who said any post—brexit deal will hinge on the uk scrapping rules set by brussels, including regulations governing the imports of chlorinated chicken. the arab news looks forward to wednesday, and the opening of the louvre in abu dhabi. more than a decade in the making, it will be the first foreign branch of the parisian landmark museum, and will house a permanent collection of more than 600 artworks from across the world. and finally, in the daily telegraph print edition, parents in the uk have been told to get a grip and stop keeping their children off school simply because they have a cold or a cough. east sussex council say the new campaign comes as unauthorised absences continue to spiral. so let's begin. with me isjustin urquhart—stewart, who is director at seven investment management. too complicated. what would donald

trump had to say about you, i wonder? we look at what the south china morning post is saying about him with regard to his performance, ifi him with regard to his performance, if i can use that word, injapan. very ha rd—hitting stuff if i can use that word, injapan. very hard—hitting stuff with regard to north korea. it is, and the same types of terminology coming up from trump. now that he is there, will north korea reacts? release and offer missile, and if that is the case, will hebe seemed to take action straightaway? and what the chinese are trying to do, has come it all down. —— will he be seen to ta ke it all down. —— will he be seen to take action? they need the north korean regime controlled as well in south korea. they equally don't want it starting a global war. and obviously we will get the perspective from seoul, in south
5:47 am
korea, and the beijing perspective. one of the intriguing aspects of donald trump's approach to north korea was to tie it immediately to selling military kit to japan as well. it was almost more important. and you will hear exactly the same coming out of south korea as well. he needs to focus on trade, because thatis he needs to focus on trade, because that is something he can try and force an agreement on. he can't get anything through taxation at the moment. in terms of actually controlling north korea, he can't do very much, but if he can come back with a few trade deals he can say this was a success. the message from the south china morning post seemed to be yes, warm words, but they are not nudging at the moment. and america needs them as well. so yes, there is a huge trade imbalance, but america has benefited from this. if they are observing that relationship with japan, it is not a very clever move. looking at matters closer to home, wilbur ross,, secretary for

the us, happens to be in the uk at the us, happens to be in the uk at the moment and was speaking at length yesterday. this is about who will be in charge of these brexit talks. is it the eu, is it the uk? and his message is clear enough. if you want to deal with us, you had better ta ke you want to deal with us, you had better take charge. and interestingly, you see these stories in the telegraph as well, saying don't let them control brexit. you will have to scrap all your eu rules if you want to deal with us. the wary. america does not do many trade deals, they do rules whereby it is oui’ deals, they do rules whereby it is our rules or nothing. the idea we can have a special trade relationship with america i think is for the birds. it is interesting he makes the point about... we live in the eu, which is the land of the single market for us. it doesn't matter where you go, you are all trading on the same deals. he says it looks great but it is
5:49 am
protectionist. and for anyone outside the eu, especially fewer sitting in africa and look at the eu, this is a huge, great tariff wall, which looks like a fortress. that is what it was designed to do. create a free market inside. what they need to do is start reaching better agreements elsewhere, but it is taking a very long time to do so. it is trying to do so with india, that has taken over 20 years. and to do so with china will take a long time. but it will do a deal probably faster with china than the uk will be able to do on its own. we all love that cause celebre, is chlorinated chicken out cause celebre? both papers have picked up on it —— our cause celeb. —— celebre. i suspect we clean our chicken and all sorts of dubious chemicals as well, but nonetheless it sounds dreadful. the american
5:50 am
meat manufacturers have a nasty habit, especially beef, of putting all sorts of strange things into it which are not legal in the eu. well, michael gove has said forget it, it is not happening. wilbur ross's message is you are ignoring the science, look at the science. it sounds quite funny, it is a small niche market, i suppose, sounds quite funny, it is a small niche market, isuppose, but sounds quite funny, it is a small niche market, i suppose, but it will bea niche market, i suppose, but it will be a serious issue. and if that is just chicken, think of all the other variations as well. the trade deal with america is a complicated issue and it is a rather one—sided argument. even if he says it can be done very quickly, it will not be. 3—on—2 or complicated issue than chlorinated chicken, the idea of the louvre in abu dhabi. it will catch a lot of people by surprise. louvre in abu dhabi. it will catch a lot of people by surpriselj louvre in abu dhabi. it will catch a lot of people by surprise. i had forgotten about it completely, but it must have been coming for about a decade. good news for abu dhabi, finding some culture to go and see in abu dhabi. it will be interesting
5:51 am
what they put there and whether it will be a rotation coming out of the louvre in france. this is what the uae has to be able to do, find other reasons to be able to go there. what you have actually seen, was notjust abu dhabi, but their neighbours as well, it is seen as a nice place to go to for a break, for a holiday, but it is not seen as wildly cultural, so why would you go? and they are prepared to spend a lot of money recreating the image, aren't they? i saw the figures running over $1 billion deal with france, to be able to use the louvre name has cost them a fortune. absolutely, and they have got the money to do so. and they have got to invest in their future, and this is the problem with uae. certain parts of some of the other emirates have their oil running out, they are having to invest in their future. dubai has had that issue. uae is not quite in that situation yet but developing for their future, that situation yet but developing for theirfuture, making that situation yet but developing for their future, making sure you area hub
5:52 am
for their future, making sure you are a hub where people want to go to two, that will be very important. there seems to be a picture being painted where it will notjust be the louvre, they will have a guggenheim, viz, that and the other. the message from the guggenheim was they haven't got an arrangement yet. merely having a racetrack and the louvre is not it. if you can have yourself as a cultural regional centre, that will be important and it changes the sort of people you are getting there, going back, and it changes the style, and i think thatis it changes the style, and i think that is very important. and has that started, do you think? over the course of the last decade, it is still not a tourist destination. course of the last decade, it is still not a tourist destinationm is hot and sandy, as we know. are you actually going to go there for your holiday? you would probably go to something like oman, because they have a broader range. they need other reasons to be going to abu dhabi, and that with other developments may be the start of it.
