with a funding gap of £500 million. the result has been a series of budget cuts, the latest of which hit the news division on wednesday. although more money is being put into digitaljournalism and some broadcast services are being expanded the news at one doubling in length to an hour, for instance elsewhere, savings are being made. newsnight is losing half its staff, shortening its duration, and instead of the current magazine format with filmed reports and investigations, will become an interview, debate and discussion show. gabriel gatehouse, a former correspondent on the programme, had this response. but viewer david wright pointed out. while terry pearson questioned the thinking behind this week s changes. well, we ll be discussing the logic behind wednesday s announcement in a moment. but first, if this is the end of newsnight as we know it, what exactly is being lost without any dedicated correspondents and i should say, i was one of them in the 1990s or a bud

But our Political Editor nick watt has been around westminster finding out how this is all going down, and hes with me now. Can we put a figure on it . We can confirm that the uk has agreed to the eu framework for settling that financial divorce bill with eu when we leave. Stage one came in the Prime Ministers speech in florence when she said that the uk would agree to cover it share of the eu budget up to the end of 2020. The final stage has come just now, which is that the uk has agreed that it will meet its liabilities racked up as a member of the european union. Where you go from there is a matter of dispute.

So then you may have a family of five in one room. Because actually they dont want t
Holywell in flintshire. We see why it hurts, and what traders can do about it. They all say that they are for the businesses and that and yet theyre not helping us at all. Theyre making it harder for us to get to them. Because if we run out of change or need to do a bank for cash and that, you cantjust nip to the bank any more. Youve got to physically go to a town somewhere else. Hello, happy new year. Hopefully. But who will it be a happy new year for . Thats where we start tonight as we take advantage of the fact that 2018 is still in its warm up phase to look at politics here, and how it might evolve. As always, the big battle is the one between the conservatives and labour and rarely has the choice between them been as stark. So how a minority conservative government gets on, and whether labour can threaten it is an obvious issue for the year ahead.
