two people have been killed and dozens of others injured in an earthquake which struck tourist resorts on the aegean sea. the deaths occurred on the greek holiday island of kos when the ceiling of a building collapsed. us media reports say a spokesman for president trump's legal team has resigned. mark corallo had been dealing with the media on behalf of the lawyers representing mr trump as he faces an inquiry into alleged links with russia. the lead singer of the american rock group linkin park has died in an apparent suicide. the coroner's office in la said chester bennington had been found dead at his home. now it is time for our newspaper review. what's making headlines around the world 7 let's start with the independent, where they're leading with a big picture of former nfl star oj simpson. the american, famously acquitted of murder in 1995, has been released on parole after serving nine years for kidnap and robbery. next up in the guardian, it's more brexit news. they're running with the headline "free movement may go
5:46 am
on until 2023, ministers accept". they're reporting that's part of a transition deal, which senior cabinet members have finally agreed on. talking of senior cabinet members, boris johnson, uk foreign secretary, is looking animated on the front page of the japan times. he's there of course to clinch some trade deals with the japanese and to meet a couple of humanoid robots in the process, it seems! many of you must be heading off on summer holidays soon. well, let's hope you're not flying today — we have a story on our own website about how today is the busiest day of the year to hit the skies. and finally, wanting to make a quick bob this summer? thought about moon dust? the chicago tribune reports that one woman has made over $1 million auctioning some of the shiny stuff. so let's begin. with me is paul charles, ceo of pc agency, a travel and lifestyle consultancy. he will take us through the papers. a warm welcome to you. let's start
5:47 am
with a front—page story on the independent, the picture of oj simpson looking pretty happy. he is coming out after nine years over 33 year sentence and this was, we understand, to be expected. he's happy for that reason, he's managed to get away with it, again, some would argue! you don't have many supporters left in the us i don't think it is a recent poll said something like 7% of people believed he may be, allegedly, not guilty of murdering his former wife of course, nicole simpson, and herfriend ron goldman. back in 1995, if you remember that street chase, the la cops... and that was one of the first times we saw rolling news break into normal programming, something we take for granted today. it was a big thing, 22 years ago, it was the first example of a major story taking over global networks. and he got away with it then, some would say... there was a civil case,
5:48 am
was there, a few years later, in which he was found guilty weston also ordered to pay back $30 million of compensation. have increased, i think it is 58 million now and it is largely unpaid, despite the fact he gets $20,000 per month pension from the nhl. they cannot touch that, for the nhl. they cannot touch that, for the money has not been repaid to the families are suffering, they will not get the money, the drifting out to sea with his life will be like at the age of 70 back in the real world away from prison. let's see what he does. and how much media attention he gets! and how many books he writes, which i suspect he may do. we cannot do a paper review without talking about brexit. brexit? what is that? free movement may go on until 2023, ministers accept. well, the bristol clearly a lot of disagreement in the uk cabinet about what shape or form brexit will take.
5:49 am
but it does appear, according to the papers, there is some movement at the soft brexiteers as they are called a b ready to do some sort of transition deal. the hard brexiteers, it could be the free movement will go on until 2023, some four years after britain apparently will come out of brexit, if it does. so it seems as though the are some signs of leeway and some signs that actually people are now agreeing, which is a far cry from where we we re which is a far cry from where we were a few days ago where you have the cabinet in open warfare. so the may has won her battle to get her ministers to start talking to each other properly, which is no mean feat, or they are putting on a brave face during this week's talks. michel barnier though, he was complaining that things aren't clear, he is saying david davis isn't coming to him with a fully formed suggestion as to how they go forward. not surprising because the cabinet is still slightly at odds so i dare say david davis doesn't have
5:50 am
a clear strategy to michel barnier but it seems as though he has had two sets of talks, and they are making some progress and you expect michel barnier, and negotiator, to be negotiating, saying i want more, i want tougher deal, it will go on every month for the next two years potentially. or just every month for the next two years potentially. orjust under two yea rs. potentially. orjust under two years. but certainly some ground for further agreements now. they are treading a much better path than they were and i think you are going to see this as they meet every month and will be going back and forwards. thejury is and will be going back and forwards. the jury is out on whether there will be any deal at all, of course. borisjohnson is will be any deal at all, of course. boris johnson is in japan will be any deal at all, of course. borisjohnson is injapan talking trade, a picture of him talking to a robot. no one else is listening! she is sometimes called the maybot. this is sometimes called the maybot. this is bobot, or is being bald lists, —— boris being boris. talking about
5:51 am
trade deals on what sort of deal that they could do with japan in two yea rs that they could do with japan in two years time but yes, he is banging the drum. interestingly he's been dispatched to japan, maybe getting him out of the way taringa brexit talks this week, but let's hope he making progress. it has to speak to various countries about to bring deals. the issue of trade with japan is timely given that tokyo has signed a free—trade agreement with the eu. at the beginning of this month, it is due to come in early 2019 as brexit comes in. that was the day it took four days ago for four years to negotiate it has been a lot of talk of the japanese premiersaid he a lot of talk of the japanese premier said he was a agreement with the uk but to bring it into force in time. the clock is ticking. under two years. it is hoped borisjohnson is making more progress than he appears to be. this is the point with all of the trade deals, we heard that canada made a trade deal with the eu but again, it took yea rs, with the eu but again, it took years, and every country we have to go to to make those deals, it won't
