Do you get migraines . I do. We will talk about that later. We begin in the us and the Strike Action affecting the auto industry, because the us President Joe Biden is expected tojoin workers on the picket line in michigan later today. The industrial unrest has highlighted a clash between the president s support for unions and his push for clean energy as our north America Business correspondent Michelle Fleury explains. The fight between americas Biggest Car Companies and the uaw over pay and Better Benefits is playing out in a key Battleground State in the 2024 president ial election that is michigan. So this visit by President Biden is no accident. Hes trying to turbo charge the market for Electric Vehicles that is part of his policy to reduce Greenhouse Gas emissions. His signature legislation well, its known as the inflation reduction act, and it includes billions of dollars in incentives to get more clean cars on the road. But republicans including biden� s likely president ial opponent, donald trump, who is also visiting michigan on wednesday well, theyve argued the shift to Electric Vehicles will killjobs because, after all, it takes fewer people to make a battery than a combustion engine. And many of the new Battery Plants are being built in states that are hostile to organising. Add to that biden� s push for clean energy well, it hit another roadblock on monday. That is after ford said it was pausing work on a 3. 5 billion Battery Plant in michigan. It cited concerns about its ability to competitively operate the plant. For the president who wants to fight Climate Change and expand the middle class by supporting unions this is, as they say, where the rubber meets the road. Well, as michelle mentioned there, the Car Giant Ford is one of the Companies Targeted by the strikes and says it has paused work on a 3. 5 billion Battery Plant in michigan. It cited concerns about its ability to competitively operate the plant, but declined to say what specific reason triggered the decision. Lets unpack this with jane foley head of fx strategy at rabobank. Good morning. A good morning. It is really good morning. A good morning. It is really interesting good morning. A good morning. It is really interesting to good morning. A good morning. It is really interesting to see it is really interesting to see how this unfolds, this dispute going on between the us and their workers. The political background to all of this, we have joe background to all of this, we havejoe biden today, donald trump there tomorrow. Have joe biden today, donald trump there tomorrow. Indeed we have. And trump there tomorrow. Indeed we have and of trump there tomorrow. Indeed we have. And of course trump there tomorrow. Indeed we have. And of course this trump there tomorrow. Indeed we have. And of course this is trump there tomorrow. Indeed we have. And of course this is a have. And of course this is a state that went to the democrats in the last election but in 2016 it was one by donald trump, when he was fighting hillary clinton. So there is a personal element here. Of course this big Auto Workers Union has not yet endorsed the democrats although biden is saying he is in line with the union, once to stand with the union, once to stand with them on the picket line. This is interesting from a political standpoint but also from the economy standpoint, that workers are fearful about a loss ofjobs when the move to ev happens. But there are environmental concerns, as well, so a lot of environmental factors. �. ,. , factors. But also concerns about spending factors. But also concerns about spending and factors. But also concerns about spending and this l about spending and this conversation is going on at the moment once again about a possible shutdown of the Us Government because of a fight in congress about spending. There is a deadline at the end of september. Moodys is saying it could lead to the countrys Credit Rating being reduced if there is no agreement. Talk us through what is happening. We have in through what is happening. Have in the us a huge amount of debt and in fact most countries did spend a lot during the pandemic, in 2020 specifically, and we sought debt levels rise. But whereas the democrats want to use spending to help boost peoples incomes etc, we have the republicans who have a very strong concern about the size of this debt and bringing fiscal spending back online. So we have this big divergence between the Political Parties which we have seen already, but we are likely to see again. It could potentially cause the government to have to shut down. � ~ ,. , ~ down. All right. We will speak to ou down. All right. We will speak to you again down. All right.

