staying with brexit in the independent, and this story looks at the possible negative impact of a lack of red tape. the story says the australian meat industry is lobbying to pressure britian to accept inferior products currently banned under eu law. and finally in the guardian, is the price of a pint getting too expensive? some uk adovcacy groups say yes, claiming increasing prices are forcing people to buy from supermarkets and pubs to close. with me is nina trentmann of the wall streetjournal. let's start with what is a second tragedy in a week for those in jakarta, the jakarta appointed —— the jakarta post pointing out the earthquake in lombok. ullah of australians. —— a lot. earthquake in lombok. ullah of australians. -- a lot. an island big and well travelled by britons and europeans. it is reminding of the

tsunami in 200a. europeans. it is reminding of the tsunami in 2004. there are after—shocks, but i guess when you have been through that, 150,000 plus people dying, any of this will trigger panic. that is one of the things i thought was interesting, because of the geology around indonesia, something that will keep happening in some way or form, given that tectonic plates are colliding around the so—called pacific rim of fire. just because the plates are meeting there, it you have these events happening on a regular base. for bali as well, they have felt it all there, the fear of heading back in that direction. let's move on to the story being covered. the guardian leading on the
5:47 am
apparent assassination attempt. i say apparent because he is claiming it is, there seems to have been an explosion but no one is quite sure who did it. he is blaming the far right. has been one far right rebel group who have set on twitter that they showed the government is vulnerable, it is a matter of time because it is. —— until it is. vulnerable, it is a matter of time because it is. -- until it is. that isa group because it is. -- until it is. that is a group we know very little about. they haven't been present apart from a couple of tweaks, which have led a couple of people saying it looks very much like a hoax and isn't it very timely that at the time where inflation is skyrocketing and there is a severe food crisis and there is a severe food crisis and a lack of development happening
5:48 am
ina and a lack of development happening in a downward spiralfor and a lack of development happening in a downward spiral for venezuela, that this attack has happened and it isa that this attack has happened and it is a drone with explosives that is getting headlines. what drones can do, itjust goes to show the potential. for all things, you can use it for good and bad. one of the concerns here is that this might just be another excludes —— excuse for nicolas maduro to silence its critics and also to tighten his reign on venezuela. it is 20 -- there to say he has plenty of enemies, politically. we can hardly escaped the grip of brexit stuff on a monday morning. —— escape a bit of brexit stuff. financial times focusing on philip hammond, the chancellor, picking out the french for two—day. —— today. a move to reduce the access, the financial
5:49 am
pa rt reduce the access, the financial part of london's access to the eu post—brexit. part of london's access to the eu post-brexit. these were comments that were made in a meeting with sitting eu leaders to discuss the government's checkers strategy and one of the concerns he voice was that the eu, after an initial period of try to keep things as they are after brexit, to make sure that there is not much disruption which could also impact european union countries. that they could be a tense afterwards, especially led by the french, to make sure there are limitations to limit access for city —based companies are. french have the reputation of being more in favour of redtape then the british, thatis favour of redtape then the british, that is one of the things where if the uk leads the eu, certain rules will just be the uk leads the eu, certain rules willjust be made without its input.
5:50 am
that is one of the things, that the german government has been concerned about. this liberal —— liberal and market orientated, they are more in favour of regulation. we hear a lot about this term of project topic at fear, that is is expected to be what is within the brexit negotiation but this always seems to be a message that mark my words, overtime, you will see. there is no clarity to when and but basically saying if we are not careful this will come. one of the reasons he was mentioning this was to say that in the face of this was to say that in the face of this we need to make sure that we are exploring new routes to growth for the city, which could be towards emerging markets. it remains to be seen, is one of the things brexit thatis seen, is one of the things brexit that is difficult to forecast and many that is difficult to forecast and ma ny effects that is difficult to forecast and many effects will only show
5:51 am
overtime. the argument was the french government wants to boost the standing of paris as the financial centre, which is yet to be seen. you see emerging markets as a new target, it could be old markets coming back again the. looking at australia, the story that the independent is focusing on, the meat industry is seeing an opportunity. it is really whether we are ready for burnt goat had. they are ready to push on to brecon —— britain the sort of material that the eu would not accept. that is at least what this story is claiming and quoting. they are quoting people from australian meat producing associations saying that a more liberalised uk import regime then is currently in place would deliver advantages to the australian red meat industry. the department for
5:52 am
international trade has said that thatis international trade has said that that is not go to happen and there wouldn't be any lowering of that, but it is interesting to see that the australian meat industry is using growth hormones that have been banned in the eu since 1981. 40%. that is amounting to a lot of australian grown meat is treated with this hormones. that is concerning. it seems like the push isa concerning. it seems like the push is a pretty hard push from australia. how many times have we heard, we will not have correlated chicken from the us, but possibility of sta kes chicken from the us, but possibility of stakes of growth hormone from australia is equally possible. what i wonder is how much leverage the australian government has because in the end, the uk could source from other places after brexit and should
5:53 am
trade with the eu become that much more difficult. as we are pointed out, at the moment australian exports to the uk are 1.5% of total exports, meat exports, it is a small amount at the moment. well if we do get more australian meat coming in for the barbecue we will be having a lot more to drink at home as well, judging from our last story. the price of eight point. i think it will go up 2p in the next month to tax. according to the campaign, more than half of uk adults struggle afford to drink in pubs. perhaps it is something that i didn't know, really, but 5— £6 for a plate, frightening. —— height. —— pint. i was at iwas ata i was at a pub and got to make lagers and was surprised it cost me £11. it is half a point of year and
5:54 am
lemonade. you still pay for two yea rs lemonade. you still pay for two years and for the lemonade. the core concern here is notjust that prices are going up but people are opting for other options, for example drinking beer at home, which is impacting pubs. especially the small and independent pubs, large chains like wetherspoon ‘s are able to say that to their suppliers, thank you very much. especially the smaller pubs are. we will leave it there, will have appear later. thank you for watching the briefing, stay with us. hello. it's been a weekend of contrast across the uk. scotland and northern ireland have seen more cloud with some outbreaks
5:55 am
of rain at times. england and wales have seen plenty of sunshine and it's been very warm if not hot. but some changes to come through the week. slowly we start to lose the heat. it will feel fresher for all of us, an increasing chance of seeing some showers and also still some sunshine, and it's sunshine we'll continue to see for much of england and wales on monday underneath this area of high pressure. meanwhile, for scotland and northern ireland, these fronts will continue to bring more cloud, and also some outbreaks of rain. but slowly it will ease through monday and become increasingly more patchy, maybe a little bit of rain possibly get into the far north of england through the afternoon. equally some breaks of cloud in eastern scotland. after we've lost the mist and low cloud on the western coast, lots of sunshine for england and wales, feeling warm, with 31 or 32 possible in east anglia and south—east england. still 23 celsius for eastern parts of scotland in the best of the sunshine. through tomorrow evening, for most it will be dry with clear skies again for england and wales, before mist and low cloud reforms on western coasts. still a zone of cloud from scotland to northern england could produce a bit of drizzle at times.
5:56 am
temperatures dropping to between 12 and 16 celsius in many areas, 17 or 18 maybe still in south—east england. we still have the front going from monday into tuesday. it's a weakening feature as it slips south and east. still a band of cloud stretching from scotland down into parts of wales and south—east england. and it's a dividing line really between the fresher air behind it and still holding onto the heat and warmth further south and east. tuesday will be the last hot day that we see for some time across south—east england. you've still have that zone of cloud, as i mentioned, stretching down from scotland into wales and that could bring patchy rain for a time on tuesday. but it will fizzle out and actually by tuesday afternoon, most areas will become largely dry with sunshine. temperatures still exceeding 30 celsius across east anglia and south—east england. the fresher feel further north and west, but it is the last of the hot days. actually through tuesday evening, we could well see some thunderstorms developing across eastern and southern england.
5:57 am
as they start to clear away, we'll all be in something fresher as we go into wednesday and thursday. certainly the case across much of scotland, northern ireland and northern england. still some showers around here through wednesday and thursday. but notice the drop in temperature further south and east. many places still dry with an increasing chance that some of us could see some showers. bye— bye. good morning, welcome to breakfast with dan walker and naga munchetty. our headlines today: a man is charged with the murder of midwife samantha eastwood, who disappeared in staffordshire ten days ago. more than 90 people are killed as a devastating earthquake hits the indonesian island of lombok, the second in a week. good morning. building on the green belt. is it a solution to the housing crisis or are they areas to be protected? i'm looking at a new report claiming almost 500,000 homes are currently planned on green belt land. the first tentative steps of four
