pay gap by creating clearer criteria for awarding bonuses and allowing male bosses to take up flexible working. so let's begin. with me is cornelia meyer, who's ceo of mrl corporation, a business consultancy. let us get stuck in. we have talked quite a bit about the summit and your thoughts on it. let us look at what the media is saying. the time to dedicate a lot of pages to it. donald trump, i believe kimjong—un will deliver a nuclear free career. give us did take on how the summit went. -- korean peninsula. donald trump says this is a great thing. it lacks the statement that they

signed, the agreement that they signed, the agreement that they signed, it totally lacks in specificity. it talks about denuclearisation, but it does not talk about irreversible, complete, and verifiable... which is what we we re and verifiable... which is what we were expecting. it is what we were expecting. it makes one interesting argument. maybe it cannot be irreversible any more because they have gained so much knowledge now. that is the first thing. in many ways i think there is a consensus emerging that it is a light agreement on substance and it depends on what needs to be followed. this article picks up on the extraordinary nature of this meeting and nobody can disagree with that. absolutely. the word historic is overused but actually this was an historic meeting on many levels. and it is always better to talk than not

to talk. in the end, there will a lwa ys to talk. in the end, there will always be losers and winners. in the big winner i see here at is china and maybe north korea, because when you look at it china is very eager to get easier on sanctions. they did not talk about getting easier on sanctions, but north korea came out saying they are getting easier, china came out saying maybe we can go easier now. especially this whole military side. the chinese and the russians have been wanting for the us to withdraw from korea. this is interesting. quite a few of our viewers, so many have been in touch from all over the world, it is great to hear from you. from all over the world, it is great to hearfrom you. quite a from all over the world, it is great to hear from you. quite a few have picked up on the point that china is one of the big winners. some have referred to north korea as being china's puppet, they have gone that far. david says china has big plans and north korea is broke. piece on

the peninsula could have the potential to further reduce us military presence in the far east. that was your concern. many have said they feel this is empty posturing. that is what this person thinks. from chill consumption, it was flag wrapped, it was greener weary —— grin. this video was played out, almost like propaganda before they came onto the stage talking about these two leaders and what they would achieve. he was talking about the potential of the beaches and the real estate... you can take donald trump out of real estate, but not real estate out of donald cole. we could not help himself. the times also says that one of the things one

of the chinese state owned papers came out and said was korea redevelopment will not be a thing for the us, it will be for china and south korea. that was quite clear. interesting. let us look at fox news. fox news is the us media organisation that donald trump loves and some elsewhere in the media say it is just and some elsewhere in the media say it isjust a and some elsewhere in the media say it is just a mouthpiece for the white house at this juncture. especially fox and friends, the morning show. he gave an interview to fox news. newt gingrich talking about donald trump accomplishing more than clinton, bush, and obama combined. i would say yes for china. it has one point. don't underestimate donald trump. look what he has done in terms of capturing the us public and becoming president. and when i look at how he has handled the summit, he has been playing to his space. he has

midterms coming out. when you talk about thejoint midterms coming out. when you talk about the joint military exercises, which it calls wargames, he says you know these assets we are flying out, the big bombers we are flying out from guam, this is so expensive. he is playing to his space. he is talking about bringing the troops home. it is a motive, yes. i could basically hear the screams from tokyo in my office in london. let us talk about the big story in the uk, the very tough date that the prime minister was facing yesterday in parliament with a vote on the eu, changes to the eu withdrawal bill, as it were, that the house of lords was trying to see through. this time she won, it would seem by a whisker. she won by a whisker but she has to get back. she hasn't won outright. what has she promised to win? in the

next few days we will see what she has promised. she needs to put forward her own amendment, which will go again to the lords. in terms of what this looks like, the uk's exit from the european union, in terms of whether we are in or out of the customs union, the single market, how businesses operate, what they can expect in march of next year, we are still none the wiser. there is no clarity. the whole thing about this particular amendment was, well, you can't have a hard brexit if she fails to have an agreement by date x. parliament has more of a say. we are none the wiser. what worries me deeply is we are talking amongst ourselves. we need to be talking to the european union. our discussions are nice, but they will not get us to an agreement. a quick word on tesla. elon musk saying it is tough to have to lay off these

