the ratings agency moody's has downgraded britain's long—term credit rating. it says it made the decision because of the economic uncertainty caused by the brexit negotiations and the likelihood that the public finances would become weaker. downing street said the firm's assessments were outdated. well, jessica parker spoke to alistair wilson from moody's to ask him why the credit rating had been downgraded. we have downgrade uk for two reasons, firstly because we no longer have confidence that the uk government plans to bring the debt load down will come to fruition, and secondly because of the economic impact that we think brexit will have. another factor we have impact that we think brexit will have. anotherfactor we have taken into account is the distraction that brexit will pose to policymakers. the decision was made earlier this week, before the prime minister made his speech in florence about brexit. downing street says your findings are outdated, what do you say to that? i have read the speech, it doesn't change our view at all. it is certainly not out

now moodys have moved it down another level to aa2. it says it made the decision because of the economic uncertainty caused by the brexit negotiations and the likelihood that the public finances would become weaker. margaret doyle is a financial analyst with deloitte uk. good morning. how significant is this? clearly it's not particularly good news for any country when the credit ratings downgraded by one of the agencies, particularly one of the agencies, particularly one of the big three agencies. having said that, it looks like the market response, you know, we had a bit of a selling off in sterling which was muted and i think most people are not expecting there will be a significant increase in the cost of funding the uk's very large public sector debt. in practical terms, the impact is likely to be relatively muted but clearly from the point of view of appearances, not particularly welcome. we saw the treasury coming out almost immediately and disputing the view of moody ‘s and saying they believe the view is outdated and fails t

moody's annual iics put it, and irma was bagged at 62 to 64. it was unfeared, for example that moody's included the flooding like in jacksonville or charleston. in the totals are some 20 to 30 billion of lost economic output, people who can't get to work and power outages. moody's shaved the third quarter gdp forecast for the entire nation by a half point you but expense a reconstruction rebound in the fourth quarter. that depends on the timing of insurance payments and government assistance, eastern the ability to find enough construction workers to rebuild the state. >> that's a lot of homes that have to be rebuilt. it's a lot of cars that have to be replaced. on the home front, so to speak, that's more lagged, though. i can go out tomorrow as soon as the stm pass it is and practically get an insurance payment and a car. on homes, especially if you don't have insurance and you have to wait for the government insurance, that can take months before you start to rebuilt. >> florida ranks fourth among states in output, but it's 27th in per capita

the government flatly rejects this analysis by moody's. it says it doesn't bear in mind the analysis given by the prime minister on friday's speech in florence. nor does it take into account the fact that the public finances have improved noticeably even in the last two days. the official number for borrowing for august was the best in ten years. but it could be the case that markets could listen to moody's, and as a direct result britain might have to pay a tiny smidgen more to borrow money than it used to. the two main party leaders in germany will make their final appeals to voters today before sunday's elections. the chancellor angela merkel‘s centrist party have a clear lead in the polls. in what is now a familiar picture across europe, both mrs merkel and the social democratic leader, martin schulz, are urging voters to shun the anti—islam, anti—immigrant rhetoric of right—wing candidates that have gained support in the run up to the election. our correspondent is in berlin and sensors this. angela merkel‘s centre—right p
