has been really explosive. And 261 00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:38,640 Speaker 1: what I thought was interesting yesterday is just how many 262 00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:44,239 Speaker 1: people commented on this, even including the chair of the inquiry, 263 00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:47,440 Speaker 1: of the COVID inquiry that has actually just begun from 264 00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:51,800 Speaker 1: preliminary hearings. But a lot of people now want, you know, 265 00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:55,920 Speaker 1: to understand more around these messages, you know, and how 266 00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:59,800 Speaker 1: they're being put out into the public. But we must 267 00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:02,920 Speaker 1: all so note that yesterday I saw lots of robust 268 00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:06,800 Speaker 1: debate over all the different TV channels. Also, Rishie Sunhak 269 00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:10,520 Speaker 1: was quizzed about those and PMQ's by Kia Starmer and 270 00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:14,280 Speaker 1: the journalist Isabel oak Shot. She is the lady who 271 00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:19,200 Speaker 1: ghost wrote Matt Hancock's book, The Pandemic Diaries, and she 272 00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:23,720 Speaker 1: has come under some fire for releasing these WhatsApp messages 273 00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:27,800 Speaker 1: before the COVID inquiry. Stephen, Yeah, okay, let's briefly get 274 00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:30,080 Speaker 1: to the Finanta Times. Next, London slowdown to blame for 275 00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:33,800 Speaker 1: week UK productivity leanne Yes, indeed. So a report says 276 00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:37,560 Speaker 1: productivity in London is lagging behind a similar cities and 277 00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:40,600 Speaker 1: that's over the last fifteen years now. The Center for 278 00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:44,200 Speaker 1: Cities think tank says the value of output put our 279 00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:47,840 Speaker 1: work here in London since two thousand and seven, has 280 00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:52,360 Speaker 1: trail places like Paris, New York and Brussels.
