not sure that i would use the word genius but he certainly knows how to ignite controversy. what if he manages getting china... ignite controversy. what if he manages getting china. . ii ignite controversy. what if he manages getting china... i think this is a message that has been sent all over the world about trade, that the discrepancies we have is that they are putting the rest of the world in very difficult times and very unfair circumstances. xi jinping really has to listen to what trump has said and your previous commentator was very lucid, was clear about this, that china stands to lose more than anything else because they export something like 80% of their goods to the united states of america. actually think and hope that this is huffing and puffing because it was very interesting yesterday, when we sought shares like bowling, which we re sought shares like bowling, which were down initially in nearly 5% when the dowjones opened, when the futures opened, a50 points down and

it ended up the day in positive territory and there was a huge...m tells you about what investors are thinking. exactly, there is this vacuum of uncertainty and they can deal with good news and bad news, what they can't deal with is uncertainty. i would never want to work in the cities. nerves of steel are required. it has been said that it is now so dire, does he have a point? this is not a game between the united states and china, this is a pebble in the water for the whole world, if this goes wrong, it is the domino effect. are you on facebook? no. for me, i mean it later offer, my children would be horrified if i was. “— my children would be horrified if i was. —— macro name. -- a.

does this story make you think you have made the right decision? bloomberg had discovered that if you are sending links and photos privately to people on facebook, it can scan photos and also read your conversations if it believes that there is cause to read them. it is quite worrying, isn't it? it is worrying, the share price injust over a week is down from $185 to $155, that is almost $90 billion in value. mark zuckerberg is clearly a genius but you have what i call this pyramid of management, where he makes all the decisions from paperclips to corporate finance, he has got to get the right people for thejob. he has got to get the right people for the job. he can't has got to get the right people for thejob. he can't do it all, what he has to be seen to do by the shareholders is to be putting
5:49 am
measures in place to deal with governments, and with the things that could go wrong to cyberspace and the rest of it and be extremely positive. everything is mark zuckerberg, that has to stop. is the trust issue as well. exactly. facebook is not dead, not by half a shot but the thing is that it has clearly got great big holes in the management. absolutely, and i mean also if you look at facebook generally, you talk about money being wiped off it as easily, you can put money back on it in a day. absolutely right. with the right leadership, it will come back to. let's talk about this next story, psa is the french manufacturing firm. it talks about wanting to invest money in the uk despite brexit, the manufacturer is going to invest 100 million euros to increase production capacity at it lesion plant. what is your take on this than? surprise? —— luton plant.
5:50 am
plant. what is your take on this than? surprise? -- luton plant. my ta ke than? surprise? -- luton plant. my take on this is aimed pleasantly surprised. apart from germany, britain is the largest manufacturer of cars in europe, bar none. and we are very, very good at it. the reason that psa has cut back a lot and has lost the market in recent yea rs and has lost the market in recent years is that the labour laws in france a shocking. and they realise this, this is me being slightly cynical. so they have probably got the facilities here in luton which will do well for them, they might as well because we have got a very good architecture... wish engineering is... no, no, likei architecture... wish engineering is... no, no, like i said before but the fact is we are terrific added. —— british engineering. the fact is that brexit remains a concern, ta riffs that brexit remains a concern, tariffs are still a concern. they
5:51 am
are happy to invest, and the fact that companies are happy to invest isa that companies are happy to invest is a big sign of how they view things are heading. is a big sign of how they view things are headingli is a big sign of how they view things are heading. i think the way that all these negotiations are going, we will be heading right down to the wire. it makes people, again with uncertainty, very nervous. i am up with uncertainty, very nervous. i am up and at them, i think the situation is that nothing new as dire as people make out and the conciliatory tone, while it is not appear to be coming forward at the moment, will be there. why? because it has to be. that's talk about the arab news story, saudi arabia and it slows stories towards modernisation. we are seeing women are going to be able to drive, open businesses, i believe, and now saudi arabia is opening its first cinema in 35 yea rs. opening its first cinema in 35 years. this is huge news. opening its first cinema in 35 years. this is huge newsi
5:52 am
opening its first cinema in 35 years. this is huge news. i think the crown prince is obviously very clear thinking person. ifirst went to riyadh 20 years ago and it was just a small town in the sand, it is a huge metropolis now an they have to getaway, because they have a huge budget deficit, and they have to be seen as an budget deficit, and they have to be seen as an internationally trading country and it needs modernisation. the human rights record is appalling that he is there going to make sure that he is there going to make sure that it improves, as you say, women are going to be able to drive cars, they will have access to the western world much more than they have at the moment. they have 3000 people down there. they have tremendous business down there, so we have to see more international import. business down there, so we have to see more international importm has a massive population, so many under thirties. phenomenal. you touch on the human rights record, what does this mean in terms of the human rights record ? what does this mean in terms of the human rights record? 0pening what does this mean in terms of the human rights record? opening a cinema is not going to change that, is it? well, the people of saudi
5:53 am
arabia and its government and the crown prince, when they see what is going on in the western world, provided they do notjust cover everything over, you are going to have to be influenced by it and by the fact that for acceptability on the fact that for acceptability on the global stage, we want to do business, you have to change your ways. reading this story here, it says that it could create 30,000 permanentjobs, it could contribute more than 90 billion to the local economy. i love seeing the picture there, that is just one of many. you have netflix and all the other things that go to it as well, it is a huge move. 0k, things that go to it as well, it is a huge move. ok, let's talk about millenials. we love bashing millenials, don't we? well, i don't. apparently, the top ten things millennial struggle with include changing a tyre, fixing it up. can you do that? no. rewire a plug, can
5:54 am
you do that? no. rewire a plug, can you do that? yes. i can obviously change a tyre, the last time i did that was for three nuns. this is pre— watershed, by the way. absolutely. but i think this is endemic and the fact is that people have got, the service industry is huge. they surely have so many skills, don't they? so lovely to talk to you, thank you very much indeed. thank you for watching the briefing. from me, maryam moshiri, and the rest of the team, goodbye. wednesday brought a real mix of weather across the country. thursday is looking completely different. it's going to be quite a chilly start.
5:55 am
frosty start for some of us, but the weather is looking great. so a lot of sunshine eventually in the afternoon. and that'll be right across the country. this is the cloud that's been bringing the unsettled weather still in the north of the country, snow in places as well. but that is finally clearing away and as we head through the course of the morning, the remnants of the cloud across parts of lincolnshire, the midlands, east anglia, and the south—east but the skies already clearing across many parts of the country. by early on thursday morning, it will turn clear in northern england too, and the temperatures will drop away like a stone across the northern half of the uk. some rural spots in scotland could get down to —7 degrees, whereas in the south, around 3—6 degrees celsius. so here's the forecast for tomorrow. the last of that cloud clears away from the south—east during the morning and then it's pretty much sunshine all round. however later in the afternoon, the skies might turn hazy out west and into northern ireland. now, a slightly cooler day on the way on thursday.
5:56 am
maybe 8—12 degrees celsius. that's because the morning will be pretty chilly. that sun will have to work a bit harder to warm things up. you can see there's a weather front approaching. that weather front will be in place across western parts of the uk during the course of friday. quite a split in the weather towards the end of the week. many western areas will eventually turn fairly cloudy. there will be some outbreaks of rain, particularly in plymouth, the western isles as well. but look at that — central and eastern areas looking sunny. arrows coming in from the south. the southerly wind will start to making still warmer. temperatures up to 15 in london, some eastern areas getting up to 13, possibly, as well. now, friday into saturday, that warm air is still kind of with us. certainly not for everybody. it'll be mostly hugging south—eastern and eastern areas of the country. so by the time we get to saturday, the chances are that it may turn a little bit warmer still. however, notice that there is a bit of rain drifting out of the south, moving northwards. so some of us will get some rain on saturday, but the possibility of temperatures getting up to around about 17
5:57 am
degrees in east anglia. that is really going to feel like spring. but for most of us on saturday, it will still be cooler, more like 12—1a degrees. on sunday, eventually that blob of rain from the north will move northwards into scotland. things should dry out. partly cloudy for most of us on sunday. still very decent temperatures, 1a in london, 13 expected in edinburgh and glasgow as well. that's it, have a good day. hello, this is breakfast, with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. facebook admits that up to 87 million people may have been affected by the cambridge analytica scandal — far more than previously thought. more than 1 million of those users live in the uk. the site's founder, mark zuckerberg, says he made a huge mistake. good morning, it is thursday 5 april.
