on thursday that she considers the uk withdrawal from the union as "a capital mistake". bike sharing is booming in china and, according to the south china morning post, the two big rival companies launching bike share schemes have had a boost to their start—ups thanks to pre—existing customer data bases. according to a study by the national cancer centre japan, some cancer drugs are less effective in elderly patients. the japan times reports that the findings could lead to a shift in patient treatment plans. and, finally, britain's publishing industry had a record breaking year in 2016, while sales of e—books fell 3%. according to gulf news, the stats show a reverse in reading trends because of screen fatigue. screen fatigue? too many screens! with me is ken odeluga, market analyst at city index. welcome. good to have you. good

morning. let's start with trump. not the first time! but it is coming up to that 100 days' mark tomorrow and the french press, including le figaro, are taking stock of what is being done. not a very favourable headline. they have zeroed in on trump's comments, calling this 100 days a ridiculous criterion, perhaps trying to illustrate the contradiction between the actual 100 days and the lack of achievements over those 100 days. kind of like a bit of a split down the whole presidency and the perception of his achievements. his supporters are still very said fast. —— said fast. at approval ratings are amongst the

worst of any president in the first 100 days. metal about the achievements that can't be accredited to him, when you look at things likejobs, thejobs numbers are good, growth numbers are relatively good. the state of affairs around the globe. they take while the contrary the pipeline. all of that he has obviously inherited, a good starting base. again the conviction is the way he speaks of america as broken in many respects and the fact that as you say full employment, economic progress, running at almost full steam. he is loudly projecting an agenda. what can be surely accredited to trump is
5:49 am
that business confidence is up, consumer confidence is up. if they are confident they spend money in the economy and the market rallies. hats off to that, if we are to give credit where credit is due. he is moderating. if you look at the banks and other aspects of trump trade, the banks had a bad start to the year. one other thing i wanted to add. quite a few of the websites are talking about this. more comments from him saying the job was harder than he thought. i mean... it's quite a tricky one. he actually said that he thought being president would be easier than running his company. quite striking... he has to buckle down and do some work! the frankfurter allgemeine. this is
5:50 am
about angela merkel. she isn't a happy bunny! although i kind of chuckle and think, she should be focused on september! she may not even be in power. she's probably focused a bit closer to the next few days. we have the eu summit, one of the first eu summit is about the uk asa the first eu summit is about the uk as a departing member. it won't be attending. this is where the eu will make up its guidelines about the exit. they will start to decide how they will deal with the uk from here on in. so the translation i believe is something like, angela merkel warns britain for false expectations on brexit negotiations. i think angela merkel is still following the playbook of, number one, underscoring that there will be some underlying support that she has a lwa ys underlying support that she has always had for the uk, her

relationship with cameron, not a bad relationship with cameron, not a bad relationship with cameron, not a bad relationship with theresa may. but she seems to be reiterating that don't expect an easy ride. the uk is the biggest car market in europe. the using the germans will stop selling their mercedes and aldi is to as? rubbish! theresa may says other countries are ganging up on britain but that's the nature of it! wait until france goes! they will have more problems on their hands. let's move to china. this is interesting. i think because of the way big companies are sharing their customer databases, this way big companies are sharing their customer data bases, this is way big companies are sharing their customer databases, this is moving between car sharing, car pooling and bike sharing. that's a big tie—up. this is the dominant ride hayling

service. i believe it's a sort of successof service. i believe it's a sort of successor of another company, which had merged with and had ties with it. none of these companies are making any sort of profit at all. it's all about market share. they're pumping billions of dollars into these markets, which they expect, just like in the us, expect to bring in huge benefits in the future, with backers like alibaba and western companies. what they realise is that at the moment date is more important than profits. the company has got themselves 400 million users across 400 chinese cities. that data is absolutely gold dust. so they've tied up with another local operator and they go up against the competitor in bike sharing, the
5:53 am
different company called i think mobile. they are wary that market share is drifting away to this rival. briefly, in about 30 seconds, it is interesting, this story about cancer and the treatment is not really working well in elderly people coming from japan, which is probably one of the biggest ageing population countries in the world. what are they going to do? you've got cancer and you are old, sorry exclamation mark mary mac that's the worry. we have many worries about research emerging about all sorts of things. —— sorry. that's the worry. this is focusing on research that showing the efficacy of cancer treatments on elderly people. cancer drugs can be very expensive. are you going to deploy these medicines on

people for whom the chances of success people for whom the chances of su ccess a re people for whom the chances of success a re low? people for whom the chances of success are low? but i think we are that stage yet. lots of caveats about the research as well. anyway, interesting. just quickly, you read books? i do with! i've tried to read on various e—readers. again i find myself drifting back to books. there's nothing better than a good novel in your hand. after a day on screens, getting back to paper is relaxing. thanks very much. we're out of time. have a great weekend. thanks for watching. hello. as we've been discovering of late, spring can offer up quite a wide variety of conditions and sometimes we try to cram it all into one day. that was the way of it on thursday at its best. absolutely no complaints in fife.
5:55 am
but elsewhere, nowhere near 15 degrees. quite a bit of cloud around and quite a few showers as well. that's how we are going to start friday too. the last of thursday's showers tending to migrate away from the eastern side of the british isles down away towards the west. but i think you'll notice, wherever you start the new day on friday, it won't be just as cold as was the start to thursday, where there was quite a widespread frost. i think not a particularly warm start to the day but 2—5 degrees — perfectly acceptable for this time of year. that thicker cloud across southern and western parts comes thanks to this rather weak weather front. if you are desperate for some rain i'm afraid again that is not the feature for you. it will produce a wee bit of rain first up across wales and the south—west midlands, into south—west england, but even here some areas will be dry right from the word go. and after a glorious start across some eastern parts, as we get on into the afternoon the cloud will bubble up somewhat
5:56 am
and there could be some showers from that as well. temperatures in a range at best from about 8—9 on the eastern coast and down to around about 14 or 15 on the south coast. the bank holiday weekend, breezy but the wind is coming in from the south and south—east, so milder than of late, and it wouldn't be a bank holiday without the mention of some rain. but we hold off on that prospect. through saturday there is a scattering of showers, no great organisation about them. many areas staying dry and, as i say, the breeze coming from the south. this is where we start mentioning the rain, with a deal of uncertainty, it has to be said. a lot of isobars there, so you'll be flying your kite, that's for sure, if you're out on the beach on sunday, but it will be a damp affair. certainly we suspect for the south—west, for wales, getting up towards northern ireland,
5:57 am
butjust how far north and east that rainbelt gets during the course of the day is open to a lot of uncertainty at the moment. so if you've got a plan for sunday, keep checking the forecast is the watchword at the moment, because that whole weather system could move with time and also in space. but we are more confident that on monday the feature will have moved away to the north sea, leaving behind a legacy of cloud, still a wee bit breezy in places, but there should be dry weather for the holiday monday. hello this is breakfast, with sally nugent and charlie stayt. a woman is shot and injured by police in an anti—terror operation in north—west london. gunshots. it happened after armed officers moved into a residential street in willesden. four people are arrested in the operation there.
5:58 am
this is the scene this morning. the operation is thought to be continuing. officers say it's not connected to the arrest of a man near downing street. good morning, it's friday the 28th of april. also this morning, released from prison — former marine alexander blackman, who had his sentence reduced for shooting dead an injured taliban fighter, goes free after three
