' question today. website, is twitter question today. the holiday giant thomas cook announcing it is stopping trips to holiday parks that keep wales over concern about animal welfare. many of you have been in touch about that story, we will mention your tweets ina story, we will mention your tweets in a moment. this is the back page of the mirror but he is all over the place today. geraint thomas flies the flag for wales. he has been enjoying his tour de france triumph, which is a first for wales. he is on many front pages this morning. let's start with a story about brexit, we have the ceo of century takeback. let's get stuck in. mps are not in parliament but brexit is still on the cards. the same headline, kamikazes say brexiteers. this is supposed to set out the no

deal planning and i have a feeling they were issues about number 10 not planning in the event there was a brexit and this is number 10 planning and the criticism from brexiteers is they set out the negative effect for the united kingdom but does not set out what happens to europe. they are also arguing the rhetoric coming from number 10 is all very kind of negative. preparing for worst—case scenario, which has to do, everybody has to do that to a degree. the brexiteers a saint to look at the positives, the benefits when we do leave but the difficulty is we do not know what they will be. exactly. bmw increasing prices is a story we

have just covered. there are not many people in number 10 who will be so many people in number 10 who will be so positive and you do not want to be wrong at the end of the day. i understand the point that we need to say what the positives are and we need to tell europe we will be fine without you but this is number 10 saying this is what could happen. it talks about the army coming in with food surprise et cetera. i think this could be a reality for them. rex adheres have always got something to complain about with theresa may there. —— brexiteers. something to complain about with theresa may there. -- brexiteers. as do the remainers, to be fat. the financial times and again you mention b&w and its practical steps and this is another example, deutsche bank shifting half its euro clearing the frankfurt from london.

euro clearing is essentially the plumbing behind financial services stop between the buyer and seller. this is a really big deal. london is the world leaderfor this is a really big deal. london is the world leader for clearing. this is a really big deal. london is the world leaderfor clearing. we clear a ll the world leaderfor clearing. we clear all types of currencies and stock up to i billion euros denominated contracts in a day. three quarters of the global market so three quarters of the global market so it is absolutely massive for us and deutsche bank is one of the five biggest houses for clearing. they have done it to minimise risk of instability. this is a direct response to the referendum and to brexit. this is deutsche bank being sensible. exactly. they do not want

to be effected. it is edging its bets which many organisations are doing. different and quarters emerging in other areas. doing. different and quarters emerging in other areasm doing. different and quarters emerging in other areas. if we had more certainty, and negotiating had gone better, would this have happened because maybe we would do where markets would be. in some way these organisations have left it for quite a while to see how negotiations were going. let's move on to the on line version of the honolulu star advertiser, not one we feature often but it has strong images of the fire is taking place across california. tens of thousands of people having to flee their homes

and people dying. absolutely horrendous. and it is not under control. we have seen wild fires around the world and i do not think i have spent a summer hearing so much about five years. it is devastating and incredibly sad. cities really failing to cope. the financial times did a page on how climate change could be an accelerated in these situations. —— accelerant. we accelerated in these situations. —— accelera nt. we need accelerated in these situations. —— accelerant. we need to better counter the threat of wildfires but this is ongoing and who knows how longer this will take to get under control. it does fuel the debate, pardon the pun, about climate change. we are talking about these wildfires now, and we have footage of some of the impact in california,

but we have seen it in europe. i have seen it on my doorstep in buckinghamshire, where fat fires erupting, bizarrely. this is one impact but of course we had the winter which was extreme. in asia, the monsoon season has been more extreme and it is becoming more extreme and it is becoming more extreme every single year. it is right in front of the climate change deniers, president trump is one of them, now, instead of denying let's be better prepared for these natural disasters. thomas cook access his trip to this because customers were concerned about the welfare of killer whales. many reports about seaworld's killer whales.

celebrities have been behind this. pink has been behind this, and the artist. if it is dangerous and it looks very much like it is, then absolutely they should not be keeping them. 90% of consumers is very strong. thomas cook responding to its consumers. notjust seaworld but a park in tenerife. thomas cook is behaving ethically and responding to concerns by consumers and putting pressure on parts like seaworld asking to you need to keep these sort of animals. view with giving us their view on this. —— viewers. should these parks be there at all for those who want to experience new things. one says, if it encourages

the release of these beautiful creatures it must be a good thing. another says absolutely they should be axed. no animal should be kept in captivity as moneymakers. and from vancouver, i spent a glorious month off the coast and they are magnificent, the orca is. i have never visited them in a captive place again. yes. let's talk about geraint thomas flying the flag for wales. this is such an extraordinary story. in 2007 he came 140th out of 141 in story. in 2007 he came 140th out of 1111 in the tour de france... i would still be proud of that. i would too. but this is perseverance at its best. we have had a good bump with

sport recently. it is absolutely brilliant. his wife as well, amazing comment... she was there at the end com pletely comment... she was there at the end completely to his surprise. she saw him go on this bike five to six hours a day and it is absolutely brilliant. when i70 sitting in the park ina brilliant. when i70 sitting in the park in a corner and i can tell a 30—year—old what i was up to would make it worth it. thank you for coming in and lovely to see you. good to have your company as well. stay with us on the bbc, we will update you at the top of the hour. good morning. the much needed rain we saw over the weekend does not signal the end of summer as we know it because, throughout this week,

we're still going to see some sunshine and some warmth. we finished yesterday with some sunshine in the west, more of that to come today and through this week. as well as a bit more sunshine, it's not going to be quite as windy. the rain that we do see — and there will be some — will be mainly in the form of showers, only forming a small portion of the day if at all, and gradually we will see temperatures rise yet again. the weekend weather was courtesy of a overall low pressure centre to the south of iceland, bringing these weather fronts around the bottom edge of it. butjust notice that circulation, with the cooler air, starts to weaken as we go through the week, and in doing so, we start to tap in to warmer air across western europe later on. but out there this morning, it is a reasonably warm and not muggy start to the day, across parts of the south and east in particular, temperatures 17—18 celsius for the morning commute. a few showers in the south and the west. cooler, even with the sunshine across northeast scotland, around 6 or 7 degrees. through the morning, we'll see showers develop quite widely. areas most prone to it — east anglia and south—east the odd heavy one. also from the south—west of wales, midlands, towards yorkshire and again across scotland, some of those can be heavy and thundery in the afternoon. there will be a few showers

elsewhere but a lot of the time we'll be dry through the afternoon with some longer spells of sunshine than we saw through the weekend. with that and lighter winds, it will feel a little bit warmer, temperatures up a couple of degrees for many of you. into monday night, the showers we do see will fade away for a time. but then they'll get going again towards some southern and western areas, particularly across england and wales, where temperatures will stay in the teens. but northern england, scotland and northern ireland slightly fresher night to take us into tuesday, with temperatures more widely away from the cities in single digits. lots of sunshine here to begin, before cloud gathers later on. early showers across southern eastern england will depart into the north sea. much of the day then will be dry, some good sunny spells. we'll see a little bit more cloud through the afternoon but temperatures still at levels of monday. around 19—25 degrees. we finish the day with some rain across scotland and northern ireland. we will see more returning as we go through wednesday. a lot of dry weather around though on wednesday, best of the sunshine in the morning. sunshine turning hazy into the afternoon with those showers developing towards the west, but by this stage, temperatures are on the up across that south—east corner, into the higher 20s. we'll see temperatures climb more widely through the end of the week. to get us into thursday,

we still have a few weather fronts to deal with — here they are here, pushing in — but around an area of blossoming high pressure, so thatjust means a few showers across western parts of the uk. but further east, increasing sunshine. and, yes, we're likely to see a 30 degree temperature on the chart again. bye for now. good morning welcome to breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. our headlines today — from paris to the valleys. celebrations into the night as geraint thomas becomes the first welshman to win the tour de france. what is the first thing you will do when you get back on home soil? have beer, probably. it will be nice to get back into normality, in, watch
