We begin by talking about this rescue operation in New Zealand after one person died 20 others were injured some critically after the eruption of a volcano on White Island off the country's north east coast the police say there are likely to be more at this point it's too dangerous for emergency services to actually get on to the odd by the volcano is around 50 people there when it erupted the country's prime minister to send made a statement a short time ago we know already that there were a number of tourists on or around the island at the time both New Zealand does and visit is from the Ses I know there will be a huge amount of consume and anxiety for those who have loved ones on or around the island at the time and I can assure them police are doing it every thing they can well John Harvey was out on a boat near one Thailand when he saw a steam coming from the volcano I spoke to him just a short while ago same sort of come down now this toast am coming out of the island . Sort when it 1st happened. It was just so I looked over and there's just as James cut out a stadium and there was nothing above it so and brain erupting. But just compare staying out of it and expanding. Just crazy. It'll happen pretty quick but there is a biggest toughest game of same come out of all had there been any warnings that this might happen are not that I know especially for there was just clear light blue sky or nothing going on nothing unusual and I just stood out to me is when I looked over a different. Just games cloud of steam coming out and I just expanded like almost gone off just 30 miles so I say I'm too far away to hear anything but just look at the huge explosion and you haven't seen anything like this before from the volcano are really minor and comparison my head as a wrap quite often gets continuously Stayman that sort of thing but nothing like that. And there are frequent visitors to the volcano these days I understand this pay fall out there every day a helicopter. And that sort of thing so from what you could see and we know that there were people neon and when this happened how easy would it be to. Access the awning to try and get to those people who've been stuck not easy at all if we're close so if there's nothing we could do anyway I wouldn't have stayed back to get again to the shore and we don't have a small of our. Affair lying on helicopters and stuff that my vein of a turkey was visibility and and statement. Saying Eleonore 0 do you get a sense of what it must feel like to be in the vicinity of something like this to be so close can can you smell it can you sense the asked around Seoul actually flying out to say from where we. Were flying way way. To Perth and we're not over there that there's people over there so what are people saying now are they trying to share information is that evidence emergency services are trying to get to the area helicopters flying our rest. Because here on a day I just radio that force one has turned circles around the island. Charged as claimed told to stand. I'm not sure of this situation at the moment but years to spend a lot of activity on it isn't what's volcanic activity in other parts around the North Island where you know that if there is a fault line that runs through the center of the low surface constantly active and generally any size there's just you know just releasing something like any of the other just animal areas and land like. Well that was. An eyewitness to the volcanic eruption down Harvey he's a commercial fisherman so he was out in his boat when he saw it happening and you can see from some of the pictures the very very thick clouds of I mean he describes it as steam but it looks like a thick cloud of dark gray smoke rising up from the island and looks really quite alarming and for the visit is on the island seemingly one of those places that you could just step onto no great risk a regular destination for people on cruise ships and not it must have come as a terrible terrible shock but as he was describing access to the island is extremely difficult at the moment so we'll hopefully get a slightly Kyra picture as the morning goes on its as to whether the emergency services have managed to get there and find the people who are unaccounted for at the moment so we'll keep in touch with that story throughout the morning of course and let you know any further updates coming up to 9 minutes past 6 welcome to your morning and action briefing it is an action week we have just 3 days left of campaigning before Britain votes you may well be heaving a sigh of relief at that thought today Boris Johnson is heading for Labor's Breck's its heartlands after spending yesterday trying to drive home his son. Election message we are a party that is going to get brakes it done by the way January by January the 31st and we got a deal that's ready to go it's an absolutely fantastic deal isn't it is already how many members of the Conservative Party study this election support our deal every single 1600 how do you know there's a Labor Party's Labor can't support Jeremy Gordon's deal it's not impossible to calculate nobody knows when ita labor shadow chancellor John McDonnell will promise to deliver a budget to end austerity with a vow to get money moving out of Whitehall and the city if Labor win yesterday Jeremy Corbyn rallied supporters Mbanga and North Wales I want to lead a government that will transform things I want to lead a government that empowers people I want to lead a government that recognizes we've got to nurture the genius and ambition of our children to be as imaginative and artistic as possible in school and life