this story from the bbc news app — motorists in england and wales can now submit dashcam footage of dangerous drivers on a new website, aimed at streamling what's often a complicated process. and finally, if you're watching us with a coffee, livescience.com has some interesting research. so let's begin. back with me is oliver cornock, editor in chief at oxford business group. we start with brexit. cabinet schism as theresa may seeks deal. she is muting with a cabinet at chequers, the country we —— retreat. but we are hearing about a rift? this is just keep on going on. business are concerned by the growing uncertainty. there was an element of

5:47 am
done. we do not have any clarity. the brexit secretary did not know about it yesterday and had to be rushed in to be briefed about it. this is not great news, not great headlines for the uk government and ido begin headlines for the uk government and i do begin to worry that, if the brexit negotiating team cannot get at least the pr sorted, how are we going to get to europe? angela merkel, the chancellor germany, she has her own domestic problems, france is not an dead of roses. this isa france is not an dead of roses. this is a domestic mess that needs to be sorted out before we go on to the european scene. we will keep an eye on friday and see what happens at chequers. other countries seemingly

moving on. we were telling the world about the outcome of the elections in mexico. andres manuel lopez obrador get thejob in mexico. andres manuel lopez obrador get the job eventually, he has run for president a few times. he has an overwhelming mandate. it means he can press on. what is his leftist agenda looking like?m means he can press on. what is his leftist agenda looking like? it is the first time one of these major parties has not been in power in 57 yea rs. parties has not been in power in 57 years. it looks like he will get the majority in both houses of congress as well. i am going to mexico on monday. it is a country we cover. it is exciting and it is an emerging market and currency is very important. it was up and down yesterday. up initially and then it did for? markets had factored in
5:49 am
that he would win. the volatility will continue for a while because some of his polity points, huge levels of social spending, how is a game to be funded? it is a tricky to see that and the markets i suspect will be volatile for a while. other commitments he has made during the election campaign going to be carried through or will hit fleet flop a bit like his neighbour, donald trump. speaking of donald trump, they had a conversation. the north american trade agreement is on the balance and the mexico is critical. amlo says he is committed to nafta. the financialtimes has

this story about the drug industry in the united states. donald trump promising that a lot of drugs would come down in price. to an american, thatis come down in price. to an american, that is really important. in the uk we pay a minimal son when we get drugs when we need them in the us every penny counts. it painted in this bigger narrative of medical care. on one level, you have to think this is one drug company, pfizer, putting theirfinger think this is one drug company, pfizer, putting their finger up at donald trump on the other there is this ethical side. a couple of years ago, a man had a treatment of drug cancer, bought it for $30 and he put
5:51 am
it up toa cancer, bought it for $30 and he put it up to a thousand or something. you have to ask, drug companies have to keep their board and shareholders happy but there has to be an ethical side to this. pfizer said the list price did not reflect what people paid. 100 of their best—known drugs have gone up in price. it brings to the surface the real problem of the cost of the healthcare system in the us. what doctors and hospitals pay the drugs in the us is a a lot more for what we pay for the same treatment in the uk. to go up by 4496 treatment in the uk. to go up by 44% according to this article. - camp footage can now be submitted —— dashcam. this website enables you to
5:52 am
get to the riot police authority. someone driving dangerously can be reported. to me it is the natural conclusion of the increasing use of dashcam. bull people put a camera on just so people drive more carefully need them? —— more. there is a platform that streamlines how you put a footage onto the police. great for the business model and the police. more coffee could be linked toa police. more coffee could be linked to a longer lifespan. we are talking up to a longer lifespan. we are talking up to eight cups a day. they checked
5:53 am
out half a million people so it is quite a big study. i am not a scientist but that seems like a lot of people. it is not the caffeine, because of the caffeinated coffee has the same benefits. —— decaf. because of the caffeinated coffee has the same benefits. —— decafm would be good news to me if i liked coffee. i drink about 15 cups of tea. lots of people have been in touch. what do you make of all the different health survey is coming out every single day telling you one thing the state and reversed the next. one says, i have not had coffee for over a year. others say it is really hard to follow all the health trends and they referred to their grandparents who say
5:54 am
everything in maturation. do you ta ke everything in maturation. do you take much notice of these surveys? like all of these things, it has to be in moderation. another viewer, it is not easy to follow health trends. it is difficult to keep track of them all. surely says... let me move on. rick says he does not care for these types of report. the body should slide into the grave showing every scratch of a life well lived. thank you for your company. i will see you soon. good morning. the summer of 2018 is shaping up to be quite memorable. june may be a distant memory, it looks as though the statistics
5:55 am
will make it go down in history. this was glasgow last week, june 28 in motherwell, where we saw a high of 33 degrees. we thought that was the hottest june day on record, but it was the hottest day ever recorded in scotland. quite incredible. it looks as though there is little in the way of significant rain in the forecast not only throughout this week but perhaps into next as well. high pressure stays with us, subtle differences. more of an easterly breeze will bring changes and it does mean that first thing in the morning there will be a bit more cloud along the north sea coast and it will be a little bit fresher as we go through the day. further west, with a little more shelter we got that warmth and those temperatures yet again are set to respond. highest values likely of around 27 degrees, that's 80 fahrenheit, a little bit cooler along the east coast. perhaps a little more pleasant for many. as we move out of tuesday into wednesday, the high pressure releases its grip a little. there's still unlikely to be any significant rain in the forecast, largely quiet, but perhaps a little more in the way of cloud around and the threat of a few sharper showers across southern england.
5:56 am
very hit and miss but i'm sure they'll be welcome news for gardeners and growers out there. as a result of that cloud, temperatures are degree or so down. looking at a high of 20—26 degrees. still a dry story into thursday for most of us, but look at this, a weather front, something we've not seen for some time, introducing more in the way of cloud across the northern isles into the western scotland and maybe northern ireland but no significant rain i'm afraid in the forecast. maybe a few isolated showers and the risk of a few showers just threatening across the far south. the highest values still of 17—28 degrees, that's 82 fahrenheit. the wind direction looking likely to change again as we move towards the weekend and that will allow those temperatures to climb, with more of a southerly 29 or 30 degrees not out of the question again somewhere in the south. the high pressure establishes itself as we move out of the working week into next weekend.
5:57 am
that means that things stay dry, settled and relatively sunny. if you haven't already got the message, it looks likely that the rest of the week will stay often quite sunny, very warm for many with little in the way of significant rain. take care. good morning. welcome to breakfast with louise minchin and charlie stayt. our headlines here today: found alive, but authorities say 12 thai schoolboys and their coach could be trapped in a cave for months. feeling nervous yet? gareth southgate wants his england side to "write their own history" as they face colombia in the last 16 of the world cup. the flags are up, fingers are crossed. can england to get the failings of the past and reach the
