democrats have been visiting immigration facilities to meet with families that have been separated. in the last few hours, both first lady melania trump and former first lady laura bush have issued statements condemning the practice. on the front page of the guardian, british pm theresa may's promise of extra funds for the nhs from a brexit dividend are being widely ridiculed, with questions over how the government will actually fund the commitment. and finally, on bbc‘s website, more bad publicity for tesla, with one of its cars filmed while engulfed in fire in california. telsa said it would investigate what it calls an extraordinarily unusual occurrence. with me is alpesh patel, from investment company praefinium

partners. lots to get our teeth into this morning, and is very difficult subject of migration for europe. in germany, of course, angela merkel is facing a showdown within her own coalition but is calling for crisis talks across the board in europe. well, you might have guessed from the colour of my skin i will not be anti immigration but i have a couple of interesting solutions for her. one is, i look at the statistics and the map of where these migrants are going, and in fact germany pretty much takes in more than the rest of europe. hungary, because it is a border country, takes in an awfully large number. what about portugal, finland, ireland, whose prime minister is the son of immigrants, as well? negligible numbers, whether you base it on gdp or your current population, because you don't want to be flooded by us foreigners. and

here is another solution. what about saudi arabia, what about united arab emirates, what about countries where the people have religious and ethnic similarities, incredibly rich countries, who have a very small population and could do with a heck ofa population and could do with a heck of a lot more people. at what about them? how do we get the people there? they have legal obligations. they are getting on boats and travelling across to... not the ones from afghanistan and iraq. they are neighbouring the arabic countries, they are not going there. that is not to say that europe doesn't have obligations, it is a $17 trillion economy and the richest trading bloc in the world. it has moral and legal obligations but if you want to alleviate some of the pressure, angela merkel is absolutely right. let's spread some of the cost around europe, but not just let's spread some of the cost around europe, but notjust europe, but rich neighbouring countries. at there needs to be europewide discussion about this, don't you

think? the issue of aquarius, which was at sea. god bless the spanish. for over a week because it tried to dockin for over a week because it tried to dock in italy and nu interior minister, who is newly elected, said absolutely not —— new interior minister. to put in perspective, italy this year has taken 15,000 migrants coming across from north africa. they have been very generous, like i say. it is a very difficult square to circle, a very difficult square to circle, a very difficult subject to overcome, when you have such strong opinions. difficult subject to overcome, when you have such strong opinionslj think you have such strong opinions.” think it is very simple. a few more in portugal, finland, saudi arabia and the uae. it sounds very simple on paper but when it comes to very strong opinions within the different countries in europe, in hungary, for example. i didn't say to take more into hungary. take more into portugal, and into saudi arabia. it

just needs more co—ordination. portugal, and into saudi arabia. it just needs more co-ordination. the meantime, angela merkel is having to deal with this within her own coalition. are you glued to the world cup? i did a lot of research. does that mean you were not glued to it? i was watching, does that mean you were not glued to it? iwas watching, and does that mean you were not glued to it? i was watching, and the mexicans we re it? i was watching, and the mexicans were phenomenal. i had my baby boy with me so i couldn't really shout when they scored. scoring against the germans, contrary to the previous story, was nice when you are an england supporter. of course, it is very early on. smiling now, give it a few more hours until england has played. nobody is being knocked out at this point. what do you make of it so far? two countries which know a lot about walls, and when it came to this match, the mexicans were great. apparently it registered on the seismic registers, so many mexicans jumped registered on the seismic registers, so many mexicansjumped up, i presume that the final whistle or when the goal happened, that you had a mini earthquake. which is phenomenal. a country which has been

taking a bit of a battering from its neighbours, what fantastic news. and if the americans had let him a few more mexican immigrants, they might have qualified for the world cup, not that they will know what it is. who is your money on? england, obviously, to go all the way and win it. is there a sweepstake? well, my business partners are german, and we haven't had a chat since this result, because obviously it was the weekend. so we will see. but they are actually very polite, germans. in the meantime, for mexico, a lovely bit of good news in terms of how their football team has done. and contrary to what trump was saying, they are not a bunch of reticent terminals. in the meantime, this next story is fox news's coverage of the pressure on president trump in terms of his immigration policy, the way they are treating those who are coming over from the mexican border into the us, this zero tolerance policy where

they are taken straight into detention and kids are separated from parents. well, fox news wouldn't call it pressure, because they are the media wing of the republican party, donald trump's media wing, according to me, and i am right. what is happening is, and it isa am right. what is happening is, and it is a very american way of doing things, when you have legal obligations like the 1951 international treaty on refugees, and a whole host of others, what you do is you just make it more difficult. you say we are allowing in refugees and people seeking asylum, which we are legally obligated to do, except we will separate them from their children. america is two countries, it always has been. you have the ones who supported slavery and then segregation. these neo— segregationists, because that is what they are now, they are the ones who have the man in the white house. and so all respect to the democratic

