5:46 am
in stark contrast with what we saw last week, at the resignation of the trade minister —— afghanistan. that is what borisjohnson would have had to have done if he wanted to avoid the three line whip which was obliging all mps to vote with the government. he did say that there was no point in him resigning. what would achieve? he did address the issue, but fudge that by leaving. but let's talk about the decision itself. we still don't know how heathrow will pay for this. they have come up with this figure of £14 billion, $60 billion, but it could be so much more than that. nobody knows. —— $16 billion. be so much more than that. nobody knows. -- $16 billion. there will be, iassume, legal challenges. four constituencies they will file for — complaints against the system, so it depends on the battle, how long that
5:47 am
ta kes, depends on the battle, how long that takes, but we need to see in a detailed plan which will out the costs in greater detail. with these projects, we have seen in the past that it projects, we have seen in the past thatitis projects, we have seen in the past that it is relatively likely that they come up with higher costs than initially proposed. let's look at the next paper. this is about feuds ofa the next paper. this is about feuds of a trade policy escalating amid trump insults. they are becoming openly aggressive and insulting others, this is about the democrat saying that if they come across somebody in the top administration, to go up against them. -- trump. we have seen these comments from maxine waters of california who has said if you are seeing anybody from the cabinet ina you are seeing anybody from the cabinet in a restaurant or
5:48 am
department store, gasoline station, get out and create a crowd and push back on them. which is, i guess, darling of the tension a little between representatives of both parties and also between the public and members of this administration. of course, interestingly enough, the press secretary was expelled from a restau ra nt press secretary was expelled from a restaurant on friday in lexington, virginia. it goes to show that people are following this advice. people have criticised mrs waters for making these comments, saying it ta kes for making these comments, saying it takes us away from the main point, the immigration debate, and gives fight to both sides and incinerates the debate further. it is interesting comment, i guess. as you say, fears that it distracts from what is happening in the country when there is a loss of white noise, which does not really get anywhere,
5:49 am
you don't get behind the headlines and understand what is really happening. the danger is that if this is encouraged, that is all people will see. yes, and of course, and just imagine if people were taking this advice seriously, then of course you would — is good to see people voicing opinion, but, if you had people doing that in all sorts of situations, creeping crowds against members of the opposition or the cabinet, though that is a huge distraction, i guess. 0k. the cabinet, though that is a huge distraction, i guess. ok. we go to the daily telegraph. this is document the trade war. we spoke about this in the business briefing, how harley—davidson said they would ta ke how harley—davidson said they would take some of their manufacturing out of the us and into europe to avoid the trade tariffs. there is starting to bea the trade tariffs. there is starting to be a real reaction from businesses over this, which donald trump might not have anticipated, because he said he was surprised to
5:50 am
see them waving the white flag. because he said he was surprised to see them waving the white flaglj because he said he was surprised to see them waving the white flag. i am surprised that he is surprised, to be honest, because harley—davidson does a certain part of its production to europe. they are saying it would cast customers around $2200 more, and businesses are of course faced with the decision, had you make sure you account for these increasing costs by not necessarily passing them on to consumers? because you don't necessarily want to save, 0k, everything, my product is now $2200 more expensive, and they have not said where they will be producing their motorcycles. just some sort of international facilities is what they said, yesterday. and they have not figured or said workers will cost them. of course, avoiding that says that it helps to avoid the tariffs, but there might have two
5:51 am
expand the existing facility to be up expand the existing facility to be up to produce more output they are. i would be surprised if this was the only company doing this, because from a business point of view, you would want to go where you don't face ta riffs would want to go where you don't face tariffs between your product and customers. interesting are the note here is that a steelmaker, said gupta, is talking about opening something in the us to avoid tariffs, but would it actually create jobs? —— sa njeev. tariffs, but would it actually createjobs? —— sanjeev. and there is more about the escalating tensions here. we looked at the markets briefly, but this is all about devolution, the treasury secretary tweaking that new investment restrictions wouldn't be just for china, but they would be looking around the rest of the world, as well. this is in the financial times. there world, as well. this is in the financialtimes. there have been uncertain singles coming out of the
5:52 am
