over a border dispute. let's look at some of the stories that are making the headlines in the media across the world. we begin with the guardian and us president donald trump, who described the european union as one of his greatest "foes" — this just hours before his very controversial summit with the russian president, putin. the ft says international companies active in iran face the threat of us sanctions within weeks, after washington rebuffed a high—level european plea to exempt crucial industries. the times leads with the senior conservativejustine greening, who has called for a second referendum on brexit. she says the prime minister's effort to keep britain in parts of the single market

is the "worst of both worlds" and will satisfy no one. the japan times looks at how some countries are attempting to make their parliaments friendlier for children and their parents. in new zealand, members of parliament will be able to hold their infants whilst engaging in debates. and finally, let's look at the frontpage of le figaro, it's football and france, who have won the 2018 world cup for the second time in a thrilling 4—2 defeat of croatia in moscow. with me is michaela bergman, who's principal social specialist at the asian infrastructure and investment bank. so to the good to see you and. good morning. so so much to discuss and as ever, president trump is dominating. he has had this very controversial trip to europe. he came to the uk, and now he is in helsinki but before he headed for finland, he did a television interview with cbs when he said lots

of things and one of them was the european union is my foreign. yes, well, i think the one thing about mr trump is clearly he is unpredictable. -- my foe. he sometimes uses these words but they may not have the same meaning that we understand because also in the same article, he says that he really respects their leaders, so it is almost like a starting gambit, his sort of way of engaging. it is unpredictable, i think, sort of way of engaging. it is unpredictable, ithink, none sort of way of engaging. it is unpredictable, i think, none of us quite know what to make of it. nobody knows quite what he might say next and as you say, it is very difficult to try and anticipate how discussion will go, what he might say. one minute he seems to be offending, the next moment it is a huge romance, you just do not know which way it will go in. -- bromance. no, he has called the eu a

foe but i do not think as we would understand it, it isjust his starting gambit. but also on trade, he said that the eu is unfair on trade with the united states, and the great degree, that overshadowed the great degree, that overshadowed the nato summit. to be fair, he has been very consistent on that issue, a lwa ys been very consistent on that issue, always thinking that the eu have not been fair to the united states and that was one of his campaign arguments, that the us was not doing well. and this article in the guardian as well," the prime minister theresa may, who was on television on sunday, where she revealed that trump had suggested to her that she sue the european union rather than go into negotiations over brexit. he did say he had given her some very important advice that her some very important advice that he would not say what that advice was. i suppose that is the difference between business and diplomacy, you don't sue. he is the

chief executive of the company, he isa chief executive of the company, he is a business leader, he is the apprentice or whatever, that is his way of thinking. anyway, interesting scenario but at the same time, the financial times howzat on its front page, what this new administration in the white house, the reality that administration for companies who wa nt to administration for companies who want to do business with divine. —— has that. and actually, washington is saying you are looking at sanctions because of your continued operations with iran. sanctions because of your continued operations with iranlj sanctions because of your continued operations with iran. i think it sort of indicates the different ways of engaging with iran, one is to stop all engagement and have sanctions, the other one is to engage and hope to have influenced by engagement. they are very different approaches to how you want to move iran around, to engage with divine. one is eu ‘s business and engage and keep them engaged, and

the other is sanctions, we do not engage. i think it also shows that difference. —— one is you engage. engage. i think it also shows that difference. —— one is you engagem was broken sometime ago under the administration of president obama, but the problem is the eu is trying to keep that agreement alive and remain intact, without the backing of the united state. on the logistic point of view, is very difficult. this natural times article is saying really for you now, are their hopes dashed keeping this deal alive?” dashed keeping this deal alive?|j think it looks like they are and it will have huge implications for both european trade, and i think also for the politics because again, if you have a whole cohort of european companies that cannot do business with iran, you are further isolating iran andi with iran, you are further isolating iran and i think that maybe takes us back a few years. and the president in iran has his own issues within, he is facing a very difficult

political scenario where he is operating and this is not helping at all. and also economically, he is trying to keep the come down that country going and on a stable level and again, you're not having these business deals et cetera that could impact on that. we are keeping an eye on that absolutely, and the times has a great picture. i love this picture of french president macon, he isjust out this picture of french president macon, he is just out of his seat, punching the air obviously as france winds the world cup. —— president macron. we'll talk about that in the second. the article below is this statement coming from justine greening, he used to big education secretary, she is part of the conservative party, calling for a new brexit referendum because she is basically saying where we're at now, what the prime minister is suggesting is no good for anyone, whether you are a remainer or brexiteer, no one is going to benefit from the current deal on the table, that is argument. well, i

