its front page headline says "economy at a menopausal moment". the deputy governor of the bank of england has suggested britain's economy is entering this new phase after passing peak productivity. we will explain what the financial times details the findings of report into the demise of government contractor, carillion. the big story here in the uk. the 100—page report accuses the government, regulators, and carillion board members of failing in their responsibilities swiftly moving on to the new york times. it features a story on anne frank. new pages from her diary have been found and published. they contain a handful of dirty jokes and her thoughts on sex. the pages were covered with gummed brown paper, to hide her risque writing from her family. and finally. a study has found that disruption to the body's internal clock may put people at increased risk of mood disorders. is that simply you are moody when

you are tired? with me is liam booth—smith, chief executive at localis — an independent think tank. he is back, as promised. you know sleep deprivation, don't you? you have two little children.” sleep deprivation, don't you? you have two little children. i have got one. maybe there is one i do not know about. you have one little girl, so you have been there, done that. we've had lots of people writing in today saying that they have children and therefore i do not sleep very much. we will get to that. but first, no surprise at all, a very emotive photograph. an eight—month—old infant one of the first to die in monday at‘s unrest. there is a reason why us presidents have from time to time occasionally campaigned on the issue of recognising jerusalem as the capital of israel but all of them, up until the current time, had deferred the issue essentially for precisely this reason, which is that it will
5:47 am
polarise even more so an already highly polarised situation. the view seems to be that the wider international community is sort of in agreement that this was not very sensible mood. people as mild—mannered as emmanuel macron have condemned the violence against p rotesto rs. have condemned the violence against protestors. yes, in this article goes a long list of world leaders condemning what happened at the beginning of the week. the un security council held a meeting yesterday but when it comes to an independent enquiry into what happened, the us is sort of blocking that. many would, obviously there is all the accusations and counter accusations on the israelis, from the palestinians, but one point that the palestinians, but one point that the israelis always make is why do mothers bring their infant babies to these areas, where there is unrest, where there is protest, where there is likely to be violence, where there is likely to be tear gas, etc et cetera ? there is likely to be tear gas, etc et cetera? why do they bring their eight—month—old child to these things? your guess is as good as
5:48 am
mine. exactly. as he said, there are so mine. exactly. as he said, there are so many kind of counter accusations around. did hamas pay people to attend the protests and cause violence? it is incredibly... a complex situation. writes, meghan markle's dad in heart operation. it is the front page of the metro, it is the front page of the metro, it is the front page of many papers in the uk and many papers around the world. the international media is there, you cannot walk down the street without bumping into a camera crew and they are from all over the world. they had so many different languages. this is the big question, will become or not? it would appear not, which is incredibly sad because it is his daughter getting married. and she is very close to her dad. it is his daughter getting married. and she is very close to her dadm seems so and she is very close to her dadm seems so from the show, it is tmz, the website in the us, it has been
5:49 am
found out that he has now had a heart operation and it is according to the operation almost impossible for him to attend. i'm sure that he was embarrassed that there was a story about him sort of collaborating with the paparazzi to sell pictures. the good news is he is not a savvy media person. not all. and he has been caught out and it has cost quite dearly, ijust feel sorry him. me too and as i say, oui’ feel sorry him. me too and as i say, our coverage begins tomorrow morning. it will keep a close eye on any news, if it is confirmed that meghan markle's father has to have a heart operation. the daily telegraph, the economy at a menopausal moment. it is quite a brave were to use i would say on the pa rt brave were to use i would say on the part of the governor of the reserve bank of england. all sorts of people are saying what you mean by that?” will have a go at trying to decipher what he means by that. peak productivity, that is output per hour. silly productive and we are
5:50 am
menopausal, are we? don't go there. to entrap me on that one. we have a wagon productivity such as we have been experiencing in the uk and other western economies for the last ten years, and that is because we're waiting for the next big industrial shift to happen, and that is what he is trying to point out here. and i supposedly coincide an economy in a menopausal moment with brexit, that is not necessarily the best scenario going forward but then some might argue, actually the uk economy is doing extremely well given the circumstances and the lack of clarity about what is ahead to businesses. yeah, absolutely. the uk economy, i think even david cameron was saying a few months ago that was not as bad as he thought would be. the big concern here is if you do not have a growing economy, you are not have a growing economy, you are not many in the tax receipts to enable you to expand public spending, things like healthcare, in the way that the country will need.
