the guardian online pages includes a report on former new york city mayor michael bloomberg, who has said he will write a $4.5 million cheque to cover this year's us commitment to the paris climate agreement. the daily telegraph leads with the call from british doctors, urging ministers to do more to tackle child obesity, including banning fast food outlets from opening within 400 meters of every school. and finally, the independent front page has a picture of mo farah, who broke the british record when he came third in yesterday's marathon. it was the hottest ever in terms of temperatures. so let's begin. with me is liam booth—smith, chief executive of independent think tank, localis. covering emmanuel macron‘s visit to washington. interesting, our paris

correspondent looks at this mackerel and that is going on between donald trump and emanuel macron. the story of the never ending handshake. there are two sides to this story, the first is about policy. as we have mentioned, there is the iran nuclear deal and the question of free trade and climate change, areas in which both presidents have been opposing. the other side that is what the story is about, about the personal. there is a consensus of people, a collection of people of a certain prediction that don't like the idea that they might get on personally. i think that is the underlying tension of this story is that they might actually be friends. this policy today coming out on immigration, thatis today coming out on immigration, that is an issue where both the

manual macron and trump have been strong in terms of being restrictive. it is going to french parliament and is quite controversial and some of his own party are against his ideas when it comes to immigration. what i found interesting is he keeps doing his televised interviews where he talks about how he has twisted donald trump's arm or is mind, i would think, donald trump might not the so keen on he is going public saying that he changed the mind of donald trump, when it came to keeping us troops in syria, that is one example. the first way to think about that is, i disagree with you. i don't think donald trump will mind that much and that is because he is a dealmaker. despite all of his media behaviour, ithink a dealmaker. despite all of his media behaviour, i think his skin is thick and he will think tom 0k, media behaviour, i think his skin is thick and he will think tom ok, i will let him have that when. because

realistically, it is in an you're and visiting trump. will resident emmanuel macron have any grounds when he comes to getting his mind about the iran nuclear deal? there is more hope than the paper suggest because today, so far trump's rhetoric has overall ran his reach. we talked about prime minister maggie already, —— theresa may. brexit showdown. a familiar headline. a never-ending story. the thing that is interesting about this story, all about the very pro— brexit cabinet ministers imposing their will on the government and people. what is interesting is that the government doesn't seem to have come to a resolution on the fact that to govern in this country means they have to the consent of the people who don't agree with you. that is the central tension here. i

don't think the prime minister has been able, despite being pretty strong about brexit and having a pretty robust brexiteer approach to it, hasn't quite managed to convince her cabinet colleagues that she really needs it. the times talks about a customs union compromise. since then i would say that downing street has made a statement saying that we are sticking with our plan to leave the customs union, that is where we are headed. is the alternative they don't like. per puzzle of a customs partnership, which is an attempt to manage the northern irish border issue, that are quite trust that. dasher and they don't quite. talking about the financial times, after brack of the brexit debate. one of the reasons why many perhaps averted to leave the european union, it is all about their budget and where the money goes and who gets what. this one is about the eu budget overhaul set to

shift funds to southern european countries like italy and spain, lot of it has been towards eastern european countries, and relatively new members. that is down to measurements. this is that the next budget. historically, money has been apportioned through the coalition policy, funnelled base, based on gross domestic product per head. that has been expanded to other criteria like youth unemployment. they are injecting a sense of the world values to it. the words cohesion and values that will drive the funding. this is something that i think places like germany and france are quite clean on because it sta rts france are quite clean on because it starts to bring into the funding process the formula, things like the impact of the euro crisis and the impact of the euro crisis and the impact of the refugee crisis. for a country like spain, that is a huge. they have been impacted by all

three. youth unemployment is very high and immigration crisis, they have had to take in a lot of people try to flee north africa. and of course we know about their own debt crisis, as it were. it also helps to fill that brexit related funding 93p- fill that brexit related funding gap. no doubt it will increase tensions, many eastern european countries have had elections and they have stuck with the eu because all of the money they get. cash has been a big part of it but also, there are questions on legality as well, which is eastern europe not playing to the same rules as eve ryo ne playing to the same rules as everyone else. michael bloomberg to the rescue. the billionaire who did consider running for president during the last election, but he pulled out because he feared that if he ran them donald trump might get thejob. he got it he ran them donald trump might get the job. he got it anyway. he ran them donald trump might get thejob. he got it anyway. he is coming in with a $4.5 million a cheque to put the money into the pot

that hasn't been going in for this paris climate deal. just that this year, it doesn't cover the full commitment to. i guess he is hoping somebody might follow him. he is saying he will do it. what is this about? is about michael remaining releva nt. about? is about michael remaining relevant. he said at the back end of the story that it is very unlikely that i will run as a presidential candidate, but we all know what that really m ea ns candidate, but we all know what that really means which is i am keeping my options open. what is interesting is that it comes alongside the emmanuel macron bit, which is after trump pulled out, he adopted the phrase make the planet rate again. bash that great. there is quite a lot of synergy. —— great. bash that great. there is quite a lot of synergy. -- great. it is all sort of clever. will keep an eye on that assure. let's talk about the london marathon. i am assuming you didn't run the? and incredible,

amazing event. i haven't done it, i have watched and been on the sidelines many times. but yesterday it must have been so difficult. sidelines many times. but yesterday it must have been so difficultlj saw it must have been so difficult.” saw a lot of the people coming back, i was outside a pub watching very brave people coming back that way wearing their medals. i have not seen wearing their medals. i have not seen how much money it has raised yet but it is a wonderful thing and the people do it to charity and the amount of people who do it in fancy dress. sur mo farah breaking records began, coming in third. —— sir.” dress. sur mo farah breaking records began, coming in third. -- sir. i am not quite sure, there was a story about him being irritated that people worse posted be hanging out waters, what an amazing effort. many

of my colleagues ran, like they do. ido of my colleagues ran, like they do. i do feel a bit under pressure from that point of view. i know i couldn't do it. i couldn't do it either. berry finally, ourtalking point. apparently if your team loses at foot all, the devastation is double the elation if your team wins. i support port vale, so it is not a happy experience most of the time, to be honest. do you agree with that point? is your relation more than —— elation more than the devastation? it is like gambling, you never a big losses. you always put your money in regardless of. thanks to being on the programme. —— thanks for. thanks for watching the briefing, from me sally bundock, and the rest of the team, goodbye. good morning.

well, yesterday was the last time we'll see anywhere in the uk get above 20 degrees through the week ahead. the kink in the jetstream to the north of us which helped to drag in that unusual warmth through last week is now out of the way, and through the week ahead we'll see the jetstream piling up in the atlantic and move to the south of the uk, putting us on the colder side. what does that mean? well, actually back to more typical weather for the time of year. nothing untoward, nice enough when the sun's out, the sun's got a bit of strength but it does mean we'll see cooler conditions, especially when the rain's around. and certainly cooler conditions to start your monday morning commute, temperatures down into single figures uk—wide, compensated, though, with a bit of sunshine in many areas, particularly to the south and east of the uk. a bit more cloud and overnight showers continuing in northern scotland. some of those will fade for a while. cloud amounts will increase from the west through the day. sticking with sunny spells in eastern parts of the country, but turning greyer. northern ireland, occasional rain through the afternoon, spreading into western scotland, isle of man and western parts of wales too.

like sunday, we'll see temperatures here at around 10—14 degrees. further east, down on what we've seen, but 15—18 celsius still pleasant enough with some sunny spells overhead, and that, of course, for late april. sunshine, though, quickly dissipates during the evening as cloud increases from the west. some occasional rain spreading across most parts of the uk, all linked into this weather system, the bulk of which will have got out of the way by tuesday, but leaving a trailing front to the north of scotland and across southern counties of england. these are the two zones, they start the day on tuesday cloudy. brighter weather southern scotland, northern ireland, and northern england, showers will develop, though, for some through day but whilst we will see a few breaks in the cloud in the south, later on, it rethickens, the cloud does, and it turns grey, misty and damp, wales and south—west england in particular. your temperatures for tuesday, roughly around the teens. could see 17 degrees if you see cloud breaks towards the south—east corner, but even that milder air will be pushed out the way through tuesday night. a little wriggle on the weather front bringing rain for some. that edges out the way into wednesday and puts us into west to north—westerly winds. and in fact, wednesday,

a typical april showers day. most places starting with some sunshine. showers already there in the west, but they'll develop more widely, become heavy with hail and thunder. gusty winds as well. and, as the showers come through, feeling rather cool. temperatures much lower than you've been used to, especially in the east, 11—15 degrees your high. and through wednesday and into the rest of the week, north—westerly winds will dominate. low pressure to the north of us, and that will keep us in a rather showery airflow. as well as being rather cool by day with a mixture of sunshine and showers, showers most dominant to the north, it's going to turn rather chilly by night too. take care. hello, this is breakfast, with dan walker and louise minchin. a lifeline for children suffering at the hands of alcoholic parents. millions of pounds is to be spent getting faster support and better advice to thousands of youngsters at risk from heavy drinkers. good morning, it's monday the 23rd of april.

also this morning: no u—turn. downing street insists the uk will leave the customs union after reports of a cabinet revolt. and in sport, mo farah breaks the british record that's stood for 33 years at the hottest ever london marathon. organisers distributed 4.5 litres of water per person, more than any other mass participation event
