the group says more than 22,000 singaporeans are self—employed and there is a need for better income protection schemes. the guardian has some sad news today. koko, the gorilla that learned sign language and formed several celebrity friendships while in captivity in the us, has died aged 46. so let's begin. with me is 0liver cornock, editor in chief at the oxford business group. walker. we started bloomberg's coverage with this visit by melania troll. —— welcome back. she wanted to be the positive side of the administration showing they can do the right thing. it is the jacket that has caused a lot of controversy. specifically what it said on the back of it. on one level she is trying to do some humanitarian work. perhaps he is also going to support her husband, who has made a rare policy reversal. the policy itself is sending mixed messages, but my goodness of this code is as well. she normallyjust throws it over her shoulders, she is wearing this one as well, which seems strangely poignant. there are

some confusion here. there is a lot of opprobrium against this policy of splitting children from their families. i think if she is trying to help it is not much help at all. the only person this has probably helped as the brad batten made the jacket. -- the brand that made. it belies what she has been doing. she was the first to speak out against this. apparently this visit was her trip. her people have basically said it isa trip. her people have basically said it is a fuss about nothing, there is no hidden message. donald trump has said something different about it. he has jumped on said something different about it. he hasjumped on saying it is a message to the fake fake news media. i struggle with this. i can't think that someone like this wasn't choreographed within an inch of its life. the fact that she has put eight coat on with a slogan on smacks by the sheer incompetence or unpleasantness. what about the children. it is a mess. it is not clear how they are going to be

reunited and if they can even be reunited and if they can even be reunited with their parents. they are undocumented, nobody knows exactly who they are or where they belong to and their parents are locked up. us law, to add further convocation, has different time periods for the detention of children and adults. the whole thing isa children and adults. the whole thing is a complete mess. step back from this, we have had other stories about migration refugees in europe. i have said this before. we need globally a greater debate about refugees. there is an inexorable drift of people to developed countries that is unsustainable. we need a proper debate about it, whether it be an brexit, europe, the united states, we're having that debate and this will continue. let us debate and this will continue. let us turn to the financial times. this isa us turn to the financial times. this is a story about the boss of intel who has been forced to step down for nondisclosure of an employee is there. it is several years ago. it is not current. it breached the company's is not current. it breached the compa ny‘s code of is not current. it breached the company's code of conduct stop—go absolutely. it is part of a broader

move. we have seen a loss of the stories recently. this is not the first time they become he has had people resign over this. the corporate world's regulations and rules are different. silicon valley has very strict rules. in a media company, such as mine, we probably don't have the same rules. some would argue there is a separation between work and play. all of these things. i would argue that the chairman, the ceo properly cannot have relationship because he will a lwa ys have relationship because he will always be superior to everyone else. it seems that there is absolutely no fraternisation with intel. they have only had six chiefs in all the user business will stop it is a big internal story. it also said something about the way the corporate world is moving forward. we have seen moves in hollywood and other industries as to the relationships between individuals, and this is speaking to a different area of the. senior executives income is around the world will no doubt be thinking of possible past

relationships and whether or not it will come back and bite them. we have been asking viewers this whether or not they have reached a relationship that in their workplace. we have had this in, saying in my office relationships are right all over the shop, and one says anything about it, and employees don't take notice of policies, regardless of what they are. another one says in the workplace the pretence of venice is ha rd workplace the pretence of venice is hard enough to maintain the worst exa m ples hard enough to maintain the worst examples when the no relationship role is dropped in an organisation and someone senior seems to take advantage of it. some mixed views. and people don't always know what their employees to matt —— employed as often. i'm not sure what the bbc‘s is. as often. i'm not sure what the bbc's is. the essence is that these rules are there to prevent people taking advantage and the obvious pulling that could result of that. the daily telegraph. comments from the us ambassador to the uk, basically telling us all to stop

being so defeatist about brexit. basically telling us all to stop being so defeatist about brexitlj was speaking to investors yesterday atan was speaking to investors yesterday at an event in london from overseas, from asia, and while a lot of people, it had to be said, cannot understand the brexit decision, they also cannot understand why britain isn't being more confident in its negotiation. the story we are talking about, investors needing confidence, uncertainty is the devil of investment. we really do need that. the speccy something that i think is important, a bit more confidence —— this speccy. as boris johnson was recorded as saying, saying perhaps if donald trump was negotiating we would be in a different position. that is quite a welcome message. the ambassador is then take inspiration from donald trump. one company is being pessimistic, in the times, airbus. a very european company. frans has a 10% share in the company. —— france. as does germany and spain. thejob

numbers over here in terms of potential losses if it goes, 40,000 people directly employed, another 110 thousand in subsidiary supply chain jobs 110 thousand in subsidiary supply chainjobs as 110 thousand in subsidiary supply chain jobs as well. -- 110,000. 110 thousand in subsidiary supply chainjobs as well. --110,000. if you scratch the surface here, airbus is inherently a european part of the project, part of the eu. they based their uk employees to vote against a brexit, controversially. there is more to this story. it is in a transition period and they say that is too short. i think you would be re— homing some of those supply pay -- chain re— homing some of those supply pay —— chain issues to europe. they took ina china. —— chain issues to europe. they took in a china. we have talked a lot about doing business in china and how difficult is it is —— they are talking about in china. this is a mixed message and i don't think it is all it seems. it is a warning at the moment as well. we turn to the straits times. this is about the gig economy. an assurance that for

