arrival of a shaken by the recent arrival of a competitor whose lower price has one of customers there. cathay pacific has pledged to use clean jet fuel partly made from garbage in a bid to cut harmful emissions. this is in the south china morning post. and does this bear any resemblance to anyone in your family? does this bear any resemblance to anyone in yourfamily? it is a drawing of a newly discovered fossil one millimetre in size and 540 million years old, and it is humanity's earliest known as revolutionary ancestor, apparently. that is on the telegraph website. joining us is tom stevenson — investment director at personal investment firm fidelity international. barack 0bama only ba rack 0bama only left barack 0bama only left office 12 days ago and he has a ready is taken out that american values are the sta ke out that american values are the stake and people in the uk are protesting. in the uk people on the street. very unusual. you pointed

out former president barak 0bama's comments and it is very unusual for a former president to criticise the current president but it is all around the world. theresa may is in around the world. theresa may is in a difficult position. difficult for a difficult position. difficult for auk a difficult position. difficult for a uk prime minister not to invite the us president for a state visit. what was hastie was to do it so quickly. there is no timetable. there is no reason to do so quickly other than the fact that she was visiting the president last week and wanted to make an offer, i guess. visiting the president last week and wanted to make an offer, i guessm is extremely difficult because of the protests in the uk are about his intended visit to the uk. 1.5 million people signing a petition saying to stop this state visit but

she was one of the first state leaders to go to his office after the inauguration and you cannot go empty—handed as specially if you are after a trade deal. that is the key point. in the wake of brexit, the british government finds himself in a bit ofa british government finds himself in a bit of a corner. it needs to find a bit of a corner. it needs to find a friend where it can... it needs to find friends everywhere! it is making decisions which perhaps it would not otherwise make. he will be meeting the queen, i believe that is going to happy as well and some people are not happy about that. justin trudeau, a man who is most welcoming to immigrants and i suppose islam is a migrant religion

and people killed. canada is very welcoming and quebec city have only had two murders in the whole of 2015. the gun control laws are much stricter than in the us but for me what this says is that the terrible behaviour has been normalised in a way by recent events around the world and that is what is so worrying things that would not have happened now do. what really struck me, we have this travel ban and dominating the headlines. seven countries on the list. listening to justin trudeau in his late meant saying to the 1 million muslims in

canada know that we value, you and reach our countries and it is your home. you could not have two more contrasting leaders on that side of the world. a lot of it comes down to language. language is really important, the message sent out. you compare that language with the language we are hearing from the us, the trail, get with the programme, and that kind of language is concerning. —— and that kind of language is concerning. — — betrayal. and that kind of language is concerning. -- betrayal. to the markets look at the hard reality? something is happening on the market and many analysts are tying it to donald trump. it is actually a very interesting question. 0ur market is just hard factual machines or a day in emotional? i think plainly they

are emotional. a lot of expectation and hope and optimism for growth has been built into market evaluation and investors expecting trump to deliver growth, tax cuts which should be good but now, since the inauguration, there has been a bit ofa inauguration, there has been a bit of a change in inauguration, there has been a bit ofa change in pain inauguration, there has been a bit of a change in pain and sentiment. there are to ways of looking at trump, one is the positive growth story and the other is the more destabilising trump against free trade and the trump saying as the only things that about other countries around the world and markets swing pendulum a wise and they have swung. to be fair, when your market goes up 9.5% since he w011 your market goes up 9.5% since he won the election, in november, and goes above 20,000, you are going to ta ke goes above 20,000, you are going to take some profits... there is an

element of that. markets can swing too far in both directions and they did get very optimistic. with all these executive orders he is issuing, they tend these executive orders he is issuing, they lend themselves to a potential executive order to do a deal on the economy, you cannot sign a piece of paper and say this is going to happen because it requires the participation of so many different act as and they could be international as well. the key point is the markets despise uncertainty and unpredictability and we have a president in the white house who is nothing if not predictable. the story on vodafone when they had to make the news on the company website, an idea for merger. it is big news in india but it goes to show how difficult this market is for companies like vodafone and also big tech companies like facebook

have not found it easy and yet india is the place where you have got potentially millions and millions of customers. this is a great challenge about the indian market, on the one hand it is an enormous growing market and on the other it is bureaucratic and in some ways corrupt and quite difficult for overseas is this is to be successful and vodafone has struggled and in some ways this merger represents a bit of a backward step for vodafone. essentially they are buying shares for their own stakes. it did consolidate from vodafone's balance sheet. the other thing going on is of course a new entrant in the indian market disrupting the market with free calls and so it is massively cheap and incumbents are really struggling. on cathay

pacific, you may have a discount if you take your rubbish to the cheque in counter. what a fantastic thing to do. the airline industry has not beena part to do. the airline industry has not been a part of this move to reduce carbon and teal last year. —— and teal. they agreed on a deal to curb greenhouse gases sol teal. they agreed on a deal to curb greenhouse gases so i think we will see more of these by the industry is already moving in that direction with the new dreamliner using massively less fuel, much lighter, much quieter. the industry is moving in that direction but it is a huge creator of greenhouse gases. 540 million you rolled. apparently. it was an earth in an excavation in

china. they are figuring out where it is. in the evolution chain. 30 million years... we have gone even further back than the sea squirts... sea squirts! laughter 540 million yea rs sea squirts! laughter 540 million years to sea squirts! laughter 540 million yea rs to develop sea squirts! laughter 540 million years to develop into these from that, imagine what we will look like in another 540 million years. we will have wings! we will do it or the gang. see you soon. hello. scotland had the best of monday's sunshine, not much on offer during tuesday as this weather front very slowly edges further east across the uk. so plenty of cloud with that

and some outbreaks of rain. still quite chilly, particularly over high ground in scotland to begin tuesday morning. any sleet and snow turning back to rain. could be slippery in a few spots first thing. you can see the extent of the cloud and some outbreaks of rain. some heavy bursts of rain in scotland, particularly towards the southern uplands and grampian areas and into northern ireland, a wet start too but the rain eventually will pull away but i think there will be a fair amount of standing water around to begin the day. and then across england and wales, some low cloud and hill fog around. not everywhere is wet but the rain is tending to come and go and edge its way further east. quite a chilly feel in the east to begin with with the cloud and that south—easterly breeze, but milder air is pushing into south—west england and into wales as well. so, on through the day, it's a messy picture, isn't it, with this weather front just gradually taking some outbreaks of rain further east of those areas that start the day dry. northern ireland, though, turning a bit brighter into the afternoon bar the odd stray shower. all the while we're trying to take milder air a little bit further

east, so more of wales into that. 11 degrees in belfast but still quite chilly down the eastern side of the uk, or at least a cool feel with the cloud, breeze and some outbreaks of rain. still around some of that wet weather through parts of england and wales, southern scotland on tuesday night and into wednesday morning. elsewhere in scotland, into northern ireland, some clear spells around. the risk of a few fog patches, a few spots seeing a touch of frost as well. too cloudy, too wet for any frost in england and wales and we'll start off on a damp note here. eventually that rain pulls away from eased in parts of england on through wednesday afternoon. then there's a brighter gapfora time before the next weather system takes some rain into northern ireland, maybe the south—west wales and the far of england once again. thursday's a windier picture, maybe a dry start in the east but we're going to see bands of showers spreading north—eastwards. some of those can be heavy with hail and thunder, a few bright spells, though, in between. and then the picture for friday into the weekend shows a deep area of low pressure. still some uncertainty about the detail but a growing sense

that some of us could be affected by some stormy weather. we'll keep you updated on that possibility certainly over the next few days. it came as thousands protested around the uk against the travel restrictions. good morning, it's tuesday, the 31st of january. also this morning: the wildlife traffickers putting the future of the chimpanzee under threat. we'll have a special report after a year long undercover investigation. a row over a term—time family holiday reaches the highest court in the [and today.
