now it is time to look at the stories that are making the headlines in media across the world. we begin with the times that reports on how uk prime minister theresa may is under pressure from ministers and allies to join a possible us—led military strike against the assad regime in syria in response to the alleged chemical attack. the financial times looks at how the syria conflict and us sanctions have resulted in russian stocks suffering their worst session in four years. that was on monday. vice news is reporting that donald trump has slammed the fbi raid on his lawyer, michael cohen, and is once again floating the idea of firing special counsel robert mueller. the daily mirror leads with the story of the nearly 130 premier league football stars who face hundreds of millions of pounds‘ worth of bills after ploughing cash into tax avoidance schemes. and the gulf news looks

at the looming countrywide shutdown in india. states have beefed up security after several groups who oppose caste—based reservations called for bharat bandh or "india shutdown". with me isjustin urquhart stewart, director of seven investment management. talk us through these stories. start with the times. it is looking specifically at the pressure on the uk prime minister following what happened over the weekend in syria. there is the whole question about the uk involvement in any response what that would mean and whether she would actually discussed that will ta ke would actually discussed that will take it to parliament, and then what that would mean. the pictures we all saw over the weekend were horrific. it is not a matter of saying this is going to be good for britain or not, had to respond to something like that. the question is how going to

do it. it was an active response and it had a reaction to it. when obama drew a red line, all that did was actually encourage further mr eaves. when he drew the red line, he looked at the uk for support and that the sign —— time, it was voted down in parliament. this is the concern with theresa may, she has to go to parliament with jeremy corbyn in theresa may, she has to go to parliament withjeremy corbyn in the opposition. will that be the end result? it could easily be the end result. if people see what is going on, they will be expected to sate we wa nt on, they will be expected to sate we want some action. those are horrific pictures of those children being poisoned like that. the security council meeting yesterday that the us is saying we will not tolerate this and there will be action zone. we will watch this space very closely. the financial times is

looking at how russia had a pretty torrid session, its financial markets having the worst day for some time. some affiliated with certain russian oligarchs hit hard and explain what is going on here. this is the worst effect we have seen since the crimean invasion, but you saw here that the moscow in desks was over by —— down by over 8%. all the related companies, one of the big aluminium producers that is hong kong listers, they wipe half the value. various companies, very badly affect bird. in terms of trying to pick off some of the oligarchs here, we have one whose operations are involved in these companies, we are actually seeing some pain affected. it is

interesting because in response to financial sanctions being beefed up significantly by the us on friday, this was not necessarily about the chemical attacks. the us beefed up in response to the salisbury attack in the uk, it is interesting to see how this plays out. russia, it will hit them hard. it will hit russia. further actions being taken to individuals in london as well. a combination of syria, the issues in regard to salusbury, a whole series of elements coming together will stop add to that the trade issues with china as well, the world is an uncertain place at the moment. a bit wa ry uncertain place at the moment. a bit wary of what russia will do next. uncertain place at the moment. a bit wary of what russia will do nextm the meantime, domestic issue that will not go away. michael cullen, he said it is absolutely disgraceful. we know his relationship with the art is not good at all —— cohen. it

shows how far the official council is prepared to go in expanding his brief to see what information he can try and gather. is he actuallyjust ona try and gather. is he actuallyjust on a search mission to try and see what he can dig up, with the following line? we don't know at the moment. the more trump squeals about it, the more... many are wondering if robert buller will get fired, whether he may not see this process through —— mueller. many want to see this process through because there are so many this process through because there are so many questions about the election in 2016, we have the bird being grilled about this situation as well. —— zuckerberg. anything can happen. the daily mirror, a tabloid in the uk, football exclusive. £250 million tax bill for 129 premier

league stars. this is the uk tax authority chasing 129 players for money they have not paid, but they are due to pay. these film schemes which have always been regarded... explain how these work. the whole idea is you put money in to these film schemes and because it is seen asa loan, film schemes and because it is seen as a loan, the banks will then lend more money against that as well all stops you put in a million, the banks were put in more millions. but it is not tax deductible. you avoid paying tax on your income if you plough some money into these schemes. absolutely. but then they can say you have tax notjust that amount of money but then what the banks put in as well. the overall cost will be significantly higher. this is why these numbers are so big. it is only a matter of time. if you have a tax avoidance scheme, the

hmrc have said, it is avoidance so it is not illegal, but it will easily become evasion if we say it. do not do it. too late for these people. top names in football could face financial ruin. it is notjust football. it is a lot broader than that. and the question is, who is to blame? the accountants, the advisers, the individuals... certainly, some of the advisers behind this. in the golf, -- gulf news. india states go on alert for today's shot down. explain. this is today's shot down. explain. this is to do with the old car system, which this was back in the day of dundee and —— ghandi. you have a demonstration against the cast structures which are still very

strong indeed. it was a very good programme recently that highlighted some examples of this which were really desperate indeed about couples being rejected by their family, unable to live properly, and it still carries on. quite rightly, it still carries on. quite rightly, it is still highlighted. but the result is there may be violence, security issues because of this demonstration. it is on the front page, but hardly any where else. across india, it is a huge event that could have been repercussions. we wa nted that could have been repercussions. we wanted to show this one. this is the front page of the times. rinse charles were some very interesting headgear on. what is going on? —— prince charles. it looks like he has a white chicken on his head. a p pa re ntly a white chicken on his head. apparently he went and saw the elders of the aboriginals. this is traditional headgear. i wonder if it actually them taking the mickey out of the prince of wales saying, this is what we traditionally do. over

pushing into wales, and that will continue to work its way northwards. and for most of us, disappointing temperatures this week. a lot of cloud, some rain at times. easterly winds are setting up, so it's always going to be better towards more western parts of the uk. at the moment, our weather map is dominated by a large area of low pressure. that's not really going anywhere at all, picking rain up from iberia and pushing it across france and heading it towards our shores. so the rain that's been developing continues to work its way northwards through the day, away eventually from northern england, up into scotland apart from the far north—west. some wetter weather later for northern ireland. some cloud following on behind that, and still rather misty, especially in the hills, as it brightens up across southern parts of england. and as we get some sunshine, it will get a bit warmer but it could trigger some heavy showers around too and will continue into the evening. 0vernight, we'll see that rain moving away from northern ireland and scotland. the next area of rain comes in around our area of low pressure, originating from germany, moving across the low countries, and heading towards england and wales. some uncertainty about exactly

where the rain is going to be on wednesday. at the moment, it looks more likely to be through the midlands, wales, possibly into northern england. should be drier for scotland and northern ireland. again, not too bad for the north—west of scotland. but across eastern scotland, north—east england, haar and fret, low cloud, mist and drizzle. really low temperatures, as well. get some sunshine again across southern counties of england, those temperatures getting into the mid—teens quite easily. stronger winds picking up an easterly wind, always going to be stronger across the northern half of the uk, high pressure blocking things off from scandinavia, low pressure across france maintaining that easterly flow. not much wind, though, further south across the uk, so we get a bit of sunshine here, it shouldn't feel too bad. there won't be too much of that, mind you. we may get some heavy rain developing in the south—east later on, and further north, it's always going to be the eastern side of scotland and north—east england that could be dull and damp, still quite cold as well. still got the same sort of weather pattern, low pressure to the south of us, high pressure to the north and across scandinavia, keeping the stronger easterly winds this time, more for northern and eastern areas of scotland, where we'll see some

more rain developing probably on friday, pushing across northern england for a time. a little bit brighter further south. eventually some warmth when the sun does come out, but still the potential for some showers across england and wales. so quite a range of temperatures — for most of us, a disappointing week ahead into the weekend. it's more likely to be wet and windy for northern and western areas of the uk. warmer, drier and brighter in the south—east. is hello. it is breakfast with louise minchin and charlie stayt. the issue of the chemical weapons attack in syria leads to beta exchanges in the un with russia warning of brave repercussions if action is taken against the assad regime. —— bitter

exchanges. also coming up this morning. a growing and amount of evidence from vigilantes groups is being used to help the police catch paedophiles despite opposition to their methods from senior officers. good morning. manufacturers say they are worth
