having clashed with protesters on the sidelines of a may day parade. the paper has the latest on this week's presidential election. india's business standard has a meeting between prime minister narendra modi and turkey's president recep tayyip erdogan. mr modi called for turkish investment in india, while mr erdogan suggested free—trade talks between the two countries. a high level report in the uk urges britain to fundamentally rethink its approach to the middle east — distancing itself from the united states. the guardian reports that the study looks at how britain must adapt, given that american foreign policy is shifting under donald trump. it describes his leadership as "unpredictable". the arab news has a poll about how americans view the arab world. it finds that eight out of ten of them can't identify the region on a map — and a fifth think that agra—bah, the fictional city from ‘aladdin‘,

is part of the middle east. the daily telegraph looks at plans by the european commission to create a digital single market, and how it would affect content licensing. the paper says 400 industry organisations are attacking the move, saying it erodes the cornerstone of the tv and film businesses. with us is mark davies, ceo of strategy consultancy camberton. thank you forjoining us. we are going to talk about france, le figaro‘s coverage. the picture on the front is pretty horrific, but so are the tensions? day. i think it is certainly not a great photo. they're often riots in paris that are not covered. there is the election on

sunday. there are tensions, not the polls put emmanuel macron farcically ahead, 60% versus marine le pen at 40%. i ahead, 60% versus marine le pen at a0%. i don't think there is much doubt that le pen is going to get beaten. those who voted for macron in the first round, they did so relu cta ntly. in the first round, they did so reluctantly. they didn't see anyone else they could vote for. so, the whole race is not really inspiring anybody and it is a race against le pen. it has been put that this is the very thing that is shifting politics, this huge antiestablishment feeling across the world that we have seen. donald trump in the white house. despite what we say about macron‘s popularity, marine le pen still has a lot of popularity behind her. she

does, but the french system makes it difficult for anyone to challenge that. in 2002, herfather had someone that. in 2002, herfather had someone stand against him. macron has done the opposite of what happened then. he said he only wants people to support him if they genuinely believe in him. people have said, that they don't. it will be interesting to see the turnout and people who actually vote. be interesting to see the turnout and people who actually votem will be interesting. macron has talked about a certain view, a certain image of the world. we had one candidate who used to talk about uncertainty in france. this is very similar. he is to some extent a continuity candidate. he has also been a finance secretary. in some

ways he wants to characterise himself as something new, but in some ways he is very much the same, and le pen is trying to capitalise on that. interestingly, this has not had not that much coverage, but here we have coverage of the india— turkey business summit. it is interesting, the detail coming out of this, how much these countries do actually trade. the numbers aren't huge. i think the surprise is, we hear about locking up journalists and things that effectively destroy the turkish status... he is over in india talking about trade, but it is interesting that the first thing he has said is that those trade talks are dependent on some sort of

resolution regarding kashmir. we don't see recep tayyip erdogan as a peacemaker, but that is how he is trying to portray himself. we obviously do a fair amount of business with india ourselves, but i can tell you from experience that it is not the easiest place to grow as an outsider and conduct business. is not the easiest place to grow as an outsider and conduct businessm is interesting that the world's most populous country, everybody wants a bit of the action. and the president is kind of rolling out the red carpet, saying, it yes, please, invest in our roads and infrastructure. we would love that. you would love that! and yet it is difficult for companies when it comes down to logistics to go ahead. everything that you hear, the characterisation and stereotypes, thatis characterisation and stereotypes, that is absolutely true. from my own

experience, trying to get permits and the rights to trade there is very difficult. it is wanting to go and talk to the prime minister, but on the ground, it is a different story altogether. what is interesting to me is the fact that recep tayyip erdogan is turning up and playing the part of peacemaker, which is absolutely not the image we get off him here in the uk. this interesting report in the guardian, warning the british government to have a rethink about middle east policy? they talk about donald trump being unpredictable, so i am not sure how deep this report goes. that is the sort of wind that most of us could have come outwith. —— line. it says that we need to strike out on our own it says that we need to strike out on ourown and it says that we need to strike out on our own and work out what is going on for ourselves. it does not really present any solutions, it just says that we cannot rely on donald trump. yes, i think we could

