but says the stateman's been snubbed by trump. and, finally the telegraph with what's being called the holy grail for weight loss, a pill that's been shown to help middle—aged slimmers lose three times the weight as those not taking it. back with me isjoseph sternberg from the wall streetjournal. the coverage of the pope visit to ireland. it was highly anticipated but it has been overshadowed by this document, this letter, sent out at the moment he was in ireland by another member of the catholic church who was accusing the pope of knowing more than what he is saying. the real scandal is in the united

states for the church. a series of revelations have come to light. a cardinal in washington, dc and the american catholic church's most prominent leader, and a grand jury report reporting decades of abuse in the state of pennsylvania. i think american catholics and really americans who are not catholics, will be very distressed by this report by the vatican that several popes have been aware that some of these cases have been going around and not at that on it is a real blow to the authority of the church. the pope is refusing to say anything about this and is quoted as saying, basically, i am about this and is quoted as saying, basically, iam paraphrasing, saying he expects us as journalists to make

oui’ he expects us as journalists to make our right conclusions.” he expects us as journalists to make our right conclusions. i think that is not what american catholics are going to be wanting to hear from here because one of the criticism that has surfaced quickly in the wa ke that has surfaced quickly in the wake of these recent scandals, is the tendency for the church hierarchy to retreat behind pr. circling the wagons and avoid publicly discussing these cases and what people desperately want to hear is some form of public apology and acknowledgement that the reason a serious problem because it is a real question of how effect of lead they can protect people and have accountability. it will be interesting to see how this goes forward because of this story is not going to go away. it is of huge importance to those in the catholic church in the us are also outside of

it. also in ireland there was a lot of abuse. it is something that really adds an extra level of distress to the situation, the fact that it was not local to one country, to one diocese but seems to be very widespread. in america, the church, even the people who are not catholics, they have a certain moral authority and stood up and tried to protect people and it turns out they we re protect people and it turns out they were not. in the financialtimes, on the front page, uber shifts from ca i’s the front page, uber shifts from cars to bikes for short trips. what are they planning? they tried to get around the fact that there is a lot of competition for this market. i personally use uber but i have used

other... i have used it once when i was having an emergency. other... i have used it once when i was having an emergencylj other... i have used it once when i was having an emergency. i use other apps as well. it is a very competitive market. if they think they can broaden their scope into they can broaden their scope into the bicycle hire that is also potentially very competitive but it might get them around some regulatory problems. they have extremely competitive and uber is a disrupt and it goes with the territory and it has had a real battle when it comes to operations in london and many other cities around the world so it has to think of other ways to bring in revenues. one of the thoughts i have had, sometimes it can be difficult to figure out what is unique about any given taxi app but what is it that

uber does that others cannot do and really a lot of it has to do with the branding and marketing. really a lot of it has to do with the branding and marketingm really a lot of it has to do with the branding and marketing. it is very green, inner—city travel on pushbike is much in the front of what policy makers want to do in cities and many argue that uber has caused more congestion in some cities across the world. caused more congestion in some cities across the worldlj caused more congestion in some cities across the world. i do not know that i was by that argument but the fact is, if policy makers believe it, a company like uber has to respond to it in some way so a big getting into the bicycle business is a way to address that. the question of the guardian is asking, should humans be using the allergy to control the weather? this is in reaction to a story that emerged last week, we were looking at it. farmers in mexico accusing vw

of ruining their crop cause of the technology they are using to stop hailstorms from damaging their vehicles. i think there is a bit of a question whether humans can control the weather... we have been trying to do the generations and failed miserably. part of me is interested that the areas of this technology and experimentation going on but certainly it will raise uncertainty about issues of balancing the interests of an auto manufacturer and nearby farmers. before we get into that question you have to ask yourself, is it the technology doing anything. for farmers in mexico i guess they hoping for some compensation or something of that nature but then, many farmers all over the world have been grappling with that very issue this summer. it is impacting prices

in the uk. that story really caught my attention because oftentimes we think of food as something that shows up in the store and we have lost that intuitive connection we had with the food supply but, guess what? the way that doesn't matter to food supply. you are from the us and the sun has got a huge tribute in its centre pages to date to senator john mccain who sadly died having been fighting a very progressive form of brain cancer. —— today. a very emotive headline. but lots of pictures of him over the years. most people know him around the world full of the different reasons. this isa full of the different reasons. this is a terribly sad moment in american popular life because we have far too

