we get loads of drama from the athletics, incredible, isn't it so, let's begin. with us is kulveer ranger, the director of digital public services for european it services company atos. let's start with the guardian, they describe trump under fire, he let's start with the guardian, they describe trump underfire, he didn't put the blame on the white supremacists that attended this particular rally. it hasn't and good morning to both of you. over the last couple of days as these events have unfolded in charlottesville, the tragedy is the president of the united states hasn't been clear enoughin united states hasn't been clear enough in his condemnation of the far right extremists and in fact he has had some ambiguous language around it which lot of people have latched onto on either side. when he used that phrase, challenges on

either side, on all used that phrase, challenges on eitherside, on allsides, people have taken that to say surely there's a side here, there's a side thatis there's a side here, there's a side that is the neo—nazi white extremist ku klux klan and then there is the people fighting against that horrible, disgracefulfeelings people fighting against that horrible, disgraceful feelings and rhetoric that shouldn't really be allowed to be supported in any way shape orform allowed to be supported in any way shape or form from the leader of... orgiving any ambiguity shape or form from the leader of... or giving any ambiguity about his views on it and that's led to all this concern. the demonstration was the largest of it's kind, but apart from that his language has been the problem. i looked at some of his tweets over the last 2a hours, despite the fact it reads like a hallmark card, it says best regards, he sent his condolences to the family ofa he sent his condolences to the family of a young lady who was killed there. trump seems to have a problem with communication, not the

directness of it, twitter, but how he gets his message across. the white house has since clarified, saying the president does condemn what went on and they have sought to respond to these criticisms. i wonder if it's all a bit after the event and too late? why does the white house need to clarify on behalf of a man who seems to have no problem at all putting out his view in 140 characters or less about what he feels? there in lies the problem that the white house is harry to clarify the president's view with something that should be very black and white. the president as i read here is on a 17 day working day vacation at his golf resort in bedminster so obviously he's got lots on his mind at the moment, apart from this thing that is tearing apart america tom and it can bea tearing apart america tom and it can be a moment that america has always bordered on —— tearing apart

america,. you need a strong president at these times and you need to not have the white house clarifying his view. it seems like there's a second spokesperson, ivanka trump is the person directly criticising rather than him. people have criticised her role as an aid to him but if she can bring reason and sense then we should applaud her at this point. to the financial times, brussels looking to tighten up times, brussels looking to tighten up the vetting of chinese takeovers of european companies. it's all very well and i can understand why they may want to do this but if it's the world's second largest economy you can't really say no to their money, can't really say no to their money, can you? there's been this ongoing challenge with the eu and interesting with the eu trying to re— exert itself as a force on the geopolitical world. after all the challenges it has with its own

navelgazing and then in the uk there's brexit and the challenges within the eu. what the eu should do is look at how europe plays a part with those global markets, with the us and the far east, india, china. there's been a number of concerns about chinese companies and also their close involvement with the state in china and how that reflects with their strategies and their drivers as they expand overseas. there's the balance between protectionism and the free market andi protectionism and the free market and i think that's the line the eu has to walk. it still has pushed back, number of countries in the eu, especially the nordic countries, portugal and spain, as we read in the fta, have always pushed back against too much control from the central eu about who they can and can't do business with so it's a fine line. the us is already doing it, they are looking after themselves already? it's the america first strategy, a bit protectionism about their home markets but in a

globalised world, a world where people want the best technology and where we want to have the cutting edge and the jobs and innovation, there's a balance that needs to be struck. talking about a globalised world, the times, we travel a lot, the arrest of drunken passengers up 50%, staggering! i've seen this story and i have a number of questions about it. unlike you find people i have to travel cattle class a lot these days. always at the back of the plane, made. airlines have treated us like cattle, getting us into these tiny spaces —— made. in an airport these days there are more bars and places where drinks can be had. you're stuck there for a lot longer and you have to be there for hours in advance. flying is quite stressed or nowadays. the amount of queues... i understand the security reasons but there's a lot of pressure on people travelling, i'm not excusing this, but what has to be looked at is which routes, which

airlines, which airports, because i get the feeling this might be a specific group. it does need to be looked at. we shouldn't have this kind of behaviour on airlines or in airports, especially in terms of putting people's lives at risk and just the common decency of it! i do see the other side of it, which is people are being treated like cattle and they are almost all to be there for hours in these heated, overcrowded airports waiting for flights. very diplomatic! panorama investigation, we will have to wait for that to see it. it will be interesting. looking at the new york times briefly, chilly looking to perhaps achieve 90% clean energy bill 2050. -- chile. if achieve 90% clean energy bill 2050. —— chile. if the world is looking to move away from diesel and petrol and two clean energy, this is fantastic —— clean energy by. —— and to.