people, 9% of the workforce, reality is kicking in four elon musk. he is a maverick and an extremely clever man... he has now said, he is changing strategy, up to now he said it was about market share. this is i cannot really deliver unless they become sustainably profitable. you look at this... they are burning through cash. this company is burning through cash, has a higher market then gm and produces just a few cars. it is unbelievable. it is unbelievable but so far he has managed to write that unbelievable wave. very quickly, tackle the alpha males. they are calling on britain's banks and other financial firms to battle the alpha male culture. why is there still a story? i used to work in the city, and then i worked in industry, now i do my own thing

to stop i don't believe we are going to stop i don't believe we are going to get there. (all me jaded. i we not making great strides? up is the 250 employees have to put out their... hopefully that will do something. i have not seen it is getting better since i was in the workforce. maybe i am just pessimistic. i don't know. workforce. maybe i am just pessimistic. idon't know. ithink things have improved. i think all that together, with the transparency on gender pay, there is an immense and right now. there is a momentum. and i hope we can get into good end. but we have had so many memento and they never went anywhere. cornelia, i hope you are wrong. thank you for coming in. that is your you soon. —— briefing, so you soon. hello there.

wednesday's weather will start off innocuously enough, but there is trouble on the horizon. after some sunny spells through the day, things as we go into the evening will turn very wet and very windy, unusually windy for the time of year. after what has been a relatively quiet spell of weather, thejetstream is breaking back from the west, bringing a lot of cloud from the atlantic. and, where you see these dips in the cloud structure, that is where we are developing some areas of low pressure. this one is going to bring a very wet and windy wednesday night. but, for the time being, we're starting the day under the influence of a ridge of high pressure. so we're going to see a lot of dry weather and some good spells of sunshine through the day. cloud amounts will tend to increase from the west as the day wears on, could just be the odd shower, and then eventually we'll see some rain just splashing into the western side of northern ireland and the west of scotland, the winds starting to pick up here, as well. but ahead of that wet weather, it's going to feel quite pleasant, with highs of 21 or 22 degrees. now, as we go into wednesday evening, it'll stay dry across much of england and wales. but, for northern ireland and scotland, this rain will begin to pile in. you can see the dark blue colours indicating some really heavy downpours, all courtesy of this area of low pressure.

quite a deep low, you can see the isobars really squeezing together. that shows that we're going to see some very windy weather indeed. as we go into the first part of thursday morning, we'll see the outbreaks of rain moving eastwards, and very strong and gusty winds for northern ireland, the far north of england and particularly scotland, where there could be wind gusts of 60 mph or more, even for places like glasgow or edinburgh. that could well cause some travel disruption for thursday morning's rush hour, gales or severe gales, so do tune into your bbc local radio station to find out if there are any impacts where you are. now, the wet and windy weather will slowly ease as we go on through the day on thursday. so aside from a few showers, especially in the north, it's actually going to turn into a decent day. good spells of sunshine and temperatures — well, cool and fresh across northern areas, but actually, down towards the south—east, still getting up to around 22 degrees. then we look ahead to friday, a quieter day with light winds. some spells of sunshine around. some outbreaks of patchy rain, perhaps, across northern ireland and the north—west of scotland. best of the sunshine likely to be found towards the south—east, the highest of the temperatures here as well. and then, as we look towards the weekend, it's certainly not going

to be completely dry. there will be some showers around at times. there should equally be some spells of sunshine, and temperatures in places up into the 20s. hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and louise minchin. a day of drama, as theresa may escapes a damaging brexit defeat. but the prime ministerfaces more pressure from her own mps over the terms of a deal struck with tory rebels. good morning, it's wednesday 13th june. the other headlines this morning: coming to america. north korea reports that kim jong—un has accepted an invitation to the white house.