a little while before it could be very bad be described a good change really cares for all well let's get on to it now with our political correspondent Ben Wright Good morning than going to asked Pershing and I guess we're getting there the big message is the central theme is being hammered home yep 72 hours of remorseless campaigning and it's a sign of I think the conservatives confidence that Boris Johnson will be spending that time a lot of it in Labor's traditional heartlands in the midlands the north of England areas that have voted Labor for generations but voted leave in the e.u. Referendum and it's a so-called red wall stretching from around to Grimsby through the north of England over to North Wales that the Tories think hold the key to a majority and Boris Johnson will be spending time in those seats including Sunderland today where he will lay into labor and say that people in those constituencies have been subject to a great betrayal because Labor's let them down they haven't delivered Breck's it and Boris Johnson hopes this message is going to snatch. Quite a lot of those seats from Labor to the Tories so he will be on the road Labor will of course be doing campaigning hard too I mean I think they must feel at this stage that the that they're aiming now for a hung parliament I don't think there are many in the labor camp who feel that they can get a majority the polls simply aren't suggesting that is suggesting that's possible they're hoping for a hung parliament John McDonald the shadow chancellor will be making a speech today setting out his priorities for the 1st 100 days of a Labor government in which he will say that there will be nationalization of energy and water that will be a budget that would pretty much reverse austerity and he'll talk about transferring money away from the city and Whitehall to the country we had a debate last night on t.v. Yes another one neither the conservatives nor the breaks a party took part in it though it was everything but Bracks it was the theme on the debate on channel for labor the Lib Dems Yes I'm p. Plied Comrie and the Green Party will all there his just a favor with the London Bridge attacks terrorism on the n.h.s. Highlighted by the Lib Dems plied and the Greens one of those grieving parents David Merritt he has called on politicians not to politicize his son's death not to reach for need check reactions I am angry at the prime minister in the way he's responded to that I think public protection has to be at the core of the policy isn't it I mean it is a specific type of crime involving a specific type of criminal that are ideologically motivated and then I think the balance passed on the side of caution hugely because the consequences of getting it wrong you know are too horrible to imagine when you have the pressures on the n.h.s. When 18 percent of the n.h.s. Budget goes to private companies who have it sucked out the old people become better blockers the disabled become a problem to deal with and you don't have a chance to actually spend time and treat the whole person and I would see an n.h.s. Reinstatement bill so you heard that I've done made adjustments and applied coming out in price I'm Jonathan Bartley co-leader of the Green Party. What were the highlights for you last night Ben Well it was it really was interesting reminder that there is a political world beyond breaks it and you know they talked about security climate social care the funding of the n.h.s. Obviously mental health provision services problems within the health service you know stuff that I think is important people but hasn't necessarily got much ventilation during a campaign that has been dominated by Breck said I think is interesting too that just just Winston put on the spot really all the legacy of the coalition and austerity and at one point Labor's Angela Rayna told just Winston that she voted for austerity you created the bedroom tax and then just once and had to apologize for that it was the same as the engineer interview a few days ago where I think she was in a difficult position having to defend policies that she voted for when the Coalition was in power and now she's having to sort of did separate herself from the legacy of that coalition government. And what about elsewhere this election has been so characterized by accusations of misinformation and fake knees and that's something that all politicians have been asked about the conservatives Tobias Elwood's talked about it last night on 5 Live and in particular immolation to that pledge from Boris Johnson that he would put in 20 sorry 50000 more nurses and build 40 new hospitals and you're already admitted that the messaging on that should have been clearer if you know costs go down and start again. But as I said before the qualifier that. We would have. Was with if you're increasing the number. Who were really provides more. And just a quick on that as well and Nigel who has been looking at the future for his political party there's been some speculation about whether the Bracks it Party is the. Crumbling a little bit throughout this election campaign but he's saying that he may well change the whole thrust behind the party if the u.k. Does leave the yeah turning it into a sort of broader anti establishment. Party rather than one focused on leaving the e.u. And he has talked about setting up something called the Reform Party he told Sky News yesterday that. That Reform Party would campaign for changes to the voting system abolition of the House of Lords for instance you know pretty pretty radical constitutional stuff and it's a reminder that you know he doesn't plan to