5:45 am
now it is time for our newspaper review. what's making headlines around the world 7 the japan times is running an article on its website about the second north korean missile in two weeks to be fired over the country. this comes following the introduction of tougher un sanctions. the new york times and news of a meeting between us president trump and key democrats which could see undocumented immigrant children, known as dreamers, protected by law if that legislation was paired with a massive border security upgrade. multiple time—delayed drugs could be given in a single injection — that's according to scientists quoted in an article on the guardian's website. the new technology could remove the need for boosterjabs as well. james murdoch, son of rupert, makes the front page of the financial times with his comment that regulatory approval of the fox—sky deal would be an "affirmation" of the uk's claim that the country is truly open for business
5:46 am
post—brexit. staying in the uk, the government's chief legal adviser has said that more must be done to make sure that social media doesn't put the right to a fair trial at risk. he's calling for an inquiry into whether extra reporting restrictions on court cases are needed. and finally, a cookery course might be just what the doctor ordered if you're struggling with diabetes or obesity. so let's begin. with me is funke abimbola mbe, senior lawyer and diversity leader. good to see you. good morning. let's start with north korea. we've been here before but this one seems to have gone a bit further and again the question comes up— what does eve ryo ne the question comes up— what does everyone do? the tests keep coming. last i was here this was a story and i expressed real concern that this could only go one way and would only escalate. you know, we have a leader
5:47 am
in north korea who doesn't feel accountable. he doesn't think that there are any implications, no comeback, ignoring un sanctions and againi comeback, ignoring un sanctions and again i have to say i can only see this going one way. i see this escalating even more, unfortunately. it's interesting as you say, we have been discussing this for a while, one dozen launches this year already, and it feels, the market, certainly, a big market reaction to an event like this but almost the markets are so accustomed to it, they've become used to this cycle of provocation, get your missile launch oi’ provocation, get your missile launch or bomb test and then debris diplomacy and some sanctions and they don't quite achieve what they are meeting to add another launch and the market reaction this morning was pretty limited. and it will happen increasingly because it becomes the norm. initially everyone panics and after a while it becomes normalised. and then it has to escalate even further for them to be more of a reaction. the trouble is
5:48 am
if escalation continues, it means conflict. but no one want that. so at some point i guess they will have to start talking. yes but to what extent can you negotiate with a leader who is not accountable. and he seems determined to develop nuclear weapons. he does, yes. maybe thatis nuclear weapons. he does, yes. maybe that is the only point when agreed —— negotiations will begin. that is the only point when agreed -- negotiations will begin. now, tom's support to protect dreamers lifts its chances and this is all about the dreamers law that was introduced by president obama to help the children who have been brought into the country undocumented and trump threatens their status but is now saying perhaps if he gets enhanced border security measures, he could support for measures to protect them. once again we have a thorny issue of immigration. again. how did you manage to control the flow of immigrants coming into the country
5:49 am
if you allow children to stay, doesn't mean that parents can stay? on this one, i can actually see both sides of the coin. i really welcome a more balanced approach. we have the same pattern where trump is very react if initially, tweeting and saying all sorts of things and eventually he thinks heydon, i may need to listen to voice the reason, —— hang on, mainly to listen to a voice of reason. will this be the wall? the democrats are saying they will not support it. we will see. often when we are looking through these stories, pretty much every day we are sort of surprised something that president trump does and republicans are also shocked by this because he is talking to the enemy, in their view, to come up with a deal. that in itself is pretty remarkable. it is telling but i guess that is why it is important to have accountancy in government, it is important to have a strong
5:50 am
opposition and i guess in a way this is how democracy is meant to work. ami is how democracy is meant to work. am i surprised by this? not really. it is so hard over in the us at the moment and lots of conservatism and those who support him are saying that they have a trade him. —— he has betrayed them. lots of them don't like the issue of giving these people citizenship and cannot bear the fact that he is sitting in a room with democrats. but he is so unpredictable that are really, as we said earlier, we are learning to expect anything now. it is knowing what angle is he doing to take this time. i'm not particularly surprised at the think anyone should be, frankly. a story in the guardian about multiple time to lay drugs which could be a huge leap forward in terms of vaccinations for children, the kelly in developing countries. it is a wonderful thing under all sorts of caveats that we do if it will develop what a
5:51 am
wonderful thing because you will not need roosters. it can be used to treat cancer patients who need multiple injections, multiple doses, at different times. i suppose playing devils advocate, all human bodies are different so how can you absolutely guarantee that these polymers will release and biodegrade at the same time for everyone, for example, because the whole technology hinges on that. it's the only element of this i don't know. but described it as a tiny little ice cube tray with all the little vaccines and they use different polymers to seal the different tops of the ice cubes and they disintegrate at different time periods. when they released the drugs over a week, ten days, three weeks... it is very exciting though if it does come to be, it could be wonderful. and good for anyone with children, due both have children, those trips to the dock is to have the vaccination. it is not fun, is it? it is more likely to be men
5:52 am
needing the treat afterwards. it? it is more likely to be men needing the treat afterwardslj don't needing the treat afterwards.” don't like injections! let's talk about fox and sky, what is james murdoch saying and i wonder how is it different to his father? he is being quite manipulative. james, it isa being quite manipulative. james, it is a bit ofa being quite manipulative. james, it is a bit of a stretch to say it had to have anything to do with brexit. he is claiming that it would be good to allow the deal through because it shows that britain is open for business. hang on a second, you are only saying that because you are being challenged on competition grounds. that is causing delayed to the approval of the deal. i cannot see how this is anything to do with brexit and it has everything to do withjames murdoch brexit and it has everything to do with james murdoch wanting this deal to go through. using a very thought of emotive issue at the moment with politicians. he is, and he knows that he mentioned anything to do with brexit that people will listen. right? again, it may work. well, it
5:53 am
may work. the government is desperate to show that business can still be done. he is saying it is a com pletely still be done. he is saying it is a completely different issue. still be done. he is saying it is a completely different issuem still be done. he is saying it is a completely different issue. it is com pletely completely different issue. it is completely different. the daily telegraph, courts must social reform tackle social media risk to trials. ten yea rs tackle social media risk to trials. ten years ago you get a jury in on a trial and you could safely assume they may know very little about the case and these days, with facebook feeds and peoples access to news, the chance of getting a jury who are coming with a clean slate with no pre— judgement must be tough. coming with a clean slate with no pre- judgement must be toughm coming with a clean slate with no pre- judgement must be tough. it is and it is reassuring that the attorney—general has been vocal on this issue because i think for too long, it's not really been called out for being a serious issue that it is. the fact is the race much more information out there now and the reality is there is no way of controlling how or what is read or
5:54 am
post at controlling how or what is read or post et cetera. you can sort of given guidelines on what to not post that you cannot control what they read and can of course affects their judgement. and we are all sort of made to go but the media —— made to go to media control courses we understand that these people have not. they don't have that responsibility in that sense but should they now? we are out of time. thank you very much indeed, nice to see you. that's all from us. have a good weekend. goodbye. hello there. our weather has taken on a decidedly cool and, dare i say it, quite autumnal feel. as we head on through friday, it will remain cool, after quite a chilly start, and we will see a mixture of sunshine and showers.
5:55 am
showers from the word go across northern england, into wales and the south—west. these gradually drifting further south and east, and as the showers arrive in east anglia and south—east england, they will turn very heavy indeed, with some hail and some thunder. all the while, showers keep going across northern ireland and a good part of scotland. so let's take a closer look, then, at ii:oopm in the afternoon. a mixture of sunny spells and hefty showers to the south—west of england. 15 degrees there in plymouth. could get to 16 in southampton, in the dry spells. but bear in mind, as the showers drift through, the temperatures will drop away by a good few degrees. maybe just 12 or 13 degrees in some of the showers across the south—east and east anglia — very heavy, with hail and thunder. a mixture of sunshine and showers for northern england. quite a few showers across north—east scotland, a fair old breeze blowing here, as well. but south—west scotland a better chance of seeing more in the way of dry weather, and some spells of sunshine. sunny spells and hefty downpours for northern ireland, and a similar story for wales, and particularly close to the west coast it will be fairly windy. now, as we go on through friday
5:56 am
night, many of the showers will fade away. but some will continue, most likely across north—east england, into wales, the south—west, some showers continue across north—east scotland, as well. many other places will turn dry, with some clear spells. maybe the odd mist patch, and temperatures easily down to eight, nine, or 10 degrees, but some spots in the countryside cold enough for a touch of grass frost. so we begin the weekend between this area of low pressure to the east and this area of high pressure trying to push in from the west. it leaves us with a northerly wind — never a warm wind direction. yes, there will be some spells of sunshine, but again, some showers, some of them heavy, and those temperatures around 13 degrees for aberdeen and glasgow. 12 in belfast, maybe 15 for cardiff, and 16 for london. but as we go through saturday night, as the showers fade, we see clear skies and light winds, it is going to turn very chilly indeed. our towns and cities perhaps down into single digits. but, out in the countryside, particularly out west, we're looking at lows of one, two, three degrees. there could well be a touch of grass frost to start sunday morning, but sunday should see some improvements, certainly in terms of the showers.
5:57 am
fewer showers, more dry weather, more sunshine. 15 to 18 degrees. and that is the story for the weekend. the showers, slowly but surely, will ease. there will be some sunny spells, but the nights will be decidedly chilly. hello, this is breakfast, with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. north korea fires another ballistic missile over japan, higher and further than previous tests, the second in three weeks. japanese residents were advised to take cover as warning sirens were sounded over the north of the country. good morning, it's friday the 15th of september. also this morning: the end of one of nasa's most daring
