5:45 am
canada should be included. germany's chemnitzer morgenpost is covering the far—right and anti—fascist clashes there. this is the local newspaper. its front page saying the politicians are helpless and the police are overwhelmed, and has a double—page spread inside the paper details the violence in the city. —— detailing. the front page of the arab news among many covering the un report on myanmar‘s treatment of rohingya muslims. its headline is among the most scathing — "genocide and she did nothing", that's underneath a picture of leader, aung saan su kyi. the financial times saying an increasing number of premier league footballers are requesting to be paid in euro or are using hedging schemes to protect their pay after brexit. and a shocking study makes the guardian's lead story. it reports that high pollution levels not only have an effect
5:46 am
on our physical health, but are causing what it calls a huge reduction in our intelligence. back with me is nina trentmann from the wall streetjournal. let's get stuck in, starting with this new deal between mexico and the united states. we're looking at the in mexico and its take on it, the mexican leader saying come on, let's crack open the tequila. obviously it is really good news for both economies are we still do not really know the detail of this and i guess when we get the detail, we will know which side is getting the best out of this. yeah, i guess we will then also know who is actually celebrating in the end, who might be having more tequila than the other. one of the causes and the new framework will be this clause on wages, so framework will be this clause on wages, so they are about 40% of car components have to be made in places that are paying a certain amount
5:47 am
pour that are paying a certain amount poui’ oui’, that are paying a certain amount pour our, that was one of the main requirements of the comeback administration. —— per hour. that was one of the other core demands that the trump administration had. and when it comes to the trade relationship between mexico and the us, a lot of it is about the car industry, isn't it? yes, there are many international car makers, including us ones, that moved to mexico once nafta was signed in order to benefit from lower wages and labour cost in mexico to produce their cars and then reimport parts oi’ their cars and then reimport parts or also import for vehicles back into the us. i think the interesting thing is of course also going to be how is canada going to fit into all of this? because mexico has or has previously said we not going to sign a deal without canada, which they have just done a deal without canada, which they havejust done or which a deal without canada, which they have just done or which they are in the process of doing, so mr trump has given canada a of friday to agree what they have agreed with
5:48 am
mexico. it will be interesting to see howjustin trudeau response, the canadian prime minister, and obviously those trade negotiations in canada. because actually the relationship betweenjustin trudeau and trump has not been that great, howzat? low, it hasn't, mr trudeau has been very outspoken in criticising mr trump. —— no. has been very outspoken in criticising mr trump. -- no. so has mrtrump. criticising mr trump. -- no. so has mr trump. no, of course, from the canadian perspective, as a nafta partner, it is important to be able to speak out against future towers that the us administration is imposing. that is one of the key reasons why of canada has not really signed up to the seat. —— tariffs. will watch this space for me get the detail on it, so really interesting to get your take on this. you are from germany and this is the local newspaper in chemnitz looking at the
5:49 am
difficulties there. talk us through, from your perspective, what is happening placemat, howard being handled, there are so many different opinions on how it is all being handled. this particular article talks about the police being overwhelmed. yeah, ithink talks about the police being overwhelmed. yeah, i think that is one of the things that i find most striking. —— how it is all being handled. after the death of this as—year—old, it is supposed to be a syrian and an iraqi citizen that are being investigated so far, we do not really know whether they were investigated in the stabbing or not. i think it is interesting to see that the police did not really anticipate these kind of mass demonstrations, there were several thousand people on both sides. so liberals and from, on the left—hand side, and then also on the right—hand side of the spectrum demonstrating against each other, and of course that escalated to some degree. you're looking at pictures now of some of the disruption, some of the reaction, the pro testing on
5:50 am
how the police are reacting to it. angela merkel is calling for calm, she is calling for people to be measured in their reaction. how do you think this will play out?” guess it depends very much on whether the police are able to say 0k, whether the police are able to say ok, this is a single event, don't overrea ct ok, this is a single event, don't overreact because of course, there isa overreact because of course, there is a huge underlying issue, especially in east germany with attitudes to foreigners, especially when they come from the middle east backgrounds, off the back of the influx of a lot of refugees in 2015. it highlights one of the key questions and issues, how to integrate people and also how to make sure that german citizens are treating them well, like there have been a few instances where foreigners have been attacked and assaulted, which of course is exactly what you do not want to see because this is in the end, just a single incident. and i guess it highlights a very important questions for angela merkel to deal with, how to integrate both the
5:51 am
refugees and any other foreigners, but also then how to make sure that german society is possibly becoming more open and also does not overrea ct. more open and also does not overreact. which i guess is what this is highlighting. let's move on to the arab news now on its front page is looking at the un investigation into the actions on the part of the authorities in myanmar, the genocide, they are calling it. the headline is very strong, genocide, and she did nothing, a picture of aung san suu kyi, the leader in myanmar, next to refugees. it is an absolute atrocity thatis refugees. it is an absolute atrocity that is going on, many of them have fled in the thousands and thousands to bangladesh across the border. the un report, the investigation, again came out with some very stark and quite worrying conclusions. the government in myanmar saying, stepping away from it, removing
5:52 am
responsibility from themselves. the arab news not pulling punches. well, i guess the interesting finding is that this un report is amongst, i think we have not really seen that many publications and reports that we re many publications and reports that were singling out aung san suu kyi in her role as that fact ahead of government, and also as a moral authority in the country after decades of staying under house arrest. and her role in this transition of myanmar towards a more, well, it remains to be seen actually whether it is the case, more democratic government and that is less influenced by the military. and this is saying that in the end she did not use the powers and the tools that she had at her spies or when last year, around 700,000 rohingya fled to bangladesh. the list of atrocities in the un report
5:53 am
include rape, torture, enforced disappearance and murder. i mean it isa disappearance and murder. i mean it is a harrowing list. obviously, it is a harrowing list. obviously, it is all over the papers, all over the media today and it is something we are keeping a very close eye on that we have got to move on because we are running out of time. ijust want to talk about this high pollution story, high pollution levels causing a huge reduction in intelligence. so jumping over the emir league stars's pay it story, you can read about that if you want to in the natural times, the guardian story talks about the fact that research suggests you could lose one year in terms of intelligence. if you live ina terms of intelligence. if you live in a city where pollution levels are very high. yeah, interestingly, the research was conducted in china, which of course provides a good testing ground for polluted cities. but the article is saying that this is also applicable to other areas in the world where you have high pollution levels. well, london. just
5:54 am
in the enough, especially males, elderly males and those with lower education that are the most prone to losing some of their mental intelligent. you lose one new's education, it says. it is quite interesting that normally we talk about the health implications, but this looks like, looks at other areas as well. one of the first cases where people have actually made this connection between air pollution and mental ability, and then also people losing that. we shall keep an eye out. thank you so much. thank you. nice to see you. in you too for your company on the briefing today. stay with us as we keep you right up to date. hello. as high pressure builds,
5:55 am
the end of this week looks pretty quiet weatherwise. until then, though, a couple of weather systems to affect us. this is the big picture as tuesday begins. low pressure to the north—west of us already starting to feed some rain in towards the north—west of scotland. elsewhere, a quiet start to the week. this weather system eventually will make an impact. so for this week's weather, there's a chance of rain. not everybody‘s going to see it and it may not amount to too much. there will also be quite a bit of dry and occasionally sunny weather, particularly later this week, as we'll see. now, these are your starting numbers for tuesday morning. temperatures into double figures for many. maybe one or two mist and fog patches around. fair amount of cloud, don't expect too much in the way of morning sunshine. a breeze and outbreaks of rain into the western isles of scotland and this system is only very slowly pushing further south—east during the day. whereas ahead of that, we keep a good deal of cloud, a few breaks allowing a few sunny spells to come through.
5:56 am
some outbreaks of rain will feed into the northern isles through the day and this weather system starting to see one or two showers breaking out. the rain will start to feed into the western side of northern ireland, leaving the best of the sunshine here in the east. across england and wales, after some misty and murky weather to begin with, some bright or sunny spells may keep low cloud into the moors of south—west of england, maybe one or two spots of drizzle. temperatures into the high teens, a few spots in the low 20s, average for the time of year. into tuesday night, we take some outbreaks of rain through scotland and northern ireland, and we introduce the possibility of seeing some thundery showers working into parts of southern england, maybe clipping parts of the midlands, into east anglia, certainly into the south—east by wednesday morning. turning cooler behind the weather front as temperatures dip away into single figures. for many, though, again, double figures as wednesday begins. two weather systems to look out for the big picture on wednesday. this one clipping south—eastern parts moving away, and this one tracking south—east across the uk. so eventually during wednesday,
5:57 am
it looks like we'll say goodbye to this weather system, but still with some outbreaks of rain before it clears. but look how this weather system is weakening as it moves further south—east. one or two showers left behind. the cooler, fresher air behind with sunny spells and showers to western scotland, maybe one or two for northern ireland. temperatures, again many into the high teens, just a few scraping into the low 20s, fairly close to average, maybe a little below in some spots. and then, by the end of the week, it's all looking very quiet because pressure is building, things are settling down. still a fair amount of cloud, though. good morning, welcome to breakfast, with louise minchin and dan walker. our headlines today: a huge manhunt for this man, wanted over the double murder of a mother and daughter stabbed to death in the street in solihull. the prime minister's mission to woo africa after brexit. theresa may arrives in cape town with plans to boost the uk's investment. tackling plastic pollution in our seas from the skies. scientists take a new approach
5:58 am
in the war on waste. a fuel to cut carbon emissions. it's coming to our forecourts in the next few years, but many popular family cars are unable to use it. i'll have the details. in sport, harry kane sets spurs on their way to a thumping win and heaps more misery on manchester united.
