welcome to our news review where we have a look at what is making the headlines around the world. we begin with the financial times which leads on the continuing plight of hundreds of thousands of rohingya muslims who have fled myanmar into neighbouring bangladesh. it comes as the un is due to release a report in geneva later, looking into alleged crimes by myanmar‘s security forces. the japan times leads with prime minister shinzo abe's plans to call a snap election as early as next month to take advantage of disorganised opposition parties. the paper also looks at the threat posed by north korea following the country's latest missile test over japan on friday. the times says uk police are continuing to question two men on suspicion of terror offences following friday's attack on a tube train in south—west london. the paper carries a cctv image of a man carrying a lidl supermarket bag 90 minutes before the bombing.

not that we can see that front—page. there is. there it is for us. yes. we can see the cctv image there that many of our viewers are questioning whether this was. the guardian looks at the criticism britain's foreign secretary boris johnson has been facing over a so—called misuse of figures on how much money could be made available for the national health service once britain leaves the european union. and finally with britain's health service under yes, that old chestnut is back. and finally with britain's health service under severe financial pressure, the daily telegraph says nhs chiefs have drawn up plans for hospitals to build spas and offerfacials and zumba dancing classes to encourage a more healthy lifestyle. and cannot be a bit of zumba.
5:47 am
and cannot be a bit of zumbali and cannot be a bit of zumba. i have never done it. have you? no, come on! werejoined by poor charles. good morning. iwould on! werejoined by poor charles. good morning. i would love to hear your suggestions. starting with the financial times, in many newspapers around the world focusing on this story. do you think it's sort of just popped up last month that it has been going on for years. absolutely. there are a huge number of rohingya refugees affected by this. some 400,000 have already crossed into bangladesh in recent years and now they are looking at another 400,000 who have crossed since the end of august when fighting broke out. fighting within myanmar security forces. is tragic state of affair and the leader of myanmar needs to make it very clear what the position is because it is
5:48 am
not yet clear. she is yet to clarify what she is going to do. look at that picture on the front. i know we are meant to be impartial journalists but you cannot be impartial when you have a woman with a newborn child, not that old, clinging to her, soaking wet with just a bit of sheeting to protect them from the elements. does not matter who is at fault or what is going on, who was to blame or whatever how can politicians, international community is ignore that? seemingly, that is all they have, that she'd over their head. you cannot ignore it and i think the un will take further action and aun san suu kyi is making a major speech in the next 24 hours. in the meantime, there is not enough aid getting three. this is the problem. how long does it take, the pictures like this do you need to seek was to murk it does make you angry. and the other issues highlighted in the
5:49 am
article by the financial times and the japan times is talking about where the refugees are going. the issueis where the refugees are going. the issue is that the countries they are leading to cannot cope with this. there is only so much they can do. this area where they are. japan times looks at the fact that there could be trying to go to india, nepal, the fact that they are very unwelcome in both of those countries. in india they are seen as a security risk. it seems wherever they go they are facing serious obstacles. it is not unique to this pa rt of obstacles. it is not unique to this part of the world, of course. it happens in europe, it happens in the americas. a problem that happens time and time again we use the huge movement of refugees that cannot be housed. how do you deal with them? bangladesh does not have an answer either. let's talk about the other story here in the japan times. their biggest story is shinzo abe calling
5:50 am
a snap general election, speculating that this is because of the opposition seems fragmented and we. as soon as i read that i thought ooh, where have i heard that before? theresa may had the same brilliant idea. well, not such a brilliant idea. well, not such a brilliant idea. it has landed her in a major hole. i wonder if shinzo abe is thinking about that. in japan, it is about the economy, it has shown signs of life recently and i think prime minister are they wants to ta ke prime minister are they wants to take advantage of this. this opposition is in disarray and this popularity has been growing. it seems like an appropriate time to make an impact. and what is interesting, he has been in power for a little while, this economics programme has had a chance to kick in. the economy is showing signs of life. but nothing revolutionary by any means. it is still struggling
5:51 am
and has issues to sort out. massive issues of deflation and concern over this election, this lame—duck period, the final years of this rule. i think he will wind but it is interesting. nothing like a little bit of political instability japan and in south korea when you have threat from north korea. the japan times also featuring the big question, actually, they are really focusing on this on the front page, why have not the us norjapan or nor any other country shut down these missiles from north korea? that would take the crisis to another level. they are reluctant to do that at this stage. they believe that the missiles that are being fired out are not posing a major threat, they are not posing a major threat, they are going into the sea. how do you know? what if the trajectory changes? i think they are reluctant to shoot it down at this stage. all, they are worried about missing it. that could happen. think the bigger
