because they thought they looked too big in their smartphone photos. with me isjoel kibazo who's partner atjk associates and a former director of communications at africa development bank. let's start with the business page in the daily telegraph and the news donald trump will impose what they are calling devastating tariffs on steel imports. it is not clear which countries will be affected by this at this point? it is unclear at all. we have seen this in the way the stock markets have reacted, particularly in asia. i think the trump statement shouldn't be a surprise because it was a campaign theme. however, it came out unexpectedly. usually you give signals these things are about to happen. in this case, there was no signal so

the us markets fell for fears of consumers and big falls in asia where you do have big exporters like japan and south korea because they fear these tariffs will be impose. exports in china said they are not worry, they only import 2% to the united states, however it is the effect on the rest of the world, the trade border could be ignited. the eu have said they will impose countermeasures, not surprising? not only the eu, canada has signalled they will not just take this only the eu, canada has signalled they will notjust take this lying down. it is the general fear that we are on the brink of a trade war. now, the truth is, the republican party, mr trump's party, now, the truth is, the republican party, mrtrump's party, is now, the truth is, the republican party, mr trump's party, is a free trade party. it seems as if there is some unease, so trade party. it seems as if there is some unease, so there could be a possibility these measures could be walked back a little in the next few weeks. big question over whether any

jobs back to the united states or whether it will cost jobs jobs back to the united states or whether it will costjobs and cost the economy even though the number ofjobs in the steel industry have fallen by many thousands over the number of years. the us is concentrating on other technologies. they talk about the revolution in technology and where the us leads in areas such as that. this will be a temporary thing for some steelworkers. but, overall it will cost jobs because even steelworkers. but, overall it will costjobs because even toyota has already signalled, costs of cars, costs of production will go up and therefore consumers will be affected and that could inevitably lead to job cuts. let's move on to the independent and this is looking ahead to a speech by theresa may. she will be laying out her red lines, going forward. we have had a week of it with the eu and the eu are launching or publishing their

withdrawal document which runs into many hundreds of pages. 120. what to expect from this, will we be hearing anything we heard before?” expect from this, will we be hearing anything we heard before? i don't think so, this is an echo chamber where the british are speaking to themselves. it is forgotten there are 27 other partners in the eu they are 27 other partners in the eu they are having to negotiate with. it will lay out some ground, try and give some comfort, however i am not so sure give some comfort, however i am not so sure it will do anything for the rest of the eu, who, at the end of the day, britain has to negotiate with. it is aimed at bringing some kind of unity to her cabinet, to her party and to the country. which is terribly split over this issue. it is an issue that will dominate british politics and the british economy for the next two generations. it is not surprising these are the kinds of reactions that are happening. it is as much

aimed at her own party as anyone else, will it bring them together? not a cat in hell's chance. it'll be interesting to see what she says and what the reaction will be. let's look at another paper and this is in the times. the headline, my rockets are bigger and faster, boasts putin. that usually lined up with north korea, that is after president putin put on quite the display about his new weapons capability yesterday? that's right, president putin in russia gives an annual speech and this time he had videos showing the new drones, the new missiles and equipment that has been developed within russia. of course, there is a fear this could lead to an arms race. especially given the fact that president trump has signalled he

wa nts to president trump has signalled he wants to spend around 700 billion us dollars to re—equip the us army. could some of that money be directed towards this, if it is seen as a threat? the us defence department has said we are ready for whatever action the russians are going to take. already that is causing some nervousness with the language being deployed. the language used by president putin said his super weapons would make missile defence is useless. are we seeing a step above the rhetoric coming from russia? we need to put this into context. there is an election happening in russia. you do need to speak to the base and speak to your population. i think president putin is wanting to look strong to his people and his electorate. that of course doesn't mean there is no

reaction outside, but we must be cautious and not see this as really the start of a race for equipment and have a build—up. the start of a race for equipment and have a build-up. military capability. they did single out the us in their reaction saying it is about the threat from iran and not russia. so almost trying to placate them? i think so. this is a domestic consumption story. it doesn't mean there is no threat, but we do need to put things into context. the new york times, china wields its coal power. it is about china moving into africa as they demand more and more energy? this is interesting because energy? this is interesting because energy is the key thing if africa is to develop. 640 million people don't have access to energy in africa. it is equivalent to about 40% of the