go anywhere and he's a real force in this election even though the Bracks party is you're right you're right Rachael their support does seem to be crumbling and of course they wrote themselves out of the script to a large extent by saying that they wouldn't stand against Tory M.P.'s who currently hold conservative seats they will stand in others of course but you know that has given that that is neutralized in a way the threat to the Tory M.P.'s and has enabled Boris Johnson to it seems just sort of scoop up the leave vote so Nigel Farage is decisions here strategic decisions and what he's been doing of course over the last 2 or 3 years are having a big bearing on this election even if the party doesn't seem that it's really going anywhere in terms of the actual votes that will be caused on Thursday 3 days to go back 3 days will campaigning Anyway yeah no it's extraordinary in the polls I mean let's not talk about polls because they're often wrong and I certainly got the 2016 referendum wrong 2017 general election wrong but it is the guru of all of this was just writing in The Times this morning saying that if the polls are to believed at the moment in the Tories could be looking at a majority perhaps of 30 or 40 and that would be astonishing may not be the most comfortable Tory majority for more than 30 years since 1987 so there is there is confidence in the conservative camp no question about it but they also know that these lead. Can be fragile even with surgical time left of the campaign thank you very much but my top political correspondent mellowed small coverage of the election throughout the day on t.v. On your radios for your smart speaker on the b.b.c. News website go to reality check for analysis of all the statements and promises in the party manifesto. And we have John courtesy a full mentioned polling guru here on 55 breakfast after 7 o'clock this morning it 17 minutes past 6. Elite Hill. Champions League. Action from the Champions League. From 55 so. It shows the games. He's. Wanting everyone to do on Friday you want him. No I was down. The aisle into lawyer. Thing feel crap Christmas tat that goes on the Christmas tree every year things that have sentimental value very often and a woman takes it into Tell us about the 32 year old son Tom made out of an old toilet roll that had been constructed by her song when he was a nasty school now the way these things were inevitably that clip and adult being played out on a trial several times over the weekend you're probably sick of hearing it by now if you've been listening to 5 live where she just texted him this morning and sent a picture of said Santa which is so. Well isn't it doesn't very happy very miserable if he's got the biggest upside down smile I think I could ever imagine that Christmas Helen in Norfolk writes again just to reassure you the 32 year old toilet roll Santa is out of the box from the loft ready to go to the top of the tree you can understand she says why it's so special for me we are decorating it on Thursday night while watching the election results Happy Christmas that's the way to do the election isn't it I think straight jacket writing Yes exactly or several by the sounds of the watch the elected always a long a night right let's talk about. The weekend's ball loads to discuss should we start with Anthony Joshua phenomenal performance from him on Saturday Yes Will will we'll talk about a couple of items now and throughout the rest of the program you'll be able to hear a lot from Anthony Joshua but you might say he's returning to the morning after normal service was resumed for Anthony Joshua he's got his 3 heavyweight titles back he won against Andy Rees Jr in their rematch on a unanimous points decision and you're right it was exceptional boxing pugilism in the finest form and perhaps proof that the 1st fight was something of an aberration remember at the time there was rumors about his health all the talk about complacency and not take him seriously enough an opera pairing well enough with a company by this just this little rumor about and to me Joshua's health while he has revealed after winning on Saturday that indeed for that fight in Madison Square Garden the New York he was tired and drained he even had to put his face in a bucket of ice in the dressing room before going out to fights and he Ruiz eventually needed an operation to fix but he is essentially waiting a sensible amount of time to say that that might have been one of the reasons why he lost in that knock outs and he weighs what's next fantasy Joshua Akubra who left the ballgame in potentially one of the mandatory challenges for all of those belts in the spring and who say that boxing a boxing correspondent like his daughter asked Joshua where he's off to next. To London. Back in Finchley back in Sheffield books in my head down probably going to marketing locations where probably Wembley in a fight and he mentioned. Or to. Me and he had apparently wanted to get the fight that they've just had in Saudi Arabia to the new spare stadium didn't work out in terms of the dates Wembley might not work out in terms of dates for the springs so on and Joshua might take that next fight for the new the returning the 2nd time heavyweight champion of the world to the new state in which he caught the . Display I would imagine much more on the program today from Anthony Joshua and also on Castello and buns of course the 5 books in part has more Joshua found I enjoyed listening to it again on Sunday morning at stake I'm back listening to the commentary and they ran on 5 Live Sports Extra and Celtic of want to 10 straight domestic they