simon: yes. we are probably talking, if you are looking at the end of the forecast to, probably 20 or 30 basis points. but that will still lead to the end of the forecasting horizon below 80% target, and therefore, the more relevant shift won't be an upgrade based on longer persistence, but a move to's electrical inflation target. deaf a move to symmetrical inflation target -- but a move to the symmetrical inflation target. i'm not sure we would see the hype of land which would will see a curve steepen her in europe. alix: on the flipside, if we dig look at the fed, we saw some aggressive pricing of rate hikes. that got rung out pretty fast on friday. i am wondering how long we can look at a potential divergence between the fed and the ecb. if we can sustain a divergence, how why does it have to be? simon: i think the fed pricing curve is wrong. i've been very vocal on that. i think the u.k. pricing curve is wrong in terms of assuming -- in the u.s., we were assuming ahead of the omicron variant

simon: tidal? francine: hydrogen. simon: hydrogen is an important part of the decarbonization, but it does not solve the electricity supply because so expensive. if you think about what you do with hydrogen, you are compressing it, storing it, transporting it, and then back to a fuel-cell. the efficiency is less than 40%. xlinks products are so much more efficient, half the cost of hydrogen. tom: we wish you luck. that is simon morrish, ceo, xlinks. coming up, we focus on the u.k. after a busy day, what are the implications for the bank of england next month? this is bloomberg. ♪ tom: welcome back to the open, 54 minutes into the european trading day. flat across the benchmark but some upside for the u.k. the dax down 0.1%. futures in the u.s. pointing up 0.2% after the selloff yesterday. basic resources gaining. travel and leisure down more than 1%. this focus on the u.k. and the economy going more than expected after a surge in services and construction. let's bring in lizzy burden. lizzy: the numbers came in abov

i think simon hit - the nail on the head. there's this beautiful moment for news programming where i the audience is so dedicated — so you don't have to worry - as much about losing those customers, they're there. i and also, because the overhead cost is so much lower— than a general entertainment streamer — and to put- that into perspective, . i can't speak to simon's budget, of course, _ but i imagine somewhere close to netflix spending $18 billion a year on content in order- to remain ahead of the pack. so when we look at i the different services being offered, you've got one category, your general- entertainment streamers — the studios who are now. becoming streamers saying, i "we want to own and distribute our own content.

and here in the studio, the bbc�*s business editor simon jack. cop26, which begins in glasgow this weekend, is supposed to be the moment when the world's nations present individual beefed—up pledges to mitigate climate change, agreed rules to prevent double counting and honour previously agreed plans in which the poorer countries can adapt to survive. the summit host, that perennial optimist borisjohnson, says its success or failure is in the balance. the queen, usually a valuable asset in the last—minute lobbying and arm—twisting that characterises so much, won't be there. on medical advice, say courtiers. still, her majesty's said recently of cop26 "it is very irritating when they talk about don't do". henry, why might we now be in the realm of expectation management for this summit? well, certainly, borisjohnson has been criticised by people as intending to overpromise and underachieve, but i think he has gone on the opposite direction right now in in underpromising in hopes he might overachieve. he said it was touch and go in terms of w

. >> host: why do you think mike pence were senator josh holly would go to simon and schuster and go through several rather than being published by regnery? >> guest: of course i don't know in either case specifically, but there are two kind of obvious reasons that come to mind. one is hope that they can navigate their way through a very liberal and will culture at the big publishing houses they can navigate their way through and still be able to get their message out and the other answer is money. unfortunately, they are some of the biggest celebrity authors that new york publishers will still pay a very big advance. that isn't to say that they haven't paid big advances. they have, but in some cases they will overpay because they like the idea of the celebrity on their list. although, you know i think that is changing as well and there are as we have seen recently big celebrities, donald trump of being number one, big celebrity authors that new york has said they will not publish. my belief is that it is incumbent upon all authors to ask is this a partner that i feel has enough inte