two clean energy, this is fantastic -- clean energy by. -- and to. they are trying to utilise their national assets. they've always had hydroelectric power with the dams they have got. obviously with the volcanoes and mountain ranges and thermal springs, this labels them to have natural assets to leverage and they've been making the most of it —— enables. 45% of their power is currently clean, green energy and they're looking to get that to 90% by 2050. here's chile, south america and the rest of the world and here's donald trump, saying we're going to do that. they seem downbeat about what he's doing with the paris accord agreement and not looking at climate change. other companies picking up the pattern. we are going to have to sprint to the finish. that's the worst pun you will hear all week! usain bolt, what a sad end

to the career, and we might know why now. this is a bit of athlete tittle tattle, there's stories about athletes being in an air—conditioned room before the relay race were u nfortu nately room before the relay race were unfortunately the great usain bolt collapsed in a heap. i have to say this, we saw some great performances in the last ten days at the london stadium. the world championships, fantastic. a new era of athletes entered the stage and unfortunately the legends do have to exit at some point and exit with dignity. sir mervyn king farrakhan usain bolt and many others did a fantasticjob for a decade and now it's up to the others —— sir mo farah. thanks so much forjoining us! we will see you soon. goodbye. good morning. last week, the weather was pretty changeable, wasn't it? this week, it's more of the same i'm afraid. in fact, if we take a look back

at last week, parts of eastern england had over 60 millimetres of rain. that's pretty close to a month's worth in just a 36—hour period. and certainly the south—east has been the wettest of the weather. pretty much close to normal at the moment so far this august in scotland and northern ireland. in fact, last week we had some decent spells of sunshine in western scotland. on wednesday, as you can see, a beautiful weather watchers picture sent in, there was over 13.5 hours of sunshine and a high of 21 degrees in glasgow. but generally speaking last week the jetstream was to the south. so we were on the colder side of the jetstream and the more unsettled one for some. through the weekend, though, the jetstream moved steadily north. that allowed for decent spells of sunshine for many of us and also some warmth, particularly along the kent coast, with temperatures in the mid—20s. but it has all changed as we move through monday, with wet and windy weather pushing in. the heaviest of the rain

will always be across scotland through the morning. it'll be fairly ragged as it moves through wales and south—west england. but in the south—east, we keep the dry, sunny weather, and the warmth. 24 degrees not out of the question again in the london area, but that rain will pep up over south—west england and wales overnight. not too much in the south—east corner, but some rain to clear overnight on monday into tuesday. it will do so then we have a showery regime with these weather fronts sitting across the country. some of the showers will be potentially heavy and thundery as well. but if you dodge the showers, it won't feel too bad. we could see highs of 24 degrees. a little bit cooler and fresher with some showers to the north—west. a brief ridge of high pressure builds for us before a change is sitting in the wings waiting for us for wednesday. on the whole, wednesday looks

promising on the whole, particularly in sheltered eastern areas. eventually, winds will strengthen with the rain pushing on. so the south—east will see the highest values. out to the west, a little more disappointing. then from wednesday night into thursday, we will see wet and windy weather pushing across the country. gales on the exposed coast in particular. this week, starting with sun and warmth, but then heavy showers, but feeling cooler later on. hello. good morning. this is breakfast, with dan walker and louise minchin. a big rise in the number of people arrested for being drunk and disorderly on planes. a bbc investigation finds a 50% increase in passengers being held for incidents involving alcohol on flights and at airports. good morning.

it's monday the 14th of august. also this morning: a vigil is held to remember the woman killed during protests against a far right rally in the us. don't let
