by billionaire businessman and former new york city mayor, michael bloomberg who says the uk's departure from the eu would likely slow down london's economic growth but said the capital would "be the financial centre of europe for the foreseeable future". meanwhile the guardian has a more ominous take on brexit‘s impact on london reporting european cities paris are hoping to cash in on brexit, by attracting up to ten thousands jobs to the french capital. and finally buzzfeed covers the uproar among young people online reacting to comments by a uk estate agent who said millennial couples priced off the housing ladder could save enough for a deposit in five years by giving up "luxuries" such as buying sandwiches, upgrading their phones or going on overseas mini—breaks. with me is lawrence gosling who's editor—in—chief of investment week. we are straight onto the story that really only happened a few hours

ago, same—sex marriage is coming to australia. this seems to be part of a general global trend. experience of australia, the vote was very strong. also, the participation, 79% of australians, as you've seen, this is not a marginal issue, a big chunk of the population agrees with it. it's quite —— it quite is nice when there is a voluntary vote figure like that. they have compulsory elections. there is a statistician at the website quotes. this was talked about as being a key issue. in general referendum, getting people out to vote is a challenge. this is clearly hit a real wave in australia. interestingly, the northern territory, only 58% of people responded. and the ras still going to be lots of issues, aren't

there? this is not absolutely cut and dry, black and white. it's the modern world, let's get on with it. it's got to get through the australian parliament. while the people are in favour, the politicians will bog this down in legislation although the prime minister said he will get it into law before christmas, six weeks. that will be interesting. clearly, thatis that will be interesting. clearly, that is what the people now expect. let's move on. we've got a bit of a double or triple whammy. i dare not say this to the audience. we do get a lot of brexit. the guardian is reporting on the extent and how they did it. the guardian has dug into it. part of a wider commons

investigation. they have found the university of edinburgh, it found not a huge number but quite significant fake tweets. around the terrorism which is a london this year, stirring up anti—muslim feeling on websites that pop up with newspapers where people would suggest part of the audience would believe that kind of thing. it shows you quite how simple it is to create fa ke you quite how simple it is to create fake news. these are things that are often repeated. and simple enough about reporting things like a us navy veteran, tennessee republican, is that easy. that quoted supposed eyewitnesses to one of those terrorism outrages, suggesting was that women ignored some of the victims. there is not the level of

credibility and backup that the bbc are other news organisations would use. are other news organisations would use. these are posted. they then get repeated and suddenly, they are fa cts . repeated and suddenly, they are facts. theresa may being quoted here from what she said on monday russia threatening the international order on which we all depend. the last few minutes, the russian foreign ministry basically saving this is nonsense. it is coming because there is so much tension and pressure about brexit, looking for escape valves almost and this can only cause regrets. this is coming from something called the internet research agency, a russian organisation. sounds like a credible body. it does raise the pressure on the tech companies to tell us more, what you really know. you're going to see the pressure build—up again.

equally, some of the new sites. they will probably have some questions to answer. this issue is going to be with us well beyond that brexit moment. quoting michael bloomberg, the former mayor of new york, a very rich man, is also opened a big office here in london which seems like a vote of confidence. i suppose you can decide which way you want to take. there are two things that make me smile. london will remain the financial capital. there are many would argue that london is the globalfinancial would argue that london is the global financial capital. he does have a very large of this year. this is quite clear. mr bloomberg makes the point well. it is the english—speaking nature of london.

english—speaking nature of london. english is the global business language. that hasn't changed. it won't change —— is one change. you are beginning to see one of two companies moving out. we will talk about paris in a minute. he says english obviously, they are friendly, cosmopolitan, but when it comes down to the nuts and bolts of money, but its frankfurt, fine. is paris, fine. it doesn't seem to be a brilliant argument. there is lots to be said for the quality of life in london and that's not to denigrate paris or any other city but a lot of people who work in the city would say, i'd rather work in london and frankfurt, for example. actually looking at it from the perspective of the frog. are we allowed to say that? they say that, come over and

join the frogs. up to 10,000 jobs by 2019. basically, by the time we get to brexit, they think they can pull over 10,000 cityjobs? interestingly, only around 2500 have moved over and as this article points out, the french are also targeting asian businesses looking to set up in europe. whichever sto i ca lly to set up in europe. whichever stoically come to london. we are seeing a bit more of some of the asian, including the chinese institutions, looking at paris and potentially frankfurt as well. this may not be all london jobs moving over but actually, in the scheme of things, 10,000 is significant but not that significant, i would suggest, if you are a big investment bank. you have a lot of people working. also, you've mentioned frankfurt. the head of goldman sacks was saying, coming here a lot more. that is the big competitor, isn't it? it potentially is.

