first meeting with donald trump. the us president is on his first foreign trip — and he now attends that same g7 meeting, in sicily. global security, trade and climate change likely to be high on the agenda. many of the business pages are looking at a decision by opec to extend oil production cuts, to try and boost the price of crude. on news of the deal, the price slid downwards — markets not happy the cuts didn't go even further. that's in the gulf news. working longer, and harder perhaps. the guardian business section has a report from the world economic forum saying the retirement age in leading developing countries eventually needs to rise. the idea is to try and ward off a so—called pension crisis. apparent turmoil in the world bank, over the word "and". the organisation's chief economist got on the wrong side of staff there, after he said he wouldn't sign off a world development report if "and" made up more

than 2.6% of the text. that's in the financial times. let's have a look in more detail. with us is oliver cornock, editor—in—chief of oxford business group. good to see you. let's start with the fight against extremism and the call for technology giant to do more. we hear this quite often in the aftermath of such events. do you think this is the right tactic?m has to be one of the approaches to be looking at the broader problem of how to tackle this. in manchester, this again comes to the fore. when i speak to people about an asymmetric fight, it is not a binary position
5:48 am
but it is on many fronts and the internet is unfathomably deep. no surprise to me this is a focus. and that prime minister theresa may is leading on that. what power we have two make these social media companies take a stronger stance is unclear. the other angle is freedom of speech. when do you draw the line? it is a thorny issue and it is not going to go anywhere soon. we we re not going to go anywhere soon. we were talking early in the week, the lea k of were talking early in the week, the leak of the guardian, the facebook files, talking about the feasibility of examining this material. how do you get enough people to sift through this vast quantity and to react quickly enough. the algorithms

that facebook and others are using the target you with advertising are very precise and it beggars the question that must be something that can be done. but it is always such a dangerous thing to say. the issue of manchester undoubtedly part of the discussion of the g7 summit when they meet in sicily, in a very nice surroundings, but plenty on their agenda. the stagnant growth among economies is not the easiest thing for them to deal with at an important thing to tackle? that back drop is not going to go away any time soon. we spoke about pension age. the simple fact is donald trump is using this as a success story—
5:50 am
saudi arabia, israel, the vatican and our sicily. and to that the appendix is of jared and our sicily. and to that the appendix is ofjared kushner at home. the accusations of nepotism will keep raising their ugly heads. but it is the conveniently unifying anti— terrorism story which is perhaps obscuring the issues of global trade and environmental issues. it is time to get to the nitty—gritty of discussing them. what you make of his diplomatic style. as we see from this footage, the president of montenegro, barging past him. this is not somebody who is the most gracious. maybe that is

his way of saying i shaking things up. his way of saying i shaking things --| his way of saying i shaking things up. ——i am stop. his way of saying i shaking things up. --i am stop. the majority of those attending this g7 meeting it will be the first time for them. donald trump, paolo gentiloni, donald trump, paolo gentiloni, donald trump, paolo gentiloni, donald trump and... i knew i would forget one of them stopped and angela merkel of the old hand. i am sure she would not like to be described as that. let's go to opec. explain principally why the markets in crude went down when they are talking about cutting supply which resume a bleak would push the price 7 resume a bleak would push the price up? there was a view that cut might be deeper. the trouble is compliance. if you come up with a
5:52 am
strategy to cut production, everybody has to play ball — russia, iraq, the people who need revenues in. a deepercut iraq, the people who need revenues in. a deeper cut was perhaps conceded dangerous because more members would not play ball therefore it is a happy medium. share productions when oil prices are in the span, if they go a little bit more towards $60 per barrel, america becomes viable so it is a bit of a catch—22 at the moment and the simple fact is it is supply and demand, simple economics. someone very wise said to me never predict the price of oil. if you could, you would be very rich. in a crisis. the figures are
5:53 am
avoid a crisis. the figures are really scary. these deficits in the pension pot are absolutely vast. $224 trillion is a figure he afful is not looking at some of the uk companies folding, because of one pension pot. when you look at nudging 100 years average age. the careful older people all these things become huge weight on an economy. this is the right to be talked about. it probably does not go far enough. government are dealing with pensions but also the health—care issue and that is a real expense. let's just finished health—care issue and that is a real expense. let'sjust finished with this, a very interesting piece. the world bank chief economist said we need to sort out the way we write reports, they are too wordy and also the use of the word "and". he is
5:54 am
probably not wrong in that. let's look at the headline, world bank in turmoil over semantics, i think we have a problem. when you read this story bit further it comes to the increasingly woolly style this guy is identifying and he is saying let's have more clarity. but the idea of putting percentages on what words people can use is a bit scary. i quite like that. in turmoil over these! time is up, see you soon. the hot may weather is going to continue for a few more days yet, in fact, it's going to turn increasingly humid, particularly across southern areas of the uk and the sunshine is very powerful —
5:55 am
we'll talk about that injust a second. in the short—term, very quiet on the weather front, out there, lots of clear skies and a very warm night, in fact, first thing in the morning, across scotland temperatures are round 15—17 celsius. here's the morning, around 8 o'clock, you can see there's hardly a cloud in the sky. honestly, clear blue skies right across the uk. temperatures already nudging up into the high teens, not far off 20 degrees, in some areas. already 20 in the lowlands of scotland. and even in inverness around 18 celsius. 18 for stornoway as well. so a sunny and very warm start to the day. through the course of the morning, we'll see many a few fluffy clouds building up but for most of us it's going to stay clear, and those south—easterly winds will keep on wafting in that hot air out of the near continent. these values, quite conservative. in some areas, it could even get up to around 28—29, including in parts
5:56 am
of scotland, also. a very hot day on the way there. on those uv levels — high throughout the country, unusually high across southern areas of the uk. we often forget, whether it is 2! degrees or 29 degrees, you will burn just as easily if you are not protected from the sun with sunscreen, and out for any lengthy period of time. then there's a change on the way. friday night into saturday we could see storms rumbling through western parts of the uk. quite often when we get storms, things do turn a bit fresher, not necessarily on saturday. in fact, the air will keep on wafting in from the south, so humid air increasing and we will see the threat of thunderstorms. temperatures perhaps rising to 28—30 degrees, just that little bit less hot there, across scotland. into sunday, it does look as though fresher air gets into the northern half of the uk, but in the south, we'll see certainly increasing amount of cloud but also increasing humidity. it'll turn more sticky across the south during sunday. and yes, that is rain and these could be storms as well, so sunday into monday not only does the humidity increase but also the threat of thunderstorms
5:57 am
and downpours. very difficult to predict what the temperature will be across southern areas on monday, if it stays cloudy and rainy, maybe in the low 20s. if the clouds break, it could even get up to 25 degrees. but you can see a lot fresher across northern areas, so bank holiday monday summary — sunshine and showers and fresher in the north, still warm and humid and stormy in the south. hello, this is breakfast, with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. jeremy corbyn says terrorist attacks at home can be linked to british military action, as he calls for a change in uk foreign policy. just days after the manchester attack, the labour leader will say the war on terror is simply not working. in the investigation overnight, police make another arrest, and carry out searches in the st helens area of merseyside. as the terror threat remains critical, we will be talking to the security minister about extra measures being put in place at events across the bank holiday weekend. good morning, it is friday 26 may.