have and against the odds to a certain degree and in the League Cup which they won for the full time in a row is an Old Firm Dhabi at Hampden they want to buy gold to nil they were down to 10 men. Jeremy Frimpong was sent off he was I think he's 18 and he's 19 in 3 days for that to happen to him and for Celtic to win I think Neil Lennon said that they were rather delighted for him that it wasn't too much of a tarnish on his day the penalty that was saved by Fraser Forster Alfredo Morales penalty and thereafter see by ranges lead to no goals but on the break and on their only shots on target Celtic got the goal is crucial and this is fascinating because Christopher's union you see on replays was offside now they don't have v.i.i. In Scotland as of yet and for all the criticism that has been taking place in the Premier League and 1st kind of full experiences of v.a.r. And everything that's been said all the criticism isn't it interesting that afterwards Steven Gerrard said while he understands that he's not 100 percent behind it he said I think it's about time that Scotland introduces So all those who have been complaining about v.a.r. And wonder about what it would be like without it again well I would imagine everything Steven Gerrard you would say. For all those decisions that are incorrect they need help apparently these on field referees and that's what it is that nobody a great weekend pep squad. Has not going to spend the morning talking about this rather enigmatic or slightly strange quotes that he had after he said that city cannot compete who he cannot compete with I don't really understand but we'll play that to a little bit later on but have to leave. In the matches the dobie has essentially said that Manchester City do not have the ability to compete with Champions League winning and regular Champions League competing teams so I'm a little bit puzzled to know what he said but I don't necessarily know what he mean this is my puzzled face today it's an accurate Yeah thank you Hugh 623 and we're going to go to Sean now who is in Crewe this morning part of the B.B.C.'s election trail around these marginal constituencies everyone will be looking at so closely come Thursday night and. Morning. Bus which is the biggest independent bus company here in this area look at public transport this morning crepes of synonymous with railways isn't it rarely and and a lot of the future developments around the area pinned on that h.s.t. Project and a lot of will they won't what will the various parties be doing this idea of reducing time from London to here and here to London for 90 minutes to 55 Labor and Liberal Democrats back to conservatives want to weigh the outcome of a review s.n.p. Want an extension to Scotland so that's the train also pretty crucial as well as you just got to get one on here in the Garrett just at the at the deputy head I'm going to check to Chris Armitage the transport manager. Do you feel like a lot of people talk about trains or lots and particular in crew. You're bus network must be serving a fair few people this morning yeah I mean we've got ACBL says out on the road this morning from 3 different sites across Staffordshire and Cheshire we've been living since this morning taking people to work in the next hour or so will start picking up school children we transport just over a 1000 schoolchildren every day to school and then after that. It's about 50 percent of our passengers across the course of the week all of them the elderly people with free passes and when you look at the numbers in the nearly 2 thirds of all public transport journeys are by bus whereas train is about 20 percent. And bus trips of risen significantly in London over the past 30 years by outside of London there's been a decline you've been and you start off as a driver now you're the transport manager I mean if you know to stay in Iraq if you've been 15 years or so in the industry if you notice big changes because of policies that the various governments of put in yeah it's. Been a very difficult one for the bus operators because we've got to introduce new vehicles in line with legislation on disability and it's a good thing for the passengers because all the Course is now a low flow of easy access bill says you can say push chairs wheel chairs on every bill Senate in the United Kingdom which is fantastic news but it comes at a cost of the vehicles of a lot bigger and as a result we are unable to save some of the mobile Levy is that you could only get that very small minibuses down in the past right but we'll have a little bit more of the rest the morning I'll let you do whatever you need to do in the carriage of this person Thanks Chris get off so you can reverse that out so you will be able to check this morning about what the various different policies could do to change paper that so many people get in touch with us throughout wake up to money this morning saying you know why in an hour for a bus every single day to get to work and that is the only way I can get to my job unless there's more developments around places like Crewe going on it's a really important part of the infrastructure so we'll see what could be done and what some of the parties a policy some of the parties are promising in all that realm as well thank you very much sure and crew throughout the morning today 626 on a set on social media last night Nicky by their own head polling data so close you can almost taste it this is a book with a taste like Ted He says the taste of Guinness and whisky hangover with no toothpaste this one had class as the menu will have you believe it is the best thing you've