what's making headlines around the world 7 first we have the washington post online. it reports on donald trump's address to congress, saying that the us president tried to repackage his hardline campaign pledges and had shifted to a more moderate tone. the head of samsung is to be formally indicted on bribery and embezzlement charges in connection with south korea's political corruption scandal. the korea times has that on the front page of its website. the financial times reports that a record—breaking auction saw bidding for barack and michelle obama's memoirs reach more than $60 million. the paper says that it's a record sum for us presidential memoirs. sex and relationship education for children as young as four. the telegraph leads with that story. it reports that the measure by the uk government is intended to warn children in britain about the dangers of the internet. the times says that technology company dyson is looking toshake of its image of building vacuum cleaners and delve into the world of robotics

and artificial intelligence. it reports that the firm is to build a new 500—acre campus in the uk dedicated to research and development in this area. spending a record amount for a company doing this kind of thing apparently. lawrence gosling joins us this morning. at the scene last week you like pineapple and you peter, i did not expect to see you here so soon. idid not not expect to see you here so soon. i did not expect to be invited back. let's talk about more cirrus matters. donald trump is so divisive that people, and you know who you are, itare that people, and you know who you are, it are having a go at me for saying he was quite moderate in this speech. —— serious matters. saying he was quite moderate in this speech. —— serious mattersli saying he was quite moderate in this speech. -- serious matters. ithink you're right. it is a fair summation of how he came across. he played to his audience with some of the stuff you mentioned in the introduction. he talked about making america great

again, as we would expect. he also was critical of the law, and there was critical of the law, and there was a bit of shaking of heads of c0 ng ress was a bit of shaking of heads of congress members there. across the board, he was quite balanced. almost statesmanlike. you think it was a scenario where he was trying to do a reset, given beta module is time that he has had since he took office with the protest and legal wrangles. it has not been an easy one for him. —— tumultuous. it has not been an easy one for him. -- tumultuous. absolutely. what we heard here was him trying to cover all the bases. he spoke for one hour, which is not a huge round of time. it is quite balanced compared to previous presidents. and again, the tone of his voice did not go up

and down the way he sometimes does. i think you're right. he was very calm. almost resetting the button is a good way of explaining. for those of us watching abroad, there was not that much their, but he did say he was not here to represent the world, but the united states of america. —— there. it is or is the america first, thiem, everybody a second.” thought that was an interesting line, because most members of the would expect their leaders to put their country first and foremost. he did say that he was not expected to be there as leader the world, but america. what you think the market ration will be? pretty unsafe. it is more at the economics and the numbers. soapie air to samsun, as we said yesterday, he has been accused of paying almost $40 million in

bribes to one person. this was the confidant of the impeached south korean president. this is an extra ona korean president. this is an extra on a piece of corruption. this is very old school cronyism. in a sense, you would not expect this of a company as famous as samsun. but this is about smoothing through various takeovers, and about the generation passing on the business to the third generation of the family. this is one of the problems that westerners criticise south korean companies for. this sort of cronyism. which means the big companies... the conglomerates. the family run. this is not what is expected in us or europe of these sorts of companies, these days. and this is part of the broader tide against corruption and creditors and within government. we see this all around the world. in south korea, as

well, we had a keep this in perspective. these sorts of cabals of which samsung is the biggest, they have an enormous impact on the economy. samsun accounts for something like pretty % of gdp growth in south korea. in the relationship between countries like samsun and the government, is on another level to what we'd expect in the united states or the uk. —— samsun is now facing criminal charges. and yet business as usual. we are still going out there and byproducts, aren't we? many analyst don't think

management that important in the running of the company. it is more the tier below and out the products are entered as a driving the share price. which prize you going to buy a? michelle 0bama or barack 0bama's? probably michelle's. both my daughters are very taken an inspired by michelle. so by her book first. and i would hope that i got his book for father's day or his my birthday. you think there is more interest in the first lady this time? no way. that is a personal opinion. he was the first black american president. no, no, i was talking about compare to other first ladies. as a couple, they were are very interesting. not to undermine previous first ladies, but they have not played such a

