wired cover ambitious plans set out by the president of spacex. they quote gwynne shotwell telling a tedtalk they'll be flying people from the us to china via space in a decade and it'll cost the same as a regular flight. and the guardian on why we may all soon be forgetting our passwords. biometrics, web cams and apps may soon be accepted ways of accessing your online accounts, which means we can finally forget all of those passwords! nina's back with me to look through those stories. let's start with the telegraph. i have to say, i was looking at the papers this morning, just about every front page has got donald trump ata every front page has got donald trump at a picture of him on it all the tweet on it, this story is dominating. it is. we at the wall

streetjournal are preparing dominating. it is. we at the wall street journal are preparing our coverage for it because people are expecting a decision any time soon. the uk government is today debating on whether tojoin the the uk government is today debating on whether to join the us. that means that theresa may is meeting with her cabinet today. parliament is on the easter recess, all of the mps return on monday. that is a question for her. many reporting in the press that she will now go ahead and support a us led dilatory action without involving parliament. —— military. according to the telegraph thatis military. according to the telegraph that is covered by the royal prerogative so she actually does not have too asked parliament in this case. i guess she will seek the backing of her cabinet and sound hellfire mps would support such a

move. it still remains to be seen what targets exactly will be hit according to the telegraph and other newspapers. the pentagon is still assessing what areas to strike and there is the question of what will happen really dumb act with russia because they said they will intercept any missile. —— what will happen with russia. one year ago it was a very specific target and the russians were warned in at vance said they were able to move their trips away and make sure they were not impacted by this time it to be very different. last year we saw russian troops were informed 90 minutes ahead of the strikes and at the time the us air force was trying to avoid any military aircraft at the time. it remains to be seen what it might look like this time, given that the exchange between russia and

the exchange has become more heated in the expulsion of russian diplomats in the us and we have seen more trump tweets. they are much food for thought. let's look at bloomberg. the huge challenge facing brexit. they are talking about new analysis that chimes with the view of the park is of the british government, those parts that would like to remain as closely aligned to the european union as possible. the analysis is coming from the eurasia group. i was looking at it and i was quite surprised because i didn't actually see much new stuff in there. many of the arguments that they are making have been well known

for a while. it is becoming more apparent that the irish question has been something that the uk government doesn't have an obvious solution for and if the uk was to stay in the customs union, that problem would be alleviated, even though last month she repeated again that brexit would mean taking... brexit means brexit, that is her i—liner. brexit means brexit, that is her 1-liner. and she would take it out of the customs union. according to eurasia group, there will be a u—turn by her ahead of the tory party conference in september. we shall watch this space. it keeps giving. let's look at mark zuckerberg. the new york times is covering this and i know you have and so have we at the bbc. the question is, how has he done? we talked about this earlier, what has done is the new york times thinking on this? they were focusing on the

slight difference in the style of questioning he was receiving on tuesday and yesterday by the members of the house of representatives, who we re of the house of representatives, who were a bit more tough... a bit more savvy. yes, they got a bit more tough on him is the big they spent quite a bit of time talking about this question, how far european data regulation that comes into force in may... regulation that comes into force in may. . . that regulation that comes into force in may... that is gdpr. yes, and how far that could extend into larger parts of facebook which could be the solution to this question of how much regulation there should be. solution to this question of how much regulation there should hem is interesting because one of the discussions we were having yesterday is that we were looking at this in the business unit and many of our tea m the business unit and many of our team has been covering this. to what extent to those who are using facebook are they actually fussed

about any of this? to what extent are they just carrying about any of this? to what extent are theyjust carrying on as normal? i have asked the question this morning and quite a bit of our viewers have said i have left or i have never joined. but viewers have said i have left or i have neverjoined. but the vast majority are just carrying on as normal. it is noise in the background and they like the fact that the free they get the service, this connectivity with their friends and they accept the fact that they make it very specific advertisements targeted that they may or may not ta ke targeted that they may or may not take notice of all respond to. —— they get this free service. there have been quite a number of users that have seen their data compromise. —— compromised. how many more people to see it compromised to say, ok... when you say it is compromised, it depends where you're

putting out there. if it is out there, it is out there and that is in the public domain, in a sense. and you have privacy settings, but i think many of each younger generations who are so busy on social media, not necessarily facebook, they are not bothered about all of their lives being out there. i think that has offered an interesting point, there is quite a difference to how we treat data these days and people are voluntarily sharing pretty much everything. that of course doesn't necessarily say that it is ok for facebook to have creatures and to also not be clear on what their privacy policies are. —— breaches. although people are less fussed about their privacy, this is, in the end it's something that has concerned people. the ceo of space x

has done a tad talk and says that she is thinking bigger than elon musk. she sounds like quite a character. i was not aware of her before, this is quite an interesting read. she was saying, definitely going to happen that the company might be flying people from cities in the us to china within ten years. within a0 minutes and landing 5— ten kilometres from the city centre, very close and convenient. she was saying that she wants to fly to riyad in a day and be back home to dinner. let's look at the guardian. passwords could become a thing of the past. music to make years. what will replace them. —— music to my

ears. there will be new standards currently being worked on, where you log in via bluetooth or usb, so you are receiving, typing in your username and receiving a notification on your phone that you are tapping into then you are logged in the. it is fine as long as your phone is working. and as long as somebody doesn't still the other information you have. there is a lwa ys information you have. there is always that issue. thank you very much. thank you for your views and thoughts on facebook and for watching the briefing, i will see you soon. watching the briefing, i will see you soon. have a lovely day. hello.

there is a change on the way, something brighter and significantly warmer in ourforecasts. but that change will be slow, will be gradual. so on thursday, for many, it's going to be another cloudy day. mostly dry, though. you can see from the satellite picture what's going on. we've got an area of low pressure down here to the south, areas of cloud being flung around it, and this little area of slightly thicker cloud here has been producing some outbreaks of patchy rain and drizzle, which will continue to drift northwards and westwards during thursday morning. generally we start the day with a lot of cloud, some mist, and murk, and drizzle, some hill fog, and most places will stay disappointingly grey as the day goes on. but there will be exceptions. here's a closer look at thursday afternoon. the north—west of scotland should do very nicely for sunshine, could well get to 12 degrees there in stornoway. more cloud lapping onto the coast of aberdeenshire and down into north—east england, with some spots of rain and drizzle. northern ireland likely to stay quite cloudy, as will much of north—west england, the midlands and wales. but, for the south—west of wales, certainly the south—west of england, should see something a bit brighter.

and things may brighten up a little bit towards the south—east, as well, later in the day. and then, during thursday evening, some showers are likely to trundle in towards the south—east of england. could be the odd rumble of thunder with these. they will then edge northwards as we go on through the night into the early hours of friday. and, with all that cloud around, and the misty, murky, drizzly conditions, it is not going to get cold — 5—9 degrees the overnight lows. now, friday's weather setup is essentially the same one that we've had for much of this week — high pressure anchored across scandinavia, low pressure down to the south, throwing this frontal system northwards. so we're going to see some showery rain across northern england and scotland during friday. something drierfollowing on from the south, albeit generally quite cloudy, although if the skies do brighten across southern parts of england and south wales late in the day, that could just spark off the odd hefty shower later on. those temperatures, if anything, beginning to climb a little bit. could get to 15 degrees there in london, and not quite as chilly by this stage along those north sea coasts, and that trend of things getting slowly but surely warmer continues as we go on through the weekend.

it won't be wall—to—wall sunshine, but i think there will be some brighter spells. equally, a little bit of showery rain around at times. so, for the weekend, then, warming up slowly but surely. some sunshine, equally the chance for some showers, but let me show you what happens next week. because we develop this southerly wind, and that is expected to waft some really warm air in our direction. we could well get into the low to possibly mid—20s. that will feel like spring. hello, this is breakfast, with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. theresa may summons the cabinet to an emergency meeting today to discuss military action against syria. after a suspected chemical attack, the prime minister is reported to be ready to commit british forces without the approval of parliament. the united states says there is no set timetable for strikes on syria, and all options are on the table. good morning, it is

thursday 12 april. also this morning: the daughter of a former russian spy posioned in salisbury has rejected an offer of help from moscow. universal credit is failing the self—employed, according to one debt charity this morning.
