phone, the 3310. that's in the daily telegraph. the financial times writes that breakneck growth in china has sent wages tripling over the past decade. pay rates for the manufacturing sector have now soared above most latin american countries. a report in the times suggests ministers in the uk will demand that big tech companies like facebook and twitter must develop new technological solutions to control cyberbullying. the article says the firms could face sanctions if they don't comply. and millennials in china seem to be changing their shopping habits. the china daily reports many are moving from the online marketplace back into the so—called real world. yes, they're back visiting stores in person. quite right! i have this discussion every day at home. not that i really wa nt to every day at home. not that i really want to go to the shop, i would rather go to the shop and go online. joining us is michaela bergman, chief counsellor for social issues at the european bank for reconstruction & development. good morning. good morning. do you

remember a beauty pageant a few yea rs remember a beauty pageant a few years ago when the hosts announced mr lapine is and she was putting on the crown, he said he was sorry and he made a mistake —— miss philippines. he was in the background crying. it was not warrant they do's fault as he opened the envelope, it said la la land, emma stone, who won best supporting actor stash warren beatty. he won't be living that one down very easily —— best supporting actress. la la land, they got their hopes up, then the crash. they were all holding the oscars in their hands. incredible. sally has talked about this a lot, she has seen la la land, have you seen any of the other films was yellow i have seen la la land. not lion? i haven't. please see it,

peter bowes, our correspondent in la, he said personally for him it may have been a better film than la la land but moonlight comes out and wins this award. we've talked about mahershala ali winning four moonlight, viola davis winning for senses and the fact that moonlight isa senses and the fact that moonlight is a film about african—americans that isn't about slavery and the talk of the oscars being so white, here we are. -- talk of the oscars being so white, here we are. “ senses. talk of the oscars being so white, here we are. -- senses. the film was already being made last year, so it isn't token. it is great that it won. it was on my list to go and see, as is fences. you haven't seen suicide squad? i haven't. she's a busy woman. i've got two kids, you've got two kids, we've got things to do, cartoon films to see, i want to see the lego batman movie. shall we talk about the real—life

drama that's unfolding in france? its front page of le figaro, i imagine it will be front—page news in france until the results in may. this talks about what the latest cold are gauging, a lot has changed over the weekend. —— polls. this talks about immanuel macron, the independent candidate, he may well be the one that comes out with the edgein be the one that comes out with the edge in may. —— emmanuelle macron. but you can't rely on the polls. you can't. macron has played it well and to his advantage, the left parties have not agreed on a common candidate. so he will be stronger. but le pen has got a lot of supporters. she is the antiestablishment candidate and we saw how that played in the us. i don't think we can rely on the polls at all. i think it is interesting to show things are changing. it's

really between macron and le pen as opposed to... no socialists are in the picture. it's interesting, in another paper, the financial times writes about marine le pen's campaign strategy and taking a leaf out of donald trump's book and using social media to connect directly with the people who she wants to woo. with the people who she wants to woo. she's got 1.3 million followers on twitter and you think about those people re— tweeting. .. on twitter and you think about those people re— tweeting... social media has changed politics for ever surely. not just has changed politics for ever surely. notjust electioneering. absolutely. she does connect and a p pa re ntly absolutely. she does connect and apparently she has this charisma when she speaks and she's really work hard at distancing herself from her father's politics, work hard at distancing herself from herfather‘s politics, saying she doesn't want business as usual again, the donald trump line. it will be interesting to see where it goes. i wouldn't be so confident to

predict anything especially after last year. just to explain, what is useful, this article talks about how it works. we talk about elections in april and may, in april it is all the candidates still in the frame but then there's a run—off between the final two in may if needed. it probably will be. the french say they vote with their heart the first time round and the second time they area bit time round and the second time they are a bit more pragmatic. a different type of election. did you have a nokia 3310? about i didn't but my friends did. is that because you had a blackberry? awoke i didn't, i held out from getting a mobile phone for several years. the same. it's the tone, it is the nokia tone which is so iconic. what's interesting about this story, it isn't just the interesting about this story, it isn'tjust the retro look, we know how important mobile phones are to everybody, the developing world and

the developed world for many reasons, not just your social life, many more important things, there's an article that says ahead of the world mobile congress, the biggest forum for mobile technology taking place in barcelona, apple and samsung have come out with anything new, so is there a bit of a slowdown in the pace of technological advances within that small mobile phone frame? i'm not a technology specialist, i don't know what more you could do with a phone, even what more you might want with a phone! there's also been more talk about people being tired with being connected all the time. how people wa nt to connected all the time. how people want to detox or disconnect. connected all the time. how people want to detox or disco is act. i connected all the time. how people want to detox or disco is onto a = connected all the time. how people want to detox or disco is onto a thing , ,, w mm, m