prominent role like she did for all these years. in the old days, there we re these years. in the old days, there were lyndon baines johnson's these years. in the old days, there were lyndon bainesjohnson's wife and sdr's wife... 0k, were lyndon bainesjohnson's wife and sdr's wife... ok, but children aged four to be given sex education on particular subjects? yes, this is largely around relationships. and this is a good thing for the government to recognise the threat of the internet. we talk a lot these days about teenagers accessing pornography. i have a two—year—old granddaughter who has a ready figured out how to use a tablet. so you understand this. of course, you see the world sex education for a four—year—old, and become scary. —— you see the words sex education. four—year—old, and become scary. —— you see the words sex educationm a very emotive. they call this the biggest overhaul of sex education in the uk for 17 years. but it has to

be looked at in the frame of technology. it does say age—appropriate. technology. it does say age-appropriate. and backed by the church of england. and we have the opportunity as parents to withdraw our children from those classes. i—and—a—half years ago, a child had a magazine placed in front of it, and thejob a magazine placed in front of it, and the job was about two years old, and the job was about two years old, and it was trying to turn the pages of the magazine like you would with a tablet. dyson challenges with new technology. he is breaking out into the world of artificial intelligence. this is really a fault in the last decade. artificial intelligence is probably one of the next big developments in confusing. and actually for the country, then the uk covered your gration, it is fantastic that suddenly like us... of course, we are talking at james dyson, the man who came out with a

different other vacuum cleaner. i was go to say hoover, but you cannot say that, because it is a brand. —— i was going to say. the dc he will be successful again in this error? using keyword, because he revolutionised vacuum cleaners. and now head tries. —— do you think he will be successful again in this airy are? —— you would think that he would. this is the future. the article says that it believes that dyson will go into driverless cars. wouldn't that be fascinating? absolutely. enjoy your peter, bacon over the pineapple. i will never let you live it down. see you down everybody. —— enjoy your pizza. hello. there was a bright enough start to the day across eastern parts of the british isles on tuesday, but it didn't last, did it, because we were driving belts of weather down from the western side of scotland ever further towards the south and east.

low pressure very much the dominant feature, and there's obviously something waiting in the wings just to the west of us. and that doesn't arrive just in time to stop the temperatures dribbling away again, it'll be a chilly start for wednesday. some wintry showers across the north of scotland, watch out for some ice here as well. but if you can avoid the showers, there's plenty of sunshine to be had across the north of britain, things changing quite markedly, though, as we get on into the afternoon, across the southern parts of both england and wales, where it is turning increasingly wet, and eventually, really very windy indeed. so some detail for the middle part of the afternoon. there is that combinations of sunny spells and showers. quite a noticeable wind, but this time, unlike tuesday, coming from the west rather than the north. so it might feel a tad milder, but not much. temperatures five, six, or seven degrees. plenty of sunshine there, with a mixture of showers across the north of england, clouding up eventually across the southern and western parts of northern ireland. the midlands hanging on to some sunshine. i'm afraid that's not going to be the case across southern england and wales, where that band of cloud that i showed you eventually rocks

up, producing some heavy rain. but it is the strength of the wind that may cause some real concerns. some of those gusts at least to gale—force, i would have thought, across the exposed parts of both southern england and wales. and as we push that belt of rain further north and it moves into higher ground, well, you know, the intensity of the snow might cause a problem across the highest ground and across the high—level routes. so that combination could cause some disruption to your travel plans overnight wednesday. come thursday, less in the way of rain to speak of, initially, with the old weather front driving its way a little further to the north. a little bit of sunshine around until late in the day. some uncertainty about this feature, but we suspect that something will run in on that noticeable wind into the western side of wales. some rain, and some hill snow, yet again. but a half decent day on thursday. oh that that were the case on friday. it probably won't be in the south again, as this area of low pressure will throw its weather fronts ever further towards the north. again, the pace of advance open to some conjecture at the moment. but we think that will be the major player of the weekend,

sitting very close by to the british isles through saturday, and, indeed, on into sunday. and it will be perhaps the northern part of scotland and the northern parts of ireland at times that will see the best of the weather. but the general theme of the weekend is a bit of cloud around and a few spells of rain. take care. as you hello, this is breakfast, with dan walker and louise minchin. president trump pledges a renewal of the american spirit, in his first speech to congress. believe in yourselves, believing your future and believe wants more in america. he also promised huge spending on the military and infrastructure and vowed to tackle terrorism and illegal immigration. good morning, it's wednesday, i march.