Well, lets stay on this subject because nissan says it will accelerate plans towards electrification, despite the uk postponing its 2030 ban on the sale of new petrol and diesel cars to 2035. It said that every vehicle sold in europe will be electric by 2030. The uks Automotive Trade Body has voiced concerns that postponing the ban on petrol and diesel cars until 2035 would see consumers delay the switch to electric partly because evs are more expensive than their petrol counterparts. But in an interview with the bbc, the boss of nissan says price parity is not far away. Well, i would say that one of the most important things, how we can get the competitiveness to be demonstrated from the cost perspective, and what is the appropriate pricing that the ev that can deliver to the customer. Because if you look at the world today, all the ev now is getting more competitive pricing to the customer. So how we can make sure those we deliver to the customer is one thing that, as nissan we have a long history on the ev has been the pioneer. We really would like to demonstrate that further in here. At the moment, Electric Vehicles are more expensive than their petrol and diesel counterparts. When will they be the same price . Well, it may take a bit of time, but we are looking at the next few years to make sure how we can maximise the way of the production and the way of the Battery Technology with a cost level. That is what we have on our road map. Will it happen by 2030 . We would have to do in the coming few years. So it will be by 2030, youll have the price. Thats what we are aiming. You talk today about solid state batteries theyre cheaper, theyre lighter, theyre quicker to charge have you cracked it . When will that be a real thing . Well, we say that were going to have a pilot plant of the assb in japan from next year next fiscal year that we want to make sure those to be mass produced by 2028. Thats what we said. We are on track. Theres a lot of challenge on the assb, but we do have a solution to come with that. And that is what we want to prove has been in the nissan for dealing with electrified vehicle or ev for the past many years. So assb a solid state battery by 2028 . That is what we said to the market, yeah. The European Union seems worried about the threat of cheap chinese electric cars, with State Subsidies flooding the market. Are you worried about it . How much of a threat is that . I think the competitiveness fair competitiveness is always happening. So as long as its fair, then we do have to plan how we can challenge towards that. It has to be a fair manner for all the competition. The ceo of nissan speaking to our Business Editor simonjack. World trade volumes fell at their fastest annual pace for almost three years injuly, signalling that Rising Interest Rates are beginning to impact the Global Demand for goods. Lets go to katie silver in our Asia Business hub. Tell us more. Right, so this data was tell us more. Right, so this data was collected, tell us more. Right, so this data was collected, the tell us more. Right, so this l data was collected, the World Trade Monitorfigures data was collected, the World Trade Monitor figures and are analysed by an Economic Analysis unit linked to the dutch government so these are not from the World Trade Organization but it has found 0rganization but it has found that Trade Volume Debt by about 3 injuly at the same on the same time a year prior and it is the steepest drop since august 2020, which was when the pandemic was in full swing. We saw a similarfolder pandemic was in full swing. We saw a similar folder previous month. There are a couple of reasons why. 0ne month. There are a couple of reasons why. One is, as you mentioned, signalling that perhaps Interest Rate rises are having the impact that central bankers around the world want to see. We are seeing for example Global Growth slowing in a demand for exports, often luxury goods, really falls when people are fearful about the future. The current context of high Interest Rates, high inflation is causing many to pull their Purse Strings even tighter. The other issue is geopolitical tensions and many countries around the world have shifted toward protectionist policies, we are seeing an increase when it comes to inward trade, and indeed this shift away from multilateralism. This is being felt across the board. No country is exempt, china, the eurozone and the us are all reporting drops when it comes to exploit, and many economists are predicting this is unlikely to end anytime soon. {lila are predicting this is unlikely to end anytime soon. 0k, thank ou so to end anytime soon. 0k, thank you so much lets get some of the days other news now. Gatwick airport will cancel around 82 departures over the coming week because of short term sickness and covid in the air Traffic Control tower. Airport boss Stewart Wingate said he was Very Frustrated by a series of problems at gatwick� s air Traffic Control. Around 30 of air Traffic Control staff are not available, mr wingate said. Uk workers are taking more sick days than at any point in the last decade, new research suggests. Staff took on average 7. 8 sick days in the past year up from 5. 8 before the pandemic the Chartered Institute For Professional Development found. The trade group said the rise was a worry and blamed stress, covid and the cost of living crisis. Coming up. Have you got a headache . For some it could be a migraine. We look into the economic fall out from a condition that is responsible for over three milion sick days in the uk alone. Around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. Bbc news. Its fair to say this shop has stood the test of time. 0nce owned by anne boleyn� s father, its been serving the village of chiddingstone since the 15th century. Now its current owners are reluctantly putting this remarkable piece of history back on the market. The one thing i do think about is the size of the front door, because its a hinged door. And if you look at the step, its so worn out. But, yeah. I hope that it will go into a good pair of hands. Goodness, how cross you are the shops beauty and its history has meant its featured in films and dramas watched by millions across the world, and residents are relieved that whoever buys it next will have to keep it as a shop and a post office.

