at last talks yesterday, transport for london said it offered to com plete for london said it offered to complete new stuff, but the union said that was too little too late. the mayor of london, siddique khan, said the strike would cause misery for millions of londoners and said there was a good deal sitting on the table but would ensure station safety. —— them out. the last major tube strike was in the summer of 2015. as on that occasion, there will be extra buses, but it is expected they will struggle to cope with demand. if tube stations open at all, it will probably be later than normal, and many will close at seven o'clock in the evening even though the strike will have finished by then. transport for london says it expects the tube service to be severely restricted. coming up at six o'clock on breakfast, charlie and naga will have all the day's news, business and sport. they'll also have more on why a leading pet charity say they're helping more people decide what to do if they're unable to take pets into care homes or sheltered accommodation. you are watching bbc world news

brexit cannot just be about more control for london. it's certainly heartening that the government has understood the need for an industrial strategy, making things matter. in november, i read in the evening standard that the secretary of state for our exit from the european union, david davis, had agreed with the london mayor, sadiq khan, that he would have a monthly face—to—face meeting and this would take place both before and after article 50. so that the position of london could be understood at every stage of the negotiation. as far as i know, there is no such arrangement for the north—east of england. if there are negotiations, and money is to come back, let that go to the regions, let's have constitutional change. in scotland, they want more powers for devolution, and probably stay in, as they say. we've combined, and i've combined with my colleague gordon brown, together, to see if scotland and the north, as a powerhouse, if you want a real powerhouse, put scotland and the north together for the same reason. to redistribu

that is why, for example, you have many american investment banks based in london. that is because they can do business in whatever european country freely. that will not be the case if the uk does not manage to reach a special agreement for accessing the special european market. these banks will have to negotiate and basically the uk will have to negotiate individually with different member states. quite frankly, the easy solution for these banks is to relocate part of their activities on the continent. not all of them, part of them. it is interesting. when you look at the sentiment from both sides, like donald tusk saying it will be a difficult negotiation process, theresa may saying if they do not get the vote they want they will exit completely. in that situation, what do we see for the future of the city of london in terms of how it will operate? she implied in her speech that she will change the goalposts in terms of how things go in london, taxing, regulation, so it becomes better on the ground. yeah. i think there are two things here. political posturing, if
