"we were able to stabilise the world". the new york times website has allegations that donald trumpjunior met with a kremlin—linked lawyer after being offered damaging information about hillary clinton. it's claimed the meeting was held during last year's us presidential campaign period. the daily telegraph reports on a brexit—related news article written by some senior members of the european parliament. in it, they reject the uk's rights offer to europeans — calling it a "damp squib." "it will pay to be posh" is the headline in the financial times. it's looking at how certain human jobs will be lost as technology automation advances. it says people from more affluent backgrounds will be better off, because the so—called "soft skills" they have will be more valuable. let's have a look through those papers in more detail. with us is cornelia meyer, ceo of business consultancy mrl corporation. let's start with the mosul the

images of the devastation of that show how intense and epic the battle has been. you know, it's notjust mosul, it is throughout iraq, throughout syria, it's been an epic, it's been house to house, a fight, you have millions of displaced people, as you said, you have hundreds of thousands of people that died and it is great, we have to congratulate the iraqi army for having achieved the liberation but let's not forget it's not over because if you deal with thought of asymmetric warfare with nonstate actors, it's a little bit about water, if you push it away on one side it will go to the other. so they have been squeezed out but i thought it was a good write up by the correspondent who has been there but looking at the importance of the airstrikes because actually this couldn't have been achieved without the air strikes but of course that isa the air strikes but of course that is a much more blunt instrument when

trying to protect civilian lives. this is also when it comes to preserving cultural heritage, this was one of the great arab cities in this world. i mean, when we were looking at some of the reports filed in the frontline, from mosul, yesterday, there is a sense of how devastated the city is and one of the big challenges isn't hanging on the big challenges isn't hanging on the web to stop militants from coming back to start to think about how they would even begin to rebuild not just the how they would even begin to rebuild notjust the buildings but people ‘s lives. and let's not forget also you had isil having a state like structure and they had schools so there's hundreds of thousands of youngsters who would thoroughly indoctrinated. and has persuaded the people of mosul to get behind the iraqi government because when i first moved in, 85% of the residents there who were sunni majority them because of the fact the iraqi government, she alleged, had looked after them. it is the sad thing

about the iraq conflict, it is come to the forefront which was not there to the forefront which was not there to that extent, the sectarian divide between shias and sony. now, the 620, deutsche welle has been covering it closely. what is most interesting is what happens on the sidelines and behind—the—scenes. interesting is what happens on the sidelines and behind-the-scenes. and the elephant in the room which get, which you can see, and what was important essentially is everybody is starting to try to grapple with the new definition of how the us under donald trump was to define itself. there is no longer the clear western leadership of the us and the europeans are trying to grapple with angela merkel trying with president xijinping to angela merkel trying with president xi jinping to try to have some agreement on trade and climate change, to manage the situation. yet, china and germany are very

close on trade and these things but they are not for close on other things such as democracy and human rights. she is known as the summit chancellor but this won't have gone down as a success chancellor but this won't have gone down as a success really for her. some criticism about choosing hamburg is well and the violence and the cost of the damage even the protest on three consecutive nights. that was really, when you saw it, very violent protest and when you look at the protesters, all of them we re look at the protesters, all of them were non—violent and some of them we re were non—violent and some of them were but they shared one thing — they didn't agree that the 620 which represents two thirds of the world 's population and 85% of the world 's population and 85% of the world 's gdp should really be the deciding forum for where the world is going. it's interesting looking at the climate change aspect, the other nations in the eu recognising the us decision to withdraw from the paris accord. turkey starting to say

actually if this affects compensation, if the us are pulling out, there is compensation for developing countries than actually we have may have to rethink as well. turkey has voiced what other countries probably didn't voice because they were not represented, they were not so many emerging economies at the table. turkey is classified as a developing country which means they would actually get money rather than contribute. and i think this is the work you will need to find the help developing countries along. the new york times, another potential russian connection! this is donald trump junior who was running the property empire now for his father, apparently, even though his father has a go for access through a trust but he doesn't have to reveal his links with people close to the kremlin. talk us through. for many people watching these russian connections and you know, are moving

so connections and you know, are moving so incrementally, where are we? what i find scary is the chairman of the proper campaign was i find scary is the chairman of the propercampaign was in i find scary is the chairman of the proper campaign was in the meeting —— trump campaign. and his son—in—law gerard kushner was in the meeting. for they met a lawyer who had links to the kremlin as an introduction, she had damaging information about hillary clinton to reveal. but this is after donald trump has won? no, this was before, before donald trump had won, it was before, and that's why it wasn't — onjune nine before, and that's why it wasn't — on june nine 2016. before, and that's why it wasn't — onjune nine 2016. during the campaign. but you know, kushner should have revealed it but the other thing is what are these people doing talking to another nation, to a foreign nation, about information about another candidate ? a foreign nation, about information about another candidate? this is like the conservatives going to talk