ever tasted but on trying it you will be underwhelmed you will feel unable to state your opinion aloud because all the other Don is a raving about the amazing. Tim says it would taste a beetroot use of the divine and said it would taste of dry cream Kaka's 50th and it'll smell of The Sweet Smell of Success or. Reek of disappointment that someone you know missed time all the Thursday we've only got how many more days talking about it when's. On the Tuesday Wednesday Thursday there will be no mention no trip to a practice Yeah well for the next 3 out of a not just not to have a dry run Ok. How do you still want to have our whole thing is that been having a nice weekend was a nice weekend was it that it's not life you know went up see a moment quite nice being out that bit of fresh air I saw how it was a lot of what's happening with the weather was plenty to talk about good with we cracked it with the weather throughout this weekend no day is going to be the same reduce we've got some very unsettled conditions ready for the next few days there's a bit of everything in the forecast of the says well no last night's. Mean yesterday is all about Storm at Sea Now we had some very strong winds across the Republic of Ireland but those strong winds transferred their way into Weil's the southwest of England where gusts up to 7080 miles an hour in parts of the south and southwest through the night and even this morning still gusting up to 65 miles an hour and these areas now those winds have peaked ease off gradually over the next few hours across whiles on the southwest but it's in the east of England where we'll see some the strongest winds transferred to say around the east coast of England particularly the North Yorkshire coastline we could see gusts of 5060 maybe even 70 miles an hour over the next few hours just something to be aware of. Her Elsewhere we've got some bright skies very clear skies which will translate the bench to when the sun comes up into some clear skies lots of sunshine around but also some showers now the showers all wintry of the higher ground of Scotland the showers gradually ease off maybe maybe just be confined with eastern areas of England eastern Scotland into the off the noon plenty of sunshine then as I mentioned in marksman temperatures will be getting up to about $6.00 to $10.00 degrees house as the winds are easing off as well through tonight spoke keeps a close. Skies across eastern parts not nice temperatures here will drop down below freezing separate or frost around 1st thing on Tuesday else whether the cloud increasing rains presence of Scotland North modern western areas of England and Wales not going to bring temperatures up overnight so about 7 or 8 degrees Celsius but then fractures that quite a windy day for many of us and choose day without lots of cloud around some outbreaks of rain particularly in Scotland north wind about patchy rain moving its way eastwards as the day goes on top temperatures on Tuesday $9.00 to $13.00 degrees Celsius it's going to turn cold often once they own words without there's the risk of those night and. A very good morning welcome to you all it is half past 6 It is Monday the month of December and you're listening to Good Morning Auster here was me Jules Hoggard on the wall Thompson Good morning our main story more hospital disruption is 900 apartments or council judgment just an action just 4 days to the polls we'll hear from some floating voters.

News this morning read by the foster Thanks Joe Good morning patience will face more disruption this week as industrial action at some of Northern Ireland hospitals is expected to continue the Belfast Health Trust has counseled 900 routine patient appointments for today all hospital surgical procedures in peace and a day kisses will proceed as normal in its hospitals the latest informational disruptions and consolations is available on the Health and Social Care website health unions rejected a payoff are on Thursday evening in the disputes.

Election to be it last night the parties go head to head on b.b.c. Northern Ireland again tomorrow night before voters have their say at the polls on Thursday business activity in Northern Ireland's private sector fell at its sharpest rate in 7 years last month according to a survey by Ulster Bank last month companies here reported the sharpest decline in new orders since May 2012 retail and construction were hardest hit with bricks at on certainty the main reason for the decline according to the survey respondents said there's a wariness among customers to commit to new projects at least one person has died following the eruption of a volcano in New Zealand on an offshore island popular with tourists a number of others are unaccounted for the eruption on White Island sent a plume of ash thousands of feet into the air and rescue operation is underway deputy police commissioner John Timoney said there were fewer people on the island than originally feared where now know that there is fewer than 50 some of these people have been transported to shore However there is a number still remaining on the oil and who are currently unaccounted for. I can confirm there's one fatality and based on information we have is likely to be more I thought for the moment nice infill at 7 just with us it wasn't as bad as we feared it might be overnight Jeff no no we're just shy of 60 mile an hour gusts all it had was the was the peak wind gusts much when given the south and west through the this evening and overnight for us today any early showers will fade but it is going to stay quite chilly highs today of 69 Celsius but it will feel cooler than that in what is quite a keen northerly breeze but today is a dry and bright day in fact to be mostly sunny throughout but breezy during the day the cloud will tend to build later in the in the late afternoon turning out sunshine hazy and the Kaval thicken up through the evening this rain moves in from the west but if you have outside jobs today is absolutely the day do them because tomorrow is horrible Ok thanks a lot Jeff Leila's here live I can't remember the last Saturday night I probably would we both had reason to watch much of the day now with our feet and I think I think it's fair to say my of what star goes back more than once a lot I mean I don't I'm Ferguson's goal celebrations a United are never both winning on the same Saturday and then we face the other next week and I know I'll have to solve for side entry guys there's a program on how.

Thank you very much new grads will talk to you in an OS time not it's got our farming news it comes this morning from Bernie Allan good morning 1st today our refrigerator had container with 50 beef consciouses has been stolen and Conti arm the 40 foot container was taken from premises and the Red Lion Road area of local on Friday the unit was recovered by Gardy and on dock and Conti place have a paint for and from Asian next this morning on Friday the salon a great paled a conference at cafes green mind campus the potato seed company hasn't had an event in Northern Ireland and 15 years and on Friday at the conference I had a chat with the company's managing director Gavin Craig Stephen we're struggling to something respect thing and youngsters coming into the scene know because you know I'm particular across he had any farming is still very much focused on most young farmers minds we have to try and make the potato industry more interesting and involve more talented people coming to it because innovation and changes will come through the youngsters coming in and having new ideas and why does the potato industry here in Northern Ireland compare to the rest of the. It's obviously once upon a time back in the early eighties nineties was a much bigger business and for a number of different reasons it's fallen by the wayside like a dozen other countries in Europe unfortunately we have. To try and get youngsters to understand a little bit more about potatoes potatoes at a messy thing I know you can buy them disappear markets wash but you say you know everybody's on a bit faster feed. We've looked to the solid market with smaller potatoes and they can be prepared in quicker times and we think that's perhaps one of the way forward in Northern Ireland there are 290 where growers on the 3 biggest cities of potatoes certified by area are Maurice Piper and cares pink a number of farmers attended the event on Friday and whilst they were having a look around the venue I asked them what the challenges are for the potato sector at the moment. My name's Dave or I'm from DARPA or stop near the north coast near Korean What type of potatoes do you grow we're growing up from any cherished p.b. Long period of 3 to p.b. 3 Q 4 we've grown the most money. In a sex I mean salmon I think far from on high Have you find the industry challenging from from. Well or especially this year a Didn't affect the crow it was actually it wasn't a I was a very good growing season of The Better than last year I just want to come to the back end for Doug and that was challenging enough to say the least it's a lot of very dry grain and even that was what was done in places Costa growing afraid of Tessa Sask a nominal in home a machine. Just about farm really you know group of us pulled them based on when the sheep just start off and they followed after Lefkow What are the main challenges in the potato industry at the moment in order for a growing or part of the corner of the us to go into sports but there are very few left and finally this morning here's to miss McManaman with a lick plants are closing for the week ahead and there were a couple trades continue to show signs of improvement this morning rains 3 Tallington to say 32 pounds could do for humans to the Great Plains of the. Most of the plans are called from 328 to 3 30 pm to cater for those 2 years now versus when the country was held relatively steady with quotes of 230 to 50 pounds Q 2 for 0 plus 3 great inquiries and when the devil has continued to form courses training to Penske to up to 22 kilos for the major procedures processes this morning I'm not sure farming nice for this morning. Bernie thank you the headlines at 645 patients will face more destruction this week as industrial action at some of our hospitals is expected to continue the 5 men strong parties of clashed over Bexar health care and the collapse of this the u.t.v. Election debate last night and business activity in our private sector fell at that sharpest rate in 7 years last month according to an Ulster Bank survey just just as expected to get to the headlines at $645.00 because we're usually. Challenge away but I'm here so it's all gave Richard sheer will give the weather forecast later I'll get to the business activity that was mentioned in the lines in a moment I'll start with just story that was doing the rounds yesterday and that's their prime minister has attempted to play dine the extent of new checks on goods crossing the r e c as part of his breakfast deal Boris Johnson was responding to questions about that leaked Treasury document which said the deal would mean you checks on goods being traded between Great Britain and Northern Ireland so he insisted there will not be any checks for goods travelling from Northern Ireland to be on the his breakfast deal his deal does mean there will be goods checks from g.b. To n.i. But there has been confusion on whether there will be checks in the other direction so on their disagreement Northern Ireland would continue to follow many e.u. Rules on food and manufactured goods while the rest of the u.k. Would not Northern Ireland who also continue to follow e.u. Customs rules but would remain part of the U.K.'s customs territory Mr Johnston insisted on Sky News yesterday that it will be relatively Check Free only checks that there would be would be if something was coming from g.b. Via northern Oland and was going on to the road Republic then there might be checks at the border into Northern Ireland but trade groups are saying that this does not accurately reflect the current deal so for some goods that state food e.u. Law requires checks at the point of entry into the single market which would effectively. The Northern Ireland and wouldn't matter if the goods were going onto the republic or not here's what in Connolly of Northern Ireland Retail Consortium told b.b.c. News line last night well if that's what the prime minister is saying then we would very much like to see the detail of how he says that we can do that because it's not what our rating of the day is it's not what trade experts rating of the day is and what we're saying is exactly the same as what I said to the House of Lords you Committee on the 29th of October as this day puts borrowers dying they are say that have never been there before that gives costs and complexities that we've never had before and those costs are Ella fordable by the consumers in Northern Ireland because we've half of the discretionary income of the u.k. Households so if the prime minister does believe that there's not going to be and it checks instead of nice words is actually going to show a need just to show us how this will work in practice because our reading of this is substantially different I'm saying that what the prime minister has said doesn't op to what where saying to walk the trade experts have said and even to watch this and the day for example of one lorry load will have a 1000 products that will have a 1000 different codes on it that will need to be checked it will have hundreds of products that are available large and which will need to have export house certificates that's on the data at the moment he needs to provide we are able to move goods from Great Britain to shop shelves in Northern Ireland without having to do that because under the current plan thoughts what we have to do it in Connolly There's plenty on the b.b.c. News website about this economics and business editor John Campbell has written up a bit of a reality check piece and he'll be on the program after 8 o'clock this morning but it was mentioned in the headlines by business activity in Northern Ireland's private sector it has fallen out of sharpest rate in 7 years last month according to a survey by Ulster going through every month buying businesses right across the private sector. By things like your daughter's exports and staffing levels and that is considered to be a reliable indicator of economic performance and last month companies in Northern Ireland reported the sharpest decline in New Yorkers since May 20 twentieth's Breck's it on certainty was the main reason for the decline according to the survey will be exploring it in more detail in the next hour of the program with Richard Ramsey and we'll also be asking Richard about what to expect this week when it comes to the markets and currency rates given the impending general election on Thursday but for this morning currency market wise a point is trading at $1.31 and $1.00 euro 19 a euro this morning worth 84 pence Richard thanks very much Jeff is here and Richard obviously. Bring us the resistors Wired While Jeff was watching the highlights of the Manchester Darby for the 27th time I think Jeff 20 twentieth's and those Good good now we may have missed the worst of still material this still what's going on with our weather this week it was a cold wet and windy weekend gusts in Northern Ireland overnight 59 miles an hour all it had that is well down on the top speeds that we recorded that roaches point in Arlington County Cork 70 mile an hour gusts there Mace had 74 miles an hour and can't go away still got a windy day today though a few showers running in on that northerly breeze currently gusting around 45 miles an hour along the North Channel coast through the day those showers will fade the winds ease down will see plenty of winter sunshine as the high pressure builds in to give us a dry clear day with highs of $69.00 Celsius but this afternoon that sunshine starts to turn hazy as the cloud fills in the winds come around out of the south and that is the 1st sign of a big change because through this evening the cloud is going to thicken up and the rain moves in from the west as the winds build and I have to say that tomorrow he says here is a wet and stormy day with very strong winds frequent bands of heavy rain cloud and rains banding together to school the showers later on these could be a little bit wintry over. Hi Grant stays windy through the day highs of 9 to 12 Celsius so it's really wet mild air that's coming in and then those temperatures drop off a cliff on Wednesday because Wells was still in a cloudy breezy Sherry set up on Wednesday we've got air from a different direction 48 degrees as good as it gets Wednesday and that's where we kind of stay through the back half of this week Thursday as an area of low pressure sitting just to the north of us it means