an australian—run detention centre in papua new guinea just hours before it is due to close. facebook, twitter and google are set to face some tough questions from congress in washington about their role in last year's us election. also, our economics editor has written about the bank of england's latest warning about exitjob losses. the concern is the bbc has learnt is that this is the bank telling financial organisations to prepare a worst—case scenario, no trade deal operating world trade organisation levels. more detail on oui’ organisation levels. more detail on our website. now, it is time look at the stories that are making the headlines in media across the world. we begin with the washington post and the first charges brought by the official inquiry into allegations of russian meddling in last year's

us presidential election. they include president trump's former campaign manager, paul manafort, and former policy adviosor george papadopoulos. next, we have the telegraph and uk prime minister theresa may who is under pressure to open a comprehensive investigation into sexual harassment in parliament after two former female members of staff left due to inappropriate behaviour. you can see kevin spacey there as well. he is on many front pages as well. the abc news website looks at the recent stormy weather and flooding that's affected many parts of europe, leaving homes without electricity, causing widespread travel chaos across much of the continent. we turn to the guardian and comments made by goldman sachs boss lloyd blankfein who tweeted an aerial shot of the investment bank's new headquarters in london with the words, "expecting, hoping to fill it up, but so much outside of our control, #brexit." and then finally, japanese paper

the main—ichi has an article on its webpage about a japanese firm which is offering non—smoking workers an extra six days paid leave to make up for their colleagues‘ cigarette breaks! so let's begin. with me is inga beale who is ceo of lloyd's of london, a specialist company in the insurance and reinsurance market. nice to see you again. let's start with this story in the washington post, our lead story. three former trumpet campaign officials charged by special counsel. washington post as it take on this story. give us your thoughts on this, and to what extent it is hampering the trump administration from getting things done. this investigation if ongoing. i think the investigation should be

taking place because we have some questions to ask, all of society almost, about the use of social media for news. i will not comment specifically on this campaign, but i can give you an example which surprised me. i have reverse mentors at work, so i engage with the newcomers to the business world. we have an earthquake in new zealand at the end of last year, north of christchurch, my reverse mental at the time was from new zealand. he said, i keep up—to—date with all of that happening around the earthquake, i know how much it will cost, and i said where'd you get that news from? and he said, i get it from facebook. here we are, running a big insurance market, we would never dream of going to somewhere like facebook to get the latest estimates on the tragic event. this is what the millennials do. and this is the real concern in terms of what happened in the run—up to the us election and this is why

it facebook, google and twitter will be grilled about this. most people are saying that they do not trust social media as a source. on social media, there is the re— tweeting more sharing of valid news sources like us, for example, other news sources are there. it is difficult for millennials to decide what is credible and what is not. and i had this amazing trust in some of these names that they know. if you think about some of those names out there, they trust them. that it necessarily trust establishment, though necessarily trust the old names that we would trust. i always thought bbc news and i would say that, i'm sitting here. that is where i went. other people will not be going there. they will go to news sources may see the trust in some of these news sources that we would never imagine. this is why i'm pleased that there is going to be an investigation and looking into how

these firms perceived, will be social media firms, are the publishers, news channels, should they have the same controls as other traditional news channels that we are used to? i want to mention peter, you sent us a tweet. higher shim they are factual. he has mentioned bbc. others say, i don't trust them if they cannot be bothered to send out a reporter. nowadays this is a media is sending the same pictures. that is sending the same pictures. that is an issue of resources. i will not go into that. we haven't got time. the daily telegraph, this is everywhere. kevin spacey is on many pages. reporting on his apology about an event that he said he wasn't sure if it happened or not, but he was apologising anyway. but what is going on in westminster and the pressure on the prime minister to enable any allegations of sexual

misconduct to come to the fore and big up with properly. in your industry and your career, what have you experienced? i would have said when i started in the 80s, things went on but i wouldn't at that time have thought we re wouldn't at that time have thought were untoward because that was the culture. i do remember a specific incident where a young woman, younger than me in the office, she came to speak to me, i was in her manager, she said, i think i been sexually harassed by one of the male managers. but look into a room, i was very concerned. i said, to you wa nt to was very concerned. i said, to you want to report this? she said no. she was so nervous about making an official complaint, she just said she wanted to talk to me, to feel that she was in the guilty party. this is what people in power can make people less influential, more junior than them, they can make them feel guilty, as if it is their fault. she came to me. she didn't

