to a landmark us civil rights ruling. and finally, the vancouver sun where a french waiter has filed a complaint with the canadian government over his firing from a vancouver restaurant for being abrasive with co—workers, saying his "direct and expressive" demeanor is simply part of his french culture. that is who he is. with me is jane foley, senior fx strategist with rabobank. that's get started. australia, syd ney that's get started. australia, sydney morning herald, on packing the decision on the part of the australian government to expel russian diplomats. it is a long list. this is a big international move. it is. now we have more than 20 countries doing this. the australians said this is an attack.

echoing some of the talk would have had from many other countries. the us saying that this is a breach of international law, and again, it is very difficult to look at these stories without thinking about the cold war. it is, and it is interesting to see how the russian government will respond to all of this. malcolm turnbull, the australian prime minister's language was pretty strong. at the us expelling some 60, a huge manoeuvre by the united states and a bold move. a large part of these are from washington, but some of them are from the un in new york as well. the interesting part today is to see pushback we get from russia. they have threatened they will retaliate against this as well. it is difficult because as we mentioned, president putin hasjust difficult because as we mentioned, president putin has just arrived in siberia, the horrific scene of a shopping wall of fire and we are hearing that could be many, many more who have died. there is a lot

of anger about that because of how this was handled in the investigation. he can't really, from the point of view of, his audience at home, he can't really make big bold moves from this point of view. he has to deal with that. he has to deal with the domestic issues. it is interesting because putin had been returned as resident in an election which he had huge majority, and there were reports suggesting that there were reports suggesting that the situation with the uk, because by that stage there hadn't been the response is also mini countries, was something that act putin that many people got behind him on that. he got more strength as it were. you have some inside track on the front page of the financial times. wall street return to precrisis bonus levels. many might read this and think, what's changed? exactly, and if we put this in perspective, the

average of the wall street bonuses was just over average of the wall street bonuses wasjust over $184,000, average of the wall street bonuses was just over $184,000, for that is a huge amount of money. if we look back as to why was 2017 such a good year, there was strong world growth and a lot of risk appetite in markets as well. particularly there was a lot of dealmaking, a lot of debt, interest rates were pretty low. a lot of companies issuing debt and a lot of bankers benefiting from it. what has changed? there is a lot more regulation now, but this is a headline. there is more in the us than in the uk in terms of regulation and the stress test and the capital banks have to have on their balance sheets and that kind of thing. it is more stringent. regulation generally has stepped up enormously. everything is more stringent wherever you are. one of the things the trump administration wa nts to the things the trump administration wants to do is peel back some of the regulation. what extent is the big

pa rt regulation. what extent is the big part of banking as it were, it is a big incentive mechanism because that was seen as big incentive mechanism because that was seen as part of the problem in what was driving the decision—makers and was causing bad decisions. what was driving the decision—makers and was causing bad decisionsm depends which country you are in. in europe, some countries have limited like by law, you cannot get more than 100% of your salary. some firms being, we lacked the bonus because people perform well. wejust being, we lacked the bonus because people perform well. we just don't have to pay them as much. that is interesting. let's look at this story the new york times, right in the middle of the front page. sweden teaches girls to shout. that is the headline. i love that, to be honest. it talks about preschools counteracting traditional gender roles, and they are getting quite mixed results. it is interesting that some of these preschools, the government had paid them to make the teachers look at how they treat boys and girls then try and split up some

of these gender vices we have. teachers had to study themselves, how they treat boys and girls, some of them have been quite surprised that there are these unconscious bias is. everybody is quite pleased. there is one example, one family not being pleased with their nice little girl comes home with being told to shout and stand up for herself. perhaps we have been taught what we might consider male qualities. it is not necessarily going down well in all quarters. it is interesting how they talk about the fact they are not referring to boys or girls, they arejust not referring to boys or girls, they are just calling them by their names. there is a whole school of thinking out there right now about gender and how that is played out in schools. but it interesting, if you just leave children alone to do what they want to do, they end up, they go and play with what they want to play with. whether it be a lego bricks or dolls or whatever.