5:53 am
and we are heading in the winter so eve ryo ne and we are heading in the winter so everyone has a sniff or a cough or a cold. east sussex council putting this on buses, saying get a grip, stop being soft on your kids if they have got a call for a cold. send them into school anyway, because of absenteeism. what do you think? well, frankly, if a —— as a parent, ifa well, frankly, if a —— as a parent, if a child has a cold i am happy if they do go, and don't give it to me! you don't want them to give the whole school a bad cold, but frankly nursemaid in people in this situation, everybody gets a cold, you still have to go to school. hardluck, live with it. —— nursemaiding. are we in a slightly different culture, we are a little older? i suppose the situations when we would say buckle up, chaps, get on with it. time to be a little bit harder. it is a bit like this issue in terms of people taking more risks, risky sports and things like
5:54 am
that. i appreciate no one had health and safety when we were growing up but i think possibly a little bit more toughness would go a long way. all right, you heard it from justin. and it is the question we are asking on the briefing today. your children may well be saying to you, are you going to keep them from school or send them in. thanks for watching the briefing. from me and the rest of the team, goodbye. it would be very good to hear what you think of the stories we have been bringing you, not least from the fine gentleman beside me, and stay with us on the bbc. well, there's been a change in the weather, and tuesday morning is going to be frost—free across the uk. monday was so cold. let's have a look at those temperatures again. we had values down to around
5:55 am
minus six degrees in one or two areas, and even in oxford there around minus four. tuesday morning, some six to perhaps 10 degrees higher, and the reason for it is this weatherfront that's moving in. it's drawing up some milder air. it's not necessarily going to feel all that warm during the daytime, with this cloud over us, but at least the night is nowhere near as frosty, so many of us will not have to scrape the car windows early on tuesday morning. this is the weather front by the end of the night, so you can see across scotland, just about fringing western parts of wales there, into the south—west. and those temperatures, as we've established already, a lot higher. ten degrees in cardiff, and around five to ten degrees, for most of us that is. so here's the morning, then, on tuesday. and across scotland, around six degrees there in glasgow, with some rain. so this is where the weather front is. it's just about flirting with the lake district, lancashire, moving into the llyn peninsula, pembrokeshire there, into cornwall, as well, maybe nudging into devon. but, at this point in time, we've just got a few spots of rain for central, southern england
5:56 am
and the west midlands, and if anything, anywhere say from sunderland down to norwich and brighton will have some sunshine first thing in the morning. but it's not going to last for very long, because this cloud and rain and the wind will push further eastwards. so for many of us it will start raining, for a time at least, in the afternoon, and with that, the winds will be pretty strong too. so it's not going to feel warm at all. look at that — eight degrees in yorkshire, maybe around 11 degrees in london, but a lot better across the north—west of the country. this is where that fresher, clearer atlantic air‘s coming in. now, watch what happens tuesday night into wednesday, so this is the following night we're talking about now. so tuesday night the weather front edges a little bit further towards the east, and then early hours of wednesday morning, the skies clear once again. so wednesday morning across the uk, once again, will be frosty. so we had a frosty monday morning, tuesday morning is going to be mild, and then wednesday morning is going to be frosty again. so here's a look at wednesday, this little ridge of high pressure. might be just about frost—free across east anglia and
5:57 am
the south—east, because we have a little bit more cloud and some spots of rain. but a bright, sunny, crisp sort of day on the way, before more cloud and rain sweeps into northern areas, and with that, the winds will start strengthening as well. and i think wednesday and into thursday, particularly across northern areas, it'll be windy, with on—and—off rain. bye— bye. hello, this is breakfast, with louise minchin and dan walker. donald trump arrives in south korea ahead of talks about north korea's nuclear programme. the us president says he'll work with south korea on a strategy to deal with pyongyang but there are likely to be significant differences of opinion. good morning, it's tuesday the 7th of november. also this morning: the husband of a british woman in prison in iran asks borisjohnson to clarify comments he made to mps about her case that he says
