here's the director of the migration 0bservatory at oxford university. a lot of the industries we are talking about are actually not very profitable, but some of them may be able to make rely more on machines in other cases, they may not have those options and may simply either produce less or in some cases even go out of business. critics of the scheme say low salaries don't always equate with low skills. the social care sector is one example. it's a particularly important one because conservative party pledged during last year's election campaign to fix the system that cares for older and disabled people. research done by the skills for care group has found the average hourly wage is £8.10 — based on a a0 hour week, that doesn't meet the salary threshold. and we know that almost a fifth of the social care workforce is from outside of the uk, and there are currently more than 120,000 unfilled jobs in this sector in england alone. this is the manager of one dementia specialist care home in scarborough. we have a crisis recruiting here, and in in this

george magness of oxford university, really nice to see you in person. thanks to david westin as well. the voices you need to hear for the topics of the day. now i want to get an update on what is making headlines outside the business world. viviana hurtado is here with first word news. viviana: begin with a surprising rebuke of president trump from one of his most loyal cabinet members. attorney general william barr says that tweets about ongoing cases make his job impossible. he says the commentary undercuts him. president trump already vowed to veto a resolution to restrict his ability to wage war against iran. the u.s. senate approving the measure, expected to be passed by the u.s. house. eight republican senators joining the democrats in voting yes, but there aren't enough votes to override a presidential veto. we end with british prime minister boris johnson taking more control of the u.k. treasury. that could lead to a more generous trump style stimulus. rather than give to mr. johnson's demand to fire his top advisers, city javid -- advisors, so

helen gittos is a professor of medieval history at oxford university. in 2014, while living in canterbury, she became nervous over a second pregnancy — having nearly lost her first child due to complications in labour — but she says east kent hospitals weren't interested in her concerns. there was little desire to talk with me about what would make me feel safe. i was just told, "this is how we do it, these are our policies." helen asked to give birth at this hospital in margate in a unit staffed solely by midwives but was refused. she therefore opted for a home birth but when her labour failed to progress, she was transferred to hospital where, she says, her problems began. i was eventually seen by the senior doctor and at that stage, it felt to me as if... i knew she was dying. harriet was born in a poor condition and struggled for life, but died in august 2014, aged eight days. she looked about as unwell as a baby could look, as ill as she was. amid all the heartache, helen was left to feel as though she was to blame for harriet‘s death. that w

university. he was previously at the international monetary fund. this is his take on the economic fallout from the coronavirus outbreak. what looked like an outbreak that had the potential to be contained and have limited damage is now certainly spreading into something that looks like it could be much more virulent for the world economy as well. i think disruptions both in terms of demand, because travel and tourism are being hit, and supply disruptions as well, because supply chains around the world are being affected and investment plans will be put on hold because of the uncertainty created by the spread of this virus and the lack of clarity about when exactly it is going to be contained. so there could be fairly significant damage both in the short term and in the long term economic growth prospects. if it is possible to quantify, what causes the most economic damage? the quarantine, the shutdown or the death or the nervousness and the panic on the market, the reaction from the market? fina

we're joined now by danny dorling, a professor of human geography at oxford university who has been looking at these trends for the past decade. a lot of the reporting today about theirs has been about the connection between life expectancy and austerity, in that austerity has had an influence on that. why do you think that is? we first saw the beginnings of this around about 2012. by 2013, data was being released showing that elderly women in britain, their life expectancy have fallen by about two weeks. elderly women aren't particularly likely to live on their own, they are more likely to be in need of ca re are more likely to be in need of care and help from the state and the kind of things that are happening after austerity was introduced, as long ago asjust after austerity was introduced, as long ago as just after 2010, was that at the number of adult social workers, social workers who go and visit elderly people, was halved. bus services visit elderly people, was halved. bus services were visit elderly people, was halved. bus services were cut in rural areas, meals on wheels were cut
