platform. let's be sure to save some time for that bands. the bloomberg interview with trump is again making headlines on several fronts. the wto... do you think it is a genuine fret? he does this. has a trend of doing this. i am not happy, i will pull out, get members around the table and try to renegotiate. they have been doing serious things. in washington they have been blocking thejudges... the wto is established to provide rules of global trade. america is a founding member. it was led by them. but part of the crucial work they do is to resolve disputes in trades —— trade rows between countries. and
5:47 am
washington has been blocking the appointment of people into the panel ofjudges which is serious. and he is complaining. the us brings more dispute to the wto than any other member country. but they win that 90% of them. member country. but they win that 9096 of them. but they have lost 9096 of the ones brought against them. and i think this has to do with china. china filed complaints against the tariffs and this is just leading from that, really. clearly, the us wants another round of ta riffs of the us wants another round of tariffs of up to $200 billion on china, potentially, in the coming weeks. this is part and parcel of the america first plan of donald trump and typical of him saying that he will pull out unless it is renegotiated. it was announced at the beginning that we would do this and then this and now 200 billion which takes it to, what? $500
5:48 am
billion? exactly. and china will retaliate. that they are also complaining to the wto which they have recently joined. the donald trump says that if they do we will pull out. had bitter pill. ottawa puts a brave face on a sense of betrayal. they have been cornered, haven't they? they have. and this is difficult for kenya because they have little room for leveraged. what is important to say is that kenya we re is important to say is that kenya were given a deadline by the end of today so they have either stepped in for negotiations or they will shortly. —— she was in europe she has cut that short and gone to the usa to re— negotiate nafta. it was interesting how the united states
5:49 am
agreed to deal with mexico's first and was that because he is not a fan ofjustin trudeau or because it is easier to do that with mexico and canada now need to fight? it can benefit canada in the sense that they have minimum wage and in terms of car manufacturing so north america can benefit from that. but there are two contentious issues. both the usa and canada are protecting their dairy farmers. that isa protecting their dairy farmers. that is a tiny amount in terms of the trade relationship. it is leveraged for canada because canada wants to look at chapter 19 of the old nafta and for canada it will be a case of which is more important. dairy form is -- which is more important. dairy form is —— farmers are important in canadian politics. forjustin trudeau this will affect votes in the next election so he must be careful. the consequences could be

severe. looking at the market. argentina's economy is in trouble, isn't it? last year they seemed to be going well and everybody thought the peso was overvalued but this is plummeting. they are struggling because of drought so in terms of commodity trading they have suffered. they have a huge and potential loan from the imf which argentina is not a fan of solid is about mass recovery. they were doing well and then they were plunged into high inflation rates and the cost of goodsin high inflation rates and the cost of goods in argentina for their citizens are the same. the cost of living as high as is inflation. it affects the people and they will need to find a way to get through this. 16 years ago they were shut out of the international market because everything collapsed. there

will come a time when the political consequences here will lead to him going. absolutely. that is one to watch in terms of how the international community response to this crisis. is $50 billion are not? exactly. exactly. —— enough. now, i have laid from the new york times here. venice is limiting the number of people coming to visit. this is fascinating. these are tourist destinations, some people, complaining of the fact that they are flooded by tourism and this has been fuelled by aianb and ube and technology companies. many places are grateful to these companies for increasing tourism and argentina could possibly do with a bit more considering their situation. this is
5:52 am
this is about the residents complaining that there are too many tourists. lots of tourists having to queue behind backpackers. ways to resolve these issues both it increases and boosts economy is. we complain when we do not have enough tourism. and if you are saving and borrowing for your holiday, don't use wonga. they are folding. a taste of your own medicine. 5800% interest. so if you borrow £250, it will cost you £150. it is outrageous. so what has happened is that the average loan from wonga and everytime there is a complaint it costs wonga 500 and 50, 500 £90. so
5:53 am
that outweighs anything they will make. more complaints about wonga, it does raise 10 million recently from investors. 10 million is not a lot of money so that is not enough for wonga and the trouble they are in. one might ask if this should have happened a long time ago and some would say yes. there are other territories that they still operate in. but for any wonga people who have borrowed, you do still need to make your payments. don't think that this will clear your debt. lets and now with theresa may in africa. how will it be remembered?” now with theresa may in africa. how will it be remembered? i think she isa will it be remembered? i think she is a sport for dancing as long as she did. my family is from nairobi so she did. my family is from nairobi soi she did. my family is from nairobi so i know the dance they are doing. i'm fascinated by how the main street media focuses on these ——

5:55 am
well, friday is not looking too bad at all across most of the uk. for the next couple of days will probably bring a little bit of cloud, a little bit of rain, not an awful lot. it is in fact going to be mostly dry for a lot of us and crucially, the temperatures will be rising. so while meteorological summer is coming to an end and friday is the last day of meteorological summer, and the 1st of september, it is autumn, technically, according to meteorologists. this is the forecast for the early hours of friday, a lot of clear weather out there, temperatures will be around 12 degrees at 5am on friday, a bit chilly in newcastle and edinburgh. we are talking about six, there will be a hint of autumn first thing on friday morning. some sunshine around and a beautiful start to the day. there is a weather front approaching, you can see thatjust to the west of our neighbourhood. that will encroach on to northern ireland and maybe the isles of scilly later in the day, bringing a few spots of rain but nothing more than that.
5:56 am
for most of us it is a dry day. i wouldn't rule out a shower in the south—east, so just a brief few spots of rain, that's pretty much it. temperatures will be typically around 20 degrees or so. friday is not a bad day. saturday, there is a weather front just stuck to the north—west of us. that means a little bit of cloud and rainfall. scotland, maybe the irish sea. we are not talking about an awful lot. if you squint you can see a little bit here just off lancashire and cumbria and south—western parts of scotland, maybe central parts of scotland, getting a few spots of light rain, possibly northern ireland. that's pretty much it. if anything, it will just be thicker cloud. central and eastern areas looking fine. if you've got plans on saturday, much of england is looking dry, and warming up as well, temperatures in the low 20s. saturday into sunday, we start to see warmer air coming out of france. this is high pressure here, low pressure there. when we get this sort of setup, this kind of pattern, anything that comes from the west is going to get stuck, and then it sort of slides off to the north—west. so this is where we could see a little bit of rain during the course of sunday, but by the time we get to the afternoon i think the weather fronts will be stuck in the north—west, whereas many central, eastern and southern areas will remain dry.
5:57 am
the winds will be light across the uk. that means those temperatures on saturday, or sunday rather, are going to be climbing. on sunday we could be talking about 25 degrees in the south—east. into the low 20s even further north. that's it from me. bye— bye. good morning. welcome to breakfast with steph mcgovern and naga munchetty. our headlines today: the number of over—65s needing round—the—clock care expected to rise by a third in the next 20 years, sparking fears for social care in england. an arrest in the case of the mother and her daughter murdered in solihull on monday — a 21—year—old man is held by police. singing
