5:50 am
that he would say that in front of a saudi arabian audience. more ships, more military equipment, more defence to saudi arabia which is engaged in a war with yemen, where there is a humanitarian disaster unfolding. it is so difficult, such a difficult region to play. iran just had a free election. do they have free elections in saudi arabia? i women —— are have free elections in saudi arabia? | women “ are women have free elections in saudi arabia? i women —— are women allowed to vote? you've i women —— are women allowed to vote ? you've got i women —— are women allowed to vote? you've got to ask yourself whether he's playing to the crowd or whether he's playing to the crowd or whether he's playing to the crowd or whether he will stick to those values. does he hold those values did his heart? it's going to be a very interesting visit over the few days. he has to get away from what is going on in the us. in terms of his tricky situation. he is using this trip as a way to move the news

it seems they are holding out hope that the united states will one day jump that the united states will one day jump back into the fray. should trump be impeached, maybe, but there is no sign of it. the guardian, fascinating revelations about how facebook polices what people post on the social media site. the guardian has really changed its mastered this morning to reveal these facebook secrets. they claim there are 2 billion users of facebook and they have seen more than 100 internal training manuals about how to deal with violence, terrorism, hate speech. there is a lot to read but essentially, it shows that facebook have such a mighty problem. are you a publisher, trying to understand what people are posting and determining whether it is right or
5:53 am
are you not a publisher, are you a new media company of some kind? certainly various issues have come up certainly various issues have come up in this suggesting facebook themselves are finding it difficult to make a decision within seconds as to make a decision within seconds as to what they do and don't keep on the site but this is why the internet is going through a tricky phase. even one of the founders of twitter is quested, evan williams, as saying the internet is broken. this is a period of introspection that the internet is going through. so, le pen abandoning frexit. would you believe it? le pen in the telegraph, one of her senior officials, is saying that, i think it's time we have to ditch our long—standing policy of coming out of the euro. frexit is no more. they realise the people voted for macron
5:54 am
for a reason. they are saying, no more. this is her attempt to get backin more. this is her attempt to get back in but she has a longtime will to wait. and you are celebrating, being a chelsea fan. very sad for arsenal, though. manchester united might not get in either. i think this is really interesting, how players are determining where they should work based on whether their clu b should work based on whether their club is in the champions league or not. that is a quick whistlestop tour of some of the stories out there. we will see you soon. hello there. the weather has been warming up over the past couple of days, and that warming trend is set to continue through much of this week. here was a scene taken by one of our weather watchers
5:55 am
in cornwall during sunday. some sunny skies there, bit of cumulus cloud. a similar picture through much of this week. things are going to be warming up and feeling quite sunny, and largely dry conditions on the cards, too, down to the fact that we've got high pressure which is going to be in charge of our weather. at the moment it is sitting out to the east, and we have an area of low pressure. now, through monday, then some of us will see some rain on this fairly weak front. during monday morning that is pushing into western parts of northern ireland, bringing patchy showers, heading to the western isles of scotland, too, but for the rest of scotland it is a fine start to your monday morning commute. 8:00am in the morning, some sunshine here. cloudy with a few spots of drizzly rain likely across northern ireland. but, as we head our way south across the whole of england and wales, it is a dry picture here. temperatures in the mid—teens by the time we get to 8:00am in the morning, so a pleasant monday morning to start off your working week. light winds, too, and is looking dry and settled.
5:56 am
it stays that way through the course of monday across england and wales. further north, for northern ireland and into scotland later on, we will start to see that rain moving its way slowly from west to east. it will be followed by some sunshine, but temperatures here at 17 or 18 degrees under the cloud, with a little light rain. but further south, 2a, possibly 25 celsius. we could see the warmest day of the year over the next few days. now, monday evening and overnight into tuesday, that rain pushes into the northern isles, sitting here for a while, but elsewhere across the uk a largely dry, clear start to tuesday morning. could be one or two mist patches around, but it should be a frost—free sort of morning. now, through tuesday as the high—pressure starts to push in from the south, we're going to be drawing in a westerly breeze, and with those westerly winds coming in from the atlantic, we are going to bring a bit more cloud around western hills and coasts, perhaps hill fog and some drizzle for the hills of wales, for instance, and western scotland, too. meanwhile, for central and eastern parts of the country, that is your best bet of catching some long spells of sunshine. it won't be quite as warm, a bit more cloud around in general,
5:57 am
and temperatures around 23 degrees on tuesday. wednesday is going to be another warm day, with high pressure well and truly in charge. so dry pretty much across the board, i think, on wednesday. perhaps the slight chance of a shower in the north—west and temperatures between around about 17 to 2a or 25 degrees. that warming trend continues towards the end of the week. by the time we get to friday, we could well see 26 degrees, or even a little bit more. enjoy, bye for now. hello, this is breakfast, with dan walker and louise minchin. labour pledges that english students at english universities won't have to pay tuition fees this year, if it wins the election. the party brings forward its pledge to abolish the fees, to include students who're starting this autumn, as well as those who've already begun their course. good morning, it's monday the 22nd of may.
5:58 am
