and finally in the guardian, are you applying sunscreen correctly? probably not, according to scientists. this article those in the sun should opt for a higher spf as too many of us spread the stuff a little too thinly. with me is maike currie, an investment director at fidelity personal investing. good to have you with us again didn't let's begin with the independent. this has come in, this idea of the uk stockpiling food and so idea of the uk stockpiling food and so on, it has caused some ridicule in some quarters. i suppose it highlightsjust in some quarters. i suppose it highlights just how seriously the government is concerned about the potential of deal brexit. government is concerned about the potential of deal brexitlj government is concerned about the potential of deal brexit. i do find it slightly ironic that the pm is saying to take reassurance and comfort from the fact that we are stockpiling food, medicine and

blood. it is something of an armageddon scenario if you think of it and not what you would expect from a developed world country. and there may be something else at play here? theresa may warning her rebellious mps of the consequences of not backing her unpopular deal. it is difficult to take comfort from this and it gives more ammunition to those calling for another referendum oi’ those calling for another referendum or even another election. that is where the debate has turned to and the difficulty that i have seen cited over having another referendum is the possible different interpretation of the outcome, depending on what voting system is used or whether it would create even more division because people feel that the government is going back on what the initial vote said britain wanted. is interesting but if you think about it we have had two years

of dithering where parliament has been unable to make a decision. there is an argument to be made for handing it back to the people and say you decide. destructor around a referendum with free option rather than a referendum with free option rather thana binary referendum with free option rather than a binary choice could be a possibility, or an election. than a binary choice could be a possibility, oran election. but with theresa may's position as weak as it is that would be difficult to stand up. it is interesting and i am sure that there will be a busy summer sure that there will be a busy summer of discussions. the other development we saw this week with the prime minister saying she would be taking personal charge of the negotiations. that, in some sectors, people are thinking that perhaps undermines her new brexit secretary before he has even had a chance to get his feet under the table. before he has even had a chance to get his feet under the tablelj would agree. you get the people in the position and you give them the space to do theirjob. but the prime minister taking control of brexit negotiations will put a lot on her plate. moving on now to the times.

thisjoint statement, plate. moving on now to the times. this joint statement, the plate. moving on now to the times. thisjoint statement, thejoint press c0 nfe re nce thisjoint statement, thejoint press conference between president trump and the european commission presidentjean—claude juncker seems to have been quite warm and they seem to ever reached some kind of agreement. is it enough?” seem to ever reached some kind of agreement. is it enough? ithink it is only the beginning. there is talk about a deal being made but the only deal being made is to carry on talking and to hold off on any further tariff while they negotiate. it is hardly a deal. it is basically wanting to talk about it a bit more and seeing if they can negotiate. and the tone of it seems to be very much focused on what the eu will do in terms of buying more from the us be it soy beans, liquefied natural gas. to mean there did not seem to be much detail or clarity on what

the us is giving the eu in return.|j agree with you on that and that probably gives donald trump a lot of vindication because his aggressive approach is reaping benefits. the key point is that the eu exports a lot more to the us and it is a keep export partner. that is probably why it is being a bit more of a consensual agreement around buying more soy beans and liquefied natural gas because they export so much to the us and, of course, the eu's largest economy, germany, is reliant on the automotive industry and car exports. the other message it sends out is that donald trump's negotiating strategy is very bullish, go in, fresh and tariffs and going aggressively. that this is working for him and his getting what

he sees is a good deal as a result of it. the danger with that is the damage it does, evenjust of it. the danger with that is the damage it does, even just with the threat of tariffs. and what is interesting, if you look at the article in the financial times, the car companies on how to share prices have fallen. the us chamber of commerce, the biggest group in the us has found that these trade ta riffs us has found that these trade tariffs are offsetting the tax cut with congress approved at the end of last year. when donald trump was coming into office you will remember that everybody thought that the tax cuts would be a boon for global growth. we have hardly seen the beginning of trade tariffs and they are already chipping away at tax cuts so it is quite worrying. similarly linked is the front page of the financial times. general motors, chrysler, they are already feeling the impact of the potential of this trade war, even as it seems to have been de— escalator. of this trade war, even as it seems