work that out for ourselves. at the next step is important. who do we rely on? they're ultimately only two superpower players, the united states and russia. that has been the case for ever. the suggestion is not, you must spend more time talking to rush. there is talk that we don't have the relations that we should have with saudi arabia. but when we do try and get more involved with them, there is usually an outcry about human rights issues. so, this report has been shared by lord howell and a number of other peers. i think it is much weakerfor the fact that it doesn't actually suggest what should be happening. the fact that it doesn't actually suggest what should be happeningm is interesting for british readers of the guardian, it would be more significant if other countries made similar reports. yes, possibly. even

looking at the most recent event in the middle east, the bombing of syria by trump, each of those middle eastern countries had a different approach to that. saudi arabia, in that instance, were really quite supportive. in the meantime, moving oi'i supportive. in the meantime, moving on to the arab news, they have dedicated most of their front page to this poll that concludes over 80% of americansjust to this poll that concludes over 80% of americans just cannot identify the arab world on a map? it is unclear whether they mean the bulk of the arab world, in the way it is pictured in a graphic, or whether they are talking about pinpointing individual countries. i think if they are talking about individual countries, it is not surprising people can't identify which is which. there are some that might be more obvious, such as egypt, but... to be fair, we might not be able to pick out the states of the united states! i wonder how many people in the middle east can name all 50

american states. we are all slightly guilty of being a bit ignorant of the wider world and till you go there. 80% of americans don't have a passport. but when you look at america, why would you want one? it isa america, why would you want one? it is a huge and fantastic place. you would want to discover your own country. i think what is funny about this is that they have picked this... disney, 20% of people think that agra bah is this... disney, 20% of people think that agrabah is a real place, and 30% of people would support a travel ban of people coming from there! it isa ban of people coming from there! it is a fictional place from a —— aladdin. amazing. stay with us on bbc news. hello, good morning.

we just had the warmest day of the year in northern ireland. 20 degrees in county tyrone. a lovely day in the sunshine. we also had some similar temperatures in the south—west of scotland. again, nice and warm with some sunshine. the best of the weather over the week ahead will probably be across western scotland and northern ireland. we have more cloud coming into eastern scotland, north—east england, quite low cloud and these are the temperatures by the time we get to early tuesday. seven or eight degrees typically. a little bit of mist and fog towards the south—west after that rain on monday. the showers that we had, some lively, have headed southwards into the near continent and high pressure will come to dominate eventually, but this weather front here could spoil things a bit, coming in off the southern north sea. we'll see some showers. a mishmash in the morning with sunshine and areas of cloud. but more cloud and perhaps few showers coming in off the north sea

into more central and southern parts of england. for much of the day, the south—west is likely to be dry as well as wales, nice and warm in the sunshine, but feeling cooler under this cloud, especially as the wind picks up. showers will be light, but there could be a few heavy ones in south—east later on. showers as far north of northumberland, to the west it is likely to be dry. and temperatures not quite as high across northern ireland and scotland as they were on monday but 18 degrees is quite likely. cool for eastern scotland under the cloud, though that should break up for a while. showers through the evening head in to wales and the south—west and they fade away and then we see, after a brief respite, some more showers coming in again from the southern north sea. a lot of cloud for england and wales, perhaps further north for scotland and northern ireland, but again on the chilly side in the highlands. as we head into wednesday, these showers and cloud thickening, mainly from the humber southwards into south—east of england, further west into england and wales, there will be some sunshine at times but the sunniest weather developing after a bit of a cloudier start

for scotland and northern ireland and again we will find temperatures here in the west into the high teens. another lovely day to come. not the sort of weather for dipping your toes in the north sea, perhaps, where the temperature will be eight or nine degrees. starting to warm up at this time of year. those temperatures are significant because the wind is coming in off the north sea. this high—pressure that's dominating our weather, fairly typical weather pattern for this time of year but means strong winds later on in the week. a lot of dry weather through the rest of the week. there will be sunshine around as well but it is always going to be cooler in the east, near the east coast in particular. more sunshine and higher temperatures further west. hello, this is breakfast, with dan walker and louise minchin. a war of words over britain's approach to brexit negotiations. senior eu sources accuse the government of being on a completely different wavelength, and warn talks could fail altogether. good morning, it is tuesday 2 may.

also this morning: shot dead by an intruder in his own home. police in dorset are still looking for two suspects in connection with the death of businessman guy hedger. we are live at the scene. a surfer is rescued after more than 30 hours missing at sea. the coastguard say he is lucky to be alive.