few politicians likejohn mccain who was very principled but also very dignified. certainly, considering other american politicians, it is in short supply. one thing i found striking about all the tributes is the number of people who respected him even when they disagreed with him even when they disagreed with him very deeply. absolutely. you get the feeling that he was respected by both republicans and democrats because he was extremely vocal all the time about what he believed in so the time about what he believed in so passionately. right up to the point, quite in recent weeks. what was so point, quite in recent weeks. what was so important about him, he understood that ultimately we were talking about political issues. you could have disagreements within

people in the political system without calling them evil because they disagreed with you on tax policy will make healthcare policy. they think a bad instinct, developing in american politics now, is to imbue this political issues with the moral significance that they do not reserve. and it looks like donald trump is not invited. again, that is just like donald trump is not invited. again, that isjust an like donald trump is not invited. again, that is just an example of the loss of dignity being such a problem here. thank you for being on the briefing and thank you also and we hope you have a lovely day to day andi we hope you have a lovely day to day and i will see you soon. bye—bye. hello, good morning. after all the cold, wet weather that we had yesterday, you know things can only get better. it was stuck at 13 degrees for much of the afternoon,

and with some rain heavy enough to give some localised flooding. we almost had two inches of rain falling in south wales. it came from all that thick cloud there. well, that has moved away. still quite a moist, westerly airstream heading our way, so there'll be a fair bit of cloud around today. but at least we will see some sunshine at times, and no more thanjust a few light showers. it will be warmer, as well. so a few showers coming in on the westerly breeze across northern ireland for awhile, western scotland, over the irish sea into the north—west of england and wales. the showers becoming fewer through the afternoon. southern and eastern areas may stay dry. some sunshine at times, 19 degrees typically. significantly warmer than yesterday in scotland and eastern england, and perhaps the low 20s in the afternoon for the south—east and east anglia. fine as we head into the evening, and a lot of the cloud will tend to break up, because we're seeing pressure rising. clear skies for the most part overnight, and maybe temperatures down to nine or ten degrees. a bit of rain not far from the north—west by the end of the night. may start with some pockets of mist and fog in southern counties

of england, shouldn't last long. plenty of sunshine for awhile, then as temperatures rise, the cloud develops, spreads out a little bit, and then that will break up later on in the day. it should be dry, really, apart from the far north—west of scotland and northern ireland. some warmer conditions spilling into eastern scotland, maybe the low 20s here, mid 20s possible for east anglia and the south—east. some difficulties tuesday and into wednesday. that band of rain is coming in from the atlantic on the weather front. but there are developments taking place around biscay into the near continent, threatening some heavy bursts of rain, perhaps, not far away from east anglia and the south—east of england. the worst of itjust across the water, perhaps, and that weather front coming into england and wales bringing more cloud than rain, the rain tending to peter out. and behind that, we should get more sunshine for scotland and northern ireland, with a slightly cooler and fresher feel here. that wetter weather does tend to ease through, and obviously the worst of itjust across the near continent. but high pressure then builds in behind that, settling things down. thursday looks like being a nice day. it'll start off a bit cool, perhaps,

but it's going to be dry and there should be quite a bit of sunshine, hardly a breath of wind. get the sunshine, and with the light winds it should feel quite pleasant. still, temperatures near—average for the time of year, low 20s in the south—east, around 17 through the central belt of scotland. a lot of dry weather again, really, friday, perhaps into saturday away from the north—west, and the signs are that especially in the south—east it should get a bit warmer. good morning. welcome to breakfast, with dan walker and louise minchin. our headlines today: why the cost of food is set to rise. farmers say this year's wild weather will leave shoppers paying the price at the checkout. two people have been killed and ii others injured after a shooting injacksonville, florida. could it be the end for wonga? the payday lender says it is considering all its options after reports it is on the brink of collapse. in sport: are they united or not? mourinho's mood may change if they beat tottenham tonight. and, after a very soggy sunday,

forget about that. the week