to have been de- escalator. in this reiterates how detrimental powerade ta riffs reiterates how detrimental powerade tariffs are. you have general motors, daimlerchrysler, you have foord, you have harley—davidson. these companies are all already seeing the profits chipped away. the share price has fallen and gm had its steepest fall in seven years, even before the trade tariffs have been imposed. it is only the freight. it emphasises how detrimental trade tariffs are to global growth and to global recovery. turning attention now to the southern hemisphere. new zealand, we have seen moves to introduce... this is a first. for victims of domestic violence, taking time off work. it seems obvious and a sensible thing to do but it is the first time anywhere in the world it has been done, as i understand. what is interesting is that new zealand

is interesting is that new zealand is one of the countries that suffers from the highest levels of domestic violence. what they have introduced is ten days of leave from work for victims of domestic violence and the possibility of a more flexible working arrangement in the hope is that this increase productivity and turnover and for workplaces, being supportive to an employee in a difficult time, perhaps if they have had a relative, a loss, they do tend to be more loyal to that employer and they stick around. it follows that if you support someone through a hard time, it could have a good impact on productivity. the bigger question is that will this reduce domestic violence in new zealand? of course, will prevent employers from hiring women because they might be worried that they are taking days off work? there is a difficult balancing act that it is an interesting step forward. turning

oui’ interesting step forward. turning our attention now, talking about the heat wave and, of course, you apply sunscreen heat wave and, of course, you apply sunscreen but apparently we are not applying it in the right way according to this article. what are we doing wrong? we apply a too thinly and we need to up the spf range. to at least 30 because a lot of the damage, the dna damage, is caused by uv rays and that is we have the pilot on sick. the thing is it is difficult to know the right way to do a. i say this and it sounds obvious but when you have these new products that give you a mist, a spray, rather than having the lotion and they say it does exactly the same thing, i think this is where people can get confused, isn't it? absolutely. it is around the marketing and what is a good spf. there is an education peace around this, especially as we have these heat wave is now on we spend a lot more time outdoors. it is interesting to know how much you put

on, what type of sunscreen is the best, many questions. and of course people, the other side of it is that people, the other side of it is that people say we are putting on too much sunscreen and we are not getting enough vitamin d. you cannot win. that is true. that i would put an sunscreen given the heat we have at the moment in the northern hemisphere. really good to get your thoughts on those newspapers from around the world. of course, make sure you do apply your sunscreen and applied thickly enough as well. we have plenty more coming up here on the bbc news. stay with us for that. keep your tweets coming in on whether or not you are still a fan of this book. —— fan of facebook. good morning. if you think it's been hot enough already this summer, well, just wait for the next couple of days because it looks like it's going to turn even hotter.

some spots could get to 36 degrees and that brings with it the chance of some thunderstorms and welcome rain and you can see from the satellite picture, a couple of different areas of low pressure spinning out into the atlantic as they approach our shores. we will eventually see some wet weather but ahead of that, drawing this very hot air up from the south. we start thursday morning in double digits just about wherever you are, parts of the south—east starting the day up around 20 degrees, and as we go through the day, a lot of dry weather and some spells of sunshine. more on the way of cloud spreading up from the south. small chance we might break out the odd shower into the afternoon. a bit more cloud into the west as well, into the western side of northern ireland, particularly, a bit cooler here. down towards the south—east, look at these temperatures. 3a degrees in the heart of london, but for some in the south—east, maybe 35 degrees. but the building heat and humidity,

it looks like we will see some showers and thunderstorms starting to break out across the eastern half of the country, particularly as we head into the early hours of friday. thickening cloud and outbreaks of rain starting to trickle across northern ireland. a warm and muggy start to friday. during friday, this rain band tracking in from the west. then we see these thunderstorms blossoming to life across parts of south—east england, the east midlands, maybe eastern scotland. these are the areas most prone to vicious downpours. perhaps even some disruption. to the far east of the country, that is where we might get all the way up to 36 degrees. however, we push these various bands of rain and thunderstorms to the east as we get into the start of the weekend. then we start to tap into some much fresher air, these green and even blue colours blowing in our direction. during saturday, we say goodbye to ourfirst rain band quite quickly but there will be further bands of showers or further spells of rain from west to east on a fairly brisk breeze. the wind a little bit stronger

than it has been of late. some sunny spells as well but a big drop in temperatures. a io—degree drop in places. 25 for norwich in london. maybe 18 for edinburgh, glasgow and belfast. we stick to that fresher feel for the second half of the weekend and we'll see some rain spreading in from the west. good morning, welcome to breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. 0ur headlines today: a sign of things to come. as the uk heads towards the highest temperature on record, a warning that thousands could die each year if we don't prepare for regular heatwaves. it's a warm start the day and on primrose hill it will get even warmer. across the border, than
