warned iran not to test israel's resolve and accused tehran of seeking to dominate the middle east through terror. the telegraph reports uk prime minister theresa may has criticised britain's "outdated attitude" to university education saying too many people taking degrees are charged too much money for their courses. there's upbeat news in the ft. global dividends reached record levels last year, bolstered by strong global growth and a revival in us pay—outs as business confidence returns following political the uncertainty of 2016. and on front of the guardian, actor gemma arterton poses for a photo alongside equal pay campaigners gwen davis and eileen pullen at this years bafta's. actresses were asked to wear black dresses after a call for the awards to focus on industry inequality rather than clothes. let's get stuck into this. were

speaking to the vice president of strategy and communication at athos. you have been busy looking at this. let's start with the coverage of the student's decision, those students in florida who were in at school, many who survived that are able and awful atrocity last week. they are planning a march on washington these the. the question is will it make a difference? this terrible attack that happened last week at school. what it seems is that the students of not just this what it seems is that the students of notjust this school but the us stu d e nts of notjust this school but the us students are finding a voice here. their target, they have in their crosshairs, is the national rifle association of america. this is a strong body in america that looks

out for the rights of people to bear arms, purchase guns. . . arms, purchase guns... it is very fundamental to the american psyche that they should be able to have this freedom. but not only have previous presidents including barack obama have been defeated by this body in their attempts to tighten gun control, it is apparent that the stu d e nts gun control, it is apparent that the students are saying that enough is enough. a picture here show a number of different events that have happened. las vegas, orlando... these are the number of deaths in these kinds of shooting. no american president has been able to tackle the nra. we thought we would see a shift under the presidency of barack obama after the school shooting in sandy hook and seven —year—olds... that was horrendous. there was a huge campaign on the part of the obama administration. he did not

succeed. now we have president trump who said he will not change the second amendment. he will not be hands—on when it comes to changing the laws with regards to gun ownership. what hope is there? that is the big question. we must have hope. the challenge is that there is a spike in interest and a call to change after each of these tragedies but it dissipates quiet quickly. this one does feel as if it has more momentum to eat. yes. and there is a combination of things. ijust looked at twitter to see what is happening around this issue and you can see people posting videos, messages about the 17 people, the 1a students and three teachers who were killed. what they want to see done, they are targeting the president and saying come and talk to us. year out tory. i think this movement could really

get some momentum. let's hope it does because it is about time that something changed. looking at arab news 110w. something changed. looking at arab news now. and benjamin netanyahu to iran, don't test israel. when i looked at this thought... no change there in terms of the israeli prime minister's stands and his focus, what he argues that the international media or anyone listening — iran is the problem in the middle east. that is his opinion. it is his opinion but this isa opinion. it is his opinion but this is a dramatic way that he has demonstrated that particular issue. the speech in munich, holding up the fragment of a growing that they claim is an iranian drone that they shot down. —— fragment of a drone. and recently, an israeli fighter plane shot down, the first time since 1982. i know we hear about the tension between israel and iran but

this seems to be a bit more tangible echoes of these elements. if that is the case, we have the potential for a real conflict. and the conflict ground here is syria. they are the proxy between the two. and being front—page of arab news, all of the neighbours are watching very closely and intensely because it could have big ramifications. the issue here is that they are trying to highlight the iran nuclear agreement which they feel is not doing its job. israel is pushing this and raising the stakes to say we want sanctions to return. that is the target that israel has, more sanctions on iran. having a look at the telegraph talking about theresa may taking britain's outdated attitude to university education. she is basically saying it is too expensive in england for students to go to university. what do you make of her taking this step? i have a real interest in this story echoes

anybody who looks at british higher education, bastian of quality throughout the world, will be wondering what we are talking about. is not just wondering what we are talking about. is notjust the brits, the english. that is right. yes the scottish have their own system. sorry, the english. it is about quality. firstly there is a question about the quality of the degrees that are being achieved by english students and does it relate to the value they have to pay for those degrees? her point is that most universities charge the maximum they are allowed to charge for studying for one academic year, regardless of the quality of the degree, the length of time, which university there at all it is not being done in a competitive way as opposed to merely charging what they can. exactly. they charge what they can but it is also a good case of relevance of course. what do people need these