companies to offer insurance to offer against income loss. the gig economy has become a much greater pa rt economy has become a much greater part of every gdp that we read. it is growing. it has hit the headlines in the uk recently. precisely because of this. people are self employed and they are claiming rights. there was a legal case last week, farmers in the uk, this is interesting. this is an insurance company, itself a start—up, that is coming up with a product that people who are seldom play can pay into it to cover them when they are sick and ill. that has to be good news. to me it is probably the start of a big new industry. a lot of people now are not just new industry. a lot of people now are notjust in onejob, they might be driving, being a pa, they might have a portfolio ofjobs. be driving, being a pa, they might have a portfolio of jobs. this is welcome news that fall. surprised me because it does not exist already. —— therefore, this is welcome news. it is not something i have come across. but i am not a specialist in this area. every country i go to the

gig economy is growing, disruption ina gig economy is growing, disruption in a different way. absolutely. a sad story to end on in the guardian. koko the gorilla has died at the age of 46. what i found interesting about this as some of the things that koko learn to do that i did not know about. it is a touching story. iam nota know about. it is a touching story. i am not a great fan of animals in captivity. this has taught an awful lot of people about gorillas, who are persecuted and suffering by globalisation and industry and pollution, all sorts of things. robbie williams was friends with this, the late robbie williams, robin williams. sorry. somebody from the red hot chilli peppers will stop people endorsing this and showing that they have language. i am torn on this. i do not like the

trivialisation of animals that should be in thejungle. apparently koko lota to play the recorder. and when told that a friend of his had died, actually communicated a response in sign language —— learnt to play. saying" catch cry, have sorry, koko love". the ability of scientists to learn more about the cognitive abilities and the emotions. it reflects our own emotions. it reflects our own emotions. absolutely. oliver, good to see you this morning. thank you for taking us through the news briefing. and then he very much for watching the briefing. goodbye from the team. you can get in touch with me on twitter. goodbye for now. ker hello, our weather's warming up. i know that's not music to everyone's ears, but it's on its way. 21.3 celsius was thursday's top

temperature, in hampshire, but for a time next week, the hot spots will be getting closer to 30 celsius. now, not everyone is getting that hot, but temperatures will widely be in the low to mid—20s, with plenty of dry, sunny weather, with high pressure in control. we've cooled things down a little bit in recent days, with this flow of air from the north—west. but we're about to lose that as high pressure moves right in across the uk, allowing the warmer weather in with the sunshine, and those temperatures will build day on day. but there will be a chill in the air first thing friday morning, for early risers, as temperatures overnight dip down into single figures quite widely, but those temperatures are heading up as the day goes on. scotland, with some cloud around, and the far north of scotland and the northern isles, a bit of patchy light rain and drizzle spreading east. a bit of high cloud may be turning things hazy for parts of wales, south—west england, but for most, it's sunshine on the way. still from the north—west, breeziest for northern scotland. very high uv and pollen levels, particularly in the england and wales, adding a degree or so to the temperature compared to recent days, with some get into the low 20s — 21, 22 degrees.

under clear skies on friday night and into saturday morning, well, maybe a bit of patchy cloud across parts of scotland, but largely clear skies. fairly rapid wind and the temperatures dip again, into single figures for some of us. but i don't think quite as chilly on saturday morning, compared with friday morning. so that sets the scene for the weekend, what's going on. i talked about high pressure moving in across the uk, and here it is. although at the start of the weekend, eagle eyes will notice this weather system moving on through northern scotland. so of course, that's going to bring more breeze, more cloud here, and the further north you are into the northern isles, some outbreaks of rain on saturday. and there'll be some high cloud elsewhere, so not necessarily clear blue sky. the sun will be hazy at times. nevertheless, temperatures will have risen a little bit more, particularly into parts of england and wales. and then for part two of the weekend, on sunday, early rain clears away

from shetland, and then it is largely sunny all the way. dry, very light winds, and widely on sunday, temperatures will be into the low 20s. and again into next week, with high pressure sticking around, along with the sunshine, the temperatures are edging up a bit further, more into the mid—20s. but yes, some as the heat builds will see that temperature reaching into the upper 20s, to near 30 celsius. that's your latest forecast. hello. this is breakfast with naga munchetty and jon kay. thousands ofjobs could be at risk as the company airbus warns it may pull out of the uk if there is a "no deal" brexit. the aerospace firm employs 14,000 people across the country. a senior executive says it's a dawning reality for the firm. with 25 sites across the uk, the firm has now warned it could move production to china. good morning.

it's friday the 22nd ofjune. also this morning: president trump's immigration policy causes delays and protests in congress, but it's his wife's coat, as she visits a detention centre, that causes controversy.