to whatever, slovenia awesome country, about damaging information aboutjeremy country, about damaging information about jeremy corbyn. country, about damaging information about jeremy corbyn. not that we are suggesting that has happened at all! no, it hasn't! but it is extraordinary. this is not... this is not the history between russia and the united states doesn't really lend itself to see them as a friendly ally. again, it is drop, drop, drop, there is no knockout blow. we don't have much time left and let's push on. the european parliament looks at the damp squib offer on rights. explain what it means. it means the european court ofjustice's means. it means the european court of justice's ability, . .. means. it means the european court ofjustice's ability,... eu citizen to stay in this country who want to have the same rights as they have a lwa ys have the same rights as they have always had. exactly, that means the ability of work and up to now, if

any eu citizen could come in and bring in your dependence but now there will be a threshold of how much you earn to bring independence and stuff. as the article seems to say the european parliament will create a second class of citizenship. absolutely, and when you look at it, i've come back from the continent and when you look at the continent and when you look at the common, especially on german tv, they are saying, there is a lot of anger about how we, britain, they are saying, there is a lot of angerabout how we, britain, are handling brexit. time to slip into financial times, it will pay to be posh when the revolution comes. ai really now being discussed by so many people. and the changes it will make! hundreds of thousands of accountants and people like that, not so well paid white—collarjobs are going out and of course it will pay to be posh because probably if you have good mathematics skills,

that will help you and if you have good interpersonal skills.|j that will help you and if you have good interpersonal skills. i don't think that's posh. but if you have a higher income, it easier for you to get the extra training. a lot of posh people don't have very much money either. it is soft skills. but also if you have more access to, posh people have access to things, access to training, they have access to things that are not so posh people have. but billions of job potentially a threat. millions of newjobs will be created. potentially a threat. millions of new jobs will be created. some people will say it pays to be posh. cornelia, good to see you. thank you indeed. from us, but he's a look at the national and international press. see you soon. hello there. the weekend's weather brought us plenty of warm sunshine. there was a bit of rain across northern and western parts of the country.

but, as we head through much of the coming week, things are about to change. here is a scene sent in from sunday afternoon, southend—on—sea, in essex. now, through the course of this coming week, the weather is much more changeable. there'll be some rain for many of us, at times, and things won't be quite as warm. so cooler conditions particularly overnight, you'll be pleased to hear, if you found it fairly uncomfortable for sleeping in recent nights. now, during monday, we have that low pressure and frontal systems not far away from the uk, bringing some showery rain to many parts of the country. through the day on monday, one frontal system brings a bit of rain to the east of scotland, north—east of england, as well. that should ease away through the day, and then for all of us it is a day of sunny spells and scattered showers, and across eastern england, in particular, some of the showers heavy and thundery, bringing a lot of heavy rain, and some hail and thunder as well. northern ireland, though, having a dryer day, with some sunshine into the west of scotland. eastern scotland staying fairly cloudy and damp. then as we head our way south across england and wales, some heavy showers, especially towards the east.

could catch one or two heavy showers almost anywhere across england and wales. the south—west probably having a dryer interlude, and the south—east still some torrential downpours bringing some sub—surface—water flooding. now, there is the chance that the showers could stay away from wimbledon. so a largely dry day, but there is the chance that we could see some showers interrupting play, i think, during the afternoon. then, heading through into the evening hours, those heavy showers in the east eventually start to ease away. thunderstorms dying down overnight, but then we'll see the next batch of rain moving in from the west. we could see 26 degrees in the south—east. tuesday, then, starts off not quite as high and mighty as recent nights, but still 15 or 16 degrees across the south—east. and then, as we move through the day, this showery rain from central parts of england and wales moves eastwards. still some dryer weather, though, for the north—west of scotland, into northern ireland, too. more persistent rain works into the south—west of england later on in the afternoon. temperatures 15 to 21 degrees, reasonably fresher than it has been. through into wednesday, then, that rain works its way eastwards. so some rain, some welcome rain, for a time in the south—east. that should clear away, and then actually many of us having

a dryer day with a light breeze. certainly fresher than it has been for the time of year. moderate rain on wednesday, with a light breeze, and temperatures around 15 to 22 degrees. taking you through towards the end of the week, we will see some rain in the north—west, and temperatures continue to be not as hot as they have been. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. a crucial day for the parents of charlie 6ard as they return to court in the hope he'll be allowed to travel to the usa for treatment. judges will assess claims of new evidence which suggests the ii—month—old's quality of life could be improved. this morning we'll talk to charlie's mum connie yates. good morning, it's monday the 10th ofjuly. also this morning:

theresa may faces up to her disappointing general election result with a call to rival parties to work with her on issues like brexit and social care.