administration yesterday, with steve na g e administration yesterday, with stevenage and say what you have just quoted, and peter navarro saying — oi’ quoted, and peter navarro saying — or try to reassure that they would not be anything additional to what was announced. —— steve minuchin. there is close to be more coming out on friday. —— mnuchin. according to mrmnuchin, all on friday. —— mnuchin. according to mr mnuchin, all countries that i tried to steal their technology. so it would be interesting to see what the additional measures would be. the tech stocks have been hanging steady despite all of the uncertainty, but now they seem to be shifting as well. we have seen companies in the us, including tech companies, and this has been one thing that the us has always braced itself for space opened to foreign investment — at least for many
5:53 am
yea rs— investment — at least for many yea i’s— so investment — at least for many years— so i think it is concerning from an investment point of view that people are now saying you cannot buy this any more. do you think these mixed signals coming out of washington are a negotiating tactic as many have suggested in the past few months. many have suggested that these tariffs were — or now that these tariffs were — or now that they're coming into force, and now we are seeing a that they're coming into force, and now we are seeing a rich and from companies like harley—davidson, that is the new reality. a bigger goes to show that there is not a lot of alignment within the cupboard minister in. of course, one could also say this is a tactic to confuse the other parties to make sure that they do not know what they are talking about and who they are talking about and who they are talking to. i guess in terms of getting a coherent image of what this administration is trained to achieve, it is not necessarily helpful. it is difficult for companies, both in the us and internationally, to steer the ground
5:54 am
and to get an impression of what is really happening. let's have a look at this page, now, and this paper. washington post. smokers should allow —— should be allowed a cigarette at nhs hospitals. —— e—cigarettes. cigarette at nhs hospitals. —— e-cigarettes. this is from the medical authorities who are suggesting that they should be allowed this to encourage them to quit smoking traditional cigarettes. and this is based on a finding that, well, campaigns and policies aimed at making people stop smoking are not effective. and so this is trying to reinforce this idea of, let's see if it works. thank you for taking us through the news reading. thank you for watching. whether you like it or not, there is absolutely no end in sight
5:55 am
to this hot spell we are experiencing right now and it is a heatwave, temperatures will remain well above average for the rest of the week and into the weekend as well. monday was the hottest day of the year so far, 30 degrees celsius, and many of us experienced temperatures in the high or mid—20s and the jet stream is way to the north of us across iceland there, rushing into northern scandinavia with a bit of a dip here into the mediterranean. we will talk about what that means for the med in a second but as far as we're concerned, high pressure dominating the scene stretching into scandinavia and the whole of west and central europe and southern parts of scandinavia will be warming up so through the early hours, very little happening on the weather front. all the weather is bypassing to the north of us, so way above my head, closer to iceland. the morning will be mild, warm in the south. a little bit chilly in eastern scotland and the north—east of england, possibly single figures and we have a strong sunshine right from the word go on tuesday. beautiful day, some of us loving it,
5:56 am
for some of us, a bit too hot but what we find is more of an onshore breeze around these eastern coasts and the north sea is relatively cool is still so temperatures won't be all that high in hull and norwich. the deep orange is displaced further to the west and that is where the highest temperatures will be. i suspect around 30 in the midlands, london maybe only the high 20s, for example, on tuesday. i mentioned thejet stream dipping into the mediterranean. here we have a low pressure and the weather is not all that great around greece, the greek islands. 25 degrees celsius expected in athens. we are actually warmer here in the uk than in athens, at least on wednesday, but that will change. athens hotting up to about 30 degrees in the next couple of days. back to the uk, a lot of hot weather around midweek. that is an onshore breeze around the kent coast, east anglia, that north sea coast. hulland norwich, a bit cooler, the low 20s. high 20s expected further west.
5:57 am
even belfast, getting up to around 26 degrees, 28 in the lowlands of scotland. you don't need to be a meteorologist to guess that the next few days, sunshine galore, as i said, whether you like it or not. bye— bye. good morning, welcome to breakfast with charlie stayt and louise minchin. 0ur headlines today: given the go ahead. mps overwhelmingly back a third runway at heathrow. "below average". the nhs is behind other countries at preventing deaths from heart attacks, strokes and cancer, according to a new report. another day of soaring temperatures, now a health warning about the heatwave. yes the temperature in london soared to 30 celsius. the heatwave likely
5:58 am
to 30 celsius. the heatwave likely to continue across the uk for another week yet. investment in the uk car industry has halved in the first six months of the year. the sector says it's been thwarted by brexit uncertainty.
