of 1.7 million children under the age of five every year. many newspapers are picking that story up today. many newspapers are picking that story up today. the guardian financial pages report a warning from the international energy agency who say the world will be hit by an oil price spike in the next decade without major investment in new fields. meanwhile, exxon mobil said it would invest $20 billion through till 2022 creating almost 50,000 jobs in its chemical and oil refining plants on the us gulf coast. the international new york times looks at brazil's trouble economy where thousands ofjobs are being lost every day while the state struggles to pay for essential services like the police and school teachers. and finally, do you fancy yourself as a budding agatha christie when it comes to dreaming up plot twists and turns. well netflix viewers will soon be allowed to chose and make key story decisions by using interactive software. actors will film numerous scenes with different endings helping viewers to choose their own adventure. can you imagine the arguments that

that would cause between couples?” would want a character to die and the kids would say no, no! good morning. good to see you. 0k. it was coming and iraq has been taken off the list. it stops people seeking new visas as well. so those who do have green cards and visas will still be allowed to enter. there are details that have changed? it is slightly watered—down ultimately the broad theme is still the same. predominantly banning muslim countries from entering the united states for the next 90 days. how about the security issue? the democratic party are clearly opposed and they say if you want to fight radical islam, probably the way to do it is not to make an order that
5:47 am
directly and negatively affects muslims because that will be used as propaganda. and, also, the security services in the united states have said that it is not proven that we are under threat from citizens of these countries. libya was one of these countries. libya was one of the countries highlighted where last few years there only been one person who was ever sought asylum as a refugee but the order is indiscriminate across a lot of these countries. not the way, probably, to tackle the issues at hand.” countries. not the way, probably, to tackle the issues at hand. i wonder if that will lead to the face of legal argument of lifetime. we have not had a reaction yet from the big technology companies, the industries affected by this kind of thing. certainly silicon valley and seattle are against it. it is interesting to see what their reaction will be and if we will go down the same road as la st if we will go down the same road as last time. i think it is likely that the court will be involved again because there will be parties that will oppose this for sure, even
5:48 am
though it is watered—down. will oppose this for sure, even though it is watered-down. the aclu has said that prejudice rewritten is still prejudice so i imagine they will get involved. this story which we chose from arab news was also on the front page of the gulf news and across much of the world. much more in the minds of the readers, it talks about the world health organization report looking at pollution and the impact and they highlight the issue of children under five. highlight the issue of children underfive. 1.7 highlight the issue of children under five. 1.7 million deaths every year. a shocking number. i have to say, my youngest child, who was six, suffers with asthma and i cannot imagine being in a city like shanghai or another city where pollution is a problem. it were debilitating completely. new delhi now was the most polluted city in the world. and beijing. they vie for that title but, yeah. you can breathe. to be honest, just as winter in the uk, london got quite bad. when i go into work, i could
5:49 am
feel it and i could imagine what this is talking about, especially childrenjust pre— birth this is talking about, especially children just pre— birth you this is talking about, especially childrenjust pre— birth you can be affected by a lot more and many more are bound to be born with asthma. affected by a lot more and many more are bound to be born with asthmam terms of the innovations that are going on, we all know it is bad. this gives us a statistic, a human element that we have known for a long time and i know in the energy industry and other industries at the car industry they are trying to work around this scenario. in china they are coming up with electric only cities where there is just electric cars on the road. that is the ultimate goal. it will make a difference, won't it? in india as well, i think many of them are going to natural gas. the roll is that europe faces diesel —— favours diesel. you are here we a year ago, when she, when we were talking about the centre of oslo going callas. these are drastic solutions. you worked for a company that, in a way,
5:50 am
it represents the interest of fossil fuel and oil. as the oil industry doing? in the last 20 years there has been a recognition from all companies are boiled in fossil fuel production and use that they need to do something. absolutely and i think it is evident than in the next ten years or so it is evident than in the next ten years or so oil demand will peak and we will have other sources such as petrochemicals but it will not bid for transportation because of the environmental ramifications. we also do natural gas and emissions in our tea m do natural gas and emissions in our team and you can see how much more interesting has been over the last few years and that is really were a lot of growth is for us. it is a good talking point at the geneva motor show because carmakers are still making big diesel suv 's. there is still a huge demand for those kind of cars that cause a lot of pollution. suv is where the highest selling cars last year. and with petrol so low, the price to fill up so low. our story from the
5:51 am
guardian talking about the oil price rising sharply. what do you make of this? i mean, obviously bigger projects and is coming in all the time. to be fair, this has been one of our core projections for two yea rs of our core projections for two years now, 1.5 years now. i am glad they are coming around to it because at the end of today this is an industry with very long lead times and while we are bearish on long—term demand i think the problem is what happens between now and the next five years when you can not replace things are quickly. it takes time. there have been no capital expenditure... to be fair, they have not been able to invest because their profits have been so low. absolutely. in 2019 we had the lowest number of project starting up in15 lowest number of project starting up in 15 years. how about exxon? a massive investment? that is significant for the two reasons. it is going back to the us in terms of investing huge amounts. is that because of donald trump, the fact that it because of donald trump, the fact thatitis because of donald trump, the fact that it is returning to the us?”