population without access to any form of power, which is huge. so there is a need. in this case, it is a story about a plant being built in kenya. within the environment is. it is built by china and it is coal powered. but of course there are issues to do with the environment. so how do you balance the need for power versus the need to preserve the environment? i think the un has been saying being the leader in renewa bles been saying being the leader in renewables such as wind power, should be looking to that, rather than this. it is a difficult balancing act for many african governments and patience to face. china has to balance its own environmental concerns, and then they are exporting electricity making capability. it is china's

pledged to become a leader in this environment. i were as at the climate talks when that statement was made. at the same time, it is having to look elsewhere to export its coal capability. it is very difficult. very contradictory for china and africa. a question for you, are you a fan of the selvie? anybody who has teenage daughters, asi anybody who has teenage daughters, as i do, cannot be but a fan of the selfie. me, personallyi as i do, cannot be but a fan of the selfie. me, personally i am not. but this is a wonderful story. the story is about the fact that selfies, people haven't realised that they make your nose about 30% bigger. plastic surgeons have seen a huge increase in demand is for plastic surgery increase in demand is for plastic surgery for people'snoses to be made smaller. not realising that when you

put the camera about 12 inches away from your face it makes your face look bigger. i love the story because they have seen a bigger increase since 2016 and 2017 when the demand, about i6% of surgeons had had these requestsjumped the demand, about i6% of surgeons had had these requests jumped to 55% in 2017. you would think they would keep it to themselves because they will get more business but it must depend on where you hold the camera? i2—macro if you hold it about 12 inches away, it looks bigger. you know we are going to take a selfie when we come. thank you for taking us when we come. thank you for taking us through the news briefing. thank you for watching the briefing with me, and from the team, it is goodbye. hello there. we've seen some really treacherous conditions quite widely across the uk.

and scenes like this as a result of the heavy snow. earlier on, we had this red warning from the met office for the south—west and parts of wales. we still have some warnings of more snow to come as we head into the morning. across northern ireland, across scotland and even through the central belt and the north—east of england, frequent snow showers around here. those warnings expire at 10:00am. expiring earlier perhaps, this amber warning further south where we've seen the focus of some very snowy weather, notably across hampshire. and that snow, due to storm emma has pushed its way northwards into the cold air, the beast from the east, that cold easterly wind. that snow is pushing its way further away from the south—west and perhaps things won't be quite so bad by the time we get to the end of the night. but it will be cold, not as cold because there is a good deal of cloud around and we still have those strong easterly winds.

there is the threat of some more snow on friday. we've got these snow showers across scotland, across the north—east of england running through the central belt, snow threatens northern ireland and we could see some more snow arriving up across southern parts of england and into wales, especially in the afternoon. how quickly, how widely and how quickly it moves northwards, still a lot of uncertainty. it is going to be another cold day. temperatures struggling to get above freezing and we've still got this bitter easterly wind so when you add on the effect of the wind, this is what it will feel like, another cold day to come. but, things will slowly change over the weekend. instead of that bitter easterly wind, we'll start to push up something more from the south, this is certainly less cold air and that will percolate its way northwards slowly but surely over the next few days. still some cold winds for the northern half of the uk, still some snow showers around here coming in off the north sea. we may have a lot of cloud further south as well. for the most part it will be dry, but still the threat of some rain perhaps coming into southernmost counties over land and over the hills, the threat of some snow. very messy picture for saturday. the winds easing down in the south and temperatures won't be quite so low but still the threat of icy conditions and perhaps snow working

northwards overnight up towards the borders of northern england on sunday. to the south of that we may see some rain and perhaps some sleet and snow mixed in there but it's not as cold, not going to be purely snow, as it has been with a mixture of wintry weather. temperatures rising, even across scotland temperatures won't be as low as recently. so we'll gradually lose that really cold easterly wind. still be cold for most of us this weekend, but not as cold. still the risk of rain and snow. hello this is breakfast, with charlie stayt and tina daheley. the army has been called in to help rescue drivers stuck in snow and blizzards overnight — hundreds are still stranded. police in somerset and hampshire have declared major incidents. troops, coastguard and search and rescue teams have been working through the night to clear roads. amber weather warnings still cover

most of the uk. ten people are thought to have died in severe weather related incidents since it began four days ago. good morning. it's friday the 2nd of march. also this morning.