simon and zillow are two sides of the coin and it's interesting that they came up at the same time i walked away. simon, i was validated almost immediately and started buying them in the 60s and what i thought i had right turned out the thing i had right which was the mass exodus of the suburbs was going to mean grit things for a-class malls and the type of places where you'll shop and it's the day's activity with your family and the restaurants and movie theaters and all of the other things that come alongside the stores themselveses the other thing with simon is they're good operators of retailers. they have a joint venture by which they buy jc penney and brooks brothers and put in people to operate them and david simon went out of his way to point out that a lot of this earnings growth and the shocking upside how well the retailers that are turning around are doing within the malls thery a lot here to like and blew out guidance and adjusted funds of admiration. very big dif dent increase, and i'm going to stick with this thing and what's instructed about it for me is i added to it

i mean, it's interesting, listening to his comments in terms of what to make — this is steve simon — what to make of this, because they are pretty hard—hitting. 0h, absolutely. no, i think they really had to make a choice here, the wta, whether it was going to sort of step back in lieu of its enormous business investments into china — unintelligible of the tour into china and the chinese market after the success of li na, who won the french open in 2011, it was really seen as being a windfall for women's tennis and they could open this new chinese market and tap into it and they put many of their biggest tournaments there. but the tour today, and steve simon, made pretty clear they are standing behind their player and wanting to stand up to the chinese government and the sort of censorship and things like that that are attached to it. i think he went as far with the new york times as to say that if there is not an investigation, "we'll have to make some decisions and we are prepared to do so". as you point out, this is a huge financial risk, in a sense, isn't it? absolutely. no,

, head of the women's tennis association because simon has been leading the charge on your behalf. the ioc, international olympic committee, has been very, very quiet about this, and this suggests to me that peng made the call to thomas bach not because she picked him on her own but because beijing was freaking out that they might lose the winter games which start on february 4th, so it seems to me that this is an indication that the coercion on peng is real and it's continuing. >> so you believe the chinese government was commandeering likely this video call because in a couple of weeks, couple of months, the beijing winters games will be taking place, so besides feeling that level of skepticism about the intention of why reaching out to the ioc. do you believe what she's saying. do you believe that -- that that is indeed she speaking on her own will and accord. >> i don't, and the reason is we've seen a number of propaganda videos in the last couple of days, so, for instance, one from yesterday in the beijing restaurant. obviously the conversation was scripted. her coach and some

this is bbc world news, i'm simon pusey. our top stories: the new omicron strain of coronavirus is detected across europe, with cases confirmed in germany, italy, belgium, the czech republic and the uk, prompting new measures. we will require all contacts of those who test positive with a suspected case of omicron self isolate for ten days, regardless of your vaccination status. israel plans to ban the entry of all foreigners for two weeks from sunday night to tackle the spread of the omicron variant. tennis officials say they're still concerned about chinese tennis star peng shuai's ability to communicate freely, openly, and directly. #go # go easy on me baby #. and rolling in the success — adele's new album shoots to number one, becoming the fastest—selling album of the year. coronavirus restrictions in the uk are to be tightened again, after two cases of the new omicron variant were confirmed in england. from next week, face coverings will become mandatory in shops and on public transport, and everyone entering the uk

and so simon, what's your view of where we're at right now? do you think this company is gonna deliver? well, we're in this like difficult in game, and i think one of the important elements that is in there is that it asking countries to come back next year with improved climate plans. and that means that 1.5 we could hang on with our fingernails if that survives to the very end of the final gap. because at the moment it's 2025, isn't it? so that's another 4 years ways. the idea is to get it to next year, but not everybody wants that to happen, right? exactly. not everyone wants to happen, but they, us, china, declaration of a couple of days ago. did set out that that was a possibility vagina. and if you get john or new s 44 percent of global emissions saying it, they can live with plans for next year. then they can bring other countries on board. and that's what we really need to see now is united states and also the european union. he's been very quiet, very, very missing from the talks to step up in solidarity with the small island state an