5:52 am
issue is that they fear it would ta ke issue is that they fear it would take to the ultimate level, actually, it would be retaliation. they do not wish to retaliate, they are still in the talking phase. although under international law you can shoot down a test missile of this is deemed a threat. obviously, it is not nuclear armed at this stage, so... the times, as do many other uk newspapers has an article about the suspect in the tube attack at parsons green. we are all breathing a sigh of relief that this was not a much bigger and more fatal story than it was. lucky that no-one was killed. and now the alert level has been downgraded in london from critical to severe. it is still not great, by any means. gives your take on the impact this is having on london. you work with many organisations who rely on tourism in london. londoners actually, is as
5:53 am
busy as it has been for many months. it does not appear to be having a major impact at this stage. but it is longer term, those who are planning visits to london for 2018 who may now be reconsidering. i think many people are initially put off but then they realise that it could be anywhere in the world where you face an attack at the moment. equally, the weaker pound is making london and the rest of the uk much cheaper to americans and europeans to visit. that is why numbers are rising. because the authorities act quickly and they have done very well in this case, i don't think it is putting off people, unless there is something more severe. and just come quickly, there is a lot of chatter about boris johnson and quickly, there is a lot of chatter about borisjohnson and this brexit ma nifesto about borisjohnson and this brexit manifesto and questions now about the muggy that the nhs will get, if ever. it looks like they may invested in zumba classes. yes, he thinks maybe this muggy will go into zumba classes at hospital but it
5:54 am
will be interesting to see if boris la st will be interesting to see if boris last a week. —— this muggy will go into zumba classes he is posing a threat and i think he is looking at a leadership challenge to theresa may. that is why he is ratcheting up the rhetoric. and he wanted to be leader in the first place, didn't he? he has not given up. it is a little bit house of cards. it was a pleasure to have you with us. thank you for watching. yet. have a lovely day, no matter what you do. after a weekend of sunny spells, and some heavy showers around too, there is going to be a bit of a change in the weather as we head through this week. after that fairly cool and showery start, a bit of rain mid—week, particularly in the west. but things will be warming up towards the end of the week, and turning a little bit drier later on.
5:55 am
so here is how things are looking at the moment. we've got an area of high pressure building in from the atlantic. low pressure sitting out to the east at the moment. so still a rather cool, northerly breeze with those two areas of high and low pressure. that breeze in the east is going to be bringing some showers across parts of eastern england, and perhaps central parts seeing some showers through the day. but it is quite a chilly start to monday morning, with the mist and some fog patches. a little bit murkier as you wake up in the morning. this is 9:00am. temperatures starting to rise as the sun coming through the hole in the cloud clears the mist and fog away, too. an isolated shower or two around coastal parts of wales, but mostly dry for parts of northern england, northern ireland scotland, too. but that northerly breeze will feel quite chilly towards the north and the east, and will bring the chance of one or two showers through the day. many parts of the country having a pretty decent day, though. once the mist and fog clear away, the sunshine should break through quite nicely. there will be a few showers cropping up almost anywhere, but i think it will be mostly
5:56 am
central and eastern parts of the country that you have a higher chance of catching a shower. whereas further west, particularly for northern ireland and for western scotland, you are likely to stay dry through the day. temperatures in most places about 15 to 18 degrees. just a little bit cooler with that breeze around eastern scotland and north—east england. moving through monday evening, then, we could see an area of slightly more persistent rain moving south across scotland, northern england, down towards the south—east by the end of the night. clearing skies behind that, so another chilly night ahead, with temperatures around about eight to ii in our towns and cities. but actually, in the countryside, it could be a little bit colder than that. low enough to see a touch of frost across scotland, northern england, northern ireland and wales, as well. after that, a chilly start to tuesday morning, and this ridge of high pressure building on. so tuesday is probably the best day of the week, in fact. lots of dry weather, the showers we have seen recently in the east should be easing away. so, with the light winds and the sunshine, a pleasant day to come on tuesday, with top temperatures still a little below
5:57 am
average for the time of year, around about 15 to 18 degrees. but, when you are in the shelter and the sunshine, that will be a bit pleasant. it will only be rainy in the far north—west late in the day. for wednesday and thursday, a bit of rain for some western parts of the country, but temperatures will be on the rise later in the week. bye now. hello, this is breakfast, with dan walker and steph mcgovern. a third property is searched by police investigating the london tube train attack. the shop in west london is where a 21—year—old man was arrested outside on saturday night. good morning, it is monday 18 september. also this morning:
