american use of chinese technology. foreigners seeking strategic stakes in listed chinese groups could face broad national security reviews, apparently. onto the telegraph and story i mention earlier the education secretary damian hinds telling parents children are sent to school unable to speak in sentences. he says it is a persistent scandal. finally, our website, you can't escape hearing about this tv show this summer, love island, the final was last night, we will talk about the winners and the emerging franchise. if you've recorded it and you've not seen it, i am not going to say switch off, just under volume down. i have james foley with us to talk through some of these stories. —— james foley. we start with the images of robert mugabe, former president of zimbabwe, in power for decades who was sort of removed from office november last year with his

wife, grace. they are voting. he said he would not vote for the presidency of emmerson mnangagwa, who moved him on. it was an historic day for zimbabwe. it was, and one thing the election monitors are a lwa ys thing the election monitors are always saying is it was a peaceful vote. that is very encouraging. if you look back at previous ballots, it has often been marred by violence and it has often been marked by scandal, so previously there were accusations voters had been bought, and voting in a certain way. candidates have been taken away as well —— marred. candidates have been taken away as well -- marred. peaceful, yes. it is important that the poll has credibility because it is wants to increase it standing on the international stage then it has to have a credible election. so from that point of view it is quite good. in terms of the candidates and in terms of her people are going to vote for a think there is a choice. do we want to change, or will they

vote for continuity? if that is the case, they vote for the incumbent. nelson chamisa is the young opposition leader with the movement for democratic change, mdc, seen as very popular with young voters in zimbabwe. but it is quite difficult to predict what the outcome will be. we will find out probably late tomorrow. but, as you say, it is a very critical time for zimbabwe because even though of course robert mugabe was removed from power in november last year, which was a huge event, it was seen by some, with emmerson mnangagwa as the president, some would say it is still the status quo. yes, this is the same, and of course a lot of voters are less likely to vote for change, so it is going to be really interesting. and the economy really needs some credibility, it needs international investment, there is a lot of unemployment, so it is going to be critical. a lot of work to do

whoever gets the job, plenty of work to do. now, we have highlighted this story, in the independent, in many papers today, the aid sector guilty of complacency, verging on complicity, this is investigations into what was happening at oxfam and various other aid organisations when they respond to these huge catastrophic events. there was the earthquake in haiti is one that was highlighted. what the mps are saying is extraordinarily harsh, it is actually extremely shocking, it has taken me back, to hear that charities have been behaving in this way. it is an open secret. i would say that someone who contributes to charity regularly, i didn't know about this. i must admit i didn't realise either. so it is an open secret perhaps amongst people who work within the charities. but for many people who support the charities, this is absolutely shocking. what they are saving quite

rightly is that charities must put in safeguard processes, to empower whistleblowers et cetera, really to clea n whistleblowers et cetera, really to clean up their act and i would say not only have atrocious things happened to women and children in some of these vulnerable areas, but the pushback could mean that people could potentially give leicester charity. absolutely. it will certainly have that impact i am sure of it —— give less to charity. you wonder why in 2018 we are having this conversation about these huge international organisations that seem to have faded the spotlight, where other organisations in other sectors have been, you know, have had the microscope on them for many yea rs. had the microscope on them for many years. why have oxfam and other organisations not been subject to that before now? one of the criticisms is certain people in those organisations have really taken advantage of the weak governments in places where they have had some crisis. yes, absolutely. let's move on to the

financial times. there is various brexit headlines on the front pages but we are having a break from that today. we have decided to look at the other story, china's toughening security stance on foreign buyers of sensitive assets. not surprised to read about this at all. but itjust shows more barriers, more walls going up, doesn't it? yes, this is obviously tit—for—tat. the uk, us and germany have tried to do things to tighten their security. against china specifically. more importantly new zealand is another one trying to stop too much chinese investment in certain types of assets. so this is a pushback. it is interesting in china because china needs foreign investment generally speaking. so it is trying to open up a bond market for instant. and this report does say that in some parts it has made ita say that in some parts it has made it a little easier for foreign investors to move into china in some aspects, so they do need the international investment, but they

are trying to say, well, hold on a minute, it is notjust china that is buying everybody else's knowledge, technology, etc, we are protective about ours as well. and it is interesting as well how they use the security stance banner as it were in the way that the us is using national security concerns. this is the thing about technology. it is so, so advanced. it is enabling those companies that are behind the tech to see and to be involved and be privy to all sorts of things in the various countries in which they operate. governments are trying to get a handle on this. well, they are and it came to light with respect to the accusations of election manipulation with the facebook scandal, for instance, and governments i think are aware that the importance of tech in all sorts of aspects of government and life. now, let's talk about what damian hinds has been saying, will say in a speech today, he is the relatively new education secretary here in the

uk, talking about parents failing to teach children how to talk. it is a startling headline but when you actually read the detail it is kind of what we know already. it is about social mobility and children growing up social mobility and children growing up in poorer households and some of the challenges they face when it comes to education and the impact it has on them. yes, it is a little bit depressing, certainly, and he says he doesn't want to lecture parents, but of course that's what he is doing, necessary or not, because he says children who go to school who cannot articulate, cannot string together sentences, he says they will never catch up and therefore they will always be disadvantaged when it comes to job interviews et cetera. they will always be behind. the gap gets wider and wider. exactly. he is talking about the importance of teaching verbal communication skills to children from a really extremely young age. all right. we have heard that before. we will see what he suggests in terms of how to tackle it. he says he is going to try to close the

gap with the policies by 2028. we will watch this space. now let's talk about love island. i have to confess i didn't watch it at all. i don't think you did either. no, i didn't watch it either. so neither of us are qualified to talk about this series itself. but we can talk about the fact that the actual programme itself, love island, as a concept, as a programme, is obviously for no surprises becoming real hot property and it is selling around the world. it is amazing that two people like us who have never seen two people like us who have never seen it are talking about it. everybody is talking about it. seen it are talking about it. everybody is talking about itm seen it are talking about it. everybody is talking about it. it is true. i know that the bbc have taken it up in terms of the mental health of some other contestants and it rings with the stuff we have seen about social media on the impact on teenagers. this format has been sold to around six countries, it is in australia, germany, finland, norway,

sweden, so it's obviously extremely successful. british dating reality show that sort of caused a revival in this whole franchise and the sale of it. and this is the thing, these hit programmes can bring in huge sources of income to those who have created them. yes, and, i mean, created them. yes, and, i mean, created them. yes, and, i mean, created them as well, also the co ntesta nts, created them as well, also the contestants, there was a report a week ago that people successful on love island, not even a successful love island, not even a successful love island, not even a successful love island can see more income as a consequence than if they had a degree from cambridge. some of the co ntesta nts degree from cambridge. some of the contestants are looking at millions, they are going to make, apparently. thank you for being on the briefing. and thank you too for your company. have a really good day. we will see you soon. hello again. love it or loathe it, it looks like the hot weather is set to return to south—east england towards the end of the week and the weekend as well.

before we get there, though, we'll showers on monday. there will be further showers around today as well. of more immediate concern is this developing area of cloud towards the south—west approaches. this is going to reactivate a weatherfront, and during the early hours of tuesday, we will see showers widespread in southern england, wales, the midlands and one or two in northern england as well, but as well as those showers, there's going to be a clump of heavier rain that will probably become quite widespread across central, southern england, the south midlands and swinging into east anglia and south—east england. the thing with this big area of rain is we will have squally winds and could have some lightning in it as well. the rain could be intense, so we could have some pretty awful conditions on the roads first thing in the east midlands, east anglia and south—east england, somewhere in that part of the world. the rain could be quite slow to ease off in the morning. by the afternoon, they will be long out of the way and we will see sunshine following on behind. looking at the weather picture further northwards and westwards, it was always going to be a kind of cloudy and windy kind of day and there's rain in the forecast too, especially in the highlands and western isles. a few showers pushing into north—western counties

of northern ireland, but otherwise, there should be a fair bit of dry and cloudy weather. temperatures, 18 in belfast. moving further south and we lose the early rain in eastern areas, that could be quite heavy and the afternoon is much brighter with some sunshine, and temperatures pushing on to around 25 degrees. it might feel a little on the humid side for you. that's tuesday's weather, let's take a look towards the middle part of the week, and we've got this warm front approaching the british isles. that's going to thicken the cloud up in northern ireland, and outbreaks of rain setting in here through wednesday afternoon, turning quite heavy as well. i think it probably will cloud over across wales and south—western england too. we'll get some rain towards the end of the day working into west scotland, but that still leaves east anglia and the south—east of england with warm air, temperatures up to 27. so pushing into the 80s in terms of fahrenheit. showers will continue to be a feature on thursday into north—western areas, some of these could be quite heavy, and normally there's a good deal of cloud in the north—west, keeping the temperatures generally in the low 20s. not bad for the time of year, but it's the heat is really lingering in east anglia and the south—east of

england as well. those temperatures build further towards the end of the week into the weekend. look at cambridge, not far from 30 here. cloudy but bright in north—western parts of the uk but towards the end of the week, some areas could reach the low 30s in the very hottest spots. that's your weather. good morning. welcome to breakfast, with louise minchin and dan walker. our headlines today: charities are guilty of complacency verging on complicity over sexual abuse by staff, says a damning report on international aid. the father of missing airman corrie mckeague says they now know what's happened to him. it is sunrise in benidorm. i'm here to find out how brexit will affect oui’ to find out how brexit will affect our holidays. high street help