that none of them is when does the rest of Ireland still some showers working through and I'll find those showers could again turn a little bit wintry. Thanking you sir let's go now to our thought for the day and our speaker today is the Reverend Lynn Gibson if I were a betting person I'd be willing to bet that you never received a Christmas card with John the Baptist on the front Technically I suppose he's more of an Advent man preparing the way for Jesus at Christmas but as Christmas comes around earlier each year you might imagine he would get a look in but while men and animal skins shouting about repentance munching on locusts and wild honey don't gel with the Christmas theme despite his vital role is the forerunner John has moved off stage when Jesus arrives and has no part to play in our Christmas pageant but it isn't just John the Baptist who is sidelined there are others in the journey to Christmas who appear and then disappear you have a key part to play but a new starring role in our modern secular Christmas Zachariah the father of John the Baptist struck dumb for his disbelief at the news of his son's arrival and what of the innkeeper the man known throughout history for saying no to Mary and Joseph . He doesn't get a good press when as a busy man in the Throne of a busy census Croyde he offers shelter and sanctuary where he come and finally a corrector was no speaking part the donkey overworked silent under-valued and yet a creature chosen to carry the as yet unborn Jesus to Bethlehem for his birth and finally to carry him to Jerusalem to his death it's easy to walk our own journey and live our own story noticing only the low voices and the big personalities today keep an eye out for those with no voice those who are working under pressure those struggling under heavy loads it might just be those who serve God best they might have a bigger part to play in your story than you could ever realize and maybe next year we'll have prophets innkeepers and donkeys on our Christmas cards then Gibson's thought for the day of Aquino has erupted on an island in New Zealand popular with tourists Rescue workers say up to 20 people have been injured and at least one person has been killed but the authorities say that number is likely to rise his deputy police commissioner John terms at this stage it is too dangerous for place and rescue services to go to the oil. Yond as currently covered in all kind of material we are taking expert advice with regards to the psyche of any risk you attempt I can confirm there's one fatality and based on information we have is likely to be more White Island is one of New Zealand's most active volcanoes despite that it's a popular tourist destination with frequent day turns and scenic flights available is supported around 50 people were visiting at the time some are still unaccounted for live footage coming from the volcanoes showed tourists walking inside the rim of the crater just moments before the eruption zillions prime ministers descend. We know already that there were I number of tourists on or around the island at the time both New Zealand is and visit is from the Ses I know there will be a huge amount of consume and anxiety for those who have loved ones on or around the island at the time and I can assure them police are doing it every thing they can well I would listeners have described the eruption as looking like a mushroom cloud police are warning people living near the area to be aware of the potential for us fall and they are telling them to stay indoors doctor can Gledhill is from New Zealand's geoscience Research Institute It was almost like a throat clearing kind of eruption that went up about 12000 meters into the sky and so on the scheme of things for volcanic eruptions is not large but if you're close to it is of it's not good Listen to say a developing story you can keep up to date with the very latest on the b.b.c. News website 656 labor is promising a budget and a steady in its 1st 100 days of government if it wins those days election the party also says it will get money moving out of London Boris Johnson is spending the last days of the company visiting Labor's traditional heartlands is accusing Jeremy Corbyn of betraying voters on bricks that here's the B.B.C.'s crew. This is the bit where everyone covering the campaign is exhausted and those at the center of it the political leaders like to prove that they're full of energy I ready for the governing task ahead if they win and so embark on these sort of Mads dashes around the country drumming home their coal messages so we're going to see Boris Johnson the conservative leader in traditional Labor leave supporting areas of the North of England to the north east of England a little lights to die by going home not essential message the central reason why this election is come about Brecht States she'll see him returning to that coal theme and saying that only he is a conservative leader with a majority could possibly deliver vow to deliver it by the end of January what are you going to get from labor you going to get public services so you can hit talk about a budget within the 1st 100 days the idea of bringing some utilities things like water companies back into national hands being taken out a private company hands similarly going to get the s.m.p. And you get the Greens and the Lib Dems implied come very all of the of those doing a lot of dashing about because they know that this is the absolutely crucial week perhaps for some people perfectly reasonably this is the point that they chewed in to the election campaign because this is the week that actually matters.