5:52 am
be wrapped up in 18 months. not at all and goldman sachs were complaining about the lack of certainty and this is the problem in business but i hear every day, the lack of certainty on any form of brexit. no one knows what will happen. and those japanese banks, a numberof them happen. and those japanese banks, a number of them have said they will be moving certain people to frankfurt, putting contingency plans in place and one of the chief executives of robin sachs said it will make a definite assurance on what will happen, they have to put their insurance plans in place and every day they are spending money on it. these are big differences that need to plan 3—5 years in the depths ofa need to plan 3—5 years in the depths of a two—year timeframe isn't very helpful. so you need certainty and thatis helpful. so you need certainty and that is what has to come out of downing street and all of the ministers and one of the issues is not enough negotiators. britain doesn't have enough skilled people to actually do all these, do all the talking, do the deals. there is no way we will see a brexit deal that fixes everything we have at the moment in two years. are you going
5:53 am
on holiday? not today, luckily! tell us on holiday? not today, luckily! tell us about this, uk air traffic controllers warning of overcrowded skies. this is the people who make sure the planes stay up in the sky, nats, said the infrastructure needs to improve. they are investing but they are worried there are too many planes, 40,000 more planes than this time last year. it's a new record. what is happening essentially is certain planes, or lots of us are not troubling the past are additional hotspots like egypt and turkey, we are travelling to spain and italy, and what that means is more planes at edging into uk airspace orfrom more planes at edging into uk airspace or from uk more planes at edging into uk airspace orfrom uk airspace is about coping with more planes and it means more delays and more infrastructure is needed. being in a british airport right now is no fun. idid not british airport right now is no fun. i did not choose to travel today
5:54 am
which is why. now a moon dust bag has landed one woman in chicago $1.8 million. she bought it for $995 on a us government website, tell us about this. this is a bag of space dust they came back with neil armstrong from the lending in 1969, it is sold for a lot more money than expect did, someone has done very well and is now hiding it somewhere in their closet! would you keep it or sell it? sell it! what are you keeping it in your closet for? paul, thank you very much. with more in a few moments. ——a quick more. —— back with more. hello, once again. a number of schools have just started their long summer break but i'm afraid right on cue we have low pressure bringing disturbed weather rather than the big area of high—pressure settling things
5:55 am
down nicely, encouraging you to get away to the seaside or out into the fresh air. what does that low pressure mean? first up, it means a wet and windy start across the western side of the british isles. further east, it's not a cold start, but a dry and fine one, with sunshine for the east of england and the north of scotland. but right from the word go in the south—west of england, the winds will be really quite noticeable. gusts inland could push towards 30—40mph and there will be showers, if not longer spells of rain. drier further east, right up to the eastern side of the pennines. not wall—to—wall sunshine, but a good deal drier. northern ireland, an atrocious start if you're out on the roads. an awful lot of surface water and spray around and a fair breeze as well. the north of scotland, having had such a wet end to thursday, well, a glorious start to the new day on friday. all the while that area of low pressure churns away very slowly, just sitting over the southern parts of the republic of ireland, and that weather front is really struggling to make meaningful eastward progress.
5:56 am
so that's good news for the eastern side of england, but it will turn and stay very wet indeed for a good part of northern ireland well into the afternoon down through wales, the western side of england and into the south—west. that will be a really tough day at the office for both golfers and spectators alike for the second day of the open. a lot of cloud around and i think the early showers will turn into longer spells of rain. the breeze nagging all the while. because of the low pressure, heavy showers around. breezy for a time. for some there will be drier interludes as well. not a write—off by any means at all. here we are on saturday. breezy in the circulation of that low and that's where we have the bulk of the showers. maybe a rumble of thunder too. a scattering of showers developing in the afternoon further north in england and wales, up into the borders of scotland and northern ireland. the further east you are the drier it will be and in the north
5:57 am
of scotland make the most of saturday because here is sunday. an onshore wind and this is rain rather than showers. the showers are there to be had further south across many parts. not everybody gets to see them, but the odd one thrown in there will be heavy. so a lot of cloud at lords and the chance of a shower. unbroken play throughout the day, i think that's very unlikely indeed. enjoy your weekend. hello, this is breakfast, with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. a warning that uk skies could be running out of room. today will be the busiest air—travel day on record. as the summer holiday season kicks off, air—traffic chiefs call for drastic modernisation in the way aircraft are guided across uk airspace. a record 8,800 flights are expected to take to the skies today. i'm here at air traffic control in swanwick to find out how they manage it. good morning.
5:58 am