process , and so all respect to the democratic process, this is the minority which one it. but it is not good headlines for president trump as he heads for mid—term elections. for president trump as he heads for mid-term elections. which is really new to him! it is good headlines, because it's what his base wants to see. even if they are in detention, they don't necessarily want to see children being separated from their pa rents. children being separated from their parents. it allows his supporters to say tough president, he is making america great and he is willing to do what it takes. if he puts them in concentration camps, which these are not nice places he is in, they will get more votes. but they are nothing like the detention centres in the southern states of the us, anything like concentration camps, let's make that clear. and in the uk, many papers looking at theresa may's announcement of more funds for the nhs. she is prioritising the health service in england. £20 billion a year. the guardian's take on this is

it isa year. the guardian's take on this is it is a brexit dividend, which is what many brexiteers campaigned on, ahead of our referendum on membership. that money would pour into the nhs if we leave europe. membership. that money would pour into the nhs if we leave europem is way too early to tell, because the deal has not been done. some are saying we will never find the money, others saying see? we told you so. like angela merkel, theresa may has factions she is trying to keep hold of. either way, the good news, it can of. either way, the good news, it ca n always of. either way, the good news, it can always be better news, is the focus on the nhs and more money going in. we really need to look at a lot of that hopefully going into technologies as an investment, as opposed to spending, but looking at how we can make it out for the end—user, using whatever the latest innovations in technology are. i was at number ten just last week and a bunch of tech companies were then not just for the nhs

bunch of tech companies were then notjust for the nhs but bunch of tech companies were then not just for the nhs but for revolutionising how governments operate, making it more efficient for them. really quickly, tesla on fire. the uk director's colour burst into fla m es fire. the uk director's colour burst into flames in california. you don't wa nt to into flames in california. you don't want to famous man's car burning. are you a tesla fan? i have been inside one. it is like a spaceship. they are a great toy and i hope they succeed for what they are trying to do. there is no bad news. if you we re do. there is no bad news. if you were going to buy one, you are still going to buy one. how many vw cars catch fire? we don't know! thank you so much for being in this morning. thank you for your company, i will see you very soon. goodbye. well, after a fairly cloudy weekend, some of us will be waking up to some decent sunshine first thing on monday morning, but not absolutely everywhere.

and as far as the weather goes for the week ahead, well, it looks like summer is going to return to southern and central part of the uk. certainly warming up by tuesday and wednesday. the north, however, unsettled with some rain. now, this is what's happening right now. there's still a lot of cloud there in the atlantic, and it is pushing in the direction of the uk. so during the course of this morning and this afternoon, the clouds in some areas will actually increase after that bright and sunny start. so this is what it looks like through the early hours. we still have cloud in south—eastern and southern areas. mist and murk as well. by the time we get to 6:00pm, largely clear skies in many western and northern areas. and then, through the morning, we will see a atlantic winds once again dragging the cloud, and some of this cloud will be thick enough to produce a little bit of light rain and drizzle. the north—west of scotland, additionally, very windy. around the coast of the highland, winds up to gale—force. and temperatures on monday getting up to 25 degrees in the south—east, still fairly fresh in the north. this warm weather, it looks like it will be warming up in the southern half of the uk. you can see the warm air

coming in from the south, but it never really reaches scotland or northern ireland. it takes almost a turn and ends up in europe. humid and warm winds from the south—west. with that also comes quite a bit of cloud, maybe some spots of rain. but the weather front here that separates the cooler air in the north and that in the south will be drifting across northern ireland and eventually into scotland. and that spells rain for places like glasgow a little bit later in the day. wednesday, the weather front is expected to sink a little bit further south across the country. that means that the area of warmth across the south of the uk will also be pushed a little bit towards the south. so here's the weather front. behind it, we've got fresh air in place in scotland, northern ireland and northern england. cloudy conditions with a few spots of rain. and then the extreme south—east here retains the heat on wednesday. the weather front be pushing the heat further south. look how very hot it is across the near continent. so temperatures on wednesday probably getting to around 26, perhaps 27 celsius. in newcastle, only around about 16 degrees, so quite a bit fresher,

contrasting across the uk. by thursday, high pressure establishes across the uk. this means dry weather, but it will turn a tad cooler for us. goodbye. hello this is breakfast, with charlie stayt and louise minchin. the wait is almost over. england make their debut at the 2018 world cup. manager gareth southgate's says his young squad are "prepared, focused and ready" to take on tunisia tonight. england ready to get involved in a tournament that has been just brilliant so far. goals, incidents and shocks. the latest came in moscow as germany were stunned by mexico. the holders beaten 1—0 in their opening match. good morning, it's

monday the 18th of june. also this morning: with theresa may under pressure to explain how she'sgoing
