in the headlines in the media across the world, we begin with the irish times which unsurprisingly leads on plans by the irish government to hold a referendum in may on whether to reform the country's strict abortion laws. the washington post reports on the deputy director of the fbi, andrew mccabe resigning from his job weeks before he was due to retire. he's been the focus of intense criticism from president trump and his republican allies for what they claim is political bias towards hillary clinton. easyjet‘s chief executive has volunteered to reduce his salary by around $50,000 to match that of his female predecessor. we will talk about that story in a moment. the japan times has a story on tokyo's so—called 3000 internet cafe refugees. the paper says the government has surveyed hundreds of cafes in the city and found a quarter of those people staying overnight

had no home to go to. and finally the times says the american car giant ford is designing a driverless police car that can hide behind trees to catch speeding motorists and then issue tickets over an internet connection, or even chase down suspects. bish bash bosh, you are sorted. with me is priya lakhani who is a successful entrepreneur and founder and ceo of century tech, a uk based education technology platform. nice to see you again. lovely to see you. 0k, we had this announcement on the referendum in ireland. they can finally have their say. the referendum in ireland. they can finally have their sayli the referendum in ireland. they can finally have their say. i am pro—choice and the argument here is whether there will be more abortions oi’ whether there will be more abortions or if there will be the same number, but there will just or if there will be the same number, but there willjust be above the board. people have been buying pills, going overseas, so this is about having safer abortions, access to abortions, and if a woman is raped or if there was an open about the, if a child has a defect... the

paper is trained to gauge the mood. the prime minister will campaign for reform. i think that is amazing. this is very positive. we go to the co nsta nt is very positive. we go to the constant grappling with in the white house. people are coming in going. it is like the apprentice, you are fired, but apparently that is not what happened at all. so we do not wa nt to what happened at all. so we do not want to put words into the president's mouth, but we have the latest departure. lots of questions about that, he has left when he was good to retire in a few months. he was going to retire in march. two months in advance. there has been this hole, you know, donald trump has never really liked him because his wife is a democrat. she had a failed run for virginia. his wife is a democrat. she had a failed runforvirginia. she his wife is a democrat. she had a failed run for virginia. she raised half $1 million for what he called clinton puppets. he has never been a fan of andrew mckay. but this was the man who was looking over the

investigations into hillary clinton. —— mccabe. and that is key, but now he is gone. i don't know if we will see a report, an official report, on trump and russia, but he has a copy of this. there has been a trend of people leading very quickly. we don't know yet. there is no official... is one of those things that we might not find out, but the speculation is rife, and it doesn't help that they'd keep generating more questions. easy to be immune to everything. exactly. we shall see. let's move on to the guardian. easyj et‘s let's move on to the guardian. easyjet‘s chief has asked a pay cut to match his theatre predecessor. the woman has moved on to it the yearin the woman has moved on to it the year in the uk. —— has moved onto

itv here in the uk. by the sixth of april this year, 9000 itv here in the uk. by the sixth of aprilthis year, 9000 uk itv here in the uk. by the sixth of april this year, 9000 uk businesses had to declare their gender pay gap. that is something that we had to do at the bbc. and that has led to a whole can of worms opening. absolutely. he has reduced his salary by about 50, 30 £4000 —— £34,000. a lot of people are debating about whether or not he would do the same, but the real issueis would do the same, but the real issue is that we need to see more women in high productive roles, stem roles, but the issue with easyjet is the number of female pilots that aren't out there in the world. history to make a statement. yes, he is trained to say that they want to see more female pilots in the world. but this is an issue of why women are not choosing those jobs. the

gender page at that maggie gender pay gap is notjust about —— the gender pay gap is why women are not choosing certainjobs. we had parity between pay, there would be a lot more women out there working. one more women out there working. one more thing that we need to point out is that it is notjust about women, but about the quality and pay in general. in some cases, men are not paid as much as their female counterparts, because it depends on career progression and where it is taking place. if somebody is headhunted, they tend to be paid more. if they have come from outside, that sort of thing. there area outside, that sort of thing. there are a lot of men who are saying hang on, what about me? statistically, we cannot argue with the fact that... i mean, this is a mammoth issue. we all worried about brexit and gdp and the buzz feed ligue one we have had. the gp rise if we had more than a

working. these are putting the issue right, it is out there right front and centre. you cannot argue with this. this is fantastic news. let me wrong. are mentions of your tweets later. many have been in touch, many of you being man saying that, basically, you are happy to take a pay cut, but peter said that he doesn't earn enough to take a pay cut. lots of different is out there. a bit of context, here. we're talking about £34,000. he was offered £740,000, plus bonuses, plus obviously the whole package. and she was on 700 and... this is not possible for many men in the country. so we do want to make this a national issue, but i think this is pretty at front and centre, so good on him for doing that. internet cafes, internet cafe refugees, estimated at 3000. this is an extra

ordinary story on the front page of the japan times today. homelessness injapan, they are not in the street ina injapan, they are not in the street in a sleeping bag, but wandering around ready for our naica phase. they are openly four hours a day. —— wandering around 24 our internet cafes. these are frequented by people who are homeless. they had a huge move to reduce homelessness, and they are reporting all these new homes, but this has come out, and it is pretty damning. 3000 are spending their evening in internet cafes. and they say that they are caught between the fact that there was a rise in 30 —year—olds who are struggling to cope with the cost of living there, and they are stuck between not be at the own enough to have a place to live, to pay for a place to live, but they do have an income, so they don't qualify for

welfare. so they are stuck in that trap, really. that is very difficult. everywhere around the world, at the issue of homelessness is very difficult to try to figure out and try to get the right social policies in place to get people off the street. i am astounded by how many i see around london. oh, yes. around here. yes, you see them everywhere. but how much he knew incentivise them to get a job, but how much can you help them, and that is the real challenge. the times, a robotic car they could capture criminals by itself. what you think is the founder of a technological education firm? i am fascinated by this. ford have issued for an application in the property offers. this is amazing. using neural networks, artificial intelligence, it will find they... actually, this is how they are going to work it, it will hide behind a bush, and they will hide behind a bush, and they will work out the most common areas

for crime, which is the perfectly for crime, which is the perfectly for this kind of technology and machine learning, trying to work out high crime areas, and then what is really worrying is that the card itself, the artificial intelligence, will decide who to chase, and whether to give chase or not, and to get a ticket and who does not. and it is who programmes those algorithms and how you wait them as to how it will decide. but it is fascinating. innovation. thank you so fascinating. innovation. thank you so much forjoining us. always good to have you with us, priya. jordan says he is saying no. job quality has not mean equal pay. there is a whole mix opinion out there about this story. they do for your comments. we will see you soon. —— job of quality. —— equality. pretty cold out there at the moment. we start with a couple

of weather watcher pitches. a beautiful one from argyll & bute, and a nice sunset in london. a very different tuesday morning, a touch of frost across many parts of the country. the skies have been clearing in the last few hours. this is the satellite image from the last 12 hours or so. so initially we had the cloud. the cloud pushed away towards the east, and now we have this window of clearer weather. so the temperatures have been dropping like a stone. very early on tuesday morning in towns and cities, right in the middle of town, it will be generally above freezing, two or three degrees, butjust outside of town it will be cold. it could be as low as minus five degrees in the south. so this is rush hour, then, across the south of the country. you can see that hue of blue here, so the frost still here. in the middle of town, it'll be a degree or so above freezing, but outside of town, still very chilly. lots of sunshine around. different story here in the western isles and north—western scotland. a stronger wind off the atlantic, more cloud, and some showers around as well. so, the rest of the morning, then.

lots of sunshine around across many parts of england, particularly in the east. and if you live in hull, norwich, down into london, you'll hold onto the sunshine for longest. whereas, in the west and the south—west, we'll start to see clouds streaming in. so, for example, in cornwall, devon there, coastal parts of wales, it's not going to be a very nice afternoon. a lot of grey cloud, drizzle, hill fog, mist, that sort of thing. 10 degrees there in plymouth, whereas norwich is going to be brighter and colder. how are we doing compared to the rest of europe? so, in london, it's around about nine. paris is 11 — actually, it's not looking too bad at all across many parts of europe on tuesday. but there is a big change on the way for the middle parts of the week. a big low pressure swings in off the north atlantic. this is cold air here. a cold front sweeps through as well, and behind the cold front, traditionally, we get a cold rush of air. so here's the cold air tucking into that vortex, that area of low pressure on wednesday, and that means that we are in for some wintry showers. and some of them will fall as snow across scotland, northern parts of england, northern ireland as well,

and some of those snow showers may even sneak into areas a little bit further south. but there'll be plenty of sunshine around, as well. there'll be hail and thunder, probably, too. it could feel colder than six after nine degrees. in fact, those winds and that wind chill really might make it feel quite bitter. and then thursday and friday, it's looking just that little bit better. bye— bye. hello, this is breakfast, with louise minchin and dan walker. a leaked government report predicts britain could be worse off after brexit for the next 15 years. the confidential document was prepared for the brexit secretary, david davis, but number ten insists it fails to give the full picture. more than 1.5 million people receiving the main disability benefit are to have their claims reviewed, after a court ruling, but campaigners tell breakfast

the move doesn't go far enough. women
