in the daily telegraph ‘eu holds threat of break up over google' as grave suspicions are held over the dominance of the internet giant in the bloc. looking at bloomberg where uber technologies agrees to sell its southeast asian operations to regional rival grab, in exchange for a 27% stake. it is the latest retreat for the world's valuable start—up, it says. finally in the daily mail, ‘we wish you a merry easter?‘ rabbit crackers, egg baubles, wreaths and easter turkeys, are supermarkets repackaging christmas? now you know. with me is iain anderson, founder of the international communications agency, cicero group. hugh were giggling about the easter

headlines, hopefully we will have some time to discuss that. the storm gathering over the white house, stormy daniels going public in a television interview and now it is out there, as it were. what you make of the washington post and what it has to say about this? it has gone big on this story and not surprisingly, it was the main prime—time news interview, 60 minutes with anderson cooper, a legend in the us broadcasting, last night. the tone is remind me a little bit of watergate. she is approached by a shady character in a car park in florida. it got me thinking about deep throat during the watergate scandal. she is also saying she was threatened in that encounter and she is now saying that

the money she was given during the us presidential election campaign, $100,000 basically to keep quiet way saying this did not happen, she is 110w saying this did not happen, she is now eating her words from that time and basically saying, alleging, that donald trump did have an affair with her. she says it was consensual sex, there were rumours that it was a long affair but they only had sex once. the issue was the $100,000 and how it was paid to her and whether it was a personal payment or an official campaign payment and that could be an issue. to what extent does this impact the presidency of donald trump? it does not exactly help donald trump. there is another series of allegations emerging over

the weekend about another playboy model, it appears, as well, basically bearing down on donald trump. you have the robert mueller enquiry, the official enquiry which continues to make progress as to whether or not donald trump had and encouraged russian interference in the us election and now you have this. two forces continuing to bear down on the oval office and it is not looking good to him for the mid— terms. an article i read this morning, discussing how voters may 01’ morning, discussing how voters may or may not be swayed by this kind of story in terms of the mid—term elections. 0ne article was saying, if this was a story that came out when president 0bama was in office it would have a completely different impact to the story and impact on donald trump in terms of how voters

view him and who is and what he is about. i think that is bright but none of these stories have been tested in court. i think, none of these stories have been tested in court. ithink, if none of these stories have been tested in court. i think, if these allegations were to go into court, the full galette, that —— glare, the full expose would be on donald trump so full expose would be on donald trump so let's see if this moves to actual litigation and litigation in the states can be very powerful. and lengthy and costly. the sydney morning herald and the australian press there is only one story in town. the darkest hour as some have described it. the anybody that knows anything about australia and anything about australia and anything about australia and anything about cricket, this is more important than politics or business. the allegation that steve smith, the

australian captain, in fact it is not an allegation he has basically fessed up to this, got a rookie, cameron bancroft, to tamper with the ball, trying to rough it up in order to get some advantage in the match. imean, to get some advantage in the match. i mean, this is absolutely dominating australian headlines because there was always this kind of sense that however rough and tough australian cricket can be, it is always fair game, always played a fairly. now, same old aussies always cheating, goes the barmy army giant in the front page. a lot of supporters in england and other places having a wry smile at this.” must admit, as the story emerged, and we had it here with cycling and

tennis, many would just assume that in any professional sport, in this day in in any professional sport, in this dayin a, in any professional sport, in this day in a, there is some sort of cheating going on. virtually every premiership game i watch, there is somebody diving close to the box, almost as if the player is trained to do so. this is a dreadful story for the australians and i bet it will reach the australian parliament as well. the telegraph looking at the eu threats to break up over google. the dominance of google, not ruling out it will rake it up. is google for it? we all know it is dominant, it is. it is over 9096 of european research and that is why the european commission is looking at this case and, you know, in the

way that policymakers do, she is holding the sword of damocles over google. everything we heard about the other internet giant facebook, andi the other internet giant facebook, and i think she feels she has political licence to push this idea. when you look back, precedent tells us when you look back, precedent tells us that the europeans can go after these big corporate is, it did with microsoft went mario monti was the european commissioner and he kind of one and at the time we were reporting it and thinking they are not going to get anywhere but they did. europe tries to break it up in america tries to defend it in the trade for developing here. you could have two different google ‘s... trade for developing here. you could have two different google 's. .. or two alphabets. lets take a look at who bar, they agreed to get a stake

in reverse its own brand out there. everything is changing now, in asia, the way people travel, the way people eat, because of these apps and technology. it is a concern. traditional transport providers, there is interesting embedded in the bloomberg story which is the japanese bank has stakes notjust in dubai but they have stakes in grab and others and ijust wonder whether 01’ and others and ijust wonder whether or not with the big stakes in both it made gruber except as part of their investment. —— uber. it made gruber except as part of their investment. -- uber. are you going to be painting eggs on sunday? there is a tree, turkey, a wreath,

sunshine, because it may well be in the forthcoming week that that is in short supply for some areas, especially the northern parts of scotland. all of us will notice it turning a little bit colder, because initially there's some warmth to be had, especially across the southern half of the british isles. and none settled look to proceeding. spring warmth across the southern counties but by wednesday, that may become a distant memory certainly as we tap into the cold air from scandinavia running into the northern half of britain. quite a cool start as well. there will be some sunshine at least. then in this vale of cloud turns a hazy and you lose it all together across northern ireland, the far west of wales and western england. at least that many of us that temperatures are in double figures at this stage. remember, one of the things was that the week was going to turn cooler. moisture pushed up into scotland across the eastern side of the

british isles so we would see rainfall. choose that, if the rain gets away, it will be a half sort of decent day. on the wednesday, another low pressure bringing threads of heavy rain into the central and southern parts of the british ours but that eventually moves further out to the east and then brightest guys get in the northern islands and wales. the weather front of their all thereabouts were it will not be warm and there will not be very much in the way of sunshine. further south, the way of sunshine. further south, the best of the temperatures 10 degrees. expect some hail in the heavier showers. 0n the thursday, still the weather front close by so we could still see a little bit of snow getting into the eastern side of scotland, particularly in the eastern quarter. another area of low pressure comes in from the atlantic

spreading the threat of leaden skies with some rain, not overly warm again. some heavy downpours as well and just again. some heavy downpours as well andjust in time again. some heavy downpours as well and just in time for the easter weekend, wouldn't you know it. low pressure very much in charge. hello, this is breakfast, with dan walker and louise minchin jewish leaders mount a searing attack onjeremy corbyn‘s handling of anti—semitism in the labour party. in an open letter they accuse him of siding with anti—semites, mr corbyn says he's sincerely sorry for cases that have ocurred in labour and stresses the party is anti—racist. good morning, it's monday the 26th of march. also this morning: the adult film actor,
