however, officials said they had no evidence the attack was related to bullfighting. police and protestors clashed in the ukrainian capital kiev on sunday ahead of a ceasefire between russian—backed rebels and government forces supposed to come into effect shortly. at least seven protestors were detained after ultra—nationalists gathered to back a blockade between the separatist east and the rest of ukraine. now it's time for our news review. you know what, donald trump has been in the white house for exactly one month now! the international new york times looks at the growing risk of conflict between donald trump and his government bureaucracy. it asks is there a deep state in operation undermining the trump administration. the telegraph business section reports the american food giant kraft heinz has dropped its $143 billion pursuit of consumer products rival, unilever. the offer was abandoned only two days after an interest was expressed in the anglo—dutch company.

it would have been the biggest ever takeover of a british firm. the south china morning post says beijing is stopping all imports of coal from north korea in a move that effectively cuts the secretive regime's exports in half. the ban will remain in place until the end of the year in a bid to ramp up the pressure on pyongyang after its missile test last weekend. the ft looks at eu brexit negotiators who say they will deny london any trade talks until progress is made on a 60 billion euro exit bill and there is more clarity on the future of rights for expatriate citizens. and finally, also in the ft, microsoft owner bill gates is arguing for an income tax to be place upon machines in order to slow down the advance of robots replacing humans in the workforce. joining us is andrew tuck, who's editor of monocle, a global news and business magazine. you're also online as well. good morning. good morning. let's explain what a deep state is. the notion deep within one of the systems

within the organisations that wrap around government, there is a united group of people working against the ambitions of the government. the suggestion is there is deep within the cia a group of people that have decided trump is not their president and they don't like what he's doing. i don't think that's true and even this story doesn't say that, this is based on the views of a single a nalyst based on the views of a single analyst but they're saying there's many within the cia who run the risk of looking like a deep state because their opposition to donald trump has been sober sciver is that they've also been led to numerous leaks and they are beginning to look like an organised opposition —— vociferous. no matter where you stand on donald trump, we don't like the idea of somebody organising the security people against the president. somebody organising the security people against the presidentm somebody organising the security people against the president. in a way it could soothe the trump presidency to push the deep state conspiracy theory. he has the idea

that rallying people in a fortress mentality, saying everyone is against his presidency, is a way of bringing his supporters closer to him and defending him against his detractors. that's when you see some echoes of somewhere like egypt or some countries in the region were when anything goes wrong they never say this was a failure of government, they always said it's embedded interest, there's a mysterious other game in play here and whether the media you blame or you blame... in turkey it's the gulenists. here he has a rallying cry, he's saying somewhere deep, someone somewhere cry, he's saying somewhere deep, someone somewhere is against me and that's why things don't look good. this business story on friday, unilever and kraft heinz potentially getting together and shares worth soaring and the backed kraft heinz may have to offer more than it had

offered to unilever. suddenly the whole thing is scrapped and they said ina whole thing is scrapped and they said in a statement they've come to an amicable agreement. very different tone to friday. we don't know what went on over the weekend but there's an understanding that at the highest level of government in the highest level of government in the uk, calls were made, people were called in and discussions were had. that is the angle of the telegraph. exactly, this is happening when theresa may, the british prime minister, has said opposed to aggressive takeovers of british companies by predatory outsiders. she would have been keen to put her mark on this to make sure it doesn't go against britishjobs. mark on this to make sure it doesn't go against british jobs. in the run—up to brexit, people are concerned about what that means for employment and she thought this would not look good to lose british jobs in the deal. it says 9896 of british households contain at least one unilever product. think of the kraft heinz products we have as

well, together it would be a heck of a lot. what's fascinating because of what happened at cadbury's, we know promises were made, jobs disappeared, manufacturing didn't go ahead as thought, food is an emotional subject. if you take over an oil company ora emotional subject. if you take over an oil company or a mining company, the average person doesn't care, but their chocolate or a tin of super. and also the takeover of arm holdings, a prized tech company, it happened so fast. although that might not have had a consumer angle, people thought it was our chance to bea people thought it was our chance to be a young technology nation and they were concerned. in 2013 according to the article in the south china morning post, north korea was receiving close to $3 billion for its coal exports to china. in 2015, about $2.5 billion. a lot of money for north korea,

maybe not too many other countries. china is going to ban the purchase of north korean coal, lots of money disappearing for north korea and it's happening against the backdrop of the assassination in malaysia. what's interesting is what this means in the global context. china is trying to say to america, mr trump, you've been saying we don't do enough in the region, we're not supporting you on getting north korea to stop missile tests but were finally going to do something and make it public and stop the coal imports and put pressure on north korea but more importantly we can show you we can be a good ally. the chinese are looking to dc and also soul to say we're going to play the global game, don't worry about us, we're not your enemy. will it make any difference? the defector, the deputy ambassador here, the north korean in london said last month i think that kim jong—un will probably press the nuclear button if he feels his country is going under.

