the picture on front of the independent shows chaotic scenes as crowds of palestinians resumed prayers at a sensitive holy site injerusalem. israel had removed the security measures it installed close to the al—asqa mosque earlier this month. but as the crowds arrived clashes broke out with israeli forces and dozens of people were hurt. the ft reports on president trump's new communications director anthony scaramucci who has launched a scathing attack on two senior colleagues. he described the white house chief of staff, reince priebus, as a paranoid schizophrenic, in an expletive laden tirade. frankfurter allgemeine focuses on porsche who will recall 22 thousand of its cayenne model over ‘irregular‘ engine management software. the luxury carmaker is owned by volkswagen, which admitted it had fitted some of its cars with a device to cheat on emissions tests. the guardian financial pages report on falling profits at sky television. the broadcaster has suffered a drop in subscribers as customers switch to popular streaming services such as netflix and amazon. and finally the boss of amazon, jeff bezos, has been crowned if only briefly the world's richest man. mr bezos‘ worth reached just over $90 billion, which put him ahead of microsoft founder bill gates. that's also in the ft. with me isjoel kibazo,

who's an independent media and public affairs consultant and managing director of fti consulting. thank you very much forjoining us. let's start with this story in the independent, worship turns to violence injerusalem. independent, worship turns to violence in jerusalem. indeed. there was a feeling from israel that by removing the barriers and restrictions that had been placed, which were placed on the area after the two policemen were killed on the 14th ofjuly, the two policemen were killed on the 14th of july, that the two policemen were killed on the 14th ofjuly, that things would settle but this is pent—up emotion from the palestinians who feel that their area has been attacked and desecrated. remember, although it is seen as desecrated. remember, although it is seen as a desecrated. remember, although it is seen as a holy area for thejewish faith, it's also wholly for the palestinians as the al—aqsa ask and the dome of the rock. this pent—up

emotions build over after what should have been a celebration. doesn't look like it will be put back into the box, in the past few minutes on the wires it sounds like they have banned men under the age of 50 from friday prayers today, women will still be allowed. this has always been a flashpoint and it's come up and hasn't gone away. it will continue to be so. if you ban men below 50, that's the majority of the population, you're saying the majority can't go to a holy site. this is something we will read more of an see more on our screens as these clashes continue. in the ft we have this story about antony scaramucci, the new communications director. he's only been there a week! one week today! how to win friends and influence people. maybe he doesn't care, maybe

that's the whole point? about this is the soap opera that is the white house, can you imagine what it's come to that we think of the white house as a soap opera! i've been a spokesman for two big operations and the one thing you learn is your never the story. scaramanga chi with his comments and he is rather acerbic style if you can put it like that, calling the chief of staff a paranoid schizophrenic, and of the terms —— sca ramouche paranoid schizophrenic, and of the terms —— scaramouche cheat. paranoid schizophrenic, and of the terms -- scaramouche cheat. he had slightly worse comments about steve bannen! he has become the story. it means the focus of what he might have been doing is going to turn on him. part of the trade means you never become the story, you are meant to be the one who covers up or gives what you believe is the definitive line. now you have a situation where the communications director is the story. we should

explain the context, he phoned a reporter presumably thinking this wasn't going to get out but... that is slightly naive. he's not a very good communications director if he didn't know that when you phone a reporter as the white house communications director it will get out. what is a journalist meant to do? it is very naive and i don't know if it shows he is up to the job. what can they do? he can't be fired or else it would be donald trump admitting he made a big mistake appointing him in the first place, and we heard from one of trump's spokespeople in a package we have ran this morning saying president trump encourages competition between his staff. that doesn't sound like a healthy work environment? this is the difference between running your own business in new york and having to run a nation. while it might have worked at trump tower is, i'm not sure it works in

the context of running a nation and running a serious government. —— trump towers. although he appears to like the attention within his team, i'm not sure that's the best way of running things and i think it will come to a head soon. apparently he wa nts to come to a head soon. apparently he wants to be the focus, donald trump thatis, wants to be the focus, donald trump that is, the focus of the story and he doesn't like it when others get more attention. this is why i've said he's made a big mistake, he is the focus of the story and the boss is watching! we've got the frankfurt, this story about portia, the diesel emissions scandal runs on. “ the diesel emissions scandal runs on. -- porsche. we always think of german technology and german cars as the gold standard and yet we have had this running for the last two or three years through the w and the portia cheyenne, which is meant to be the middle—class wagon you see on