days? there is snobbery about how everybody feels they should be achieving a university degree rather than a technical qualification. will it change? there has been a review announced to. my concern an ounce —— is that cuts have been suggested for a rts is that cuts have been suggested for arts and social sciences. i don't think that is the way to go. we need to look at the requirements for education and notjust specific .. and then we have the potentiality ofa .. and then we have the potentiality of a change in government and jeremy corbyn sang the students we need to pay tuition fees at all. in that case i say put it in the hands of an independent body to do this review because it is a worry that higher education becomes a politicalfull wall and there are various contributions —— historical connections to be made about why this to a as if to attend

university. let's skip now to the baftas. we a re university. let's skip now to the baftas. we are looking at the guardian. a picture of two dad and girls. —— dagenham girls who stood their ground when it came to equal pat’- their ground when it came to equal pay. here is another one of those amazing award ceremonies but what we have seen, especially after the harvey weinstein scandal that hollywood in the film industry has taken this is called celebre. yes, #metoo... taken this is called celebre. yes, #metoo. .. the point being equality representation, harassment, racial discrimination is —— these are all things it appears that society is turning against in a big way. i

think it is a great thing because we are looking at society charging towards a more fairer model. yes it is equality for women in terms of pay but there is also all those other areas having more people with this ability is in work,... more diversity being represented in different ways in all walks of life i think when you encourage these things, my only concern is that they only seem to crop up at award ceremonies. quite interesting because we have views from viewers as saying that they no longer watch these virtues signalling award shows, a pity because they used to watch them. others then say it is great to see dialogue being open and change is needed. thank you. we appreciate you being on the programme. thank you for your company on the briefing today. i will see you very soon. good morning. it looks like the weather pattern will change quite significantly over the week ahead. the last few weeks or so we have had fast moving weather with a strong jet stream across the atlantic.

over the next few days everything will slow down and the jet will become weaker and it will change position. much more undulation in the jet stream that will induce this area of high pressure for midweek onwards settling things down. not a lot of sunshine around on sunday. we have some to the lee of high ground across parts of wales and the south—east and east anglia got sunshine as well as north—east scotland though for many of us, cloud rolled in and lot of cloud at the moment so no frost. two weather fronts on the scene as well, the first one bringing most of the current rain and drizzle. in between the two we have a pocket of mild air. get sunshine in the west this time

that will boost the temperature. a change of fortune on monday. eastern scotland and eastern england are drab and dreary with a lot of cloud, rain and drizzle. dry and bright with a little sunshine especially in coastal areas and in northern ireland ahead of the second band of rain that arrives later in the day. get some sunshine, 13 degrees in the east under the cloud and rain, only 7—9. those two bands of rain join forces to bring rain for england on tuesday, probably from humber southwards. heavy for a while, easing off in the afternoon but a strong wind will push cloud through the midlands towards the west country. further west and north in particular the air will be drier with more sunshine around and decent temperatures. overnight clear skies, light winds and the temperatures will fall away. the rain peters out towards the south—east. we will have some cloud at times across southern areas but elsewhere we will be back in the blue with frost in rural parts — the first of a few frosty nights to come. a cold start on wednesday but brightening up with nice sunshine around for many. more in the way of cloud through the day at times, wales, the midlands and southern england with sunny

skies further north. by this stage the wind are light everywhere and you get some sunshine it will not feel too bad, but this temperatures will be around 7—8 degrees or so. some weather system threaten to come in from the north—west and bring back the sort of weather that we have been seen but they will be held at bay by the blocking area of high pressure so thursday and friday will still be drier. temperatures reaching perhaps 13 degrees at the beginning of the week and that mild start will turn chilly, particularly at night but it is becoming dry. hello — this is breakfast, with louise minchin and dan walker. theresa may admits students have serious concerns about the cost of going to university. she's launching a major review into higher education in england, as she admits young people face "one of the most expensive systems of university tuition in the world". good morning — it's monday the 19 february. also this morning:
