eu nationals. meanwhile, 16% have seen the number of eu nationals actually leaving their business going up. kpmg also released its own report this week, and it predicts one million eu nationals that currently work in the uk are now considering leaving. however, the vast majority of eu nationals living in this country at the moment do consider the uk as a very or quite attractive place to work. if you look at the relationship between the two, the uk exports train and $36 billion worth of goods, while the eu sends back $376 billion. so in purely economic terms at least it's going to be beneficial for both sides to get the issue of workers' rights resolved sooner rather than later. we will talk about all of that in world business report. and here's a juicy story. australia is — according to some companies — in the grips of a national orange shortage. some drinks manufacturers there are having to import from abroad because there isn't enough home—grown fruit. huge demand for australian oranges in china is one reason being given for the short fall. we shall have the latest on tha

brinkmanship that's intensified diplomacy at the united nations security council, and led to a deal between the united states and china, north korea's ally, to impose tough new sanctions. this is the most stringent set of sanctions on any country in a generation. these sanctions will cut deep, and in doing so, will give the north korean leadership a taste of the depravation they have chosen to inflict on the north korean people. most of north korea's export trade goes across this border, into china, and pyongyang could be deprived of roughly a third of its export income, the sanctions hitting its trade in coal, iron, and seafood. but they don't limit oil deliveries, a move that would have a crippling effect on the economy, and potentially a collapsing effect on the pyongyang regime. this week, the pentagon conducted its own test of an unarmed intercontinental ballistic missile, proof, it said, that america is ready and able to deter, detect and defend against attacks. so far, sanctions have failed, and most intelligence analysts here believe that north korea won't come to the negoti