the streets of europe and america —— vw -- the streets of europe and america —— vw —— porsche cheyenne. now they are being recalled. it seems like there's something deeply wrong at vw. it's a scandal that will not go away and the reading of the admissions system so that these cars have to be recalled and set up again. there is something deeply wrong and i'm not sure what it is but corrections will have to be made at vw. this ongoing process sounds the deathknell for diesel and the uk government this week said they would ban diesel and petrol cars by 2040 and norway is doing it by 2025. yesterday i picked up my carfrom and norway is doing it by 2025. yesterday i picked up my car from a local mechanic, he said i've got a new carfor local mechanic, he said i've got a new car for you and don't worry, it won't be diesel. i've got one, we we re won't be diesel. i've got one, we were told to buy them! sky, the boss

is still making quite a bit of money, but the company facing a fair bit of competition. it depends what you think about £ii.5 bit of competition. it depends what you think about £11.5 million! nothing compares 2 u a porsche cheyenne! —— nothing compared to. they decided to sell down some shares, worth about £ii.5 they decided to sell down some shares, worth about £11.5 million. that brings the sky boss's earnings to above £70 million since 2010 —— sky. not a bad figure. against this is the fact... two things, one is there's the bid for the whole of sky, the whole company, so you want to see what happens in that particular bid —— sky. analysts are looking at the fact there is now alternatives to sky. netflix, amazon

and other services and the model of having a dish and bringing things in through that way that we saw 30 yea rs through that way that we saw 30 years ago through one person is becoming outdated and i don't think people want something on top of their house like that. and competing on price? yes. video services are far cheaper. my daughter is only on netflix. what's interesting with netflix. what's interesting with netflix is their subscriber numbers are going up, 6.5 million in the uk, sky have between 12 and 13 million but the numbers are slowing. it says services like netflix, which sky doesn't allow customers to access via its box, they say it's not a direct threat to the business —— sky. and there's negotiations with the football and the new football contracts we've seen before but nonetheless we know where the trend is. we haven't got long but do these

men care about being the richest in the world? you know what, this is a problem i would love to have! however rich you are they say there's always someone richer than you! there's the story about jeff bezos being briefly ahead of bill gates as the richest man on the planet. i don't think they necessarily care. at that level it doesn't matter but i would love to have that problem! who knows, one day! may be one of those inventions will do it! that said, have a good day, goodbye. —— maybe. —— that's it. hello there, good morning. yesterday was one of those days where there was sunshine and then it clouded over and there was quite a bit of rain. in fact, mid—afternoon in london,

really atrocious weather for a time. and you can see here there was quite a lot of rain across many parts of the uk, but some sunshine in between. but those showers when they came along started turning quite heavy and thundery in the afternoon and on into the evening. now, they tend to fade away for many eastern areas overnight. but we'll keep some showers going in northern and western areas, temperatures dipping down to around about 12 degrees in aberdeen, 13 or so in london, 14—15 for cardiff and for plymouth. showers from early on across scotland and northern ireland, northern england too. there'll be some brighter weather for a time across east anglia and the south—east, but some showers in the south—west will be merging into a longer spell of rain into the afternoon. but through the afternoon it's sunny spells and showers again across scotland. always heaviest in the north and west. lighter the further east you are. sunny spells of sunshine here. about 17 degrees, but it is quite breezy. dry in the northern england for a time. but we've got this wetter weather developing across the south and west. and the winds will be picking up here as well. turning increasingly cloudy across the south—east. temperatures getting up to, what, 19—20 degrees,

but the rain looks like it will hold off until later on. so, it's good news at the oval. a bright start, but clouding over all the while. the breeze will be quite noticeable and eventually there is the risk of some rain through the early part of the evening. that rain will be creeping its way in from the south. and there will be some rain pushing into northern england for a time, as well. some of that will be on the heavy side. through the small hours of the morning it clears to the north sea, although it may well linger towards kent and sussex. and all the while some showers keep going across western scotland and northern ireland. but a drier swathe in between and by dawn on saturday many places around about or 13—14 degrees. most of those showers in the north—west are closest to this area of low pressure which will be a key features a lot of cloud ahead of that, but there should be some brighter weather in northern england and north wales, and all the while those showers keep going across western scotland and northern ireland. 17—18 degrees here, might get to 21—22 in the south—east. unsettled again on sunday. we've still got low pressure to the north—west of the uk, that's where the heaviest

showers are going to be. showers are slightly fewer and further between across the south—eastern corner, but there'll be one or two. top temperature around about 21—22 degrees. so, through the weekend, on the cool side, breezy too, a little bit of sunshine and also showers and some of those could be quite heavy. hello, this is breakfast, with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. increased safety concerns following the grenfell tower fire — dozens of tower blocks fail a new, more thorough, fire safety test. the bbc understands at least 60 buildings will be declared a risk later today. councils warn that the cost of making them safe will run into the tens of millions of pounds. good morning. it's friday, the 28th ofjuly. also this morning, links between how much you drink and developing type 2 diabetes, new research

suggests you're no better off being tee—total. good morning.