mean not only would i agree with her, it is not representing anybody‘s point of view, and in fact the original referendum did not really ask, i should say, a very clear question. people did not really know what they were actually answering. well, the question was due want to mean the european union oi’ due want to mean the european union or not? it was very straightforward, he did not talk about how you would exit if you are going to. he did not talk about how you would exit if you are going tolj he did not talk about how you would exit if you are going to. i mean there are many who reportedly never voted at the time of the brexit, especially younger people. —— to you. they did not think it was important and there would be one argument saying that if you have another referendum, that you actually would get a bigger turnout and many would be more representative of what the british people wanted. the prime minister has said we do not need to have another referendum, and so has jeremy corbyn, the leader of the opposition party. but itjust highlights once again the turmoil going on within government, those who are trying to make this decision

and forge this path all of us. and the uncertainty, or people trying to live their lives just do not know what is going to happen next. that have a look at this story on the front page of the japan times, mum friendly parliaments on the rise but progress pretty patchy. of course, the prime minister of new zealand jacinda ardern, she hasjust had her first baby, which is lovely, lovely news, but to what extent do you see in your work, this is something you look at all the time, progress in this area? well, i think there has not been a lot of progress in getting women into parliament or into government. it is slow and there are many, many reasons for that. here, they are catching on the one issue, which is actually that parliaments are not very friendly places for women to come to work. i mean there are many reasons why women let it, they do not put themselves forward, but, and they do

not feel that it is a cloud to which they feel they can contribute and wa nt to they feel they can contribute and want tojoin. they feel they can contribute and want to join. but maybe they feel they can contribute and want tojoin. but maybe making parliaments more friendly, having better working hours would encourage more women to consider it. yeah, which is good news, and it is interesting that article to discuss how they make them more available for women with young infants. le figaro, we literally have 20 or 30 seconds, i do not know if you watched the match but what a fantastic win for france?” watched the match but what a fantastic win for france? i think, andi fantastic win for france? i think, and i think actually the whole world cup has been great. it has galvanised a lot of people. i had to say i was not a real fall will fan but i have been really enthused by watching people. —— football fan. i think it has been great. thank you. we appreciate you being here with us this morning. thank you too for your company this morning on the briefing. hello. with temperatures as high as 31 celsius, sunday was another hot day across eastern areas of england

throughout the weekend, with scenes like this, it was england and wales that had the lion's share of the sunshine and warmth. sunday brought some useful rain though to of parts of northern ireland, scotland, though eastern scotland held on to some sunny spells. this is the weather system that brought some rain to northern ireland and parts of scotland, it's moving southwards in the next 2a hours and behind it, it's introducing a somewhat cooler but more noticeably fresher feel to the weather. it's already into northern ireland and north—west scotland as monday begins, sunny spells here, one or two showers developing later. central and eastern parts of scotland, early outbreaks of rain clear away with sunshine following. then for england and wales, many with a dry start. early on in the west here, we've got this strip of cloud, outbreak of rain, some thundery bursts. all that slowly moving east during the day. but very varying amounts. some with next to nothing. some with maybe something decent on the garden. as you can see, still some heat, where the sun lasts longest, east anglia, south—east

england, near 30 celsius. behind that weather system, it's cooled a little. not very much, but it is feeling fresher. as we on through monday night, still a few showers around towards eastern areas. that fresher air follows on behind. so perhaps monday night is going to be a little bit easier for sleeping with temperatures like this, and a couple of cooler nights are to come this week. as tuesday begins, that fresher feel to things is down across all parts of the uk. there'll be a lot of sunshine to begin with, then the clouds going to build, and you canjust pick out one or two showers developing here and there but they will be very hit and miss, probably most reliable on tuesday into northern parts of scotland, where some could be heavy and possibly thundery. and it is cooler where it's been so hot by several degrees but nowhere's cold, and wherever you get to see some sunshine, it will feel pleasantly warm but it's also feeling that bit fresher. the flow of air coming in from the atlantic, a fairly uneventful weather pattern mid—week. the pressure isn't as high as it's

been, but then again, it's not that low. what we are left with is several sunny days, the cloud builds and there's a chance of catching a shower. it's not quite as warm as it's been. though temperatures in south—east england will head up again as we go deeper into the week. to sum up the week, a fresher feel, a little cooler. some sunshine, the chance of a shower. it's only a chance. some places will avoid them and have another, after monday, mainly dry week. good morning. welcome to breakfast, with naga munchetty and steph mcgovern. our headlines today: donald trump and vladimir putin meet for talks in helsinki. friends or foes? donald trump says he has low expectations for the summit.
