if you see u.k. domestic companies underperform, you see sterling more volatile and sometimes falling as we had in the last week or so on the news. you see the ftse 100, a more international index, earnings have become -- now i should say we are ultimately expecting the u.k. to agree, the u.k. and the e.u. to agree on a free trade deal. not to have tariffs between the u.k. and the e.u. or particular non-tariff areas as well. we think they will come up with a deal eventually. there is going to be a lot of risk though. matt: that's incredibly optimistic sharon, especially considering the state of the relationship right now. and the p.m.'s seeming disregard for the law and treaties that he has recently signed. why do you think the u.k. and the e.u. are going to come to such a big no-tariff trade deal and do you mean like now or in decade? >> you never know. we think there would there will be one before the end of this year. there no doubt at all that the actions of the u.k. government in the last week o

and in the u.k. as well, if we lost fiscal stimulus, it is clear from the u.k. government that they want to avoid a national lockdown, but also that they have wanted to kind of rollback on things like -- if there is genuine push for a much more expansive restriction, maybe not full lockdown but restriction of activity, especially for certain sectors, that is probably an environment in which there is much more pressure, where they will have more support there, so maybe fiscal might also come down a little bit. francine: if you look at what is happening with travel and leisure stocks, they are severely under pressure. can they impact the rest of the market toward december? is this one of what we call the scarring things, and will that ever recover? that is one of the hardest things with the travel and leisure sector. if you have a holiday that gets get itd, you cannot back, you cannot go all day again, you're not necessarily going to go twice. is one of those parts of the economy that is really hard to re-create, rebuild what is lost. so that being said, broader t

and eu are beginning this week. >> the u.k. government wants to persuade voters in the u.k. but also persuade the eu negotiators the it is prepared to walk away and it has a plan. it strikes me what we're hearing is related to that because essentially, what ministers are saying is that if there is a dispute over what is going into northern ireland and whether it's going to end up in the eu and should face tariffs, if they can't agree that with the eu, the u.k. will make a unilateral decision. the argument that is being made is that is that the most sensible thing to do because they will avoid a default where everything moving into northern ireland from great britain needs tariffs. there is real concern at westminster that this is potentially undermining the uk's place especially after the astonishing admission from the northern ireland secretary that yes it could mean some circumstances breaking international law. >> that's one big familiar issue. another is level playing field. if the u.k. wants a trade deal with the eu, and needs to agree to regulations. where are we on th

you just referenced u.k.. u.k. assets may look somewhat attractive on a valuation, but global investors would do well to avoid this value trap. why is the u.k. a value trap? seema: i don't even know where to start with the u.k. to me it just looks like a complete basket case. you have the brexit discussions taking such a negative turn at precisely the wrong moment, when economic data is starting to lose momentum. you have covid numbers picking up to the point that we may be the only country in the world where we are actually discussing another national lockdown. it just goes to show the kind of problems the u.k. economy is facing. yes, from a valuation perspective, maybe it does look more attractive than other parts of the world, but i would say that investors should be very worried because there's a lot of hurdles coming into the u.k. over the coming months. alix: where's the safety trade? trade is stillty mega caps. i understand that these valuations, it is not going to be everyone's cup of tea, but you have to l

well the bottom line is that the u.k. is planning this week to publish u.k. law that basically goes against the agreement that the u.k. has with the european union and the so-called withdrawal agreement which is basically the divorce agreement britain leaving the e.u. now going out how is the divorce how is this going to be handled with this new law especially when it comes to the trade within northern ireland there are some technical issues that trade issues with the u.k. if this is true and if they really do publish this bill on wednesday then that would go against agreement that the u.k. has with the european union and of course this court alarm bells ringing here in the u.k. because many who observation the government the new government critics but also experts in these trade negotiations they say well the u.k. wants to be this global britain once and leave the european union but on the other hand britain needs to be trusted within the international community so how come that kate plans to go back on something that's been agreed and that's international l

has put the u.k. on notice that if by the end of this month in just 8 days time the u.k. doesn't withdraw that threats then the e.u. will effectively sue them through through the european courts and the other deadline of course they do is a apart from this is the october a huge summits at which point both sides say that needs to be a deal but it's looking vanishingly less likely that that will happen and of course they are the people who are right at the front line of the sharp end of all these are the businesses and people and towns right on the ball at the irish border between the north and the self because they had all thought that they would all agreement pushed the trade border into the irish sea and that therefore there would be no return to our border across ireland at all and the fact the british government suggested that it might undermine the withdrawal agreement puts that hard border straight back on the table so let's talk to qana patterson who's from the near enterprise agency and the chamber of commerce as well. what was your action to come to germany when w
