of rising numbers of chinese tourists, there was a drop of 400,000 visiting france last year. the paper says most of them go to paris, and the city wants to bring them back by clamping down on pickpockets and making it easier for them to use mobile payments. and finally, would you be prepared to work an extra nine minutes a day if your company asked you? well not if you work at australia's tax office, where workers have insisted their shift ends at 4:51pm and have refused to work till 5:00pm. if you work for those nine minutes it would improve productivity. we just waste of time talking. it would improve productivity. we just waste of time talkinglj it would improve productivity. we just waste of time talking. i do. your day starts early. i was working the day that there was the independence celebration to mark the start of this new nation, our correspondent was there, everybody

was full of hope... yes, it is first official famine. for if revenues. the death rate must exceed two persons for every 10,000 per day. this is an appalling development in this country. it is a result of civil war, many people forced to leave the land, the border, living in refugee camps and the production of food has been extremely low. in refugee camps and the production of food has been extremely lowm affects the entire world. in europe they talk about why people are living in africa, security, a civil war, famine, climate change, these are all interlinked with everything so are all interlinked with everything so it could be everybody‘s responsibility to do something. our

correspondent in the un, there is not enough resources to deal with so many crisis around the world. over 20 million people may face starvation and a series of famines over the next six months. talking of resources , we over the next six months. talking of resources, we have two articles, one in the new york front pages, a surge in provision of oil in the state for many years but the other article, it in the telegraph, looking at the fa ct in the telegraph, looking at the fact that oil prices are heading down again because opec is not meeting its promises. it is interesting how technology is just moving on and jobs are not there. this is part of a bigger story. if
5:48 am
we look through the world, the us, australia, the uk, we see low wage inflation and part of the reason is demographic and another is technology. technology has removed some of the high pay all production workers, it has moved some of those jobs and newjobs are what we call coffee shopjobs, lower skilljobs and they will not be paid the same all their expectations will not be banned. donald trump was voted in pa rt banned. donald trump was voted in part for that reason. what you make of donald trump's plan to bring back some coaljobs. not necessarily revived the coal industry but bring it back. obviously it is very difficult partly because the price of gas is to load. it is not great for the environment. but it is going

to be very difficult for him to the fill some of those pledges. not a surprise to hear that key members of that agreement, opec and non— opec members, to cut the number of barrels per day they are not following through. russia not following through. russia not following through, other members not following through, other members not following through. the compliance was only 40% in january and it following through. the compliance was only 40% injanuary and it is a story that could be repeated many times over the decades. opec has a very bad reputation for maintaining compliance to their targets. they are a carteland compliance to their targets. they are a cartel and the result was an incentive that one member will not stick to that. the agreement can fall down. what do you think will happen to oil prices? they are higher now than a year or two ago but i think they will be. our producer stephen says it you are an expert on greece. laughter let's
5:50 am
talk about greece, ministers from the eurozone meeting yesterday and talking about a stand—off this agreement. what is your take? perhaps there has been some progress. people in greece feel they have been sold out little bit but in the eu, a fall of austerity for some reform. labour market reform, potentially pension reforms. what these reforms tend to mean is that perhaps people have to work longer before they get their pensions. of course, greece does need. 7 billion of byjuly otherwise it cannot pay its debts. clearly it is a heated debate. it is quite a tricky time and it is never easy with greece but
5:51 am
right now, germany has an election in the autumn and so to be handing out more money to greece from the point of view of the german voter is not to be palatable. and debt forgiveness is also less palatable. the imf have been calling this for years. the german and the european government do not admit to that. angela merkel said that it may be on the agenda after the election. funny that, it is all about timing. this is interesting timing, donald trump wa nts to is interesting timing, donald trump wants to bring jobs that it he says have gone abroad back to the us. when they see video of big company speak, people listen. fox, chief, is
5:52 am
it just speak, people listen. fox, chief, is itjust talk? it is notjust about skills, it is about the cost of the skills. if you look at the cost of a worker in the uk, if we look at china the equivalent worker will get paid a lot less. if there is a lack of skills, people need to be trained. you're talking about inflation and goods. if are produced in the us they are going to cost an awful lot more and it will take a lot more money for people to afford them. france and chinese tourists in france. fewer are going there. they cite a couple of reasons, concern about terrorism and also concerns about terrorism and also concerns about being pickpocketed. about being robbed, basically. obviously terrorism is the big one but petty

crime and pickpockets can reduce the experience of your holiday and there are probably some other facts as well. and undoubtedly, paris is pretty expensive. services, are perhaps not the highest competitors in other centres. this is about paris fighting back. in other centres. this is about paris fighting backlj in other centres. this is about paris fighting back. i think front is the most visited country in the world and therefore that speaks for itself. what a nine minutes going to add to workers of activity? you may signoff on a couple of tax returns but why it would you leave work at 451p.m.. but why it would you leave work at 451 p.m.. clearly, at some point they have negotiated a working day that ends at 4:51pm and when management says why can't you work till five. what are they going to do
5:54 am
if they are forced to wait till five p.m.. look at their phone. i look eu, you sit down saying we had a great programme. it are you usually gone by then. exactly. what time does your day" mac about a quarter to five. that is almost a 12 hour day. today. and most days. enjoy it the rest of the day. it will be a long one. enjoy your working day as well, see you hello there, good morning. well, i'm sure you noticed how mild it was on monday, that's because our air was coming all the way in from the caribbean. obviously it got modified quite considerably on its journey across the atlantic but still tropical maritime air flooding in across the uk
5:55 am
and it brought some pretty high temperatures with it — 15 degrees at st andrews, but as high as 18 degrees in kew gardens, just to the west of london. is it going to last? well, sadly, no. by the end of the week, we are going to switch the wind direction to a north—westerly. and we are going to see polar maritime air coming our way and that is much cooler air, so by the end of the week we are going to see those temperatures dropping back by several degrees. more like 9 degrees the top temperature in kew gardens. but struggling to get to four orfive in berwick and in st andrews. so a significant drop in temperature by the end of the week. overnight, we've got a fair bit of cloud across many parts of the uk and there will be some rain to go with that. not overly heavy but the wettest weather by dawn will be across the southern most counties of england and into wales as well. maybe a few showers into the far north and west. but with the cloud further south, temperatures holding up quite nicely overnight tonight — 9 or 10 degrees. further north, we are slipping into single figures and there might be a touch of frost
5:56 am
in some sheltered glens in northern scotland. there will be some showers in the north and west of scotland from early on. a bit of a breeze as well but the eastern side of scotland will do quite well — there will be some morning sunshine and that should last on into the afternoon. the north—east of england also seeing fairly bright weather. further south we do start off with some patchy rain which becomes very light and patchy for the south—east of england. some wet weather out west and that becomes a bit more persistent into the afternoon. and we will see temperatures getting to around about 15 degrees as the absolute maximum. but some places, towards the north east of scotland, for example, around about 7 or 8 degrees. then through the evening, some patchy rain for the southern half of the uk, that tends to fade away. more persistent rain in the north and west of the uk. slowly slipping its way southwards. and it will be quite wet in the north—west of england, for example, tuesday night into wednesday. we could see and inch or two of rain here. and a lot of isobars on the charts. quite a blustery day on wednesday. strongest winds will be in the north, through the morning. gusting to 60—70 mph.
5:57 am
the rain continues to work its way south and becomes a bit lighter in the process. some spells of sunshine following behind. 7—9 north of the uk on wednesday. 11—13, still relatively mild, in the south. as we look towards wednesday night and onto thursday, another area of low pressure heading our way. question marks aboutjust how much snow we're going to see on the northern flank of the system and how strong the winds will be in the southern flanks. the message is, stay tuned to the forecast. hello. this is breakfast, with steph mcgovern and jon kay. cuts to hospital services are planned in most areas of england. the government says it's about giving patients better care. catastrophic engine failure is blamed after a light aircraft
