a worrying health report, the lead story for the daily telegraph here in the uk. the sun covers calls by its owner rupert murdoch that facebook should pay to feature news stories. he says reports from established media outlets are increasing facebook‘s value. the times with a holiday horror story. japanese tourists who were charged more than $1300 for a meal in venice, but what happened when they called the police? the los angeles times covers a story on its own doorstep. minnie mouse finally gets a star on the hollywood walk of fame, the paper points out it's a0 years after micky. so let's begin. with me is jane foley, senior fx strategist for rabo bank. welcome to you, thank you very much for coming in. we're starting with the guardian and is warning that it is just the guardian and is warning that it isjust a the guardian and is warning that it is just a matter of time before the uk suffers a major cyber attack. it is more details this. this is exactly what they are saying, it is a matter of when, not if. if you will recall, in 2017, we already had a cyber attack, that was wannacry.
5:46 am
it shut down many services of the nhs, it is quite interesting with regard to this issue because just a few years ago, it was considered that people would perhaps putting these types of viruses to computers for ransoms and if you then paid out, they would stop it. it was expected that bitcoin would perhaps feel that because it was expected to be more difficult to trace where the money was going, but now it seems that it has been linked potentially to possibly wanting to do these attacks, it has become a little different in its theme. it is almost a type of warfare, i guess is what they are suggesting. they almost suggesting they cannot do anything about it, being prewarned is the best that you can do. well, exactly. the nhs wannacry one this year, they found it quite straightforward piece of software and then were able to buy out the domain and put a stop to
5:47 am
it. but clearly, again, apart from focusing on efforts to help with security, it is quite difficult to prevent. 0k, security, it is quite difficult to prevent. ok, let's have a look at this story in the south china morning post, the business pages. this is about an unmanned store, yesterday we were talking about amazon's unmanned store that kind of august under the radar, we chat in shanghai have opened their store, they have seen 30,000 visitors. it is just they have seen 30,000 visitors. it isjust a they have seen 30,000 visitors. it is just a pop—up stores well. they have seen 30,000 visitors. it isjust a pop-up stores well. they have seen 30,000 visitors, a lot more visitors than amazon. what is even more under the radar is that in fa ct, even more under the radar is that in fact, this is the first one in china. they already have 200 stores and have already seen 2 million transactions, other chinese companies are considering doing it, there are already in china a lot more of these stores. again, amazon will have about a year's delayed, so it is certainly coming into the... the mainstream, more or less.
5:48 am
it is certainly coming into the... the mainstream, more or lessm certainly is, but in china it already is the mainstream. do you think that china is edging ahead of the us? this is a battle that countries are fighting on their own, but it is a matter of days, who can grab each other‘s dated. but it is a matter of days, who can grab each other's dated. it is very interesting, it does seem in this field that china certainly is already ahead. let's look at the daily telegraph, this is a stark headline, isn't it? children who are already obese at 11 doomed to early death. children are facing a lifelong battle with ill health. what struck me about this is that i think the language used in this particular report does seem to be extremely ha rd—hitting. we're talking about the word doomed, they are saying that most children who are saying that most children who
5:49 am
are obese at 11 are probably going to be obese for life and it is talking about taking perhaps 20 yea rs of healthy talking about taking perhaps 20 years of healthy life, nt news of your total lifespan. and of course, that seems to be, again, extremely worrying. in some reports, they have been quite good at tackling this issue at right now, this report is also saying that right now the outcome for children in scotland is particularly bad. again, looking at advertising foods to children, that could be creating obesity. stopping smoking in playgrounds and to me, thatis smoking in playgrounds and to me, that is surprising because i'm surprised that people are still smoking in playground. surprised that people are still smoking in playgroundlj surprised that people are still smoking in playground. i was surprised by that as well. at the moment, it appears that we do need an awful lot more... is it also about education? they are saying it is about family and issue a warning afamily is about family and issue a warning a family where they have bad eating habits and about lifestyle, you are understandably far more likely to replicate that. this goes back
5:50 am
generations, how do you break that cycle ? generations, how do you break that cycle? education certainly does have something to do with that this report is also saying that 50% of british women are already overweight 01’ british women are already overweight or obese. -- children. incredible, they are saying it has impact on the fetus and the like that that child will then go on to have. -- pregnant women. that's gone to another story, it is the sun, it is rupert murdoch saying that in the battle with facebook, it has now said, we have heard quite a lot for mark zuckerberg, quite a few initiatives over the last few years, his idea to try and trust facebook more. he wa nts try and trust facebook more. he wants people to break the news on their facebook feed and therefore trust, to say what they trust themselves. but actually, murdoch is saying that facebook should pay established and reputable news providers for the information that
5:51 am
they take on. yes, carriage free. 0ther they take on. yes, carriage free. other providers of news already do that, so he is saying there should be carriage free, that way the news would be reputable. as you say, this is all about trying to fight the fa ke is all about trying to fight the fake news and in the business community, there have been suggestions that he facebook cannot come to this issue about fake news, it will ultimately affect its business model. —— counter this issue. it is very important for facebook to try to come up with solutions to this issue. do you think it is difficult for them to do, though? i do not have a facebook account, so i am not familiar with this. what i think it is something that should be considered, will people be more willing to look at something that came, copper news via the? i would say yes, they would. facebook now faces a battle as the other social media sites to try to stop regulation and one senses that thatis stop regulation and one senses that that is what all of these new
5:52 am
initiatives are about and perhaps prevent the inevitable. do you think thatis prevent the inevitable. do you think that is perhaps what is needed, more regulation, kind of a top—down approach? ultimately, ithink regulation, kind of a top—down approach? ultimately, i think if businesses such as this cannot control it themselves, i think regulation is perhaps something that will happen. there is a story in the times that we have been talking about and asking people to comment on, and this is about some tourist in venice who went for a meal. they had a delicious steak dinner and they got landed with a deal for $1300. it is four people, this is four sta kes $1300. it is four people, this is four stakes apparently, and fried fish. the reaction to this has been quite interesting. well, it is. they went home, they were students. they went home, they were students. they went home, they were students. they went home, called the police. so, they actually paid it, didn't they? they paid it, went home, they called the italian police. some of the other newspapers have shown when there have been complaints to the same mayor before, he has called
5:53 am
them cheapskates. yeah. so again, it seems that this might be another issue, from the comments on this newspaper, it appears that it is not. ——1—off. newspaper, it appears that it is not. --1-off. i newspaper, it appears that it is not. -- 1-off. i actually newspaper, it appears that it is not. --1-off. iactually got newspaper, it appears that it is not. --1-off. i actually got ripped off oran ice not. --1-off. i actually got ripped off or an ice cream, i think £20 in rome, years ago. you leave anything to hang on, whatjust happened there? it happens, people get ripped off all over the world. the exchange rate is... yeah, yeah, absolutely. here is a story that we are also covering and this is in the los angeles times, 110 years after mickey mouse got his star on hollywood walk of fame, his co—star minnie mouse finally got hers. finally, this is some serious gender equality happening in hollywood. some serious gender equality happening in hollywoodm some serious gender equality happening in hollywood. it is indeed, and of course it is very dramatic in hollywood right now. whether or not it was announced because of the particular theme of gender inequality we do not know,
5:54 am
but certainly it has been looked upon, she has been in the business for 110 years, finally she gets her staff. for 110 years, finally she gets her "— r. 1421 m1— ii does tell eight tale, doesn't it?|j think the fact that it happens right 110w think the fact that it happens right now certainly does. and just a reminder to our viewers to get in touch over whether or not they have been ripped off when they have been away, but thank you very much for taking us through those papers. thank you very % g thank very much very forhf‘i'“ "' "' é the rest of we are in eggs: . .. in {xi—g? hour 5 but me, bye it now. 7 j.-. . ~ ... hello there. we're sticking with a mild theme for the next couple of days, and if anything, today looks very mild in places. we import that air from the south—west. it's going to bring about a considerable fall of any lying snow across central
5:55 am
and northern areas, too, and with weather fronts bringing outbreaks of rain and the thawing snow, we could see some standing water around. it's going to be a very mild start. those are the temperatures we're expecting this morning. but it's going to be a breezy one, a lot of cloud through tuesday, maybe a little bit of brightness here and there, and there could be a couple of weather fronts straddling the country. we'll start off with rain in england and wales and another one pushing into northern ireland and scotland. a warm weather front across the eastern side of england gradually clearing away. a little bit drier in between, pushing into wales and the south—west of england. there's going to be a lot of low cloud, mist and murk with these weather fronts too. always the case when we pick up these mild south—westerlies. a little bit of brightness at times across central, southern and eastern areas.
5:56 am
that will really push temperatures up, but there'll be more rain into western areas, 10 or 11 degrees at the lowest. this area of low pressure will move through on wednesday, it could cause some disruption. it's going to deepen and bring about some severe gales to scotland. maybe gusts of 70mph here. but it's going to be a very windy day elsewhere, widespread gales, a band of pretty heavy, squally rain spreading southwards and eastwards through the day. brightening up behind it, but it is a cold front. reach the south—east by the end of the day. and then on into thursday, that's through thursday