think companies are moving away from big capital expenditures and spending and projects, deepwater projects, more expensive upfront. shale may be more expensive but it gives you the flexibility of increasing production when there is demand. but you need to then reaching a refining system because the quality of oil is quite different. and that is what causes the investment. shale is very light and most refined replace used to have read bastinac —— heavy oil. and most refined replace used to have read bastinac -- heavy oil. in brazil, there is a disconnect between the people and the president. it is said that the president. it is said that the president held a taxpayer funded bank would sue persuade people to support his budget cuts. how much lower ca n support his budget cuts. how much lower can the country go? we have
5:53 am
been reporting on their economic woes for years. unemployment is at an all—time high and austerity measures have been ongoing and now critics are warning that it is going to have a negative impact on health and education. it is quite bizarre because while that has been going on the brazilian stock market has had a good run and oil price has returned which has helped brazil. the have the olympics, of course, it is quite a mixed and compensated picture, isn't it? because corruption is widespread it is not filtered through. go to brazil quite often for work and they always say it is going to be an economy that is a lwa ys going to be an economy that is always going to rise. it is always about the future, never in the present. sunday brazil is going to do well, they just present. sunday brazil is going to do well, theyjust don't know when. speaking about the future, how would you like to end your... do you like a feelgood movie or a horror?” think this is going to destroy all the suspense. if you choose your ending... foryou watch? are men,
5:54 am
where is the suspense? interesting, isn't it? you could turn a comedy into a slasher movie. a night in the museum, into a slasher movie. a night in the museum , you into a slasher movie. a night in the museum, you know? i don't like the idea. i don't want to know what is coming. i would like to be in control but, actual, with a movie would rather lose yourself. so, for example, the ending to la la land is not what you would expect at all. they got mowed down by a machine—gun? they got mowed down by a machine-gun? no, that is not the ending! but the fact it was an unusual lending was part of the... thank you very much. i hear you are travelling so please enjoy your journeys. and when you return, please return here. season top the start of the week the start of the week brought a mixture of sunshine and showers, and showers,
5:55 am
but we were very close to some severe and potentially damaging weather. just across the way, in brittany, a gust approaching 120 mph. that area of low pressure brought us some rain in the south—west and the channel islands, and is running away across europe rapidly now, to bring more some snow to the alps, take some wetter weather across italy and to the adriatic, potentially bringing some damaging mistral winds to south—east france, and gusty winds into sardinia and corsica. here at home, things are very much quiter. the winds quite light, actually, and a lot of the showers that we had earlier on are beginning to fade away. so we will see clearer skies developing, and it will be turning into quite a chilly night. ground frost, i think, in many places, and in the countryside there may be a pinch of air frost as well. so a chilly start to tuesday morning, but a dry and bright one for the most part. the showers along those north sea coasts tending to pull away. and instead we look to the west to see increasing amounts of cloud coming our way, and eventually some outbreaks of rain and drizzle, too. for most of the day, mainland scotland will be dry, but we will keep some showers
5:56 am
going across the northern isles, towards lerwick, shetland in particular. and we will see the cloud increasing in scotland, ahead of this rain that arrives in northern ireland through the afternoon. it is mostly light and patchy. ahead of it, still dry across many central, northern and eastern parts of england. a decent enough day, the sunshine turning increasingly hazy as the cloud increases. and we will see some patchy rain coming into wales and the south—west of england as well. no great amounts during daylight hours. through the evening, the rain turns a bit heavier, and briefly we could see a bit of snow in the scottish mountains. but the rain across northern parts of the country doesn't last too long. it is further south across england and wales where the rain grinds to a halt a bit overnight. that wil keep the temperatures up, leading to some misty weather and some hill fog. clearer skies to the north, and it will be turning a touch chilly. some stronger winds in the far north—west of scotland, perhaps, and a milder wind blowing across southern parts of england and wales, where we are more likely to keep some drizzly rain going through the day. a lot of cloud across much of wales, south midlands, southern england. so a bit of a damp and dreary sort
5:57 am
of day, but decent temperatures. further north, though, it will be sunnier, and watch out for some heavy showers in the north—west later in the day in particular. that weather front does eventually take that rain and drizzle away from southernmost parts of england, and then it comes back in again from off the atlantic towards the south—west of england, so here we will see some rain arriving on thursday. brighter day for many other areas. a little sunshine, a few blustery old showers across northern parts of scotland. decent temperatures, and staying mild and cloudy on friday. hello, this is breakfast, with louise minchin and dan walker. facebook underfire. a bbc investigation has found it failed to remove sexualised images of children. a senior mp says the findings cast grave doubts on the effectiveness of facebook‘s systems. good morning, it is tuesday 7 march. also this morning: hundreds of millions of pounds of extra funding to set up new schools, but teaching unions say the money should be spent on existing ones.
