is doing hisjob. that brexit is still on track and he is doing his job. he is doing his job and he seems to throw resignation threats. where is the unity? the one thing we land from the referendum is that the country is divided. this lack of unity it really disheartening. who is that 1-0 to? really disheartening. who is that 1—0 to? this is not a mandatory backstop plan. let's see what happens. he is mining and he is staying which some will argue is it is better to show him the door and let him resign. boris johnson wants a meltdown. this story came out at this dinner party secretly recorded

saying that a brexit meltdown may be a meltdown. in the last year we have been looking at this unfold and she seems to rescue things at the last minute. we'll as have at least time pressures . minute. we'll as have at least time pressures. quite seem amendments in the comments and time bills and we get worried. and i want certainty for business in the uk. it seems very tumultuous. i in cheek to see what happens. a huge story by the uk but reflects what is going on on high streets. online shopping has really had an impact on the high street but the house of fraser story isa street but the house of fraser story is a sad tale of lack of investment, perhaps the wrong fashion buying techniques and high rents. they pay higher rents and did these deals

when high—street was strong and now they are coming back to bite them. it is part of their strategy. big place in the premium part of and every town and that is the rent they pgy- every town and that is the rent they pay. any brands in the uk that do that. —— many. any company is at technology company now, period. trying to embrace the changes that technology is bringing. relying purely on high street is an issue. i guess when i go to schools and see empty high schools is you are seeing these large stores closing and we are seeing 6000 jobs lost straightaway which is really sad. big department stores likejohn lewis, who invested online and in

their stores, they have come out pretty unscathed from the slowdown. with foreign buys and investors that they are doing better. exactly. there are many who are embracing that. another question for the country and the world, how we will look at the people who have lost theirjobs. what are we going to do about this, a whole generation of people without jobs about this, a whole generation of people withoutjobs and we will have to fix that. i am sure will be more about this. the china morning post and this story has been rumbling on. the lift curbs on zte, the telecom giant from china. many saying this isa giant from china. many saying this is a company the us was dealing with

and now it is changing its mind and using it as a poll in the trade war with china. is it that affect accusation? i mean, what is going on? we have the g7 meeting where we haven't donald trump causing an uproar with his allies on trade and using words like national security as the reasons why he will impose ta riffs as the reasons why he will impose tariffs and then we have a company in china, the second largest makers of phones, accused of corporate espionage and they brought in these measures and pay $1.1; billion donald trump and lift the sanctions. 0r measures and pay $1.1; billion donald trump and lift the sanctions. or are members of the republican party who are upset and irritated by this. —— there. alienating allies. but they have a very different approach to china, reconsider the. they going to

be making sure the right complaints people and bedded within zte. be making sure the right complaints people and bedded within zt e. will that reassure congress? who knows. if they are chosen by the usa at... so many of these measures sound fantastic but it is all about the important asian, the devil is in the details. keep your friends close by your enemies even closer. let's see what happens. i am interested to see what happens. i am interested to see what happens. i am interested to see what happens in the next couple of days. let's talk about drivers. in the japan times, it looks like, according to this story, 60,000 seniors in japan were according to this story, 60,000 seniors injapan were flagged as having dementia in these new street driving test. brought in because of huge number of traffic accidents

involving senior citizens. it is interesting. what do we concern ourselves with? safety first. we wa nt to ourselves with? safety first. we want to be safe and there have been increasing rate traffic accident until they eat were brought in. people have died because of traffic incidents. if we can prove through cognitive functioning tests that these people should not be on the road then i would argue it is a good thing but how do you enforce these? they have done a good job testing these people very quickly. if they are making roads safer i do not know how you can argue against that. are making roads safer i do not know how you can argue against thatm you are over 75 you wanted live around that if you have dementia, you have dementia. what else can we do to make sure that you are well

looked after. this is about diagnosis coming through something that was never intended to diagnose dementia. you are into education, it is what you do. french schoolchildren banned from using mobile phones in class. this is emmanuel macron‘s policy. it shows a study shows that test scores improved by 6.4%. the equivalent of five additional days in the school year and there was a snap poll in the uk and 64% of uk teachers had that issued follow suit. every day, we haven't an eyepiece of software, you learn that nobody lands of their mobile phone in the classroom. it is a problem and are valid argument but what about schools without the

infrastructure, will mobile phones work. the poorest parts of the country, we can see that it is i didn't ict suite, the desktop computer, a tablet... keep you enforce it? you can absolutely do it. you are not going to bring your mobile phone is, there is detention. it is not law but the railways to do it. i do not think it is... it does not have to be loyal, put it that way. thank you very much indeed. thank you for watching the briefing. hello there, good morning. in wales, it's just been the warmest day of the year so far. here, 27 degrees. in scotland, we had some slow—moving, thundery downpours yesterday, bringing

some flash—flooding. and, across the southern half of the uk, much more cloud, and there's sufficient cloud over the next few days to bring the chance of one or two heavy and perhaps thundery showers. again, the worst of the storms, the more widespread storms, are likely to stay over the near continent. but we're looking at a few home—grown downpours in the next couple of days or so. difficult to pick out exactly where they'll be. but we've got this zone of weakness on friday, from wales up towards the humber and north yorkshire, where we could see a few more showers developing, perhaps towards the south—west of england, too, hence the odd slow—moving downpour across western parts of northern ireland, and particularly central scotland — some thunderstorms here. large parts of the uk will be dry. best of the sunshine, south—west scotland, north—west england, and later in the south—east of england. those storms in the north will tend to fade away, most of the showers in england and wales fading away, too. but a fair bit of low cloud coming into eastern scotland and eastern england overnight, and a chillier night, actually, across eastern scotland and north—east england. quite a grey start here, as well.

a lot of that low cloud, misty weather, will tend to burn off. we'll see sunny spells developing more widely. very few showers on saturday, the bulk of them are going to be in scotland, and these again will be heavy and thundery. not moving at all, so if you catch one, you will know about it. but it seems to be all or nothing again, and most places will have a dry day. now, we've got very little wind to stir things up at all, or to move things around. this lower pressure towards biscay threatens to bring some thunderstorms our way. at the moment, it looks like on sunday they're more likely to be through the english channel, affecting the channel islands. the odd shower further north, but again the bulk of the showers will be in scotland. probably more widespread showers on sunday, and again, heavy and thundery. but large parts of the uk dry, and temperatures into the low 20s. now, at one stage it looked like this weather front will bring all these downpours into the south—east of the uk. but now, we've got sufficient high pressure to just keep that at bay. mind you, it's not far away from kent on monday.

0therwise, some good spells of sunshine. again, no wind at all. a few showers, not quite as heavy this time for scotland, but one through the pennines, too, and temperatures 22, maybe even 23 degrees. and, looking ahead to tuesday and wednesday, not a great deal changes. most places will be dry. temperatures in the low 20s in the sunshine. from mid—week, though, things may change. hello, this is breakfast, with steph mcgovern and jon kay. borisjohnson is secretly recorded saying that there could be a brexit meltdown. he also referred to the treasury as the heart of the remain campaign. good morning, it's friday, the 8th ofjune. also this morning: fears for england fans travelling to russia for the world cup as the government is accused of making vague reassurances