to e—mails on a saturday and to you ails on a saturday and to you don't1 a saturday and to you don't have iturday and to you don't have to ‘day and to you don't have to feel and sunday, you don't have to feel you're connected. just to say apple is expected to launch its new iphone in september, the eight. samsung has had its problems with its launch, so they are working that out. the financial times has marine le pen and wages going up in china, interesting story. it is. number one it shows that china is really trying to lift people out of poverty. it's been successful and they've managed to do that, this is huge amount of people in manufacturing jobs and reducing the polarisation that happened with the reforms. it's very interesting. obviously the flipside, will china still be competitive for manufacturers? we will find out. i

think they've achieved a lot in china, ordinary people. what's different is many of these countries where their wages are slightly higher, the value of the currency has fallen quite a lot. in real terms they're earning a bit more if that makes sense, so you have to measure it that way. i think this is an absolutely fascinating story that will resonate all over the world in the times about the government in the uk saying to tech companies, you need to ta ke saying to tech companies, you need to take more responsibility for the material that is on your company's sites and specifically cyber bullying. we know that cyber bullying. we know that cyber bullying has increased phenomenally and it has terrible effects on those affected, from the young to the old, it can ruin people's lives in one click. miners have committed suicide for goodness sake! —— minors.

click. miners have committed suicide for goodness sake! -- minors. the government is right to ask them to manage this, which is right, what they can do i don't know but there must be responsibility. the companies don't have responsibility for the material but there must be a way of policing it in some way. it ruins people's lives, or destroys them as you said. i find it incredible what people can get away with saying, what if you said to someone's face would be straight out abuse and people but hide behind the internet to do it. and it's done more and more frequently. we're not talking about millennials and people going to shops because that story was too good! thank you for your analysis. michaela, thank you for joining us. thank you very much for your time. hello, good morning. the weekend brought us some wet and windy weather, but at least it was on the mild side. some of the wettest weather

was around glasgow area, so we had scenes like this sent in by one of our weather watchers, and most of that rain came due to storm ewan. the fifth of the year. it was named by the irish met service with big impacts expected here. that area of low pressure is running to the north of scotland, but it could return on tuesday as a much weaker feature. in its wake, though, we are drawing down some cold air. that brings with it the risk of some frost, ice and some snow as well. and the risk is greatest by the morning across the northern half of the uk, some snow over the hills. to the south, we have got stronger winds, with the bands of heavy showers moving in, and some heavy rain to clear away from the south—east early in the morning. the ice risk is there, and through the day we will see bands of showers, particularly running across england and wales. don't be surprised, even here, to find some hail, sleet and even some snow. a little bit drier further north. the best of the weather, actually, across the northern half of scotland, where it should be less windy and there will be more sunshine. but it will feel cold pretty much everywhere,

especially where we have got the stronger winds and the showers rattling in, and those will continue across england and wales during the evening and overnight for a while. then we have got some clearer skies. things calm down a bit, and there may be some more ice around overnight into tuesday morning, because it may be just that little bit colder, pretty much wherever you are. and then this area of low pressure, this is what is left of storm ewan. as promised, it is coming back in from the north—west. it will bring some stronger winds, but nothing out of the ordinary. it will bring some rain, maybe some snow over the hills, most particularly in scotland. those stronger winds will push some showers into england and wales, and temperatures at best eight or nine degrees. that area of low pressure, the ex—storm, is going to pull away, taking the wet and windy weather away with it overnight, and by the time you get to wednesday morning, things much quieter. but cold again, cold enough for some frost and some icy patches. many places starting off dry and bright, with some sunshine, but into the south—west we will see the winds picking up,

and some rain pushing in from off the atlantic, perhaps just lifting the temperature a little. but we are opening the door to the milder air coming in from the atlantic, particularly across the southern half of the uk. but there will be some stronger winds as well, quite unsettled, really, through the week ahead. to begin with, it is going to feel really cold after the mild weekend. there will be some wintry showers around as well, and the temperatures recover a bit later on this week. but some rain around, especially in the south. hello, this is breakfast, with dan walker and louise minchin. confusion at the oscars as the best picture award is handed to the wrong film. la la land was initially named the winner. the producers started their a cce pta nce winner. the producers started their acceptance speeches but they were interrupted with an announcement that moonlight was in fact the best picture. it appears the warrant 80