well, he is definitely de—escalating the irish position after, as laura said, simon coveney, his deputy, escalated it a few weeks ago and he sort of suggested that the uk has been doing that privately, diplomatically, with other people around the world as well. now, whether that is true, whether that is a tactic he is deploying to reduce the temperature and actually, the uk has not been doing that, then i also wonder if there will be a bit of blowback from that because david frost and borisjohnson like to look like the hard men in and so if they have got people on their backs going, "hang on, have you dialled down these threats about article 16?" that could cause them a little bit of a domestic political problem. also, ijust think, two other little things that i scribbled down — he were sort ofjoking, but he sort of meant it, please do not make it another christmas eve crisis! and he is a well—known impressionist and he denied that he has been working on a borisjohnson impression! what was interesting as well is that the last few days, i have been talking to people on the uk side ab

recently made an offer to buy simon and schuster. the justice department filed suit but now the authors guild has weighed in saying we are heartened by the strong consistent focus on authors and its understanding of the fact that authors inevitably lose income when there's competition that impacts the public because fewer important books are written. the $2.2 billion merger between penguin and a simon and schuster was announced last year. the publishers intend to contest the decision. in other words, britain's largest literary prize was awarded this week. this year's prize was given to south african author damon for his book the promise. this was his third nomination and first time receiving the prize. and in other news, the library association has announced their finalists for this year's andrew carnegie metals for excellence 400 sold, by e brown can be. a little devil when america is also nominated, and kristin. the winner will be enabled january 203rd. the national book awards are being held on november 17th in new york city. it i

thank you for the update, simon _ from a single boat. thank you for the update, simon jones, - from a single boat. thank you for the update, simon jones, our. the update, simonjones, our correspondent. he was live in dover. we will have more on that story before the end of the programme. here in scotland, the first minister has told the bbc today that she will present legislation to the scottish parliament, paving the way to a possible referendum on independence. nicola sturgeon said she was committed to trying to hold a vote by the end of 2023, and that work had already started on setting out what an independent scotland would look like. but a referendum can't take place without approval from westminster. the first minister also dismissed rumours about her future, declaring that she would serve a full term until 2026. ms sturgeon was speaking to our political editor, laura kuenssberg. the view from the top, on the desk of a politician who wants to stay there. nicola sturgeon was already in charge before brexit, before borisjohnson in nu

simon: i think there have been lots of difficulties along the way. lots of things have been criticized by various people. the slope initial rollout of the vaccine program, for instance, according to some. some are saying the booster campaign is also moving slowly. at any rate, too few people are vaccinated even now. that is a key point. communication has not always been the best with politicians not always explaining why the rules are being brought in, why they are being changed. as ever in germany, there are questions of differences in different states. you have had different rules in different places. one of them is a national regime. i think that is adding to people's uncertainty, and of course, germany is a country of rules. you need a good legal basis even to introduce things like mask wearing on public transport. politicians have fiddled with details rather than getting it done in many cases. in some places, rules are a lot stricter than others, and you also have to say there has been quite a lot of opposition to any of the rules, even when the

simon: probably not. it is great that they are talking and probably both sides will want to put a positive spin on the talks. having said that, disagreements on issues like taiwan are really profound and domestic policies on both sides mitigate against real progress. there have been rumors of a major gesture by the u.s. on tariffs, but for the u.s. to significantly reduce tariffs, there would have to be a major breakthrough on something like ip protection, and that seems very unlikely. so i doubt it will be market moving. haslinda: simon flint, thank you so much for those in size. some breaking news out of thailand. third quarter gdp falling, 0.3% year on year, better than expected estimates of a contraction of 1.3%. a drop to 0.3% versus projections of -1.3%. we had the bot keeping rates unchanged. it is expected to have better recovery as the economy reopens. yvonne: yeah. and we had three companies report gdp -- well, two. japan was in a contraction and china looking better than the numbers in thailand