geographically, where frankfurters, the infrastructure as a financial centre is probably stronger in frankfurt and has been stronger than paris has. the last story the day. it is the question of the day. something that buzzfeed has picked up. millennial ‘s goodbye a house if they stopped buying sandwiches and people are mad. they are supposedly sure is. according to the calculations, millennial people are spending thousands of dollars a day on sandwiches. they go out too often. and they go on too many mini breaks. they upgrade their phones. it's interesting, the deposit for a house in london and £94,000. as

pa rents, house in london and £94,000. as parents, we are going to contribute that. we are meant to be coughing up, we should also be disgruntled. we have had quite a good response. here is one. my wife and i, along with our daughter managed to go from homeless accommodation to a mess of a house with no hot water and we eventually bought a semi—detached at the age of 26, we just made small cutbacks to save up and work hard. it's a good point. if you actually wa nt it's a good point. if you actually want a house and you have a reasonable job, if you work hard enough, you can say for it. people have become used to belittle fripperies life. we don't get out enough, no, we don't. hi there. for many of us, wednesday is going to dawn on a pretty grey and cloudy day. competing weather stories, really, for wednesday.

we've got a big ridge of high pressure keeping the weather quiet across much of the uk, however a small area of low pressure has just trickled underneath the high and has brought us a lot of cloud across england, thick enough to bring us some outbreaks of patchy rain and drizzle particularly across eastern england first thing in the morning. elsewhere, a few fog patches up over high ground, notably across the higher parts of wales and south—west england so one way or another, for many of us, it's going to be quite a cloudy start but at least that early morning patchy rain across eastern england will be clearing out of the way. so with a bit more detail, the morning forecast — a bit grey over the tops of the brecon beacons, the moors of south—west england with some hill fog patches here. could have a bit of fog over the salisbury plain, perhaps a bit misty for the downs and the chilterns first thing, otherwise we'll have this thick cloud continuing to bring some patchy outbreaks of rain just for the first part of the morning. but that rain will clear away pretty quickly. a few fog patches in the valleys of northern ireland where it's going to be a chilly start to the day.

some sunshine for scotland, yes, but it's cold — temperatures low enough for a touch of frost across sheltered northern areas. as we go on through the rest of wednesday, that rain should clear out of the way but it will stay cloudy across the midlands and eastern england for most of the day. the weather brightens up for north—west england and wales with some sunny spells here but no doubt about it, the best of the sunshine will be across scotland, particularly eastern areas. rain, though, threatening the western isles as we go on through the afternoon. wednesday evening and overnight, rain becoming a bit more extensive across western areas. always rather patchy in nature nevertheless, but nevertheless, some damp weather pushes its way in. this is the cold front reaching scotland and northern ireland, bringing further heavier rain towards the end of the night. turning wet here. looking at the weather charts through thursday, this cold front will be sliding its way southwards across england, bringing a spell of heavy rain. round about lunchtime across northern england, heading into the midlands and across wales too. to the south of this, a lot of cloud. behind the front, that's where we're going to see a big clearance. much more in the way sunshine moving into northern ireland,

scotland and the north of england. it might be sunny, yes, but it's also colder. notice the temperatures into single figures. for friday, many of us having a decent day, bright with sunny spells however there'll be a number of blustery showers affecting the far north of scotland. those showers could merge together and at times, there will be quite a chilly wind, particularly on saturday, the wind falling a bit lighter by sunday. and that's your latest weather. hello, this is breakfast, with dan walker and louise minchin. gunfire and explosions on the streets of zimbabwe, but the military deny they have staged a coup. soldiers have taken over the state television building, and in a broadcast, they said president robert mugabe is safe. good morning, it is

wednesday 15 november. also this morning: borisjohnson is to meet the husband of a british woman being held in an iranianjail, after the foreign secretary was accused of making her situation worse. a warning that millions of lives in yemen are at risk, as the united nations says the situation is getting worse.