To spain, where its parliament will discuss the future of its government today after the snap election injuly produced no clear winner. Alberto nunez feijoo president of the Popular Party will take the first attempt at forming a coalition government. If he fails, Prime MinisterPedro Sanchez will have an opportunity to stay in power. But mr sanchez� S Socialist Party will have to form a coalition with the catalan secessionist party, and this would be a controversial move as catalan� s support of mr sanchez is conditional on issues of sovereignty. This comes at a tricky time for the spanish economy and the eu, as spain currently holds the eu presidency. To discuss whats at stake im joined byjavier diaz gimenez, professor of economics at iese business school. Thank you forjoining us. That is a very simplistic introduction to what is a very complicated picture in spain at the moment. What are you expecting to happen today in parliament . Parliament . Today the vote, everyone parliament . Today the vote, everyone is parliament . Today the vote, everyone is counting parliament . Today the vote, everyone is counting on parliament . Today the vote, everyone is counting on a. Parliament . Today the vote, everyone is counting on a noi everyone is counting on a no vote for the candidate and winner of this map election, Alberto Nunez feijoo. He has 172 votes and needs four more so unless four mps from the Socialist Party dues to cross party lines, make mistakes or whatever, today, the chances are that he will fail in his attempt to be nominated as Prime Minister, meaning that Pedro Sanchez, the Socialist Party leader and acting Prime Minister, will get his chance in another month or so. I will lookin in another month or so. I will looking at in another month or so. I will looking at new in another month or so. I will looking at new elections, in another month or so. I will looking at new elections, orl looking at new elections, or will Pedro Sanchez have to come up will Pedro Sanchez have to come up with a coalition that could be very uneasy if he gets into bed with catalan . It be very uneasy if he gets into bed with catalan . Bed with catalan . It will be uneasy no bed with catalan . It will be uneasy No Matter Bed with catalan . It will be uneasy no matter what bed with catalan . It will be uneasy no matter what happens. Unless there is another election called. The problem is the price he will have to pay because the catalan party, they are independent, asking for an amnesty and their rebellion of october one three years ago. 0ctober one three years ago. There is a strong sentiment in spain against making all these concessions. What is the price that the Socialist Party will end up paying . So it is not clear. Again, anotherfour clear. Again, another four interesting clear. Again, anotherfour interesting weeks and we could have both outcomes, either at the acting Prime Minister manages to pay an acceptable price and he gets nominated again and can keep being Prime Ministerfor the next again and can keep being Prime Minister for the next whatever, four years or so, but the chances are that with parliament as divided as it currently is, passing legislation will be really hard and probably looking at a very short legislature, and the chances are we will have another election sometime soon. What impact is this having on the economy in the meantime . Fortunately spain has learnt to live with other governments so there is a bit more uncertainty. Legislation has stopped but that is not always a bad thing. Spain is hopping along, looking at the 2. 2 Gdp Growth Rate this year, which is a bit better than other european, most other european countries. So so far, so good. We are not missing the government too much for now. You are managing without them for now which is really interesting. Javier diaz gimenez, thank you for your time, diaz gimenez, thank you for yourtime, good diaz gimenez, thank you for your time, good to speak to you. Your time, good to speak to ou. , ~ your time, good to speak to ou. , ~ ,. , y your time, good to speak to ou. , ~ ,. ,. You. Thank you very much, goodbye the boss of Audio Streaming Giant spotify says its platform has no plans to ban content created by artificial intelligence. Spotify founder and chief executive daniel ek told the bbc there are valid uses of The Tech In Making Music but ai should not be used to Impersonate Human Artists without their consent. He sat down with our technology editor, zoe kleinman. You have so called deep fake ais, where someones impersonating some famous artist, etc. And our view is obviously that is not positive, and we believe that. Say, something in the drake weeknd case, that drake and weeknd should be able to decide what kind of content they want to put out in the world, what they stand for. So you have no immediate plans to ban ai generated content from the platform . No, we have no immediate plans. And, in fact, it wouldnt even surprise me that, if we look at the top chart of spotify today, that theres legitimate use of ai done by artists, and we would allow for them. And then theres the ones where its clearly someone trying to steal someones name or likeness or even infringe on someones ip at which point we would say that is not ok, that is not what we stand for, and we would take that down. Youve been very critical of apples practices, havent you, in the past . And you still are. Yeah. A critical voice. 