press the nuclear button if he feels his country is going undenm press the nuclear button if he feels his country is going under. it may make a difference in that sense, it will make him more irascible and many other people commenting on the story are saying we don't know how he's going to behave so this could make him even more unpredictable. he's going to behave so this could make him even more unpredictablefi has the craft story as well but brussels wants to try down the uk's 60 billion euros exit bill before beginning trade talks. what does brussels want? michel barnier, the chief negotiator for the eu, brussels want? michel barnier, the chief negotiatorfor the eu, is saying this is a divorce, let's discuss what we do with the property in the house before we talk about the future. how much money are you going to give me? then we will do the paperwork and then we will have a discussion about the future. talks about the future might not even beginning until the end of the year. he has said it could take until december before the outline of the negotiation is in place and the europeans are keen to see a settle m e nt europeans are keen to see a settlement about eu nationals and

british nationals in europe and that will take all of this year to agree he says. what do you think about bill gates' idea that if the robot ta kes a bill gates' idea that if the robot takes a human drop it should pay tax. the government will have to look at this seriously. you get rid of 50 employers use, you get rid of the taxation. —— humanjob. if all these jobs get taken over by robots, it's not only those people that are concerned, the government fails if you don't have the revenue. give us some background, you were at the science museum event where the robots were on display, the pictures in the ft. these kind of robots are a long way away from replacing lots of people's jobs? they are, you only have to watch the demonstrations, they can never even get upstairs! they can't take over from us then! they can't take over from us then! they have to move to move in a perfect way on a perfect surface, one piece of dust and they fall

over! the things we sieberg into factories are more robotic stands robots —— the things we see in factories. there's the cost of manufacturing them and the things we think about robots doing, they're not very good emotionally. i've seen articles recently that teachers are going to be robots in the near future, let's see. interesting. maybe some of my teachers at school we re maybe some of my teachers at school were robots, i'm not sure! thanks for coming in on monday morning, have a great week, always appreciate your presence! thanks for your company. stay with us, we'll be back with more news in a few minutes time. goodbye! goodbye! hello there, good morning. 12 or 13 degrees quite widely on sunday. the north—east of scotland got to around about 16 degrees. 0ur air has come in from the middle

of the atlantic, and will continue to do, although we are going to see temperatures drop away from the north as we get to the latter part of the week. a lot of cloud out there. 0vernight tonight it will be spilling its way in from the west. some of the cloud will be really quite low across western areas and there will be at least some rain to be had in the far north and west first thing in the morning. but it will be a mild night. nine or ten degrees fairly typical for most major towns and cities. those are the sorts of temperatures we should see by daytime at this time of year. but quite a grey old start for many. the weather front is not particularly intense in terms of rainfall, but there is wetter weather to be had and windy conditions in the far north—west. whereas in the far south—west there will be low cloud, hill fog quite extensive, some coastal fog as well, but it is a mild start to the day. dry for the most part, maybe just the odd spot of drizzle under this low cloud out west. not quite so much low cloud for east anglia and lincolnshire, but down towards the south—east, particularly around the coast,

it is a grey but mild start to the day. few breaks in the cloud for the north—east of england but most places are starting off rather grey. but not much rain until you get to get to the north—west of northern ireland and the western side of scotland as well. cloudy and breezy as well. some parts of eastern scotland just about getting away with a dry start to the day, but it will be a blustery start on the eastern side of scotland and the north—east of england, at least for a time through the morning. winds gusting to around 50 miles an hour, bear that in mind if you are travelling up and down the pennines, for example. into the afternoon, going to see some reasonable temperatures in the south—east, given a few cloud breaks. up to 16 degrees, maybe a little bit higher in a couple of places, not quite as warm as it was on sunday in scotland. into the evening, we've got some showers in the north of scotland, and the area of rain affecting some parts of wales in southern england. in between, it is largely dry and not overly chilly, but we are into single figures.

dawn on tuesday, there may even be a touch of frost in northern scotland, but not so further south. another mild night, nine or ten degrees. another grey start to the day on tuesday for wales and southern counties of england. through wednesday and thursday temperatures just dropping back into single figures across the northern parts of the uk. still hanging on to double figures further south, with a fair bit of cloud and a little bit of rain at times. but still a little bit less mild, i suspect, by the end of this week. some places doing quite well, but still quite windy later this week. hello this is breakfast, with dan walker and louise minchin. gridlocked — a report finds the uk's roads are the most congested in europe. researchers say most drivers spend more than 32 hours each year stuck in traffic, as they warn of a significant cost to the economy. good morning, it's monday 20th february.

also this morning: almost every council in england is planning to put up taxes to help meet the cost of social care. angelina jolie talks exclusively to us as she talks about her new film set in cambodia, and for the first time, about her separation from brad pitt.
