for economic cooperation and development, far fewer workers are at risk of being replaced by a robot in developed economies than previously thought. meanwhile, in the telegraph business section, the boss of luxury vehicle makerjaguar says range rover and land rover car lovers will have steering wheels "for generations" and humans will always be able to drive if they want. this comes despite the company's new partnership with google‘s self—driving vehicles arm. and finally, like most other uk newspaper front covers, the independent has a picture of the infamous spitfire as britain's royal air force marks its centenary. so let's begin. with me is lawrence gosling, who's editor—in—chief at what investment. you are going to be taking us through those stories. let us with the jerusalem post and this through those stories. let us with thejerusalem post and this story in
5:46 am
thejerusalem post and this story in the comments from the pope. the vatican's relations with various states, they turn very slowly. they are very conscious of the history and they don't hurry things. how much should we be reading into comments like this? the pope talked about the gaza strip, there are a series of countries, he probably singled out syria as much as anything. and he talked about syria and the tragedy of syria. he also mentioned south sudan and the democratic republic of congo. that was in this whole discussion yesterday. i think it is important to see the pope, like any major leader when they speak about gaza or the other parts of the wild weather hostilities, it is part of the slow turning off the wheels to try to get peace into the well —— —— where there are hostilities. there have
5:47 am
been calls for an independent investigation into this, into the bloodshed in this demonstration, it turned violent. both sides blaming each other. the de smet —— defence minister in israel alt—right refusing to acknowledge the calls foran refusing to acknowledge the calls for an independent investigations —— out right. can we see any more into this? the pope getting involved in this? the pope getting involved in this and calling them defenceless. they are quite charged words. the eu's foreign policy chief has also called for an enquiry. you put the pope was together with other peoples and you start to see the building of pressure from one side in this debate for an independent investigation. clearly, the israeli government has kept a firm line and said there is not a need. we are in this classic stand—off position with gaza, as we have been for about a0
5:48 am
oi’ gaza, as we have been for about a0 or 50 years. absolutely. let us turn oui’ or 50 years. absolutely. let us turn our attention to trade and a war of a different variety. the china daily is looking at the impact of these us trade tariffs. they are fearing it could affect market sentiment. how well founded do you think the fielder? it is interesting that the china daily quotes the fact that in terms of reducing chinese gdp, it is a fraction of i%, almost statistically irrelevant, it could affect the earnings of they shares company. they are the chinese companies most favoured by non— chinese investors. if that drops by up chinese investors. if that drops by up toi.5%, that chinese investors. if that drops by up to i.5%, that could have some significant impact on market volatility. china has been trying to grow western appetite for data market. andy last two or three years there has been a recovery. the trade wa i’s there has been a recovery. the trade wars do have an opportunity to create volatility or uncertainty. we
5:49 am
are through the last quarter of this year, in stock market terms it has not been that great for investors. you add on the trade war and you begin to get a little bit nervous about the longer term outlook, certainly for the stock markets. you mentioned a shares, what are the shares that people like to invest in when it comes to china? clearly technology is one. china in the last five years has become the emerging technology company of the world. that is a significant part. you have some big retailing businesses in china as well. that is where the western investors who are getting access to what you would call real china, the growth in our economy through the technology through some of the retail companies. you have some of the real estate businesses there will stop people are less interested in those from an investment perspective. let us move on and talk about this story, the
5:50 am
female expert story. do you happen to have a sister or an art or someone to have a sister or an art or someone else we might be able to use? sadly not. according to this, 50% of our experts we have on news and current affairs programmes will be female. what do you make of this story? quotas forfemale river sensation? i don't think it is quota settings per se, i think it is getting a broader voice. i think it is similarto getting a broader voice. i think it is similar to getting people from different ethnic backgrounds on. it is about reflecting the country we live in as well. women are 52% of the population. i think 52% of the world population. it makes great sense, particularly in financial markets, it has been great in the last three or four years to see more women coming through two positions of authority. at the end of the day, men and women look at the market in slightly different ways. i think it isa slightly different ways. i think it is a great sort of view. i don't wa nt to is a great sort of view. i don't want to be replaced by a woman, but
5:51 am
iam sure want to be replaced by a woman, but i am sure there is a woman out there who can do this job a lot better than me. the difficulty is, for companies, and for media organisations as well, isn't so much that there aren't female experts and women coming through the ranks, but there are, the difficulty is finding out who they are and getting them on—air. do you have that within your own firm? what is your experience of being able to identify talent and bring it through? i think there is a loss of female talent. in terms of public faces, some women will lack the confidence to be seen sat in front of a camera on a regular basis talking about the business they work in —— a lot of. if you talk to them, their knowledge is as good as anybody else's. it is more developing the confidence of women to go out and publicly talk about their businesses and devera programmes like this. if you are not out of a job because you have been replaced by a female, you won't be replaced by a female, you won't be replaced by a robot either. this is
5:52 am
a story the financial times, seen quite a fewjobs will be saved. some of those fears that there will be mass unemployment around the world have been unfounded. this oecd report puts the number down about 1496, report puts the number down about ia%, at the back end of last she there was a much higher number, in there was a much higher number, in the ‘60s, from a couple of professors. what will appeal to many people, the most obvious, robots do not have the same social interaction that you and i have got now. again, i could be replaced by a robot, but, you know, you could not have the same dialogue with a robot that you can with a person. interesting try to do can with a person. interesting try todoa can with a person. interesting try to do a paper review with a robotic version of you. this is interesting. the comments from the boss of jaguar land rover talking about steering wheels and the fact that there will a lwa ys wheels and the fact that there will always be steering wheels in cars for yea rs always be steering wheels in cars for years to come. just to tell you a bit ofa for years to come. just to tell you a bit of a story, i was talking to a
5:53 am
truck driver and they were saying the future of the car is almost like the future of the car is almost like the wars today. in the developed world, people do ride horses because they need to round up cattle identical it is a letter, luxury pursuit for most people. will we see that with cars? nobody particularly wa nts to that with cars? nobody particularly wants to drive around physically if cities like london, if you can get from one place to another. but some people do like driving for leisure. it is perhaps a more efficient way of driving if you are doing it yourself in other sort of travel journeys. there is also an element of, with a company like jaguar land rover, they do the luxury end of the market. he does not want to alienate his core marketplace by saying to them you won't have the steering wheel. we are not going to move wholesale to driverless cars in the next five or ten years. as

consumers, we want a choice. we certainly do. just to end, spitfires. the centenary of the raf. you will‘s first independent air force. they were scoffed at to begin with. wonderful picture on the front of the independent. the lady on the right, mary ellis, is 108. she is older than the air force herself. we will leave it there. thank you very much for coming in and taking us through the papers. thank you very much for watching the briefing. from me and the rest of the team, goodbye. hello. easter sunday was a little bit disappointing across many areas.
5:55 am
it was rather cloudy, cool. the best of the sunshine was reserved across the north and the west of scotland. now we look to the south, to the next area of low pressure, which is going to bring disruptive weather for easter monday. it is an area of rain, sleet, and snow, fairly strong winds as well, continuing to push northwards during the early hours of easter monday with some snowfall likely across the higher ground of wales into central and northern england and even into northern ireland by early parts of easter monday. cold feel to things as well. particularly across scotland, where we'll have clear skies and widespread frost. for easter monday morning there could be travel disruption across northern ireland into central, southern scotland and northern england. widespread heavy wet, snow, could see up to 10—15 centimetres over the north pennines and into the southern uplands. some drifting of that snow because of the strong east to south—easterly wind. down to lower levels as well. a mixture of severe weather for the easter monday morning. further south, mainly rain. for england and wales milder air moving in. there will be a few sunny spells, one or two showers, temperatures in double figures, 10—13 degrees. cold and dry across the northern
5:56 am
half of scotland with one or two wintry showers. if you are on the move easter monday bear in mind that there is snow across central northern areas that could cause problems. keep tuned to the bbc radio and subsequent weather forecasts. a big area of low pressure will be close to the uk as we head into the latter part of monday and into tuesday. one thing it will be doing is dragging up some very mild air from spain and from france. initially across england and wales and pushing on into southern scotland and northern ireland through tuesday. there is the remnants of the sleet and snow across the northern half of scotland, heavy snow, drifting. strong easterly wind. further south, outbreaks of rain. for england and wales we will see sunny spells. a few heavy, maybe thundery april showers. look at those temperatures. that mild air, 13 maybe 15 celsius. much milder than what we have been used to. low pressure still with us tuesday into wednesday. eastern areas will
5:57 am
see the milder air. cold air pouring in behind this area of low pressure. outbreaks of rain for scotland, northern ireland, turning wintry over the higher ground of scotland, maybe down to the lower levels. elsewhere for england and wales it is another day of heavy april, maybe thundery showers and sunny spells. again, feeling quite mild, temperatures in double figures. hello. this is breakfast, with rogerjohnson and naga munchetty. doctors warn the nhs is facing a "year—round crisis. " they claim the pressures of the winter months look set to continue over the summer, amid warnings of lengthy waits and high admissions in a&e. hello. good morning.