0ur beef is really around allowing for a level playing field, a fair playing field. Apple decides what innovation goes and doesnt go. It taxes all innovation on the internet on this point, and it doesnt have to follow the same rules themselves. And so what we all we are asking for is they can charge whatever fee they would like, so long as it was possible for us to not be in their store and download the app onto the iphone anyway. Apple would say that what youre paying for is the security that it provides, and this enormous audience of iphone users that it has. Its giving you access to a marketplace that nobody else can access, and would argue that its worth it. What would you say to that . Four billion consumers around the world and probably 80 of uk consumers the primary way theyre accessing the internet is through their smartphones. And the primary way theyre accessing the internet is through apps on smartphones. And so this is the internet at this point. And thats why, from a principal standpoint, its really important for me, its an important Business Issue for spotify, but i believe it will be very important for the future innovation and for other developers. Spotify� s invested a lot in podcasting. You had some big names you had the 0bamas, you had the duke and duchess of sussex. They released 12 podcasts in two and a half years. Was that worth £18 million . We thought new innovation was needed to happen here. We thought, we can come in and offer a great experience that both makes consumers very happy, and allows new creators new avenues to build new podcasts. And weve succeeded with that. Now, in part of that, we also signed lots and lots of new podcasters to this medium. And the truth of the matter is, some of it has worked, some of it hasnt. Were learning from those and were moving on and we wish all of the ones we didnt renew with the best of success that they can have going forward. You heard it there from the boss of spotify. It is migraine Awareness Week and it may or may not surprise you to learn that one in seven people live with the condition in the uk. Migraines are a type of severe headache which can trigger nausea, vomiting, light sensitivity and vision problems. With so many sufferers there is a real Economic Impact the nhs estimates around £41; billion a year is lost due to Three Million migraine related sick days. Lets talk this through with rob Music Chief Executive of the Migraine Trust. Good morning to you. Good morning good morning to you. Good morning. Are good morning to you. Good morning.

They are not fun by any means. I started getting them when i was 16 and still get them intermittently now. I am not surprised at all to hear these statistics, i know quite a few people who suffer from migraines. A few people who suffer from migraines migraines. And other statistics, migraines. And other statistics, a migraines. And other statistics, a report i migraines. And other statistics, a report ini migraines. And other statistics, a report in 2018 looked at migraine in the workplace and one in three hide it, from their estimations. They are talking about 43 million days a year lost and the research we have done for the Migraine Trust last year, in terms of productivity, the cost could be up to £9 billion. Really quite extraordinary, quite worrying numbers. As you say, for a condition that makes one in seven of us, we have colleagues that live with migraine. We commissioned some research earlier this year that paints a really painful picture for people who live with migraine, who arejust for people who live with migraine, who are just trying to be able to perform at their very best. To be able to perform at their very best very best. They are really debilitating very best. They are really debilitating depending i very best. They are really debilitating depending on very best. They are really debilitating depending on how severe you get them. When i first started with them they were really severe, that was it, i was rich enough for a day, whereas now they are not so bad. If i do get one it is fixed quite quickly, thankfully. But it is all about your biology, you get them for different reasons, and so therefore in terms of what you can do to try to mitigate them when they do start. For some it might be a visual expression initially. The medication out there differs widely. It initially. The medication out there differs widely. There differs widely. It does and ou there differs widely. It does and you are there differs widely. It does and you are absolutely there differs widely. It does| and you are absolutely right. There is a spectrum in terms of how people are impacted by a migraine. Some may have one, two, three per year. For others who are living with it it is 15 headaches a month, eight of which are at migraine symptoms. There are a range of treatments available and thankfully again it is interesting that for many years migraine has been massively underinvested in and perhaps not taken seriously enough and finally there are Migraine Treatments coming through and for those who have had them they said it is literally transformative and literally Tra Nsformative and has literally transformative and has change their lives so we have to make sure that those who are eligible can have access to them. Who are eligible can have access to them. Which is really important access to them. Which is really important i access to them. Which is really important. I assume access to them. Which is really important. I assume they access to them. Which is really important. I assume they can l important. I assume they can get access on the nhs, as well, if required. In terms of the causes of migraine is, what are the key causes, the main causes . Causes . Well. I guess researchers causes . Well. I guess researchers still causes . Well. I guess researchers still say causes . Well. I guessl researchers still say they causes . Well. I guess researchers still say they are not 100 sure what happens but they know it is down to abnormal activity in the brain that affects the chemicals, the Blood Vessels and nerve endings. There is a genetic link to it, as well. I think there is more and more research happening now and i think we will probably have more and more therapies coming through. Quite exciting and an important time. The Public Perception is something that really needs to change because we talk about challenging the workplace and our research showed that colleagues didnt take them seriously, managers didnt. 0ne seriously, managers didnt. One in three had to give up their job athletes from full time to part time or giving up altogether. There is a real piece of work about tackling the myths and stigma so that people feel that they can truly be present at work and be able to be playing a real part within their company and live happy, healthy working lives. There is an awful lot, as you say, in terms of the pressure because part of the reason why people are getting migraines to a great degree is because of stress. It triggers that neurological reaction in the body. Neurological reaction in the bod. ,. , body. You are absolutely right. Stress can body. You are absolutely right. Stress can play body. You are absolutely right. Stress can play a body. You are absolutely right. Stress can play a really body. You are absolutely right. Stress can play a really big stress can play a really big factor. If you think that your colleagues are not believing you, that your manager isnt going to believe you, that will increase the level of stress. So that is a real struggle that will make things much worse and so this thing around present he is is enormous because people are really struggling but they are really struggling but they are terrified of losing their jobs from sick days. They will come to work but they are not really there because they are really there because they are really struggling. So it is really struggling. So it is really important, we want to see employers provide better information, support, make sure they can offer reasonable adjustments and often they are quite simple ones that can make things much easier and better for their colleagues. {lilia things much easier and better for their colleagues. For their colleagues. 0k, we appreciate for their colleagues. 0k, we appreciate you for their colleagues. 0k, we appreciate you talking for their colleagues. 0k, we appreciate you talking to for their colleagues. 0k, we appreciate you talking to us | appreciate you talking to us about it today.

Lets look at the Financial Markets really briefly so you can see how the Trading Session is progressing in asia. A negative week so far this week. The price of oil has come down nearly 0. 5 today, usually for many, im sure. You may have noticed the price at the petrol pump has gone up again in the uk, iam pump has gone up again in the uk, i am sure it is the same in other countries around the world. Wall street the night before often plays into the Trading Session in asia. 0ne before often plays into the Trading Session in asia. One of the stories overhanging markets in china, Mainland China and hong kong, is a situation with the Property Giant as we reported yesterday, which is struggling to raise much needed funds. You are up to date. Bbc breakfast is at the top of the hour on bbc one, globally i will see you then. Hello there. Weve got a bit of rain on the way today, but also should see some spells of sunshine developing. And at the moment, the rain is edging into Northern Ireland, where its turning quite heavy. Weve got southerly winds feeding in, so its a mild start to tuesday with temperatures holding up into double figures. And that rain in Northern Ireland will soon spread to scotland, see a bit of wet weather as well for a time across Northern England and north wales. Across central and eastern england, a few showers will develop through the day, itll turn quite cloudy for a time as well. But it is a day where well all see some sunshine at some points during the day, and those temperatures continue to run above average for the time of year, about 16 23 degrees. Then weve got storm agnes on the way for the middle part of the week, bringing some potentially disruptive weather. Now, at the moment, agnes is this lump of cloud in the mid atlantic its got 30 mile an hour winds on it, it is a very weak area of low pressure. However, its going to pass underneath a very strong atlanticjet Stream Blowing at 140 mph, and that will deepen this low pressure rapidly. Pressure falls by over 2a millibars in 2a hours. Its an example of a weather bomb. Now, thankfully, the peak intensity of this low pressure will be well away from our shores. And actually, as the low pressure moves away from the jet stream, its going to start to weaken. As that weakening takes place, well, thats what will determine exactly how strong the winds get. Now, i think through the irish sea coasts, its here where well see the strongest gusts of wind, could get gusts of wind around 70 or even 80 mph, potentially damaging and certainly disruptive gusts of wind. Inland, yes, you could see 50, 60 odd mile an hour gusts across parts of south west england, across wales, across Northern England and Northern Ireland. But its the coast and the hills where we could see those much stronger gusts of wind, reaching 70 or even 80 mph. Now, it will stay quite windy into thursday. Agnes, or whats left of it, will be heading out into the norwegian sea. Well be left with lots of showers across western areas, with more general rain pushing back into Northern Ireland. It will stay quite blustery, temperatures around 14 21 degrees celsius. Now, beyond that, i think friday and saturday looking 0k. Therell be a few showers across the northwest, but a fair amount of dry weather. However, rain looks set to return from sunday and into the early part of next week as well. Thats it for now.