regardless of their agenda. this is an experiment in what is nature and what is nurture, and to what degree is there a nature and what is the society brainwashing kids in order to tell them you have to do the heyde will play a certain way. there have been some academic studies done to see what the results are. has had some behaviours to go away when you treat them, boys and girls, in a much more equal way. clearly, i think we know there are nature quantities out there as well. absolutely. i am one of four girls and my dad, i think he had to learn how to shout! he had to learn how to get a word in. but look at the tribute to linda brown, a student at the centre of brown versus board of education. she died at the age of 76. she was a schoolgirl went, she wa nted 76. she was a schoolgirl went, she wanted to go to her local school and she couldn't. what a legacy she has

left, and this is perhaps the most famous us supreme court ruling of all. some schools had luck and white students, but she wanted to go to a particular summer school and they said she couldn't go. it was her father and he stood up to her. they won the case and this change the lives of millions of luck and white stu d e nts lives of millions of luck and white students throughout america. tough for her, though. extremely tough. she was just for her, though. extremely tough. she wasjust nine for her, though. extremely tough. she was just nine years old when this initially began. herfather wa nted this initially began. herfather wanted her to go to the local school for white children because to go to the next school, she would have had to cross lots of dangerous roads, train tracks, all sorts. it would have been dangerous for her. i can just imagine her going, the case goesin just imagine her going, the case goes in theirfavour, she has to then go to an all—white school. the only black child. it must have been absolutely terrifying. hugely terrifying. that particular school tried to stop her going in on the

day of the court ruling. she says in this report that she didn't understand it, not until she got to high school and they were studying this in history. at that point she realised, maybe i could be in the history books one day and certainly, she was. she campaigned right till the end as well, right throughout her life. what an incredible story and a brave woman and a very brave family. let's talk about vancouver. this french waiter who lost his job for being rude and aggressive. he is saying, hang on a second, that is the french culture, that is what we are like. that is quite unusual. basically, he strung to say, i shouldn't be sacked because of my culture and my culture is french and iam culture and my culture is french and i am allowed to be rude. it is quite unusual because he is suggesting all french people potentially have this type of mannerism. it has to be said that all of —— not all the reviews we re that all of —— not all the reviews were bad, but there were particular insta nces were bad, but there were particular instances when he left another member of staff in tears. it is

going to be interesting to see which way this goes. i have no idea. i will not put my bets on one way or another. i think it is really interesting. in this age of litigation, we are talking about the vw case earlier as well, it seems there is a lot going on at the moment. thank you so much for coming in. thank you for your comments. thank you for your company. we have plenty more for you at the top of the hour. join us for brea kfast. top of the hour. join us for breakfast. i will see you soon. bye— bye. hello there. the weather is looking fairly mixed as we head through the remainder of this week. during monday, there was some blue sky

and some sunshine around for many of us. in fact, this picture comes from one of our weather watchers in saltburn—by—the—sea in north yorkshire. it was a beautiful end to the day on monday, but skies have been clouding over overnight. and through the day on tuesday, we start with quite a lot of cloud, some rain around, which should clear toward the east and then things will turn brighter from the west later on in the day. so that's all down to the fact that we've got this frontal system moving its way from west to east across the country through the day on tuesday. low pressure in charge. but we will see some clearer conditions following behind this cold front as we work through the afternoon. also, a dip in the temperatures behind that front too. so tuesday morning, we've got a lot of cloud. you can see the outbreaks of rain in the east. some snow on the mountains of scotland as well. most of that rain clears off and then we see brighter skies with some sunny spells too. we'll keep the rain and a little bit of hill snow at times across parts of scotland. and temperatures range between around about 5—14 degrees. now, later on, on tuesday then, we'll keep the outbreaks of rain and hill snow for a time

across scotland. further south across the country, clearer skies, but then we see more cloud building in from the south, with some outbreaks of rain later on into the early hours of wednesday morning. so temperatures for most of us, frost—free to start the day on wednesday. but during the day, we'll start to see some slightly colder conditions. so on wednesday, the winds turn to more of a north—westerly direction, importing that slightly cooler air mass through the middle of the week. so here is how wednesday's shaping up. we've got that rain in the south. could be a little bit off sleetiness over the higher ground as well. —— of sleetiness over the higher ground as well. still a few wintry flurries for the mountains of scotland. whilst that rain clears towards the south—east, still a few showers, but most places looking dry. temperatures certainly colder by the time we get to wednesday. by the afternoon, around 6 or 7 degrees so probably the coolest day of the week. looking ahead towards thursday, low pressure still sitting to the north—west of the uk and another frontal system starts to move in from the south—west. after a largely dry start to the day on thursday, there'll be some showers pushing into wales, south—west england, making their way further

north and east, mainly for england and wales. for scotland and northern ireland, it's looking a drier day, particularly through the morning. could be an isolated shower during the afternoon and temperatures on the cool side, around 9 or 10 degrees for most places during thursday. what about the outlook towards easter? it starts off on that fairly cool theme, i think, but things will gradually turn milder. there'll be a little bit of rain at times, but also some sunshine to be enjoyed too. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast, with louise minchin and dan walker. the west waits for moscow's retaliation to the biggest mass expulsion of russian diplomats since the cold war. the united states, australia and more than 20 other countries leave russia out in the cold following the nerve agent attack in salisbury. good morning, it's tuesday the 27th of march. also this morning:
