In their case they say by 2025. But they are, theyve pledged 5 billion. This is so much more ambitious plan. Of course, the labour party is saying it will pre National Part of British Telecom as part of that plan and so there is also bubble their and so there is also bubble their and they also say it will be paid for by a new tax on the Tech Companies that will somehow be the ones responsible. So it is how you are structuring it. This key it, because we all expect greater broadband and that is because lives have changed. More and more is done via online, whether a dish shopping, viewing or whatever. Basically, via online, whether a dish shopping, viewing orwhatever. Basically, both parties are saying it. Labour says it in parties are saying it. Labour says itina parties are saying it. Labour says it in a different way and it includes renationalisation of the telecoms but for me the key thing is that we have accepted we need to have broadband and we expected. At the moment only 7 of the uk has full broadband. And people want to do their shopping. They do. And we will get to that story later on and we will also get to election pledges from the conservative party as well. Staying in cyberspace and talking about a story on the front page of the Financial Times today. An interesting story, how do you adequately address privacy concerns is one of the most powerful Tech Companies in the world. The answer he is appears to be to hold the data that the advertisers want. Is it the right call . Remember what they said about google when they first started, do no evil . A number of apps have had access to certain medical records and diagnoses of people and at the same time, the whole issue of privacy has come to the fore because when tech came to the fore because when tech came to the 420, 30 years ago, these were not yet issues we thought about. And now, even our medical records can be accessed and passed on. So what google is really trying to do is to ensure that it protects itself by saying not giving up personal data that could be dangerous in the end. However, the Health Companies and those on Health Websites say that is self serving because google will still have the information. Exactly. So the information will be retained by google it is just that google, which makes its money through advertising, somehow will have access to a certain amount of data. So maybe the rivals are saying that this is self serving and purely done for commercial reasons. Who is right . I dont know . It is a tricky one and as you say this comes after the ft investigation finding that the ft investigation finding that the u. K. s most Popular Health website have been sharing Sensitive Data including medical symptoms and diagnoses with Companies Including google. So if you are interested in that story it is in the Financial Times for you. Lets talk trade. It is hardly ever asked in the paper, will they, wont they, will we see another round of tariffs . This week, on tuesday, donald trump said a trade deal with china was close but he did not offer any details, did he . Im not so sure that details is really what we expect from the president of the United States. I dont think he is a details man. Golf news is reporting on china confirming that talks are at a positive stage, at least for phase one. And that is interesting because in all the problems we have had from the United States, china has not reacted and they have learnt to not reacted and they have learnt to not react to every tweet that goes out. So that is the first thing, the other key thing is that there are some sanctions due to come on in december 15. 15 on hundred and 56 billion worth of goods. But those are goods that are for the christmas market. So Christmas Decorations and things like consoles, video consoles, the things that will be present for someone under the tree. Im not socialfor present for someone under the tree. Im not social for the present for someone under the tree. Im not socialfor the president present for someone under the tree. Im not social for the president of the United States he wants 15 more added to those goods that every member of the public will be purchasing for christmas. And looking forward to no one spending 15 more. Just for those presents. This is a trade war that has been going on for 16 months. Whether or not they can wrap it up for christmas, who knows . Will it be a christmas, who knows . Will it be a Christmas Gift to us that we can stop talking about it . Moving on now to an election pledge here by the conservative party. The tories to reverse beaching. Many years ago, doctor beeching closed many rail lines across the uk and many people believe that led to the widening of the gap between places like london and the rest of the country. And 150 of the country was exposed to all of this between 1950 and 1980. How popular would be to reopen those lines, starting with the north of england . This is the pledge. Two things here. One, the cost of doing it. At the moment i am not so sure. The government has over £500 million sterling to do this which is not very much money in the scheme of things for reopening railways. So it looks as though it is a half hearted attempt. But the other thing to talk about is the environment. We are more conscious of the environment and the fuel by driving, the Carbon Footprint created by that. And then to which there is increased traffic on our roads and therefore snarling up the amount of time we it is an addiction and mental illness. What do make of this. Is it . I dont know if you could suffer from this. I must say, i used to be terrible on night shifts because money does not seem to be real at 3am the this story is talking about the fact, what has been termed buying shopping disorder, that some people do feel compelled to purchase things, even if they do not need it. So they are trying to put it in the context of a gambling disorder which has been recognised as a medical condition. Apparently this is something that because of the ability of online, you can sit at home, nobody is checking what you are doing and so you keep on purchasing things. And so this is a study and here it says more than 2. 5 million britons had some form of buying shopping disorder. That is a lot of people. In my own household with a 21 year old daughter, maybe i do think she does have that. However it seems as if she is not alone. Possible. And it does feed into this new strategy from amazon, this one day delivery where it is so much easier with a single click and it comes to you the next day. Or even within four hours in some instances. Thank you. Quite interesting, an interesting range of stories. Thank you for your company. So much more to come. Hello. Thursday was another rough day of weather across many parts of the uk. For some it was snow that fell from the sky. This is how it looked on thursday evening over high ground in staffordshire. For many more it was rain that rain falling on sodden ground, so there are a number of flood warnings in force. You can read about those on the bbc weather website. The culprit, an area of low pressure spinning across continental europe. This stripe of cloud here is what brought the persistent rain across parts of the midlands and Northern England. A little bit of snow for some as well. That particular rain band is now working its way westwards and weakening, but in our area of low pressure is still spinning around, still in charge of the scene, so it will more outbreaks of rain in from the east as we go through the day. So across england and wales, expect a largely cloudy day. We will see some outbreaks of rain at times, much of it quite light and patchy, but there could be some heavier rain into east anglia and the south east later on. Some rain affecting eastern and southern parts of scotland, further north west across scotland, also northern ireland, morning showers will tend to fizzle to leave some sunshine through the afternoon. It will still be quite breezy, but perhaps not quite as chilly as it was during thursday. Now, as we head on through friday night into the early hours of saturday, you can see further outbreaks of patchy rain spreading from the east towards the west. Best of the clear spells to be found across parts of scotland and northern ireland, although in northern scotland there could be some quite dense fog patches around to take us into saturday morning. And into the weekend, yes, our area of low pressure still with us. But notice the white lines the isobars there arent many of them. The low is becoming quite flabby, which means there is not much to push the various areas of rain around and so it is a little tricky for us to forecast the exact details at this stage. But it does look like many of us will see cloud and some outbreaks of rain at times during saturday. The best chance of brightness perhaps down towards the south. It wont be as windy as it has been. Now, on sunday it looks like theres a greater chance of seeing heavier and more persistent rain returning from the east, potentially moving into parts of Northern England and the midlands that have already seen flooding. So, worth staying in touch with the forecast. The best of the brightness i think to be found across the western side of the uk, particularly for northern ireland. Now, as we move through sunday night into monday, a little ridge of High Pressure is going to move its way through. And actually for the start of the week, that will settle things down. But theres a big low waiting in the wings in the atlantic, and that will bring the return of some rain at the time as we head through next week. It will often be windy, but eventually it will turn a bit milder. Good morning. Welcome to breakfast.