wa nt to ta ke fault. she came to me. she didn't want to take any further action. i'm not surprised that a lot of these incidents now are coming out, you feel that you have got the support of others because more and more people are talking about it. it is almost as if we need to do this cleansing, and i suggest that eve ryo ne cleansing, and i suggest that everyone should come out right now. you think this is going to be the real change, because we have seen this situation come to the fore over the years. it would seem this situation with harvey weinstein, the fa ct situation with harvey weinstein, the fact it is coming out in many industries in places like politics. will this be the final change we are looking for? ido looking for? i do think it will be the final one, but there are lots of moving parts around this. vertically when we think about how come we get equality into the work place. i was very proud ofjailing the deer who spoke to the treasury select committee about how she has been trying to drive gender equality into financial services in the uk. and she still

spoke about, we have a lot of work to do, but the more we get back into the workplace, embedded, i think the more we will see, less and less of these actions in the future. we will skip over the floods, because i will talk to that went your earnings come out. i'm hoping your earnings come out. i'm hoping you will come on my programme. i will grill you about the impact of the catastrophic weather there. this talk about the comments of goldman and he has a picture of his huge building in the city of london under construction. can i fill it? helpful or not? i view this building from my office in the city, so i can see, and i have been watching it going up. the interesting thing is it does feel as though there are some empty office blocks. when i started in the 80s, right by the lloyd's building in the city, that building is now a demolished. that is where i started. it isa

demolished. that is where i started. it is a lovely skyscraper being constructed, beautiful, the most beautiful building. it is not full. they can't find the tenants to fill it. this is actually the reality. there is all this construction going on, buti there is all this construction going on, but i sense that right now there isa on, but i sense that right now there is a bit of uncertainty. people are not necessarily making those big bets around should they invest and have their office there? it has been such a pleasure to have you programme. thank you for your contribution as well to the big debate that's been on the briefing this morning. we will see very soon. you canjoin this morning. we will see very soon. you can join the this morning. we will see very soon. you canjoin the breakfast this morning. we will see very soon. you can join the breakfast team this morning. we will see very soon. you canjoin the breakfast team in five minutes. see you soon. hello there. for many of us, the weather is on the turn and it is turning that bit milder.

we look at the temperatures we had at tulloch bridge on monday morning, down at —5, but this morning, 10 celsius. a is—degree rise. cloud and rain around, but it's that cloudy weather bringing in mild conditions across much of the country. the rain will be at its heaviest across western scotland, a bit more patchy across the east. a little misty over the high ground, but no desperate problems with visibility. just a little misty over the top of the hills. further southwards across northern wales, partly cloudy with a few showers. some brighter spells to start the day across southern counties of england. maybe an odd isolated shower for east anglia and the south—east. that will clear away quickly in the morning so what we are left with is some bright weather across southern areas. these south—westerly winds bringing in mild conditions but we could potentially see a spell of rain for a time during the afternoon affecting parts of wales and then moving on into parts of north—west england. always the wettest weather will be actually across western scotland. it should stay dry for most of the day across much of the midlands, southern england and the far south of wales.

temperatures up to 14 degrees or so. a spooky night coming up for trick and treaters. bits of rain across the north—west and quite wet for western scotland as well. clearer spells further south. temperature—wise overnight, we are looking at lows between 8 and 11 degrees celsius. this weather front is going to become very slow moving across western scotland with the rain building up in those western hills as we go on through the day on wednesday. that weather front really moves nowhere fast. for most of the uk, again, these mild south, south—westerly winds wafting in across the country so it will be a mild day. temperatures reaching 12—15 degrees, turning a little cooler and fresher perhaps across the far north—west of scotland. we have some cooler air moving southwards as we go through wednesday night and into thursday behind this cold front. we should start to see some brighter spells working in, possibly the best across eastern scotland and parts of northern england. quite a bit of cloud further south,

bits and pieces of light rain and drizzle around western coasts. towards the end of the week, we will see the return of some cooler air coming back across the uk. that said, on friday, we'll have a reasonably quiet weather day with a little bit of rain moving southwards. for the start of the weekend, we will probably have a spell of heavy rain for a time in england and then some showers following through the north—west. hello, this is breakfast, with louise minchin and charlie stayt. a brexit warning from the bank of england. it's predicting as many as 75,000 financial services jobs could be lost if britain leaves the eu without a new trade deal. good morning, it's tuesday 31st october. the defence secretary sir michael fallon says he apologised

to a journalist after putting his hand on her knee when they had dinner together. facebook reveals that more than 100 million americans may have seen content uploaded by fake accounts with links to russia, around the time of the us election.