5:51 am
is now take a look at carillion, which is a really big story in the uk. the collapse of this company, that has really big implications in terms of the loss ofjobs, the many, many big contracts, its proliferation across public life and private life in the uk and elsewhere. there has been investigation into what went wrong at what level. what has been found? this story focuses very heavily on the role of these sorts of advisory bodies. the story you saying that the accountants are arguing that actually, they have quite a case to a nswer actually, they have quite a case to answer and the report itself is recommending that they broke up will split up their audit functions from then on audited services. and the founder of the treasury select committee, who is now the head of the competition market authority, has said he is going to look at the dominance of these funds. it is a
5:52 am
really big issue actually, notjust the roles they play in order but also in terms of advising on business strategy as well. absolutely, and advising as the business health and whether or not this company should be given contracts this company should be given co ntra cts by this company should be given contracts by the government. at the very top level, some of the executives on the board of carillion we re executives on the board of carillion were held at fault and there is a recommendation that they should not be on the boards of companies in future, things like that. this issue will not go away. 0k, lots more on carillion on our website. anne frank, a couple of pages have been published that she wrote between the ages of 13 and 15. yeah, the age at which you are starting to use dirty jokes and all the rest of its. absolutely, that kind of prepubescent phrase and all out. it isa
5:53 am
prepubescent phrase and all out. it is a great story, isn't it? the thing about this from just kind of reading around it is that there is a real sort of literary value to these text and it is quite interesting approach as a writer. i think what is really fascinating is that she is still speaking to us at all these yea rs. still speaking to us at all these years. yeah, is brilliant. we have got a picture there of the pages, you can see them there on our website. anne frank house has a twitter account, as you can see. let's get onto this bodyclock links the mood disorders. i will put out there that i get up at 1:50am in the morning in order to be here and get on airat 5am, morning in order to be here and get on air at 5am, which is absolutely bonkers. many ask me how i am able to do it. there are so many studies out there about the lack of sleep or normal eight—hour sleep at night time, that it is bad for your health. what is this one tell us? well, we all know that lack of sleep is not makers are particularly happy bunch but what this tells us is that if you disrupt your circadian rhythms, you asleep patterns, you
5:54 am
are between six and 10% more likely to be diagnosed with a mood disorder. and they are quite serious ones, they talking about bipolar, serious depression, that kind thing. but i think what is at the bottom of the story which should it is all very... the silver lining. the silver lining, that is the word. because many of the participants we re because many of the participants were quite old and the study, that means that the results were actually a little bit questionable because most disorders were diagnosed before the age 24. and they are really looking into this in a lot detail because of the changing patterns of work and behaviour. we are running out of time. many young people on these devices all night, interrupting their sleep. they do so much coming in, great to see you. thank you too. have a good day. hello again, good morning. nearly all of us still look like being dry through the rest of this week and into the weekend as well.
5:55 am
the temperatures are going to change a bit and we've got some chilly nights on the way, but here in hampshire, we had the highest temperature on tuesday, 23.7 celsius, but the next few days will be cooler by day as well as by night, but a lot of dry weather and some sunshine around as well. now, the cooler air comes around this area of high pressure following that weather front there. ahead of that weather front, we've got some stronger winds, making it feel chillier across many parts of england and wales, together with all this cloud, so cloudier skies. on the weather front itself, there's not much rain around, as you can see, at all. as you head further north, increasing amounts of sunshine, perhaps in north wales, certainly across northern england and some good sunny spells for scotland and northern ireland, where temperatures will be lower across the board than they were on tuesday, and quite a significant drop for eastern scotland. quite a chilly wind blowing into the evening and overnight across eastern and south—eastern parts of england. the cloud tends to break up and remember, we've pushed in some cooler air,
5:56 am
so with the clearer skies, temperatures will fall away. it'll be a chillier night in the south. and across scotland and northern ireland, we could be starting at one or two degrees on thursday morning but plenty of sunshine around. probably infilling a bit of cloud for scotland and northern ireland on thursday, but a dry day, the winds not as strong across the south. it will feel just a little bit warmer. maybe those temperatures not showing too much sign of creeping up just yet, but i think it'll be a bit warmer on friday. high pressure still in charge of our weather, these weather fronts not really making much progress into the uk, it's the western isles that'll see more cloud, maybe a spot of rain on friday, otherwise a dry day with some sunshine, maybe seeing a little more cloud developing across east anglia and the south—east on friday but tending to become a bit warmer, as i say, so18, 19 degrees through the central belt of scotland, similar temperatures across parts of southern england as well. now, into the weekend, i've put the jet stream on here because the position of the jet stream means we're steering areas of low pressure to the north—west of the uk, keeping that high pressure firmly in charge.
5:57 am
now, there are some showers nearby over the near continent. we're not expecting them to arrive in windsor or in the south—east of england. should be fine for the royal wedding. there'll be a fair bit of cloud, mind you, but it'll be a bit warmer, temperatures 20, maybe even 21 degrees. a decent day pretty much across the board on saturday. even into sunday and monday, very little rain heading our way. it's mostly high pressure, quite warm in the sunshine. the winds, if anything, coming in from the near continent. hello, this is breakfast, with dan walker and louise minchin. north korea threatens to pull out of landmark talks with president trump if america asks it to give up nuclear weapons. it comes after pyonyang cancelled today's planned summit with south korea in protest at its joint military exercises with the us. good morning, it is wednesday 16 may. also this morning:
